Chapter 67: Action and Counterattack (Seeking 5-star review)
In the carriage
Gel put away the smile on his face and carefully thought about what to do next.
Gel thought that he could reveal some information about the pirates to the navy and build up mutual trust with the navy first. Maybe he would have a chance to visit Impel Down in the future. When he thought of the countless Devil Fruit users in Impel Down, Gel smiled immorally.
In addition, the list of some important future cadres of the Revolutionary Army can be handed directly to Dorag, allowing him to develop comrades in advance and help the Revolutionary Army grow rapidly. Geer is not a rich woman, but she is better than a rich woman. At least she can help Dorag avoid twenty years of detours.
Gel couldn't help but sigh that the feeling of having several relationships at the same time was really...stable!
...
Time goes back a few hours.
Whiskey town.
Just like yesterday, this morning Bia took Ajin to continue spending money around the town, trying to complete the difficult task of "spending 5 million Baileys each" assigned by Captain Gel as soon as possible.
As soon as Ajin went out, he realized that two people were following them. He did not alert them, but was cautious and waited for the other party to make the first move. Unfortunately, the two people just followed him all the way but never made a move.
Ajin guessed that the other party's mission might be just surveillance and they had no ill intentions, so he felt a little relieved. However, not long after, another group of people followed him. Unlike the former, Ajin could feel obvious malice from the two people who came later.
For money?
Seeing that Bi Ya's emotions fluctuated the most every time she took out money to pay the bill, A Jin made a judgment in his mind.
"Ajin, try this, it's sweet and delicious."
Bi Ya, who was completely unaware of the danger, bought a string of fruits similar to candied haws from a roadside stall. She happily ate two bites and found it very delicious, so she gave it to A Jin and wanted him to try it too.
Although Biya also started exercising on the ship, her talent in fighting was average and could not be compared with Ajin. She is currently still in the stage of strengthening her body and improving her physical fitness by following the ship's diet.
Seeing that Ajin was absent-minded and not listening to her, Bi Ya reached out and patted Ajin on the back.
"Ah? What's wrong? Is it not tasty?"
Ajin then turned around and answered belatedly.
"Ajin, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell? I saw you were distracted today."
"It's okay, it's okay. I was just wondering what Captain Gul and everyone else are doing right now. By the way, Bi Ya, give me your bag. I'll carry it. I'm afraid it's too heavy for you."
There were only some Baileys in her shoulder bag, and it wasn't heavy. Biya was about to refuse, but Ajin had already taken the bag and put it on his back.
"Wow! There is still so much money, how can I spend it all?"
Ajin opened his backpack and sighed loudly on purpose.
The passers-by around all looked at him eagerly. They didn't expect that there were people who were worried about having too much money to spend. They all wanted to go up and help Ajin solve his problem.
After walking for a while, they met Fate and Senior who were tasting the local specialties. Ajin lied that he had to find the toilet urgently and asked Bia to stay with them first.
Senior looked at Akin thoughtfully and asked:
"Do you want me to come with you? I know where the bathroom is?"
"No, just keep eating. I'll be back soon."
Thinking that if he was with Senior, the other party might not dare to attack, and continuing to hide in the dark was too annoying, Ajin directly rejected Senior's kindness, then ran out by himself, and his figure quickly disappeared at the end of the street.
For fear of being lost, Ajin did not run too fast. He chose small alleys with no one around and squeezed in as hard as he could. This made the two people who were following closely behind him very happy. They turned several forks in the road and finally came to a dark and narrow dead end with no one around.
There was no need for Ajin to shout "Come out, I see you", the two men following behind him had already walked out from the darkness impatiently.
"Hey, hey, are you lost? Come on, little boy, let your uncle take you out."
The person who spoke was a big and strong man with a beer belly that looked like it was about seven or eight months old. He had been chasing for several blocks and was breathing heavily when he spoke.
"Fatty! Stop talking nonsense and do it quickly. There are two mice following us!"
The person who spoke up to remind him was a tall, thin man with a severe hunchback.
"Hehe, I thought I had no chance to do it today, but I didn't expect you to come to me on your own! You're so lucky!"
"Fatty! Be careful, don't kill him. Boss Black Bull specifically wants him alive."
The hunchbacked man spoke again to remind.
"Got it! I have a brain, I don't need you to remind me of everything!"
The fat man was a little impatient, but when he thought of the money, he smiled and said:
"Hey, the boss only said he wanted someone, so why don't we just divide the money in this kid's bag later? Don't hand it over."
"Of course! I'll watch outside for you, quickly help him tie him up and take him away. We shouldn't stay here for long."
The hunchbacked man licked his lips greedily. They could hear from a long distance that there was a lot of Baileys in the bag that they could not spend!
The two men didn't take the kid in front of them seriously at all, and were already thinking about how to divide the loot before they succeeded.
Ajin didn't say anything. He silently hid a dagger in the sleeve of his right hand, lowered his head and hunched his body, looking as if he was curled up in fear.
...
"Damn it! Where did he run off to? Third brother, you go over there, and we'll split up and look for him! Send out a signal as soon as we find the target."
"Ok!"
Seeing his companion disappear from his sight after several moves, Wang Si quickly quickened his pace and ran to the other side. At this moment, he was extremely anxious.
"Please don't let anything happen! Otherwise, how am I going to explain this to Boss Tiema and the mayor?"
The two men were the ones sent by Tie Ma to secretly protect the two little devils, Ajin and Biya. They followed them for a whole day and everything went smoothly. Unexpectedly, just when they felt a little sleepy, one of the little devils ran away without them noticing.
...
"Okay, kid, just follow us and be obedient! Otherwise you will suffer in vain."
The fat man walked forward with a grim smile, holding the rope and sack in his left hand, and stretched out his right hand to grab Ajin's shoulder.
"Yeah!"
The dagger in Ajin's hand flashed across the fat man's eyes like a flash of lightning, so fast that he had no time to react.
When he felt the pain, blood had already flowed down his neck, staining the chest of his white vest scarlet.
The fat man's face was filled with horror, with blood bubbling from his mouth. He pinched his neck tightly to try to stop the bleeding, but unfortunately Ajin's knife had cut off the carotid artery with incredible precision. Not to mention that it was impossible to stop the bleeding by covering his mouth, even if the bleeding could be stopped, he would be strangled to death by himself!
"Fatty! Stop dawdling! They'll catch up with us soon!"
The fat man's stout figure completely obscured the thin Ajin. When Ajin took action, the hunchbacked man standing behind him had not noticed anything unusual at this time. He leaned against the red brick wall and urged.
Instead of getting a reply from the fat man, a strange and cold voice came to my ears.
"No need to wait for him, none of you can leave today!"
The hunchbacked man's expression froze.
