King Snake General of Pirates

Eastern Military District.

In a deserted alley in a civilian area, a bloated middle-aged man leaned on the ground, his hands and feet were tightly bound by a long whip, making him unable to move at all. His body was so fat that the right side of his face was only It can stick to the ground sideways, otherwise what sticks to the ground might be his teeth and nostrils that are not much bigger.

The middle-aged man who was tied up like a bug could not struggle, and he did not dare to struggle at all, because his back was being stepped on by a foot. That foot gave him great psychological pressure. Whenever he tried to resist or When he changes his posture to become more comfortable, that foot will give him a few hard kicks.

Although the man has rough skin and thick flesh, and is covered in fat that can withstand beatings, he does not dare to anger the other person.

Judging from his past life experience and the way he was tied up neatly from beginning to end, the other party is definitely not a fool, but a robber with rich experience.

Maybe he is a thug, a criminal, a bandit or something. You must know that the Androser Kingdom seems to have strict governance and sound government laws on the surface, but there are still countless desperate desperadoes who have no choice but to take risks.

Money is an external possession, so give it to the other party if he wants it, as long as it doesn't harm your own life.

The middle-aged man took this matter very seriously, so he tentatively said: "Brother, brother... ah."

As soon as he opened his mouth, the man kicked him on the back again, and the fat on his body bounced. He quickly took a few more breaths to recover.

The opponent's feet were not very strong, so he didn't feel any pain when he stepped on them a few times. What was uncomfortable was that he was lying on his stomach, and his chest was so pressed that he couldn't breathe. If he was kicked again, his brain would be a little dizzy due to lack of oxygen.

The middle-aged man complained in his heart that the other party wouldn't let him speak and couldn't even communicate, so things would be in trouble.

I thought that I would come here to do some business properly. Not long after my glory days, today I was inexplicably tied up here by such a little thorn. I still don’t know what the other person looks like, what he wants, and he doesn’t speak to communicate. It’s really frustrating. Want to cry but no tears.

Just when I was at my wits' end and couldn't think of any other solution, the sound of neat footsteps suddenly came from outside this inaccessible alley. In addition to this, there was also the sound of metal clashing against each other.

The middle-aged man suddenly seemed to have found a savior. He took a deep breath and was about to shout when cold sweat broke out all over his body.

He found that a small knife was pressed against his neck at some point. The cold and sharp blade touched the white and tender skin, and there was a faint stinging sensation.

I don't know whether it was a psychological effect or a fear of death. The middle-aged man felt that the knife had cut through his skin, and the stinging sensation under his neck became stronger and stronger. Although he could not see it, he imagined the gurgling sound in his mind. Bleeding look.

The horrific scene made him tremble and fear.

The body suddenly stiffened.

The middle-aged man did not dare to move. His eyes were wide open and he was extremely nervous. He was afraid that his throat would be cut accidentally.

There were still sounds outside the alley, and those people had not left yet, but the middle-aged man did not dare to make any noise, otherwise, he would never suspect that the brother behind him would kill him immediately and then escape.

One wrong move, and death awaits you.

He had never experienced death being so close to him, so close that his body became cold and his breathing became rapid.

He was shouting crazily in his heart: "Calm down, calm down, I won't move or speak, please don't shake your hands."

Fortunately, maybe he didn't do enough bad things, so his prayers had an effect.

The man behind him had a steady hand and did not make any further move. The sounds outside the alley became smaller and smaller. Those unknown people seemed to be slowly leaving here.

The alley returned to silence.

The middle-aged man breathed a sigh of relief, and he could feel that the other party also relaxed.

He put the knife against his neck away and rolled his eyes. Years of business experience told him that he must seize the opportunity when he encounters it, otherwise he will suffer more serious consequences if he misses it.

So, after the other party put the knife away completely, he took a deep breath, worked hard, and finished what he wanted to express as quickly and as briefly as possible.

"Chest, money...spare your life."

He swore that this was the first time in his life that he had used five words to express the meaning of two sentences, but he hoped it wouldn't happen a second time.

Well... I hope there will be a second chance, but not really a second chance.

"Hahaha." Business people think very fast, but the middle-aged man's wild mind is full of strange things.

He was sure that the other party could respond to what he wanted to express.

After saying these five words, he waited silently, waiting to see if the other party wanted money, his own life, or... everything.

Not long after, the middle-aged man's face showed joy, knowing that he had made the right bet.

He felt a gloved hand touch from behind. When it touched his chest, it suddenly stopped and was blocked by the fat on his chest.

He swore again that he had never hated the flesh on his body so much in his life.

In order to make room for the other party, he rolled around, trying to make more room.

Unexpectedly, there was a bang, and the middle-aged man was about to cry, and he was kicked again.

uncomfortable...

Finally, the man walked in front of him, and the middle-aged man saw him clearly for the first time... In fact, he didn't see him completely, because the other person's head was wrapped in a black cloth, and he could only see a pair of bright eyes and body. Wearing a coarse linen shirt.

Soon, all the money on his body was touched by the other party. The middle-aged man didn't even react. He felt that his body suddenly broke free. When he got up and looked around, there was no one else here.

……

In a dilapidated bungalow not far from the alley where the middle-aged man was robbed.

This is an earth house made simply of mud bricks and stones without any processing skills. The surface of the wall is covered with dense cracks caused by drying. It is of such poor quality that you can rub off some soil by touching it with your hands.

There are such mud houses everywhere in the neighborhood.

Although part of the Eastern Military Region is the center of the economic development of the Kingdom of Androser, there are still many ordinary people living in difficult living conditions in some parts of the periphery. Due to their economic conditions, they can only live in such houses.

In the earthen house, a haggard-looking man sat slumped on a stool, staring blankly at the ground. Next to him, on the stone bed with two yellowed quilts, was a young woman holding them in her arms. One year old child.

"How about we leave, go back to our hometown, and stop staying here."

The young woman whispered. "Although my hometown is remote and a little behind, it is still no problem to have enough to eat three meals a day. If you are not hungry and your children are not hungry, it will not be as difficult as here."

Her voice was very soft, not like she was deciding something, but like she was asking for a man's opinion.
