These sneaky people seemed to try their best to hide their figures, but the surrounding area was relatively empty, so that Ian saw them at a glance.
Obviously, these people were simply observing Ian, as if they wanted to confirm whether he had any companions or not.
Ian saw their intentions, so he couldn't help laughing, and said loudly: "Don't hide, come out, I'm just alone!"
Perhaps it was Ian's words that gave them confidence, and these people stopped trying to hide, and walked over one by one, fanning around in front of Ian.
After they came out, they were very surprised when they found that Ian was really just alone.
This group of people basically looks like big men, and their faces are also vicious. Many people have tattoos or scars on their faces, with pistols in their hands and cold weapons on their waists. Just by looking at their appearance, they can scare a lot of people. people.
The leader was a guy with an afro, with a tuft of beard on his chin. He said to Ian in surprise, "Boy, you dare to appear in the lawless area by yourself. You are so brave!"
"Oh? This is an illegal area? No wonder!" Ian nodded and asked him with great interest, "Who are you? Pirates?"
One sentence made the other group of people burst into laughter, and said, "In this illegal area, is there any difference in identity!?"
Ian immediately understood what the other party meant, and yes, although it is very close to the Navy headquarters, it is not the Navy headquarters after all. Chambord Island is so big, and the Navy only garrisons in certain areas on this island. With the number of troops in the garrison, it is impossible to control too many areas.
The illegal area is the area that the navy can't take care of, or the area where it is indulged by default. In this area, pirates can turn into human traffickers at any time, and bounty hunters can also turn into robbers at any time. Here, the identity or something is fundamental. It doesn't matter.
"Boy, it's unlucky for you to meet our Sicilian family!" The leader of the Afro grinned and said, "This is the territory of our Sicilian family. Since you want to pass through here, then leave all the valuable things on you." Bar!"
"Yo, it's still a family!" Ian was stunned, why did he sound like a mafia.
In fact, what Ian didn't know was that the criminal gangs in the illegal area of this island were basically formed by family groups, be it the Pirates, the Bounty Hunters, or the Traffickers It's all the same, because the local residents of Chambord Island know the existence of illegal areas, so they generally don't come to these areas. The criminal gangs here are only tourists from other places, or pirates who broke in without knowing the situation, etc. Wait, when there are too many monks and too few porridge, there will naturally be a competitive relationship between them, and battles will break out from time to time, so those who are weak and weak will not be able to get along here.
Moreover, most of the members of criminal gangs are not powerful people. They often can only embolden themselves through more numbers.
Generally, a criminal gang establishes a family in the name of their boss, and declares to the outside world that it is the name of their boss. The family Ian met right now is a gang of bounty hunters. Call it Sicilian.
Ian is a newcomer, so he doesn't know anything about the situation here, but it doesn't matter, isn't there a ready-made "guide" in front of him
With a smile on the corner of his mouth, Ian suddenly said seriously: "You guys have made a mistake! I should be the one to say what you said just now!"
"What... what?" Afro and the others didn't understand for a while.
Ian held the scabbard, pointed at them and said, "Listen up! You are already surrounded by me! If you are sensible, hand over all valuable things on your body!"
As soon as these words were said, the explosion head and the others on the opposite side immediately exploded: "This... is this guy crazy!?"
"A person surrounded us? Are you kidding me!?"
"This kid is playing us!"
When they finally realized that they were tricked by Ian, all of them became furious. The Afro who led the team was so angry that he jumped to his feet and shouted: "Shoot! Shoot! Kill this kid!"
So a group of people immediately raised their guns and fired at Ian!
However, as soon as their guns were raised, Ian had already moved, and a lot of bullets were fired. Even if Ian activated the Psychic Field, it was difficult to hide, so he simply left the place.
Exploding Heads and the others didn't understand what happened just now, they just felt a blur in front of their eyes, the figure just now disappeared, the bullets flew, and hit the position where Ian was standing just now, but Ian had already stepped aside, laughing loudly Said: "Are you blind!? I'm here!"
So everyone quickly turned their guns and shot towards Yian's new location.
The musket is indeed a good thing, it can make ordinary people have a certain fighting power, but after facing an opponent with the speed of Ian, the role of the gun will not be able to play, and Ian will not play this time. When the shot was fired, the speed burst out suddenly, and a dodge rushed to the nearest bounty hunter.
