Chapter 709: A clear stream in the pirate world

Meteorite City, villa area.
"Whhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
"Dad, I'm afraid!" a three or four-year-old girl whispered while holding her father's thigh.
"Don't be afraid or not!" The middle-aged man picked up the little girl and looked sadly at the meteors and various aircraft that were constantly passing by through the French windows.
Meteorite City, this is a very prosperous commercial city on the third planetary subcontinent of Broly.
It is said that a meteorite fell thousands of years ago and a huge crater was formed here. Unexpectedly, the energy crystal mine buried deep underground was fortunately smashed, triggering a gold rush and making the city prosperous for hundreds of years.
Although the minerals have been exhausted, the foundation is still there. It is still one of the best prosperous cities on the entire planet, but this time it also suffered a disaster.
"Antonio! What shall we do?" The beautiful wife leaned over and hugged her husband tightly, her face a little frightened.
"It's okay! The pirates' goal should be the port, wharf and material warehouse. We are safe here. Those pirates don't want to anger the empire, so they won't kill." Antonio comforted, but his face was a little sad. There is no reduction.
He runs a large-scale interstellar transportation company in Meteorite City. Although he is inferior to the top powers who have been informed of the withdrawal in advance, he has small assets.
After struggling for half a lifetime, he finally bought real estate in this rich man's villa area, married a sweet wife, and had a caring little padded jacket.
I thought that life was about to enter the fast lane, but he did not expect that his company was looted several transport ships in the last pirate disaster, and he also lost a lot of money to the customer, which can be described as a heavy loss.
It hasn't been relieved from the last loss. This time it was even worse. The pirates blocked the airport, and even he himself was blocked on the planet, and the safety of the whole family was threatened.
"DaDaDa!" "Boom!"
At this moment, a fierce firefight suddenly sounded in the distance, and the light of an explosion came from not far away.
Antonio suddenly became nervous.
The villa area is high and has a wide view. They looked towards the position of the fire and found that two mechas belonging to the Locke Consortium Guard were chasing down several pirate invaders, which seemed to have the upper hand.
There were a lot of pirates, but they were all light-weight single-soldier power armors, which were incomparable with this kind of land combat mecha.
But before the ordinary citizens who saw this scene cheered and cheered, they saw two thick red beams shooting from the sky, and the strong light instantly pierced the clouds!
"Boom! Boom!" With two explosions, the two heroes who had resisted bravely in the eyes of the citizens were directly vaporized.
This ruthless scene immediately extinguished the eager resistance of many people.
Although the pirates who descended from the air did not bring any heavy weapons, for the pirates who had completely mastered the air supremacy, the Marine Corps' role was a tool man and a locator.
If you can't beat it, just call the naval gun directly, simple and rude!
Each tactical helmet of the pirate marines has built-in optical positioning devices, and all enemies in the field of vision may suffer relentless strikes from the high-altitude orbit of the planet at any time.
War situations such as 10,000 mecha wars, tank wars, and star wars basically only exist in science fiction movies. In reality, the party that controls the orbit has an absolute advantage. There is no need to airdrop a large number of mechas and heavy firepower to play with the other party. What a battle for the surface of the planet.
"This is the Broken Star Pirate Alliance. I would like to tell you to give up resistance and don't make unnecessary sacrifices. We only ask for money, not hurt people, not kill, and civilized robbery. Start with you and me!"
Antonio and his wife looked at each other.
This persuasion warning... Why does it sound like a drama?
The voices from the city radio reverberated through most of the city and kept repeating.
Obviously, the city hall has been occupied by the pirates.
"Husband, this is a rich area. It will definitely be looted by the pirates. Otherwise, let's take our daughter out of here first?"
Antonio hesitated for a moment, but shook his head lightly, "Now that people are panicking outside, law and order have failed, and mobs are everywhere, it's not necessarily safer than here."
"Ding Dong!" At this moment, the doorbell in the room rang.
The scene outside the door automatically appeared on the electronic screen, but it surprised the two of them.
"Sea... Pirate!" his wife exclaimed.
Outside the door were two heavily armed pirates.
