"Understood."

After solving the source of the conflict, Bao Lei didn't bother to care about these nonsense, and immediately turned Xu Leguo away.

Through the window, he watched the two figures go away until they disappeared from sight.

Only then did Richard frown, rub his temples with his fingers and sit down.

All the relatives in this wasteland are indeed troublesome, and they will cause a lot of mess if they are not careful.

Although in the early stages of the construction of the post station, Xu Leguo led the people to work diligently and made great contributions.

But Richard doesn't feel that these achievements are capital for his current evil deeds.

Especially when he dared to threaten him with the place where supplies were stored.

By the way, how did he know there?

When he thought of the consequences if his supply warehouse was excavated, Richard's eyes became more serious.

A bold idea emerged from his heart and grew stronger in just a few minutes.

At this time, the door happened to be opened again.

The person who walked in was one of his cronies, Marcus, the deputy captain of the guard.

Marcus is a furry bear, but because he lives on the border all year round, there is no obstacle to communication.

And stimulated by the harsh environment, he became extremely tall, standing over two meters tall.

Although it looks very bulky and can easily become a target when modern weapons can still be used, in the recent cold weapon stage, it is one of the facades of the giant tree root sea area.

When there is a dispute among travelers passing by, as long as they see Markas approaching, they will take the initiative to leave.

It can be said that Richard is still sitting in the position of manager now, and Marcus also deserves some credit.

"What's wrong? It's not my uncle who is causing other troubles again, is it?"

Richard put down his hands that were rubbing his temples and felt a headache.

"Yes, Mr. Richard, you guessed it."

"Stop talking nonsense and just tell me what happened."

"Now the whole inn is spreading rumors that your uncle has an affair with pirates and secretly gave them the defense plan."

Marcus told the rumors angrily.

Roughly speaking, several groups of travelers passing through have been attacked by pirates recently.

These cunning pirates didn't know what means they used to bypass the hidden spots on the sea and found an open space to launch an attack.

The damage was heavy for a while, and these people began to wonder if uncle Richard was selling information.

After all, his lavish gambling during this period was obvious to all, as well as the awesome things he boasted about.

It is not difficult to make people wonder where all this money comes from.

"It's really troublesome. How can we have the defense plans of these idiots, let alone my uncle?"

"You just want to frame it so that I, the manager, can wipe your ass, right?"

There were many voices in the inn about people going out to fight against pirates, but no one actually took action.

No one is stupid, but no one will take action for the benefit of others.

The reason why I stayed here was because I was afraid that the New World would be more dangerous, so I wanted to collect information for a period of time.

After confirming that there is no problem, a large number of people will immediately pat their butts and leave.

"I think so too, but now they want you to give an explanation."

"Give me a stupid explanation." Richard glanced at him: "You don't care what they do, just say what you like. We won't pay attention to them anyway."

"But. They have evidence of contact between your uncle and the pirates. I've seen it, and it doesn't look like the evidence was fabricated. So, tens of thousands of people are now denouncing it!"

Tens of thousands of people are protesting?

Richard was stunned for a moment, then immediately realized the seriousness of this matter and became cautious.

Speaking of which, why hadn't he heard this news before?

As a manager, Richard admitted that his control over the current station is less than 1% of the previous one.

But there’s no reason why he only found out about this kind of news that tens of thousands of people know through Marcus now?

"It suddenly broke out today." Marcus replied patiently and took out a few pieces of paper from his arms.

"I asked them to copy the evidence. You can take a look."

"Is this happening?"

Richard frowned and took the white paper and began to read the information on it carefully.

It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, you will be shocked when you look at it.

He originally thought that people outside were framing Xu Leguo and trying to use false information to extort supplies from him, the manager.

But after actually looking through it, it not only gave the time and method of contact between Xu Leguo and the pirates, but even the information during the contact was revealed!

Is it possible that the reason why the inn was frequently attacked before was because of Xu Leguo?

Richard himself was shocked when he came up with this idea.

Before there were not so many foreign travelers, Giant Tree Root Station had a headache from the pirates who came and went like the wind.

The opponent can always catch their defense gaps and then launch a sudden attack.

He had speculated whether there was a pirate traitor in the inn, but he never thought that this person could be his uncle.

"What do they want?"

"Hand over Xu Leguo to their disposal, and then you, the manager, will compensate everyone for their losses."

"Fart." Richard shook his head without hesitation and said directly: "Why should I compensate for the pirate's behavior?"

"But he is your uncle."

Marcus replied without knowing why.

"What's wrong, uncle? You came just in time. I need you to help me find someone to enter the water prison."

If everything hadn't happened now, although Five Thousand Seashells would be considered a massive hemorrhage, considering that they were his only relatives.

Richard might bite the bullet and act as a last act of mercy.

However, Xu Leguo threatened with material points and was now suspected of colluding with pirates.

Can't stay anymore.

He must be killed as soon as possible.

This will not only save 5,000 seashells, but also avoid future troubles.
