Chapter 444 Cognition Lesson
The plainclothes guard subconsciously saluted Bogart and reported everything that had just happened.
After understanding everything, Bogart looked at Arthur seriously.
"This is not a public entertainment venue. Please go somewhere else."
Bogart's tone and expression were extremely serious, and his every move, including the two soldiers beside him, did not seem like that of an ordinary person at all.
None of them were wearing military uniforms or justice cloaks, but were patrolling outside the villa in casual clothes.
Arthur raised his head and looked at Bogart, who was not far away from him, calmly as if he was looking at a giant.
After thinking alone for a while, Arthur decided to turn around and leave, and not to contact these people.
Leia hurried to catch up with him, looking back at the tall and strong men outside the villa.
"Those people must not be civilians, right? When the gatekeepers saw the man in the hat with a knife on his waist, they immediately became very respectful and even saluted."
Even a little country girl could tell they were not ordinary people.
"They are all Garp's men. It's better for ordinary people like us not to contact them. Let's just play around in the village today."
Leia was shocked when she heard the news. No wonder she was sweating all over. It turned out that the people around her were a group of plainclothes navy men who had fought with pirates before.
"The noble families were attacked. What did Rocks want to do? Destroy the bloodlines of the noble families of the high-ranking officials in the navy?"
Back at the Windmill Village Pier, Arthur sat down on the steps next to the signpost, looking deeply at the sea and analyzing.
He didn't know Rocks, but he knew very well that in this era, 90% of the guys in the higher echelons of the navy were descendants of aristocratic families.
Leia, who was following behind him, looked at the capital city on the mountain with longing on her face, not knowing what to do.
Arthur's sharp eyes noticed the longing in his eyes, and he blurted out,
"We will meet at the port in the capital in two days. You can have fun however you want during this time. You don't have to follow me."
"What about you?" Leia was very happy to get the permission, but she felt a little uncomfortable. She subconsciously asked Arthur,
"what are you up to?"
Arthur stretched out his hands, yawned, and replied with a little sleepiness,
"I am old now, and it is enough for me to look at the mountains, the sea, and the peaceful scenery of the village."
Old ass! When Leia heard Arthur say "I'm old", she immediately retorted with disdain in her heart.
He is only four years old, but he always pretends to be so profound.
"Be careful of those young nobles. A brainless little girl like you with big breasts walking on the streets of a busy city is exactly their target." Arthur looked at Leia with a deep gaze, and after saying the last sentence, he lay on the ground and stopped talking.
The salty smell in the air and the gentle sea breeze blowing on his body made him enjoy an unprecedented peace.
He would rather keep it like this than keep fighting.
Leia didn't quite understand what Arthur said, and after getting permission to move freely, she happily walked towards the prosperous capital.
"Cooper?" (Now that she's gone, who are you going to hug at night?) At this moment, Cooper, who was squatting on Arthur's chest, called out.
The next moment, Arthur grabbed Cooper and started sucking madly.
"Hug you, who else can I hug!"
……
In the afternoon, in the bustling central square of the city, Leia looked around with expectant eyes.
There were actors, acrobatic performances, vendors, and people wearing all kinds of gorgeous costumes laughing and talking in the square.
Outside the hotel there are well-trained and elegantly dressed welcoming staff.
"Can I really spend it freely?" Leia pondered the last 30,000 Baileys. She wanted to experience every store that offered food, clothes, or life services wherever she looked.
For a country girl, all this prosperity is just an unattainable dream.
Unconsciously, the beauty before my eyes had blinded my eyes and the sincere warning.
She exuded the scent of a lost wild deer, but was also noticed by the beastly noble young masters who were attracted by her childish smell.
A day and a half——!
sunset.
There is about one day left until the good stuff auction.
The first port town of the Kingdom of Goa.
Arthur returned to his boat, covered in mud, and found that all the tunas had been taken away.
Ready to be auctioned at tomorrow's auction.
He yawned and looked around, all he saw were unfamiliar figures, ships, and overseas merchants.
Not seeing Leia, he climbed onto the deck of the ship, opened the door and looked inside.
