Chapter Seventy-Seven: Landing on the Island for Inspection
"50,000, 100,000, 200,000, 500,000, 1,000,000 berry."
Robin counted the different price tiers.
"I've seen these five so far, but there are still some people who stopped the mafia who checked it, and instead of letting them into the cabin to see it, they just stuffed a sum of money into their arms."
Robin also cares about these details when she peeps, because she feels that the more small things like this, the more they reflect the unique culture of the island.
"Captain, that's because those people have cats in their cabins, and they don't dare to let this group of mafias investigate, so it's better to directly give a high price and save the process of inspection, which is a common practice of many merchant ships with unclean backgrounds." Silva explained.
As he said that, a ship in front of the Hades had finished its inspection and sailed into the harbor, and it was their turn next.
Hades stood on the deck, leaning against the guardrail behind him, waiting for someone to come.
I saw two people coming up from the rope ladder, one was skinny and bone-like, with a face like a monkey, and a knife in his hand, playing happily.
One was stronger, but one-armed, with the sleeve of his right hand swinging in the wind, and followed the thin monkey onto the deck of the Hades.
The leading skinny monkey has been in charge of the docks for many years in the Strauss family, and is an experienced old fritter, walking around at the Hades furnishings, kicking left and touching right, as if he were visiting his new home.
Suddenly, he rubbed the dagger in his hand against the wooden wall of the ship, and the sound of metal clashing sounded with a "bang", which startled him.
Then a ray of essence flashed in his eyes, and he scolded and commented, "What kind of wood is this, I have watched the ship for so many years, and I have never seen such a hard guy." ”
After that, he stopped juggling, but really slashed at the wooden wall.
Backed by the Strauss family, he had always been presumptuous, never thinking about the consequences, and no one would ever compete with him.
"Poof", this time he recklessly tried his strength to finally successfully insert the knife into the wood, but it was only about half a centimeter deep, and if he stabbed it forward, no matter how much strength he used to eat milk, he couldn't poke it in.
"Come and do me a favor!"
The thin monkey called out to the people behind him, but before anyone could come, he only heard a "click" because of the unsteady force in his own hand, and the dagger that had been playing in his hand for a long time was actually broken on the wooden wall.
"Bastard!"
The thin monkey cursed and kicked the wall twice to vent his anger, but the wall seemed to stand still.
Just as he was getting angry, the one-armed man behind him stopped him.
"Don't fight with a piece of wood, look over there!"
"What?" The thin monkey turned his head impatiently, and in the direction of the one-arm pointer, he saw a young man dressed as a nobleman looking him up and down with playful eyes, and next to him, there was another person talking to him endlessly, and from time to time he pointed to the two of them here.
"What's wrong?" The skinny monkey didn't understand the one-armed's intentions.
"Isn't that the little man who is following Boss Hafort?" One-Arm finally spoke.
“...... You mean...... Silva? ”
The two Skinny Monkeys obviously knew Silva, and after being reminded by one arm, they looked at it from an angle where they could see Silva's face clearly for a while, and immediately recognized him.
"Bastard, it's really this kid!"
The thin monkey threw the severed dagger at Silva, the hilt of the knife hitting him right on the head, and Silva turned back in pain.
"Hey, Silva, why don't you say hello when you see us? What about Boss Häforger? Didn't you follow him all the time? ”
The thin monkey asked, his tone as if he were talking to a younger brother.
Until now, Silva had told him about his position in the Strauss family, his experience, and what he had to do.
Speaking of this guy's life is really ups and downs, not listening to his past experiences, just talking about his affairs in the Strauss family, it is enough to write a novel with a full plot with lows and highs.
As Hades thought, although Silva was not taken seriously in the mafia because of his short stature and thin body, he was still discovered by the Haforg guy and has been deliberately cultivated to do something that requires brains.
There is no way, in this gray area where you can speak with your fists when you don't agree with each other, it is already very gratifying to have a few people with brains, so Silva, who has been reused, has been transformed into a high-level cadre from a low-level person, and he is also one of the most famous people in the Strauss family.
It's a pity that Silva's personal strength is too weak, and because he was promoted too quickly, many people are dissatisfied with his status, such as the thin monkey in front of him.
Silva was inexplicably hit on the head, and immediately turned his head in annoyance to look, and sure enough, it was the thin monkey who made the ghost.
was about to say something, but because of the change in the expression on his face, he was clearly seen by the thin monkey.
Obviously smiling at the aristocratic imp who came from nowhere, when he turned his head to look at himself, it was like eating for a moment, where could the thin monkey endure it?
"Hey? It's against you! For more than half a month, he has been by the side of Boss Hafort, and he really thinks of himself as the boss? ”
The skinny monkey has long looked at Silva unpleasantly, in the past, he was by the side of Boss Hayforg, and he never had a chance to use this kid's hand, but now he is meeting him alone, and he has no excuse to find a reason to beat him.
In the underworld, there are not so many reasons for beating people.
I saw that he made a preemptive strike, and rushed up to knock Silvaliso to the ground.
Isn't it just flattery and flattery?
In a few months, the little minions climbed on his head, and if he didn't have a long memory, he really didn't know who in the Strauss family had the final say!
The skinny monkey kicked Silva hard and then couldn't get enough of it, so he went up and made up for it twice, and then looked down at Silva lying on the ground as a victor.
To be honest, Silva also knew that the thin monkey didn't like him, not only him, but I'm afraid that there were many people in the entire Strauss family who didn't like him.
Therefore, although Silva was promoted to the status by Haforger, he has always been a low-key person, and he is called big brother when he sees everyone, only this time, he may have been by the boss's side for a long time, and he has almost forgotten to put on that disguised mask.
After being beaten by the skinny monkey at this time, Silva recognized the reality, changed into a flattering smile and was about to get up.
Suddenly, the moment he got up, he felt a fist wind coming to him, and he secretly said in his heart that it was not good, I am afraid that the thin monkey's feet have not been vented clean, and he will give him a set of punches and feet.
Just as he was about to close his eyes and be beaten honestly, suddenly the punch stopped.
Silva didn't feel the pain in his face, and opened his eyes in surprise, only to see that Hades, who was still leaning on the railing to watch the play, had appeared between the two of them at some point, and pinched the wrist of the skinny monkey with his hand.
