Chapter 98 But I Reject
Zhang Da also asked Tom for a baseball bat and knocked Miss Valentine unconscious with one blow, showing no mercy at all.
This woman really has no idea what's going on and keeps making noises all the time.
"It's much quieter now." Zhang Da also tapped his palm lightly with a baseball bat and smiled kindly at Mr. 3, "Since you want to talk, let's have a good chat. I ask questions and you answer them, okay?"
This must be a threat, right?
"It's over... no problem at all!" He must be hinting to me that he is not afraid of the Baroque Works, and that if I don't cooperate honestly I will be beaten or even killed. Mr. 3 has a strong desire to survive.
"Then please listen to the first topic... Oh, by the way." Zhang Da also took off his coat and handed it to Kemi, "To block the tail first."
"Okay, OK!" Kimi took the coat obediently. She was only ten years old now, and Zhang Daye's coat was enough to cover her tail.
After all, this is an illegal area, not our home. It would be very troublesome if we were discovered. There were quite a lot of explosions during the battle just now, and now that it has quieted down, there is no guarantee that someone will come over to check the situation.
Zhang Da thought about it and still felt it was not safe, so he moved the conversation location to the abandoned house next door.
"So the first topic is, where are you from, where are you going, and what is your purpose of coming here?" Zhang Da also started by asking three philosophical questions.
Mr.3 was stunned by the question, and then realized that this was asking him to explain the cause and process of the incident.
"Here's what happened. About twenty days ago, someone contacted us and left the address of your pub to rob a cat.
Originally, we were not interested in this boring mission and wanted to teach that guy a lesson. However, the reward was so high that we could sell several of our senior agents together, so..."
Zhang Da also expressed his understanding, saying that he had given too much: "Then why didn't you take advantage of the opportunity when I was traveling alone with Tom?"
"That's because not long after we came here, we noticed that you had a relationship with the mermaid, so we wanted to take the opportunity to make some extra money." Mr. 3 explained his plans without reservation.
Zhang Da also followed his line of thought and thought that apart from the miscalculation of the force in the tavern, there seemed to be no other problems.
That’s why I hate these enemies who can use their brains the most.
"Who issued the task?" Zhang Da also wanted to confirm his guess.
Mr.3 had no intention of keeping the client confidential: "It's a businessman named Biznis."
"That's not right. A man as cautious as him wouldn't personally negotiate with the criminal gang, right? How did you find out about him?"
"Indeed, he sent his men to contact us, but with the unlucky duo around, it was easy to trace him."
"We've already investigated. He's so rich, why don't you just kill him?" Zhang Da said with some disappointment, "You can't even rob other gangs. You're the worst criminal organization I've ever seen."
"Ha, haha..." Mr. 3 laughed awkwardly, thinking to himself how come this guy looks more like a criminal than me, and then he gave Zhang Da some tips on their rules of doing things:
"We're investigating him only because the transaction amount is huge. If he can't pay, we need some protection. Under normal circumstances, we won't take action against our customers..."
"What do you think I should do if I want to get rid of this Biznis?" Zhang Da also estimated that Biznis would not dare to come to the Sabaody Archipelago before learning that the tavern had been resolved, so he consulted the "professionals".
"You can leave this to us!" Mr. 3 felt that he had grasped a glimmer of hope. "As long as you let us go, I promise to perfectly eliminate him and his caravan within a month!"
Zhang Da also looked at him with disdain: "You just said you wouldn't do anything to customers."
“Hehehe, he was the one who broke the rules first.” Mr. 3 smiled apologetically, but it looked like a sly smile no matter how you looked at it. “He lied about the number of people and specific strength of the tavern, causing our company to suffer huge losses. So, we have to hold him accountable. That’s right, that’s it!”
Mr.3 felt that this was the best way. After all, even if Zhang Da let him go today, he would still face the punishment for mission failure.
But if we put all the blame on that Biznis, kill him and get the money back, then the punishment shouldn't be too severe since there's no major loss.
But Zhang Da also broke his idea: "I refuse."
"Huh? Why?" Mr. 3 felt that this was a win-win situation for both parties. "You don't have to worry about me not keeping my word. Under the current circumstances, I will completely get rid of him even for my own sake!"
"Because you are a criminal. If we let you go, we don't know how many people will be hurt. It's better to exchange you for a bounty." Zhang Da also felt that it was not a good idea. That Bizenis would always find a way to solve the problem. There was no need to let these people go back to do evil, and they might even come back to retaliate.
It seems that even if they don't release them, Baroque Works will not let Biznis off easily. After all, it was because of him that they lost three high-ranking agents with high code names.
It would be better to hand these people over to the navy. If the navy gets the news about Baroque Works and cooperates with Alabasta, they might be able to cause some trouble for Crocodile.
"Please think about it again!" Mr. 3 wanted to persuade him again, but Zhang Da had already asked Tom to dismantle the house and build a car on the spot.
Looking at the rapidly taking shape of the cart, Mr. 3 completely resigned himself to his fate: "Then please at least meet my last small request!"
"Tell me about it?" Zhang Da was also curious about what request he would make.
Could it be that he wanted to use his ability to create a wax figure in the end to satisfy his artistic pursuit? After all, he is an artist.
Mr. 3 said pitifully, "Can you help me blow out the fire on my hair? I used my power to make wax and mixed it with my hair to create the shape. I can't use my power to replenish it now. If it continues like this, my hair will burn off."
Zhang Daye: “…”
I was wrong about you, Mr. Artist.
Kemi jumped over with her tail dragging, and looked at Zhang Daye expectantly: "Huh? Is this a candle? Can I make a wish when I blow out the candle?"
I'm not a cake! Mr.3 wanted to yell, but he still tried to smile: "No problem, I don't mind, make a wish to my candle, maybe it will come true."
"That's great, thank you, Mr. 3!" Kimi clasped his hands together, closed his eyes and began to make a wish seriously.
After seeing this, Tom also stopped working temporarily and came to join in the fun.
Seeing the two cute creatures acting so serious, Zhang Da shook his head and laughed, "How about I make a wish for my dear roommate to wear something different?"
