Chapter IV: Emergencies

Step out of Grape Skin Lane and cross Swordfish Street, in a lush acacia forest, where the lights are brilliantly lit, is the Pink Mermaid Bar.

The Pink Mermaid Bar, Tulum Port's top luxury gold nest, is called a bar, which is actually a complex of high-end hotels, secret casinos, members-only clubs, private auction houses, private museums, and art galleries.

When Joe stumbled to the pink mermaid with Billy, the huge gold nest was bustling.

The castle-like main building is brightly lit, and the violin sounds are melodious and melodious in the east and west side buildings, and through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows polished with snow, you can see a large group of beautifully dressed men and women singing and dancing in the two annexes.

Directly in front of the main building, in the middle of the small square, there is a bronze group sculpture fountain that occupies almost half of the area of the square, twelve bronze largemouth sea fish spraying white flowers in the middle of the fountain, the one is more than six feet high, coiled on the bronze base of the pink glass mermaid statue.

The main building's black oak and brass door nails were closed, and more than a dozen gas lamps hung on the exterior walls on both sides of the gate, and the blue and white lights flickered, illuminating most of the square.

At the doorway, on the left and on the right, stood two burly men about seven feet tall, with skin as black as ebony, wearing crisp black tuxedos, snow-white shirts lined with snow-white shirts, black bow ties, and silk white gloves on their hands.

Qiao staggered over, and from a long distance, the two big men at the door had already had the brightest smiles on their black faces. They grinned, two rows of snow-white teeth gleaming in the light of the gaslights.

They ran down the stairs and greeted Joe with a small briskly step.

"Dear Young Master Qiao, I haven't seen you for a long time, you, you've lost weight." The two great men greeted Qiao warmly, and at the same time bowed to him deeply, with extremely standard movements and meticulous ninety degrees.

The two great men are from the Black Continent and are slave guards raised by pink mermaids.

But they speak the standard official language of the Delen Empire, even more standard than Joe, who has a local accent in the port of Tulum.

"Skinny?" Qiao touched his plump cheeks, then touched his double chin, and frowned a little distressedly: "It should be thin." In the past month and a half, I have been sleeping in the open and running around, which is really hard. But what can be done? As the youngest police sergeant in the history of Tulun Port, in order to maintain the law and order of the empire, and for the peace and contentment of the residents of Tulun Port. ”

Joe sighed melancholy: "My partners and I have a duty to do it. ”

A big man smiled and nodded: "So, Young Master Qiao, you must pay attention to the combination of work and rest." For the sake of the safety of Tulum Harbor, you must take care of yourself. ”

Joe sighed wistfully again: "Yes, that's right, it makes so much sense." So, I brought a few friends and came here to have some fun. ”

Blinking his eyes and looking around quickly for a while, Joe lowered his voice: "But, we haven't been here today!" ”

Another big man nodded knowingly: "Of course, tonight, we haven't seen Young Master Qiao...... If anyone meets you here......"

Joe quickly added, "We're catching thieves, passing by!" Understand? ”

The two big men laughed in unison: "We understand that Young Master Qiao did his duty and passed by the pink mermaid in order to catch the thief!" ”

Smiling happily, Joe waved his hand, took out seven or eight gold coins from his pocket, and threw them to the two big men.

Billy's eyes widened as they looked at the gold coins that Joe had casually scattered.

"Generous chief." Billy sighed.

Billy and a few of his companions, at the same time, exaggeratedly pressed their hands to the heart. The gold coins that Joe casually threw out were already worth several months of their salaries plus gray income!

"My private dining room, then, to the highest standards, as quickly as possible, prepares a big meal. The best wine, the best cigars, the best ......" Joe looked around sneakily and lowered his voice to a very low, very low voice: "For my colleagues, prepare a few of the best girls." ”

The corners of the two big men's mouths twitched, and they looked at Qiao with a stiff expression: "Respectful, Young Master Qiao...... The best wine, the best cigars, the best meals, no problem, absolutely no problem! But the best girl ......"

Joe puffed up his chest and muttered in annoyance, "Of course it's for my colleagues, of course I wouldn't do such a thing!" Am I like that? Am I like? Don't worry, Tifa won't know, she, definitely won't...... Aware? ”

The two big men smiled dryly, their dark faces full of confusion.

Others are easy to say, but a certain terrible person in the Wittu family once said that whoever dares to let some messy woman defile her precious brother Joe, will bear all the consequences.

Even the powerful pink mermaid did not dare to ignore the threat of that one.

