Chapter 247 Tiger-Headed Fishman
Twenty minutes later.

Pike and Xia He appeared in a building in the center of Swan Town.

As soon as they entered, a middle-aged man who was also wearing a suit like Pique, but much shorter and stronger than him, came up to them and greeted them enthusiastically, “Welcome! I’ve heard of the Don Quixote family’s reputation for a long time. Today, I see that they are indeed very impressive.”

His name is Takenqi, and he is the leader of those thugs and the local gang leader.

After saying that, Takenchi gave Pique a thumbs up and said, “So handsome!”

“Thank you for the compliment.”

Pike replied calmly, then took Xia He to the sofa in the living room and sat down.

Then, they both took out a cigarette from their pockets and put it in their mouths.

Seeing this, the maid standing by quickly took out her lighter and helped them light the cigarettes.

“Hiss~~Hoo!”

“Tell me, how much goods do you have?” Pique went straight to the point.

“There are about a hundred children between the ages of five and fourteen, sixty adult women between the ages of eighteen and thirty-five, and twenty-five adult men between the ages of eighteen and forty…” Takkenqi replied.

“Is that so?” Pique fell into deep thought after hearing this.

Seeing this, Takkenqi thought that Pike was not satisfied with the number he provided, so he quickly revealed his trump card: “In addition, we also captured a murloc.”

“Flocculant?”

Pico immediately became interested, “What kind of fishman?”

“Judging from its appearance, it should be a tiger fish, probably in his early thirties, about two meters seventy meters tall, and weighing more than three hundred kilograms…”

Two meters seven, more than three hundred kilograms…

Tiger fish…

“How could you catch a murloc of this level?” After thinking for a while, Pike asked this question without any hesitation.

“Luck, it’s all luck.” Knowing that Pieck was referring to their lack of strength, Takenchi did not refute, but just scratched the back of his head and tried to explain in a naive tone: “That guy was attacked by pirates at the time. After a fierce battle, he was seriously injured, so we took advantage of it.”

“Where is the fishman?” asked Pieck.

“I’m keeping him in the basement right now. What do you mean, Mr. Peake? Do you want to go down and check the goods?”

“Row.”

Pico stood up with a cigarette in his mouth, then glanced at Xia He who was sitting next to him, “Are you going?”

“go.”

Xia He exhaled a puff of smoke, then stood up and followed the two of them.

Not a moment later.

After going down about thirty or forty steps, the three of them appeared in a basement full of cages.

Xia He flicked the cigarette butt to the ground and glanced around roughly.

Just looking at the door of the room, dozens of children and women were huddled together. The moment Pike and the other two came in, they were so scared that they started shaking all over.

Especially after seeing Takenqi.

The fear on his face was obvious.

Xia He couldn’t help but frown, and his eyes became a little sharper.

“Here, I have locked that guy up in the innermost part. His hands, feet and neck are all shackled with iron chains. There are ten chains in total. No matter how strong he is, he can’t escape from here.”

“Really?” Pico flicked the cigarette butt in his hand, “You are quite cautious in doing things.” “Hehe, facing the murlocs, we must be cautious.”

During the conversation, the three finally arrived in front of the cage where the fishman was.

Xia He was the first to peek into the cage, only to see a very burly figure in the shadows.

Takenqi walked up and knocked on the cage, and turned on the light bulb above his head.

The light then shone in, and Xia He and Pike were able to see the fishman’s appearance clearly.

The body is reddish, well, should I say pink.

The muscles all over the body are particularly obvious.

A square face, sharp teeth, and a pair of bloodshot eyes staring at Takkenqi…

Looking at the expression, it seems as if he wants to eat it alive.

“Mr. Pike, this is the fishman I caught… no, I picked up. What do you think? Judging from its appearance, it can be sold for at least 20 to 30 million Baileys, right?” Takkenqi smiled and rubbed his palms. “Besides, if we take it to the auction venue for auction, it may be sold for more than 50 million. Hmm… hundreds of millions of Baileys is not impossible.”

“Hundreds of millions?” Pico turned around and glanced at him. “I’ll go catch a few murlocs and give them to you to sell. If you sell one worth hundreds of millions, I’ll give you half.”

“Uh…” Takenqi immediately shut his mouth after hearing that.

The fishman who was tied up in the cell sneered with disdain: “Foolish humans, even if I die, I will never surrender to you.”

“Die? That’s not up to you.” Takkenqi spat into the cell, “If you dare to die, I will kill that kid and send him to be buried with you.”

“Kid?” Pike glanced at Takkenqi.

“It’s like this. There was a little slave girl with him at the time. It seemed that they had a good relationship. If I used that child to threaten him, he would easily compromise.”

Takenqi smiled, his face full of pride, “Don’t worry, I will sell the little girl to you later, and you can use her to threaten this guy.”

“There are actually family members? That would save a lot of trouble.”

Pike thought to himself that a guy like this who had the “handle” would be the most suitable person to serve as a death warrior for their family.

While chatting, he observed the fishman for a while.

It is worth mentioning that during that period, the fishman and Xia He’s eyes met, and the two of them just looked at each other. After a long while, the fishman looked away and continued to lower his head.

……

“So, now it’s time to talk about the price?”

Coming out of the basement, Takenqi finally got to the point.

“Two hundred thousand Beli each for the children, one hundred thousand for the women, three hundred thousand for the men, and twenty million for the fishmen.” Pique said bluntly.

“This…” Takenqi replied hesitantly, “The price seems a little too low, right?”

He knows the exact price on the black market.

“Low? Then let’s do this. 250,000 for each child, 150,000 for women, and 300,000 for men. As for the fishman… I’ll give you 500 more, so it’s 25 million Baileys. What do you think?”

When Pique said this, a hint of murderous intent appeared on his face.

Seeing this, Takenqi dared not say anything more and quickly bowed and thanked him: “Not bad, not bad, thank you Mr. Peake for your kindness.”

Takenqi wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Although the price was still a little different from what he had expected, being able to bargain with the Don Quixote family once had already exhausted all his courage.