"What...what should I do?" The wife hugged her daughter tightly, her face flustered.
"Don't panic! Don't panic!" A cold sweat appeared on Antonio's forehead, crying inwardly.
I touched the energy pistol on his waist, and felt a little more rested, but then looked at the two pirates armed to the teeth outside, and the courage I had just mentioned disappeared immediately.
Compared with the defense of the opponent's armor, this on his waist can only be regarded as a laser pointer. Could it be used to dazzle the opponent's eyes?
"Ding dong ding dong ding dong~" After a long time no response, the pirate outside seemed a little impatient, and even rang the doorbell.
One of the pirates seemed a little angry and was about to smash the door with a gun, but was stopped by another pirate.
"I'll open the door! You hide in the closet first!" Antonio gritted his teeth when he saw it.
"Don't! It's too dangerous!"
"Don't worry, according to what they said, you shouldn't kill people casually. Besides, have you ever seen a pirate who robbed and ringed the doorbell?" Antonio forced himself to calm down and comforted.
It's no good if you don't go out now, who knows the consequences of angering the other party.
"Crunch~" The door opened, and Antonio poked out his head cautiously.
"Two, this is all the money in the family. Please two brothers to drink tea." Antonio took out a bag of energy crystals very pretentiously, and made an intoxicating noise.
"Hey! You kid knows you!" The pirate who was about to smash the door brightened his eyes, and he habitually stretched out his hand to pick it up.
"Cough!" Another slightly older pirate with a scar on his face coughed, causing the outstretched hand to froze in the air, and finally he took it back in a shame.
"Antonio, right?" The pirate looked at the terminal connected to the city hall database and called up Antonio's information.
"The owner of the Bassanio Interstellar Transportation Company, whose remaining current assets are 3.76 million empire credits. The ones in it should be your wife and children. Should I be right?" While speaking, he also showed a self-confidence. Think very friendly smile.
Of course, matching the hideous scar on the opponent's face, falling in Antonio's eyes, is tantamount to a "devil's smile."
"You...you..." Antonio clenched his fists in horror.
How did the other party find out? What are they trying to do? Threaten me with my wife and children?
"Hey! With a life detector, do you really think you can hide?" Another pirate tapped on his tactical helmet.
"Don't be afraid, we won't hurt you. According to the tiered rate table of protection fees formulated by Lord Pirate King, protection fees are waived for assets below 5000.
For those with assets of more than one million, but less than 5 million, a 10% protection fee is required. The elderly, weak, women and children are exempt from paying, so we need to charge a protection fee of 376,000 this time. Is it cash or transfer? "
"Uh……"
Even with Antonio's many years of experience in traveling north and south, he has been stunned for a long time when he encountered such a thing.
However, the other party did not intend to threaten him with his wife and children, which made Antonio feel at ease.
"Cash?" Antonio handed over the bag of hard currency in his hand suspiciously.
This loss, although a bit painful to him, is undoubtedly much better than the worst situation.
The pirate grabbed a handful of energy crystals, looked at the weight indicator on the helmet, picked out two more and threw them back into the bag.
"Thanks for your patronage!" The pirate twitched his mouth and showed an ugly smile again.
"Oh, right! This is the "Convoy Plan" flyer that our Broken Star Pirate Alliance just launched. As long as you pay a certain fee on a regular basis, your company can flow unimpeded in the boundaries of our Broken Star Domain. There is absolutely no pirate who dares. Hit your idea.
It’s just in the promotion period recently, and there are discounts for consecutive monthly subscriptions. Mr. An can consider it. "
He took the bag and flyers handed back by the opponent with a dazed expression, until the two pirates were far away, Antonio was still a little dizzy.
I looked at the money bag in my left hand, and then at the flyer in my right hand.
Did these pirates take the wrong medicine?
Is there any reason to pay back the money that is sent to you? Are you sure it’s not the salesperson who came to Amway?
Ring the doorbell again, and what is the stepped rate table of protection fees. There are special treatments for the old and the weak, women and children. Is this still a vicious pirate?
This is simply a clear stream in the pirate world!
