Chapter 205 The crisis of the business group
A flag with a blue horn pattern hangs on the cargo ship. This is the symbol of the Glinton Merchant Group. Anyone who frequents the port will be familiar with this flag.
Because the 'Glinton Merchant Group' is one of the few business groups that will always run the route [Sentine Island], especially a few years ago, when the old owner of the business group passed away and the new owner took office, it will be [Saint Island]. Tingdao] was designated as the fixed garrison point of the 'Glinton Merchant Group'.
This new owner is said to be the granddaughter of the old owner. She is young and beautiful, and has secretly moved the hearts of many people. In fact, it's quite normal. Who wouldn't be tempted by a young beauty with a rich net worth? There are even many people who have secretly made crooked ideas.
But it is a pity that before the old master of the business group passed away, he somehow managed to find a guardian for his only granddaughter - 'Scar' Morton!
Morton's strength is no joke. As a 'four-star bounty hunter', ordinary pirates don't even have the courage to fight in front of him!
This is not a 'new world', nor is it the [Champaign Islands] where fish and dragons are mixed. A 'four-star bounty hunter' is enough to be considered a powerful person!
Many people have also wondered why the 'Glinton Merchant Group' was able to hire a 'four-star bounty hunter' who followed the business group as a guardian for a long time.
Although the 'Glinton Merchant Group' is somewhat famous here [Sentine Island], it is just a businessman at best. The combined value of the entire business group may not be able to join a 'four-star bounty hunter' You are right, there is something fishy about this matter.
In this regard, someone has made a dark guess that the new owner of the business group must have somehow charmed the 'Scar' Morton and beguiled him to protect the business group.
But these are just hostile speculations.
The truth of the matter is actually very simple.
To repay a favor.
Morton may not be a good guy, but he is definitely a person with clear grudges.
He once had his life saved by someone, but he wanted to repay this kindness, but he couldn't find a way, and finally chose such a curved way to repay his kindness.
Because the man who saved his life had some involvement with the new owner of the business group.
This may sound a bit strange, but Morton always follows his heart, not so much what is reasonable or not. Otherwise, with his strength, no matter what force he joins, he will probably be able to get a good position, but he chose to be a bounty hunter, and that's it.
However, the 'Glinton Business Group' has encountered some troubles recently.
Even with Morton's protection, there is still the danger of destruction.
…
"Miss Angela, you have to make a decision. Judging from the information I have received, although this 'Baroque Studio' has just been established, it is very difficult to mess with. Just on the surface. Some middle-level cadres are already in great trouble... I suspect there are more powerful guys behind the scenes. If you are not willing to compromise, miss, we will have to change a route. It will be too dangerous to continue to [Shengting Island]. "'Scar' Morton said seriously.
Opposite 'Scar' Morton is the blue-haired girl Angela who looks to have grown up a lot. Compared to a few years ago, she has really grown up now.
Hearing Morton's words, she said in a low voice, "However, if we agree to their conditions, the profits from each of our business trips will not be enough to support the continued existence of the trade group..."
"Then let's give up on [Shengting Island]. Although they are not easy to mess with, after all, they are just powerful here on [Shengting Island]. As long as we don't come here, they can't do anything to us." Scar Morton said again.
"no!"
This time, the blue-haired girl refused directly with some excitement.
She was a little submissive before, but at this moment she became a little determined, "[Shengting Island] I will not give up!"
'Scar' Morton heard this and sighed, "Miss, haven't you given up yet?"
"Uncle Morton said it yourself back then. He would never lie to me. Have you forgotten?" The blue-haired girl was a little angry.
"What I said is correct, but..."
Bang——! !
Before Morton could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a loud noise outside the cabin.
He frowned slightly and said to the blue-haired girl, "Miss, wait a moment, I'll go see what's going on."
"I'll go too, wait for me." The blue-haired girl saw Morton walking out quickly and followed him.
When the two came outside the cabin, they saw that the business group guards on the deck had fallen to the ground. In front of the guards, there were two strange figures standing on the deck.
Standing on the left is a black man with an afro, wearing sunglasses and a windbreaker, who looks like a rock star. He is picking his nostrils without any image; standing on the right is a girl with blue hair who does not look like a blue-haired girl. The fashionable woman wearing a little yellow hat under Angela is petite and pretty, with two earrings that look like lemon slices and a smile on her face.
"Who are you!" As soon as Morton saw the formation, he knew that the attacker was evil. His hand was already on the handle of the sword at his waist, ready to draw the sword and fight at any time.
Angela also noticed something was wrong after following him out, stopped moving forward, and hid behind Morton.
"You are the famous bounty hunter, Scar Morton, right?" The fashionable woman covered her mouth and smiled lightly, looking very casual.
"That's right." Morton didn't dare to be careless, because the two people in front of him gave him a very unusual feeling.
"Let me introduce myself, we are people from 'Baroque Studio', I am 'miss.Valentine', this is my partner 'mr.5', um, that's it."
"'Baroque Studio', it's you again!" After learning the identities of these two people, Morton became more and more vigilant. He knew that these two people must have come with bad intentions. After thinking about it, he asked, "I came here to deliver a message last time. What’s the relationship between Mr.11 and you?”
"We can be regarded as accomplices, but please don't compare that kind of trash with us. After all, they are just low-level cadres who don't even have devil fruit abilities. At most, they are only a little better than the minions. It’s not worth mentioning~~~” The fashionable woman covered her mouth and smiled.
In other words, these two people in front of me are both Devil Fruit users?
Morton's fear became more and more serious!
When the 'mr.11' came last time, although he felt that the opponent's strength was pretty good, he was still confident that he could kill the opponent. After all, he was not an ordinary person!
But the two people in front of him at this moment made him feel that he might be invincible...
Especially judging from what this fashionable woman just said, they have the strength to look down on the 'MR.11' last time, which is enough to infer a lot.
Of course, the possibility of the other party's bluffing cannot be ruled out.
But from Morton's perspective, this possibility is relatively small. (To be continued.).
