Mayor Ho didn't understand what was meant, but he still nodded subconsciously.
Seeing him nod, Charlotte smiled in satisfaction.
"That's good! I didn't find the wrong person!"
Charlotte said with satisfaction, and then stared at Mayor Ho in his hand with a menacing look.
"Your auction house! How dare you arrest me and even put me up for auction. Tell me, how should I repay you?"
Charlotte kept using the vulgar form of self - reference '老子' (lǎo zǐ, a vulgar way of self - reference in Chinese), not putting Mayor Ho in the slightest regard.
Mayor Ho was held up by Charlotte, who had a hand around his neck, his face turning red, but he was helpless.
His life was in Charlotte's hands, so he didn't dare to resist at all.
Damn it! Why haven't those guys come yet?
Mayor Ho cursed the thugs from the auction house in his heart.
Mayor Ho struggled desperately to break free from Charlotte's hand, and his feet below kept fidgeting.
But what he didn't know was that the more than thirty thugs from the auction house had already been taken care of by Charlotte.
And his deputy was looking for help?
"Hey! Isn't this Brother Charlie? What're you in such a hurry to look for?"
Gibben was strolling around near the auction house when he suddenly saw a familiar figure.
It was Charlie, the assistant who always followed Mayor Ho.
Seeing Charlie, Gibben quickly rushed over to ingratiate himself. You know, it was usually very hard to meet him.
Of course, Gibben tried to curry favor with him because of Mayor Ho behind him. If he could get in with Mayor Ho, he would surely soar to great heights.
In Water 7, who wouldn't give him face?
So seeing Charlie, Gibben scurried over and greeted him.
"Who are you?"
Charlie looked at Gibben running towards him in confusion.
"I'm an underling of Manager Fei. My name is Gibben. I'm in charge of scouting for slaves for the auction house. Don't you remember? We've met before!"
Gibben said obsequiously as he walked up to Charlie.
After hearing what Gibben said, Charlie suddenly realized.
"Oh! You're the guy who follows Manager Fei. I remember! I remember!"
After Charlie said that, he was about to hurry outside.
"Brother Charlie, why are you in such a rush?"
Seeing Charlie's anxious expression, Gibben quickly stepped forward and asked.
"Something happened at the auction house. A slave escaped. The mayor told me to get help quickly, but I don't know where the thugs from the auction house have gone. I can't find anyone, so I have to go to the town hall to find the constables!"
Charlie said as he walked quickly.
Hearing that a slave had escaped, Gibben instantly perked up.
Wasn't this his chance to shine? Thinking of this, Gibben quickly grabbed Charlie.
"Brother Charlie! You should come to me! I'm from a professional slave - hunting team. Isn't it a waste to go for the constables when you have me?"
Gibben said under Charlie's disapproving look.
But after hearing Gibben's words, Charlie's eyes lit up.
Right! Why'm I looking for constables when I've got a professional slave - hunter here? Am I stupid?
"Good brother, you're right! Come with me to the auction house to put down that lawless slave."
Charlie quickly grabbed Gibben's hand and headed towards the auction house.
"Wait! Don't be in such a hurry! It's just a slave. Let's call my brothers over first! They're right nearby!"
Gibben quickly soothed him.
After hearing Gibben's words, Charlie felt a lot more at ease and nodded.
"Jack, come on, there's work to do!"
Gibben led Charlie to the bar where they usually hung out and shouted.
"Boss!"
Jack quickly put down the wine bottle and rushed to Gibben's side with the others.
"Come! Let me introduce you. This is Big Brother Charlie! He's the mayor's favorite, a big shot in Water 7 second only to the mayor. From now on, you'll call him Big Brother Charlie."
Gibben pulled Charlie and said to the others.
After hearing this, Charlie was very pleased, but he didn't forget why he came here.
"Brother Gibben! Let's go quickly! After all, there are still a lot of people in the auction house. We can't just waste time like this."
Charlie looked at Gibben anxiously and said.
"Okay! Big Brother, let's go right now!"
Then Gibben waved his hand and led a large group of his subordinates towards the auction house.
At a rough glance, there were sixty or seventy of them. Each of them was armed. These were all the slave - hunting teams around the auction house.
This time, in order to impress Charlie, Gibben brought everyone along.
"Boss, where is he taking us?"
A one - eyed slave trader holding a long knife grabbed Jack and asked.
Jack looked around and then whispered.
"It seems that something went wrong at the auction house. A slave ran out and caused a lot of damage. Our boss wants to impress Mayor Ho, so he's taking all of us there."
"I see!"
The one - eyed man nodded, and then his eyes lit up.
He also wanted to impress Mayor Ho so that he could leave a good impression on the mayor. For him, it could only be a good thing.
Many people had the same idea as him. Everyone walked towards the auction house with their heads held high and weapons in hand.
And inside the auction house.
Charlotte retracted his Conqueror's Haki. Now, no one in the auction house dared to say a word.
"Ah～!"
"Ah～!"
"Ah～!"
Charlotte stepped on Mayor Hoile with his feet, slowly crushing both of Mayor Hoile's legs.
Watching Charlotte repeatedly crush Mayor Hoile's legs with his feet, everyone didn't even dare to breathe loudly.
They were afraid that this crazy guy would turn his gaze on them.
That's right, these people already regarded Charlotte as a crazy person.
It was so bloody.
"Ah! Please! Please spare me! I'm willing to make compensation!"
Mayor Hoile, covered in blood, begged for mercy.
Just now, when he admitted that he was the owner of this auction house, Charlotte suddenly lifted his foot and crushed his knee joint.
When his knee was crushed, he could clearly hear the sound of his bones breaking.
"Hehe! Spare you! Then who will spare those poor people you've sold!"
After coming into contact with this man named Mayor Hoile, Charlotte clearly saw all the evil deeds he had done.
Although Charlotte didn't like to meddle in others' business, when something made him feel unsettled, he would step in. Otherwise, he wouldn't feel right!
Crack!
"Ah!"
Mayor Ho let out another pained scream.
One of his hands was crushed under Charlotte's foot, turning it into a bloody mess.
The broken bones were mixed with the flesh and blood.
The intense pain sent his mind into a whirl.
He wanted to faint, but the intense pain kept him conscious.
Seeing this, The Red Count finally understood how Charlotte got his nickname, the Blood Swordmaster.
This guy was a bloodthirsty psycho.
Although he himself was quite peculiar, often able to eavesdrop on others' thoughts, compared to Charlotte, he was nothing.
Clang!
Creak!
