Jay glanced at the progress bar and found that it was not counted as an effective attack, and he immediately became unhappy.
He glared at Buck and taunted him loudly, "You useless piece of shit! You can't even hit someone! I think you should just go back and continue washing my underwear! Maybe you can even develop a business washing other people's underwear!"
"Shut up!"
Even a clay man has a temper. Buck was so angry that he immediately hit Jay hard on the back with a stick.
[Effective Attack +1]
coming!
Although Jay groaned from the beating, his eyes lit up slightly.
"continue."
Upon hearing this, Buck immediately hit him with another stick.
Then, without Jay's further urging, he started hitting Jay with one stick after another.
There is a sense of taking the opportunity to vent.
But Jay didn't care.
"Don't hit me in one place. Do you want to break my bones?"
"Yeah, try hitting different parts of your body...except for the vital parts! Do you want to die?"
"That was too light, try harder, didn't you eat?"
. . . . . .
Jay was in pain and happy while being beaten.
After all, it really hurt when the stick hit his body. Soon his body was covered with red marks. He could only grit his teeth and persevere.
Fortunately, there was enough '+1' feedback to let him know that the beatings he was receiving were not in vain and were useful.
This provided him with great motivation.
And at this time, [Passive Ability: Fanma's Blood] also began to take effect.
His strong recovery ability allowed him to hold on longer, and he didn't worry about Buck's heavy hands, and he wasn't afraid even if he was really injured.
In addition, in this process, Jay can also exercise his ability to withstand blows, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
However, after the 'progress bar' had only risen a few dozen times, the first one to give up was Buck, who was in charge of beating people!
Don’t think that hitting someone isn’t tiring. Ordinary people who haven’t received formal training may run out of energy after punching with all their strength for only four or five times.
Although Buck is not that weak, he is just a private. How powerful can you expect him to be?
If he was really that powerful, he wouldn't be threatened by Jay with washing his underwear.
Sugarcane!
"No, no, I have no strength left."
Buck threw the stick to the ground and started playing dead.
Jay didn't force it. He just put on his clothes and said, "That's all for today. Starting tomorrow, get up an hour early and wait for me here. And the same thing after dinner tonight."
He wanted to make full use of the effect of [Passive Ability: Fanma's Blood] and try to see if he could recover after two times a day.
If all goes well, use your lunch break as well.
Chapter 11 If you don’t give me face, then turn the table over (Please collect and read!)
Buck was helpless, but compared to washing his underwear, being a little tired was nothing.
It's just a waste of time sooner or later.
Besides... beating people up is pretty satisfying, very stress-relieving!
While Jay was busy getting stronger, Colonel Hammond's progress was not going smoothly.
Originally, he thought that since he had the title deed in hand and his status as a naval colonel, it would be easy for him to get the rubber plantation.
After all, the so-called Sori family is just one of the many nobles in the Rose Kingdom and does not have any deep background.
It would not be so unwise to reject him.
But that’s what happened.
The Sori family used the excuse that "the title deed has always been in our hands" and "politely" drove away the people he sent.
Colonel Hammond was very unhappy with such a rebuff.
After all, he is used to being domineering, and no one has dared to disrespect him like this for a long time.
So he decided to go there in person with the title deed to see if the other party dared to fool him with such a poor excuse.
As a result, when he sat in the huge reception room of the Sori family manor and took out the title deed to the rubber plantation, the people of the Sori family laughed and took out an almost identical title deed.
He could not hide his contempt and said that the title deed brought by Colonel Hammond was fake and forged, and that he had been cheated.
Finally, they claimed that if Colonel Hammond was willing to hand over the liar and the fake deed to their Sori family, they would be willing to donate a sum of supplies to the 88th Naval Branch Base.
Colonel Hammond picked up the two deeds and compared them, and found that most of the contents were the same. The only difference was the king's signature seal.
The deed Jay gave him was passed down from his ancestors, so the paper was old and the king who issued it was the previous previous king.
However, the land deed produced by the Sori family was different. Not only was the paper very new, but even the king's seal was signed by the current king!
Combined with the results of his previous investigation and what the Sori family had just said, how could Colonel Hammond not know what the other party was up to?
So he said with a grim expression, "Do you, the Sori family, think I'm a fool? You should know which of these two deeds is forged."
The head of the Sori family, Sori Severus, smiled and quickly waved his hands and said, "No, no, no, our Sori family would never do that kind of thing."
"In fact, you should understand if you look carefully at these two deeds."
"As the original owners, the Nova family, since the last heir has disappeared, according to national law, everything originally granted to the Nova family, including land, honors, and noble status, has been taken back."
"So it's obvious that the deed I have is the legal one. As for yours, it's just a piece of waste paper."
"Very good, Thori Severus, I will remember you."
"Walk slowly, don't send."
Colonel Hammond took the title deed and left the Sori family's estate with a grim face.
