When Hawking reported this situation, he was extremely sad and angry in his heart, because he was pushed out as a scapegoat by the remaining people who did not run away.
The reason, of course, is that Boss Ian only knows your name now, if you don't report it to whom
As a last resort, Hawking had no choice but to bite the bullet and come to Ian, telling the news, he was ready to accept Ian's anger.
It was originally, the people under him were still asking the boss to swear allegiance, but turned around and ran away so much. If it was Hawking himself, he would not be able to bear this kind of betrayal. The new boss, Ian, looks very young , young people are more impulsive, and now I'm afraid I will be angered...
However, what Hawking didn't expect at all was that after hearing the news, Ian, who was sitting on the sofa and eating, just let out an "oh".
Didn't look surprised at all...
Hawking thought he was wrong, and rubbed his eyes vigorously, but found that Ian really didn't care at all. Now even Hawking didn't know what Ian was thinking.
"Run away!" Ian wiped his mouth with a napkin after eating, and then said, "I didn't expect many people to stay!"
Yes, from the very beginning when he took over these people, Ian knew very well that many of these people had other intentions.
This is mainly because of Ian's own reasons. First of all, his age looks too young, and any of his nominal subordinates, who stand up at random, are all older than him, such as Hawking, who is simply an idiot. An uncle in his late thirties, but Ian, a young man, has become their new boss, which naturally makes some people feel awkward and uncomfortable.
The second is the issue of reputation. If Ian is a pirate, as long as his bounty is higher, these people will obey him for the sake of the bounty, but the problem is that Ian is not, he is a pirate hunter. Due to his status, he does not have any rewards at all now, and his reputation is only relatively loud in the East China Sea, and it does not affect Chambord Island at all.
Maybe Ian is very powerful, but this kind of strength can't make a deep impression on these people because he doesn't have a matching reputation. Many people think that he is bragging about catching a big pirate with a reward of tens of millions.
In addition, as soon as Ian came, he vetoed the two businesses of kidnapping and human trafficking, which made some people feel that following Ian might not make any money, so once they left the house, their lives would no longer be in danger. Falling away is naturally within reason.
Ian had vaguely anticipated this a long time ago, so he was indifferent to the news brought by Hawking.
Not only that, but he felt that it would be better for these people to run away, and let these people inquire about the information of the pirates. When Ian catches the pirates, the bounty he got will naturally not be able to take it all, so he should share some of it. To give these people under his command, of course, he didn't intend to give too much. In this way, the same amount of money will be distributed to the remaining people after the number of people decreases, and it will be easier to buy people's hearts. .
Threats and lures are just like this. Ian didn't regard these people as real subordinates, but just used them to gather information for himself. Since he said he used them, then why should he be angry
Ian didn't intend to pay attention to those who ran away, but for those who stayed, no matter what kind of thoughts they had, whether it was because they had nowhere to go, or because they wanted to wait and see, Ian still planned to take a look. After wooing them, he said to Hawking: "Since you still came back to report the news, that's good. From now on, the remaining members will be handed over to you to lead!"
Hawking was overjoyed when he heard that, knowing that this meant that he was given the second seat in the family, so he quickly expressed his loyalty and said, "Yes, Boss Ian! I will work hard for you in the future!"
Ian nodded and asked, "Have all the hands spread out?"
"It's been broadcast!" Hawking replied, "It won't be long before they will bring back information about all the pirates who stayed on Chambord Island recently, don't worry!"
Rats have their way of rats, and snakes have their way of snakes. Although these so-called bounty hunter families are all gangsters, they are the local snakes of Chambord Island after all. They always have their own ways to get these information, which is comparable to Ian It's much better to be alone on the island.
There was nothing to say that night, but the repair materials purchased by Hawking arrived first the next day.
In fact, Hawking originally wanted to find someone to repair the house directly, but this is an illegal area, and the repair craftsmen are not willing to come here, so Hawking can only settle for the next best thing, and buy a lot of materials to repair it by himself.
Since the house needs to be repaired, this stronghold can’t live for the time being. Ian moved a chair and sat outside. Lorraine and Elena accompanied him, watching Hawking lead a few people with hammers to start hit the wall.
The voice was very noisy, and there was an unbearable feeling. Fortunately, at this time, the people who spread the information came back one after another, and Ian finally had something to do.
A table was brought out, and there were reward lists and corresponding information collected by Ian's subordinates. A member of the Ian family, nicknamed Lame, was explaining to Ian.
"Boss, our manpower is limited, so we only investigated the adjacent hotel area and playground area. The mangroves from 70 to 79 are the range of the hotel area, and the mangroves from 30 to 39 are the playground area. Both areas are areas where there are many pirates, but these days, it seems that no pirates with a bounty of over 100 million have landed on the island."
"Oh, then who did you find with the highest bounty?" Ian asked.
"It's the Skinned Pirates!" The cripple said: "Their leader is Bolton Lucius, nicknamed 'Leech', a very cruel guy, and the current bounty is 8600 Bailey!"
Ian picked up the bounty list of Bolton Lucius, but what he saw was a smiling, gentle man with two neatly trimmed mustaches on his lips.
"This guy's nickname is leech? Could it be a mistake?" Ian said with some surprise.
The cripple said with fear on his face: "It's not wrong, Boss Ian! Don't look at this guy's aristocratic face, but this guy is really cruel. His favorite torture is to hang his skin on a cross. As soon as the guy landed on the island, all the bounty hunter groups on Chambord Island got the news, but none of them dared to attack him."
"Has any reward been offered to his subordinates?" Ian asked.
"That's not true!" The cripple shook his head and said, "He is the most famous one in this pirate group."
"That's fine, it's up to him! Where is he?" Ian nodded.
"Boss Ian, are you really determined to catch him?" The cripple said with some concern, "This guy is a devil fruit user!"
"Don't worry about this!" Ian said, "You just need to tell me about his situation!"
The cripple looked troubled, but he still nodded and said: "Bolton Lucius is a paper fruit capable person. It is said that his body can be transformed into countless pieces of paper! Brothers in the family heard that he has He stayed in the hotel area all the time, as if he was waiting for his ship to be coated before going to the new world."
"In the hotel area, is someone staring at him?" Ian asked.
"Yes!" The cripple nodded, then took out a baby phone worm and handed it to Ian, saying: "Since you have decided to arrest him, boss, use this phone worm to gather the family's people."
"Do you dare to participate in the battle?" Ian looked at the cripple with a half-smile.
"I...we..." The cripple was speechless for a long time.
"Forget it!" Ian didn't count on these people, he waved his hand and said, "You can just stay aside and watch, and when I catch Lucius, you can come over and help."
Ian didn't answer the toddler's phone bug either, took his Yan Modao, put on his hat and said to Hawking: "You guys look after your home!"
Hawking and the others quickly responded, and then watched Ian leave, followed by the lame guy, limping along.
"You say, boss, can he really catch such a powerful pirate?"
After Ian left, a house repair bastard asked.
"Who knows!" Hawking shook his head: "If he really wins, then our Ian... family may really rise, but if he fails, we may have to change the boss again..."
Lorraine and Elena also looked at Ian's leaving back with concern. Perhaps they were the ones who were really worried about Ian.
