Chapter 66 Lighter (Seeking 5-star review)

...

"Please spare us, sir! We know we were wrong and we won't do it again. Please spare us!"

The major and the sergeant said as they kowtowed.

"We will write a self-reflection letter today and voluntarily accept the navy's punishment!"

"Yeah!"

Their desire to survive made them choose to go to jail rather than be chopped to death by Gur.

Seeing that the hammer had achieved its effect, Geer continued:

"If I wanted to kill you, I would have done it a long time ago."

When they heard that they would not have to die, the two men kowtowed to express their gratitude.

"Thank you very much for not killing me! Thank you very much for not killing me!"

"Shut up! Make no mistake. Not killing you doesn't mean I forgive you. I'm not qualified to forgive you on behalf of those soldiers who died. I'm not killing you just because I think 10 out of 9 people in the navy are rotten. If I kill you and replace you with someone else, the situation may only get worse, so I decided to give you a chance to make amends!"

"Sir! Please speak!"

"Ahem, I also know that if there is no money, this base will be evacuated in no time. It will be even more dangerous for the people in the town to redeem the bounty and go out to sea."

"Yes, yes, yes! Sir, you are absolutely right! Everyone only sees us sucking blood! But no one sees how much effort we put into setting up this base! How much money was spent to smooth the relationship between the upper and lower levels! No one has thought about how much trouble it would be for them to redeem the bounty without this base, and this was not entirely our idea."

The major and the sergeant hugged Gel's thighs on each side and cried loudly. At this moment, they regarded Gel as a confidant, as if the grievances they had suffered in their hearts for many years were finally vindicated!

Female navy officers Kiki and Agan were both a little surprised. With their brains, they really had no idea that there were so many twists and turns involved. Their admiration for Lord Gul increased a bit more.

Gel kicked the two men to the ground one by one.

"Get lost! Stop crying. You guys are just trying to make money. You don't have any grievances!"

"Yes, yes, sir, you are right!"

The two of them got up from the ground and didn't dare to cry anymore.

Gel spread his thumb and index finger and made a gesture:

"Eighty percent!"

"In the future, if you come to redeem the bounty, you must promise to give 80% of it and not find any excuses to deduct it. If you can do that, I will let you go. By the way, I will also tell your accomplices that if anyone is dissatisfied with this rule, you can hand the list to Miss Qiqi. I believe she is a righteous navy! His father is the base commander. If the base commander can't handle him, he will naturally report it. Can you do it?"

"Yes! I definitely can!"

"Of course! Don't worry, sir!"

Ger clapped his hands!

"That's fine! Forrest, take the money, and we're going back. When you get back, tell everyone in town that if anyone redeems their bounty and gets their money deducted at will, notify me."

"Ah! Yes! Lord Gur!"

Gel deliberately spoke loudly so that the navy could hear it. It could be considered an extra level of supervision and protection.

After saying that, Gur and Forrest Gump carried the suitcases containing the money and walked out. The major and the sergeant hurried over to help, and Kiki followed behind, looking very worried.

"Ah? Where are the horses? Oh no, Lord Gel, our horses are missing?"

When he came to the carriage, he found that the horse pulling the carriage was missing. This made him very anxious! He looked everywhere for it, because this was a rented carriage.

Without Gel's instructions, the major gave the sergeant a look and he quickly ran to ask the Marines around him. Finally, he learned from the soldier guarding the gate that the horse was ridden away by a fellow villager.

"That uncle looks like a jerk with thick eyebrows and big eyes. I didn't expect him to be a jerk? He rode away on the horse without saying a word."

Geer was a little dissatisfied. Who would borrow things like this? This carriage was rented. If there was an accident, how would the responsibility be determined?

A-Gump shook his head and defended:

"Lord Tiema must have something urgent that he couldn't tell me in time, so he can only ride back on horseback. He is not that kind of person."

The major and the sergeant looked at each other, and saw the expressions of qualified lackeys on each other's faces. They understood each other and said in unison:

"Don't worry, Master Ger. We will go and get two fast horses for you right away."

After saying that, the two of them ran away. When Forrest Gump heard about the horse, he moved the box onto the carriage first.

Finally getting the chance to be alone, Kiki walked up to Geer with a flushed face.

Seeing that she had been silent for a long time and had been twirling her fingers, Geer asked:

"Is something wrong?"

"No, it's okay."

Qiqi didn't know why she felt so nervous and her heart was pounding just talking to this man. Her usual domineering attitude of "old lady in front of old lady" was no longer there.

"Oh, I'm glad you're okay."

...

"Are you leaving?"

"Yes."

"When can we meet again?"

She felt steam coming off her face as she said this.

Geer stared at her in astonishment, thinking:

What do you want to do? You want to steal my lighter?

After rolling his eyes, Gel took out a box of lighter refills from somewhere and gave them to her. They were not valuable things anyway. He also taught her how to use them. This big box of gas cylinders was enough to light cigarettes for eight or ten years.

"These will be enough for you to use for a long time. When you run out, I'll give you some more next time we meet."

"Let's go~ Bye everyone."

Just then, the major and the sergeant had tied the two tall horses to the front of the carriage. Gel jumped onto the carriage and waved goodbye to the few people.

"My Lord, please take care~"

The major and the sergeant said goodbye in tears, looking very helpless.

Kiki waited until the carriage disappeared from her sight before she looked down at the lighter in her right hand. The ceramic shell was printed with purple lavender. She then looked at the box in her left hand. Thinking of how Gel had just taught her how to use it, Kiki's mouth curled up into a beautiful arc.

"Sure enough! He has me in his heart!"

...

"Thump thump thump~"

“The river flows eastwards, the stars in the sky are the Big Dipper (hehehehe, the Big Dipper) ... When you see injustice, you should speak out, and when it’s time to take action, you should take action...\”

"Meow meow meow~~"

On the way back, Gel, in a good mood, sat in the carriage, eating and humming loudly the familiar songs from his previous life. Lab, who loved singing since childhood, meowed along with Gel's rhythm.

Forrest Gump, who was sitting in the front of the carriage, was grinning happily. Although he couldn't understand what Lord Gel was singing and his pronunciation was unclear because of the food in his mouth, the unrestrained and heroic melody of the song still made his heart surge!

After this day, Forrest Gump's admiration for Lord Gul was like the endless rushing of a river or the unstoppable flooding of the Yellow River.

He was really grateful to Geer for doing so much for their town. Not only did he get back 4 million Baileys, but he also made sure that the vampires in the navy would not dare to charge random fees in the future.

Forrest Gump listened carefully to the song sung by Ger and wanted to write it down.

As the sun sets, when the carriage passes the martyrs' cemetery on the top of the mountain again, Gel leans his head out of the car and looks at the tombstones all over the mountain, but his mood is not as heavy as when he came.

No matter where the world will be led, this ridiculous era of pirates will surely come to an end!
