Chapter 42: Human Trafficking Gang
The first guest today was a freeloader, but he was not beaten.
Because he is Uncle Goodman's son Bayer, and this is his first time to come and play after the tavern opened.
Zhang Da also poured him a glass of juice and asked him to sit in front of Tom while he went to greet other guests.
When I came back, I saw that this kid got a piece of cat food from Tom. Although Tom didn't like naughty kids very much, he still took care of this little brother and was at least willing to share the delicious food with him.
Unfortunately, Bayer was not lucky enough to enjoy it: "It tastes so bad!"
It turns out that not everyone can enjoy cat food. Tom may have both human and cat tastes, and can switch seamlessly. He can also automatically enjoy good tastes and block out bad tastes.
The reason why Altria thinks cat food tastes good may have something to do with the food culture of her hometown...
After delivering the wine and meat, Zhang Da came back and asked, "Bayer, why haven't you come to play recently?"
Baier said with a bitter face: "Because my father took me to the dock, he made me saw wood all day long. I was exhausted."
Zhang Da also laughed and said, "Ha, Uncle Goodman is serious. I thought he was just talking casually. Besides, would Sister Molly be willing to let you go?"
Bayer waved his hands like a little adult: "Hey, even though Dad usually listens to Mom, there are some things he won't change once he makes a decision."
Zhang Da also sighed: " Uncle Goodman is so amazing."
"I would have thought so too if he hadn't slept on the sofa for three days." Bayer mercilessly exposed his father's secrets.
"By the way, Brother Tatsuya, is this sister Altria very powerful?" Goodman must have told his family about the situation in the tavern, so Bayer knew Altria.
"She's even more powerful than you think." Zhang Da also pointed at the dozens of people in the tavern and whispered, "Even if all of them were added together, they wouldn't be enough for her to beat."
Baier opened his mouth into an O shape and asked, "I also heard that Brother Tatsuya is also very powerful. He beat two troublemakers with a frying pan a few days ago."
"Haha, fortunately, I also beat a fat guy with a folding stool, it was a small scene~" Zhang Da also understood Goodman's desire to brag. It was very pleasant to be looked at with admiration, even if the admirer was just a child.
But then again, fighting with frying pans, folding stools and brooms all day long, Zhang Da is also worried that one day he will become the god of furniture city war - and the kind that carries a furniture city with him.
I had nothing to do, so I told little Bayer a few stories from the "Inaccessible Science" column. They were weird and suspenseful, but also made people feel like they didn't hear anything after listening to them, but they also gave people a very powerful feeling.
The person who secretly swore that he would be a dog if he listened to it again, now comes over to listen to the story without knowing when.
After being glanced at by Zhang Da, they all said that they would buy another bottle of wine and asked him to pretend that nothing had happened.
The lunchtime business hours passed quickly. When leaving, little Bayer relayed Mrs. Molly's words, asking him to visit her home when he had time. Zhang Da naturally agreed to this kind offer.
…
After closing the door of the tavern, Zhang Da also rode a bubble car to take Altria and Tom out to buy shopping. His goal was to buy a few more bamboo swords as backup, purchase food ingredients, and see if there were any sea kings for sale.
"Tatsuya."
"Um?"
“We’re being targeted.”
Just as they were about to leave the town of 59GR, Altria warned them.
"Is it strong? How many people are there?" Zhang Da listened to Altria's calm tone and did not panic at all.
"Ten people. I can handle them quickly." Altria said, "They have been following us for a while. They may want to attack outside the town."
"Then let's keep moving forward. I really want to gain some practical experience." While ensuring that he would not be beaten to death.
Altria nodded and said, "Then I will prioritize taking out those with guns, and then try not to let others interfere with your battle."
"That's good." With Zhang Daye's current level, guns still pose a great threat to him, but he also doubts whether ordinary bullets can kill him.
After reaching the edge of the island, ten people surrounded them from both sides.
Seven of them held swords, two held rifles, and one held a bow and arrow.
“Haha…haha…” One of the men carrying a bow and arrow made a hoarse sound, “I thought it was enough to capture the intended target, but after a closer look, the other two are also high-level guys.”
The person who was speaking was over two meters tall, with skinny legs that were totally disproportionate to his tall body. His face looked very much like Suneo from Doraemon. If he didn't have webbed hands, Zhang Da would have mistaken him for a fish-man.
It seemed that he was the leader. After he finished speaking, his younger brothers followed suit and from what they called him, this man was called Pittman.
The three of them got off the bubble car, and Zhang Da also whispered: "Altria, it looks like they are human traffickers, it doesn't matter if they die."
Altria nodded. Although she was always eating and looked very cute, her achievements were all earned on the battlefield, and she would not show mercy when facing the enemy.
The most panicked person at this moment was Tom. He was already very scared when he was surrounded by four people last time, and now there were ten people around, so he was so scared that he hugged Zhang Daye's thigh tightly.
Tom has no idea of his own strength, and is easily frightened when facing humans, and always unconsciously forgets his abilities.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. Put on your swordsman outfit. These people are all weaklings." Zhang Da also tried to comfort him. At the same time, he took out a knight's sword and stared at one of them who looked weaker. Well, it's better to be cautious in the first battle.
Tom timidly took out the swordsman's suit and put it on. The rapier in his hand gave him a sense of security.
Pittman didn't notice where their clothes and weapons came from, and thought they might have been taken from the bubble car, so he advised: "It's better not to resist. If you damage important goods, we will be in trouble."
As he said this, his men slowly moved forward, weapons in hand, with smiles of victory on their faces.
When they reached the right distance, Altria took the lead, holding an invisible weapon in both hands, and passed in front of everyone like a gust of wind. Two people holding rifles fell down with blood spurting out of their chests and screaming.
The others were all shocked: "What happened? Is it someone with special abilities?"
Pittman still had the bearing of a gang leader: "Don't be afraid, she's just a person with special abilities, and her price is higher. Let's deal with her together first!"
The younger brothers calmed down and surrounded Altria. She was just a person with special abilities, and they had dealt with them before. Now they had more people and a great advantage.
Zhang Da didn't need to worry about Altria's safety. If it weren't for him practicing, these people would have probably been dead.
Zhang Da doesn't need to worry about Tom. He is just timid, not a loser. Just think of it as an exercise in courage for him.
Zhang Da also raised his sword and intercepted the target he had chosen earlier.
