Chapter 1638 Captain

Little Red Fish's thinking mode is quite post-modern, to the point that I can't accept it at all.

Frightened, I immediately kept a safe distance from him and crossed my arms, trembling.

"What?" The little red fish glared at me and said angrily, "As if I am a man-eating monster."

I thought to myself, you are no better than a monster. If you meet a monster, your life will be at risk at most, but if you meet you, your life will be at risk!

After the commotion for a while, the little red fish sat on the ebony chair and said seriously: "Tell me, what do you want to see me for?"

I also sat down opposite him and said seriously: "I hope you can do me a favor."

"Huh?" He rolled his eyelids and chuckled: "It's really rare that the most powerful young man in Zefeng Continent would seek help from a mere custom shop owner?"

"A mere custom shop owner?" I also laughed, shook my head and said, "This is probably the funniest joke I have ever heard."

Little Red Fish's eyes flashed, and he said calmly: "Then I really want to ask you, apart from being the owner of a custom shop, what else do you know about me?"

"I don't know much." I shook my head, picked up a peanut, gently peeled off the outer layer, revealing the light yellow flesh inside, and said slowly: "But there are some clues, just like the outer skin of peanuts, just rub it gently, It will reveal the truth inside.”

I raised my head and looked at the little red fish, and I said leisurely: "It is already very difficult for ordinary people to survive in troubled times, let alone running a custom shop that is full of people. It is even more difficult. If it is really ordinary, I'm afraid I've been disturbed by the gangsters who come and go."

He sneered and said, "Maybe it's because I have a wide range of interests and am deeply appreciated and protected by some high-ranking and powerful people."

"In today's Airui City, apart from the city lord, who else has such great power?" I sighed softly, shook my head slowly and said, "But the city lord is not as good as Long Yang, and he doesn't like custom shops. Woman, tell me, what other assets do you have that can win the appreciation of the city lord?"

I looked at the sharp eyes of the little red fish for a few seconds, raised my hand, threw the peanut into my mouth, crunched it twice, and continued: "Then there are only two guesses. First, you can meet the needs of the city lord. But is it possible? The income from the custom shop is indeed high, but will the city lord care about such a small amount of money? Or if you can provide the city lord with the necessary information, how will the city lord’s intelligence agency be embarrassed? The only possibility is that you have enough to deter other people. A person’s strength, or identity.”

"When identity and strength are juxtaposed, I prefer the latter."

Suddenly, I swung the Odachi sword and slashed at the neck of the little red fish.

Although the sword was not unsheathed and no killing intent was gathered, it had accumulated most of the power in my right arm and could easily cut off the head of a third-level adventurer in an instant.

If the little red fish is really an ordinary person, this knife will take his life, but no matter how good it is, living in troubled times, drifting in uncertainty, and not having enough background or strength to support, the ending will only be miserable, why not do it like me Just help him get rid of it.

As the blade approached inch by inch, the anticipation in my heart grew stronger. If it were an ordinary person, facing a sudden knife, he would probably only be confused and fearful, but he was different.

I can see the strong confidence in his calm eyes.

This women's clothing boss is not simple.

With a muffled sound, the Odachi stopped an inch away from his neck.

It's not that I showed mercy, but it was stopped by a more powerful force.

The little red fish was smiling and still sitting calmly across from me. He gently picked up the tea cup with his left hand and sipped it. His right hand rested on the front of his neck, his fingers bent to form a snake's mouth and he bit the scabbard firmly.

I smiled slightly, slowly put away the knife, and said leisurely: "It seems that I made the right bet."

The little red fish suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. The charming smile on his face disappeared in an instant and turned into a serious and rough expression. He said in a deep voice: "Have you finally discovered it? It's really a little late."

"Oh?" I asked in confusion: "Late?"

"Yeah," he said, "I thought you would find it earlier, but it's not bad. It seems that Harold is quite accurate in judging people."

"You mean Harold?!" I was suddenly startled: "Do you know him?"

Little Red Fish chuckled: "Not only do I know him, but I am also very familiar with him. We were once members of the same team, but well, I was the captain, and he was just a newcomer."

"No wonder, no wonder you have the strength to completely crush me."

"It's just that you haven't grown up yet." Little Red Fish put down the tea cup and said slowly: "Tell me, how can I help you?"

I looked stunned and said in disbelief: "Are you willing to help me?"

"Why not?" said the little red fish: "Since Harold, that innocent boy, is willing to believe you, you must not be a bad person."

"Why does this reason make me feel uncomfortable?"

Sighing softly, I said: "I need you to help me contact the city lord."

"What are you contacting him for?" Little Red Fish asked, "Do you want to kill him?"

"Do you think that's possible?"

Little Red Fish shook his head and said, "If I could do it, I would have done it long ago."

"That's it," I said, "I'm not trying to assassinate him, but I want to talk to him about something."

Little Red Fish nodded, changed the subject, and said, "It's time to tell you why you want me to help you."

"Huh?" I said in confusion, "Didn't you just say you were willing to help me?"

"I said I would help you," the little red fish explained, "but I didn't say I would definitely help you. You have to give me a proper reason to convince me."

"Reason?" I thought for a while, but I really couldn't think of any reason, so I shook my head and said, "Sorry, I can't think of any."

"Let's do this." He smiled slyly: "Tell me the purpose of your conversation with him. Maybe I will agree as soon as I am happy."

After a slight hesitation, I told him the true purpose of my trip.

After hearing this, the little red fish started to cry. While crying, he wiped his tears with a handkerchief.

I was sweating profusely: "Does it need to be so exaggerated?"

The little red fish wiped away his tears and sobbed: "So you stinky men are not good at all, and you don't even cry for such a touching story."

Get rid of it, you are a stinky man yourself, okay?

After crying for a long time, the little red fish wiped his red and swollen eyes and sobbed: "Okay, I agree to this matter. Just wait, I will invite the city lord to come over."

I thought to myself that the city lord's house is your back garden, and the city lord is your servant. Can you invite me just by asking?

However, the facts surprised me again.

Not only was the city lord invited over, but it was also within just forty minutes.

To be honest, I was quite surprised. I had even planned to meet the city lord a day later.
