Many gentlemen and ladies who had returned angrily gathered at the port dock late at night. Obviously, the chaotic security and violent folk customs of Damir Port taught the people of Backlund who did not understand the sea a hard lesson.
Before the early hours of the morning, all the passengers had already returned to the Victory, and some were still chatting with fear beside the ship.
"This place is really terrible. I don't know how the navy manages it."
"Yeah yeah!"
They huddled in small groups behind the bodyguards who formed a circle around the perimeter, complaining angrily.
"I heard that there was a fight over there in the tavern, and there was blood!"
This was the clear voice of the lady who half covered her mouth and lowered her voice.
"Oh my God, this is so scary"
"To be honest, I feel now that we shouldn't have gone to sea in the first place."
There were all these exchanges near the side of the ship. The bloody accident that occurred in the nearby "Flying Fish and Liquor" bar was widely circulated because of its crushing combat power and overly breathtaking aura, even to those who were just here for the first time.
Nobles and merchants have heard about it.
Just then, the instigator of this incident came back.
The tail of Yager's jet black leather coat was stained with a few inconspicuous drops of maroon blood, dyeing the white stitches a dull scarlet red.
His seemingly thin arms showed abnormal strength, easily dragging a lifeless blond man behind him. His gloomy and indifferent expression made him look like a vampire dumping his body.
If the guards hadn't recognized his face, the Victory would have been on alert by now.
After seeing the other party's pale and handsome face clearly, the panicked men and women around them suddenly stopped and quickly became quiet. After being slightly surprised, they resumed their lively discussion.
Oh, are they from the church?
That's okay.
They continued talking calmly as usual.
This kind of reaction is actually due to the continuous major events in Backlund in the past two months. From the attack of the Aurora Society to the semi-destroyment of St. Samuel's Cathedral, the church's extremely high force value has been reduced in just a few weeks.
Deeply rooted in people's hearts.
However, this does not mean that they are not curious about what happened.
As Yager dragged Daniz back to his room, he received countless looks and expressions from people around him who were eager to talk to him.
His steps quietly quickened, trying to avoid social interaction, and quickly returned to the room with his three thousand pounds.
But this plan was ruined by Mrs. Anne waiting in the corridor on the first floor.
"Good night, Mr. Drester."
Anne was wearing a dark red nightgown, with a deep V-neck that revealed a large area of white skin. She leaned against the wall covered with silver-gray wallpaper, and raised her red lips into a beautiful smile.
"Good night, Mrs. Anne." Yagel paused in his forward steps and even silently stepped back a little, "It's already late at night, why haven't you fallen asleep yet?"
"Oh, sir, older people always have some worries in their hearts that are difficult to resolve alone. I'm waiting for you to come back and discuss it together."
Mrs. Anne's peach blossom eyes showed confusion and temptation.
"Perhaps you would like to come into the room with me to discuss it now?"
It was already obvious what she was implying. Or rather, it was very obvious from the beginning.
But judging from the rank of the governor's wife, before she knew that he was an extraordinary person in the church, there was a slight possibility that she just wanted to spend a pleasant journey together, but after knowing that, this simple expectation completely disappeared.
Already.
At least from the words, you can feel a vague sense of purpose.
Maybe she wanted to use him as a bodyguard or thug at sea, or even if he was strong enough, she seemed to have the intention of recruiting him to become an extraordinary member of the family.
Of course, the methods she uses will definitely not be completely glorious.
Yager could feel it without asking.
No, what does he want to do with this?
This annoying human being who covets him!
Tsk! What are you looking at?!
Look at the clothes and they fit well!
He simply and quickly interrupted Anne's intention to continue speaking: "I'm sorry, ma'am. As you can see, I have other things that need to be dealt with urgently now."
"This is the guy I recruited on land. Unfortunately, he was affected by the pirates' fight and passed out. I still need to revive him. I'm afraid I won't have time tonight."
"Well, and I'm used to going to bed early, maybe tomorrow night, the night after, and in the future, I won't be very free to discuss it at night."
"Let's talk more during the meal, okay?"
During the conversation, Yager quietly tightened the collar that was slightly open due to the fight.
"Oh, okay, okay -" Mrs. Anne made a cute and drawn-out voice to express her dissatisfaction, "Mr. Drester, can anyone tell you that it is extremely ungentlemanly to refuse a lady like this?"
of?"
"If you still have any conscience, you should apologize sincerely tomorrow morning~"
She gave him a charming look, her beautiful eyes looking forward to the appearance, but she turned around and walked into the room that belonged to her without any hesitation.
After this method didn't work, Anne decided not to continue the entanglement, and ended the conversation smoothly in a way that gave both parties a way out.
This proves Yager's previous judgment.
After politely bidding farewell, the encounter in the corridor finally came to an end. The black-haired young man's footsteps were imperceptibly faster, and he quickly reached the room in only a few steps.
Some overly enthusiastic ladies always gave him chills down his spine...
He closed the wooden door.
The sound insulation quality of the first-class cabin is quite superior. After the door is closed, there is only a pleasant silence in the room.
Now, he could finally turn his head with satisfaction and look at Daniz who was dragged all the way to the ground.
"Very well, now we can settle the matter of the three thousand pounds and its ten thousand pound shipmate."
However, after clearly seeing the scratched face of the figure on the ground and the complete fainting posture like a dead fish, Yager's voice suddenly stopped and fell into an awkward silence.
".It won't be cold, will it?!"
Fortunately, Daniz's life is not so fragile that he cannot survive this persecution.
Although he was scratched several times by branches and pebbles, and was knocked unconscious by an unknown force, as a Sequence Seven, he still persevered and pushed through.
When it got dark, the captured Daniz finally opened his eyes on the floor in the living room.
"It hurts so much!"
As soon as he moved, he felt a burning pain in his right shoulder, as if the bones inside were broken with his bare hands because of too much force.
So ignorant! The captain should educate him!
He thought subconsciously.
But when the darkness in front of him gradually faded and the surrounding scene became clear, Daniz, who was still dazed, finally picked up his forgotten thinking ability.
etc!
The person who beat him seemed to be someone from the Church of the Night who wanted to catch him to collect the reward!
After he figured it out, his blue eyes widened instantly and he looked to the side in horror!
Sure enough, someone was waiting for him.
A few steps away, Yager was sitting on the single sofa next to him, holding his chin with one hand, staring condescendingly at the three thousand pounds on the ground with his dark eyes, his expression indifferent.
"You finally woke up."
"I'm sorry, I didn't attack you on purpose! I have savings that definitely exceed my bounty, so please let me go!"
Daniz was immediately frightened and screamed on the ground.
