Chapter 17: Hatred

Chapter 17 Enmity
The harvest tonight makes Maude satisfied.
About fifteen times the physique of an ordinary person, as well as the original physical skills, plus a highly lethal smooth-bore flintlock within fifty meters.
With such capital, there should be no problem going to the streets.
But if there is a conflict with people, this self-protection ability is still not enough.
In such thinking, Maude fell into a deep sleep.
From the beginning to the end, he didn't know that Saul and Sunny saw the hunt tonight.
The next day.
As dawn broke, the two corpses in the tunnel had been moved, leaving only a pool of dry blood.
The nearby residents came and went in the lanes, but turned a blind eye to the blood on the wall.
Although this is a residential area, the residents living here are basically pirates and people from the underground world, and they are accustomed to this kind of attack.
Therefore, even if the two corpses were still there, they would at most just glance at them when passing by, and then they would not take it seriously.
After the weapon shop opened, Maude took a few steps to watch the "homicide" scene from a distance.
Although it is not clear who took the corpse, Maude was not too concerned.
Regarding the actions last night, he is confident that he will not be discovered.
Furthermore, the pirate group Reid is in will go to sea after noon.
Reid is just a combatant in the pirate regiment, and he will die if he dies. As long as the funds are sufficient, the pirate regiment can recruit a group of replacements in Mad Hatter at any time.
Therefore, Maude didn't think that the Pirate Group would temporarily change its itinerary because of Reid's death.
Unless the other unidentified person will be more important than Reid, important enough for the captain of the Pirate Regiment to take it seriously.
This possibility should be very low.
Maude thought.
He glanced at the passers-by in the laneway, his eyes seemed to be staring at pieces of walking pork.
Withdrawing his aggressive gaze without a trace, Maude returned to the weapon shop and began his routine exercise.
He had noticed that Sonny was wrong, and looked as if he was in a dull mood.
I think women will have so many days every month...
Maude didn't want to get rid of the bad, squatting in the corner of the store, doing a group of exercises.
"There are still seven days before the auction begins..."
Soon, Maude's thoughts drifted to the next prey.
In the information provided by Sunny, there are quite a few suitable prey.
However, you have to wait for two days before doing it.
After all, it is necessary to lower the hunting frequency to reduce the risk of being discovered.
…………
Port of Mad Hatter Town.
Pirate boats of various sizes are anchored in the huge open "U"-shaped bay.
The Point Bull Pirate Ship that Reid was on was also among them, and it was a small brig.
When it was time to set sail, the members of the Jianniu Pirate Group had completed the assembly early and were fully prepared to set sail.
On the deck of the pirate ship, several pirates walked slowly back and forth, seeming to be responsible for guard work.
In the cabin, the rest of the pirates, including the captain, are all here.
They formed a circle. There was a table in the center on which lay two cold and stiff bodies.
Captain Katzt, wearing a double-horned helmet and a bushy beard, stood by the table.
He stared down at the corpse, looking like a volcano about to erupt.
The wide-open eyes were full of bloodshot eyes, and the breath exhaling from his mouth and nose seemed to be infected with a layer of killing intent.
Under the influence of Katzt, there was an atmosphere of killing in the cabin.
Under the influence of the atmosphere, most crew members have a solemn expression, and some crew members are just pretending to match the atmosphere in the cabin.
After a while, as the door was pushed open, the atmosphere in the cabin became frozen.
Katzt looked at the hatch, and the crowd voluntarily let out a gap.
A cadre with a long knife at his waist pushed in, strode through the gap in the crowd, and came to Katzt.
Katzt stared at him closely and asked coldly: "How?"
The cadre named Raglan shook his head and said, "Nothing was found."
"Huh? Not even a clue?"
"Yes."
Raglan's face was calm.
A gloomy color flashed in Katzt's eyes.
Something happened at the knot, which made him extremely upset.
Seeing his captain's anger, Raglan reminded him in good time: "Captain, we have to come back before the auction. There is not much time to delay."
"You don't need to remind me."
Katzte said with an angry look, "Raglan, I want you to stay and solve this."
"understand."
Raglan takes the command.
A few minutes later, the Jianniu Pirate Ship slowly left the port.
On the eve of the auction, most of the foreign pirate ships sailed into the port to anchor, and rare pirate ships chose to sail at this time.
Many pirates in the harbor couldn't help but glance at the Pointy Bull Pirate Ship.
Raglan, who was ordered to stay, watched the pirate ship go away until the pirate ship turned into a small black spot with a bag of money on his waist before turning and walking towards the town.
Among the two crew members killed last night, one was a navigator who had been trained in the Pirate Group for two years.
If only one combatant was killed, it wouldn't be enough to work this kind of knotty eyes.
But the navigator is different, it is one of the important capitals to the great sea route.
So, even if there was a more experienced navigator on board, Katzt couldn't swallow this breath anyway.
Raglan can understand the captain's mood, which is one of the reasons why he is willing to stay and do this.
Of course, he was actually more inclined to set sail in his heart. After all, the goal of this set sail was a big prey that could not be missed from time to time and never came.
A big prey like that would have a pretty wonderful plundering experience.
"Pity."
Raglan thought regretfully.
Half an hour later, he came to Pub Street.
Looking not at the large pubs on both sides of the street, but in the direction of the alley.
Through the flow of people, walk into a certain laneway between houses.
After walking through the alley for more than ten minutes, Raglan stopped in front of a bar.
He looked at the oil lamp made of skulls hanging on the wall, then pushed open the door of the bar and walked in.
Inside the bar, a bartender who was wiping a cup glanced at Raglan who walked in, but did not say hello.
Raglan glanced at the dimly lit bar, and there was no half of the guests.
He retracted his gaze, turned to the bartender in the bar, and asked, "Is the wolf rat out?"
"..."
The bartender gave Raglan a silent look, and put the wiped glass on the hanger.
Raglan frowned, and when he was about to speak, a cold voice suddenly came from behind him.
"I've always been there."
Listening to the sudden voice, Raglan's face changed drastically.
When……?
Apart from the emotional shock, Raglan took several steps forward, then quickly turned to look at the sound source.
At the same time, his right hand was already climbing the hilt of the knife, making a pose that he could attack at any time.
When he saw that the speaker was a thin man with sharp eyebrows and sharp mouth, he couldn't help but stunned.
"You are... a wolf rat?"
