Chapter 224: Vic's Speculation
"Wendy! What are you standing there for? Go chase those people, don't let them get away." Vic reacted quickly. Wendy was a trainee recruit in the elite camp, so of course she was much faster than those people. It was still in time to chase them.
"Oh!" Wendy agreed immediately after hearing Vic's words, and ran past Rebecca and the Fourth Brother at full speed.
The fourth brother had no intention of stopping it. I don’t know whether he didn’t dare or was too lazy to stop it. He thought, it doesn’t matter if his subordinates die, right?
"That was Lan Jiao you just saw?" The fourth brother spoke only after Wendy chased out. He seemed a little unconfident after seeing what he saw just now. I don't know if he wanted to get to the bottom of things or was just making up conversation to buy time.
"Oh! Do you know him?" Vic replied indifferently. He was now holding Ian and standing in front of Xiaonan and his grandson. He was mainly afraid of the lead bullets shot from the front, but who knew that Xiaonan's shouting would scare everyone away. However, Vic still had no intention of moving.
"The Navy's Six Styles are so famous, how could I not know them? Besides, there are many people in the outside world who know them, so it's not surprising to have seen them!"
The fourth brother gradually calmed down when he saw that Vic had no intention of taking action immediately. He knew that Boss Zero must have sensed this man and must be on his way. He would not be afraid then. It was still unknown who would win, it all depended on who had the last laugh.
Vic thought about it and felt that what the fourth brother said was not wrong. The Six Styles had long been spread to the outside world by traitors in the government and the navy. There were not many people who knew it, but not too few either. After all, it was not something that required special skills, and a talented person could figure it out after reading it a few times.
This is not like the internal power in the world of martial arts. The internal power runs inside the body, and it is impossible to see which acupoints it passes through. It is difficult to learn the internal power secretly, but there don't seem to be many such skills in this world, so it is normal to be learned secretly.
"Since you know we are from the navy, why do you dare to kill us? You are quite confident! I wonder where you get the confidence from?"
Vic was indeed a little confused. Since there were people with strong Observation Haki among these people, they should have discovered the warships on the dock.
Moreover, with such a dark secret on the island, special attention should be paid to the marines who went to the island. After knowing that the marines learned the truth about the island, their first reaction was to kill them to silence them?
Aren't they afraid that the death or disappearance of a marine will attract more naval forces to investigate? If so, the island's secrets should be exposed faster, right?
Even if this country is not a member state, the World Government will not care about what they do (slave trading is a normal thing in the eyes of the World Government, and the Celestial Dragons probably have the most slaves), but the Navy Headquarters will never let go of those who killed the Navy.
Killing someone to silence them should never be the first choice. Could it be that they have a backer in the Navy Headquarters or the government? How could they easily deal with such a thing?
Vic still couldn't figure out where these gangs' confidence came from.
Moreover, when Vic used his Observation Haki to scan the palace, he discovered that the palace’s treasury contained a large amount of gold, gems, and other things, as well as a large number of general banknotes issued by the World Government.
With so much money, this country can definitely pay the Heavenly Gold to become a member of the World Government. In this way, they will have the protection of the navy, the position of the royal family will be more secure, and all the things happening on the island can be legalized.
Allowing citizens to plant devil flowers is also the country's own policy. The world government will not interfere, and other people have no right to say anything. Set up a lending institution to lend money to those who are addicted to petals to buy them, and when the time comes, they can sell them openly!
So becoming a member of the World Government is more beneficial than harmful to the royal family. Why don't they do it? Is there anything that the World Government cannot know?
This is also a strange thing. Is it really because the country is controlled by the mafia? Is the royal family responsible for all the bad things done by the mafia?
But Vic also discovered that the royal family led a very luxurious life, with plenty of food and plenty of gold and silver jewelry. Their lives were completely different from those of ordinary civilians, and it didn't seem like they were under control at all!
And if the royal family really became a puppet, then all the money in the treasury should have fallen into the hands of the gangsters. How could it appear in the treasury? This is a huge contradiction, and this is something that Vic really can't figure out now.
"I originally thought that you were just ordinary trainee recruits. Killing you would be no big deal, but I didn't expect you to be so powerful. The solution to this incident depends on who can survive to the end!"
What the fourth brother said was a bit confusing. Rebecca was completely bewildered. She looked at Vic in confusion.
Vic ignored Rebecca and became thoughtful. He thought of Zefa's actions before the warship landed on the island, and he also knew the deeper meaning of Zefa's sleep!
Vic had a smile on his face, but Rebecca was still confused, not knowing why Vic would smile in such an occasion.
The fourth brother didn't know what Vic was thinking, but he became alert, fearing that Vic would attack him if he disagreed with him.
Ian was also very happy to see Vic smiling, and she kissed Vic on the face, taking advantage of Vic's good mood. Rebecca couldn't bear to watch it, and her anger was accumulating.
"Rebecca! Kill him." Vic's smile faded and he said lightly.
Rebecca had long wanted to find someone to vent her accumulated anger on. When she heard Vic's call, she rushed towards the fourth brother in a flash.
Wendy had already knocked down several thugs in suits and was chasing the rest. Wendy didn't have a gun now, but she didn't fight with bare hands either. Two daggers were her weapons for close combat, and she had stabbed several people to death.
When the fourth brother heard Vic's words, his face changed and he immediately took a defensive posture. His feeling was indeed correct. The man was going to kill someone after laughing.
However, he was somewhat glad that it was not that man who took action himself, but the red-haired girl whom he also wanted to fight. Now he could delay time while fighting.
"Ding"
The swords clashed, and the fourth brother's advance defense worked. This time he did not resist hastily like last time, but Rebecca's strength still surprised him. Although he was not injured, his feet were plowed into the ground and were knocked several meters away.
The fourth brother looked at the angry look on Rebecca's face and was a little puzzled. Nothing happened, why was she so angry all of a sudden? Why did it feel like this anger could increase her strength?
The fourth brother lamented in his heart, "Who did I offend? Why do I have to bear this anger?"
Seeing Rebecca smiling like that, Vic shook his head. If he knew what the fourth brother was shouting in his heart, he would definitely say, "Just be happy secretly. The power is great, but it was bought with the Observation Haki. Otherwise, I would have chopped you down in a few moves!"
