Chapter 83 Tom is a generous cat
The dark forces were not mentioned much in the anime, and Zhang Da only remembered that a few bigwigs from the dark world showed up at the aunt's tea party.
The one who impressed me the most was of course the Queen of Happy Street, Stussy, not because she was beautiful, but because she was an agent of CP0.
As for the others, since they didn't have many roles, he treated them as extras and didn't even remember their names. Naturally, he didn't know whether they had any connection with the illegal area in Shampoodi .
Herse happily took a sip of the wine that Zhang Daye poured for him. The pleasure of drinking without paying was so great that he couldn't stop.
As for leaking information, it was just like bragging about what he had seen and heard. If he could get some wine in exchange, it would be a big win:
"Speaking of dark forces, Fun Street must be one of them."
"Joy Street is in Chambord?"
"That's not the case. The business on Happy Street usually involves casinos and other shady entertainment venues. The headquarters is not here, but there must be branches." Hulse put emphasis on the word 'others', as if it contained a lot of information.
"Oh, that's true." Zhang Da also remembered that Reilly often gambled and lost himself, and the casino would often be involved in other transactions.
"Not to mention anything else, the casino is bound to have the presence of the loan shark king, Du Field. And those who can't pay back the loan sharks might have their entire family sold off."
Zhang Da also frowned. If you owe loan sharks on this island, you will definitely be sold. Gamblers themselves do not deserve sympathy, but their families are really too innocent.
"When it comes to human transactions, the 'Big Hand Undertaker' Piercrot will probably be involved. I heard that in addition to being a killer and selling slaves, he is also involved in organ trafficking..."
At this point, Hulsey dry-heaved . "It's better not to mention him. The wine tastes worse when he's mentioned. Besides them, there's the 'hidden master' Gibson from the warehousing industry."
"Can the warehousing industry also be considered a dark force?" Zhang Da asked casually, and then immediately figured it out, "I'm afraid it's not just an ordinary warehousing industry, right?"
"Yes, of course, he is involved in the storage of various contraband and smuggled items. He is called a hidden master because no one knows where he hides the items before the transaction."
"So, in addition to pirates, bounty hunters, and gangsters , there are also extremely complex dark forces hidden in the lawless areas..."
"That's only natural. This is probably one of the reasons why the navy hasn't directly taken action to wipe out the illegal areas."
"I've learned something new. Thank you." Zhang Da was also thinking whether the human trafficking store he blew up last time was also owned by some big boss.
Hulse waved his hand nonchalantly and said with a smile: "These are not secrets at all. It's easy to find out. I'm lucky to get a glass of wine from you."
"Oh, really? Then just pretend I never said 'it's my treat'." Zhang Da also tried to imitate Garp and activate the Withdrawal Fruit.
"Pfft..." Hulse turned his head and spit out a mouthful of wine, shouting, "Don't do this!"
Tom, who was reading a book nearby, was innocently caught in the crossfire and was inexplicably sprayed with wine.
"Teacher Tom." Rui Mengmeng took out a towel to help Tom wipe his body. She felt that Teacher Tom seemed to have bad luck today. In the afternoon, he was inexplicably pinched by a crab, eaten by a sea beast, and hit by a Kami. Now, not long after taking a shower, he was sprayed with wine all over his body.
Tom stood up, pushed Rui Mengmeng away, walked to Hulse, drank the rest of the wine in the bottle in one gulp before apologizing, and then sprayed it all on Hulse's face.
Hulse was in mixed emotions, not knowing whether he should continue apologizing.
Zhang Da also knew that Hulse did not mean it, and did not want to make things awkward, so he handed him a towel: "Sorry, Tom did not do it on purpose... uh..."
Zhang Da was also stuck, Tom did it on purpose.
"Haha, it's okay. We are even now. I sprayed the cat pianist with wine. I don't know if he will be beaten when he goes out." Hulse took the towel and wiped his face. He turned to Tom and asked, "I wanted to apologize just now. Um, Mr. Tom should not blame me, right?"
Tom had returned to his original position and resumed a leisurely side-lying position. He nodded readily when he heard Hulse's words.
He is a generous cat. Even if you spray me, I won’t blame you as long as you let me spray back.
Even though the matter was over, Zhang Da opened a bottle of wine and handed it to him. Helse happily took it and went to brag to others.
Isn’t it worth bragging about being able to get the stingy boss to invite customers back?
…
After closing, Zhang Da also placed tea, snacks and fruit plates on the bar and called the pub members together for a brief meeting.
It didn't make much difference to Altria, she just changed the stool and continued eating.
Rui Mengmeng took the last table of dishes to the kitchen to soak, then washed her hands and came over to sit down.
Tom didn't sit on the stool, but lay on the bar, supporting his head with one hand and chewing an apple with the other. Every time I saw Tom eat, no matter what he was eating, he thought it tasted especially delicious.
The reason why a bar counter was used instead of a wine table was because Zhang Da was also worried that holding a meeting next to a round table would bring back bad memories for Altria.
"Today's topic is whether or not we should continue our plan to combat human traffickers." Zhang Da was the first to speak. "You should have heard my previous conversation with Hulse. The situation in the lawless zone seems to be very complicated."
After speaking, Zhang Daye looked at them one by one, starting with Tom.
Tom finished eating an apple and threw the core behind him. It hit the edge of the trash can and bounced into the can. Then he picked up a banana, peeled it precisely into four pieces and continued eating.
As if noticing Zhang Daye's gaze, Tom stopped chewing and pushed the banana in his hand forward, as if asking Zhang Daye if he wanted to eat it.
Zhang Daye: “…”
Okay, I can’t count on this one, the next one is Rui Mengmeng.
"Hey? Me?" Rui Mengmeng waved her hands in panic, "Boss, just make the decision. It's not a bad thing, right? I'm an employee, so just tell me what to do."
Zhang Da didn't know whether he should be happy or not. He explained, "I think this should be done, but it's dangerous. If it's exposed, you might get beaten to death. That's why I want to ask for your opinion. Please think about it carefully."
Rui Mengmeng thought about it and said seriously: "It's okay. If you want to save people from bad guys, how can you not take any risks? Besides, isn't it said that you are the weakest in the tavern? If you dare to go, I won't be afraid, don't worry!"
Zhang Daye: “…”
What you said makes sense, but I really want to hit someone!
