Chapter 845 Prejudice
Chapter 845 Prejudice
...
"Oh! It's the vegetable store owner's brother."
After seeing who was coming, Kara exclaimed.
"Hey, Kara, where are you going with this shady guy?"
The soldier asked seriously with a straight face.
"Um...Brother Aaron, I...I want to sign up to work in Golden City. He said the starting salary is 1 Baileys a day...and the monthly salary is one million. The work is simple and easy...no experience is required..."
Kara became less and less confident as she spoke, and her voice became as thin as a mosquito's.
"Working in Golden City? A daily salary of 10,000?"
Aaron couldn't help but narrow his eyes when he heard that, and turned to look at Captain Gill who was still grinning beside him.
"Hey, Kara! Although the security in Shampoo has improved a lot in recent years, you grew up on the island. Have you forgotten how frequent kidnapping and trafficking incidents were on the island in the past?"
"Ah, this... I..."
"Mmmm! No need to be so strict, big brother!"
As he was talking, another long-haired man in a navy uniform walked over with a casual pace.
"Ah, he's the vegetable store owner's younger brother..."
"Snapped!"
"Hey! What brother? Call me Brother Jer! You rude girl!"
Jer slapped Kara on the back of the head.
"Ah! It hurts! Damn it!"
Kara rubbed her head in pain.
"Hehehe, although my eldest brother usually speaks in a rigid manner and doesn't know how to adapt..."
"Hey! Hey!"
Aaron protested, but Jer ignored him and continued talking while putting his arm around Kara's shoulder.
"But unfortunately, big brother is right this time. Be careful not to be deceived, Kara~!"
"Ah... Is such a good job really a scam?"
After being reminded by the two neighbor brothers, Kara slowly woke up from her dazed state, but what followed was the loss of a shattered dream.
"Hahaha, isn't this obvious? Don't worry too much. If there really is such a good job, I would also like to go there! Right, brother? Do you think we two brothers can do it?"
Jel turned to Ger, winked and asked with a smile.
"Wow! Are you trying to meddle in other people's business, Marine? Be careful or I'll report you to your Marshal!"
Ger joked.
"Complaint? Protecting civilians is our navy's duty!"
Aaron straightened the seagull military cap on his head and spoke seriously.
"You're quite capable, Marine!"
Gel took off his sunglasses and looked at the two men. After all, everyone in this world is face-blind, and the photo of himself on the wanted poster was an image of a combined and broken arm, so he would definitely not be recognized.
"Haha, have you ever heard of the saying that to destroy someone's financial resources is like killing their parents?"
Geer pretended to be fierce.
"Oh my! Are you completely done pretending? You really want to kidnap our cute little Kara!"
Jair shouted.
"Brother! Get ready! Get ready!"
"Okay! I understand. Protect Kara and call for support at any time."
Aaron clenched his fists, took two steps forward and spoke seriously.
"Even though your plot was exposed, you remained calm and showed no intention of running away. It seems that you are very confident in your own abilities!"
"No, no, no, there is no conspiracy. I just act from the heart!"
Gel spread his hands and said calmly.
"You don't need to use any tricks on a little girl. Don't get me wrong. What I mean is that you are cutting off her source of income."
"Don't you still want to give up?"
Aaron was ready for battle, and Jair quickly protected Kara behind him. The two brothers cooperated well.
"Forget it. I'm not very good at fighting, so I won't beat you up."
Ger waved his hand.
"Huh?! You're so arrogant, you bastard! You really look down on others!"
Jer looked unconvinced.
Aaron frowned, feeling as if he had encountered this tone and unique way of speaking somewhere before.
"Is he really a liar? Even though he's a strange person, I don't know why I always feel like he's not a bad person..."
"Idiot, can you rely on your feelings for this kind of thing? You've been sold like this and you still want to help them count the money!"
Kara poked her head out from behind Jer and was immediately pushed back.
"Hehe, although it sounds unbelievable, everything I said to you is true, Miss Kara."
"what?"
Captain Gir instantly became the most affectionate person on the Grand Line, which stunned the brothers Aaron and Jer. Those who didn't know would have thought that they were breaking up a pair of lovers.
"Damn it, this guy! Can he be a good person?"
"Hey Kara! Don't be fooled by him!"
"Ugh!"
Ger shook his head helplessly.
"The prejudice in people's hearts is really like a mountain. No matter how hard I try, I can't move it!"
"Whatever, a young, handsome, and wealthy guy like me is destined to be hard to be seen as a good person. No matter how much I explain, it will seem pale and powerless."
After a lot of nonsense, Gel began to rummage through his torn pockets.
"Huh? Where's it? My little card."
"Have it!"
"Hmm? No, this is the permanent VIP of the foot massage shop..."
"Ah! Found it!"
After searching for a long time, Gel finally took out a small golden card. He picked up a pen and quickly wrote and drew on it, then threw the card at Kara like a dart!
"Give it to you!"
"Whoosh~!"
Jer grabbed the "hidden weapon" that was attacking him and showed a puzzled expression.
"Huh? What is this?"
"Ah! What is this?"
Kara recognized at a glance that it was the thing she had always dreamed of. She hurriedly snatched it from Jer's hand and examined it carefully.
"Ahhhh!"
The sudden scream startled the two brothers, and they hurriedly turned back to check the situation.
"Hey! What happened Kara!"
"Are you OK!"
"Here! This is a concert ticket for Golden City!"
Kara held the small gold card in both hands. Even though it didn't weigh much, she couldn't help shaking.
"Hey, hey, hey! You're fine, don't yell all of a sudden! You almost scared me to death..."
Jer rolled his eyes, but before he could finish his sentence he heard Kara continue speaking excitedly.
"This... this is the front row ticket worth 20 million Baileys! Super... super VIP ticket!!"
"What? Twenty...twenty million Baileys?"
The two brothers shouted louder than Kara.
"Damn, he's serious!"
Jer's eyes had turned into two glowing Bailey symbols, and Aaron was muttering in a low voice.
"What a waste! How many vegetables do we need to sell to earn 20 million Baileys?!"
"Uh...Uh, can you really give it to me? Why...why?"
Kara's face was flushed and she was so excited that she couldn't speak clearly.
"Hahaha!"
Gel laughed, turned around, quickly put on an unfathomable look, and said lightly.
"No reason! I just want to tell you that ordinary people can also have dreams!"
“…Maybe one day it will come true!”
For a moment, the breeze seemed to be still, the leaves stopped swaying, and the surroundings became extremely quiet.
The three of them were stunned for a moment, and then they all showed expressions of disbelief.
"Ahahahaha, I saw from the beginning that you are definitely a good person!"
Jer was the first to come to his senses. He rubbed his hands and smiled.
"My eldest brother is too rigid and doesn't know how to adapt! What he said just now was very offensive. I hope you don't mind."
"Hey! You..."
Aaron was about to speak when Jer pushed him away without saying a word.
"Well... then... Actually, we two brothers are also the ultimate fans of Soul King and Soul Diva! We also love concerts and so on! Do you think it is possible to..."
"No."
Only two words echoed in the air, and Gel's figure disappeared with a whoosh.
