The crew of One Piece all want to blame me

City Lord's Mansion-

"Lord City Lord, the main staff of the Starlight Theater Group are gathered together, and they seem to be discussing the performance."

"Oh? What result can they negotiate?"

Sitting on the leather sofa, the Lord of Flandore, King Bibiru V, was shaking the red wine glass in his hand with a relaxed and carefree look on his face.

Ever since the Starlight Troupe set foot on the land of Flandore, they have been completely at their own mercy. He is the king here, and everyone must obey his orders.

So what if the leader of the troupe, Lu Keen, knew about his ambition? Don't you have to obey him and dedicate Qian Xi to yourself?

That's right, the city lord has been eyeing Starlight Theater Company's Aquamarine from the very beginning. However, it is not because of love, but because she has countless admirers and unimaginable popularity.

Would it highlight his power to have such a woman as his maid?

Bibiru V slowly raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a smile that was sure to win.

"Originally, Clune planned not to let Lamar Star perform, but now he changed his mind and let her play."

"Isn't this a matter of course?"

King Bibiru V glanced at the butler indifferently, and was not surprised by Clun's surrender.

"It was my subordinate who was rude, as expected of the city lord."

The housekeeper quickly bowed and praised Bibiru V. The latter waved his hands indifferently and asked about other things.

"Let's not talk about the troupe, but where is the person I'm talking about? Have you invited him?"

"Yes. However, the price paid by that person is high, and the employment conditions are also very harsh. If an accident occurs, the contract may be terminated. I don't know why, Lord City Lord..."

"There are some things that I can't do, so I can only ask people to help me. And this 'Noble Master of the Dark Night' is the only one who can meet my conditions. This task belongs to him."

The last person who knew his secret must be cleared.

Bibiru V's eyes flashed with a cold light, which made the housekeeper standing beside him shiver.

At the same time, a handsome black-haired man wearing a black robe appeared in the corridor outside the door. His dark eyes glanced at the door of the city lord's room, then quietly lowered his eyes and followed a guard to the door.

"Lord City Lord, guests are coming."

The guards did not know the man's identity because of the butler's concealment. They only knew that he was holding a letter from the city lord. They thought he was a guest of Bibiru V and invited him here.

The housekeeper in the room reacted immediately, opened the door and led him into the room.

"'The noble son of the dark night', you really live up to your name. If you hadn't revealed your identity and said you were a mercenary, I would have thought you were a noble son."

King Bibiru V looked at the extraordinary mercenary in front of him, and admired in his heart that this man was more like a noble than his useless son.

"The city lord commends you. I have learned about your commission through the mercenary union. Is it to assassinate a middle-aged man named Pat Valada?"

"Yes, but I don't want to show up."

"Okay, I understand. Do you have any other requirements?"

"If this person has descendants, let's deal with them together. The reward can be doubled."

Hearing this, the man frowned slightly.

"My principle is not to harm the young or old. If this person's descendants are too young, I will not take action."

King Bibiru thought for a moment and nodded in agreement with his request.

In his opinion, even if the mercenary did not harm the child, as long as the man died, it would be impossible for children like them to survive.

Seeing Bibiru V nodding in agreement, the mercenary Hill turned around and walked out of the room.

"Lord City Lord, according to the rules of 'Noble Young Master', he will never harm the youngest son. I'm afraid there will be unexpected troubles by then."

"He is not a professional killer. It is normal for accidents to happen. But as long as he is not allowed to know the inside story of the matter, he will definitely complete the task."

"Yes, my subordinate understands."

The housekeeper has followed Bibiru V for many years and has encountered all kinds of dirty things. That's why he was so surprised when he knew that Bibiru V wanted to hire the 'Noble Young Master of the Dark Night'.

It is true that mercenaries do things when they are paid. No matter how unconscionable it is, as long as Bailey is in place, it will be completed without saying a word.

But in this dirty union, there appeared the "Prince of the Dark Night" - Hill Garcia.

He is very strong and will complete the tasks he receives perfectly without causing any trouble to his employer. But equally, he also has a lot of rules. Under normal circumstances, only those who are innocent and unable to take revenge can invite him. It is very difficult for other people to entrust him.

This time Bibiru V was able to invite Hill solely because he gave too many Baileys to the mercenary union, allowing everyone in the union to speak for Bibiru V. Hill was so annoyed that he had no choice but to accept the commission reluctantly.

However, accepting the commission does not mean that he will complete it obediently.

During the mission, he will explore the truth of the matter bit by bit. If it was as his employer said, he would not let his employer's 'enemies' see the sun the next day. But if the employer cheats him, he will leave all the trust money with the employer and leave.

It was also because of this that King Bibiru V emphasized that the housekeeper should control rumors these days and never let Hill notice any trouble.

The civilians of Flandore were completely unaware of these undercurrents and were preparing for the annual large-scale celebration as always. The streets were crowded with people, and everyone was excitedly preparing to set up stalls. The city guards methodically built a huge wooden stage in the center of the market.

Everything was going on in a lively manner, but Hill's heart was full of doubts.

First of all, why would this city lord buy the life of an ordinary village chief? If only this Pat Valada was a greedy village leader. However, according to his investigation, this person became more kind and fair as he grew older.

Unlike when he was first appointed as the village chief, now all the villagers spontaneously support and respect him.

Logically speaking, as the city lord of Flandore City, he could not get rid of the village chief who was affiliated with him like cutting off his own arm, whether it was for profit or fame. Not to mention that the village chief was an upright person with no trace of rebellion at all.

There is a conspiracy.

After Hill investigated the assassination target, he immediately made a conclusion in his mind.

Over the years of being a mercenary, it was not like he had never encountered an employer who deceived him. So after learning that the city lord intended to deceive, he didn't get angry or cry out as wronged as others thought. Instead, he was as calm and indifferent as ever, as if he was not the one being used.

He has decided to pay back the liquidated damages and leave here. Everything that happens here has nothing to do with him.
