Chapter 37 Am I that scary? (Ch 37)

“Um?”

Just then, a team of navy men pushed open the door of the bar and walked in.

The one walking in front was a man with a big beard who looked very similar to the old man, but this one was a strong man.

He walked hurriedly to the bar, looked at the old man nervously and asked.

“Father, are you okay?”

He is the wine-making son mentioned by the old man, and also the head of the naval branch in this small town, “Colonel Big Beard”.

When Big Beard received the news that Kota and his crew had landed on Prosimus Island, he was not so anxious.

Because according to the intelligence from the Navy Headquarters, this group of pirates are not the kind of pirates who act recklessly.

Another reason is that his own strength does not allow him to arrest pirates with such a high bounty.

As for Kota and his gang, all the branch navy can do is to monitor them at all times and try not to conflict with them.

The task of arresting Kota and his gang was given to the rear admirals and vice admirals of the Marine Headquarters.

But when he heard that Kota had gone to his family’s bar, he could no longer sit still.

He quickly summoned the navy and rushed over in a hurry.

Although Kota and his crew seem to be a group of pirates who do not harm civilians, pirates are pirates. It would be bad if they went crazy and hurt his father.

Ever since the navy came in.

The old man’s originally calm demeanor suddenly became a little nervous.

He didn’t look at the bearded man, he just kept staring at Sorata.

When the bearded man came in, Kota basically knew what the old man was like.

He looked at the scene with amusement and asked the old man, “Am I so scary?”

The marines that came in following the bearded man all stared at Kota and Kuina with nervous expressions.

They all kept silent, making the entire pub seem tense and dull.

The old man stared at Kota for a while and gradually relaxed. Even at his age, he was still quite good at judging people.

“It’s not you who’s scary, it’s your bounty order that’s scary!”

“In my entire life, old man, I’ve never actually seen a pirate with a bounty as high as yours!”

The old man’s humorous voice broke the tense atmosphere in the pub.

Kota turned his chair and glanced at the marines around him, finally stopping his gaze on the bearded man.

“Navy, am I so scary?”

His gentle voice did nothing to dispel the navy’s nervousness.

The bearded man stared at Kota closely, suppressed his fear and said loudly: “Pirate, don’t be so arrogant. We, the righteous navy, are not afraid of pirates.”

He spoke louder and louder, and in the end he stood straight.

He stared at Sora and yelled.

“Justice will prevail.”

“Justice will prevail.”

The surrounding marines subconsciously straightened their backs and roared.

Kota stared at the bearded man, a smile flashed in his eyes, and he said, “Don’t worry, as long as you don’t come to disturb us, we will leave after buying things.”

He also admired the bearded man very much, and believed that such a navy was a good navy.

Even though they were very scared, they still stood at the forefront of the people without hesitation.

Kota ignored the bearded man. He turned around and smiled at the old man, “Grandpa, we are law-abiding citizens. We never take anything from the villagers. Just tell me how much you want.”

The old man now regained his calm demeanor.

He smoked a cigarette, a gleam in his eyes, and slowly stretched out his right hand, spread out his five fingers, and raised it in front of Kota.

“What? It’s only 50,000! I thought it was much more expensive?”

Staring at the old man’s hands.

Kong Tai breathed a sigh of relief, and just as he was about to take out money from his pocket to pay, the old man suddenly spoke.

“Boy, it’s 500,000, not 50,000!”

“What?”

Kota stared at the old man in shock.

“Old man, can you tell me how much it is?”

He deliberately showed a ferocious expression.

His change of expression scared the navy officers nearby.

The sailors were sweating coldly, staring at the old man and shouting wildly in their hearts.

“Don’t seek death, sir. We are facing a big pirate!”

The old man still had that leisurely demeanor. He slowly took out his pipe and knocked on the bar.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The crisp knocking sounds seemed to be knocking on the navy’s hearts. They all stiffened their bodies and looked at the old man nervously.

The old man ignored the nervousness of the navy men.

He looked at Kota and said firmly, “500,000, not a cent less.”

“Well!”

The marines looked at the old man with their hearts trembling, they could all foresee that Kota was about to get furious.

But they waited for a while, but did not receive any anger from Kota.

Instead, what they heard was Kota and the old man bargaining like the aunties in the vegetable market.

“Old man, I have tolerated you for a long time, please don’t be so arrogant.”

“What’s wrong with being arrogant?”

“Hit me!”

“Anyway, I’m leaving it here. 500,000, not a penny less.”

“Hey! I can’t control you anymore, can I?”

…

Kota rolled up his sleeves and had a heated argument with the old man, and finally got the price down to 300,000.

Finally, Kong Tai paid the money with a depressed look on his face.

On the other hand, the old man was counting his money with a smug look on his face.

From this we can see that in the end, Kongtai lost the price war.

It turns out that old ginger is still spicy.

…

It wasn’t until Kota and the others walked out of the tavern that the marines all breathed a sigh of relief.

It’s not that they are cowardly! It’s because the other party’s bounty order is so scary!

The old man smoked a cigarette and glanced at the bearded man indifferently.

Then he took off his pipe and tapped the bearded man on the head.

“They’ve all left, what are you still looking at? Why don’t you go back? Do you want to stay here for dinner?”

The bearded man was brought back to his senses by this knock.

He looked at the old man with excitement on his face.

“Father, are you some great master? I saw you chatting and laughing with that big pirate without changing your expression. You looked so impressive!”

“Also, he actually paid for the drinks obediently.”

As he spoke, he analyzed seriously: “No wonder so many people came to you to buy wine before, it turns out that you have always been a hidden master!”

After finishing the analysis, he nodded and looked at the old man with an expression that said, “I understand everything.”

The more the bearded man spoke, the uglier the old man’s expression became, and in the end he just stood there.

After being stunned for a while, he shook his head, raised his pipe and hit the bearded man.

“You must be a fool! Can’t you see that I was nervous at the beginning, too?”

“Master, look at me, a master, I will smash your stupid head.”

The bearded man looked at the old man’s actions, quickly stepped back a few steps and rushed out of the tavern, and the rest of the navy quickly followed.

The old man put down his pipe, looked at the empty tavern through the smoke, and pondered for a while.

He lay back on the recliner, squinting his eyes and smoking.

The entire tavern returned to its original state, dark and silent.

At this time, from the bar came the exclamation of the old man and Kota when they first met.

“Young people nowadays are incredible!”
