Chapter 27 This is a misunderstanding
Everything was ready, and it was almost noon. Link took his subordinates, "Honesty Man" Jon and "Bald" Kenneth as they got on the carriage.
The carriage was a single horse and two wheels. The small carriage was crowded with Link and the other three, Jon and Kenneth, which were even more sturdy than ordinary people, and made the carriage space cramped.
Link finally decided to bring only two guards. The more he brought, it seemed timid, and the less he brought, he was afraid of losing.
He believed that with the strength of his three people, he could not easily keep himself without more than ten times the number of enemies.
The carriage was jogging on the dirt road, because it was daytime, Link could see the Keenei natives working lazily on both sides of the road.
The driver was a veteran Vigia and soon drove the carriage to the vicinity of the manor.
Link looked at the manor gate in front of him, as if the mouth of a giant beast that chose people and ate their bodies slowly opened.
The short and fat butler was standing on the steps in front of the hall waiting for greeting.
He searched around his eyes and finally found his subordinates in the shadow of the bushes not far from the manor guardrail.
'This idiot Carl actually wears a white hat.'
Carl, dressed in white, was a little conspicuous under the bushes, but Link had no time to remind him, so he could only nod in that direction and signal that he was going in.
"Welcome to Lord Link, please leave the weapon to me for custody."
The short and fat housekeeper said to Link with a professional smirk.
"Ding Ding"
Grey Rabbit: Grey Wolf, are you ready for the potion to cure blood? I have arrived at Skull Island and the Pirates Conference will begin in a few days.
Link: Yes, I'm ready. I will contact you in advance when I have time. Don't worry, I won't forget it.
'I'm ready for a ghost.' Link complained in his heart, almost forgot about this.
"Mr. Link? Master Link?"
Looking at Link standing in front of him, who seemed to be thinking about something, the short and fat butler was a little confused.
"Oh, OK."
After reacting, Link handed the mace in his hand to the butler.
The short and fat butler who took the mace signaled Link to continue to enter the hall, and then took Jon and Kenneth to the side hall next to him.
Link walked into the hall with caution, and the familiar long dining table was still there, with many pre-dinner snacks on the table cloth embroidered with gold edges.
At the top, there was the old Bob squinting eyes. Seeing Link enter the door, he nodded slightly.
David and Remy stood up and welcomed: "I have met Manager Link."
Link waved his hand and sat down to the side opposite them.
"Is there anything wrong with calling me here today?"
"Sir, don't worry, let's eat first, and then chat after the meal." David said, "Sir Bob, who was silent.
"I'm quite impatient. If I have something hidden in my heart, it won't be delicious even if I eat. Let's talk about it first."
Just kidding, today's dinner is probably aimed at me, so Link won't rashly urge the food prepared by these old Bobs.
"It seems that Manager Link is an impatient person. Captain David, you can just talk about it first."
Manager Bob still squinted his eyes and said to David.
‘Why did Mad ask me to say it?’
David complained in his heart, aiming at Remy beside him, and he sat upright without saying a word.
"Ahem, that's right. Lord Link, you know that our island mainly grows sugarcane, right?"
"Um."
"Sugarcane juice, boil it into sugar, and then air-dry it into sugar crystals, which will cause loss."
Link felt a little confused, why did he tell him this?
"Say the point!"
Before Link asked a question, the old Bob frowned and scolded David.
David had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue, "Recently, the deacons of the Duke's leader found that the loss we reported to them was much higher than the loss they obtained by doing their own experiments."
Link understood a little: "Are you corruption?"
"Ahem, everyone is trusted by the Duke, how can they embezzle?
It’s just that those damn black-skinned monkeys are too lazy, which leads to a greater loss when refining sugar cane. We…”
"Shut up! David!"
The old Bob finally interrupted impatiently, staring at Link and said:
"We need a way to make up for these deficiencies."
Old Bob tapped his fingers on the desktop:
"Whether it's an indigenous attack, a pirate robbery, or anything else, I don't care. I just want to solve this problem!"
Only then did Link realize that Old Bob wanted to cooperate with them to show the Duke's people.
The problem of deficit depends on the indigenous people and pirates, and this matter will definitely be known by my own security manager.
Then, besides letting yourself get along with others, there is only one way to kill yourself.
‘That was the last security manager who died?’
Link wanted to ask, but no matter how low his EQ was, he knew that he could not ask this question at this time.
"Actually, this has nothing to do with me."
The three looked at Link.
"Even if the Duke leader is stupid, he will not believe that a new security manager will be related to these deficiencies, right?
So, why should I cooperate with you?"
Link sat near the door and rushed out of the hall in just a few steps.
The combat power of the three people in the hall is negligible. David, a middle-aged fat man, is probably limited in combat power, and only Remy, the young man, may be a little threat to him.
Link is ready to break up and have a conflict later.
"Of course I won't treat you badly."
Old Bob said to David nun a mouth, and David obediently picked up a square metal box from under the dining table.
He didn't feel easy to carry, and his face turned red with difficulty, which made Link a little curious about the box and lowered his estimate of David's combat effectiveness in his heart.
"Bang"
There was a sound of heavy objects hitting the table.
David opened the square metal box facing Link.
"This is.."
As the box opened, Link was attracted by a dazzling metal reflection light, and a "Bring Buling" sound almost appeared in his mind.
It turned out to be a box of golden snake coins!
After swallowing his saliva, Link thought in his heart that he had not spoken out the conditions first, otherwise he would have made a few requests for the Golden Snake Coins, so Old Bob and the others would not be laughed to death?
‘How much are they greedy for these dogs? They can actually take out so many golden snake coins to buy themselves.’
Old Bob looked at Link in a daze and was very satisfied with his reaction.
"There are two hundred golden snake coins here, and I have always been generous to my friends."
"And here is just the first one, and I will divide it again in every season in the future!"
‘I did it, why not? I don’t have much affection for the Duke. I still don’t know how much my salary as a safety management ministry can be.’
Link felt relieved and was about to agree.
Suddenly, a loud shout came from outside: "Boss! We are here to save you!"
Accompanied by this shout, there was a loud bang, and it was the sound of the big iron door at the entrance of the manor.
"Damn, why did I forget this!"
When Link came in, he was interrupted by the message sent by the "Gray Rabbit". In addition, he was stunned by the shining golden snake coins, and forgot to make an agreement with his subordinates for a quarter of an hour.
The three people in the hall stood up, shocked and suspicious.
Link smiled awkwardly at them: "I said this is a misunderstanding, do you believe it?"
Chapter completed!
