Chapter 480: The Eccentric Old Man’s Disciple

Logically speaking, Arthur wanted to object to the old man’s words, but in the end, his curiosity overcame his rationality. “How did you know?”

“I smelled it.” The old man smiled and touched his nose. “You have the smell of death on you.”

“The smell of death?” Arthur frowned in confusion. “What is that smell?”

“A person who came from a life-and-death situation will have this smell. It is a smell that cannot be described with words,” the old man said.

“So mysterious.” Arthur scratched his head in disbelief.

“It’s not mysterious at all,” the old man said and smiled faintly. “You will know when you reach my level.”

At this moment, Arthur suddenly felt that the old man was faintly domineering for some reason.

Arthur thought so and asked curiously, “So it sounds like you have walked through many life-and-death situations?”

“Not many. There were at least 180 times,” the old man said with a smile.

Arthur blinked his eyes curiously for a while and asked, “Old man, what exactly do you do?”

“What do you think?” the old man asked with a smile.

“The word ‘powerful’ comes out of every pore of your body. How can a layman like me see it?”

The old man smiled and patted Arthur’s shoulder again.

“We were fated to meet today. How about this. I can take you in as my disciple.”

“Disciple?” Arthur was stunned. “And learn what?”

The old man thought for a moment and said concisely, “Fight.”

“Fight...Fight?”

Arthur smiled. Just as he was about to refuse, he suddenly remembered that he was penniless and couldn’t contact Lei Luo and the others.

Arthur thought to himself, turned his face, looked at the smiling old man, and nodded. “As long as you don’t turn me into a prostitute, that’s fine...But I still have friends waiting for me. I’m afraid I can’t stay with you for too long.”

“You want to stay with me for a long time, but I’m not willing. I’ll take advantage of my good mood to give you some pointers. It won’t take more than a few days.” The old man laughed.

Just like that, Arthur became the strange old man’s disciple in a muddle-headed way.

After two days of flying, the sky dragon-class passenger ship finally landed in the city closest to the mother nest of the Grizzly Pirates.

After that, Lei Luo bought a small boat and took himself and Tolle to the Grizzly Pirates.

Ten hours later, Lei Luo set foot on the Grizzly Pirates’ nest again.

Compared to the last time he was here, the place was slightly different. It had changed from a half-military half-life base to a well-organized military camp. All the old, weak, and disabled left behind by the Grizzly Pirates...were arranged in a special living area in the northeast corner, under the special care of Zacken. The other places were all under strict military regulations.

The most different thing about the mother nest from before was that Katz had completely disguised the entire mother nest plan.

Even if one personally went to the scene, one could only feel a neat and solemn atmosphere. However, one could not see the overall strength of the fleet from the surface.

This way, they could prevent others from prying into their own strength.

Just from this point alone, it could be seen that Katz’s ability in military management was much better than Zha Mu’s.

Seeing such a result so quickly, Lei Luo felt a little proud. So, he turned his head and said to Tolle with a somewhat ostentatious tone, “When I set off, this was just a pirate’s nest. But now look, how is it? It still looks good, right?”

Who would have thought that Tolle would answer with an indifferent tone? “If one knows how to put on makeup and is an excellent military strategist, then the best general in the world should be in the dressing room.”

Lei Luo felt very bored and turned his head away.

The two walked side by side for a while, and Tolle asked, “Why is there no one to welcome us?”

“Please, everyone is very busy. Who has the time to welcome us?” Lei Luo said.

“Mm, that’s good.” Tolle nodded and then asked again. “There should be a magic conductor in your camp, right? I want to meet him.”

“Hmm?” Lei Luo turned his face in surprise. “How do you know?”

“My teacher once brought me to stay with a magic conductor for a few years. I know their mood somewhat. Because they have been discriminated against by the natives for a long time, the magic conductors have a strong distrust towards the natives.”

Tolle paused.

“You might not believe it, but we natives think that we are superior to the magic conductors. However, do you know that in the world of the magic conductors, they think that they are the true orthodoxy of humanity? The magic conductors think that although the natives are smarter than them, they have lost their morals and etiquette and that for them everything has become a naked calculation and transaction. Therefore, most of the magic conductors not only have a sense of distrust towards the natives, but they have never really obeyed them. The subjugation on the surface was just a temporary difference in power, and they had no choice but to yield. If you only want to let such a person engage in production, then it’s not a big problem. But if you want to use them as soldiers, you’re worse off than commoners.”

Hearing Tolle’s words, Lei Luo nodded and said, “I really haven’t thought about these aspects.”

Saying this, Lei Luo clicked his tongue and said frankly, “Yes, there is indeed a magic conductor in my camp. He is my insider in the Great Wall of Iron Blood. I still don’t know his real name. I have arranged for him to go out with my director of the Military Justice Department to lead the fleet to deceive the magic conductor. I don’t know if he is in the mother nest now. If he is, I can immediately arrange for you to meet. If he is unfortunately not here, you may have to wait for a few days.”

“Director of the Military Justice Department?”

Tolle, who was only interested in magic conductors, suddenly became interested after hearing about this position.

“Can you explain the role of this position to me?”

“Yes, it’s nothing. I’m just responsible for ensuring the unification of the entire Black Angel Army’s command system,” Lei Luo said indifferently.

“Unification of the command system?” Tolle frowned. “Specifically, that’s how you guarantee it?”

“The reason why Trump sent you here should be to monitor our finances, right? Is it necessary for you to know so much?”

Lei Luo spoke while looking at Tolle.

“Trump has already promised to give us the money. You just decided how to give us the money. There’s no need for such a fuss, right, brother?”

“Yes, the authorization given to me by President Trump is relatively broad. If I’m in a good mood, I can give you all three hundred million in one go. If I’m in a bad mood, I’ll give you one gold coin a day.”
