Chapter 228 Mistake
Standing in front of the entrance, Thea waited silently, one foot kept tapping the ground gently.
Now Teya felt that it seemed a bit too hasty to hand over the gold directly to that person like this.
Will they give him black and white?
But Teya didn't think that group of people would dare to do that, unless it was a fake black market.
However, after Teya waited for nearly 3 minutes, the mustache finally came over, still holding Teya's backpack in his hand, and then handed it to Teya.
"Sir, you should take your things first, please follow me."
After taking it, Teya deliberately glanced at the backpack while the man wasn't paying attention, and found that it hadn't been swapped, but less than 10 minutes had passed, and it would be too much to want to swap the bag.
Following the moustache, Thea walked out of the room they were in and headed to the right.
There seemed to be a staircase, Thea noticed, that seemed to lead down to the ground.
Mustache turned to look at Thea, then smiled and said, "Please follow me."
Sure enough, he took Thea up the stairs. It turned out that the stairs lead to a small building on the ground. It can even be said that the space below is the basement of the entire town.
Because as soon as Teya came to the stairs, he noticed that a window not far away was facing him, and the scenery outside the window was the same way he came, and he could even see it clearly.
But Teya can only analyze where it is, because he didn't pay attention to it when he came.
"This way, please, sir."
Mustache seemed a little anxious, and began to urge Thea, with a bit of impatience in his tone.
At this time, a woman's voice suddenly came from the upstairs of this house. The voice sounded young, a bit like a little girl, but the mustache actually called an adult to the upstairs.
It is estimated that the person upstairs should be the so-called person in charge.
Teya was not polite, and walked up directly, but what he was curious about was that it was just an ordinary devil fruit, did it need to mobilize so many people, and the person in charge moved out.
However, Teya felt that this matter did not seem to be so simple, and there was probably some problem or even a conspiracy.
So Teya raised his vigilance and walked to the second floor.
This is a wooden house with wooden floors, but the layout on the second floor can be said to be very simple, with a table, two chairs, and no decorations on the walls, but here you can see the entire sea behind scenery.
"Hi, I'm the person in charge here, you can call me Lilia."
The woman came, and Teya sized her up. She looked very young, but her voice was indeed much younger than her own.
"Carlos."
Thea nodded, as if he had announced his name, then Lilia smiled and asked Thea to sit down, and then poured him a cup of hot tea.
After Lilia also sat down, Thea asked her straight to the point, what was the reason for asking him to come here.
But the other party didn't seem to be in a hurry, and he didn't take Teya's tricks. He smiled and told Thea not to worry, and guaranteed that the devil fruit had been left for Thea.
After finishing speaking, Lilia sighed under Teya's dubious gaze, then walked to the table, took out a small box, opened it and found that there was indeed a devil fruit inside.
Although Teya is not very familiar with the Devil Fruit Illustrated Book, but Teya has seen the appearance of the Ganjian fruit and the smoke fruit more often, so I wrote it down.
What was contained in the box was the smog fruit, and now Thea inadvertently showed a trace of relief, but was captured by Lilia.
"Mr. Carlos, let me take the liberty to ask, this is just an unpopular natural devil fruit, why would you?"
Teya didn't answer the other party, but just asked the other party.
"Are you also very interested in this unpopular devil fruit?"
"Of course not." Lilia replied to Thea with a polite smile, then gently took a sip from the cup on the table, "I'm the one who was abrupt, I shouldn't have asked these questions."
Thea frowned slightly. Although he wasn't in a hurry right now, he wouldn't waste his time on such useless things, so he urged, can we trade?
boom.
Lilia put the teacup back on the table, made a soft sound, and then suppressed her smile.
"I hope you can answer my question. You know, although we are a black market, we still have to do what we need to do. Your gold is very similar to what was lost in our previous ship hijacking."
Suddenly, Thea's heart skipped a beat.
No, there is no need to be so coincidental, these are picked out at random, could it be that this gold is a black market item that the teapot man robbed?That's enough.
The other party didn't need to lie to him with such words, so Teya also believed that what the other party said was true. After all, he had shown all the smoke fruits to himself, and it was impossible to do this to such a degree just to cheat gold.
