Chapter 1322 Bartender Kindness

Azief looks at the bartender and the bartender looks at him

The bartender looks at him up and down.

\'We don\'t sell information to everybody. Especially not to a nobody. Old man, it is better if you go home\'

It is understandable why he would act like that.

Azief did not seem to be someone that could pay for the services.

In his disguise as an old man, he looks very much like a frail old man that there almost seems to be no flaws at all.

The problem was the disguise is too good.

Azief himself is not that mad. He could understand why the bartender look down on them

This is a pirate city. A city of outlaws. And in the world of outlaws there is only one thing that they respect and that is strength

The bartender looks at the old man and he made a swift judgement

there is nothing to indicate that this old man is powerful.

Not only that he is an old man, he also brought a little girl inside the tavern.

Even though there is no such rule that one could not brought children into the tavern, that is just common sense.

The bartender said these things not just to provoke the old man.

After all, being a bartender where all kinds of outlaws frequented, he would not be working here for as long as he did, without knowing how to bend so as not to break

There are always some powerful outlaws coming in and having a power trip so he always analyzes the people that came here.

And his intention was not malicious or evil.

He also spoke because he wanted the old man to be safe. It is not good when one buys information and did not have the power to buy it.

He had seen too many cases like that and as such he has a penchant for filtering the people who could not afford to pay

Most of the establishment inside this pirate city follow the laws. But the laws are also very loose.

What do you expect from a city of pirates? This is not the land of the Seven Great Powers, and there is no quite central authority.

With the expansion of the Earth, people who have power, strength and influence could always sail the sea and cross the continents to find some large land to occupy and make a force for themselves.

The only reason why the Seven great powers did not crumble with so many people immigrating out from their sphere of influence is because under the Seven Great Powers, there is law and order.

There is relative peace.

And their rights are protected. Out of the sphere of influence of the Seven Great Powers, it is the Law of the jungle.

And while this city has laws, there is an unspoken rule about the laws in any pirate cities or the cities under the Crime Alliance or the Pirate Lords.

They all share one common thing and that is whoever fist is bigger, their rule is right.

Of course, the existence of Laws is simply to projects the havens of pirates or the cities for criminals.

No matter how chaotic criminals and pirates are, they all understood that they still need to trade information, resources and as such they need a stable place to make these deals.

Hence, there are organized crime

The city of Arturia also operate like this. To others who like order and peace, this might not be the place one wanted to frequent

But to those who seek power, fame and influence and believe in their confidence to strike it big, the seas and the skies are there for everyone to uncover.

In this new brave world, not even the Seven Great Powers could surveil every continent like they did before.

He looks at the old man and shakes his head.

He is shooing him away for his own good. This old man could not possibly pay the fee for any information.

any deals made, as long as it has been signed and sealed, the city government would not interfere.

So, the way he talks to the old man might seem rude but he had good intention.

The other patrons of the tavern who also heard what the bartender said all understood the kind intention of the bartender.

And they also know that Hanging Head would rather not engage with person who could not pay.

If the person could not pay they have to take drastic measures and while they do not flinch from doing it, it is bad for business

In the past Azief would not be able to discern such thing.

If it was in the past, he truly would think that the bartender was just trying to provoke him and pushes him away.

But maybe after the experience he had in the world projections, he could better feel the feelings of others.

Evened though he could hear the voice of the bartender like he was looking down on him, he could feel the true emotion of this person.

He wanted to discourage him so that he could be safe.

Azief smiles a weird smile.

He did not think that such a fierce looking bartender had such a soft heart. If this was any other day, Azief would not insist.

But right now, he truly wanted information.

Azief could tell that the reason why the bartender hesitated is because of him and his granddaughter. At least that is how it looks like to the people in the tavern

Azief shake his head and then he said

\'I could pay it\' the bartender face become ugly. He then sighed and lean closer to him and said

\'Old man. It is better that you leave this place. This place does not take kindly to newcomers.\' Then leaning closer he whispers

\'This place is dangerous, old man. It is better to go to some other information broker. Their information might not be as extensive or as detailed, but at least you would save your life\'

\'If you could not pay the price, these people would not hesitate to grab your grandchildren and sold her\'

\'Even though it is forbidden by the city law, not all people would listen to the city lord\' he whispers.

Hearing all of this Azief nods.

The bartender probably thought that Azief was nodding for his suggestion. Instead, the reason why Azief was nodding is because he now knows something else.

It seems that this pirate city is really different from some other cities of crime he had seen before

Even though some crime is allowed, they did not allow human trafficking. If they did, Azief was thinking of wiping this city out in the future later.

But, hearing that this city is not entirely without its own merit Azief was thinking about something else.

But it seems that while the city itself did not engage in human trafficking, the same could not be said for the other establishment in the city

But Azief also knows that not everyone could monitor this one hundred percent. And to expect city of criminals to uphold certain moral standard is quite hypocritical

Hanging Head is a tavern that also engage in human trafficking?

He did not know that. Though, after his many experiences it is better to thoroughly investigated such things before making his judgement, he thought to himself

The bartender looks at the old man nodding and he thinks that the old man has understood what he was trying to say

He shoos them both with the gesture of his hand

But Azief still did not move. And it did not appear like he had any intention to leave. Azief look at that bartender and then said

\'I understand your kindness but I still want to buy information\' he said and this time the bartender frowned.

\'This old man….does he not understand what I am saying?\' the bartender thought to himself. He then shakes his head and then said

\'Old man. I already warned you. Don\'t blame me whatever happens later\' The bartender could try to help but the tavern also had to make business.

Since the old man is insistent, then it is also hard for him to keep trying to persuade him out of this

To the bartender, the old man is like some gambler that he knows.

They all know that they couldn\'t pay their tabs, but still play thinking that they would get lucky only to get their hands chopped or to become a slave of the tavern

\'I would not blame you\'

The bartender throws the glass that he had been polishing with a towel to one of the bartender on the other side of the counter.

He then walks toward a black room just beside the counter.
