Chapter 194: money first

Chapter 194 Money is supreme
Lafayette and Jaya, who dealt with the attackers, returned to Maude one after another.
They glanced at the bodies of the three Malet brothers lying on the street, but did not respond.
From the moment Maude was offered a reward by the Navy, things like this kind of door-to-door trouble shooting would only happen endlessly.
Needless to say, the navy, like bounty hunters, and even those peers who see money, want Mord’s heads worth over 100 million.
"Only about three hundred thousand."
Lafayette raised the thick stack of banknotes in his hand. The largest banknote in it was 2000.
He chased and killed 19 people, but only about 300,000 Pele was found.
This shows how poor this group of attackers are trying to win the Maud bounty.
In fact, most pirates and bounty hunters are not rich.
They have been licking blood on the tip of the knife for many years, and they don't know which one will come first tomorrow or the accident.
In this environment, once they "earn" money, they will only spend the first time for fun.
Of course, there are also some pirates who like to "store" the looted treasures on remote and uninhabited islands, or use them to constantly grow their team.
As for bounty hunters, as long as they reach their age, they will also start saving for retirement.
Therefore, if you want to maximize the benefits of black eating black, it is best to find some famous pirate groups to start.
"Really little, barely enough for one meal."
Maude glanced at the trophy in Lafayette's hand and shook his head slightly.
"Are you going to have dinner?"
Bailey, who was lying on Jim's bald head, lit up when he heard the word eating.
Maude ignored the energetic Bailey, and turned to look at Betty who shivered and held Jim's thigh.
"Betty, is there a pirate business in the city?"
"Yes, yes, but it's messy and dangerous there."
"Then you dare to take us there?"
Maude looked at Betty as his emotions gradually calmed down with a smile in his eyes.
Betty hesitated, then nodded.
He didn't want to lose Maud, a quality customer.
"Lead the way."
Maude smiled.
Going to a tavern that specializes in pirate business is of course not purely for eating and drinking, but to find out which pirate groups are suitable for starting in Dick City.
Although this is not an impossible place, it does not hinder Maude's idea of ​​getting some money from his colleagues.
After all the talents walked out of the way, they saw a heavily armed army coming in mighty and mighty forces.
This army was marching in formation, and the clanging sound made by the iron armor bumps, which made this army exude a mighty and extraordinary aura.
Seeing a hundred troops coming from the front, Betty, who led the way, couldn't help stopping.
When facing the army, he was calmer if he didn't break the law, and at the same time he knew the army's motives for coming here.
"Brother Maud..."
Betty looked back at Maude timidly.
Maude didn't say anything, and took a few steps forward, past Betty, blocking the army's scrutiny gaze.
The head of the army is a middle-aged man wearing silver armor and holding a double-edged axe.
He was examining Maude, and after a few glances, he immediately recognized Maude's identity.
Bacardi Maud, offering a reward of 100 million...
The middle-aged man's heart condensed.
The number of bounty is the only criterion used by these soldiers to judge the strength of a pirate.
The pirates with more than 100 million are worthy of attention.
While the middle-aged man looked at Maud, Maud was also looking at the middle-aged man.
The strength is okay.
After judging the background of the middle-aged man, Maude glanced at the rest of the soldiers from the corner of his eye.
These soldiers are not fancy, they are much better than the trash pirates they usually encounter.
With these elite soldiers present, it is no wonder that the Kingdom of Ahab dared to receive pirates.
After all, strength is the capital that can be messed up.
Maude sighed in his heart.
Both sides looked at each other, and neither spoke.
A few seconds later, an armored soldier came to the middle-aged man and said in a low voice: "Captain Matthew, the one killed was the three bounty hunter Marlet Brothers."
The middle-aged man called Matthew nodded when he heard the words, and immediately stared at Maude, with a solemn expression: "You murdered in the street and violated Article 9 of the Regulations. You should be punished as a crime."
"Oh?"
Maude looked at Matthew with interest.
Directly declare the crime regardless of the reason, which shows the hegemony of the army of the Ahab Kingdom in maintaining order.
