Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Enemy? Collaborator?
Hades followed the direction he pointed. Immediately immersed in the aftermath of dating, he was pulled back to reality by what he saw in front of him.
I saw that it was a group of familiar mafia members, wearing suits and leather shoes, top hats, and muskets, and unlike the previous times, this time the people were not wearing all black suits, but also interspersed with some mafia members in gray suits, and according to their positions, the gray mafia seemed to be a higher level of personnel.
Hades couldn't help frowning when he saw this, he had said that the matter on Coniel Island was over, but now it seemed that he had forgotten about them.
'Gang' Capone!
These guys!
The leader of the other party is still the old acquaintance 'Strange Gun' Werther.
He hooked his strange long tongue and looked at the ship with a grin, a look of surprise flashed on his face, obviously he didn't expect Hades to appear directly on the deck, and what he didn't expect was that his appearance and appearance seemed to have grown up a lot in the time he hadn't seen him in the afternoon.
After seeing Hades, Werther followed his gaze behind him, as if looking for Robin, but unfortunately he didn't find him.
With a "click", Hades jumped from the stern of the boat and landed heavily on the ground.
Witt immediately greeted him, "It's really surprising, I didn't expect that the two of them not only avoided the vice admiral, but also seemed to have something very interesting happening to them." ”
Hades's attitude towards Werther has long since changed from the original bland to extremely resistant.
Regardless of the image of the [Flame Tank Pirates] in the comics, in his eyes, this is a group of poisonous snakes that put all interests first and have terrible thoughts, if they are targeted and bitten coldly, the consequences will definitely be extraordinary.
"What's the matter?" Haas asked straight to the point, his tone was cold, and there was a faint smell of gunpowder.
"Of course, didn't we talk about it before? Cooperate! ”
Witte raised his big hands, unconcerned about Hades' estrangement, and said with a radiant look.
"You managed to survive from the Vice Admiral's men, and the Godfather admires you very much, and thinks he is not wrong, so he will come over himself later and give a big deal to your captain."
"Thanks, but we don't need it." Hades unceremoniously rejected Werther, he didn't come up and clean up these people with punches and kicks, it was already enough to save face.
"Don't be so hasty to refuse, you're not your captain, how do you know what she thinks?"
When Witt heard the words of refusal, he spun around as if he hadn't heard them.
"Captain? Haha, do you think she's going to work with a bunch of people who just hurt her? Hades pointed out what they had told Robin to the Navy.
"It was just a small accident, and how can we be sure that you really have the strength to cooperate with us if we don't do this?"
Werther spread his hands to show his helplessness, and then continued, "But our 'bandits' have also helped you a lot, haven't we?" At least by informing you of the arrival of the navy, and by helping you intercept the warships and delay their arrival at the port, it is clear that there is no such thing as a permanent enemy. ”
When Hades heard this, he didn't bother to make more contact with these people, and instead of bothering with words, he returned to the ship alone, and only regarded them as air.
On the other hand, if the mafia brothers brought by Witt before, seeing Hades's arrogant and blind attitude, I am afraid that they would have been so angry that they would have drawn their guns and fought dryly, but this time it was different, these gray-clothed mafia members were all able to endure their temperament, and without Werther's order, they stood motionless with guns at their sides, like static sculptures, comparable to the well-trained family guards on the Sagerson battleship.
Witt didn't seem to care about Hades' opinion, and continued to guard the dock near the Hades, as if waiting for Robin's return and their godfather to arrive.
Another hour passed.
As twilight falls, starlight dots the sky, reflecting on the dark blue sea, shimmering with countless dazzling lights.
Robin returned from shopping for books in town, and when he saw the crowd standing on the docks, he immediately frowned, and then bypassed them and boarded the ship back to the Hades.
"What's wrong? What's going on, those people ......" Robin glanced at the 'gang' with a strange expression, and then asked Hades, who had come back earlier.
"I'm here to talk about cooperation again."
"Cooperation?" Robin muttered quietly, "The munitions? ”
"It must have something to do with them, but from what they said last time, they want more than that, I'm afraid they want us to do something for them." Although Hades refused decisively, because he was still on the island of Koniel, he still needed to stay under the noses of these people for three days, so he had to recall what they had said and think about their true intentions.
"And what do you think?"
After Robin put away the things he bought in town, he actually had an idea in his mind, but he didn't forget to communicate with Hades.
"I ......" Hades suddenly narrowed his eyes, and a trace of involuntary evil flashed from the bottom of his eyes, "Did you let them see you when you just came back?" ”
"Hmm." Robin nodded.
"Then they ...... when they see you now?"
"I'm surprised, but I guess it's because I saw you first, so it quickly returned to normal, I'm afraid I guessed something." Robin has actually been paying attention to Werther and the others.
"Whew! ——! ”
Hades took a deep breath, "If it's convenient, you really should kill people, after all, these people are the only people who know your identity except for Sigrid and them." ”
Hades didn't turn on the [Evil Form] when he said this, but he still exuded a faint chill on his body.
Robin took his hand, black eyes staring at his face.
"Don't worry, since I said it, it proves that I don't want to implement it, after all, the 'Strange Gun' Werther alone is not easy to deal with, we need someone to contain him, and I believe that there must be someone like him in the 'Gang', or even more than one."
Hades is still very calm, it is normal to be hostile to the people who have put him and Robin in trouble, but reason tells him that even if they can wipe out the 'gangs' in the port now, they are not capable of chasing them down on the island, due to the limitation of his movement distance, as long as they can't uproot the 'gang', they will always be a threat, and when the time comes, they will even be restricted by Robin's identity, and the gains will outweigh the losses.
Hades remembered this feeling of grievance, he is a person who holds grudges, and there is no way to take the 'gang' now, which does not mean that the future will be the same.
Let's wait and see.
