Chapter 539
"Your base is blocking the road that must be passed. We don't plan to take a detour, so we plan to pass through."
"..."
After hearing Ous's words, the "Treasure Stealing Group" also looked at Ous, as if observing whether Ous was lying.
"And to be honest, you are really not afraid of accidents by setting up your base in such a place."
Ous said the same thing after looking at the base.
Although there are many roads, if it is not for robbery, it is obviously not a good idea to block the road that must be passed.
"In such a place, the Qianyan Army will not come. If they come, we can also run to Xumi as soon as possible, no problem. However, even if you are a "Treasure Stealing Group" like us, you have to pass through and give us a toll. This is why we set up our base in such a place. One person, 100,000 Mora."
"It's really a lion's mouth."
After hearing the words of the "Treasure Stealing Group", Ous also complained speechlessly.
"What's wrong? Do you have any objections? If you have any objections, don't go through our preparations. Take a detour. If it weren't for the fact that you are also a "treasure thief group", you would have to go through here even if you don't want to!"
"What should Ousi do to pay?"
"It would be best if we can solve the problem by paying."
Although it is a bit painful to pay 400,000 Mora for four people, it is not unaffordable.
The most important thing is to reduce conflicts.
"Okay, I'll pay. We have four people."
After saying that, Ousi also took out a bag containing 400,000 Mora and handed it to the "treasure thief groups".
"Oh? As expected of a "treasure thief group" doing cross-border business, they are rich."
The "treasure thief group" smiled and accepted the heavy 400,000 Mora.
Ousi also resisted the idea of robbing it back.
"Wait a minute, I'll bring the other two companions over."
"Go, go."
The "treasure thief group" who was in a very good mood after getting the Mora said the same thing.
After Os and Hawke left, one of the subordinates approached the "treasure thieves".
"What's wrong? If you want to share the money, let's talk later."
"No, that boy, I think I know who he is."
"You know? Who?"
"When I sneaked into the town some time ago, I saw a newspaper with a portrait of that boy. He seemed to be a wanted criminal in Fontaine."
"Wanted criminal?"
"Yeah."
"Oh, he's quite famous, right? It's rare to see a "treasure thieves" that can be published in newspapers."
"No, not that. I mean, his bounty is 3 million Mora."
"What! Are you serious! 3 million Mora!"
After hearing this number, the tone of the "treasure thieves" also became very surprised.
"That's right. Moreover, he has a blonde girl as a companion. That girl has a bounty of 5 million Moras."
"That means we can get 8 million Moras if we catch two people!"
"Yeah."
"This is really a good deal."
"So, Boss, what should we do?"
"What should we do? Prepare weapons and catch them as soon as they enter. Wait a minute?"
"What's wrong, Boss?"
"Don't you think that a boy and a girl worth 8 million Moras is a bit outrageous?"
"Really. Boss, no matter what, she is just a little girl. How can she be dangerous?"
"Do you know why they are wanted?"
"I don't know... I can't read. I only saw the portraits of the two of them."
"...No matter how you think about it, it's a bit dangerous."
"Boss, do you want to watch the 8 million Moras leave?"
"..."
After hesitating for a moment, the "treasure-stealing group" still chose the 8 million Moras.
They began to ambush Os and his group.
***
Os explained the situation to Ivy and Cora, and then followed Os and Hawke to pass through.
"You are here."
After seeing the four people approaching, the "treasure thief group" who had decided to catch Os also smiled and said to Os and his group.
"Well, so can we pass?"
"Of course. No problem at all."
(Something is wrong...)
Os observed the "treasure thief groups" in this place, and from their eyes, Os noticed something wrong.
"Brother Os, there is a trick."
Because these people are really too obvious, even Cora can see that something is wrong.
It was also MaHe reminded Os softly.
"I know."
(But why did it become like this? Did they intend to catch Korra and her mother after seeing them?)
After all, these "treasure thieves" were not in this state when they first came.
"What's wrong, are you guys not going to pass?"
After noticing that Os and his party suddenly stopped, the "treasure thieves" asked puzzledly.
Of course, deep in his heart, he was really afraid that his purpose would be discovered.
"Of course we have to pass."
While Os was talking, he took the initiative to lead others into the encirclement of these "treasure thieves".
The reason for doing so was that Os and his party really didn't take these "treasure thieves" seriously.
With Mora, they originally wanted to walk through this place without making any noise. But now that they have been targeted by these people, it is impossible to plan to not make any noise.
After Os and his party walked halfway, all the "treasure thieves" took out their weapons and surrounded Os and his party.
"Just surrender. Wanted criminal!"
The boss said to Ous after pointing his crossbow at him.
"Wanted criminal... I see."
After hearing the word wanted criminal, Ous understood what was going on.
"That's why, Brother Ous, I asked you to dress up as a woman. If you had dressed up as a woman, this wouldn't have happened."
Kora also took this opportunity to say this to Ous.
Ous really couldn't refute what Kora said this time.
(Really, if I hadn't been asked to wear a cheongsam, how could things have turned out like this?)
"What are you still chattering about? If you don't surrender, don't blame us. It's too late for you to draw your weapons now!"
"You guys are obviously the "Treasure Stealing Group", why did you arrest us?"
"We won't just let 8 million Mora get away from us!"
"8 million Mora?"
After hearing this outrageous number, Os was also confused. He had no idea what he was talking about.
