Chapter 20 Compensation
"Mr. Duke, I didn't expect to meet again so soon!"
Charlie smiled and greeted Duke, followed by Jeffrey.
"Please take a seat."
Both parties took their seats.
Charlie didn’t do ink, so he got straight to the point and said:
"You were attacked at the Bloody Hand Club last time. You used the noble defense ring and almost died... The Bloody Hand Club has an unshirkable responsibility! And the leader of the Bloody Hand Club, Mr. Cotton, is also very sorry for this. He
I wanted to apologize in person, but he suffered some injuries and is still receiving treatment in the hospital, so he entrusted us to express his most sincere apology to you."
After Charlie finished speaking, he handed over a small notebook with a sun logo printed on it and a black card.
If Duke remembers correctly, the black card should be the membership card of the Bloody Hand Club. This thing is of no use to him.
And this small notebook should be an account at Shuguang Bank? He also has an account, and it is a VIP account, although there is not a penny in it.
Duke was not polite and opened it directly.
But after seeing the numbers above, Duke was still a little surprised.
Good guy, three hundred thousand Dawn Coins!
Duke has never seen so much money since he came to Dawn City!
He tried his best to look natural, but Charlie had been a police officer for so many years, and his eyes were very evil. Although Duke hid it well, he could still see it in Duke's fleeting eyes.
A hint of satisfaction.
This immediately made Charlie feel relieved.
In this "nobles were attacked" incident, the main difficulty was this noble. As long as the nobles were dealt with, everything else would not be a problem.
For this reason, Charlie also spent a lot of effort - these 300,000 Dawn Coins were not something Cotton came up with willingly.
After all, Kirton suffered heavy losses this time. Most of the Bloody Hand Club alone was destroyed, and the Deathclaw corpses were snatched away. In addition, the other party raided and many customers were injured and killed. He had to pay a large amount of compensation. Keton
There was no money left in Dun's hand.
Cotton also knew that Duke, a nobleman, would definitely lose money, but the most he could afford was one hundred thousand dollars, because he only had so much in his hands.
But Charlie felt that one hundred thousand dollars was too little, and Duke might not necessarily like it. After all, he was also a viscount of the Elvis family, and even if he was not popular, one hundred thousand dollars could not be spent.
So Charlie explained the stakes to Cotton, and Cotton had no choice but to bite the bullet and borrow money from relatives and friends, and even borrowed some loan sharks, and managed to scrape together 200,000 yuan.
Only then did Charlie take his bankbook and leave with satisfaction.
It's not that he and Cotton have a good relationship, it's mainly that the best way to solve the problem is to turn big things into trivial ones.
If a Viscount of the Elvis family is dissatisfied with their handling opinions, his superiors will definitely put a lot of pressure on him.
After all, it's for yourself.
Duke didn't know these twists and turns. Anyway, for him, having these three hundred thousand yuan solved his urgent need.
Of course, Duke doesn't think he is a generous person. This money is only to compensate him for the mental damage caused by the attack at the Bloody Hand Club, and the shot that Cotton shot at him is not included.
Charlie also wisely did not mention this matter. It would be best if Duke did not pursue it. If Duke pursues it, then he is trying to reconcile it. After all, the Bloody Hand Club also paid a lot of taxes. If it is really impossible to reconcile, what should we do?
What to do, it’s not him who is unlucky anyway.
"As for the cybernetic David who attacked you, he is wanted by the Metropolitan Police Department throughout the city. If we catch him, we will notify you as soon as possible."
Charlie handed over a wanted warrant.
Duke took it. In addition to David's portrait, there was also an introduction to David and his wanted level.
"...Samsung wanted, with a reward of 100,000 Dawn Coins."
In the City of Dawn, the Metropolitan Police Department's wanted orders generally have five levels, with one star being the lowest and five stars being the highest.
If there is an attack on a noble, regardless of whether the noble is injured or dead, the attacker will immediately receive a three-star wanted order. After the person is caught, the Metropolitan Police will also notify the noble involved, and the result will be based on the noble's opinion. This is one of the privileges of the noble.
one.
As for the amount of the reward, there is no fixed standard. It all depends on how much the Metropolitan Police Department is willing to pay. However, generally speaking, the higher the wanted star level, the greater the reward.
There is a saying that Duke is a little tempted by this reward of 100,000 yuan.
After all, he still had some impression of where David was hiding, and he believed that he would definitely recognize him if he appeared nearby.
But Duke quickly shook his head. He was just a weakling now and there was no need to get involved in such a thing.
It's better to leave professional matters to professionals. This one hundred thousand yuan will definitely make many bounty hunters flock to it.
"Then I'll trouble you."
Duke smiled and thanked.
"Nowhere, this is our responsibility! We will not let any bad guy go!"
Charlie said righteously.
The young police officer Jeffrey behind him puffed up his chest. He was obviously very proud of his profession.
Charlie and the two didn't stay long. After bringing the message, they left quickly.
As police officers of the Metropolitan Police Department, they rarely have any rest time. Moreover, a three-star wanted criminal appeared in other places last night, and he had to rush over to deal with it.
After watching the two people leave, Duke handed the bankbook to Alyssa.
"Alyssa, please transfer the money to my account later."
"Okay, Master."
Duke touched the ring on his hand and fell into thinking.
This matter is probably over here.
Although overall, he was still a little unhappy, such as Cotton shot him, David hadn't caught him yet, etc.
But life is like this, everything can't be perfect, and he won't suffer any loss.
After all, I got 300,000 Dawn coins and a nuclear fusion battery that I don’t know how to use yet.
Not a loss!
Duke comforted himself like this.
night.
After dinner, Duke flipped through the "Dawn City Encyclopedia", which is a magazine that is updated every month. Although it is not officially published, the information in it is very rigorous, and the audience in Shuguang City
Very wide.
Duke wanted to research and see if there was any way to make money.
Now that we have 300,000 Dawn Coins, after excluding the cost of hiring awakeners, there will probably be a lot left over, which we can use to test the waters.
Dong dong dong——
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door downstairs, which seemed particularly clear in this silent night.
Duke quietly looked down from the window and was stunned.
Downstairs, I saw a naked, scarred red-haired man kneeling at the gate and shivering. Behind him, stood a thin man.
