Chapter 179

The old shopkeeper nodded with a smile, revealing a satisfied smile for this disciple of his.

At this time, the first assistant also thought and said, "Shopkeeper, to put it bluntly! All of this is simply not something we can change. Obediently handing over everything will bring us the best benefits. We will live, we will continue to survive, and our status will become higher and higher."

"Just..."

The first assistant thought slightly and said, "Shopkeeper, there is one thing I don't particularly understand."

"Let's hear it."

Although there was no change on the surface, the old shopkeeper had already excluded the first disciple. Unqualified! Unqualified! Simply unqualified. In every aspect, he was not enough—reaction speed, reaction time, and even his endurance in every aspect were completely incomparable to the second disciple.

Most crucially!

He did not have that moment of humility; instead, he was filled with arrogance. This was absolutely not allowed! Just kidding, this is the Red Line! To put it bluntly, if you throw a stone, you might hit a World Noble.

Precisely because of this!

Under such circumstances, the result brought by this so-called arrogance would be death, which would not be an exaggeration at all. Precisely because of this, such arrogance was absolutely not allowed. The old shopkeeper did not show anything, but he had already excluded the first assistant, preparing to cultivate his second disciple with all his might. He even knew very clearly what this assistant wanted to ask.

"Shopkeeper!" the first assistant said seriously, "Why don't you choose to tell this person about us..."

"Hehehe~~~"

The old shopkeeper interrupted the first assistant's words and asked with a smile, "Do you think that if you go to the Luokesi Pirate Crew, which is composed of a group of madmen, and mention who is behind us, what will the result be?!"

"Guess what the consequences will be?!"

The old man's smile was very gentle, but he continued very calmly, "These madmen even dare to attack the Red Line and attack the World Government. Do you think the people behind you can compare to the World Government? Can you guess what everything behind this represents?"

Listening to the old shopkeeper's words, the first assistant fell into silence. Clearly, he already understood what all this meant and was even clearer about what kind of result this would be.

"This!"

"Is the true core."

"Remember!"

"Some people, they will feel fear."

"Some people, they will feel terror."

"And..."

"Among these people, pirates are absolutely not included. And this monster Locke, you all know why he left the Noxas Empire and became a pirate. Do you think he would fear all of this?"

The old shopkeeper continued to teach softly, but he was becoming increasingly dissatisfied with the first assistant. How could such a thing even need to be asked?

Simply an idiot!

Simply trash!

If such a guy were really left on the Red Line, the result brought to himself and the forces behind him would be devastating. This was a matter beyond doubt. Precisely because of this, all of this was already beyond doubt.

This disciple, following his retirement, should just leave with him. As for the second assistant, he was slightly satisfied. At the very least, he did not commit such idiotic behavior. However, he was still not mature enough; many things still needed to be cultivated. Otherwise, he was still simply not qualified. Many things were still not enough, not enough, simply not enough.

And regarding all of this, the old shopkeeper certainly saw it very clearly and understood it very clearly.

"Remember!" the old shopkeeper continued, "You shouldn't reason with these madmen who are pirates. Indeed, in the eyes of big shots, they are just a bunch of mud-legged people, not worth mentioning, and can't even get on the stage!"

"But!"

"What kind of status do we have?!"

"Hehehe~~~"

"These pirates, even those big shots are unwilling to provoke them. The reason is very simple! Because these people are a bunch of real, solid madmen. They have no scruples at all. Do you think that when facing these madmen, what will your result be?"

"Fight them to the death?"

"Hehehe~~~"

The old shopkeeper did not say the words behind, but the meaning was already very obvious.

Impossible!

This is just the behavior of an idiot! Anyone with a brain could not possibly do such an idiotic thing. After all, everyone knows very clearly what the results and costs of going to war with them would be.

They are barefoot and not afraid of those wearing shoes.

If you win, you don't profit; if you lose, you lose blood.

Such a result!

Precisely because of this!

Among the major forces, basically no one really goes to war with pirate crews. This is simply not an appropriate thing! You say you won, what can you get? These pirates just kick their legs, and I can die for you to see.

And for yourself?!

You have a big family and a big business; if you lose something, you can't bear it!

Precisely because of this!

This is the true core. And under such circumstances, this is the true core. Precisely because of this, these things are more like a joke; just listen to them. And if you really take them seriously?!

Hehehe~~~

That would be very awkward. Sometimes, it's just like this. No matter when it is, use your brain a little!

Remember!

This is a real world, not a fake world. And in such a real world, as long as you are not an idiot, then you should be very clear about what the situation will be next!

This is absolutely beyond doubt. Looking at all of this clearly is very important!!!