Moreover, the teapot man has been arrested, and the possibility of the gold being put in such a place where no shit comes from is basically the same.
But what should I say now?This was a problem for Thea, so he began to think of various countermeasures in his mind.
Or it’s the same as before, just say that I’m an adventurer, it doesn’t really make sense, but it can be considered.
Or truthfully answering that he is a navy, that is even more impossible. If he said this, he would not be expelled from the navy.
It doesn't seem to work if you don't answer the other party's question, it's a shame, and it will be suspected of having a problem.
What's more, what I need more is that devil fruit, if I miss it, it will be gone.
"I'm an adventurer. When I was exploring a certain island a while ago, I accidentally discovered a secret room. There is a lot of gold in it, and I took it out from there."
After saying these words, Lilia didn't speak, but just picked up a newspaper on the table, and pointed to a pile of gold piled up in front of an island on the cover, with Tina's back next to it.
Teya didn't pay attention to the newspapers recently, so he didn't know that this matter had already been widely circulated.
"Is it this island?"
Facing Lilia's question, Thea nodded, and now he said along with the other party, it should be fine.
Throwing the newspaper aside, Lilia thought for a while, then turned to look at Thea, and then laughed.
"I'm so sorry, I wish I could have seen the gold with my own eyes."
"Please."
After Teya finished speaking, he poured all the gold in his backpack on the table.
At this moment, Lilia felt a little irritated. She felt that although what Teya said was outrageous, the time and place he added later were indeed in line with each other. She only took this point because the boat would sink if she took it again.
And the boat that Teya came to this island to take, it can basically be concluded that he did not tell a lie.
But Lilia's intuition was telling her that Thea might be hiding something.
She looked through every piece of gold jewelry. At the beginning, the batch of gold jewelry was to be sent to other islands. She personally inspected this batch, so she couldn't make a mistake.
"These are indeed some of the goods we lost that year."
"Then I'm sorry, although I found the gold, but you don't want me to return it to the original owner?"
Lilia smiled, didn't say anything, just looked at Thea lightly.
In business, you must pay attention to integrity. This is the rule she set for herself.
So she didn't have the idea of snatching it from the beginning, she was just purely curious.
What kind of person is a guy who is designated to ask for a devil fruit? How much does he weigh?
Looking at it now, Lilia felt that she might have misjudged the person, and she turned from curiosity to a little disappointment.
The person in front of him is impatient and a little impatient, but he recognizes the principles very well.
Although it looks ordinary, but people are interesting.
In the end, Lilia directly gave the box containing the smoke fruit to Thea, but she said that she would increase the price, because this devil fruit was just received, and it has not yet entered the so-called discount period, so it can only be more than doubled money to buy.
So Thea directly gave all the gold to Lilia, thinking that this person really knows how to do business, and calculated the exact price of his gold.
But Teya originally planned to give them all, after all, as I said before, it cannot be discounted.
Carrying these hot potatoes is not enough to be annoying, and Te Yaquan throws them out, but it is out of sight and out of mind.
Thea opened the box, and the smoky fruit lay quietly inside. Thea felt that the hard work was really worth it.
But then, Teya suddenly discovered that there was a piece of familiar-looking cloth under the box. He seemed to have seen this kind of coarse cloth before.
After thinking about it for a moment, it occurred to him that this was the cloth that the guy who came with him had wrapped it in.
Suddenly, an idea appeared in Thea's mind.
Could it be that the guy just sold this smoky fruit?
At this moment, however, a boat was parked on the shore in a blind spot of the house.
A gray-haired old man came down from the boat, holding a cigarette pouch in his hand, but wearing a coat.
"Boss, do you want to inform Missy?"
The old man took a puff of his cigarette, then glanced at the man in black beside him, and said disdainfully, "If I call her, I'm in vain."
But at this time, the blond man who came with Thea passed through the woods on the bank and happened to bump into these people.
"Hey, isn't this the son of the Catherine Temple Chamber of Commerce? Why are you here?"
The blond man was taken aback when he saw the guy in front of him, and then looked at him coldly.
"It's actually you! The black market father."
