"Don't be so ignorant, you bastard! Don't forget whose territory you are on now! You don't want to save face, do you?"
Following Glass's rebuke, all the members of the Hooked Shark Gang in the tavern drew their weapons and pointed their guns at Ander. All of a sudden, countless shining blades and black gun muzzles were pointed at Ander. Ander was stunned after seeing this, and then his whole momentum softened.
"Hey, hey...Boss Glass, let's talk it over, don't use guns, it will hurt the relationship..."
With an apologetic smile, Ander looked at Glass and said in a flattering way. Seeing Ander's submissive look, Glass couldn't help but hum with satisfaction, and then continued to speak with a proud look.
"Peaceful? Humph, then, if you want to end this peacefully, then Mr. Ander, please stop looking for trouble here. I'll make a final offer. You have ten blood animals in total, and I'll give you a total of 40,000 riels. If you accept, we'll make the deal immediately. If not, we'll continue negotiating in a less peaceful way. It's your choice."
Glass said this, and then he slammed a revolver on the table, and Ender nodded repeatedly after seeing this.
"Tsk, tsk, 47,000 is 47,000. We won't bargain. This price is quite high."
Ander readily agreed to Glass's offer. Seeing Ander's frightened look, Glass felt even more satisfied and comfortable. Then he winked at a younger brother beside him, and the younger brother quickly took out a handbag and placed it on the table. After opening the bag, bundles of banknotes were revealed.
Then, Glass's younger brother took out some of the banknotes in the handbag, counted them, pulled the handbag, and threw it in front of Ander. After Ander took the bag, he quickly opened the door and counted it. After confirming that there were 47,000 riels in it, which was approximately equal to 2,200 pounds.
"Thank you, Mr. Glass. The remaining goods are on the carriage outside and can be counted at any time."
Holding a briefcase full of banknotes, Ander looked at Glass and said, while Glass smoked another cigarette and looked at the pharmacist and other brothers beside him.
"You guys follow me and inspect the goods."
Following Glass's order, the Hooked Shark Gang members at the scene put away their weapons, followed the pharmacist and followed Ander out of the tavern. Then Glass smoked in the tavern while waiting for news from outside. After a while, a younger brother pushed open the door and walked in in a panic, came in front of Glass and started talking.
"Boss, there's something wrong with that guy!"
"Problem? What's the problem?"
"Among the seven guys outside, only six are alive, and one of them has already died! He can't be slaughtered for medicine!" The younger brother reported to Glass truthfully, and Glass frowned and put out the cigarette in his hand after hearing it.
"Oh...it turns out that more than one of those guys was killed. Where's Ander? Bring him in here!"
"That Ander...he has already run away! While we weren't paying attention, he knocked out the brother who was watching him and ran away with the money!" The younger brother continued to report. Listening to his report, Glass's eyebrows raised.
"Oh wow... they dare to hit our people, how timid! If we don't teach them a lesson, they won't know whose territory this Mon Carlo is! Hurry up and chase him! Find him and bring him to me!"
Glass gave the order like this. He was not at all worried about Ander's escape. The Hooked Shark Gang was the local boss of Mon Carlo, with influence spread all over the city. In this island city of Mon Carlo, there was no one they could not find.
"yes!"
Following Glass's words, the younger brother immediately went out to pass the order. Just as Glass continued to sit in the tavern, thinking about what kind of Monte Carlo torture he should inflict on the captured Ander, a loud noise suddenly came from outside the tavern, mixed with screams and exclamations.
Hearing this voice, Glass couldn't help but frown again, and then he couldn't help but yelled impatiently.
"What's going on outside?!"
As if in response to Glass's roar, the door of the tavern was directly knocked open, and then the little brother who had just been out to deliver the message stumbled in from outside. At this time, he looked panicked and his head was covered in blood.
"Boss...someone is fighting outside!" The younger brother with blood all over his head staggered in front of Glass and said in a somewhat unclear manner. After hearing what the younger brother said, Glass couldn't help but shout.
"Someone called? Who, who is it? Did Ander bring his men here to cause trouble?"
"No... no... it's the city guards..."
"City guards? Impossible! Captain Cooley's tribute this month exceeded the quota, how could there be a City Guard coming!" After hearing the younger brother's response, Glass stood up from his seat and said, while the younger brother continued to answer hesitantly.
"No... Captain Kuli... The one leading those city guards is the Tenth Young Master..."
"Ten...Ten Young Masters..."
Hearing the younger brother's words, Glass's originally red and angry face instantly turned into a look of anger. He stood up and sat down again with a limp butt.
…
At this moment, on a street somewhere in Mon Carlo, a girl with long hair who was shopping was observing the chaotic scene at the door of a tavern in the distance with the bird's eye view of a corpse doll, while controlling another corpse doll on a carriage. She patted the handbag full of banknotes beside her, licked the sweet popsicle in her hand, and said with a smile.
"This deal is quite worthwhile, not a loss"
…
On the other side, at the port of Mon Carlo, a new ship was sailing slowly towards its berth. On the deck of the ship, a girl with long grey curly hair, a bow headband, and a simple dress, who looked to be about thirteen or fourteen years old, was lying on the railing, looking at the city in front of her and couldn't help but speak.
"Wow... Is this Mon Carlo? It looks completely different from other bustling cities..."
The girl sighed like this, and next to her, a pitch-black kitten was sitting on the deck, staring intently at the city that was gradually approaching.
