Chapter 874: Not enough

...

"Lord Geer, you are here this time to discuss something important with the chief, right? The chief has been notified and is on his way. He should be here soon."

"It's nothing important. As you can see, we are just here to eat."

Gel turned around, looked up and down at the energetic old man in front of him, then said with a smile.

"Tell Long that if it's nothing important, he doesn't need to come."

Ace went to find his good brother Sabo, and Gur just took Weevil out for a stroll because he had nothing to do.

"Haha, it was nothing, but seeing you now reminds me of something."

Gel narrowed his eyes slightly.

"I wonder what Lord Gel is doing?"

Shimotsuki Kangjia couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, fearing that Gel would recall the unhappy "past events".

"Are you in charge of Jiuli now?"

"Yes, Lord Gur."

Kang Jia nodded.

"You've come just in time. Please help me settle the bill first. I forgot to bring money when I went out today. I'll pay you back another day. It's not easy for them to run a small business. You know, I'm not the kind of person who likes to eat and drink for free."

Gel said seriously.

"Lord Gel, you are too polite. Without your help and the help of the comrades of the Revolutionary Army, the people of Wano Country would not be able to live the good life they have today. It is natural for me to be responsible for your visit to Kuri City. There is no reason for you to pay for it yourself."

Kang Jia said seriously.

"Oh, please!"

Captain Gill raised the corners of his mouth.

"No problem! Please rest assured and leave this little thing to me!"

Kang Jia agreed immediately, then took out his dry purse and asked the shopkeeper next to him.

"Boss, how much is the total?"

"Ah! No! No thanks! Master Kang, you are busy with all kinds of things every day. You are usually busy seeking benefits for us civilians. Just some worthless food is not enough to repay your kindness! How dare I ask Master Kang for money? If I do, I will be stabbed in the back by everyone in Jiuli!"

"Stop talking nonsense. You have to pay for your food! This is a matter of course. No one will blame you behind your back. Stop making excuses! If you insist on not charging or charging less, I will be angry!"

"Uh... I don't dare."

Seeing the Kang family's unhappy expression, the shopkeeper had no choice but to obey and immediately took out the account book and told the truth.

"These two gentlemen ate 200 servings of fried chicken nuggets, which cost 4 Baileys in total. We have a discount today, so we'll charge you 4 Baileys!"

"What! So many!?"

Kang Jia's hand holding the wallet couldn't help but tremble.

Although he was the administrator of Jiuli, he had always been an honest official with incorruptible conduct.

In addition, the revolutionary army has grown rapidly in size in recent years, and money is needed everywhere. However, they have implemented a management policy of light taxes and low levies for civilians living on the ground, resulting in a soaring debt ratio year by year.

Realizing that living on borrowed money is not a long-term solution, the revolutionary army has been increasing revenue and reducing expenditure in recent years and working hard to reduce the fiscal deficit. As management and cadre, Kang Jia naturally volunteered to take the lead and significantly reduced his personal salary.

In short - poor! Forty thousand Baileys is almost his monthly salary!

"I dare not make false reports! Sir, how about..."

The shop owner looked aggrieved and told you it wasn't necessary, but you insisted giving it to me, and then when you heard the price you complained it was too expensive.

"Ahem, I didn't say you were exaggerating. I was just surprised at... your huge appetite."

The words had already been spoken, so the Kang family had no choice but to bite the bullet and take out all the Baileys in the purse and count them.

"Um... Aju, Xiaozi... How much money do you have on you? Lend it to me first. I was in a hurry to go out today and didn't bring much money..."

Realizing that he was still far from there, Kang Jia could only awkwardly ask for help from the two guards behind him.

Hearing the familiar name, Gel then noticed the two guards standing behind Shimotsuki Yasuie.

Both of them had princess-style bangs, their long light blue and dark blue hair were tied into ponytails, they were wearing armor, and had white demon masks on their faces, revealing only two pairs of bright eyes.

The three of them groped for a long time and searched all their pockets before they finally collected 4 Baileys. Shimotsuki Yasuie handed the money to the store owner with a distressed look on his face.

"Here! 4 Baileys, count them again!"

"Logarithmic, logarithmic, thank you, Master Kang."

The store owner accepted it directly, fully expressing his trust in the customer.

Shimotsuki Yasuie wiped the sweat off his forehead, but before he could even breathe a sigh of relief, he heard Captain Gol laughing.

"It's not just this one store, it's this whole street."

“What? This…!”

The Kang family looked at the snack street that stretched as far as the eye could see and fell into silence.

Xiao Zi opened her big round eyes. It was the first time in her life that she met such an impolite person.

Kikunosuke frowned slightly and stared at Captain Gel with strange eyes. If he remembered correctly, the man in front of him was the big creditor behind their revolutionary army!

Hundreds of billions of Bailey’s funds can be borrowed at will, but why don’t you pay for tens of thousands of yuan for food yourself?

...

Wonokuni

Tuwan Labor Camp.

"One-two-one! One-two-one!"

"Bang! Bang! Hey! Hey!"

A group of prisoners were shirtless, sweating over their youth.

"Oh no! I can't do it anymore! I can't do it anymore!"

A strong man, who was obviously full of energy, shouted in a deliberately weak voice.

"Crack!"

As soon as the man stopped the pickaxe in his hand, a loud bang of the whip immediately hit his back hard!

"Ouch~ (It feels so good!) It hurts so much!"

The man couldn't help but let out a scream, but his face showed an obscene expression of success.

"Mm~~ It's such an irresistible scream!"

A beautiful blonde girl in a pink sexy leather jacket came over. She swung the whip in her hand with an intoxicated look on her face.

"I'm so sorry, Miss Sadie, but I can't do it anymore."

"Ah! Me too! Me too! Please whip me harder!"

"Mi Rabbit!"

The prisoners jumped out one after another.

"Clap! Clap! Clap!"

"Don't be lazy! You damned stinky laborers!"

Sadie raised the whip again and whipped everyone mercilessly, but the next second she became timid and said shyly.

"Hate it! I've told you so many times to call me little Sadie!"

"Hahaha! Yes! Little Sadie! Little Sadie!"

The laborers became more and more excited as they pumped. Each of them seemed to have gained unlimited strength. They began to work desperately and the quarry was suddenly bustling with activity!

"a bunch of idiots!"

At one side, a man with short green hair who was concentrating on mining couldn't help but complain helplessly after seeing the group of workers around him who deserved a beating.