After returning to the base, he called Jay immediately.
Amidst Colonel Hammond's curses, Jay finally understood the situation.
He was also a little surprised. He didn't expect that the Sori family would be so ruthless. No wonder no one stopped him when he ran away with the land deed.
So that was the idea.
When he thought about his original self who was still naively hoping to make a name for himself in the navy and then go back to take everything back... he couldn't help but sigh.
Little did they know that they dared to do this because they had already made all the necessary preparations.
Even Hammond, a naval captain, encountered setbacks and had to return in disgrace.
"Private Jay, I need an explanation from you right now."
After venting his anger, Colonel Hammond stared at Jay with a gloomy face.
Obviously, if Jay can't make up for his losses, he will probably end up in a miserable situation!
Jay's mind was working quickly. In this situation, he had no choice but to take a gamble.
Let’s bet on whether the other party’s greed has really reached the point of being bold and reckless!
So he took a deep breath and said calmly, "Sir, do you want to know how much wealth a noble family that has been passed down for three generations actually has?"
Colonel Hammond's eyes moved slightly, "What do you mean?"
"Literally. I just received intelligence that a group of pirates seems to be targeting the Sori family. If we can intercept and capture them before they escape with their vast wealth, I think it would be a significant achievement."
Jay did not explain himself step by step, but directly put forward a new idea based on some rumors.
Now it depends on whether the other party is really greedy enough.
Colonel Hammond's heart moved, and he immediately showed a thoughtful expression.
Is a Sori family worth taking the risk?
After all, he had never tried to target the nobles. Compared with those untouchables and pirates, the risk was indeed a bit too great.
His eyes suddenly stopped on Jay. If anything went wrong during the process, he could push him out as a scapegoat.
"You want to use me to take revenge on them?"
Colonel Hammond picked up a trimmed cigar and put it in his mouth, and Jay stepped forward to light it very naturally.
"I won't deny that I want to see the Sori family suffer, but more importantly, they've lost face with you, sir. And as far as I know, the Sori family has been amassing wealth over the years, accumulating a fortune, roughly estimated to be in the hundreds of millions. Isn't it only natural for our navy to confiscate ill-gotten gains like this?"
"Nonsense! Our navy's job is to fight pirates! How could we attack civilians?!"
"Yes, I misspoke. We confiscated this ill-gotten gains from the pirates who robbed the Sori family's wealth."
Colonel Hammond nodded in satisfaction, then said in a warning tone, "Jay, you're a smart man. I'll leave this matter to you. I just want the results."
Jay immediately stood at attention and saluted, "Yes, sir!"
Both of them knew that once this matter was settled, everything would be easy to discuss.
If it goes wrong, Jay will be blamed for everything.
But Jay didn't care. If he really messed up, the worst that could happen was that he would just run away. It wasn't like he had to be a navy.
In addition, he had enough confidence that he could use this incident to completely eliminate the Sori family.
By the way, get some benefits for yourself!
You know, there are still three empty slots in his system card slot. This is a good opportunity to make some money and draw cards!
So the relationship between him and Colonel Hammond was nothing more than mutual exploitation.
Chapter 12 Capone Becky (Please collect and read!)
In order to reduce the Sori family's vigilance, Colonel Hammond did not send anyone to look for them again, and it seemed that the matter was over.
It was not until half a month later that Jay changed his clothes, hid his navy identity, and returned to his hometown, the Rose Kingdom.
Following Colonel Hammond's prior instructions, he found the secret codes left along the way and came to a busy tavern.
Jay lowered his hood, sat at the bar, and said to the bartender who was wiping the glass in a normal tone: "One glass of whiskey, three-quarters of Coke, with lots of ice."
After hearing this, the other party replied calmly, "There are too many customers today, the ice is in the back."
After saying that, he stood up and left, and Jay followed him immediately.
Entering the back door, there were stairs leading down. Jay took the oil lamp handed to him by the bartender and walked down.
We arrived at the basement smoothly and found it was a very empty room.
I saw a short man wearing a hat, scarf and his favorite straight-striped suit, eating with a knife and fork.
Standard mafia attire.
The meal consisted of steak and red wine, with a lit cigar on the side.
But his eating manners were a little rough. He tore and swallowed a large piece of steak in a few bites, and then gulped down a glass of red wine.
Then he pulled off the napkin in front of him, wiped his mouth, threw it on the table, and put the cigar back into his mouth.
After doing all this, he raised his head and looked at Jay with a look of contempt.
"Did Hammond send you alone?"
Squeak!
Jay pulled out the chair next to him and sat down without hesitation. "I'm afraid you'll pee your pants if too many people come."
"Boy, you are very arrogant. Even your superiors dare not speak to me in such a tone."
"Really? I don't believe it."
"..."
Capone Becky's tone paused, and he began to regret bringing people here in person.