It was empty, the girl wasn't lying on the bed, but there were a lot of shopping boxes and things, indicating that Leia had been back here.
"Where did it go?" Not seeing the pillow, Arthur's eyes instantly lost their laziness, narrowed slightly, and became unusually sharp.
After waiting for a while, the sky became completely dark.
Arthur and Cooper sat alone in the deep blue night, waiting for the servants to return, but there was no one in sight.
About another hour passed.
Outside the walls of Gaozhen where the nobles live, on a street block, outside the window of a gorgeously decorated hot pot restaurant.
Leia was inside, happily chatting with a young man who was wearing a jazz hat and a brightly decorated suit.
Dongdong——! Just when the two were chatting enthusiastically, with smiles on their faces.
There were two knocks on the window glass.
Leia and the boy sitting opposite her looked out the window at the same time, and immediately saw a child with an eagle on his shoulder.
"Arthur!" Leia recognized him and exclaimed, "How did you find this place?"
Outside the window, Arthur simply gestured to the port and said,
"gone."
Hearing his words, Leia immediately stood up from her seat and gave a strange salute to the young man in front of her with a smile.
"Sorry, I have to go! Thank you for your hospitality."
After saying that, she ran out of the store.
The noble boy was left with an unhappy look on his face and rushed out quickly.
"Wait, Lady Leia, who is this dirty, smelly kid? And why are we interrupting our meal because of him?"
The young man's face was full of dissatisfaction. He spent the whole day on the girl in front of him and got nothing in return. Naturally, he didn't want to stop.
"Well, I'm his servant, so I have to listen to what he says. Thank you, you're such a nice person and you showed me a lot of things." Leia replied with a smile and waved goodbye to him.
This response made the young nobleman's expression change drastically. He froze for a moment and said slowly,
"You said you were his servant? How could a dirty fellow like that own such a beautiful woman like you?"
The boy's distorted voice made Leia frown. He was completely different from the elegant voice just now.
"Aren't you going to say something to help me out?" Arthur realized something was wrong and asked Leia.
"The cauldron of innocence is about to fall on my head."
"How do I know that he suddenly changed? He was speaking elegantly just now and gave me a very gentle feeling." Leia didn't know what to do. She had too little experience and had never seen such a thing.
"How much!?" The young man suddenly shouted at Arthur, "Boy, how much does your servant cost? Her beauty deserves a better and more excellent living environment. How much do you want to sell her to me!"
Leia was stunned and horrified when she heard this. It felt very strange to be asked about the price like a commodity for the first time.
I thought he was just someone I met while shopping and wanted to chat with, so I thought we could make friends or something.
"My possessions are priceless." Arthur replied coldly to the boy.
"To put it simply, I'm not selling."
"Then all my energy and efforts for the day will be wasted, right?" the boy yelled angrily.
"Someone come here! I don't care, you have to name a price, at least let your servant accompany me for one night!"
Several burly men walked out of the alley.
"Master Neoli II, what do you need us to do?"
They paid tribute to the noble boy.
Arthur slapped his forehead and thought,
"Although Leia looks ordinary to me, she is a beauty to these playboys and ordinary people. If she is left unrestrained, will this be the result?"
Leia on the side was already shocked, not knowing why the boy, who had behaved like a gentleman and spoke elegantly just now, had such a sudden change of temperament.
She looked at Arthur and asked quietly, "What should I do, Arthur?"
"Did you hear the name she gave me just now? The Second Generation? It sounds like she's a noble from the Kingdom of Goa. How about you name your own price and spend a night with her?"
Leia heard Arthur's words and raised her fist to hit his shoulder.
"I don't! I thought he invited me so enthusiastically just to make friends!"
"But, you can't afford to offend the noble young master." Arthur smiled at her and said pretentiously,
"Look, if you spend a night with him, you can not only get a huge sum of money, but also make friends with a nobleman. If you behave well, he might fall in love with you. You can immediately become a young lady in a noble family and enjoy wealth and glory."
Leia was stunned on the spot. Isn't this a decision that directly transcends class?
But for some reason, she only felt endless disgust and rejection in her heart at this moment.
