When the Flame Pirates were completely destroyed, Yu Xue carried the pirate captain's head and silently walked to a seemingly respectable old man who was trembling all over. His cold voice made all the survivors in the town shudder.
"Who's going to get the bounty from the navy for me?”
The old man that Yu Xue found was the village chief. His white beard was trembling. When he saw the head in Yu Xue's hand swaying in front of him, he was so scared that he fell to the ground.
After learning that the pirates had been killed by a young man, the residents who were hiding in their homes ran out one after another. When they saw the corpses of their loved ones on the ground, countless people cried out.
This unexpected disaster had caused the village to suffer a devastating blow.
With the support of a young man, the old village chief stood up shakily and bowed deeply to Yu Xue. His turbid old eyes and ancient voice made Yu Xue frown.
"Benefactor, thank you for saving our village.。。”
Facing the old village chief, Yu Xue shook the head in his hand impatiently.
"Bounty! Who's going?"
That's right, Yu Xue was most concerned about the 40 million Bailey reward! He and Little Robin were both wanted people. Naturally, it was impossible for them to go to the naval base to receive the reward. It was equivalent to walking into a trap. Therefore, he wanted the people of this village to receive it on his behalf.
The old village chief was stunned for a long time before he recovered. He had lived for so long, but this was the first time he had seen such a cold-faced youth who only wanted a reward.
After swallowing his saliva with difficulty, the old village chief said to the young man who had helped him earlier.
"Hobby! Go and help your benefactor collect the bounty.。。”
The young man named Hobby nodded and took the bloody head from Yu Xue's hand with some fear. His voice was trembling as he asked.
"Benefactor... If the navy asks... I should..."
Before Hobby could finish, Yu Xue frowned and said.
"Just say that it was killed by a pirate hunter! You're not allowed to say anything about me, and you can't say anything about me being here!”
Hobby nodded solemnly after hearing this, and then quickly ran away.
Yu Xue was not worried that Hobby would return. Not only had he saved everyone in this village, but he had also shown his strength. This was not something that anyone would dare to disobey.
Since he had come to land, Yu Xue did not plan to leave for the time being unless there was a major change.
With the kindness of saving the entire village, Yu Xue, Little Robin, and even Little Ace were warmly welcomed by all the surviving villagers.
After a period of interaction, people were used to Yu Xue's cold face.
There were even children who came to play with little Robin from time to time, which made little Robin very happy. This kind of thing was impossible to imagine in his first eight years.
After half a month, Hobby returned.
This village was too remote. If not for this, the Flaming Pirates would not have chosen them as their target. After all, the Eight Treasures Navy was one of the top pirates in the West Ocean, and no one dared to provoke them easily.
As soon as Hobby came back, he found the place where Yu Xue was living. It was the home of the first woman Yu Xue had saved. This woman was called Phyllis. Her family had all died in this disaster, and she was the only one left.
Having lost her loved ones, she had nothing to live for. However, after hearing Little Ace's cries, her desire to live was finally aroused. Now, she specially raised Little Ace every day and took care of the daily lives of Yu Xue and the others.
"Aunt Feelu, is our benefactor at home?”
Phyllis opened the door and saw that it was Hobby, so she answered.
"Yes, come in quickly!"
Hobby was carrying a large burlap sack. Seeing Yu Xue resting, he immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed deeply.
"Benefactor! Hobby has let you down!"
Yu Xue's heart skipped a beat. Had his identity been exposed? The navy is coming?
Regardless of how quickly Yu Xue was relieved, Hobby said angrily,
"Benefactor, those sailors are really despicable! The captain of the Flaming Pirates, Yan Huo, had a bounty of 40 million dollars, but they actually said that he wasn't the one who claimed it and only gave him 5 million dollars!”
Yu Xue was stunned. 5 million? That was eight times less! Looking at Hobby's expression, he knew that Hobby must have been bullied.
"What happened?"
Hobby gloomily recounted the incident where he went to the naval base to collect the bounty. Originally, as long as the head was there, it would be the same no matter who went to collect it. However, this group of sailors actually found such an excuse to forcefully reduce the 40 million bounty to 5 million Bailey.
A cold light flashed in Yu Xue's eyes. He didn't say anything more and just pulled Hobby up from the ground.
Looking at the angry Hobby, Yu Xue asked indifferently.
"You didn't say anything about me, did you?”
Hobby was stunned for a moment, then he suddenly patted his heart and said loudly with certainty.
"Of course, I will never tell them about my benefactor!”
Yu Xue nodded his head in satisfaction. As long as he was not exposed, it would be easy. Although 5 million Bailey was not a lot, it was enough to live in such a small village.
As for the remaining 35 million Bailey, Yu Xue would get it back sooner or later.
"Thank you for your hard work. Take 500,000 Bailey and leave.”
Hobby immediately retorted loudly.
"Benefactor! You can't look down on me like this. Although I'm not as powerful as you, my dignity will never allow me to take a single cent from my benefactor!”
Under Yu Xue's strict request, Hobby had no choice but to leave with 100,000 Bailey.
This was Yu Xue's style, one yard at a time!
Looking at the sack of Bailey on the ground, Yu Xue frowned. What he needed the most now was time. Only when he became stronger and Little Robin and Little Ace grew up would he be able to travel the world freely.
What Yu Xue didn't know was that in the naval base that Hobby had been to, the chief of the naval base, a navy officer, was counting money in his office.
In his office, there were a few large boxes filled with Bailey. At the same time, in front of his desk stood a navy soldier with a charming face.
"Captain tanuki, we're rich this time! 35 million Bailey!"
The tanuki colonel rolled his eyes at the soldier as he counted Bailey. Had this kid never seen money before? In his hands, as long as there was a pirate bounty, he would always use various reasons to avoid it and only give a small amount of money.
After sending away the person who received the reward, he would report the death of the pirates to the navy headquarters and wait for the headquarters to distribute the reward. The rest would naturally go into his own pocket. This kind of thing had long become a habit.
"Humph! Jealous? Give out 8 million Bailey and tell everyone to shut up and stop talking nonsense!”
The soldier smiled sinisterly and saluted.
"Yes, sir! Don't worry!"
