Chapter 26: Fate
“It’s so lively.”
The blond boy who opened the door and walked into the tavern was the boy Guan who had just arrived in Mad Hatter Town during the day.
He raised his finger and pressed the brim of his hat lightly, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
The tavern was almost full, and the table where Maude was sitting still had two empty seats, which was very eye-catching.
Guan did not hesitate at all, and went straight to the table where Maude was.
He didn’t know much about the profession of Funeral director, and he had no concerns about bad luck and disgust.
Coming to one of the empty seats on the table, Guan glanced at Maude, who was silent while wearing a mask, and sat down without saying a word.
This is a free and casual tavern. You can sit with a seat or stand without a seat. No matter where you sit, you don’t need anyone’s consent.
After sitting down, the corner of Guan’s eyes was always paying attention to Maude’s reaction, and at the same time, he beckoned to the waitresses who were busy like ants on a hot pot, and signaled to order here.
Maude observed the young boy who had just sat down, and the darker shade of the sun-shading mirror seemed to be inconsistent here and now.
In order to conceal his gaze, Maude ate the food that had been ordered for a long time for the first time.
After dozens of seconds, a waitress holding a tray hurriedly came to the table and asked softly what the pipe needed.
With a smile, Guan ordered a glass of draft beer and an appetizer.
“Please wait.”
After placing the order, the waitress hurried back.
Over time, the pubs, restaurants, and casinos near the Mad Hatter auction house, which can be used for a short rest, are actually full.
Because most of the potential buyers who participated in the auction basically brought a large group of people.
The auction stipulates that a guest can only bring two entourages at most, which causes other accompanying persons to wait outside first, and resting places such as taverns are where they go.
If Guan didn’t sit down, someone else would definitely sit down later. If you encounter an unruly pirate, there is a high probability that Maude will be threatened to give up the table.
On the side, a younger brother who looked relatively kind took up one of the seats, which helped Maude eliminate some hidden dangers invisibly.
After placing the order, Guan lay back, but it was caught by the water pipe behind him, so he untied the water pipe and placed it on the table.
Maude glanced at the unpretentious-looking water pipe, and a strange color flashed in his eyes.
Use water pipes as weapons… it’s quite non-mainstream.
“you do not mind?”
Guan smiled slightly when he noticed that Maude was looking at the water pipe.
Maude remained silent.
Do it first and then ask if you mind.
This guy is obviously a willful type.
Seeing that Maude didn’t speak, Guan took this to talk further:
“Today I saw several people wearing masks like you on the street. I heard that they are a profession called Funeral director, so are you also a Funeral director?”
While talking to Maude, Guan was distracted and listened to the conversations of the surrounding pirates, trying to filter out some valuable information.
Before the official start of the auction, he and Clara worked separately, using various methods to collect information as much as possible.
Maude did not speak, but nodded to deal with it.
His attention is more on listening to information.
In this way, Guan said nothing, and Maude sometimes nodded, sometimes shook his head, but didn’t speak anyway.
The two seem to be so on the surface, but secretly they are doing the same thing.
It can only be said that fate is so wonderful that it made them sit down at the table.
After several contacts, Maude and Guan soon noticed something strange.
I don’t know if it was a coincidence, the two of them looked at each other with a tacit understanding, and then they separated their gazes, each looking away.
“This guy…” x2.
Maude narrowed his eyes.
Guan frowned.
“What is it?” x2.
Maude and Guan thought about each other.
The atmosphere on the table suddenly cooled to zero.
Crunch–
The door of the tavern was pushed open.
A man with a cane in his hand and a strangely pale complexion walked in.
Surprisingly, it is Laffitte, who is quite famous in the West Sea, called the Demon Sheriff.
He was originally a sheriff in a certain place in West Blue, but he was notorious for using excessive violence, and was eventually deported.
After that, he was naturally reduced to the likes of pirates, but his previous nickname was retained, which shows how much his notoriety had reached at that time.
Laffitte looked at it, and instantly saw the only empty seat in the tavern.
Immediately, he walked towards the empty seat.
And that empty seat is the table where Maude and Guan are.
In the tavern, many pirates who were chatting and drinking all looked at Laffitte, all because of the other side’s indiscriminate killing behavior during this period of time that made people unconsciously vigilant.
The arrival of Laffitte, the fierce fame and evil deeds alone made the lively atmosphere on the scene slightly stagnant.
Maude also saw Laffitte, whose extremely strong dress and appearance made him instantly recognize the identity of the other party.
Isn’t this Blackbeard’s accomplice?
Why are you here?
Maude’s face changed slightly and was hidden by the mask.
Although Blackbeard’s accomplices rarely show up in the original work, almost everyone has a strong personal style.
Therefore, although Maude didn’t know Laffitte enough, he could remember them and immediately recognized Laffitte’s identity from the dressing style.
Um?
Seeing Laffitte walking in this direction, Maude subconsciously glanced at the empty space next to him, and suddenly felt a little painful.
Shall we slip away first?
Thinking of this, Maude moved his gaze slightly, and glanced at a table of guests five or six meters away without a trace.
That was the goal he chose after being here for dozens of minutes.
The reason is that the other party took his own reward order as capital and took it to the wine table to brag about it.
And like this kind of prey with its own strategy, if it is let go, how can it be tolerated by nature?
Originally planned to wait here until the opponent left, and then go out to find a chance to sneak attack.
However, the arrival of Laffitte caused Maude to change his attention.
You don’t have to be on the scene to squat, you can find a place outside to guard.
Just as Maude’s thoughts were active, Laffitte was already sitting down.
Maude prepared to retreat.
However, Guan did not respond much, forming a clear contrast with the surrounding pirates.
In the face of many gazes around, Laffitte was no one next to him, and when he was about to invite the waiter to order, he had just closed the door of the tavern and was suddenly violently knocked open.
The loud noise immediately attracted the attention of everyone present, and they all looked towards the door subconsciously.
I saw that two pirates with ferocious expressions rushed into the tavern side by side.
They did not speak harshly, nor did they throw out the opening remarks. Instead, they raised their pistols under the gaze of everyone gradually astonished.
The direction the muzzle was aimed at was surprisingly Laffitte’s location.
Bang bang–
Between the sparks and flints, there were two gunshots in the tavern.
When the gunfire disappeared, the scene was silent.
The two pirates at the door who were obviously seeking revenge, their expressions were frozen and their bodies stiffened.
Above their eyebrows, there was an extra blood hole with white smoke.
Things took a turn for the worse, and many pirates followed the reputation of the gun.
Only saw a Funeral director wearing a mask put away two pistols.
“What a quick gun…!”
Someone stunned.
Guan climbing the water pipe with his right hand looked at Maude with a slight surprise.
On the side, Laffitte, who was already holding the cane, looked surprised.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
