Chapter 51: The Exchange of Hostages
Even Fisher and Horry were completely stunned, they never thought that Brown would offer such an absurd and uninhibited condition. If they were to find a way to get out of the way, it would be reasonable at least, and they thought it was impossible to make the leader of the raiding group give up his life in exchange for this woman.
Scarlett, whose mouth was gagged, also shook her head desperately to express her opinion, she knew very well what Captain Cao meant to the raiding group, to the Free Development Alliance, and to the mud snail ghostland. Head Cao is that day, that place, he is the soul of this series of organizations, and without him, all this will cease to exist. Scarlett is also a sensible woman, and she knows very well that the weight of Captain Cao's life is completely different from her life.
"Fuck you!" the twelve angry men of the raiding group drew their weapons in unison, almost trying to rush up and dismember Brown's body. They are relatively straight-headed, and they don't have to think about it at all, just thinking about the fact that their boss has become someone else's prisoner, which is enough to make this group of bloody guys hate to kill themselves. What could be more shameful to a warrior than this? They would never say yes.
"You're naΓ―ve, our captain won't go with you. Let them go and discuss a realistic solution, so that you may be able to go home and reunite with your family. If you don't know each other, we'll bury Miss Scarlett and cut you down to the ground. The head of the Leather Sect also raised his big sword again, and the black obsidian fighting spirit rose above him as if it were substantial, and it was obvious that the Sect Leader was also furious now.
The two old men were not so angry, which did not match their status. But their iron faces are enough to explain the problem, even if the current situation is terrible, but the two old men absolutely do not approve of this practice of exchanging hostages. Brown is not just wishful thinking? He is simply looking for death. Captain Cao left this team? This kind of thing would not be thought about by the two old men, even if the mountains and the earth were combined, they did not want to see this happen. In terms of personality, the two old men also think that Captain Cao is a typical tough guy. There is a heart that is tougher than steel under his tough and upright appearance, and the whole person has hardened to the bones, and he never knows what compromise is.
"Okay! No problem, exchange is exchange. But this time Captain Cao's answer made everyone's eyes almost fall to the ground, Captain Cao nodded directly without thinking about it, he jumped off Wangcai's back, and walked towards Brown with his head held high. This doesn't seem to be even a problem for Captain Cao, he would rather keep his mind to think about other things.
"No, no, no, stop, Captain Cao. Even though he was still far away, Brown hurriedly dragged Scarlett back a few steps. Brown looked at Captain Cao with a strange expression, and said, "Commander Cao, with all due respect, your eyes don't look like a person who is ready to become a prisoner at all, but a fierce beast ready to hunt, which makes me tremble from the bottom of my heart." If you've agreed to the deal between us, then all you have to do is do what I say, and we'll all be fine. β
Brown didn't make a fuss, he wasn't in contact with Captain Cao for the first time, so he didn't believe that Captain Cao was such a good person, and Captain Cao's every move was in Brown's eyes. From the depths of Captain Cao's eyes, Brown did not see the slightest frustration, but had an indescribable sense of danger, which instantly attracted Brown's attention. Watching Captain Cao walk step by step, Brown didn't feel that he was a person who was about to be captured, but as if there was a fierce beast from ancient times in front of Brown. Brown's hand holding the knife tightened, and the sharp edge of the blade had already cut through the skin on Scarlett's neck, and tiny red beads of blood suddenly overflowed, unusually dazzling.
"Okay, good, I have something to say, what do you want me to do?" Captain Cao let out a long breath again, he was indeed so angry now. He really didn't plan to be arrested just now, Captain Cao's whole body was already tense, as long as he could get close to the right distance, Captain Cao was still very confident that he would save Scarlett. Unfortunately, Brown saw through Captain Cao's plan. As soon as he saw Scarlett being threatened, Captain Cao suddenly lost his temper.
"Yes, what I want is your attitude, it's very good! Captain Cao, your skills are not ordinarily good, we still want to be on the safe side. Brown turned back to Fisher and Horry and yelled, "What are you two doing stupidly? Get that thing out, haven't you even thought about it?"
Brown didn't have any concept of superiority and superiority at this time, although these two guys were Brown's superiors, but their performance was really too far behind Brown at this moment, and they were no different from the wooden people. If the Rex Empire's powerful retainer Mitch Kupchak could see this, he would also be satisfied with his vision.
Hearing Brown's reminder, Fisher woke up and took a package from the saddle and drove his horse over. Fisher almost forgot that he still had this thing on him, and the war situation had developed to this point, and Fisher had long lost any hope of capturing Commander Cao alive, where did he think that such an abrupt turn would happen in the end? Fisher still had a little recollection until now, and he still didn't understand that the leader of the raiding group would be willing to be captured for the sake of a woman.
Fisher threw the burden in front of Captain Cao from a distance, and there was a heavy muffled sound when it landed, and a black thing fell out of the package and rolled in front of Captain Cao. It was a very strange metal utensil, but it was a round metal utensil, the size of a palm, and it was so intricately designed that it was made of rare metal. The round metal instrument was sealed on one side, and on the other side was a ring of sharp barbs, which were unusually sharp. What's even more wrong is that there is a layer of dark purple elemental light rippling on this black metal instrument, which is actually an elemental instrument.
