What the round-faced middle-aged man and the receptionist didn't know was that all their conversations were heard verbatim by Lefa in the reception room. At such a close distance, it was impossible for Lefa not to hear even if he wanted to. His hell The ear is as powerful as instinct.

"I don't know what's going on in Alabasta now. According to Father Warring States, after the death of my uncle King Edmund, his only son Cobra inherited the throne. It should not be fully integrated yet. The power of the kingdom is..." Lei Fa thought to himself.

He actually wasn't too impressed with Cobra.

Because in the comics, this person's presence is not very strong. Instead, it is his daughter Weiwei, who is very popular and can be regarded as one of the partners recognized by the future 'protagonists'.

However, no matter what, the Kobra who had just succeeded to the throne was considered his cousin, and it could be said that his father died because he saved him, so he had to accept this kindness.

To Lei Fa's relief, the round-faced middle-aged man was very efficient at work. He returned within half an hour with a smile on his face.

Looking at his appearance, Lei Fa could guess that the matter was probably done.

The round-faced middle-aged man’s words once again verified Leifa’s guess, “Sir, I have helped you find a cargo ship that is about to go to [Shengting Island]. This cargo ship will leave for [Shengting Island] tomorrow to do business. The private property of a businessman... In addition, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble caused by exposing your identity, I took it upon myself to arrange a temporary identity for you. "

"Huh?" Lei Fa waited patiently.

"You will board the ship as a conscripted guard. I have given you a guarantee that there will be no problem. However, you may feel a little aggrieved along the way... If you don't mind, I can do that too. We can put pressure on him directly through the guild's channels, but that will easily attract some extra attention, and I don't know if it will affect you." The round-faced middle-aged man asked respectfully.

"There's no need to go to such trouble. You've done a good job. I'll just get on the ship as an escort." After thinking about it, Refa waved his hand and said.

"Okay, then I will ask someone to take you there to wait. Early tomorrow morning, you can just board the ship and report. I wish you a safe journey, sir -"

"Well, thank you." Refa nodded.

The next day, Lei Fa set foot on the cargo ship according to the arrangement of the round-faced middle-aged man.

After being taken into the cabin by the servants on the ship, Refa saw the owner of the cargo ship, a wealthy old man who looked to be about fifty or sixty years old, with a kind face.

After a brief exchange, he learned that the old man's name was Glinton and he was the boss of a trading group. This cargo ship was his main tool for doing business.

Since the ecological environment of each island in the Grand Line is very different, there are many things that have completely different values ​​on different islands, and this is the meaning of trade.

They bought some items of low value from this island, and then sold them on another island where these items were in short supply to earn the price difference, which was a huge profit.

But this kind of business also faces many problems. The biggest problem is that you may encounter pirates during the business process!

You know, there are a lot of pirates in this world. Even if the 'big pirate era' has not really arrived yet, the number of pirates is already quite large.

Although the merchant group itself has its own armed force, it is nothing on this great route. If it really encounters a more powerful pirate group, the merchant group's own armed force will be somewhat insufficient. Therefore, Glinton often We will also temporarily hire some extraordinary guards.

A truly powerful person would not be willing to work as a subordinate for a small business group for a long time, but for remuneration, it is still okay to serve occasionally. Glinton understands this, so he does not hesitate to use half of the profits each time. Hire an escort just to be safer.

This seemingly 'extravagant' move is one of the most important reasons why Glinton has been able to stand for many years.

For example, this time, he hired a total of seven guards, each of whom was a master found through relatively reliable channels. They were at least as powerful as criminals with millions of bounties on their heads. Three of them even had millions of dollars worth of guards. The strength of criminals with bounties above their level.

As long as the guards of this kind of lineup are not unlucky enough to encounter those large pirate groups, they will generally be fine.

Leifa is one of these seven guards.

However, when Glinton saw Refa with his own eyes, he was a little dumbfounded.

Because according to the information given by the introducer, this guard named Leifa is a two-star bounty hunter, which means that he is strong enough to kill people with a bounty of more than 5 million and a bounty of less than 10 million. Rewards for criminals.

But the person in front of him clearly looked like a boy of fourteen or fifteen years old.

Whether it's from his appearance or his youthful and sunny dress, he has nothing to do with a two-star bounty hunter.

This made Glinton a little undecided.

It's not that he looks down on people or anything, but he paid half of his profits from a business trip to hire these seven guards, which is not a small amount even for him. If the person hired is unreliable, it will not only be a waste of money, but also increase the risk of doing business.

Lefa also quickly saw the hesitation of the wealthy old man Glinton, and asked with a smile, "Boss Glinton is worried that my strength is not as good as the introduction, right?"

"Mr. Lefa is worrying too much. I definitely didn't mean it." After much thought, Glinton decided not to ask more questions because he could trust the introducer this time.

"It's okay, I would have some doubts. Let's do this. Boss Glinton, if you are worried, you can ask your people to try my hand at it." Refa said with a smile.

Naturally, he is not afraid of any temptation, because the temporary identity assigned to him by the round-faced middle-aged man is just that of a two-star bounty hunter, which is really not challenging.

"It's really not necessary. Don't get me wrong, Mr. Lefa. I was just a little surprised to see you so young." Glinton shook his head repeatedly and continued, "Since we have met, Mr. Lefa, please go ahead and Go and rest, I will arrange a separate room for you. After we set off soon, there will be a small dinner here at noon, and I will ask Mr. Refa to show your respect. "

"Okay, then I'll go and rest first. When it's almost noon, you can have someone call me. I'm afraid I'll forget the time." Lefa said with a smile.

"This is what it should be." Glinton also smiled back.
