Chapter 438 Who Bullied Uncle Long?
There are many rumors about the Amber Tour Group. Some people only pay attention to some of them, such as that they obtained the treasure of the golden pirate Wu Nan, and that Zhang Da once beat people with a pure gold folding stool.
All these illustrate the wealth of this small group of only a dozen people. Even if these rumors are false, it doesn't matter. The large-scale cleanup of the illegal area a few days ago is definitely true. The bounty for all the wanted criminals in the entire illegal area is an astronomical figure no matter how you think about it.
In the eyes of some bounty hunters, the lawless areas are their treasure troves, and those bounty hunters are their future property. Although it takes a lot of risk to get those properties, it is very uncomfortable to watch others take them away. Especially this "other person" they can't beat.
Since there is no way to deal with the Amber Tour Group, then find another way out, or look for those who have slipped through the net and wait for new bounty criminals. There is always a way to survive.
But some people are not so content. They think that the Amber Travel Group has stolen the bounty that originally belonged to them and cut off their source of income, and then they try to find a way to get back what belongs to them.
The people gathered together now had this idea in mind, and they had developed the habit of doing morning exercises at a fixed time every day. To outsiders, it looked like they were imitating the Amber Tour Group. But in fact, it was to meet the Amber Tour Group by chance in a reasonable way, so as to observe and understand them.
Zhang Daye had met almost all of these people, and even chatted with them while running. One of the young men even got a stitch in the side because he was talking to Zhang Daye while running.
Such behavior did not arouse any suspicion at all. Whether they were fans or admirers, their behavior did not seem strange to everyone. Isn't it normal to imitate the training of the Amber Travel Group to try to become stronger?
And today, their hard work paid off, and they finally got the chance to see Jackie Chan alone.
According to their research, apart from a few pets, the easiest people for the Amber Tour Group to deal with are the little girls.
Although the little girls all have special abilities, they are still children after all. They can be deceived and abducted, and are much easier to deal with than other people. It's a pity that they are never alone. Even when they go out they are always accompanied by adults, so there is really no chance to take action.
There was no other way, so they had to target Jackie Chan and Ye Yan, who had lower combat power.
Zhang Da has also made a name for himself in Shampoo with just a folding stool and a street lamp. The weakest members of the tavern are gone, and only the ordinary-looking Jackie Chan and Ye Yan are left.
Seeing Jackie Chan separate from the others and walk towards the street full of shops, the bounty hunters gritted their teeth and continued for a distance to make sure that everyone else had returned to the tavern and was no longer paying attention to them. Only then did they stop and begin to gather people.
The leader said seriously: "Listen carefully, this is your only chance. If we fail, the Amber Tour Group will hold a grudge against us, and the consequences will be serious!"
The crowd didn't take it seriously. The consequences would be nothing more than a beating and being thrown into the Navy. Their case was at most an attempted highway robbery and a street fight. They would be detained at the Navy base for a few days and then released. It was no big deal.
The leader frowned and said, "Don't be naive. The leader of the Amber Tour Group holds a grudge very much. I heard that he went out to sea because someone wanted to steal his cat. Then he led his men to chase the cat thief from the Grand Line all the way to the East China Sea and cut him into pieces with his own hands!"
In fact, he also heard it from others, and then made some changes based on various rumors, so that his companions would not regard the Amber Tour Group as good people and think that there would be no serious consequences if they provoked good people. "Good people" like the Amber Tour Group would not let people point guns at them casually.
“Is it really like this?!”
"Damn it, I was almost fooled by what was written in the newspaper!"
"Anyway, cheer up. Whether you can make a fortune depends on this time!" The leader was very satisfied with his companions' reactions. He assigned tasks in detail, "You guys go around to the other end to block them, you go to a high place to keep watch, and the rest of you follow me to go in from this side and capture the people."
"Yes!" The bounty hunters dispersed.
A young man asked hesitantly, "Boss, isn't this a bad thing for us to do?"
"Hmm? You want to turn against us?"
"No..." the young man hesitated. "I mean, it's their ability to catch the wanted criminal and find the treasure. Isn't our method of kidnapping hostages a bit despicable? I always feel guilty..."
