Chapter 1347: Negotiation by Force

A drunken pirate walked toward Disco. The pungent smell of alcohol made Disco frown.

"Watch where you're going."

Disco said in a low voice. If it were in the past, he would have sent people to capture this pirate, personally put a slave collar on him, and take him to be auctioned.

"I..."

The drunken pirate held a bottle of rum, looking at Disco with blurry eyes. A moment later, the pirate's expression changed slightly, and he retreated to the side of the street.

"Mud-legged."

Disco sneered and stepped forward. Cracks appeared on the wine bottle in the pirate's hand. In his view, Disco was scum, but the people behind him were indeed someone he couldn't afford to provoke.

Like a victorious rooster, Disco walked away with a look of pride. The pirate leaning against the street sneered. If there was a day when Disco lost power, he would definitely be the first to capture him and chop him up to feed the fish.

Disco took his men through District 30, heading straight for the 70th Mangrove District.

When Disco arrived at his destination, he was already sweating profusely. From the rapid panting, it could be seen that this guy was very weak.

"My lord, why... why don't we take the bubble car..."

A guard on the side spoke in a low voice. He had walked several blocks in heavy armor, and he was aching all over.

"You know shit."

Disco tidied his clothes and, while the heat and sweat on his face hadn't faded, walked quickly toward an inn.

When Disco walked into the inn, there were over a dozen pirates laughing loudly on the first floor. The first floor of this inn was a combination of a restaurant and a tavern, with accommodation on the second and third floors.

The smell of sweat and inferior alcohol rushing toward him made Disco frown. He just wanted to curse in a low voice, but then dismissed the thought. The person he was meeting this time was not a good person; it was a ruthless guy who had fought against the Four Emperors together with his immediate boss.

In a room on the third floor of the inn, Su Xiao sat cross-legged on the bed, Zhan Long Shan placed flat on his legs. Not far away was Xiao Mantou with a blank expression. If he told others, they might not believe it: she lost 11200 Paradise Coins playing checkers.

Knock, knock, knock...

The knocking interrupted Su Xiao's meditation. He opened his eyes, stored Zhan Long Shan in his storage space, picked up a shirt stained with drops of blood from the bed, and draped it over his back.

"Come in."

The door was pushed open, and Disco walked into the room with a face full of smiles.

"Mr. Bai Ye, nice to meet you. I am Disco."

Disco walked into the room, and his two guards closed the door, standing guard outside.

"I don't know..."

"Appraiser Todd Anderson, have you heard of this person?"

"Mr. Bai Ye, wait a moment."

Disco took out at least five Den Den Mushi from his bosom. Soon, he found Todd Anderson's information through the slave-catching team.

"Todd Anderson, 49 years old, male. He bought two coolies half a year ago. He..."

Su Xiao waved his hand; he wasn't interested in Todd Anderson's life story.

"Tell me, where is he now."

"He is in the 35th Mangrove District. After the riot in District 21, he hid at his lover's place. His lover is called..."

It had to be said that although Disco wasn't much of a person, his efficiency was quite good.

"Otherwise... should I contact him first? That guy is famously arrogant, claiming to be the best appraiser on the Sabaody Archipelago."

"No need, having his location is enough."

Su Xiao got up and walked out of the room. Disco raised his hand, seemingly wanting to say something, but ultimately remained silent and left the inn with his men.

Su Xiao took Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang. As for Xiao Mantou, the two only signed a temporary contract and were not teammates. She naturally wouldn't follow Su Xiao. At this moment, she only wanted to know one thing: why she lost to Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang in terms of IQ.

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang was just "two," not stupid. "Two" and stupid were not the same concept. Xiao Mantou clearly chose the wrong opponent. Among the one person, one dog, and one cow, only the cow was relatively straightforward.

After wandering around the Sabaody Archipelago a few times, Su Xiao finally arrived at the 35th Mangrove District. According to Disco's description, Todd Anderson was temporarily staying at his lover's house. The problem was, Todd Anderson had a total of seven lovers.

If one had to describe this appraiser in one sentence, it would be "old but vigorous." Todd Anderson, nearing fifty, had a new wife who was less than thirty, plus those seven lovers. One could imagine how busy this guy was usually.

In a residential area of District 35, in a two-story house.

"I'm very busy recently. If you have anything to say, just say it."

A middle-aged man wearing pajamas, with a small mustache on his chin and holding a newspaper, sat in a rocking chair. Beside him was a cup of steaming black tea. This middle-aged man was Todd Anderson.

"Entrusting you to appraise a gun."

Su Xiao observed the furnishings in the room. It was the same as what Disco said. Todd Anderson was very arrogant. As a client, the other party didn't even invite him to sit.

"I'm very busy recently. Come back in half a month."

Todd Anderson glanced at Su Xiao. After confirming that Su Xiao was not a big shot on the Sabaody Archipelago, he refocused his gaze on the newspaper.

Hearing this sentence from Todd Anderson, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang sighed and walked toward the door silently. He wasn't leaving, but going to block the door.

A moment later, Todd Anderson's brows furrowed. If it were in the past, those who entrusted him to appraise would have left, either coming back in a few days or half a month later to find him.

Todd Anderson had been in a very bad mood recently because his shop in District 21 was destroyed. He not only lost a large amount of property but also nearly lost his life.

Just at this moment, a flash of light appeared in Todd Anderson's eyes. Half of the newspaper drifted toward the ground.

"You... what are you doing."

Todd Anderson felt a sharp pain in his neck. His body gradually stiffened.

"You have ten minutes at most."

Su Xiao threw Luo Jie's sidearm to Todd Anderson. Todd Anderson caught it instinctively. After seeing the appearance of the firearm in his hand, his face changed repeatedly.

A few minutes later, Su Xiao put away Luo Jie's sidearm.

"Appraisal fee, name your price."

"This time, it's... free."

Todd Anderson swallowed. He didn't even dare to raise his hand to wipe the bloodstains on his neck.

Facts proved that holding a blade to a plot character's neck was far more effective than negotiating with a plot character using the Charisma attribute.

Just like now, Su Xiao felt that his 30-point Charisma attribute was of no use at all, but after holding the blade to Todd Anderson's neck, the other party became very cooperative, even generously waiving the appraisal fee. When Su Xiao was leaving, the other party even sent him to the door, very "enthusiastic."

On the street, Su Xiao checked the attributes of Luo Jie's sidearm. After checking, he learned that this gun was somewhat special.

Before this derived world ended, Luo Jie's sidearm was in a semi-sealed state. Its only function was to be exchanged for 10000 Pirate Reputation points.

And after Su Xiao returned to the Reincarnation Paradise, this gun would be converted from a consumable into equipment.

Su Xiao wouldn't exchange Luo Jie's sidearm for Pirate Reputation for the time being. The best choice was to exchange it just before the world ended; that was the most secure choice. ===== CHAPTER 1348 =====
