Odin family of pirates
Chapter 36 Buying an Official
That night, everyone secretly returned to Liangshan Courtyard via a small road.
Jack was scared to be alone at home, so he went to the bar to find Aunt Rousi and told her what happened that night, and then he was kicked out.
Jack had no choice but to find Kerby and make do with him for the night.
At the end of the night, Kebi's mentality exploded, he grinded his teeth, snored and farted...
Anyway, he finally knew why his aunt didn't go home to sleep at night.
the next day.
Jack ran to the town early in the morning to inquire about the news.
It was not until noon that he returned to Liangshan Courtyard with a complicated expression.
"The president...is dead."
"I was chosen as the new president." Jack didn't see any joy when he said this.
It is true that he is willing to be the president of this club, but people are not grass and trees, and how can they be ruthless? When someone who has been kind to him dies, he will inevitably feel a little depressed.
"Are you his illegitimate son?"
Odin's guess scared Kerby, and he looked at Jack in confusion: "Isn't that my grandfather?"
"What a mess!"
Uncle Jack directly hit Kebi on the head. He didn't dare to touch Odin now, so he could only roll his eyes: "The president has no children or any relatives. According to the rules, I am only in charge of the trading company temporarily."
"Condolences."
Odin said something human.
Luye Trading Company is one of the top three giants in the town. Jack's taking over is equivalent to directly opening up a trade network for them.
Just looking at Jack's current appearance, it's not appropriate to say this, let alone...
He has more important things to do.
"A fight?" Odin looked at Jango.
At this time, the warship is still anchored in the port of Davao Town, and the current operation is undoubtedly very risky.
But if he succeeds, he can get rid of the suspicion of himself and others once and for all, and prevent himself from being targeted by the navy in the future.
"Jango!" Jango took off his hat, put it on his chest and nodded slightly to Odin.
This is the first time he has done this kind of courtesy, which means obeying orders.
......
Small town.
The terrain of high in the north and low in the south often brings gloomy weather to Davao Island.
At this moment, the entire island was shrouded in thick black and gray clouds. It was only three or four o'clock in the afternoon, but it was already like entering the dusk night.
Danny walked down the street.
Hearing the crisp sound of footsteps coming from his feet, he regretted wearing the hard-soled leather shoes he wore today.
It was so quiet, so quiet that it was a bit eerie.
Silent streets, charred and dilapidated ruins, the strange echo of footsteps... Danny lifted his medicine box on his shoulder and speeded up his pace unconsciously.
But the faster the pace, the more frequent the crisp echoes.
Snap... snap... snap, snap!Snap! !Snap! ! !
The frequency of footsteps became more and more frequent, and every step seemed to step on his heart. Danny covered his ears and ran all the way home.
home.
open the door.
Although he hadn't turned on the lights yet, the familiar environment and the smell of herbs had already dispelled most of his panic.
Coming to the living room... As a famous doctor in the town, Danny has a nice independent building and a spacious living room.
The living room embodies a lot of his efforts. After all, it is the place where friends are invited to the house. There are luxurious wool carpets, rare decorative green plants, precious red nanmu sofas, and... .
"what!"
Danny's heart suddenly stopped for a moment, fear seized his breath!
what is that!
...Two dark figures?
"Hello, Dr. Danny."
Odin stood up and lit a few candles on the table, dispelling the darkness from the room.
"Let me introduce myself, my name is Ao..."
"What are you doing at my house?" Danny asked aloud, resisting the urge to chatter his teeth.
"Make a friend." Odin smiled slightly.
"I don't want to make friends."
"No, you want to."
Seeing that it was difficult to communicate with the other party, Odin went directly to plan B.
"Look here, onetwo, Jango!" Jango shook the hypnotic ring in his hand like he was coaxing a child.
"Haha, little trick." Danny tilted his head to the side.
Hypnosis failed.
Odin had no choice but to step forward and hold Danny's head, hypnotizing him again, and then he got the information they wanted.
Danny is a well-known doctor in the town. Although he is young, he is well respected.
This morning, he was called by Mayor Curry to treat his injuries, and he didn't come back until the afternoon.
The word "niu coax" was spoken by Danny himself, which shows that the mayor is not popular on weekdays.
Later, Zangao buried a series of instructions into Danny's mind and hypnotized him.
After doing this, Zangao was sweating profusely and his face was slightly pale.
Odin went up to help him, and the two left Danny's home together.
......
Liangshan courtyard.
"How's it going? Is it done?" Uncle Jack's eyes were slightly nervous.
When he first learned about the plans and goals of Odin and others, he was so shocked that he couldn't speak at all. Who are these people? They are all lawless lords!
"Not sure yet, let's wait for the news." Odin shook his head.
Zangao's hypnotic ability is not invincible, and is also subject to various limitations, such as the need to keep an eye on the ring.
This alone limits the effectiveness of hypnosis in combat.
Except for cute players like Luffy, I'm afraid no one would stare at the ring obediently.
In addition, the effect of hypnosis also varies from person to person and is affected by various factors such as brain development, will, and strength.
For example, an illiterate person who cannot read or write will be easily hypnotized, but if he is a knowledgeable scholar or scientist, the effect will be much reduced or even not affected.
People with strong willpower often suffer much less hypnotic effects. Therefore, if you want to hypnotize an enemy with strong willpower, you must first find a way to destroy the opponent's will.
At present, Zangao's hypnotic ability is still in the early stages of development. It's hard to say what the final result will be when he encounters an intellectual like Danny who has something in mind and is highly wary.
......
The second day, in the morning.
Mayor's room.
"Why is this the only amount of money this time?" Clay frowned.
What can you do with just this little money?
"Don't mention it, it's all the fault of the mafia." Curry was lying on the bed with a bandage wrapped around his arm.
"Mafia?" Clay raised his eyebrows in confusion.
"Yes, the newly emerged gang in the rat's nest is very arrogant and disobedient at all!" Curry told the whole story.
"In the past, when the Jem Gang was big, the protection fees were very heavy. Those poor people had to go up the mountains to collect enough mountain products. Naturally, we exported more mountain products... But now, the mafia has lowered the protection fees. Share, no one has the motivation to go to the mountains to purchase goods!”
"I'll go meet them in the afternoon." Clay didn't take it seriously at all.
In his opinion, no one dared to resist the power of the navy.
"Uncle, please give me some snacks, I need a lot of money... My immediate boss is a greedy guy, and only Bailey with enough weight can let him promote me to captain!" Clay gritted his teeth.
He is an extremely ambitious man who desires power and will do whatever it takes to get promoted.
Spending money to buy a position is not a problem for him.
Tee, Tee, Tee!
There was a knock on the door, but Clay made no sound.
In the eyes of outsiders, he is a just, kind, and unsmiling excellent marine, and he needs to maintain this image.
"Mayor, I'm here to change the dressing."
Danny's slightly stiff voice came from outside the house.
Jack was scared to be alone at home, so he went to the bar to find Aunt Rousi and told her what happened that night, and then he was kicked out.
