Pirates: Mechanic

Chapter 39 The Scapegoat

After dealing with the pirates, Qiu He walked towards the naval base.

Cleaning up the corpses piled up on the street and repairing the damaged buildings are all things for the navy, and Qiuhe doesn't intend to participate.

Normally, Qiuhe should wait for the Navy to finish his work before going to collect the bounty tomorrow, but he is afraid of the bosses in the Gran Branch, and they will just give up the credit today, so how can he collect the bounty then? There are precedents.

Qiu He walked slowly on the road to the naval base. On some empty streets, most of them were the figures of the navy escorting pirates. The civilians could only see a few here and there, but they were slowly increasing.

The news that all the pirates had been subdued had been informed by the navy to the civilians, and the civilians who were hiding began to come out one after another, and some bold ones even helped the navy clean the streets with tools.

Since the high-end combat power did not enter the city, the loss of the pirates' landing on Grand Island should not be too serious, and most of the people Qiu He knows are in the city center, so there is no need to worry too much.

Xiao Jin, who was lying on Qiu He's shoulder, raised his tail and poked Qiu He's cheek lightly with the tip.

"What, finished eating again?"

Qiu He turned her head to look at Xiao Jin, showing a helpless expression.

It has only been about ten minutes since Xiao Jin was summoned again, and Xiao Jin ate five apples in a row. These apples together weighed more than his body. Qiu He really didn't know how he swallowed it.

However, who made him open his mouth to make such a promise, as long as Xiaojin still wants to eat apples, he has to take them out until it is full.

"It seems that after receiving the bounty, I have to buy apples. I don't know if uncle is busy."

Taking out a bright red apple from the backpack again, looking at the few remaining in the backpack, Qiu He had to decide to go to the port later.

If Xiao Jin is not stuffed with enough apples today, he will probably get into trouble again.

Walking to the gate of the naval base, Qiu He happened to meet Tina who was leading the team to escort the pirates back. He raised the brim of his hat a little, exposing most of his face, and extended his hand to say hello.

"We meet again, Tina~ Colonel."

Qiu He looked at Tina with a smile on her face. She was too hasty before and didn't have time to look carefully. Now that she is watching from such a close distance, she has to admit that she is indeed very beautiful.

As a beautiful woman, she naturally has privileges. Qiu He generously forgave her for the misunderstanding that occurred before, and she had nothing to lose anyway.

"What are you doing here?"

Tina, who was originally relieved by capturing so many living pirates, suddenly became vigilant when she saw Qiuhe appearing not far away, fearing that Qiuhe would suddenly attack and kill all the pirates.

"Don't worry, I'm not a murderer, and I'm not so bold as to dare to kill the pirates caught by the navy here."

Qiuhe spread his hands, making a harmless expression.

"I'm here to collect the bounty, Commander Tina should tell them my share of the credit!"

Tina stared at Qiuhe and didn't say anything, but anyone could see the anger on her face. She took out a women's cigarette from her pocket and put it in her mouth.

"Girls should smoke less."

Qiu He walked up to Tina and persuaded her with a smile.

Qiu He doesn't like smoking, it costs money and is bad for health. But he usually doesn't point fingers at other people's hobbies, he just persuades them when he sees beautiful women smoking.

Tina ignored Qiu He, took out the fire and lit the cigarette, and took a light puff.

Qiu He shook his head, walked past Tina, and walked into the base.

"If you smoke too much, your teeth will turn yellow, your skin will deteriorate, and you will have bad breath. Then you won't be pretty! Tina is beautiful."

Tina's hand holding the cigarette paused, her eyes looked at the burning cigarette in her hand, showing a struggling look,

In the end, he threw the cigarette he had only smoked on the ground and stamped it out with his feet.

At this time, Qiu He, who had hidden his achievements and fame, had already entered the naval base, and was led by a navy to the reception room to wait.

Qiuhe was eating snacks and drinking tea leisurely in the reception room. As the base manager, Kevin was struggling with how to deal with this incident.

Although the pirates' invasion was stopped in time, and the damage to the city was not serious, there were quite a few civilians killed or injured. After all, these are a group of pirates who have been suffocated at sea, and they really kill everyone they see after they land on the island.

For this incident, we must quickly find someone to take the blame, and then send the result to the headquarters, otherwise Kevin will have to bear a lot of responsibility when the headquarters handles it.

As for hiding this incident from the headquarters, Kevin didn't even dare to think about it, not to mention that his goddess, Colonel Tina, would have a hard time passing it, and Major General Stanley, who could arrive at any time these two days, would certainly not be able to pass.

Thinking of this, Kevin felt even more headaches. He thought that there would be a chief of the headquarters. With a few years of management, he, a local snake, should be able to suppress this mighty dragon. Who knew that the one who was sent was actually his goddess.

I don't know whether to be happy or sad, but his goddess hates him a little, and she usually keeps her distance from him deliberately, and she doesn't dictate his management, just doing what the support staff should do.

However, just two days ago, Tina suddenly told him that Major General Stanley, who came to support him, would arrive soon. It wasn't until that time that Kevin knew that Grand Island was also supported by a rear admiral from the Navy Headquarters just like the rest of the three seas, but his rear admiral came later.

That's a major general, no matter how strong he is, he is only a sub-commander, and he has neither the qualifications nor the ability to suppress the major general.

Kevin wants to do his duty as soon as possible, do things with peace of mind, and try his best to keep the island free from any problems. When the cleaning of the world was over and the support staff left, he got up and jumped again.

Who knew that something like this would happen at a critical moment.

"Boom!"

There was a knock on the door, and Kevin hurriedly arranged his clothes, and controlled his face with a blank expression.

As a leader, you must never let the people below guess what you are thinking.

"Come in."

"Commander Kevin."

Kevin's adjutant opened the door and walked in, giving him a military salute.

"What's up?"

"The bounty hunter Qiu He came to receive the bounty from the sparkling wine pirates. Although he did not bring the corpse of the pirates, he was guaranteed by Tina as a witness. May I ask if the bounty will be paid?"

The adjutant put the document on Kevin's desk, and along with it, there was a document of the incident that Kevin asked him to sort out, and the content on it was written in great detail.

Kevin flipped through the documents and suddenly had an idea.

"Yes, it can be done like this."

Kevin muttered to himself and signed his name on the document.

"No problem, pay him all the bounties from the Bubble Wine Pirates."

"yes!"

The adjutant took the document, saluted Kevin again, opened the door and left.

"All the credit for this time is given to him. It's a pity that the pirate leader is a newcomer, and he only has a reward of 30 million Baileys. It seems that he has to let people publicize his previous achievements. The family members of the deceased need to find someone to warn them. The impact of the incident is suppressed, and a scapegoat with enough weight must be found. Well~ it's you, although I feel sorry for you, but you are the most suitable one. The person who will deal with it... It seems that I can only let Finn go gone."

Tapping the information on the table with his fingers, a smile appeared on Kevin's face again.
