Chapter 56 Money First(1/2)
Lafayette and Jaya, who had dealt with the attackers, returned to Maud one after another.
They looked at the bodies of the three Marlet brothers lying on the street, but did not react.
From the moment Mod was offered a reward by the navy, things like this that come to the door to make trouble will only happen continuously.
Needless to say, the navy is, like bounty hunters, and even those peers who are jealous of money, they all want the head of Maud worth over 100 million.
"It's only about 300,000."
Lafayette raised a thick stack of banknotes in his hand, and the largest denomination of banknotes here was 2,000.
He chased after him and killed nineteen people, but only about 300,000 Bailey was found.
This shows how poor these attackers who tried to win the bounty of Maud were.
In fact, most pirates and bounty hunters are not rich.
They have been licking blood on the tip of a knife for many years, and they have no idea which one will come first tomorrow or accident.
In this environment, once they "make" money, they will only spend it to squander and enjoy it as soon as possible.
Of course, some pirates like to "save" their plundered treasures on remote and deserted islands, or use them to continuously strengthen their teams.
As for bounty hunters, as long as they get older, they will start saving money and waiting for retirement.
Therefore, if you want to maximize the benefits of black people eating black people, it is best to find some slightly famous pirate groups to attack.
"It's so rare, I can barely have enough to have a meal."
Maud glanced at the spoils in Lafayette's hand and shook his head slightly.
"Is it going to have a meal?"
When Bailey, who was lying on Jim's bald head, suddenly stood up.
Maud ignored Bailey, who was energetic in an instant, and turned to Betty, who was trembling and hugging Jim's thighs.
"Betty, is there a pub in the city that specializes in pirate business?"
"Yes, yes, but it's messy and dangerous."
"Then do you dare take us there?"
Maud looked at Betty, whose emotions gradually calmed down with a smile.
Betty hesitated for a moment and then focused her head.
He doesn't want to lose Maud, a high-quality customer.
"Lead the way."
Maud smiled.
When going to a tavern that specializes in pirate business, of course, it is not just for the sake of eating and drinking, but for inquiries about the pirate groups in Dick City that are suitable for starting.
Although this place is not an incapable place, it does not hinder Mode's idea of getting some money from his peers.
After everyone had just walked a long way, they saw a fully armed army coming in a mighty manner. At first glance, there were at least a hundred people.
The army was walking in a row, and the clanging sounds made by the iron armor collided, making the army exude a majestic momentum.
Seeing an army of hundreds of people coming from the front, Betty, who was leading the way in front, couldn't help but stop.
When facing the army, he was relatively calm, but he did not break the law, and he also knew the motivation for the army to come here.
"Brother Mod..."
Betty turned around and looked at Maud timidly.
Maud said nothing, and took a few steps forward, crossed Betty, blocking the army's scrutiny gaze.
The leader of the army was a middle-aged man wearing silver armor and holding a double-bladed axe.
He was examining Maud, and after a few moments, he recognized Maud's identity in an instant.
Bacardi Maud, who offers a reward of 100 million...
The middle-aged man's heart was condensed.
The number of bounty is the only criterion for these soldiers to use to judge the strength of the pirates.
And pirates with over 100 million are worthy of attention.
While the middle-aged man was examining Maud, Maud was also looking at the middle-aged man.
The strength is OK.
After judging the middle-aged man's foundation, Maud glanced at the other soldiers from the corner of his eyes.
These soldiers are not a fancy way, they are much better than the miscellaneous fish pirates they usually encounter.
With these elite soldiers here, it is no wonder that the Kingdom of Ahab dared to receive pirates.
After all, strength is the capital that can be used randomly.
Mode sighed in his heart.
Both sides looked at each other and neither spoke.
A few seconds later, a soldier in armor came to the middle-aged man and whispered: "Captain Matthew, the person who was killed is the three brothers of the bounty hunter, Marlett."
The middle-aged man called Matthew nodded when he heard this, then stared at Mod, and said with a solemn expression: "You have committed murder in the street and violated Article 9 of the Management Regulations, and should be punished as a crime."
"oh?"
Maud looked at Matthew with great interest.
He directly declared guilt without asking the reason, which shows the domineering behavior of King Ahab's team in maintaining order.
"Then what?"
Mode looked calm.
Matthew did not become weak because Mod was a big pirate who offered a reward of over 100 million yuan, and said coldly:
"You have two choices, one is to be sentenced and serve 60 days, and the other is to pay two million Baileys each."
“…”
Mode was silent when he heard this.
Lafayette Jaya and others looked surprised.
So, the existence of this kind of punishment regulations is to make money, right?
And life is worth two million Baileys?
Or, because the deceased was a bounty hunter from outside the island, the conviction was so hasty?
If this is true, it is no wonder that the so-called three Marlet brothers dare to take action on the street.
After all, compared to the high bounty, the six million Bailey exemption is really nothing.
This guess is almost close to the facts.
If the person killed is a citizen of his country, the punishment standard will be increased by more than three times.
Because the assailant was a pirate, Matthew did not intend to delve into the cause of this incident at all.
Just fine it.
Afterwards, we had to go to the residence of the three Marlet brothers to take over the [heritance] they left behind based on the information recorded in the [List Book].
In short, everything is in line with money.
This is the truth set by the great king.
"Ha ha."
After a moment, Maud laughed out loud.
The Ahabian country on Leviathan Island is quite interesting. It seems that the Kingdom of Ahab that has never met before made these rules is not ordinary people.
Country...
If you operate in this way, you can really collect money even while sitting.
Looking at Maud who was laughing out loud, the soldiers and even Matthew all looked unhappy.
Maud slowly stopped laughing, and with a clang, he pulled out the Thousand Bird.
Hurry!
The action of drawing the sword made the trained soldiers draw out their weapons as soon as possible.
Mode stood in front of him and looked at the soldiers who were on guard against the battlefield calmly.
If these soldiers who were executing the royal power spent some time asking the reason before proclaiming the crime, or were more polite, then Mode would not have drawn his sword directly.
He would be scruples about the new ship, but it does not mean that he would surrender to these soldiers.
"What if I don't choose?"
Maud's eyes were like a knife, and the soldiers flew past them.
To be continued...
