Silence!
A strange silence!
"Clang"
The wine bottle rolled on the ground. Senjerry had accidentally knocked it over with the tip of his foot. Everyone seemed to have been startled awake. They all stared at Arlen with different expressions.
"Are you serious?" Gagou's words were twice as slow as usual and his expression was a little dignified and nervous.
"Of course, I'm serious." Yarlin turned and walked to the notice of the bounty poster, he tore off the third row of the bounty list in the lower right corner and turned and gently put it on the table. "Via, 7 million Berries bounty."
In the original plan, Yarlin intended to use this bounty to make a deal directly with the higher-level officers of the 153 Naval Branch. If he could get in touch with Colonel Monca, it would naturally be the best choice. However, from what he saw and heard in Shields Town, Colonel Monca is really not a good transaction partner.
Not to mention whether he has the opportunity to get in touch with the ruler of 153 Branch, even if he has this opportunity, with his current identity and Colonel Monca's stubborn, arrogant, and brutal character, it is easy for him to be eaten clean.
Therefore, Yarlin changed the original plan. He needs a more reliable person to be his pawn in the 153 Naval Branch. This person's status cannot be too high. If it is too high, it will be difficult for him to control. If it is too low, it will be useless; and this person should not be too cunning. People who are too cunning are usually not very trustworthy.
Coincidentally, after this observation, Lieutenant Senjerry of the Marine Recruitment Office can just meet Yarlin's requirements.
"Via, $7,000,000."
Picking up the bounty poster on the table, Senjerry stared at Yarlin suspiciously. He had a vague guess in his heart, but he couldn't believe it because it was too incredible. It was impossible for a recruit who wanted to join the Marine to report with a bounty on the head of a pirate.
Senjerry didn't understand. There was a special word in Yarlin's previous life called "Proof of Allegiance".
"Fick!"
Yarlin said lightly.
"Oh!"
Fick, who had a weak presence from the start, now had a sinister look on his face. He laughed strangely and raised his hand to place the pouch on the table. At this moment, everyone's eyebrows twitched as they realized that this strong man who looked like a follower had been carrying something.
Opening the bag, revealing the sealed wooden box inside, pulling the lid off the box, a faint smell of lime diffused, diluting the smell of alcohol in the room.
"It's really …"
"Hiss …"
Senjerry and the other two sucked in a breath of cold air. Inside the box was a deathly pale human head pickled with lime powder. The pair of deathly white eyes of the dead fish were still glaring angrily at the death.
"It's Via!" Jiagu compared it with the portrait on the bounty list and nodded heavily to Senjerry, but his heart quietly became hot. The man in front of him who hasn't officially become a Marine, this man named Arlen, made him suddenly realize that his salted fish days are finally coming to an end.
"Gulp."
Senjerry swallowed his saliva, the anger in his eyes gradually extinguished, replaced by a chill from his tailbone to his heart. Inexplicably, he looked at Yarlin's cold face with a touch of fear in his eyes.
Senjerry exhaled two mouthfuls of turbid air, his face alternated between green and red, his eyes stared at the head without blinking. After a long while, he looked at Yarlin's cold eyes with his bloodshot eyes and said word by word: "You planned this long ago?"
"It's just a small habit of preparing for a rainy day." Yarlin habitually touched his eyelids, he suddenly felt that he should also prepare a pair of glasses for himself, he curled his lips and said: "It's not worth mentioning, but I didn't expect the situation of Navy Branch 153 to be more complicated than I expected, so I adjusted the plan slightly."
"Humph!" Senjerry was too lazy to ask Yarlin about his original plan. Even if he asked, he didn't believe that Yarlin would tell the truth.
When he first met Arlen, he thought that Arlen wanted to join the navy because of his righteous heart. Now that he thought about it, he couldn't have been more wrong. He saw the ambition in Arlen's eyes, as well as his daring methods and unfathomable scheming. He couldn't find the slightest trace of justice in him.
To be honest, he didn't like this kind of person at all, but the funny thing was that he had to be patient and continue listening to him, because Yarlin was right about one thing. Compared to this, he hated Satoni's despicable face even more, he hated his own incompetence and dejection even more, he hated this place full of cobwebs and wine bottles.
"Wake up, Senjerry, even if you don't think for yourself, do you want Gagou and Chisene to stay in this broken place with you? Besides, the man in front of me didn't do anything unforgivable, he just did something that he hated the most in the past. Navy Branch 153 is already rotten to the core, it doesn't make a difference to this one. Even if it's rotten, it can't be worse than this one."
Senjerry roared inwardly. In the past, he wasn't willing to wallow in the mire with Sartoni and the others, which was why he was sent here. But now, fate had taken a turn and gave him a chance to make a new choice.
"Hehe … Hahaha … Hahaha …"
He looked at Jia Gu's fiery eyes and Qi Si's slightly evasive gaze. He already knew their choice. He retracted his gaze and stared at Ya Erlin. His lips curled into a maniacal laugh. "This f * cking world!"
Yarlin looked at Senjerry indifferently. He didn't provoke him anymore because he knew that this man had made the right choice. From the first time he saw the environment of the recruitment office, Yarlin knew that he would wake up from his dream sooner or later. He just lacked an opportunity, and now, he was mercifully giving this opportunity to him.
"Since we've harmed his interests, we'll compensate him with greater benefits and get what we want." Yarlin waited for Senjerry to stop laughing before he continued. "This is an extremely simple transaction. I believe that Lieutenant Colonel Satoni has no reason to reject it."
"This is what you want." Senjerry snorted. "You're right. Satoni won't reject it."
He still felt uncomfortable, but his rationality suppressed his emotions. He took out two recruitment forms from the drawer and tossed them to Yarlin.
"This is only the first step."
Ya Erlin shrugged his shoulders and smiled noncommittally. He obediently took the recruitment form and quickly filled it out again.
