You Know Nothing About Pain
Page 525
Looking at Naruto on the opposite side, the innkeeper knew that if he didn't tell the truth, today would definitely be difficult, so he could only smile wryly and say:
"This guest, it's not that you are holding something that they care about, but that you are the people themselves. In their eyes, you are the meat and potatoes."
"Oh?" Naruto raised his eyebrows and said, "Can you tell me in detail?"
"it's actually really easy."
The innkeeper drank the wine in his glass and said with a long breath:
"There are no rules on this island, or there is only one rule, and that is interests.
In the eyes of the people on the island, you thirteen or fourteen-year-old young people are like banknotes that can walk.
If you are in your hands, whether you sell it as a slave or use it to drive yourself, it will be a good deal with no profit at all.
You should also understand that in the market of human beings, this kind of thirteen or fourteen-year-old young and energetic teenagers are the most sought-after. "
To put it bluntly, human beings are one of the most valuable goods, because only human beings can work, and with labor, valuable things can be created.
More importantly, human trafficking is a cost-free business. You don't need to pay any capital, and you only need a lot of effort to capture enough goods.
Even in those countries with strict management in the mainland, human trafficking is repeatedly prohibited, and it is said that in the country of the vortex, which is a three-way zone, human trafficking is so rampant that it appears in the public market openly.
"Is it human trafficking....It's about the same as I thought..."
Naruto nodded calmly, took a sip of his wine, and then said:
"Then boss, do you think that the guys who have been wandering around us these days are all subordinates of those forces?"
"this....."
To be honest, this question is a bit sensitive. The boss hesitated for a moment, and finally, under the pressure of Naruto's strong aura, he had to say:
"The most likely ones are the gangs of outsiders. After all, they control nearly [-]% of the island's population trading business, and they basically don't care about meat and vegetables.
The Qingshui Chamber of Commerce is also possible. After all, they occasionally act as human traffickers, but they have relatively high requirements for the quality of the goods. Generally, they want young and beautiful girls, or handsome boys, and sell them to princes and nobles in other places. enjoy.
Then there are some medium-sized forces who want to share their soup. There are many, such as the Wild Wolf Gang, the Sea Whale Club, the Baldhead Gang, and a long list of names.
The most unlikely thing is the local forces composed of local people. They have been hiding in their own territory and have never been interested in this aspect of things. "
"Outsider gang... and the Shimizu Chamber of Commerce..."
Naruto nodded thoughtfully, then looked at the innkeeper opposite and said, "Thank you for your answer, I have one last question."
As soon as Naruto said the last question, the innkeeper's heart skipped a beat. He knew that the last question might be the real purpose of the other party, but the words have already been said, and now he can only bite the bullet and listen. up.
"Actually, we came here this time mainly to find a good place to settle down."
Naruto leaned gently on the back of the chair behind him, looked down at the reflection in the wine glass, the lower half of his face was buried in the shadow, and said slowly to the innkeeper:
"We just want to find a place where we can live in peace, we don't want to compete with anyone, and we don't want to grab anyone's interests.
If the time is right in the future, maybe we can still work together.
This request should not be too much, right? "
"Not too much, not too much."
Hearing Naruto's words, the innkeeper nodded quickly and said, "It's really not too much to say something."
However, although the hotel owner promised very diligently, he began to complain in his heart.
I believe you ghost oh.
How many people have you killed in the past few days, and you still say that you just want to live a good life.
The guy leaning against the wall next to him looked young and gentle, but who would have thought that he would be so murderous. In just a few days, more than a dozen people had already died.
The most important thing is that this guy is not just talking about it, he really killed these people, and every time he comes back, he looks unscathed, even his hairstyle is not messed up.
This is a bit scary, showing that this young man of thirteen or fourteen years old can crush the group of guys from outside.
If the first day could explain that the guys out there were taking it lightly, but three days in a row, that's enough to explain a lot.
So you said that you came here to live a good life, and why you can cooperate if you have the opportunity in the future. Judging from the performance of the past few days, the hotel owner doesn't see at all that you are ready to cooperate well.
Now that he understands these things, it is even less likely that the innkeeper will talk too much to Naruto.
Because they will inevitably break out violent conflicts with other forces on the island. If it is known that they have provided information to this group of newcomers, then those forces on the island who have suffered will definitely come to trouble the innkeeper. Well, the innkeeper may not be in danger of life, but this hotel must not be opened.
So the innkeeper made a look of embarrassment, took a sip of wine, looked at Naruto with a wry smile and said:
"You are really giving me a problem. If there is any suitable place for people to settle on this island, it has already been taken by other people. How can I wait until you come to take it over.
Although there are not many people on this island, there are always tens of thousands of people, and everyone competes for territory based on their own strength.
The good sites have been snatched up long ago, and the rest are some places that no one wants. If you don't mind, I can tell you a few places to go. "
"A place no one wants?"
Listening to the innkeeper's words, Naruto's expression didn't change, he just said with a smile:
"Why, boss, do you think we are like people picking up trash?"
"No, no, of course not."
