this!
Redfield's expression froze instantly.
He was a man destined to die, so he could speak recklessly and say whatever hurtful things he wanted.
After all, in his eyes, Bai Yu had destroyed his last ambition and wish.
If one doesn't indulge in some sharp words before death, one will die with a grudge in one's heart, and will likely die with regrets.
However, even though he knows he won't die, the other party is still letting him go to seize the Mythical Zoan Bat-Bat Fruit he's been dreaming of.
If we continue with this verbal sparring now, we'll likely end up with a knife whether we stick our necks out or not—we'll just be dead.
A jumble of thoughts flashed through Redfield's mind. Feeling Bai Yu's gaze, he couldn't utter a single word.
Rayleigh and Shakky, who were standing to the side, were also somewhat dumbfounded.
They were all old-timers from the old era, and of course they knew exactly how lofty and unapproachable this so-called ceiling of the old era, who was said to be able to rival the two great pirate crews all by himself, truly was.
In the past, they were the kind of people who could turn on you in an instant.
However, now facing Bai Yu, this rising star, he was undoubtedly uneasy, unsure whether to speak or remain silent.
His face turned red with embarrassment, and he could only stare blankly.
Finally Shakky couldn't help but chuckle, breaking the stalemate.
"Haha, Redfield, I never thought that in this new era there would be someone who could suppress you. If those old guys knew, they would laugh until tears streamed down their faces."
"I can't take it anymore, I'm really about to cry."
Shakky smiled and wiped her eyes, while Rayleigh, standing beside her, also wore a broad smile.
The unexpected disaster that just happened was something they, as remnants of the old era, were already prepared to accept, whether it was from the navy or any other enemy.
The tavern was indeed destroyed, but seeing the arrogant old man suffer a great loss, unable to even utter a word, was enough.
At least, when we're in the afterlife, who knows, we might have something to brag about when we're having a good time together.
"Shut up, Shakky, Rayleigh, you two old bastards! Even if I lose, will your fate be any better than mine?"
Redfield the Roar through gritted teeth, his face ashen.
"Watch out, that brat might suddenly say, 'You're worth a beating,' and then he'll just swat you across the face with a knife. You won't even know how you died."
Everything that had just happened was still vivid in Fieldfir's mind.
In particular, Field believed that the lack of martial ethics in the fight was the biggest reason for his defeat.
He showed absolutely no manners, launching a scathing attack on any notion of respecting elders and caring for the young.
The mere thought of it filled Field with rage; he nearly ground his teeth to powder.
However, Rayleigh didn't take these resentful comments to heart at all. After taking a sip of his drink, he chuckled dryly and said, " Field, you're mistaken. I'm not like you, you shameless old man. If Brother Bai Yu suddenly said he wanted to chop me up, I would admit defeat immediately."
"Brother Bai Yu, you don't mind if I lose without a fight, do you?"
Looking at Rayleigh, who admitted defeat as soon as he opened his mouth, with that serious expression on his face, Bai Yu helplessly touched the tip of his nose.
Originally, Bai Yu was also considering what to do if he couldn't accumulate enough System Points from Field.
They also planned to borrow some money from Rayleigh.
Now it seems unlikely.
They have absolutely no will to fight; they can't just stand there and let themselves be hacked to pieces, can they?
Even if Rayleigh were willing, the system probably wouldn't accept this kind of battle.
Thinking of this, Bai Yu could only put aside his thoughts and take a swig of wine.
"Ding-dong, congratulations host, you have defeated Red Count Redfield and gained 5,000 System Points. Your current total score is 47,100."
The system's ethereal notification sounded abruptly.
Bai Yu raised an eyebrow, looked at the amount displayed on the system page, and gave a helpless bitter smile.
Originally, Bai Yu thought he could get 3,000 System Points from World, but he might not be able to get 10,000 points from the Red Count.
But at least, it should be around seven or eight thousand.
Now, a figure of 5,000 points has appeared, which is undoubtedly a significant underestimation.
I still need 2,900 System Points to reach 50,000.
To remove unknown permissions from the system, it's practically the final step.
That's bullshit!
Now we can only pray that the system's eyes will be discerning and that it can fill in the gaps in Rayleigh's life.
"Ding-dong, congratulations host, for defeating Dark King Rayleigh without a fight, you have gained 2,500 System Points."
A second, ethereal notification sound rang out again.
Looking at the final System Points, Bai Yu almost wanted to kill the system.
The System Points I owed weren't much, only 2,900 points.
He figured that even if Rayleigh really admitted defeat, he could still earn at least three or four thousand.
But now a System Points 2,500 has appeared.
Bai Yu truly didn't believe that the system was deliberately sabotaging them.
We're now just four hundred System Points away from achieving our goal.
This undoubtedly made Bai Yu's abacus click away, and he subconsciously looked around.
That one glance sent a shiver down Rayleigh's spine, especially the moment Bai Yu's gaze fell on Shakky.
The cigarette that Shakky was holding in her mouth suddenly didn't smell good anymore.
" Bai Yu, what kind of look is that? You wouldn't be going to sleep with an old woman like me, would you?"
Shakky couldn't help but speak up.
However, he quickly realized his slip of the tongue and hurriedly corrected himself.
"No, you don't think an old woman like me is worth chopping down, do you? I surrendered even before Rayleigh. If you really want to chop me down, this old woman can only stand here and let you chop me down. But wouldn't you think that's too boring?"
"Right, right, Shakky's strength is even worse than mine. Bai Yu, kid, if you really want to fight, come at me. My bones still have some appeal." Rayleigh blocked Shakky behind him.
He gave off an air of utter urgency, as if he was coming after me.
Looking at Shakky, who had also given up the fight, she spoke up.
Bai Yu was helpless.
If Rayleigh were in the old era, he would be the right-hand man of the Pirate King, bearing the title of Pluton. Even if he admitted defeat, he could still earn 2,500 System Points.
Now that the burden has fallen on Shakky, what if all her efforts come to nothing?
At this critical juncture, where can he find some points to make up for it?
"Ding-dong, congratulations host, for making Black Widow Shakky voluntarily admit defeat, you have gained 500 System Points."
"Ding-dong, congratulations host, your current total system points are 50,100, meeting the conditions for unlocking unknown system permissions. Do you wish to unlock unknown system permissions immediately?"
The system's ethereal notification sounds rang out one after another.
Upon hearing this, Bai Yu's tightly furrowed brows relaxed instantly, revealing a smug smile.