"and then?"
Maude looked calm.
Matthew did not feel weak because Maude was a big pirate who offered a reward of over 100 million yuan. He said coldly:
"You have two options, one is to be punished and serve 60 days of labor, and the other is to pay two million Baileys for exemption."
"..."
Maude was silent upon hearing this.
Lafayette Jaya and others looked surprised.
So, the existence of such penal regulations is to make money, right?
And human lives are worth two million Baileys?
Or, because the deceased was a bounty hunter from outside the island, the conviction would be so hasty?
If this is the case, it is no wonder that the so-called three Marlet brothers dared to do it in the street.
After all, compared to the high bounty, the six million Baileys exemption money is really nothing.
Such speculation is close to the truth.
If the people killed are the people of the country, the penalty standard must be increased more than three times.
Also, because the perpetrator was a pirate, Matthew didn't even plan to investigate the cause of this incident.
The fine is over.
Afterwards, according to the information recorded in the [name book], go to the residence of the three Marlet brothers to take over the [heritage] left by them.
All in all, everything is in line with money.
This is the truth laid down by the great king.
"Haha."
After a while, Maude laughed out loud.
The Ahab country on Leviathan Island is quite interesting. The Ahab Kingdom that has never met before, who has made these rules, does not seem to be ordinary people.
Country...
In this way, you can collect money even while sitting.
Seeing Maude who laughed out loud, the army soldiers and even Matthew had displeased eyes.
Maude slowly stopped the laughter, and pulled out the Chidori with a loud sound.
Wow!
The act of drawing the sword made the well-trained soldiers draw out their weapons for the first time.
Maude crossed the sword in front of him, calmly watching the guards of soldiers.
If this group of soldiers enforcing the royal power took a little time to ask the reason before declaring the crime, or if they were more polite, then Maude wouldn't draw his sword directly.
He will be scrupulous about the new ship, but it does not mean that he will be soft to this group of soldiers.
"What if I don't choose?"
Maude's eyes were like knives, passing a group of soldiers.
The vigorous momentum, like a large amount of blood slamming on the soldiers, made them feel a sense of heavy lead inexplicably.
"This guy……"
Matthew's face changed.
Only when he felt the "bloody smell" full of aura head-on, this sergeant with a level of 100 or more slashed deeply felt the horror of Maude.
Not strength, but the aura poured out by life and blood.
The person in front of him is really a ruthless person who will slaughter the town out!
"Captain Matthew, what are you doing?!"
When the arrow was drawn, an angry voice came.
Everyone followed the sound, but it was Keynes who came in a hurry.
"Master Keynes."
Matthew looked at the visitor, bowed and saluted, acting very polite.
You know, Thomas Shipyard can create a lot of income for the Kingdom of Ahab every year, so it is deeply loved by the king who attaches great importance to money, and even developed into marriage...
Keynes glanced coldly at the soldier who showed his weapon, and finally looked at Matthew, and said in a deep voice:
"This Mr. Maud is a distinguished guest of our Thomas Shipyard. I don't care what happens here, but you have to pay for your faux pas."
"..."
Matthew's eyes changed slightly, and he raised his hand to make a gesture for the soldiers to put away their weapons.
Afterwards, Matthew decisively removed his helmet and made an unexpected move.
He actually knelt down to Maude on one knee.
Immediately afterwards, the soldiers behind him made the same move.
On both sides of the long street, the residents who continued to pay attention to this side watched this scene incredible.
Keynes did not respond.
According to the rules set by the greedy king, if the interests are damaged, let alone kneel and apologize, there is no hesitation in cutting off the heads of this group of soldiers.
The Kingdom of Ahab, under the rule of that greedy king, is such a money-supreme country
Knowing the roots is like Keynes, and it is normal for Matthew and other soldiers to kneel and apologize.
However, even the surrounding residents found it incredible, let alone Maude and others who were outsiders.
"This……"
Maude looked at Matthew, who was kneeling on one knee, and waiting for the soldiers in surprise.
this country……
what's going on.
