Baron's call was fruitful.

At least for the next day, Bucky moved out of the somewhat drab Navy Sanitarium.

His Excellency the Baron handed him a property located in Area 36. It is said that it is a large manor.

Hmm, I wonder how it compares to the richest man in Gotham City?

Bucky quickly withdrew the idea.

It would be a bit reluctant to call the building in front of me a manor.

A slightly larger villa?

This description is quite appropriate.

It's just that the appearance of the house is a bit old, and a lot of the red tiles attached to the three-story roof have fallen off. Under the slanting orange sunlight, it looks a bit lonely.

Not far from Soap Bubble Park, you can still see crowds of people coming and going from a distance.

Fortunately, Bucky is not picky.

I also feel that I probably won’t stay here for long.

A gravel path that never exceeds four meters connects the front door to the stone steps in front of the house.

The furniture inside is not old, at least the door handles are still shiny.

It sounds quite weird.

When Bucky walked into the house that was nominally his own, he could actually feel an obvious throbbing in his heart.

So he split the chest and held it in front of his eyes.

Watch carefully.

I will cheer and be excited to have such an asset...

This was not the reaction he should have had.

Bucky's feet stepped on the soft carpet, and he simply took off his shoes to see his reaction.

The heartbeat did not get faster.

But when he passed a golden ornament, his heart suddenly beat faster.

It was a gold dish mixed with some silver and copper.

It's just a plate.

Bucky felt that his nerves were not touched, but his heartbeat reaction could not be faked.

Gold...

Many images came to his mind at once.

It was he who found a rich treasure in a dark cave that illuminated the surrounding area, and he was among this pile of treasure!

Another image is,

I returned to a small town in the countryside, and with the money from selling gold, I built a bright three-story western-style building for my family, which made my grandma who always sighed with joy.

I called back those friends who grew up together.

Eat and drink together.

Those friends....

Another memory suddenly popped up in Bucky's mind, which was the experience of him and a red-haired kid running around among a group of adults with a wine glass.

There was a guy with a curly beard who looked at the two of them and smiled very happily.

There is also a middle-aged man wearing round glasses who looks a bit polite...

that period of time,

He could feel that he was very happy.

"Perhaps I have ignored you for too long." He whispered.

The sunlight outside shone through the intricately decorated enamel glass, illuminating his face in half light and half darkness.

Half of it is greedy joy, and half of it is extreme indifference.

"gentlemen!"

The gray-haired housekeeper just came from outside the house.

There were some flowers and grass on his body. The small patch of grass outside the house had not been taken care of for a long time. He had just trimmed it.

There was not enough light in the room, and he could only see half of the face and the conspicuous navy uniform.

But this is enough to prove that this is his employer.

"There is a guest looking for you outside." He said softly, without stepping too close.

It's a good idea to maintain etiquette and politeness until you know the new owner's personality.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work."

Bucky turned his head, with only a gentle smile on his face, and his chest didn't know when it would return to its original position.

No one would think that this was a madman or a pirate who had just left a mental hospital.

The old housekeeper even felt that he had met a good new master.

outside the door.

Arne was holding a camera and hesitated.

"First, sir." He always felt that this title was a bit difficult to pronounce.

"The news agency has agreed to accept me as a foreign reporter." But his smile still showed a sense of happiness.

After all, not long ago, I was ready to give up my dignity as a slave for sale. Now I can be a reporter, which is quite good.

What made him even more unexpected was that the branch president in charge of the interview, a guy with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, after hearing about his pirate experience, instead of being discriminatory, he had a look of surprise on his face.

Pirate, pirate is good!

The pirate supernova in the Shampoo Islands is our biggest news of the year!

He still remembered the branch president's expression when he said this.

It is common for pirates to dream of swordsmen, cooks, and navigators, but it is not common for journalists to dream of them!

Even Bucky was a little surprised.

He was already ready to let Jacques stuff some money.

"Not bad." He said softly.

Arne's gentle attitude made him feel a little strange.

how to say...

The feeling Bucky had given him before was like a jumble of protruding thorns.

Now the spikes actually feel a bit softer.

illusion!

Arne shook his head. He was not surprised that others would change, but this clown...

Impossible, absolutely impossible!

"But the branch also assigned me a task."

"The Heart Pirates, rated as one of the supernovas, are currently operating in Area 30 and want me to interview them."

------------------

Area 1.

The towering mangrove trees are floating with scattered neon foam.

The root system winding like stone veins interweaves on the sea surface like a flat land like an island.

The human auction venue is located in an open space the size of a square surrounded by many mangroves.

It is a tall building complex in the shape of a semicircle.

On the second floor of the auction venue, a high-level meeting belonging to the auction venue was being held.

"Do you really want that kid to get a share of the pie?"

Diouf made no attempt to hide his appearance, and his white navy uniform was particularly eye-catching in the dimly lit auction venue.

The man in the main seat wearing a tall hat and long purple hair chuckled.

"Haha, isn't this great?"

"For Lux's illegitimate son to become one of us, wouldn't it be a major blow to their family's business?"

"Besides, the resources that boy has access to are indeed what we need."

"Why do you need so many pirate slaves?"

Another man in a suit said disdainfully.

Training a pirate slave takes much more time than a normal slave.

"As long as our distinguished guests like it." The purple-haired man choked out coldly.

"My Lord may not agree with your plan."

"You know, the profit generated by the venue is not bad on the islands, but compared with your Lord's other industries, it is only marginal."

"That's why we need to be more aggressive!"

The purple-haired man looked unwilling.

"As long as we annex the auction house in Area 4, we can get more pirate slaves!"

"Only in this way can we please that adult more, do you understand?!"

"I still have an idea." Diouf knocked on the long table in front of him and signaled.

"If Auction House No. 4 does not have a transportation channel for pirate slaves, wouldn't it be able to achieve our goal?"