"You're done for if you talk about conscience!" The leader looked at him and said bitterly, "What do you do for a living?"
The young man was stunned by his question: "Bounty...bounty hunter."
"That's right. You know you're a bounty hunter. Bounty hunters do things for money, and do things for money. It's the Navy's job to be conscientious. Our only goal is to make money, make money, and make money by any means necessary!" The leader tried to correct the young man's professional ethics. "Okay, don't think too much about it. Once you finish this job and see the generous rewards, you will understand everything."
Many bounty hunters do not make a living simply by catching pirates, they will more or less take on some shady business, and in the Sabaody Archipelago, this situation is even more serious.
Especially before the Human Auction House was attacked by Nightmare and Yixiao, many bounty hunters in the Sabaody Archipelago were primarily employed to help capture people for money. They could easily transform into pirates or human traffickers. Even among the prisoners Zhang Da had previously sent to the navy, there were some fallen bounty hunters.
Now, in the face of huge profits, kidnapping an unruly "colleague" is nothing.
"Oh..." The young man followed the boss's footsteps, not quite understanding what he was doing. It was the boss who brought him into the bounty hunting business in the beginning, so what the boss said must be right, right?
…
Uncle Long didn't realize at this time that someone was plotting against him. He was in a good mood after buying two bottles of shampoo at the grocery store, because the boss said that he had tried this shampoo himself and that it contained some medicinal herbs that could prevent hair loss. After washing, the hair would be very black and shiny.
"Next... let's go buy some salt. It should be in this direction. The coffee cup Perona wants can also be bought here." This is not the first time Uncle Long has come to this street. He has come here several times in the past few days to buy daily necessities and is very familiar with the terrain in this area.
Although everyone seemed to find it more and more troublesome when they asked him to help carry things, after a round of shopping, he still bought everything everyone wanted.
Various commodities were packed in bubble bags according to categories, and they were held like a bunch of hydrogen balloons. Uncle Long once again felt the convenience of the bubble culture of the Sabaody Archipelago.
However, as he was about to return to the tavern, he gradually discovered that something was wrong - there were fewer pedestrians on the street, or rather, there was no pedestrian near him at all.
Jackie Chan observed vigilantly and sure enough, there were about ten people walking towards him, each with a weapon in his hand, and it seemed that they had no good intentions.
Out of a last bit of luck, Jackie Chan pretended not to see them, turned around naturally and prepared to walk in another direction, but someone with a weapon also walked towards him from the other direction.
Jackie Chan planned to return to the store and escape through the back door, but the owner had already vigilantly closed the doors and windows. As a resident of the Sabaody Archipelago, he was very vigilant and had a strong sense of self-protection.
"Ah, they are really not friendly at all." Jackie Chan looked at the houses on both sides and thought it would not be a problem to climb over them. However, just as he was about to take action, a bullet hit the ground in front of him.
A bounty hunter blew away the smoke and then pointed his gun at Jackie Chan again.
Jackie Chan reluctantly saluted in a French military salute. The bubble bag in his hand was freed from its restraints and was about to fly away, but Jackie Chan hurriedly caught it back and gave the bounty hunters an awkward smile: "Excuse me, is there any misunderstanding?"
The leader also pulled out a gun and pointed it at him and said, "There is no misunderstanding. We just want to invite Mr. Jackie Chan to come sit with us and have a cup of coffee."
Jackie Chan looked back and forth, quickly observing the number of people and weapons equipped by the other party, and said in a very polite tone: "Thank you for your kindness, but I personally prefer to drink tea."
The leader himself didn't think Jackie Chan would cooperate obediently, so he waved his hand to signal his companions to arrest him.
However, Jackie Chan was quicker than him. While answering him, he had already used the dragon charm in his right hand to launch a dragon blast in the direction of the leader.
There was a loud bang, and the fire and smoke obscured the leader's vision. It also scared the people on the other side, who thought the boss had been killed.
But in fact, Uncle Long was soft-hearted and aimed at the ground instead of people. This dragon blast only made a big hole in the neat street. Except for a few unlucky guys in the front who were blown away by the blast, everyone else was safe and sound. It was just that the situation on the other side of the explosion could not be seen clearly for the time being.
