"Oh my God, boss, you're so serious, we thought it was going to happen. Looks like they're okay this time. A robber said to Harlot in disappointment.

"No," Harlot shook his head, "It's definitely not going to be that simple this time." ”

"How do you know?"

"Because my talent for stealing a life under any circumstances tells me so. Harlot's eyes squinted.

"Boss, this talent is not worth boasting about..."

"Mr. Raymond, do you still want to think about things just by losing money, like you did last time?" asked Charlotte with an angry look on her face.

Raymond turned his head and said in surprise: "Oh, you misunderstood, I just wanted to ask him if there was any last wish in the end." ”

"What?" Charlotte and the robber were stunned at the same time.

"If anyone dares to make trouble next time, I will never spare it. That's what I said last time, right?" Raymond turned around.

"Yes..."

"Well, don't think I'm joking. Raymond smiled at the stunned bandit.

Suddenly, Harlott seemed to understand something, and shouted desperately, "Boss Raymond, please spare his life..."

Before he could finish speaking, he heard a bang, and Raymond drew his sword from its sheath, and struck it at the robber's throat like lightning.

The robber's eyes widened, he clutched his neck, a gurgling sound came out of his throat, and blood spilled from his mouth. It seems that by this time, he still didn't understand how he could be stabbed.

Raymond killed people on the street without warning, and everyone in the audience was stunned for a moment, and then they reacted, and for a while the screams were everywhere, and the scene was chaotic.

Charlotte was also stunned: "You... Why are you doing this?"

"Don't you want me to give you an explanation? Raymond shook the blood on his sword unconcernedly, as if he had done a trivial thing that was not worth talking about.

"But... But you don't need to kill. Charlotte still couldn't believe it.

Raymond said, "I didn't kill him because he hurt someone, but because he took my last words as wind in his ears." My gang of men are all lawless, and if they want to understand the rules, no one will listen if they are not strict. Otherwise, no one will be able to cure them in the future. ”

"You don't want this to happen every day in Beddington, do you?"

"Then why didn't you teach them a lesson last time?" Charlotte couldn't help but say.

Raymond shrugged: "As I said, these guys followed me across the ocean to this strange continent, and they have the right to debauchery for once." ”

"But I also said that there can't be a second time, and I will do what I say. ”

Speaking of this, Raymond glanced at the three of Lambert intentionally or unintentionally, and the latter immediately broke out in a cold sweat. Because they also remembered Raymond's bland "there is no next time" during the negotiations at the city hall.

At this time, Raymond raised his voice and said to the surrounding residents: "I am here to promise you that I will definitely drive out the robbers outside the town and restore the prosperity of Headington. This time, too, we did it. ”

The chatter around calmed down, and all the residents had different expressions, reminiscing about what Raymond had just said. But whether disdainful, appreciative, or opposed, no one would think he was joking.

Because, the corpse on the ground that was not yet cold proved the weight of Raymond's words.

"I gave you a chance last time, but unfortunately no one seems to think I'm serious. Raymond turned to the other frightened robbers and said, "And now?"

The men didn't say anything, just nodded desperately.

"Good. Raymond smiled and turned to leave.

"Lutz, gather everyone, and now these guys are at your disposal. ”

Obviously, Raymond made an example of the monkey to great effect. When all the robbers were gathered and stood in front of him, they did not dare to come out.

Of course, this is also due to the fact that when they were in Kaveh Ling, Raymond and Luz's toughness left a deep impression on the hearts of the bandits. In the past, the reason why the thieves were not afraid was that although Raymond could do it, he would not do it, but now that they know, Raymond can not only say it, but also do it even more, so who dares to joke with his life?

Otherwise, Raymond doesn't have that strength, and these brave and ruthless guys would have rebelled a long time ago.

At this time, Freddie was saying in place of Raymond, "... In short, everyone will have to abide by these disciplines that we have set in the future, and those who violate them will be severely punished. ”

Taking the opportunity of killing people, Raymond summoned a group of bandits to announce the military discipline he had asked Luz to draw up a long time ago, and officially began to militarize the management of these bandits.

