Sol immediately yelled.
"Each other."
Maybe he was wearing a mask, or maybe he was really thick-skinned, but Arthur seemed very calm.
"Anyway, you made a profit. You know, the starting price of a human slave is 500,000, and you only spent 50,000 in treatment fees. You should be satisfied."
"Maud is not a slave."
Sunny suddenly corrected herself.
There was something else she didn't say - Maud was a coolie.
Arthur glanced at Sunny and did not answer. Instead, he dropped the work at hand and walked towards Maud.
Seeing Arthur approaching, Maud was secretly on guard.
This product doesn't look like a good thing at first glance.
Arthur was tall and powerful. Standing in front of Maud, he pressed half of Maud's body.
He looked down at the bandage on Maude's forehead and suddenly reached out to grab it.
Maude was well prepared. The moment Arthur made a move, she took a few steps back in time to avoid the catch.
"oh?"
A strange color flashed in Arthur's eyes.
His attack was so quick and sudden that no one would have thought that Mod could dodge it.
Based on his original diagnosis of Maude, he determined that even if Maude could wake up, her limb control would definitely be affected, and it was impossible for her to recover to this level in a short period of time.
But the facts are before us.
Not to mention anything else, just in terms of self-healing ability, he is already different from ordinary people.
The strange color in Arthur's eyes quickly faded away, and turned into a glow.
This is a good product, and it is also the favorite product of those special customers. Not only is it easy to sell, but the price can easily exceed the market price.
Thinking of this, Arthur stepped forward, wanting to further confirm Maud's physical condition.
The next moment, he suddenly stopped moving.
He looked back at Sol, who was smoking a dry cigarette at the counter with an expressionless face, and felt that the look he was looking at was really pricking.
At the same time, he realized that the seemingly ordinary little guy in front of him had probably fallen into Thor's eyes, and it was impossible to pry him into a commodity.
It's a pity.
But he could only quietly suppress the idea of negotiating a deal with Sol.
"Sorry, sorry, I was a little excited for a moment when I saw that the patient I was treating could wake up. I almost forgot that I am an undertaker now."
Arthur casually gave a reason for his transgression, and immediately returned to the body to continue the work he had just interrupted.
Sol's eyes softened.
Although he felt uncomfortable being cheated by Arthur, he did not doubt Arthur's professional ethics and knew that every penny spent was indeed used for treatment.
Otherwise, he could have let Arthur walk in and walk out sideways, and the friendship would have been in vain for many years.
Maud looked at Arthur's back.
Arthur, right...
Beside her, Sunny turned her head and looked at Maud's side face, doubts flashing in her eyes.
Next to the corpse, Arthur examined the wounds on the corpse and pulled out a thin needle with thread from the collar.
"My heart has been stabbed several times, so I can only give you 60% of the market price."
"Okay, finish it quickly and get out of here."
Thor blew out a puff of smoke and said impatiently.
Arthur said no more, and the right hand holding the needle shook a series of hand shadows at the wound of the corpse.
In just a moment, the messy wounds were sewn shut with needles and threads.
Maud looked at Arthur's display of skills and couldn't help but think of the woman in her previous life who used needles and threads as weapons and was extremely difficult to mess with.
Depend on.
Can the person in front of me, whose name is not even mentioned in the original novel, be able to do this
And Thor, although he is very short, he is definitely not weak.
This is only in the West Sea...
So, what is the situation like in the Grand Line and the New World
Maud's mood became slightly more serious.
It seems that we need to be more careful when choosing prey.
But don't be careless. If you fail to hunt "people", you will be "hunted" by others.
In fact, it was Maud who was worrying too much.
As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together, how can anyone who can get together with Sol be a weakling
And how many old pirates like Thor who have retired from the previous era can be found in a remote place like Mad Hatter Town
After sewing up the wounds on the body, Arthur dropped a small stack of money and left with the body.
After Arthur left, the store door closed again, ending the day's business early.
As for the bloodstains in this area, it was naturally up to Mod to clean it up.