After picking up this strange thing, after playing with it for a while, Head Cao couldn't help frowning, and said slowly: "From this thing, I sensed an ominous force, what is this thing?"
"It is worthy of being the head of Cao, and he really has a vision. Brown pretended to praise Captain Cao twice, and said, "You don't know yet, you are now a big celebrity in our Rex Empire, a household name." As you know, you have a lot of old friends in our Rex Empire, and these old friends of yours are very worried about you. In order to ensure that Captain Cao will come to our Rex Empire as a guest, they made a special trip to hand over this precious magic weapon to us. β
Hearing the word "magic weapon", the faces of Old Man Ao and Old Man Bo had become extremely ugly, and even Scarlett's eyes had a trace of worry. Elemental tools are not easy to make, so even in the human world, the number is very rare. And elemental equipment is also the same as ordinary equipment, it is also divided into three, six, nine and so on. It's like the tender armor that Captain Cao got from His Majesty Pedro, and it's not even a treasure. As for the magic weapon, which is almost inferior to the existence of the legendary artifact, its value is almost incalculable. For those rich and powerful families, they are the ones who are most happy to see this kind of thing, which will never depreciate, and its value will only rise.
"The Rothschilds?" Captain Cao noticed the fire paint pattern of a double lion holding a shield on this magic weapon, this symbol Captain Cao was not unfamiliar with at all. Obviously, this magic weapon came from the Rothschild family.
"Yes, Captain Cao, you also know how many 'close encounters' have occurred with the Rothschilds since you came to this exiled realm, and they are full of endless curiosity about you. Brown shrugged his shoulders and smiled, "But don't worry, this is just an accessory that you need to wear to show your sincerity, Captain Cao." It's called a 'hollow device' and it's just a confinement device that fits in your heart. As long as you don't act rashly, it's just an inconspicuous lump of metal. But once you make a fool of yourself and the controller is touched, it's hard to say. β
Although Brown was introducing this magic weapon lightly, everyone who heard it was moved. When you hear the name of this thing, you can see what it does by looking at the shape of this thing. That is to say, once Captain Cao really presses this thing on his heart, then his life is equivalent to being controlled in someone else's hands, as long as someone else triggers the activation device of this magic weapon, then Captain Cao will be opened in an instant, and his heart will be directly withdrawn. But no one can beat alive without a heart.
"No, you little bastard, don't even think about it, how can this kind of thing be on your body?" Old man Ao didn't know when he had approached him, and grabbed Captain Cao's hand, he was afraid that Captain Cao would do something stupid on impulse. If you want to talk about Captain Cao's biggest shortcoming, Old Man Ao has always been very clear, that is, he is too emotional. This is certainly a good thing, but in some cases, it is also a weakness of Captain Cao, such as now.
"My life is up to me. No one can control my fate. Don't worry, old man. Head Cao smiled faintly, didn't take it seriously, gently wiped the old man's hand, and said: "They just want to invite me to be a guest, if I don't even dare to accept this 'invitation', then wouldn't I be too seedless?"
"That's a good point! Captain Cao is indeed Captain Cao, and it is not tiring to communicate with a bold person like you. Then, please ask Head Cao to do it himself, and save us from further delays. Brown made a gesture of please, and straightened Scarlett's hair, and Scarlett was now shaking her head frantically as if she was out of control. Brown was scared that if the girl didn't notice that she hit her neck on the blade, she really didn't even have a amulet.
"This old Luo family, for the sake of a mountain village man in my district, I really ****** willing to give up my blood!" But if you think about it, Head Cao can also understand why the old Luo family is so old-fashioned, because of the existence of Head Cao, many of their families have gone, and it is not bad. What's more, this magic weapon is not a disposable item, they can wait until Captain Cao burps and retrieve it from Captain Cao's corpse.
After finishing speaking, Captain Cao no longer hesitated, pulled off his shirt, and directly buckled the spiked end of the hollow device on his left chest. At the moment when the spikes pierced Captain Cao's skin, those spikes began to grow like watered plants, and Captain Cao could clearly feel that a foreign object was invading his body, and then took root in his heart. The only strange thing is that this did not make Captain Cao feel unbearable pain, but he felt that his heart seemed to be held by a palm, and the source should be the ominous elemental power that Captain Cao felt.
Everyone in the raiding group was shocked when they saw this, and they prepared to rush over. However, Head Cao raised his hand and motioned for everyone not to approach. After a pause, Regiment Commander Cao also raised his voice and shouted: "All of them are here, take our loot and follow the two old men back." In my absence, all of you must follow the instructions of the two old men, and no one shall act rashly. The boss is just going to travel abroad, you don't need to worry!"
"But the boss ......" Wade's handsome guy was already in tears in an instant, as the person who had followed Cao Tuan for the longest time, seeing that there was such a mechanical breast on Cao Tuan's chest that would dig out his heart at any time, Wade felt more uncomfortable than being slashed a few times.
"Don't say more, don't you even listen to the boss's orders, spread the way for me and let them go!" Captain Cao turned his head again, stared at Brown, and said, "Now you can release people, my life is already in your hands." β
Brown smiled stupidly, and finally untied Scarlett, and Scarlett ran towards Captain Cao like crazy. Scarlett's hands grabbed Captain Cao's strange mechanical breasts, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't pull them off, but she pulled Captain Cao's skin and flesh a lot, and the pain made Captain Cao grin for a while......
