Chapter 21: Physical Persuasion
When Bright woke up, it was already dawn.
The light shone through the window of the room, and he stared blankly at the ceiling with his eyes open, and collapsed on the bed like a corpse for a few moments before sitting lazily and stretching.
"It's been a long time since I've slept so comfortably."
He muttered to himself.
Every day in the Punk Hazard base is worrying, even if you sleep, you don't dare to feel at ease.
Get out of bed, get dressed, and make your bed.
It's time to go to Aaron next.
Bleitra opened the door.
Then I saw a basket outside the door, and inside the basket was neatly folded clothes.
"It's so sweet."
Bright muttered with some sighs.
It's still a childhood sweetheart.
After returning to his room and changing into a prison uniform, Bright put on the clothes that Charlie had prepared for him.
A combination of a regular T-shirt and trousers, but the size is just right, which fits Bright's tall and athletic body, and the back has been cut in advance to allow the dorsal fin to stick out.
Changing into new clothes, Bright crumpled up his prison uniform and walked downstairs.
The café was already buzzing.
The seats that had been empty last night were now full, and the merfolk and fish people had gathered.
Several mermaid girls dressed in maid costumes walked through the hall, smiling in response to the calls of the guests.
Bright looked at the mermaid girls, each of them was quite outstanding, no wonder business here was so good.
Xia Li was sitting at the back of the counter, burying her head in the eyes and seeming to settle the score.
Bright walked down the stairs and said, "Where's the trash can?" ”
Xia Li looked up, glanced at Bright, and nodded slightly, "It looks like it fits perfectly." ”
"Because you have a good eye." Bright said with a smile.
"Of course."
Xia Li lowered her head again and wrote, "Throw the garbage in the trash can in the kitchen, by the way, I left you a piece of food, eat it and then go to Aaron." ”
"Hmm."
Bright turned around and went into the kitchen, and saw a mermaid lady who was over thirty years old, with some chubby eyebrows and smiling eyes, which made people very kind.
Dressed in a crisp white chef's suit, wearing an apron and a chef's hat, he was cooking while humming a song.
Looks like the chef at this café.
"Oh! You're what Xia Li said about Brother Bright, aren't you? ”
Miss Chef smiled and turned her head to greet Bright, "I'm Miriam, the chef of this café. ”
She took the moment to pick up a plate from the side and handed it to Bright, "Charlie asked me to prepare breakfast for you." ”
The food on the plate is very hearty, and the combination of meat and vegetables is very reasonable.
Bright took it, "Thank you, Miss Miriam. ”
He didn't sit down immediately, threw his changed prison uniform into the trash, and then found an empty seat and sat down to start breakfast.
"It's delicious!"
He said in admiration.
At least it's tastier than the Fishman Street owner's delicious food.
"Thanks for the compliment."
Miriam smiled and wiped her hands on her apron, "This is the first time that Brother Bright, Xia Li let a man spend the night here, and she usually doesn't care about anyone." ”
Bright said with a smile, "Xia Li's personality is indeed relatively cold, but after getting acquainted with it, I know that she is actually very gentle. ”
"Eh~ very gentle, huh?" The cook lengthened her tone, "But I've rarely seen Xia Li be gentle with anyone." ”
Bright felt a little embarrassed and simply buried his head in the bitter endeavor.
Miriam didn't say much, just smiled and continued to cook.
After eating breakfast in three or two, Bright washed the dishes and turned out of the kitchen.
He came to the counter, "Then I'll go first." ”
"Wait a minute,"
Xia Li stopped him, raised her hand and picked up a key, "The key, you can't find it for a long time, right?" ”
Bright scratched his head, "I'll give you the new key later." ”
The doors have been ripped off, what is the use of the key?
Xia Li was stunned for a moment, then rolled her eyes and took back the key, "The work of washing dishes has already been done, but there are always people making trouble in the store, if you don't mind, the security work can be handed over to you." ”
"Then more advice, Boss Xia Li."
Bright agreed with a smile.
Next, more energy should be put into learning domineering with Brother Jinping, but the living expenses also have to earn something, otherwise the 100,000 Bailey borrowed from Brother Jinping will not be able to pay it back.
Security is security.
It's better than hanging on the wall.
"I like it,"
Xia Li nodded slightly, "Remember to keep it in the future, otherwise be careful that I will deduct your salary." ”
"That's horrible."
Bright laughed, "Anyway, see you later." ”
"Have a nice trip."
Leaving the Mermaid Cafe, Bright moved directly towards Fishman Street, and it was time to talk to Brother Aaron.
Fish-Man Island isn't that big, but it takes a while to get to Fish-Man Street from Coral Hill.
When Bright returned to Fishman Street, it was already noon, and he didn't delay and went straight to Aaron's residence.