Perhaps you have ever fantasized about skipping classes and advancing directly into the upper class.
But after following this child, my mood tends to be more free.
"I don't want it!" She rejected it outright, her voice deafening.
"Haha." Arthur smiled awkwardly and turned to look at the noble boy.
"You heard it too. Leia doesn't want to accompany you. Can you stop now?"
Neoli II's face was grim and he became angrier the more he thought about it. As long as the woman was on his top, there was no one he couldn't get in one day.
He felt greatly insulted and said,
"Give him a good beating and teach him a lesson."
"Huh?" Neoli II's men were stunned. "Sir, who should we beat? This girl or this boy?"
"Of course it's that damn brat! Beat him to death! Beat him until he's crippled, and then throw him into the garbage dump!"
The noble boy's bad temper, which he could no longer control, broke out completely.
His men looked at each other, some of them were reluctant to do it, but in the face of power, someone soon threw a punch at Arthur.
Arthur stood there expressionless and was knocked to the ground by a punch.
"Arthur!" Leia wanted to step forward to stop him, but saw Arthur reaching out to stop her.
Arthur got up from the ground, blood slowly flowing out of his nostrils.
He just wiped it gently, looked at the blood on his hand nonchalantly, and said provocatively,
"You get angry when someone doesn't want to sleep with you? Nobles are naturally superior."
Do you want to fight back openly, and then start to flee after being charged with the crime?
No, Arthur had no such intention. He would just take it as the price of training a loyal person and personally teach her a lesson about the dark side of human nature.
Besides, Garp is still in this country and will be caught even if he escapes.
He smiled grimly and looked at Neoli II as if he were a dead man.
"Still laughing? Drag him into the alley and beat him to death! Beat him to death and then find a place to dispose of him! Who dares to talk to me like that? If you don't accept my toast, you'll have to drink the wine for punishment!"
The huge fist covered almost Arthur's entire body, hitting him over and over again.
Leia hugged Cooper tightly, looking at everything in front of her with a dazed face.
"Cooper!" (Let me go!) Cooper struggled desperately, trying to break out of Leia's arms to help Arthur.
Faced with this situation, Leia had no idea what to do, and she could do nothing to help.
It was just a small flirtation, but it led to such a thing.
After watching Arthur being beaten for about ten minutes, the burly man slowly stopped.
"That's about it, sir? If he keeps going like this, he's really going to die."
Seeing Arthur lying motionless on the ground, the men stopped punching and kicking him.
"Tsk, let's go!" Neoli II turned and left with anger on his face, and had to restrain himself for the sake of his family's reputation.
If a child was really beaten to death and the news got out, it would have a very bad impact on the family.
A few minutes after the nobles left——!
Leia, with her worldview shattered, came to the alley with Cooper in her arms, squatted in front of Arthur, and stared at him with wide eyes.
"Arthur..."
Arthur slowly stood up, spat a mouthful of blood into the corner, and said to her nonchalantly,
"Let's go back."
"Let's call the police. The guards will give us justice."
Leia followed Arthur like a lost soul and suddenly said.
"Even the country is run by the nobles, what's the point of calling the police?" Arthur replied coldly.
"Once the guards learn that the person they called the police on is a noble, they might find all sorts of reasons to put me in jail."
"How could this happen? Is there no law anymore?" Leia was shocked again.
Arthur glanced back at her with his bruised face.
"Take me as an example and remember the appearance of these noble dandies."
Back on the ship, Leia was in shock, struggling to accept and comprehend what had just happened.
It was already late at night and the moon was high in the sky.
Inside the boat, she only saw Arthur wrapping medical bandages around his wrists and body tightly at the guest table.
There was also a dagger on the table that came from nowhere.
"Leia, you should go to bed early. Cooper and I will be out for a while. We still have to attend the auction tomorrow."
Leia's guilt made her not know what to say to Arthur.
I had no choice but to lie in bed and think about how to face Arthur.
Outer deck.
"Cooper, can you locate the young man just now?" He asked, stroking the head of Cooper who was full of anger.
"Cooper!" (Yes! I have memorized his smell!)
"Well, let's go to Gao Town and slaughter their entire clan."
