Chapter 46 B.W
"Tatsuya." Altria was not as happy as he thought.
"Um?"
Altria asked, "Are you really going to sell them if they don't have a bounty?"
Zhang Da also thought about it and said, "Probably not. I'll just scare them. If I really sell them, I'll be a human trafficker."
Making money is one thing, but there are some things that you really can't touch. No one sells me, and I don't sell people, but that's just talk.
Simply accepting the reward could be said to be punishing evil and promoting good, and he should get a little bonus, but he could not accept naked human trafficking, even if the target of the trafficking was a villain, scum, or murderer.
Selling a pirate today and a bandit tomorrow, after experiencing this kind of behavior that can easily make huge profits, can you really stop?
If they can't stop, will they one day attack ordinary people as well?
Zhang Da also didn't want to test whether his reason could overcome greed. He now had a choice, and he didn't want to become the person he once hated.
As for killing him directly... He had only been here for a little over a month. How could he, from an ordinary student who had not yet entered society, become a ruthless and decisive hero? How could that be possible? How much suffering would it take for a person to change so much?
Since arriving here, Zhang Da has always been accompanied by Tom.
"It's a good thing to have your own persistence." Altria looked into the distance with deep eyes, not knowing what she was thinking.
"What's wrong?" Zhang Da didn't hear her speak for a long time, so he turned around and asked.
Altria pointed to a store in the distance with a serious face: "That great bun looks delicious."
"..." This turn was a little sharp, and the emotions were a little off. Zhang Da was silent for a while, "Buy it!"
If you say that, I won't be sleepy anymore. Tom jumped on the handlebars and pointed at the shops next to the steamed bun shop. He didn't care whether his master had any persistence or ambition. For Tom, it didn't matter whether he was a good or bad person, strong or weak, as long as he was the master and willing to support him.
"I understand!" Zhang Daye grabbed Tom's neck with a smile and stuffed him into Altria's arms, "Great senbei, right? Buy it! Great chocolate too! Great marshmallow too!"
Taking two foodies to a food street will highlight that one of them is rich and willful.
When they returned to the pub, the three of them were carrying large and small bags and a shrunken Bailey, and each of them was holding a marshmallow in their hands.
Zhang Da also used the bold way of eating, each bite had no aesthetic appeal and no distinctive features.
Altria eats in a graceful way, licking the food in small bites, truly enjoying the food.
Tom's way of eating was absurd. God knew why he could bite the marshmallow into neat holes like an apple and still chew it with relish.
After putting his things in place, Zhang Da began to change his clothes, preparing to pretend to be Pittman.
First of all, the mask. Master Tang has excellent woodworking skills and he quickly made a mask out of wood that is very similar to Pittman.
By the way, he also repaired Pittman's bow and arrow that he had broken. It couldn't be used but it could be used for show. He also made a pair of stilts.
There was no other way. The guy was at least a head taller than Zhang Da, so he could only stand on stilts and then put on a robe and a mask. This way, he could cover himself up and basically would not be seen through at a glance.
Tom's camouflage skills are crude but effective. He can move freely among a pack of dogs with just a dog mask, probably.
Altria changed into a black suit, put on a hat and sunglasses to cover her hair and eyes, and followed Zhang Daye as a follower.
Tom was put into a cloth bag with only his head exposed, and hung on the wooden bow carried by Zhang Tatsuya (refer to the way Chopper was hung on the hilt of Law's sword).
The three of them staggered towards the designated location.
50GR East Coast, there is no port and no special scenery, so not many people come here usually. Zhang Da just waits quietly for the other party to come, wanting to see who is trying to murder him.
We waited until the sun went down.
" What the hell? Why didn't he come?" Zhang Da was also a little confused. This shouldn't happen.
"Were you discovered?" Altria said, "But I didn't feel anyone approaching. Your disguise shouldn't be visible from a distance."
…
On the other end, after Bizenis' assistant hung up the phone, he looked at his boss in confusion: "Boss, why do you have to wait two hours? If I go directly, I can get there in half an hour."
Biznis pinched his mustache and said, " Throw away the Den Den Mushi and get ready to set sail."
The assistant was stunned: "Huh? Why?"
Biznis asked in return: “If you get a one-of-a-kind item, what do you do after you contact the buyer?”
"Of course, you first exaggerate how hard it was to get that thing, or praise the excellent quality of the product, and then take the opportunity to raise the price, and finally say that if you don't accept it, there are many people who are interested in this product..." As he spoke, the assistant seemed to understand something.
Biznis nodded. "Yeah, but that guy only cared about the transaction location and didn't even mention the price. Haha, either he wanted to trick us into going there to rob his fellow thieves, or he sold us out before he got killed. The latter is more likely."
The assistant thought for a moment and agreed, "...We really can't expect these human traffickers to have any qualities like integrity."
Biznis said, "Anyway, the original goods have been prepared. The cat just discovered it by accident. If it doesn't work this time, we can wait until next time. Since a local tyrant like Pittman can't handle it, we can only try to find a more professional criminal gang."
Speaking of criminal gangs, the assistant said uncertainly: "You mean... B.W?"
"Yes, it's the Baroque Workshop that has been gaining popularity recently."
The assistant was shocked and found that he didn't know how to evaluate his boss.
Obviously, he was just dealing with a tavern, but he first found three thugs to test the waters, then hired a fat man to cause trouble, and finally cooperated with human traffickers. Moreover, he always had people deliberately asking for prices these days, for fear that the other party would suspect him. He was so cautious that he could be said to be timid.
But if you say he is timid, how could he dare to cooperate with such a brutal criminal group? That is the Baroque Works, which ostensibly does the work of bounty hunters, but in fact dares to take any job from kidnapping to assassination.
"Boss, isn't it too risky to go after them? It would be better to..."
"Why not just knock on the door of the tavern?" Biznis knew what he wanted to say and shook his head. "The Baroque Workshop is expanding its influence, and it is the time when rules are most important. Although it seems dangerous, they are just doing the job for money. If the rules are broken, it will be difficult to make money in the future, so there is no risk at all to find them now.
As for that seemingly weak tavern, we clearly recruited a lot of people to cause trouble, but in the end, not even a single plate was broken. This kind of strength is what makes me worried. "
The so-called risks cannot be judged superficially. Biznis has always kept this in mind and has survived to this day with caution, and his business is growing bigger and bigger.
Biznis looked at the increasingly distant coastline, as if he saw the furious Zhang Tatsuya: "Brother Tatsuya, before the people I hired come, you must protect my cat..."