Although she was hungry and thirsty, Maud could only obey the situation.
Fortunately, Sunny already regarded him as a colleague and took the initiative to give him a piece of cake and a glass of boiled water.
After swallowing the cake and drinking all the boiled water, Maud finally managed to calm her stomach and immediately picked up the tools and started cleaning up the blood stains.
At this time, Sol went upstairs to his room, but Sunny did not leave.
There are two stools at the counter, one high and one low.
The lower stool was for Sol to stand on, and the higher one was for sitting on.
She sat on the low stool, leaning on her cheek, watching Maud clean the floor.
After finally waiting for Maud to clean up, she finally asked her doubts.
"How did you escape?"
"Well?"
Maud looked at Sunny in confusion.
Chapter 6: Sorting out
It wasn't that Maud was pretending to be dumbfounded.
Mainly, the timing of Sunny's question was so weird.
Seeing Maud's confused look, Sunny added: "Arthur's hand."
"Oh, that..."
Maud looked at Sunny strangely.
After a pause, he put down the mop and bucket, and replayed his dodging action in slow motion.
After completing this action, he looked at Sunny and said in an uncertain tone: "Is that so?"
Sunny was silent.
A few seconds later, there was a sudden sound of something falling from the counter.
Maud subconsciously looked under the counter. After seeing a small part of the gun handle exposed at the edge of the bottom of the counter, her eyelids moved.
Sunny said at the right moment: "It's just that I accidentally dropped the gun, don't worry about it."
After saying that, she bent down to pick up the gun and placed it casually on the counter.
"I couldn't remember the action you just demonstrated. Could you please demonstrate it again."
“…”
Maude glanced at the flintlock gun lying across the counter. The muzzle of the gun was pointed at her intentionally or unintentionally.
He pondered for a moment, and of course he would not demonstrate that meaningless action again.
Although it is not clear Sunny's motivation for persisting in this, it seems that she can no longer take it lightly.
"I didn't use any methods. It was just because I was prepared at the time that I was able to avoid it in time. Besides, this kind of thing is not a big deal, right?"
When Sunny heard this, she looked at Maud quietly.
After a while, she nodded and said calmly: "It's really not a big deal. You can continue your work."
“…”
Maud was speechless and could only silently label Sunny as weird.
Then he put the mop and bucket in the storage room.
When she returned to the store, Sunny was still sitting where she was.
The flintlock gun that had been lying across the counter was gone. Instead, there was a piece of straw paper with a pencil pressed on it.
Maud's eyes glanced past the pen and paper and asked, "Can I go back to my room?"
Sunny nodded, took out the straw paper from under the pencil, and motioned to Maud to come and take it.
Maude understood, walked to the counter, and took the tissue paper handed over by Sunny.
There are a few lines of writing on it.
After a cursory glance, there seemed to be a few things to pay attention to.
Why should such a small amount of content be written on paper
Maud had a question mark.
Putting away the draft paper, Maud caught sight of the pencil from the corner of her eye, and her thoughts moved slightly.
"Sunny, can I take this money back to the room?"
"up to you."
"Thanks."
Maude took the pencil and turned to leave.
Sunny watched Maud leave, then took out a notepad and a newspaper from the drawer under the counter.
She placed two items on the counter.
The newspaper was put aside and the notepad was opened halfway.
There was some information with names written on the page that was turned over.
Sunny glanced at it, then turned over it again.
This page also has words, and in the upper part of the page, Kidd's name is prominently included.
Without looking further, Sunny flipped through it a few more times before finally reaching a completely blank page.
After that, she took out a pencil from the drawer, read the contents of the newspaper twice, and then used the pen to write something on the notepad.
After a few minutes, Sunny stopped writing.
The originally blank page was already half written.
At the bottom of the words was Maud's full name and a big question mark.
With one last glance at Maude's name, Sunny closed the notepad and put it and the pencil deep in the drawer.
"Let's talk to Thor."
Sunny whispered to herself.
