Pirate Archon

Chapter 2, Umbrella Sword

This was not the first time for everyone to attend such an occasion, so during the entire product exchange meeting, except for a small friction before the opening, it did not cause any more waves.

In the final analysis, their business relies on Haier to maintain their business. The inequality of channels between the two parties makes the former dare not make trouble in front of Haier. Even if they have many private conflicts, they have to resolve them privately at the seafood store.

Of course, for Haier, who is in such an absolutely advantageous position, there is no need for him to favor anyone here except himself, and the business will continue to be successful without anyone else.

After some haggling, it was Douglas who finally sold all the goods on hand. Among the remaining ones, Scarface had a larger share, but in the end he couldn't compare with Douglas.

Haier: "Okay, then it's settled. I will send a car to pick up the goods at noon the day after tomorrow. If any of you make a mistake,"

Haier didn't finish what he said, but the threat was expressed very clearly.

He gave everyone instructions and then waved his hand to signal everyone to leave.

Everyone seemed to complain about this arrogant attitude, but in the end they couldn't get angry and could only grit their teeth.Among them, the conflict between Scarface and Douglas is particularly obvious.

As the saying goes, cutting off people's wealth is like killing their parents.

With the total market quota limited, Douglas has naturally become a thorn in Scarface's side. What's more, the former Hesitation is just a teenager, and his subordinates are all kiddies of the same age. He hopes that Scarface can It would be too far-fetched to stick to the moral bottom line and continue this game of fair competition.

Scarface: "Kid, do you know the difference between human blood and fish blood?"

His voice was sinister. As he called Douglas from behind, he pulled out the fisherman's knife from his waist with one hand and touched the deep brown scar on his face with the other hand.

You don't need to do anything, this majestic appearance alone is enough to scare the average child, and if it's serious, it may even become a nightmare tonight.

Douglas, however, did not show the slightest fear of this.

He half turned around and looked at Scarface with calm eyes.

Douglas: "Not bad."

Scarface: "What did you say?"

Douglas held the umbrella with one hand, shook it out of thin air, and continued to explain: "I thought you, a tough guy, would come to provoke me last month, but I didn't expect you to endure it until now."

Scarface: "Ha"

With Scarface's IQ, it was difficult to understand the deep meaning or other subtexts in Douglas' words. However, the word "tough goods" still conveyed a contemptuous meaning at the very least, which made Scarface suddenly angry.

As a fisherman, Scarface is tall and has strong muscles that are the envy of bodybuilding coaches.

Simple-minded and well-developed limbs are a perfect way to describe this giant man who is almost twice as tall as Douglas.

At this moment, he was approaching the young man angrily, and every step he took brought greater pressure, making him almost breathless.

Scarface: "Didn't your mother teach you how to talk to your elders, kid?"

Douglas: "You're asking for trouble."

Lowering his voice, facing the threat of the strong man, the young man did not retreat but advanced. He picked up the oilcloth umbrella in his hand and pulled out a sword in the air, stabbing the opponent's throat.

It turned out that the top of the cloth umbrella had long been cut into a sharp cone. Following Douglas's movements, a silver-white light flashed past, and before Scarface could react, it accurately pointed at his throat.

Scarface: "What"

Scarface instinctively wanted to fight back, but the stinging pain in his throat and the young man's eyes under the umbrella handle

His ice blue eyes made him dare not move at all.

It wasn't until a few seconds later that Douglas restrained his murderous intent and at the same time pulled away the oilcloth umbrella that was pressing against the opponent's vitals. Only then did the vicious fish boss regain the power to move freely.

Douglas: "I will only give this warning once. Unless you can cause a big tide or ignite a wildfire, otherwise just put away those useless little ideas."

Douglas opened the umbrella and covered his face and eyes. From the perspective of the scarred face, you could only vaguely see his lips moving no more than three-quarters when he spoke: "I will not let go of the fishery business. If I have the ability, I will take care of it." Let’s get out of the West End.”

After finishing speaking, turn around.

Douglas didn't hesitate, and after leaving Scarface alone, he deliberately took a long detour to ensure his whereabouts were hidden, and then went directly from the trail to the safe house on the beach.

At this time, the sky had completely darkened, and Haier's business wasted too much of his time.

Fortunately, it was not yet the agreed deadline for returning to the shelter, which also allowed Douglas to take his hands off to deal with the little girl's problem.

"Boom boom boom boom boom boom."

Simon: "Douglas"

Douglas: "It's me, open the door."

Confirming the code of the knock on the door, Simon put Douglas into the house. Although from the outside, this seaside cabin hidden by the mountain wall was extremely dilapidated and difficult to find, the inside was occupied by Douglas and other friends a few years ago. Renovated.

In its current condition, this two-story hut not only does not leak, but also stores a large number of canned food for easy preservation, as well as all other supplies needed for survival.

This was the retreat Douglas prepared for everyone.

In fact, his original plan was to build a ship large enough to move most people, but a group of orphans simply did not have enough funds or technology to complete this plan. As a last resort, he could only settle for the next best thing.

Douglas: "Where's the girl?"

Simon: "Upstairs, as you told me, I burned all her original clothes and simply disinfected the wounds with alcohol."

Douglas: "Is the wound suppurating or infected?"

Simon: "It doesn't seem like there's just a long stab wound on her back, and she's a little hot."

Douglas: "Inflammatory response"

Douglas frowned. He didn't have any anti-inflammatory drugs here. Those were only available in clinics in the city. The slums didn't have that kind of convenience.

Simon: "Is she going to die?"

Douglas: "It's hard to say yet. If the fever doesn't go away by tomorrow morning, we will use backup measures."

The young man rubbed his brows with his hands. Although the arrival of this strange girl was an opportunity for their organization, he had too many things to worry about recently, and there was really little room for distraction.

On the other side, Simon, who was equally worried, glanced at Douglas timidly, and finally couldn't help but speak.

Simon: "Douglas, can I ask you a question?"

Douglas: "You wonder why I suddenly changed my mind about saving people"

Simon: "Yeah."

Simon nodded. Although he knew very well that Douglas was not really cold-blooded, he rarely extended a helping hand to strangers at all costs.

Douglas: "The reason is simple, because keeping this girl alive is more beneficial to our future plans."

The young man paused and continued to explain to Simon, who was full of doubts: "Have you heard of Devil Fruits?"
