230. Three cloaked men

The mercenaries who smelled of alcohol and sweat quickly brought Zemo back. Even the money bag he had left on the bar was taken and stuffed back into his clothes.

Most of this group of mercenaries are brave and ruthless people, and they are very loyal to the people they consider to be their own. Most of their ruthlessness is used on the objects they plunder.

"Speak clearly, brother Zemo!" a mercenary said loudly.

Zemo sighed reluctantly, "Okay, since you want to ask, I will tell you a story..."

The mercenaries around him fell silent and listened carefully to what he said.

"Once upon a time, there was a manor. There were two big bosses in the manor, one male and one female. The male boss had a lot of money and always wanted to annex the female boss's part of the industry and monopolize the manor. However, the female boss is not a vegetarian. It is not so easy to annex her. Moreover, the two of them are also hosting agricultural product exhibitions together. They have a lot of income, and their interests are intertwined, so it is not easy to let go."

"The male boss wanted to kill the female boss, but he had no excuse, so he wanted to make the matter bigger. After much deliberation, he settled on the agricultural products exhibition. As long as he destroyed the exhibition, he would have an excuse to take action. Moreover, he is the major shareholder of the exhibition, so no one would doubt him."

"But if you want to ruin your fair, someone has to pay for it, so the male boss found a bank. The bank boss also wanted to get involved in the farm business, so he gave the male boss a guarantee. As long as the female boss can be killed, the bank boss will definitely support the male boss in making the farm bigger."

"So the male boss trashed his own trade fair, falsely accusing the female boss of doing it, and then hired a group of people to kill the female boss. But in fact, think about it, the female boss is no match for the male boss, so why bother with the male boss? Take you for example, Jess Rhys, Redfang Barry's arm is thicker than your body, will you take the initiative to give him a slap?"

The mercenaries around him nodded thoughtfully.

Zemo continued, "But here comes the problem. The male boss fought for a long time on his farm, but he still failed to kill the female boss. Instead, he let her run away. Time continued to drag on, and the male boss ran out of money, but the wages of the workers he hired to kill the female boss had not yet been paid, so he went to the bank boss. But the bank boss told him that the female boss was not dead and he would not pay. So, what do you think the male boss will do?"

"Keep chasing the female boss!" Hunter, a bounty hunter, whispered.

But the people around him looked at him as if they were a fool. He also felt that this was too stupid, so he lowered his head and remained silent.

"Continuing to chase the female boss will only make him less and less money, and there is no guarantee that he will succeed. So the male boss has only one way, to sell his property in exchange for a loan from the bank boss. But in this case, it is the bank boss and his own regular army who will take action. No one cares about what will happen to the workers under the male boss, and have you ever thought about why the female boss ran away?" Zemo said mysteriously.

"Why?"

"Because the female boss found the boss of another company to help!"

"Oh..." There were whispers all around.

"So what happens to this farm is no longer up to the male and female bosses. It's the people behind them who have the final say! Those big bosses behind the scenes don't care what happens to the farm workers." After Zemo finished speaking, he stood up, "So you understand, we can't afford to play on this farm anymore. Let's go."

A mercenary suddenly realized, clapped his hands and said, "Oh! So the male boss is Jia..."

Bang! Before he could finish his words, he was slapped under the table. At this time, mercenary Redfang Barry asked, "Then can these workers just leave?"

"Everyone comes from all over the galaxy to beg for food. There is no need to die without eating a bite." Zemo replied calmly.

"Wait a minute Zemo brother! I don't want to leave! And I haven't gotten any money, why should I leave!!" Barry yelled.

"Yes! Yes!!" The mercenaries around them started shouting.

"Zemo brother! Think of a way!!"

Baron Zemo The corners of his mouth turned up slightly, but he still sighed helplessly, "It's not that there is no way, it just requires all of us to unite..."

"If there is any way, just say it!"

"As long as I can get money, I can do whatever I want!!"

Zemo suddenly showed a cold smile, and he said slowly, "It's useless to reason with people like Jabba, and we can't leave here. The Milky Way is so big, if we leave today, tomorrow more bounties Hunter will come and take up our business. So..."

He looked around and said, "Didn't Jabba want us to blockade Tatooine and not allow any spacecraft to deliver supplies to Gaddula? Then... let's put Jabba Just lock in there too. If you don't pay, we won't unblock you. We'll tell you when the money is paid. Don't worry about Jabba. He can't even give us money. Who else is willing to hire him?"

"Block Tatooine?!" The faces of the surrounding mercenaries suddenly changed.

"Can we?"

Baron Zemo took out a black envelope from his arms and placed it on the table. He only saw a skull with a sword on the envelope!

"Black Ship! It's Black Ship!"

"Does even Black Ship agree?"

"Nonsense! Black Ship has killed the most ships, and Jabba must also owe him the most money!"

"With Black Ship here, then there will be no problem!"

"Let Jabba see the consequences of defaulting on your debt!"

Baron Zemo pretended to be proud, stood up and threw a bag of Upiupi coin into the sky, and then shouted loudly, "Everyone is open to drink today, I invite you!!"

"Oh!!!"

At this moment, on the other side of the galaxy, Outer Rim, Cerea, and the second man wrapped in a cloak were also walking carefully in the village.

Cerea tries its best to maintain the original ecological environment. The scenery here is indeed unique, and there are no wild beasts. Residents basically do not worry about the threat of wild beasts even if they go out alone at night.

But even so, the man wrapped in a cloak was still cautious. He carefully avoided every patrolling Yalix cavalry on the road and advanced silently along the dense shadows of those trees.

He quietly came to the back of a wooden house and knocked on the window twice. The window was opened, and he climbed in directly.

There was a dim oil lamp burning in the room, and an old woman was lying on the bed moaning, looking very ill.

"Mr. K, please save my mother..." a middle-aged man begged.

"Acute cholecystitis requires immediate surgery!" the cloaked man said decisively.