These military disciplines laid down a series of rules and taboos, one of which was that there should never be any mention of anything in Modina.

As soon as Freddy's words were finished, the group of thieves below immediately let out a sigh. For them, who are accustomed to being free and loose, it is even more uncomfortable to suddenly have to abide by so many terms and conditions than to kill them.

At this time, Freddy added, "These treaties are not meant to torment you, but to make you understand that this is not the time for the bandits. Since you have chosen to follow Lord Raymond, you must follow the rules here. ”

"Why, why, we didn't sell it to him. At this time, one of the robbers plucked up his courage and said, "It's a big deal, I can't do it anymore?"

"yes, yes, it's a big deal, let's go. Others followed.

"Okay. Freddie smiled gloomily: "Then return the money." ”

"Money, what money?" the thieves looked at each other.

At this time, Rickett walked up and looked at an account book with an expressionless face: "Lord Raymond has saved you several times, so let's not talk about it for the time being." We'll settle the economic score. ”

"From the time you left Plzak to Port Vio, all your food and lodging expenses along the way were paid by Lord Raymond; and then you rented the Cangyun to come to the mainland of Veronica, and all your food and lodging expenses, as well as the shipping fare, were all paid by Lord Raymond; after arriving at Headington, your food and lodging expenses here were still paid by Lord Raymond; and there were two troubles, and Lord Raymond compensated for the money..."

"Wait, and we're not involved in the trouble. One of the robbers said hurriedly.

Rikkett nodded, "I know, I'll count those guys alone." ”

The robbers who had participated in the disturbance immediately looked desolate.

Afterwards, Rickett said: "In short, the various expenses are divided, and the money that each of you owes to Lord Raymond is a total of 1,485 Veronica gold coins, and some people are a little more. If you want to leave, just take out this money, and we will let you go. ”

This time all the thieves were in an uproar, they were all poor, and they fled for their lives when they ran away with Raymond, not to mention more than 1,000 gold coins, even if there were 10, it would be difficult to take them out. Raymond paid for food and accommodation along the way, and who thought about this problem?

At this time, Rickett took it out and said it, and he couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

"It's so finely calculated, this... Isn't that outrageous?" said one of the robbers.

Freddie smiled coldly: "When I first ran for my life, I followed Lord Raymond one by one, and I didn't see anyone mention money, so it seemed that they were all taken for granted. At this time, when you get to a safe place, you don't recognize anything, pat your ass and want to leave, who is shameless?"

As soon as these words came out, the thieves immediately lost their words.

"Then, if you still want to leave, you can use Lord Raymond's monthly salary to pay off the money gradually, and of course, we will calculate the interest. Rickett shook the account book: "And those who are willing to join Lord Raymond's command, this money can be written off." ”

Freddie then added: "If you plan to pay the bills on salary, it won't take long, just 10 years. Also, don't blame me for not reminding you that once you take Lord Raymond's money, you must obey the discipline we have set and don't be delusional. ”

Although Rickett and Freddie don't like each other, they are singing together at the moment, like the underworld that sings red and white faces to collect money, but they bluffed the group of real bastards below.

In fact, Raymond's move seems to be a scoundrel and stingy, but you must know that at the beginning, Raymond would bring a group of thieves to the Veronica continent, and he had the intention of accepting them as his subordinates, instead of first being kind to help others, and then scheming, so there is no problem of backtracking.

Besides, these guys are all scoundrels, and it is useless to talk to them about morality, and it will take some extraordinary means to cure them well, just like now.

"Alright, who wants to leave now?" Freddie swept over the bandits' heads with a gloomy gaze.

No one dared to meet his gaze.

"Yes, don't forget that it's all up to Boss Raymond that we can get here safely, and we can't be too unrighteous!"

"Rest assured, Lord, that the brethren will all follow you, without complaint. ”

Speaking of this, he rubbed his hands together with a smile and said, "So, about the money I owe you..."

"I'll keep your account in the first place, and I'll cut you down if there's a problem. Raymond said indifferently.

