Chapter 272 Cheating

“Another person with special abilities?!”

These were the thoughts that flashed through Cotto’s mind when he was hit by the giant tree.

“This is the price you have to pay for looking down on others, Lao Deng.” Xia He sneered expressionlessly.

After he finished speaking, he raised the tightly grasped dagger once again.

Of course he didn’t carry the two swords with him.

Even so, a short dagger is more than enough to display the sword skills he currently possesses.

bass!
Air waves flow.

If this blow had hit him hard, Cotto’s head would have exploded on the spot, with blood splattering everywhere.

However, just as he was about to swing the blade, Cotto took the lead and shouted, “Wait! Please listen to me!”

As soon as these words were spoken, Xia He’s movement of swinging the knife stopped abruptly in mid-air.

The tip of the knife was less than a centimeter away from Cotto’s forehead.

“Do you have any last words?” he asked.

“I… I’m sorry. We were wrong. We shouldn’t have lied to you. How about this? Not only will I give you the money from Qinghemu, but I’ll also give you this shipyard. As long as you’re willing to let my son and I live, I promise that we will get out of here and never show up in Xigua Town again.”

“is it?”

Xia He smiled and tapped Cotto’s face twice with the dagger.

“Didn’t you ask me before about the reputation of your shipyard in Xigua Town? Why are you suddenly giving in now?”

It’s not that I’m deliberately mocking in order to get pleasure from it.

But Xia He knew very well in his heart that if he, Baby-5 and Buffalo were just three ordinary little kids today… there was no doubt that none of them would be able to leave this shipyard.

“Hey… hey…” Cotto grinned and forced an awkward smile upon hearing that. “That was just a joke.”

“Kidding?”

Looking at Cotto’s mouth full of blood, but he had to smile flatteringly to show weakness to him, Xia He found it very funny and was about to move the dagger and only cut off one of his hands as a punishment for harming him.

Who knew that at this time…

“Dad, what are you doing? Stand up and kill that kid!” Bather shouted, then took out a flintlock pistol from his waist and pointed the gun at Xia He.

“No!” Cotto stopped him with a look of horror on his face.

However, before he could make a sound, the lead bullet flew out of the gun and hit Xia He’s face.

Baby-5 and Buffalo, who noticed this sudden situation, frowned immediately.

“Looking for death…” There was a hint of murderous intent in his tone.

The moment the lead bullet flew towards him, Xia He swung the dagger and cut it into two pieces.

Afterwards, the energy fluctuations emitted by the blade swept towards Basse with undiminished power.

Bather, completely unaware that death was imminent, still held the gun, intending to pull the trigger.

The next second…

Chi!
A soft sound.

His head rolled to the ground like a ball. Until his death, his face still retained an arrogant and conceited expression.

“Bather!!!” Cotto, lying on the ground, let out a miserable howl.

Looking at his son’s headless body, sadness, anger…all kinds of emotions filled his mind.

He even completely forgot the pain in his body, and then suddenly jumped up, opened his bloody mouth, and bit Xia He’s neck.

Xia He’s eyes narrowed slightly.

I was about to cut off this guy’s head…

boom!
Baby-5, who was standing next to Xia He, took action first.

With a piercing bang, the huge cannon barrel moved forward and instantly blew Couto’s head into pieces.

Blood and brain matter splattered all over Xia He’s face, but Xia He didn’t even blink. He just took out a handkerchief from his trouser pocket, wiped the blood off his face, then stepped over the corpse and walked towards the warehouse inside the cabin without looking back.

About five minutes later.

After taking out the Qinghe wood that was swapped by Basser and piling it back on the cart, Xia He held the cigar he had found on Cotto’s body in his mouth and said to Buffalo and Baby-5, “Don’t worry about the body on the ground. If nothing unexpected happens, someone in this town should come and deal with it themselves later.”

“So…are we going to leave with this wood?” asked Buffalo.

“No need.” Xia He shook his head. “Leave the wood here, then search nearby and take away two million Baileys.” Xia He replied.

“Two million?”

Buffalo was confused again after hearing this. “Since we have killed all the people, why don’t we take all the money from the shipyard? I just saw a safe in the old man’s office. I think the money inside should be no less than 100 million…”

“Don’t be too greedy, Buffalo.” Xia He was choked when he lit the cigar. After he got used to it, he continued to explain, “There are gangs in Xigua Town. If nothing unexpected happens, this shipyard is nothing compared to them.”

He had already guessed this when he fought with Cotto just now.

After all, this level of strength is far from worthy of the title of “local tyrant”.

“Are we showing weakness to them?” Buffalo continued to ask with a confused look in his eyes.

“Of course not.” Xia He stretched out a finger and moved it left and right. “This is called being low-key and calm. When you go out, don’t stir up trouble casually. Didn’t Master Dover teach you this before?”

“Master Dover?”

The two looked at each other.

It is not difficult to tell from their confused expressions that Doflamingo almost never cares about other issues except giving them orders on a daily basis.

After all, he is a husband himself. How can he possibly teach baby-5 and Buffalo knowledge, or even the philosophy of life?

“It’s okay. You just need to listen to me. Um, Buffalo, take me to the safe.”

“Oh, this way.”

Upon hearing this, Buffalo immediately ran to the front to lead the way. However, after taking only two steps, he suddenly remembered something and turned around to ask, “Hey, shouldn’t we go find the key first? I think the material of the safe seems to be quite strong. It should be difficult to destroy it with brute force alone…”

“I’ll blast it away with a cannon.” baby-5.

“No, it would be bad if the things inside were blown to pieces.” Xia He quickly spoke up to stop them, “It’s just a small safe, leave it to me.”

As he spoke, he took out a piece of wire from his pocket and walked towards Cotto’s office.
