The only person who looked normal in this bar was the bartender. He was wearing tight cotton socks that reached his calves and loose pants. He was wearing a long suit with large buttons, a beige shirt, and no bow tie. When he saw the trio squeezing their way over, he said indifferently, "That's right.
"Only rum and beer, how many glasses?"
Sheyan bluntly scattered a handful of gold louis onto the bar counter.
"We don't have much time, so your recommendation isn't very attractive to us. I'm hoping to hear some information from your body."
The bartender sneered sinisterly and kept the gold louis. He didn't speak but continued.
"We only have rum and beer here, how many glasses would you like?"
Sheyan's expression changed.
"We aren't here to drink."
The bartender exposed a sly smile and replied.
"Then please leave."
Sheyan suddenly burst into laughter.
"Interesting, truly interesting. Seems like you intend to swindle me?"
The bartender sneered.
"Felic. Someone's causing trouble here. "
Following the bartender's shout, several stout men who were clinking glasses and drinking from afar walked over. They cracked their knuckles as they tilted their heads and sized up the trio with malicious gazes. The leader of the stout men had curly chest hair, he should be that Felic.
"Are you guys going to scram now, or do you need me to toss you out?"
The bartender abruptly sneered.
"These newcomers actually don't know the rules, and directly bought information from me. Hmph?? Still, they're quite generous, and can be considered as giving me some extra income. On account of these gold louis, Felic, chop off one of their hands and have them scram. "
Sheyan was in a rush and didn't have the time to waste with him. He sighed and shook his head.
Yet at this moment, Canbi took the initiative and strode forward with a gloomy countenance. Then, he bellowed furiously.
"You bastards, you dare disrespect the boss, you shall all die!"
Sensing his authority being challenged, the bulky Felic instantly widened his eyes. Immediately, he viciously punched towards Canbi's face. Similarly, Canbi ferociously punched out to meet him head-on. The two similarly boorish and ferocious fellows were about to engage in an intense clash!
To Felic, this brat's strength had reached a whopping 40 points. To other contestants whose highest attributes were at 30 points, 40 points was already a value that could completely suppress or even crush them. However, to Canbi who had obtained the formidable 'Ogre Gloves', that was far from enough!
This time, Canbi abruptly exerted strength in his fist. Kacha! A crisp crack resounded, as Frey's arm was thoroughly twisted like a matchstick. His entire body was sent flying by the tremendous momentum. His face flushed red as his heavy body slammed against a pillar in the bar. Then, he slumped limply to the ground, as blood gushed out incessantly from his mouth....
Instantly, the entire bar shook violently as dust drifted down. Initially, nobody in the incomparably chaotic bar paid any attention to this situation. When Canbi unleashed his move, he instantly became the focal point of everyone's attention!!
Instead, the few thugs beside Felic still didn't understand the situation. Upon seeing their boss being oppressed, they immediately pounced forward. It appeared as though Canbi was exceedingly experienced in such bar brawls. Laughing maniacally, he pounced forward and swept his elbow across the chest of the thug on his right. Kacha Kacha! Amidst continuous crisp cracking sounds, that thug's chest instantly caved in. Fresh blood violently spurted out, adding a sliver of bloody stench to the foul atmosphere of the bar.
Yet at this moment, another thug had already raised an iron rod and smashed it against Canbi's head. After a muffled thud, Canbi's body instantly swayed. Sheyan instantly realized that Canbi's HP had abruptly plummeted. Evidently, after wearing the gloves, his defence and survivability had been significantly weakened.
Moreover, how could Sheyan and the rest sit idly and watch as Canbi was besieged? Sheyan kicked out with his leg, directly sending a thug flying half a metre into the air. In the darkness, who knew how many furniture had been knocked over. Reef and Mogensha weren't willing to lag behind. With a few punches and kicks, they sent the bar's bandits tumbling to the ground.
At this moment, that bartender attempted to flee upon realizing the situation wasn't good. Instead, Brother Black single-handedly brandished his rifle, and released a burst of 5 shots into the bartender's thigh. Instantly, the bartender's face plummeted to the ground. His front teeth were knocked out, and blood gushed out from his nose. Only now did the others in the bar realize that this bartender named 'Black * *' had originally intended to cheat others for money. In the end, he had kicked an iron plate.
Although Canbi was as docile as a sheep in front of Sheyan, only now did he display the savagery of a pirate. Rubbing the huge bump on the back of his head, his eyes flickered with an ominous glint. First, he grabbed that thug who had struck him with his iron rod, and smashed his head against the incomparably solid bar counter! Amidst that thug's blood-curdling screams, Canbi didn't hesitate to smash him to death!
