"You didn't hear wrong, but he's talking about pirates. What does that have to do with us?"
The man crossed his arms, sneering at Luca. "Kid, are you still half-asleep? Who told you we're pirates? We're law-abiding citizens, do you understand what that means, huh?!"
Beside him, a short man clutched his stomach, laughing loudly and without restraint. "Hahaha, this is too funny! The new city lord actually has a temper. His first day, and he wants to throw us all out of Seaway City?"
"Ah, you really scared the life out of me!"
A one-eyed woman, smoking a cigarette, jeered at Luca with a mocking smile. "Lord City Lord, you short of women? How about I go to the brothels in the Windflower Alley and find a few for you? How about I be your mother, huh? Hahaha!"
The pirates burst out in raucous laughter, as though they had heard the greatest joke.
Every city lord of Haillan County had wanted to exterminate them, yet here they still were.
