Pirate Shadow Guardian

"what!"

Today, it was not the crowing of roosters or the rising sun that awakened this port town.

Instead, it was a scream that resounded through the sky and was full of energy.

This is a hotel worker in her 50s, who is in charge of night watch at this cheap hotel. According to the usual practice, she should be sleeping in the duty room at this time.

But there was no other way. Even though she looked down on these peasants, her job was inseparable from them.

After several residents reported that the toilet door was locked and could not be opened, she dragged her reluctant body and took the spare key to open the only men's toilet.

"boom!"

As the door was opened, a body that looked like a beggar lay straight at her feet.

The body was sitting with its back against the toilet door, and due to the coagulation of blood, the body became stiff. After falling down, it actually stood up again, swaying a few times like a rocking chair, and finally fell to the ground due to lack of balance.

This strange scene continued to impact her nerves, so much so that she uttered the loudest soprano voice in her life.

This sound seemed to have set off a chain reaction. People kept getting woken up, and then, regardless of the horror of the corpse, they all gathered around to watch the fun.

This was at the port, not far from the Navy branch. Right under the Navy's nose, a murder had occurred!

Death is common, and people often die for inexplicable reasons in this world. But for these civilians, killing people at the doorstep of the Navy and leaving the bodies behind is not common.

The news soon reached the naval branch, and a team leader led a dozen fully armed naval soldiers to the scene of the crime, waking up a group of people along the way.

Then, before they could arrive at the scene, they received news that another victim had appeared in another place!

The team leader quickly reported the situation to the branch and requested support.

And this is just the beginning!

As more and more people were alarmed, more and more bodies were discovered.

In just one hour, the port town has found 33 victims! It is not certain whether this is all...

The highest commander of the naval branch, Colonel Porter, was also alarmed and jumped out of bed. Then he gave an order to search the entire town for suspicious targets!

While the navy was searching, the culprit Yang Ye stood in front of a warmly decorated house.

"Boom boom boom!"

"Who is it? So early in the morning!"

With a hint of impatience and a bit of vigilance in his voice, Paul appeared behind the door, but did not rush to open it.

"Good morning, Uncle Paul."

Yangye's calm voice sounded.

Paul's expression did not relax after hearing Yang Ye's voice. Instead, he became extremely alert.

He...didn't tell Yangye his address!

"How...how did you find this place?"

Paul tried to remain calm.

"As long as I want, I can find you no matter where you are."

!!!

Paul understood what Yangye meant.

Running is of no use.

"What do you want to do?"

Paul opened the door reluctantly. After Yang came in, he looked around furtively for a while and then quickly closed the door.

"Are you sure you want to talk here?"

"follow me!"

Paul obviously knew that the front door was not the place to talk, so he took Yang to a reception room that was simply decorated but very clean.

"I want to give you a message for free, and then I want to make a deal with you."

Paul thought about the conversation he had with Yangye yesterday, and a strange feeling came over him.

"Free news? Bad news, right?"

For some unknown reason, Paul said the same lines that Yang Ye said yesterday.

“The news is not bad, but it is hard to say whether the subsequent transactions will be good or bad.”

Yang also told the truth.

"Then tell me the news first. It's a waste not to listen to free news."

Paul knew very well that from the moment Yang Ye came to him, he had no room for bargaining. He could only cooperate with Yang Ye and see what he wanted to do.

"Chris is dead."

!!!

Yang ignored Paul's shocked look and continued to talk to himself:

"To be exact, including Chris, the owners of seven shops belonging to the Gothic Kingdom, their twenty-seven subordinates, and their thirteen mistresses or wives, a total of forty-eight people, all died. Oh, and there was also a pickpocket, who died too."

!!!

Paul's pupils shrank sharply and he stared at Yang Ye.

"What did you do?"

Paul's voice was dry, and he asked the question knowingly.

"Does it matter?"

Is it important?

important.

Not too important either.

Being able to state the identity and number of the victims so clearly, what difference does it make even if he didn't do it?

It was only yesterday that they were discovered to be targeted, and everyone died that night! As for the pickpocket, Paul knew with his toes that he must have stolen from Yang Ye.

"What deal do you want to negotiate with me?"

"It's simple. You're the only one who knows that I'm going to Shimotsuki Village. Please help me keep this secret."

Yang Ye's tone remained calm, but the words he said made Paul's body instantly drenched in cold sweat!

"The bargaining chips are three lives."

Paul didn't ask which three lives they were, for he had not forgotten how many people lived in his house!

"I thought we had a pretty good time yesterday..."

"That's why I came to discuss a deal with you, Uncle Paul."

Ignoring Paul's slightly sarcastic words, Yang remained as calm as ever.

"You should know that I can only conceal your whereabouts. I can't guarantee that your other information will not be exposed!"

"That's enough, thanks Uncle Paul."

Yang also stood up and left without any hesitation.

"What a scary little devil..."

Looking at Yang Ye's departing back, Paul sighed deeply.

There is no doubt that the favor Paul sold yesterday did work. For a powerful person like this, who can kill 49 people including Chris in one night, three more of them must not be a big deal...

However, if this kind of guy appears in the East China Sea, we must report it to our superiors!

I only promised not to tell you your whereabouts, but I didn't say I would help you hide the information!

Besides, you were the one who said you didn't mind, wasn't it?

Brat!

Yang really didn't mind.

Because there's no point in caring.

Even Paul knew that he was being targeted by the Gothic Kingdom, so it was hard to imagine that other organizations would not know this news. Now that all the people in the Gothic Kingdom were dead, it would be unfair not to suspect him, right?

Unless he can kill everyone in the port!

is it possible?

Obviously, this is not realistic.

Therefore, Yang has already prepared himself to be wanted. As long as the fruit ability is not exposed, it is normal to have a bounty on the bounty in this ocean, right?

If you are a gangster, you would feel embarrassed to deal with others without a bounty on your head!

It’s a pity for Lilia. Under the circumstances at that time, it was impossible for him not to use the ability of his fruit, so Lilia had to die.

Trust between people has never been worthy of trust.

There are so many ways to get people to speak in this world.

Only the dead are the most reliable!

As for Paul, the second person who showed him goodwill, he was willing to take a chance. Because even if Paul told him whereabouts, he could afford the consequences. At most, it would be a little troublesome.

I hope Uncle Paul won't let him down...

The thirty-seventh goal has been achieved!