Following that, Canbi clapped his hands and took large strides towards Black * * who was still struggling in a pool of blood. Then, Canbi grabbed him by the hair, and directly pulled his upper body off the ground. Then, he stuck his face close to Black * * and enunciated word by word.
"I heard you wanted to chop off our boss's hand, and chase us out?"
Black * *'s eyes were brimming with rancor, as he gritted his teeth and scolded.
"Do you know who owns this bar? If Mister Barbossa learns of this, he will peel off your skin and hang it on the chimney! Your entire family of females will be sold as prostitutes …... "
Before he could finish, Canbi had already delivered a slap across his face! How tyrannical was Canbi's brute strength? That slap had probably fractured Black * *'s facial bones. Blood flowed out from Black * *'s ears as he struggled to speak. Instead, Canbi raised his hand once again.
"Wait a minute!" Sheyan suddenly called out indifferently.
Black * *'s eyes flashed with delight, and he couldn't help but stutter with wild laughter. Then, he blurted out.
"Are you afraid? Immediately kneel down and beg for mercy a thousand times. Perhaps, I can spare your lowly life. "
Sheyan completely ignored him, and spoke to the puzzled Canbi.
"I still have matters to ask him. Remember not to kill him, and he can speak and listen. The rest is up to you."
Black * *'s complacent and disjointed wild laughter choked his throat. Instead, Canbi grinned maliciously as he hoisted Black * * up, and pressed Black * *'s right arm against the bar counter. Black * * finally felt terror, as his five fingers continuously flexed and struggled to break free from Canbi's grip. Yet, how could he resist Canbi's monstrous strength?
Within a second, an incomparably mournful shriek echoed out. Canbi's fist smashed against Black * *'s right arm that was suspended in mid-air. The might of Canbi's fist had exceeded his imagination. Crack! Black * *'s right arm was smashed apart like a dried twig. Then, Canbi casually grabbed it and tore it apart. Blood gushed out wildly as Black * *'s right arm was directly ripped apart.
Under such torment, Black * * finally crumbled as he screamed and begged for mercy. Sheyan squatted down and asked with interest.
"What, you're interested in telling me now?"
Black * *'s face was smeared with blood, saliva and mucus, mixed with dust. His current appearance was as miserable as it could be, and as shameful as it could be. At present, he didn't even have the strength to speak, and could only nod his head like a chicken pecking at rice.
Sheyan calmly asked.
"Has there been any unusual happenings on the island recently?"
Black * * panted with difficulty as he replied.
"If you're talking about …... Tortuga …... the recent rumour that has been abuzz, is naturally none other than …... various large shops are purchasing precious and valuable items at exorbitant prices."
Sheyan replied.
"Is that so? That sentence isn't worth the 17 gold guineas I tossed to you. "
Canbi solemnly interjected.
"I reckon two eyes, a nose and two ears should be enough to cover the debt."
Black * * trembled as he exclaimed.
"Wait a minute!! Actually, those fellows purchasing precious and valuable items would ultimately sell them to the gypsies. Usually, they would sell them for 2-3 times the price! "
Sheyan suspiciously asked.
"Really?"
"Really!!" Black * * exclaimed. "I swear upon the graves of my ancestors!"
The so-called gypsies were another name for the gypsies of the present world. They were experts in smelting, wandering and divination. Tarot cards and caravans were representative of this race.
At this moment, the trio received a notification from their nightmare imprint.
[Hidden main mission 'Turning Point' has been triggered.]
[You receive two choices.]
[First, search for a reliable large shop and inquire for relevant information regarding precious and valuable items.]
[Second, search for a gypsy buyer, and conduct a direct transaction with them to inquire for relevant information regarding precious and valuable items.]
[Warning: Choosing the second option will increase the difficulty of this mission.]
When the trio first entered this world, the mission difficulty was B-minus. After triggering the hidden mission 'Turning Point', the difficulty had risen to 'B'. If they chose the second option, then undoubtedly, the difficulty would rise to 'B +'. That was already equivalent to the difficulty of eliminating the Blade Empress' personal troops in the Starship Trooper world.
However, considering that Reef could promote to a Growth-hunter at any time, and Sheyan's personal faction had already taken shape, a 'B +' difficulty was absolutely acceptable.
Hence, the trio directly chose the second option. Indeed, it was as Sheyan had speculated. This hidden main mission indeed had a time limit, and was closely related to the gypsies who would depart when the sun rose in the morning! (To be continued.