Qiao glared fiercely, and patted his bulging waist bag hard: "Could it be that Young Master Qiao's gold coins can't be exchanged for the treatment it deserves?" In the port of Tulum, aren't gold coins doing whatever they want? ”

The sound of wheels rubbing against the ground came, and Joe looked back to see four dusty carriages, the wheels full of dust and the carriages dusty, apparently the four-wheeled carriage that had come from a long journey, was heading out of the acacia grove in front of him, heading towards the main entrance.

Bypassing the fountain, four carriages stopped beside Qiao and the others, and the doors of the three carriages behind them opened, and more than a dozen young men dressed in traditional tight-fitting knight clothes and swords at their waists came out.

A young man with two delicate mustaches, red hair, green eyes, a tall figure, and a rather handsome appearance looked at Joe and Billy vigilantly, frowned, walked to the first carriage, and whispered, "Miss, we have arrived." ”

The door of the first carriage opened, and two maids in long white dresses stepped down, bent down and pulled out the pedals under the carriage.

Then, Joe subconsciously whistled.

Beauty! The best beauty!! In the port of Tulum, a beauty that has never been seen before!

Wearing a gorgeous set of red court dresses, wearing a wide-brimmed hat decorated with flowers, accompanied by a charming fragrance, supported by a delicate maid, a slender and tall beauty stepped out of the carriage gracefully.

Golden, bright long hair with pure color like gold, azure eyes like the eyes of the deep sea, red lips as bright red as blood, snow-white and delicate, more delicate and white than the mutton fat jade from the ancient continent of the East, and the perfect skin that cannot see a pore under the light of the gas lamp.

There is also a natural fragrance faintly wafting, which makes people fascinated and difficult to extricate themselves.

The beauty in the red dress got out of the car, and the first thing she saw was Joe and Billy in police uniforms, just like the mustachioed youth, she also frowned, and her face twitched slightly.

Joe blinked quickly, looking up and down at this peerless beauty presumptuously.

The face of the beauty in the red dress gradually became difficult to see, the mustachioed young man coughed lightly, he took a step across, blocking between Qiao and the beauty in the red dress, with a trace of the arrogance and arrogance that Qiao was extremely familiar with, unique to the children of the nobles, and said coldly: "Third-level sergeant? Hillbilly, before I get angry, please...... Get out of the way as fast as you can! ”

Joe frowned, annoyed a little by the mustachioed youth's arrogance and rudeness.

However, relying on the advantage of height, his gaze easily crossed the head of the mustachioed youth, and Joe stared fiercely at the beauty in the red dress.

With a dry cough, Qiao quickly calculated in his heart.

If there is a conflict with this mustachioed young man at this time, not to mention that he will leave his post without permission with his subordinates, according to someone's usual logic, she will definitely think that Joe is causing trouble for the sake of women!

Thinking of the result of someone's anger, Qiao Jiling shivered.

Taking a deep look at the bearded youth, Jo stretched out his hand, equally presumptuous, extremely impudent, and poked and poked him in the chest with his thick fingers: "Welcome to the port of Tulum, this gentleman, damned country place. The free port of Tulum welcomes anyone with enough gold marks in their waists. ”

"Don't make trouble here, or you'll ......"

Joe's movements shocked the mustachioed youth, and it was clear that he had never encountered such a thing.

Joe's fingers poked several times on the mustache youth's chest, and the mustachioed youth roared angrily and reached out to grab Joe's wrist.

At this moment, suddenly, right above Joe's heads, at the location of the card house on the second floor of the pink mermaid, a dense bombardment of fire guns sounded.

A floor-to-ceiling window in the house of cards shattered with a 'boom', and a man covered in holes and blood gushing out like a fountain let out a terrible wail, fell from the second floor, and slapped in front of Joe.

Blood splattered, squirting the plasma of Joe's trouser leg and other inexplicable juices.

The beauty in the red dress who had not said a word, just looked at the movement around her, looked down at the man's distorted face, stared widened suddenly, opened the huge skirt, drew a gorgeous silver long sword, and roared in anger: "In the name of the Imperial Navy, charge!" ”

In the direction of Swordfish Street, more than 100 fierce men dressed in black, wearing short cloaks, and leather soft hats, armed with firearms, bows, and swords, passed through the rows of acacia trees, broke into the small square, and rushed towards the main gate where Joe was without saying a word.

'Boom'!

In the card house on the second floor, which had just flown out, a loud noise came, countless bricks, tiles, and furniture fragments erupted, and the pungent smell of gunpowder smoke quickly filled everyone's nostrils.

The faces of the two big men who had just flattered Qiao Quyi changed suddenly, and they let out a roar as loud as a lion on the Black Continent grassland, and then quickly flew back. The door of the pink mermaid suddenly opened, and two big men slammed into the door, and then slammed the door shut.
