13 Ch 13 : The problem in the Holzberg Merchant Group.

I am Rich Second Generation in One Piece Ch 13

Later that day -

After capturing the Pirate group, Seth didn't immediately kill them. He asked his subordinate to do some interrogation on the pirate group first. Only when he made sure that there were no hidden threats behind the pirate group, he secretly asked some secret personnel to dispose of them.

It might be cruel, but in this world where the strong reign and the weak suffer, Seth knew that he must adapt his mentality, or else he would always be shackled and could not fully bloom.

Finishing the business with the Pirate Group, Seth left for the island base of his parent's merchant group.

The main base of Seth's family was actually not in Alabasta. While it was near, it still took almost a day of journey to reach here from Alabasta. The only reason that Seth usually stayed in Alabasta before was only because his predecessor was too infatuated with Vivi.

After some interrogation, Seth got to know that the pirate group attacking his merchant ship was purely accidental. It was a small stupid prate group with small bounties, and it also explained why they didn't seem to recognize the strength of Seth's family.

' By the way, isn't it been a while since I received my last choices?' While he was walking back to his home, Seth secretly contacted the system.

[ Well, you couldn't blame me, host. It's just the host has not really interacted with the main cast of the story.]

[ As the system said before, the choices would only be given when the host met the main cast of the story. By meeting the main cast, or people who influenced the original story, the host could continuously grow by using the system's choices.]

Seth nodded at this explanation. To make it simpler, if Seth wanted to grow by relying on the system, he had no other choice but to interfere with the main characters of the story. It seems that after this, he must prepare some times to go to the East Blue as most of the main characters are there.

But as always, trouble never ends.

Just when Seth arrived at his parents' office, he was greeted by the sight of his parents with a huge stack of documents on their tables. Of course, if it was just this, nothing would really trouble Seth as this was also the usual case. But for some reason, his parents now had that frown on their faces.

"Seth, what are you doing here? Is there anything troubling you, my dear?" Seth's mother asked Seth directly as soon as he came in.

"It's okay mother. I'm all good. Rather, what happened just now? You two don't seem to look good?" Seth shook his head as he threw back the question to his mother.

For this, Seth's mother could only smile awkwardly. If she could, she wanted to hide the bad side of their business from Seth. But Seth's father didn't seem to share the same opinion.

Seth is a man, and in the future, he would take over their business. Therefore, it would be good to introduce the reality to Seth first.

" My son, it is about our business. Those cursed merchants, they are trying to steal our business and harm our position. But there's no need to worry, our merchant group has stood tall from your grandfather's era, and there's no way they could shake us off in this little time. However…."

" However what?" Seth narrowed his eyes. If his father said things like this, then the condition might be a lot direr than he thought.

" *Sigh* It's nothing. It just that I felt there is a Mastermind behind this, and our true enemy is the mastermind."

Obviously, Seth was shocked when he heard the words of his father. Worthy of an experienced merchant, they could easily see the truth of these events in just a few days. Nonetheless, if he could Seth didn't really want to bring his parents into this matter.

The matter with Crocodile was purely his predecessor's fault, and as someone who had taken over his body, Seth felt it was his duty to solve this problem. It seems that he needs to fasten the way he is doing things.

Discussing a few things with his parents, Seth eventually said his goodbye. Right now was not the right time to stay idle. He needed to get strong as soon as possible.

In this world, only having money was not enough. You should also have the strength to protect what you care about.

Based on the system in the original, where Seth didn't take over his predecessor, the situation of his parents was a lot worse. It was a situation where other than some connection, they didn't really have any big collaborations with Marine. It was already good that now Crocodile only sent a few merchant groups to harass their business. In the Original, he came directly and sunk a few ships of the Holzberg merchant group while the main member was kidnapped and killed by the Baroque Work agent.

That situation was the complete opposite of today where with his enhanced item, Seth was able to secure the deal with the Marine. This way, Crocodile wouldn't dare to oppose him directly, and it should secure some time for Seth's family to breathe. Furthermore, he had broken his engagement with Vivi, and all Crocoidle currently did was some harassment to ensure that the Holzberg family would not join in for trouble.

As Seth was leaving, he made an order to the aid on his side.

" By the way, please contact some of the secret agencies for me. I have some issues I wanted them to handle for me."

To be honest, he didn't really want to do this as this might give him some problems on a later day. However, it seemed that he had no other choice this time. Crocodile needed to be dealt with as soon as possible; Rather than waiting for his opponent to make a move, Seth would choose to deal the first strike whole the opponent was caught unaware.