Uncle Long took advantage of this opportunity to roll , avoiding several bullets fired subconsciously, and then raised his hand to fire a dragon blast to the other side.
Taking advantage of the fact that the vision on both sides was blocked, Uncle Long trotted two steps, kicked off the wall twice and jumped onto the roof, then rolled to the ground on the other side of the house, and then ran away. The whole process was as smooth as if he was taking a stroll in his own yard, and he didn't even let go of the bunch of bubble bags in his left hand.
When the smoke cleared, people on both sides rushed forward in a mess, pointing their weapons at each other and staring blankly for a while: What just happened?
The people who had been ordered to occupy the high ground and keep watch were also confused. What were you doing? How did he get away? Could this person walk through walls?
"Chase!" The leader gritted his teeth, kicked open the door of the shop next door, and rushed out from the back door with a group of companions under the horrified gaze of the boss.
There was a young man who fell behind and apologized sincerely to the boss. However, he was poor and had to follow the boss for meals, so he naturally had no money to compensate the boss for his losses. He could only catch up with the team with guilt.
The boss generously said it was okay, and then he immediately called the naval base after they ran away.
Apologize? If apologies were useful, what would the navy do? Besides, who would apologize with a knife in hand? How could I dare to say I didn't forgive?
The bounty hunters who were chasing Jackie Chan were disappointed, because Jackie Chan flexibly climbed over several walls, so that they could not even see his back. If they wanted to chase him again, they could only block him at the door of the tavern, and they did not have that courage.
So the leader gave an order and everyone ran for their lives cursing. They had only cooperated temporarily, and now that the plan had failed, their life and death depended entirely on themselves.
On the other side, Jackie Chan was running wildly while holding a bunch of bubble packs. People on the street made way for him. They recognized that he was Tatsuya's companion who was running wildly. It was no surprise that he liked running wildly.
"Huh...did you get rid of it?" Jackie Chan propped himself up on his knees and took a few breaths. "It went better than I thought."
"By the way, who are those people?" Jackie Chan took the time to check the contents of the bubble bag. The salt bag was not leaking, the big toothbrush would be fine, and the coffee cup that Perona wanted... was good, not broken, and the cat food and other things were also fine.
"Luckily they didn't shoot at these things, otherwise we would have to buy them again."
Jackie Chan breathed a sigh of relief and walked leisurely for a while. Then he suddenly felt that his thinking today seemed to be wrong. A normal person should be more urgent when encountering such a thing, right? Why did I still care whether the thing was broken or not?
"I'm back." Jackie Chan couldn't figure out the reason along the way, and in the end he could only attribute it to his own carelessness.
"What a cute cup!" Perona immediately saw what she wanted, "Thank you, Uncle Long!"
"This toothbrush looks good too..." Shark Chili noticed that Jackie Chan was covered in dust and his clothes were a little messy. "How did this happen? Did he fall?"
"It was a little more serious than falling. Actually, after I finished shopping, I encountered a group of people who wanted to catch me, and this happened when I was running away." Jackie Chan recounted what happened.
Everyone became serious. They were attacked just for buying something. It seemed like they wanted to take someone hostage to threaten them.
Wendy and Weiwei asked nervously, "Is Uncle Long injured?"
Jackie Chan said, "I'm fine. I escaped quickly."
"I'll go catch them all!" Before anyone could say anything, countless little ghosts flew out of Perona's body, complaining at the same time: "Really, why are you running? Don't you have powerful weapons?"
These bastards actually dared to attack Uncle Long. Although Uncle Long liked to preach, he also taught her a lot... Perona gritted her teeth and decided not to let these guys go!
"Ye Yan! Lend me the flag demon!" Zhang Da also turned and walked towards Ye Yan's room. He probably knew Uncle Long's thoughts. After meeting these people, the first thing he wanted to do was to get away. When using the dragon spell, he had to take into account human lives and the shops on the street. Although it was understandable, this time he stood on Perona's side. With the dragon blaster in hand, he should blow up these bastards first.
Xia Lulu spread her wings and asked, "Do they have any characteristics? I'll go to the sky and take a look."
Jackie Chan tried to recall the clothes and facial features of those people. It wasn't very detailed, but there were some clues: "Um... what are you going to do?"
