The Glory of the Pirates

Chapter 336 The Sense of Justice

To be honest, Lakaid II is a little confused now.

After realizing that there were intruders in the palace and that a knife had been put on his neck, his heart was filled with fear.

At this moment, what he was thinking in his mind was whether these guys were pirates who attacked or domestic rebels.

No matter who it is, the next thing he has to do is to save his life at all costs.

But now it seems that the situation is a little different from what he thought.

Aren't these guys here for his fortune?

His Majesty the King of this country is already in a state of confusion at this moment.

Why is the aristocratic area so prosperous, but the slums are full of dilapidated poverty?

How could someone ask such a ridiculous question?

How about sneaking into his own palace in the middle of the night, holding him hostage and questioning him!

Are these people out of their minds?
Although he thought so in his heart, Lakaide II didn't dare to delay any more, he hurriedly replied.

“It’s been like this for generations in this country,”

His Majesty the King replied, "The land area is not large, and there are no resources that can make the country rich, so the country and the people have always been poor."

The corner of Brett's mouth twitched. He looked like a fat fool, but he wasn't actually a fool.

It's pretty easy to avoid the important things.

"I'm not asking you why the country is so poor, but why the gap between rich and poor is so big."

"Yup,"

Nana beside her also nodded repeatedly, "You are so rich, but you let the citizens live like that, you are really a bad king."

Lakaide II blushed, and he argued, "My wealth is all accumulated during the royal family. What does it have to do with those commoners?"

"So, how is this wealth accumulated?"

Bright smiled, "Is it through the various companies and stores run by the royal family and nobles? Buy daily necessities from overseas at low prices, and then sell them at high prices to the people of this country?"

Rakade II was undoubtedly a greedy monarch, but he did not directly use violent means to steal wealth from the people.

The efficiency of looting is too slow.

He is a businessman.

"You guys are too much!"

Nana scolded loudly, "As a king, the most important thing is to ensure the lives of the people!"

King Neptune of Fishman Island is like this.

Although Dragon Palace City is definitely more luxurious than the residences of other residents of Murloc Island, Neptune was still working hard to improve people's livelihood even in the years before Murloc Island started to develop.

The king nodded embarrassingly, "Yes, yes..."

What kind of idiots are these guys?
Those who come here at night come here to talk nonsense and say stupid things.

That is to say, he was afraid that these idiots would directly wipe his neck with a knife, otherwise he would have sneered a long time ago.

When does a king have to serve his people?
The whole country belongs to the king, and all the citizens are just the private property of the king!
As long as I can make money, that's fine. As for those untouchables, who cares if they die or not?
Rakade II thought so in his heart.

But now my life matters, everything should go with these bastards.

Bai Xing already pursed his lips.

She could clearly hear the voice in the king's heart.

Having said that, there is no need to continue talking.

Brett knocked the fat king on the head casually, knocking him unconscious.

"Alright, Shirahoshi, what do you think?"

Brett asked softly.

"Why is this happening? Brother Brett?"

The little princess asked in a daze, "Why do you have to behave like this when you are clearly human?"

The little princess didn't understand.

There should be no problem of incomprehension between humans and humans, but why should they treat their fellow humans like this?
"The premise of mutual understanding is that both parties can compromise."

"But there are some things that cannot be compromised," Bright said.

"Can't compromise?"

Shirahoshi blinked.

Sometimes people have to face the embarrassing situation, that is, both sides are very aware of each other's difficulties, but they have to continue to be hostile due to various reasons.

Mutual understanding is meaningless in this situation, and love and peace are empty words.

For example, the fat king now, doesn't he know what kind of life his citizens are living?

Of course he knew.

As the largest businessman in the country, he may even have a better understanding of the state of the country than those who have suffered personally.

But that doesn't stop him from continuing to exploit the country.

Brett thought of such a thing in his heart, and then conveyed this idea to her through Princess Shirahoshi's knowledge.

Tell her in words, she may not understand.

The little princess opened her mouth slightly.

That night Brett took the two little girls to visit the homes of all the nobles in this country and asked them the same question.

How they answered is not important, what is important is that Bai Xing has heard the voices of all of them.

"Humans are really annoying. They are all of the same race, but they treat the people like this."

Nana sighed and shook her head, her immature face showed a vicissitudes of life that had been disillusioned with this world.

"Human beings seem to be different from what mother said."

The little princess was a little sad.

"Don't care about those things!"

Nana turned her head to look at Brett excitedly, "Brother Brett, the people in this country are so pitiful, let's do something!"

"Oh? What do you want to do?"

Brett smiled.

"Give all the bad guys' money to the people!"

Nana chuckled, "Why do these guys let the people live like that, while they spend their days and nights?"

"Huh? Sister Nana,"

The little princess was a little at a loss and said, "This is not good, those are other people's things..."

"It's true that they are all other people's things, and they are all plundered from the people!"

Nana waved her small hand. This child has a very simple sense of justice, and she doesn't need any other reasons. He is just willing to help when he sees an injustice.
"We're just giving that money back to the people who should have it!"

"Well said, Nana."

Brett nodded approvingly, "Then do it."

This is not a difficult thing for him.

So that night, it rained in this country.

It was not ordinary rain, but gold jewels and banknotes.

The country is a little boiling.

But the instigator has quietly gone away, and the journey is still going on.