Step forward and chop! Ian casually slashed across the opponent's musket in two, then flipped his wrist, and cut off the opponent's right hand holding the gun.
Blood sprayed out with the flash of the knife, and the bounty hunter let out a scream, the musket in his hand dropped, and screamed while covering his wound.
Ian didn't cut off his wrist entirely, it's still useful for him to keep these people temporarily, so he just let them get injured and lose their combat effectiveness.
After finishing one, Ian's figure flickered again. Every time he approached a person, he swung two knives casually, cutting off the gun with one knife, and slicing the opponent's wrist with one knife. His speed was so fast that the bounty The hunter didn't even have time to react, seven or eight of them soon knelt down on the ground, howling and clutching their wrists.
It wasn't until this moment that they realized that their group had hit the iron plate. Although the other party was alone, he was an exceptionally powerful guy!
Ian stepped on Afro's body, with the tip of the Yan Modao in his hand pressed against his neck, and asked him with a smile, "What's your name?"
"I... My name is Hawking!" Afro said tremblingly.
Ian's eyes almost popped out when he heard that, what the hell! What a fucking name! ? Is it really okay for you to have such a name with an afro!
"Okay, Huo... Hawking!" Ian coughed and said, "What kind of family is your Sicilian family?"
Hawking didn't dare to hide anything, so he told about the Sicilian family.
This Sicilian family has about 40 or 50 members. It is not quite right to say that it is a bounty hunter group, because they are doing everything, robbery, catching pirates, kidnapping, espionage, intelligence, etc., are doing everything, In a word, what can make money, do it!
The members of this family are basically ordinary people. Compared with ordinary people, they are stronger and more fierce. Unscrupulous, if you can't win, you will be surrounded and beaten, if you can't be beaten, you will find a way to poison or stun your opponent.
According to Hawking's account, their family's sphere of influence is near the No. 16 Archman Mangrove. Their boss, Sicilian, was originally a pirate and possessed a whole body of strange power. Others thus took the position of boss.
Hawking is one of his cadres. It happened to be his turn to lead a patrol today, and when Ian's ship docked, Hawking and the others had already discovered it. Naturally, they don't like this kind of fat sheep that comes to their door. I will let it go, but the fat sheep turned into a big bad wolf in a blink of an eye, which is what Hawking and the others did not expect.
Feeling the icy chill of Ian's blade, Hawking did not dare to hide it, and confessed it completely. The members of these criminal gangs are all like this. You can't expect them to show any loyalty. On this point, they even Not as good as real pirates.
Ian asked other people again, and after finding out that Hawking was not lying, he let go of his foot and said, "Very well, stand up now and take me to your stronghold."
With the knife on his neck, Hawking didn't dare to disobey Ian's order. He clutched his wrist and stood up obediently. The other gang members were also called up by Ian. Although they were sweating in pain, But he didn't dare to say a word, and obediently walked ahead to lead the way.
The area covered by an Alkyman mangrove tree is actually very large. Ian was led by them for more than 20 minutes before he finally saw the stronghold of the Sicilian family.
It was a house that looked... How should I put it, it was a shitty house, but it was big, but not to mention crooked, the outside of the house was full of scars, and it looked like a dilapidated house at first glance.
"Your stronghold is here?" Ian really felt sorry for them. They dared to use this kind of house that may collapse at any time as a stronghold!
How poor is this!
"No way!" Hawking said with a bitter face: "Most of the money earned was taken away by the boss, and our subordinates only got a small amount, and the food, drink, and entertainment were quickly spent, and the boss refused. Take out the money to repair the house, so I can only live in this way."
"Oh!?" Ian's eyes lit up when he heard it: "So, your boss has a lot of money?"
"It's hard to say!" Hawking shook his head and said, "The boss's money will also be paid to other forces... There are several forces around us that are stronger than us. In order to keep safe, we have to pay them money every month as protection." fee!"
After saying these words, Ian couldn't help but despise the Sicilian family more and more. When he first heard that Mangrove No. 16 was their territory, and even the boss's name was so awesome, Ian thought they had It's a pretty good faction, but after listening to it now, it's not a good organization at all...
