Chapter 176: Eve
Step on...... Step on...... Step on......
With the sound of rhythmic footsteps, a figure appeared at the staircase in the basement.
It was Byron S. J. Gordon!
He wore a wide d'Artagnan hat with long feathers stuck in the brim, a long tuxedo trench coat with red stripes on a gray background, an open chest, a gold chain pendant around his neck that hung down to his chest, and shabby jeans and shiny pointy boots.
At this moment, he was holding a short sword in his hand, his half-squinted eyes only widened slightly after seeing Victor and the others, and his two mustaches shook and shook, venting the dissatisfaction in his master's heart: "Boss, can you inform me before you come?" I'm ready to die with the invaders! ”
"You can't be contacted for more than half a month, can you blame us!" Perona was the first to strike.
"Uh......" Byron choked on for a moment, and had to unfazedly insert the dagger back into the scabbard at his waist, walk into the basement, and snap his fingers at the back of the stairs.
Within two seconds, a series of chaotic footsteps came from far and near, and Kidd and Kira rushed to the staircase in a panic and shouted, "Great Demon King!" The Great Demon King! There was a sassy mustache who blew the harmonica a and we fell asleep...... Hey? That's him! ”
Haoxue beckoned to the two of them: "Okay, let's go back, this is a companion." ”
Kidd and Kira muttered back to the staircase to continue guarding, while Byron found a box and sat directly on it, took out a folded letter from his bosom and threw it to Victor: "This is what you want me to do, and I have done it with all my might." ”
Victor took the letter, opened it, glanced at it twice, and nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, it is really the right choice to leave this matter to you." ”
"Are you the one who has been guarding this secret base for the past two months, Mr. Byron?" Matthew asked curiously.
"It's not just me, but there are 19 bounty hunters such as 'Dice' Guffy, 'Mime' Stoker, 'South Pole' Dvaro and so on." Byron gave a rare look of seriousness: "Everyone swore to join the 'coral' to contribute, and everyone is a rare good player." Boss, I would like to use my head as a guarantee, they are all men with no bad deeds and iron courage and loyalty! ”
Victor smiled mildly and said, "I never doubted that. I am relieved that you have summoned my companions. ”
He made Byron B. J. Gordon returns to the South Seas to do two things, one of which is to recruit trustworthy bounty hunters with no major bad deeds.
The Bounty Hunters Guild will take its first steps in this South China Sea.
Victor didn't randomly choose an open sea as the starting point for the Bounty Hunters' Guild. The East China Sea is firmly controlled by the navy, and it is difficult to use its hands and feet, and the West Sea and the North Sea have other uses for themselves. Only the South Sea, the open sea that has been controlled by the Serpent King for many years, can be used by the 'Coral' and the soon-to-be-fledgling Hunter Guild to show their strength.
The premise is that the Serpent King is completely defeated by himself.
"Speaking of which, Byron, what have you been doing for most of the month?" Perona felt that this guy was not as reliable as her brother said he was.
It's okay not to mention it, but as soon as he mentioned this, Byron immediately made a bitter face, and his two mustaches drooped listlessly: "In this 'City of Yesterday' Jestedern, we have defeated more than a dozen waves of underground forces and pirates' secret invasions, and finally subsided the curiosity of those underground forces. Then, at my boss's orders, I disguised myself as a traveling merchant and took a merchant ship to visit a small group of bounty hunters. As a result, there was a storm on the way, and not only did the ship sink and people died, but I also ended up on a deserted island. ”
The shipwreck caused by the storm is one of the most feared events in the world.
Even the mighty pirates are beyond the power of nature, and only the best of the best can swim across the sea to the island after a devastating storm.
Perona gave a perfunctory 'wow' and asked without mercy, "Then how did you survive?" Found a drifting treasure chest full of food? ”
"Thanks to the boss." Byron glanced at Victor, then cleared his throat and said, "The black suitcase that the boss gave me on Fish-Man Island actually hides a mystery, and after opening the hidden zipper, there is a strange space inside, which contains enough food and fresh water for me to last for 1 month. On top of that, there are three flares inside. ”
"With these flares and supplies, I was able to hold up until a pirate ship passed by and managed to grab their attention with flares. This pirate group is called the 'Mire Pirates', and the captain of the ship is the 'Evil Swamp' Pontore Balbas with a bounty of 60 million berry. His conscience found out and rescued me on the ship, and I hid my identity and did not kill them. After handing over all the money I had to them as a 'relief money', we made it all the way to Farnucol Island in the Lay's Sea. ”
"Oh, rest assured, I hid all the 'funds' that my boss gave me in the hidden space of the black suitcase, and they didn't find out. It's all my own money, and I think the boss will definitely reimburse me, right? As he spoke, Byron smiled slightly. To be honest, it's a shame, but the reimbursement that should be fought for is still to be fought for.
Victor nodded indifferently: "As long as you are safe, I will give you enough funds to make up for it." What about that small group of bounty hunters? ”
"The name of this group is 'Cherry Pie', and the leader is the famous bounty hunter 'Instructor' Balkan in the South Seas, and the other four members are 'Sheep' Koko, 'Big Coarse Salt' Hill, 'Wine Girl' Tacna, and 'Headache Mennick', all of whom are very powerful. They formed a small group of bounty hunters a year ago to hunt down the large pirate groups that are so large in size. It wasn't easy to find them, and I ended up chatting with 'Instructor' Balkan for a few hours and finally convincing them to join Coral. But they still had a business to do, so I went back to Jesteadern. ”
"When I got back, I went straight to the entrance to the basement, only to find two stunned young men guarding the doorway like two plaster statues. I thought there was an enemy invasion, so I hypnotized them and went into the basement to prepare for the fight, and then you all knew. ”
"Anyway, thank you for your hard work." Victor nodded approvingly, "I've already seen the other bounty hunters when I came to this island, so I'm up to you." So, welcome to Coral, Byron M. J. Gordon. ”
Byron's face was no longer as frivolous as before, and he stood up solemnly, touched his chest and bowed slightly to Victor:
"Hello, Father!"
