King Snake General of Pirates

"Boss, have you paid your protection fee this month?"

The tavern owner came back to his senses in a daze, his heart skipped a beat when he heard these words, and then he realized that the five people in front of him were gang members.

He tremblingly bowed and replied, "I handed it over. I handed it over at the beginning of the month."

"Really, who did you give it to? This month, my brothers are collecting it, but they haven't given it to us. I think boss, you are afraid that someone has deceived you."

The man's face was cold. He opened a bottle of wine and poured it into his mouth. His body warmed up a little. When the tavern owner's face turned pale, he said loudly: "No matter who you were deceived by, the protection money that should be paid to us cannot be paid to us." Less, otherwise your tavern business will not be stable, understand, hurry up and get ready."

The tavern owner complained in his heart, thinking to himself, you damn people, you keep changing people to collect protection money every month, how do I know who is collecting it.

And it’s not clear whether I was deceived or whether you replaced me and took it again. This means you don’t intend to leave a way for me to survive.

The weather is cold, there are fewer customers, the tavern cannot be opened, and the boss has been operating at a loss for many days.

But he didn't dare to speak harshly to this group of extremely vicious people, otherwise he would not be able to protect his life, let alone his business.

He bowed and flattered: "Yes, yes, maybe I was deceived."

His demeanor was extremely humble and pitiful.

But even so, the man had no intention of letting him go. He thought that it would be hard for him to drink because of you, so he had to embarrass you this time.

Then he slapped the table and shouted: "What do you mean by being cheated? Do you mean that I am deliberately overcharging you for protection money?"

"Don't you dare..." The owner of the tavern turned pale with fright and begged for mercy as he stepped back, "I was wrong. I was wrong. Please drink some wine to warm yourself up. I will protect you right away." Fee comes.”

Seeing that the other party didn't stop him anymore, he got into the back room as if running away.

When the five people saw the tavern owner scared out of his wits, they all laughed and had great fun.

It is commonplace for them to base their own pleasure on the pain of others.

When the five of them had had enough fun, they started drinking wine.

At this time.

The door of the tavern was pushed open again, and a tall man dressed in black walked in.

It's a small tavern, but there are still a lot of customers in such a cold weather. It seems like business is good, but I'll pay more for protection money later.

Someone among the five people was thinking about it again.

After the burliest man among them took a big gulp of wine, he looked up and saw the man who had just entered the pub walking strangely to his table.

He looked at the other person's face doubtfully.

Suddenly, the pupils in Suran's eyes shrank suddenly, and all the wine in his mouth rushed down his throat, causing him to choke and cough.

What he saw was not a human face, but a colorful mask of ghost faces.

Moreover, the grimace mask is very scary, with its sharp mouth and fangs, anyone who suddenly sees it will be startled.

At this time, the others felt something was wrong and looked at the faces of the people next to them. They were also startled. However, they were gangsters and had seen many scenes. After being frightened, they immediately became angry and stood up immediately while yelling. .

"Mom, you madman, are you tired of living? Who are you trying to scare by wearing such a scary mask in broad daylight?"

"asshole!"

But no matter how loud or angry they were, the people wearing the ghost-face masks didn't speak.

He just took out a stack of photos from the package he was carrying, flipping through them one by one, looking up at the five people while flipping them, as if comparing them with the people in the photos.

The five people looked at each other. Although they didn't know what this strange person was doing, there was no doubt that they were all made furious by this person. They grabbed the unfinished wine bottle and smashed it on each other's head.

The person wearing the ghost face mask had no intention of hiding, as if he didn't see the scene in front of him.

boom!

Five wine bottles hit his head, the bottles shattered, and the wine splashed all over the man.

Only then did the man pull out a photo from a pile of photos in his hand, which showed the appearance of a burly man.

"Found it." He said happily as if he had found a treasure.

The five gangster men were frightened by the strange scene in front of them and did not react for a moment.

When someone came back to their senses, they saw that the strange man wearing a ghost mask had walked out of the tavern, leaving with the burliest man.

But instead of walking out, he was carried out by the neck.

"What, what's wrong, what just happened?!"

"do not know……"

The remaining four people were stunned and chased out without thinking.

The burly man is their team leader. If he is left alone, he will definitely be killed by Balk when he returns.

After they left, the tavern owner came out of the back room with the few remaining Berry in his hand with a sad look on his face.

But at this time, all he could see was unopened wine, scattered wine bottle fragments, spilled wine on the floor, and an empty tavern.

"..."

Outside, the cold wind howled.

Hal carried the body of the dead burly man into a narrow alley and waited for a while before the other four slowly caught up.

As soon as they turned around the alley, before they could see clearly what was going on inside, the four of them were hit hard with a knife on the back of their necks and fell unconscious instantly.

"It's really troublesome to leave Balk alive to bring a message."

He picked up one lucky man from among the four unconscious people and put it aside. Hal took out a dagger that was only as long as a forearm with the blade and handle, and gently drew it across the necks of the other three people and the dead burly man.

The blade scratched the skin, and bright red and warm blood immediately sprayed out. The smell of blood filled the air, and the bodies of several people gradually became cold as the blood continued to overflow.

Pressing his own photo with the burly man's arm, Hal left the alley.

Half an hour later, Lucky was awakened by the pungent smell of blood. When he woke up and found that all four of his companions had their throats cut to death, and the alley and the place where he was lying had turned into a pool of blood, he let out heart-rending screams of fear. Scream...

On this day, a massacre against gang members secretly began on the edge of the city in the Southern Military District.

Even including the survivors Hal intentionally left alive, no one knows the identity or appearance of the murderer who committed this series of massacres.

The massacre lasted for three days.

When Hal's massacre came to the city in the civilian area and completed several cases, this matter reached Balke's ears.

At this moment, in Balke's self-built villa, Balke, wrapped in warm pajamas, was leaning against the sofa with his legs crossed on the table. Under his legs was a brazier filled with red charcoal.

Sitting on the sofas on both sides were all the top ten team captains under Balk. They were all staring at the more than 70 photos on the table.

The photos above showed the deaths of gang members in the past three days. Each photo had a large amount of blood that had dried and changed color.

"Already mute? Speak." Balk narrowed his eyes slightly and pressed his aching head, and whispered.

The ten team captains looked at each other. After a glance, the person at the end of the queue spoke first: "We don't know which force it is yet, but this person is very powerful and alert. He has fought from the outer city to the inner city. None of us in the city have seen what he looks like under the mask."

"Not only that, the person who died today is nearby, and he is hiding in a corner nearby."

A captain in the middle exclaimed: "Is this his goal?"

Everyone's eyes moved to Balke.

"In any case, the other party hunts down gang members with great fanfare, leaves photos on the bodies, and it is said that every time they kill, they will leave a living person to report back. This is obviously a provocation against us."

"The strange thing is that as far as we know, there are no people with such skills in the Southern Military Region. Not only did they escape our search, but I heard that they were all knocked down with one move."

"Hmph, this must be a lie made up by the survivors in order to evade responsibility. I have already ordered their execution."

boom!
