Chapter 1356: Armed Negotiations
A drunken pirate went straight to the Disco.
The pungent smell of alcohol made Disco frown.
— Watch where you're going, " Disko growled. In any other situation, he would have sent one of his own men to have this drunkard collared and sold at auction, but now wasn't the right time to do that.
The drunken pirate, holding a bottle of rum in his hand, looked at Disco with bleary eyes. After a moment his face twisted slightly and he retreated to the side of the street.
— Starved, " Disko said, and grinned, then walked on.
Cracks appeared on the bottle in the pirate's hand. Disco was a real bastard, but there was nothing he could do about it.
Like a rooster that had just won a battle, Disco walked away with a satisfied expression on his face.
A pirate standing by the side of the street chuckled. If there ever comes a day when Disco loses all its power, he will definitely be the first person to chop it to pieces.
Disko led his men across the 30 island straight to 70.
When he arrived at his destination, he was already sweating profusely. From his rapid breathing, it was obvious that he was very weak.
— Sir, why didn't we use the car... " the guard at his side whispered. Because they had decided to spend so much time walking on their own two feet, and he was wearing very heavy armor, his back was starting to ache.
— You don't understand anything, " Disko said, and started to tidy up his clothes, and even though sweat was still covering his face, he walked towards the hotel at a fairly fast pace.
When Disco entered the hotel, there were a dozen pirates on the ground floor, talking loudly and laughing.
The first floor of this hotel was a combination restaurant and pub, while the second and third floors were designed for recreation.
A mixture of sweat and cheap alcohol hit him in the face and made him frown. He was about to curse, but quickly calmed down. The person he was supposed to meet this time wasn't a good one. He was a ruthless assassin who fought against the Four Emperors alongside his boss.
In a room on the third floor of the hotel, Su Xiao was sitting cross-legged on the bed. Dragon Flash was lying flat on his feet. Not far from it was a small Bun. If she were to tell others that she had already lost 11,200 Paradise Coins to the dog, no one would definitely believe it.
*Knock, knock, knock...*
A knock on the door interrupted Su Xiao's meditation. Opening his eyes, he put the Dragon Flash in his inventory, picked up a bloodstained shirt from the bed, and casually put it on.
— Log in.
The door immediately opened and Disco walked in with a big smile on his face.
— Mr. Byakuya, nice to meet you, I'm Disco, " Disco said. His guards stayed outside and closed the door behind him. — You are...
— I need an appraiser Todd Anderson.
— Mr. Byakuya, wait a minute, " Disko replied, took out at least five Dan Dan Musi from his pocket, and started quickly learning about Todd Anderson.
— Todd Anderson, a forty-nine-year-old man, bought two slaves six months ago....
Su Xiao waved his hand. He wasn't interested in Todd Anderson's personal life. "Tell me where he is now.
— On the thirty-fifth island, due to the chaos on the twenty-first island, he moved into the house of one of his mistresses...
Although Disko wasn't a very good person, he worked very well.
— Maybe... Should I contact him first? He is known for his arrogance and claims to be the best appraiser in the Sabaodi Archipelago..
— There's no need for that, " Su Xiao replied as he stood up and left the room.
Disko raised his hand as if to say something, but in the end, he didn't say anything and left the hotel with his men.
Su Xiao left with Bubtney. As for Little Bun, they only signed a temporary contract and weren't comrades from the same guild. She naturally decided not to go after Su Xiao. If there was one thing she wanted from him, it was information about how Bubtney had managed to outplay her in the first place.
Bubtney liked to pretend to be stupid, but he wasn't stupid. Stupidity and stupidity were not the same thing. Little bun had obviously picked the wrong opponent. Among the three, she had to choose only Ama, for he was the most honest of them all.
After circling the archipelago, Su Xiao finally arrived at the 35th island. According to Disco, Todd Anderson was staying at his mistress's house, but the problem was that Todd had seven mistresses.
Although he was no longer young, he was quite resilient. Todd was almost fifty, but his wife was less than thirty. In addition to his wife, he also had a considerable number of mistresses… He was definitely a very busy man.
----
In a two-story residential building.
— I've been very busy lately. What do you want? A middle-aged man wearing pajamas and a mustache on his chin asked as he sat in a rocking chair with a newspaper in his hand.
Next to him, on the table, was a steaming cup of black tea.
This middle-aged man was Todd Anderson.
— I want you to check out one of the guns, " Su Xiao replied as he looked around the room.
Just like Disco said, Todd Anderson was very arrogant. Even though Su Xiao was his guest, he didn't even invite him to sit down.
— I've been very busy lately. Come back in half a month, " Todd Anderson said after taking a good look at Su Xiao. He realized that Su Xiao wasn't a big shot in the archipelago, so he immediately turned his attention to the newspaper after refusing.
Hearing Todd's answer, Bubtney sighed and silently headed for the door.
He wasn't going to leave, he wanted to lock the door just in case.
After a few seconds, Todd frowned. If a guest had heard such an answer in the past, they would have left immediately and arrived at the appointed time.
He hadn't been feeling very well lately. His business on 21 islands was destroyed. He not only lost a lot of money, but also miraculously managed to get out of there alive.
There was a sudden flash of light in front of Todd's eyes and half the newspaper fell to the floor.
— You... what are you doing... " Todd muttered, feeling a burning pain in his neck, and his body gradually tensed up.
— You have ten minutes, " Su Xiao replied, and tossed Roger's gun to Todd.
Instinctively catching it and looking at it just once, his expression immediately changed.
After a few minutes, Su Xiao put Roger's gun away.
— How much do I charge for the rating?
— It's free this time, " Todd said, and swallowed. Right now, he didn't even dare to raise his hand and wipe the blood from his neck.
Putting a sword to my neck was a more reliable and quick option than negotiating, relying on my charisma.
Even now, when Su Xiao had 30 charisma points, talking didn't give him any profit. It wasn't until he put the sword to Todd's neck that he immediately became very accommodating and even decided not to charge him for conducting the assessment himself.
When Su Xiao went to the exit, he decided to walk him straight to the door without any mention.
On the street, Su Xiao took a look at the characteristics of Roger's pistol and realized that it was a little special.
As long as he was in this world, this gun was only suitable for exchanging 10,000 Pirate reputation Points.
But after Su Xiao returns to Paradise, this gun will be unlocked and can become an ordinary weapon..
So far, Su Xiao wasn't going to trade Roger's gun for his reputation. Best of all, he would trade it for his reputation just before he left, which was a very safe and logical option.