When the innkeeper heard Naruto's words, he broke out in a cold sweat, stood up excitedly, waved his hands and said:
"Didn't you just say that you don't want to conflict with the people on the island.
But now it is true that all the good places have been taken by people, if you don't compete with people for the territory, then there are indeed only some places that no one wants left..."
"What the boss said seems to have some truth..."
Regarding the innkeeper's answer, Naruto didn't continue to say anything, but nodded and said with a look of understanding:
"Well, we're not the kind of unreasonable people... If that's the case..."
Hearing Naruto's words, the innkeeper heaved a sigh of relief, thinking that he had finally dealt with it, and when he was about to praise his wit, Naruto's next words made him turn pale with shock.
"Since that's the case, let's stay here until we find a place we like to live in."
After Naruto finished speaking, he turned his head and said to Hase Ryusheng behind him, "How much money do we still have in our account, and how long can we stay in the hotel?"
"Please rest assured, Naruto-sama."
Hase Ryusheng naturally understood what Naruto meant in an instant, a smile flashed in his eyes, and he said to Naruto with a serious expression:
"We have enough funds in our account to live here for several years."
"That's good."
Hearing Hase Ryusheng's answer, Naruto nodded in satisfaction and said:
"Remember to give the house rent to the boss in advance. He answered so many questions for us today, so we can't treat him badly with money."
Hearing the conversation between Naruto and Ryuu Hase, the innkeeper's expression changed instantly, but before he could say anything, Naruto turned his head and looked at Sasuke who was beside him.
"Sasuke, I will continue to ask you to keep the hotel safe in the future."
Naruto looked at Sasuke with a smile and said, "I believe you will be fine."
"of course."
Sasuke also saw Naruto's meaning, and deliberately sneered a bloodthirsty sneer at the corner of his mouth, half exaggerating and half seriously saying:
"If you agree, I can guarantee that no suspicious person will appear within a three-mile radius. If there is one, I will kill one."
Seeing Sasuke with a murderous look on his body, the innkeeper knew that the other party was definitely not hilarious, but really did such a thing, and he felt a little bad all of a sudden.
If things really develop to the extent that Naruto said, then the innkeeper can start thinking about packing his luggage and running away, let alone continue to open the store.
None of the forces that can survive on this island is good. Usually, when two gangs merge, dozens of people die. If it is a merger between large gangs, how many people die? Hundreds of people are possible.
And Naruto's behavior of killing without asking anything is undoubtedly a great provocation to them in the eyes of the island forces.
In the past few days, only a dozen people died, and when they were distributed to various forces, only a few people died in each force, which was far from reaching the limit of their patience.
Moreover, the forces on the island have not yet found out the details of Naruto and the others, so they have not acted rashly.
But if this kind of killing continues, then the forces on the island will not be patient forever, and they will definitely fight Naruto and the others.
This kind of conflict will not stop until Naruto completely hurts the forces on the island and makes them realize how powerful they are, or until Naruto and the others are defeated and divided up by the forces on the island.
However, the innkeeper felt that his inn probably wouldn't last until the conflict stopped, and that it might be demolished by the forces on the island before the big conflict started.
Moreover, the innkeeper himself will also be regarded as a member of Naruto's group, and will become a thorn in the side of the island forces.
The innkeeper knew that the power on the island would definitely dig out his background, and then used himself as a breakthrough, all kinds of threats and lures came up together to force himself to submit.
Therefore, the innkeeper must not let Naruto and the others stay here, otherwise he will really not be able to survive on this island.
But it is impossible for the hotel owner to drive Naruto and the others out. The forces on the island can't afford to provoke them. Could it be that Naruto and the hotel owners can?
For a while, the innkeeper was anxious like ants on a hot pot.
Naruto, on the other hand, sat leisurely on the chair, lowered his head and lightly sipped the snow wine in the wine glass, not showing any signs of anxiety at all, quietly waiting for the innkeeper's reply.
Naruto knew that the innkeeper should be the most anxious now. If the other party wants to continue to hang out on the island, he must put away his old-fashioned behavior and tell him all the information honestly.
As long as the other party stopped playing tricks and talked to him about it, then even if there was still no useful information in the end, Naruto would not continue to embarrass the innkeeper. "for this I......"
The innkeeper was sweating profusely, and then suddenly had a flash of inspiration, as if he had grasped some life-saving straw, he rushed to Naruto and said:
"I remembered, there is a place!
There might be something for you! "
"Oh?"
Seeing that the innkeeper really thought of it, Naruto Shi Shiran put down the wine glass in his hand, looked at the innkeeper with interest and said:
"Where is it, tell me."
"It's in the middle of the island, a swamp near the mountains."
The innkeeper said hastily;
"Although it is a swamp, less than half of it is a swamp, and the rest is flat land, which is very suitable for growing food and living.
Moreover, it has a large area and abundant fresh water resources. Not to mention you have more than 200 people, even ten times the population can accommodate it! "
"Is there such a good place?"
Hearing the innkeeper's words, Naruto didn't show any joy, but looked at him with a smile and said:
"But didn't you just say that the good places have long been occupied by the forces on the island, and it's not our turn to take over.