"Huh!?" Harlott was immediately deflated by a slap on the horse's leg.

Raymond added: "From today onwards, you must completely abandon everything in the past. Now you will form the 'escort' of our caravan, and you will carry out activities under this name in the future. ”

"Rutz will be your captain, and Harlot will be the vice-captain. ”

Anyway, it's come to this point, and it doesn't matter what the escort team is, so the thieves don't say a word, which can be regarded as acquiescence.

Knowing that these guys can't turn around in their hearts now, Raymond doesn't care. He followed: "Then, if no one has any objections, from tomorrow onwards, everyone will be trained by Lutz." ”

"Alright, everyone can go. ”

With that, Raymond stood up and was about to leave. After walking a few steps, he suddenly turned his head again: "Let me ask you one last thing, who really wants to go back to be a robber now? Is this the life you yearn for?"

Indeed, after all these quiet and comfortable lives, who would really be so cheap as to go back to be a robber? Therefore, when they heard Raymond's words, all the thieves were silent.

"Good. Raymond nodded with satisfaction: "Then I am here to make a promise to you, three years later, whoever follows me, you will never regret today's decision." ”

"Again, I do what I say. ”

In the days that followed, the robbers began to be trained by Lutz, and from their camp, they could often hear all kinds of screams, even in the middle of the night, and a new rumor could not help but be stirred up in Headington...

After a few more days, the Cangyun, which carried the expectations of the entire Headington, finally returned as scheduled.

The deal went smoothly, and Reed fulfilled his promise by buying all the goods that had been shipped and providing a batch of medicines, spices, and raw materials that Headington urgently needed.

When the Cangyun docked at the dock and boxes of cargo were carried off the ship, almost all the residents who rushed there let out cheers. For the long-decayed Headington, they really needed this booster.

At the same time, there was another person who arrived with the Cangyun.

"This is Mr. Reed's representative, Mr. Javier. ”

In the reception room of the Town Hall of Headington, Drey introduced the crowd.

This is a man in his 50s, with an ordinary appearance and a little chubby. He always had a smiling expression on his face, and he looked quite honest, but his small eyes were shimmering, with the shrewdness and cunning that a businessman shared.

When Dereya suggested to Reed that Headington wanted to establish trade relations with him, Reed did not answer immediately, but sent the man.

Charlotte and the others immediately stood up in fear: "Mr. Javier, on behalf of Headington, I would like to extend my most sincere welcome to you. ”

Compared with the doubts when I first met Raymond and others, this treatment is really far away.

But it is no wonder that they, with Reed's status among merchants, believe that his representative will only receive a more pompous welcome in any city than this, let alone Headington, who is looking forward to Reed like a long drought.

In contrast, Raymond's party, who came from an unknown source and did not look like a group of businessmen at all, was really unattractive.

"Upon receipt of your letter, His Excellency Reed has expressed his deep sympathy for your misfortune. Unfortunately, due to some unavoidable reasons, I can't help in person, so please forgive me. Javier said sincerely.

"Whereever, Mistress Reed can send you, we're already grateful. Morini hurriedly said.

At this time, Javier turned to Raymond and said with a smile: "Hehe, Lord Raymond, fortunately." Your Excellency Reed has mentioned you many times, and this time I was finally able to meet. ”

Not to mention whether Reed really has time to talk about Raymond, who has only met once, Javier's attitude is worthy of appreciation, showing the true colors of the old spicy businessman.

Raymond's performance was naturally not as exaggerated as Charlotte's, and he smiled: "Thank you for your concern, and I would like to thank him for introducing me to Hydington, otherwise we wouldn't know where to float now." ”

Javier let out a burst of laughter, "You are so modest, and Your Excellency Reed has great expectations for you. ”

"Do you expect me to muddy the waters here for him?" Raymond said to himself, but he didn't have anything to complain about, thinking that his purpose was not pure.

Javier said to Charlotte, "I don't know if you guys are still getting along?"

As soon as these words came out, Charlotte's side all showed a little embarrassment, because they almost thought about what had happened in this short period of time.

In every way, it doesn't seem pleasant...
