"Because I don't like you, and although I don't think I'm a righteous person, I have my own moral standards. You're pirates, I don't know how much you've done to kill and plunder, but at least the slave trade has done.

When you rescued me on the ship, you also saved me because you wanted to sell me to others to make money. So, in my moral standards, it's hard to tolerate people like you.

I didn't do anything to you at the beginning, in addition to not wanting to be noticed by the world, I also used the lives of a few of you as food money during that time. It's just that what I didn't expect was that you still had the courage to appear in front of me. ”

Chewing on the takoyaki in his mouth, Zhuang Xiaoyuan grinned, revealing a mouthful of pure white shell teeth. It's just that when he heard what Zhuang Xiaoyuan said, the bearded man couldn't feel the kindness from her smile, and some only had a chill that suddenly appeared from the bottom of his heart.

"If you want to clean us up, why do you still talk so much nonsense with me, can't you just do it? I'm sure that with your abilities, it won't be difficult to find our ship. ”

Barely suppressing the chill that appeared in his heart, the bearded man forced himself to take a deep breath calmly, gritted his teeth and continued.

He was indeed taken aback by the fact that Zhuang Xiaoyuan suddenly said, but after this fright, he had a greater grasp of his plan. Because, Zhuang Xiaoyuan did not explicitly reject him.

Although both the tone and tone were full of obvious rejection, Zhuang Xiaoyuan did not directly say that he did not accept their proposal at all. Moreover, he has been wandering around this festival street with himself since just now, which also makes a glimmer of hope in the bearded heart.

"Indeed, if you really want to clean you up, you don't need me to do it, as long as you send your position to the Knight Academy, you can't escape if you want to. However, if it can help me, I can barely accept it. ”

Seeing that the bearded man heard his words, although it was difficult to hide the horror in his eyes, it still revealed from his expression, Zhuang Xiaoyuan couldn't help but look at him a little differently. This bearded man is a talent.

"What the hell are you going to do? Is it to accept us or to reject us? Although there was a glimmer of hope in her heart, when Zhuang Xiaoyuan really said that she was willing to accept it, the bearded man was confused by her.

While saying no, he said he was willing to accept it. Well, what she meant was to accept their proposal and break the rule of the Five Academies. Or reject their proposal and do your own thing?

"Don't you get it yet? We are not equal to each other. You can make it easy for me, and I'd love someone to be able to send it. However, it is absolutely impossible for me to do things for you and become your backstage supporter.

If you want to break the rule of the five academies, you need to work your own, and I won't care about it. However, I have to go to the Pure Music Academy and the Chongwu Academy to retrieve my own things, and it will indeed be much more convenient to have you here.

Therefore, you have been unconditionally requisitioned by me, and the requisitioned reward is the lives of several of you. As long as I don't see you doing bad things, I will never do anything to you. But if I find out...... You know. ”

Casually throwing the empty box of octopus into the trash, Zhuang Xiaoyuan was talking to the bearded man beside him, and at the same time he had already picked up a string of soft marshmallows from a nearby stall.

“…… Is this a stealing of chickens and rice? Hearing Zhuang Xiaoyuan's seemingly casual words, the bearded man was directly stunned, until the owner of the stall urged him to pay, then he settled the account in a daze and chased after Zhuang Xiaoyuan, who had already gone forward again.

Originally, it was because he saw Zhuang Xiaoyuan's strength, so he wanted to use her strength to achieve his own goals. But now, it seems that his goal has not been achieved, and he is going to be used as a tool by Zhuang Xiaoyuan, and he is completely unable to refuse.

Thinking of the powerful power that Zhuang Xiaoyuan showed before, the bearded man couldn't help but give himself a big mouth in annoyance. This is blinded by greed, how could I suddenly come to the door with a hot head, isn't this here to deliver food?

Now that the strength of the two sides is very different, he is not qualified to negotiate conditions with Zhuang Xiaoyuan at all. After telling her the favorable conditions that he could give, he became a help to take the initiative to send it to the door.

"Don't cry and lose your face, isn't it normal for pirates like you to rob other people's things every day, and be robbed once in a while. Come out and mix, sooner or later you will have to pay it back. Of course, I have done me a favor, and I am not unable to give you a little benefit.

If you can change your mind and become a new person, I may be able to pull you along and let the people of Stigmata Academy take care of you a little. I don't think it's very good for you to be a serious businessman, you have good knowledge and brains, and it's much better than being a pirate who licks blood from the edge of a knife. ”

Grabbing the marshmallow with his right hand and taking a bite gently, the soft sugar shreds melted in his mouth, and the faint sweetness also passed into Zhuang Xiaoyuan's brain through the taste buds. Zhuang Xiaoyuan stood in front of the fried noodle stall and waited for the fried noodles, while eating the marshmallow casually, and said to the bearded man next to him.

"Do you think I should be a serious businessman? Actually, I was a trader. But without the backing of the five academies, ordinary businessmen simply can't do it.

Moreover, piracy is also rife at sea, and if they do not invade their own territory, the five academies will not care at all. I was robbed by pirates on the way to transfer a batch of goods, and because of heavy losses, I finally became a pirate directly with a ruthless heart, and I became the current person. ”

Hearing Zhuang Xiaoyuan's words, the bearded man's eyes flashed, and his face also showed a hint of triumph, and he said with some pride.

That's what he's most proud of, even though being a pirate isn't an honorable thing. But from an ordinary businessman, he owned his own pirate ship in just a few years after going to sea to become a pirate, and became one of the most famous pirates on Blackstone Island, which is enough to show his strength.

"Without further ado, you'll be mine next. Whether it's your people, or your ships, or even your treasures, I've taken them all. Pay quickly, there's a lot to eat later. ”

Glancing at the smug beard, Zhuang Xiaoyuan unceremoniously broke a bucket of cold water for him. No matter how powerful a pirate is, it's not time to listen to her. If you are asked to pay, you will pay, and if you are asked to carry people, you will be carried.

"Yes, how much?" When Zhuang Xiaoyuan said this, the smugness on the bearded man's face was instantly swept away, and he was depressed again. People are swordsmen and I am fish and meat, and now he has no other choice than to be obedient and look forward to the benefits that may exist.