The door of the small building was closed, and Bright could feel the large number of people gathered inside.
Although Bright's abilities did not allow him to discern the difference between the different creatures in detail, he guessed that Aaron should not have left.
Step forward and push the door.
Although the door was locked from the inside, Bright was strong enough to push the two doors open.
A loud cracking of the door lock woke up many of the fish people in the house who had fallen to the ground after a night of partying last night.
They sat up rubbing their sleepy eyes, and then they saw Bright walking in with his back to his back.
“……”
Facing the light, the fishmen squinted and finally saw Bright's appearance clearly.
"Bright? What else are you doing here? ”
A fish-man staggered to his feet and said sharply, "Brother Aaron said he didn't want to see you!" ”
"That's right," the other fish-man said mockingly, "you can go and lick the human ass with Jinping, anyway, aren't you also a miscellaneous with human blood—"
He was speechless.
Like a phantom, Bright appeared in front of him in an instant, his wide hand grabbing his mouth directly.
"One thing I've learned since I was a kid is that people who don't respect me don't deserve my respect, even if they're compatriots."
With a random flick, the fish-man flew through the walls of the house like a cannonball and flew to the outside of the house.
The fish, who were still tired from a hangover, woke up in an instant.
Bright stepped on the floor with his right foot, and the ground was trampled into a depression by him, and the whole house trembled for a while, and he said calmly, "I respect Brother Aaron very much, but it doesn't mean that you can speak disrespectfully to me." ”
That's when the fish people remembered.
Years ago, before Bright left Fishman Street, he was already known as a violent activist, and anyone who dared to insult him was subjected to his merciless violence.
And the fish people who used to be members of the Sun Pirates will not forget that even when they were in the Sun Pirates, Brett was the most irascible martial arts faction, they just secretly scolded the idiot in their hearts, and mocked two sentences of stance, and they really dared to scold Bright, isn't this looking for death?
For a moment, the fish people were silent.
"Okay, where is Brother Aaron?" Brett asked.
"I'm right here!"
Ah Long's voice sounded, he walked down the stairs on the second floor, several fishmen followed behind him, Cloobi, Xiaoba, and Jiu, all of whom were the cadres he had chosen.
Ah Long had a smile on his face, but his pupils had shrunk into a vertical line, and those who were familiar with him knew that Ah Long was already angry to the limit at this time.
"So, my good brother, why are you here to hurt my partner?"
Bright breathed a sigh of relief and said calmly, "I'm here to stop you from going to sea, Brother Aaron." ”
Ah Long was silent for a moment, and then he suddenly burst out laughing, "Scared hahaha! Hey, Kroobi! Chirp! Did you hear that? This kid said he wanted to stop Lao Tzu from going to sea! ”
"Bright, have you been brainwashed by Jinping?"
Croobi said solemnly, "Or did you really choose to be on the side of the humans?" ”
Bright said seriously, "I just, I don't want Big Brother Tiger to be disappointed. ”
The eyes of many old men of the Sun Pirates changed slightly.
"Shut up!! Brett!! ”
Aaron was even more furious in an instant, and pounced directly at Bright, "Big Brother Tiger died because of humans!" ”
"That's why we want revenge!!"
Aaron was like a sharp arrow, his muscles tensed all over, and he punched Bright at him.
Bright casually raised his hand and easily caught Aaron's fist.
Aaron's eyes changed suddenly.
"The second reason," said Bright, "is that I don't want you to die on the sea, Brother Aaron. ”
"Are you looking down on Lao Tzu!! Bastard boy!! ”
Ah Long was even more angry, and those who were regarded as his younger brother looked down on him, and he felt a great insult and struggled hard.
But Bright's hands were made of steel, and he couldn't break free.
How can this kid be so strong now?
Aaron couldn't believe it.
"With your style, Brother Aaron, I think you will be attacked by the Navy sooner or later, so I think it's better to let you stay on Fish-Man Island than to let you die outside."
With a little force, Bright lifted Aaron directly, and he was a lot taller than Aaron.
Aaron still wanted to struggle, but Brett just shook his hand hard, and Aaron's body suddenly shook like a wicker in the wind.
"Wow!"
He screamed, feeling like his whole body was going to be shaken apart, where was the strength to resist?
Bright carried Aaron upstairs, "Anyway, let's talk." ”
"Hey! Brett! What do you want to do to Aaron!! ”
Crobee and Jiu stood in the way of Bright, but they were only pushed aside by Bright with a casual flick.
The two of them had a look of horror on their faces, what was the matter with this power? They have no power to resist!
"Don't bother us, or don't blame me for being unkind."
Bright carried Aaron up to the second floor.
The fish people looked at each other.
After a long time, someone finally spoke.
"That kid, he's getting so good!!"
Big Brother Aaron was as weak as a child in front of him.
