Chapter 105 Negotiations at the Table (Seeking 5-star review)

...

Dalton was originally happy to see his opponent using his physical strength to confront him head-on, but he didn't expect that the enemy would be calm after enduring his full-strength attack, and his feet didn't even move back half a step!

He looked up in shock, and met Senior's eyes under the white mask, which were as dark as a black hole, without any emotion or life. (In fact, Senior was wearing sunglasses under the mask.)

"Weird, monster!"

"Kid! You're quite strong, but you should get some sleep!"

Senior used his palm as a knife and chopped Dalton's neck lightly at a speed that was almost invisible to the naked eye.

"Boom!"

The strong bull's eyes rolled back and it fell heavily to the ground with a thud, completely unresponsive.

"Click!"

Gel stepped over Dalton who had fainted on the ground, walked to the dining table, pulled a chair and sat opposite the king, and said with a smile:

"Huh? Why is there a little mouse here?"

"Ahhh, don't kill me, don't kill me! Father, please save me!"

After being discovered, Mushuru, who was hiding under the table, crawled towards the king in panic, shouting for mercy as he crawled.

Senior stepped forward quickly, grabbed his ankle from behind and pulled Mushulu out, and with another clean and sharp knife move, he sent the prince into a deep sleep.

The king wanted to speak up to stop it, but before he could shout out, the matter was over. Seeing that he was only knocked unconscious and his life was not in danger, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that this group of people are only after money and not for killing.

Senior turned his head and looked at Wapol, who was whimpering with a rag stuffed in his mouth. Wapol felt cold all over. He immediately understood what he meant. He quickly closed his mouth, gently knocked his head against the ground, and lay down, pretending to have fainted.

This wave of operations made Gel's mouth twitch.

"Hey! Well, no one can disturb us now, let's sit down and have a good talk, Your Majesty!"

Ger sat in a chair, crossed his fingers and supported his chin.

Before Gel could finish his words, another seven or eight guards rushed in shouting.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"

"Hurry up and protect His Majesty!"

The king saw that the person leading the group was none other than his own captain of guards, Hilton, the strongest warrior in the kingdom, and that he was followed by several members of an elite team guarding the treasury. A rare hint of joy appeared on his pale face.

Captain Gel, who had just finished speaking and was slapped in the face at the speed of light when no one interrupted him, turned his head in dissatisfaction and glared over.

"Om!!"

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The black light waves penetrated the bodies of several guards who rushed in. They didn't know what was happening yet and their eyes lost focus in an instant. Then they staggered forward a few steps as if they were hit by bullets and fell to the ground one after another, foaming at the mouth.

The king's face showed horror, and the hope that had just risen in his heart was instantly extinguished.

In order not to shock people, Gel did not use his full strength.

Therefore, Hilton, the strongest guard among the guards, did not lose consciousness under the impact of the Domineering Haki, but at this time he was kneeling on one knee on the ground in embarrassment, trying to get up with difficulty but failed after several attempts.

"Is this? An evil devil fruit ability?"

Hilton had followed the old king to sea and participated in several world conferences. He was not completely ignorant of the terrifying strength of the overseas strongmen, but even so, he had to admit that the enemy in front of him was the most powerful human he had ever seen in his life! He knew very well that the three people in front of him were not something he could deal with.

But what if he was defeated? He was the captain of the guard! If even he surrendered and gave up resistance, who would be able to protect His Majesty the King?

Hilton suddenly reversed the sword in his hand and stabbed it hard into his thigh. As blood oozed out, he felt a sharp pain that made him frown and groan. It was this pain that made his body temporarily forget the fear and reawakened his paralyzed and stiff limbs.

Hilton slowly stood up, holding a long sword in his hand and pointing it at Gel, and suddenly he had an unstoppable momentum.

"Your Majesty, please leave quickly. I will hold them back!"

There was determination in his words, and it was obvious that he was mentally prepared to sacrifice himself.

"Calm down, Hilton, don't be impulsive! These three friends won't kill me! If they really came to kill me, I'm afraid I would have been beheaded by now."

"Squeak!"

The king prevented his heroic death and pulled out a chair and sat down.

Looking at Gel opposite him, he said:

"Okay, now no one will bother us anymore, let's sit down and have a good talk! Mr. Man in Black!"

The two sat down, and the long dining table instantly turned into a negotiation table.

"Clap clap clap!"

Ger clapped softly.

"I admire your courage and spirit, King of the Drum Kingdom."

"Haha, you invaded a member country of the World Government with only three people. I admire your courage and spirit for not taking the World Government and the Navy seriously."

The king said calmly.

Seeing that both sides still had a chance to sit down and talk, Hilton quietly retreated to the king's side, still holding the sword tightly in his hand, and was carefully guarding against Gel and the other two.

"Haha, Your Majesty, are you reminding me that you are protected by the World Government and the Navy?"

"To be honest, if I really wanted to attack you, my men could kill everyone in this castle in an instant. By the time the World Government and the Navy react, it would be too late. By then, wouldn't it be more in their interest to just support a puppet king to help them rule and exploit this country better? Why bother tracking down the murderer? Maybe they'll even thank me in their hearts!"

Gel's simple and straightforward words instantly made the king break out in a cold sweat.

It was not because of how scary Gel's words were, but because he himself had already agreed with Gel's statement in his heart. Based on his understanding of the World Government, that group of greedy and unscrupulous guys might really do such a thing.

"Ahem, there's no need to test each other. If you have any needs, please tell us directly. We can discuss things. Please don't hurt innocent soldiers."

The king coughed twice and surrendered.

"Well, your Majesty is also an open-minded person, so I won't waste any more words. I heard that your country's treasury is piled high with gold, silver, jewels and all kinds of treasures. I hope to have the honor to go in and take a look."

Gel's words were already very straightforward, but the king was in a dilemma for a moment. There were no mountains of treasures in his own treasury. The only valuable things in the entire castle were those boxes of gold.

As for the other party's statement that it was just a visit, the king would not believe a word of this rogue statement.

The king clenched his hands so tightly that he didn't even notice his nails digging into his flesh.

These damn bandits!

Why didn't they come earlier or later, but just when I had prepared to hand over the Heavenly Gold? If they came to rob at any other time, I would lose if they could find 200 million Baileys in the castle, no matter how they searched. Is there a traitor? Are they here just for this Heavenly Gold?

How to do?

The time to pay the tax is coming soon. If they take the money away, there is no way we can collect another 10 billion Beli in such a short time. The consequences of not paying the tax are not something the country can afford. Collecting taxes again will directly cost the lives of the citizens.

Damn it! What should I do?
