Chapter XXIII Requested

"You're right, I did ask you before, but now you have a request for me." William crushed hard under his feet, still smiling on his face.

In the final analysis, William's previous Denton Pirates are no longer in the stream, and begging for a living on the sea is also a high-risk profession with your head pinned to your trouser belt, a naval battle with shells flying sideways and bullets firing indiscriminately, these are not things that Tony, a gangster leader who only gangsters who only fight on the shore, can meet, in terms of the degree of threat, William didn't take Tony's gang of hooligans to heart from beginning to end, so no matter what Tony's attitude was, he didn't change color from the beginning.

"What?" Tony asked through gritted teeth.

William kicked away the pistol, lifted Tony with one hand, and said, "Now, you need to beg me to let you live!" ”

"You're dreaming!" Tony has a bit of a thug's brave and fierce momentum, and he still wants to fight back at this time, he doesn't know where to conjure a dagger and take the opportunity to stab William.

The result was predictable, as William snatched the dagger from him and then grabbed him by the neck and slammed him against the tree behind him.

William used great force to shake the thick tree that the two of them hugged together, and Tony sat down under the tree.

A few fallen leaves fell on Tony's head, and William patted it gently for him like an old friend: "Now your life is in my hands, so you have a request for me, then we should be able to have a good conversation." ”

"If you have the guts, you can do it!" Tony glared at William.

William frowned a little confused: "People like you, why do you shout so much whenever your life falls into the hands of others?" Do you think I'm just like you, a little thug who only talks about threats, so I don't dare to kill? ”

After he finished speaking, he didn't wait for Tony to respond, he turned his head directly and said to Ah Jin who was not far away, "Kill that person named Manny." ”

Without saying a word, Ah Jin pulled Manny's body over and pressed him to the ground.

Manny was about to scream, but his big pincer-like hand held down his mouth, shoving his screams back into his stomach.

Ah Jin pressed Manny on one knee, and in Tony's frightened gaze, the cold light of the knife was directly sent into Manny's back into his body, and slowly deepened little by little.

Manny burst into tears, quickly turning from struggle to convulsions, while Tony looked in a cold sweat, especially with Akin's habitual indifference, which made people think he was murderous.

Tony said in a trembling voice, "Stop, stop!" ”

Ah Jin didn't stop, until William then said to stop him, he stopped, pulled out the knife, the blood gushing out of the wound quickly wet the ground beneath him, Manny gasped lowly, already out of breath and inlet in less.

Tony's face was as pale as paper, sweat was like rain, and Edmund's complexion was not very good-looking, only William, Akin, Aramis and others did not change their faces, and even the always honest Wallon did not blink his eyes from beginning to end.

After all, Edmund was just a self-proclaimed pirate, while William and the four of them were fake pirates.

"He's dying," William withdrew his gaze from Manny, took out a handkerchief to wipe Tony's cold sweat, and said slowly, "He's dead, it's your turn to be your other subordinate, and then it's your turn, so your time is running out." ”

Tony said abruptly, "What the hell do you want to do?" ”

At this time, Aramis picked the hair of Anji, who had passed out, and directly dragged the other party's body to William, and said with a big grin: "Don't talk so much nonsense with him, these wastes are so weak, let's kill them first, and then rush to Red Leaf Village overnight, kill those minions and leaders, and directly control his gang, a group of gangsters who bully the soft and fear the hard still dare to rebel?" ”

"Don't kill me!" Tony hurriedly said, "My uncle is the village chief, you can't hide it from you if you kill me, and it's impossible to control my power in Red Leaf Village." ”

William waved his hand at Aramis to drive away the deliberately scaring guy before he said to Tony, "Don't worry, if you are willing to cooperate, I will not make such a decision." ”

"I cooperate, I cooperate." Tony's chick nodded like a peck of rice.

"Help him stop the bleeding!" William turned his head and shouted to Ah Jin, and then said to Tony: "Don't worry, I do have a profitable business with you this time, but what I want to rely on is your relationship with your uncle and ...... local connections." ”

William casually fiddled with Tony's dagger that he had taken away, and smiled disdainfully: "...... Not your boy scouts who are just for playing with toys. ”

He pulled a pack of cigarettes out of Tony's upper pocket, lit one for Tony, and asked, "Do you know how to read?" Do you usually read the newspaper? ”

Tony's face was still a little pale, and he nodded and then shook his head.

William took out several newspapers from his bosom and gave them to him, on which he circled many news contents or headlines in red marker:

"Wise or stupid? Norton I threatens to ban alcohol! ”

“…… If this news is true, then there will be no place for the Kingdom of Navia to drink openly again. ”

"The Chancellor of the Exchequer gives a speech – 'Alcohol is the root of crime!' ”

……

William reckoned that Tony might not be able to see it, so he explained to him: "King Norton I of the Kingdom of Navia is said to have hated alcohol since he was a child. ”

William pointed to a newspaper with a red circle, which was an introduction to the Kingdom of Navia and King Norton I: "He also never drank alcohol, and since his accession to the throne he has imposed heavy taxes on the sale of alcohol, and now he finally wants to eradicate alcohol from his kingdom completely." ”

Smiling, he continued: "Of course, unlike this kind of being raised in a palace, thinking that he is, and should be, a fool at the center of the universe since he was a child, I think both you and I should know that he can't ban wine, and he will only make the price of wine increase tenfold or more, and he can't collect taxes." ”

Tony also had some brains, and William understood what he said, so he quickly said, "You want to smuggle alcohol to the Kingdom of Navia?" ”

Tony's mind turned, this is indeed not a profitable business, but there is also a large threshold: "I'm afraid it's not easy." ”

"Of course, if it's that easy, I'll do it alone, why bother with you?" William patted Tony's shoulder with a smile, stared into his eyes and said, "Since you agreed to cooperate with me, what advice do you have for our upcoming business projects?" ”

Tony glanced at William's unsmiling eyes, then at the two miserable subordinates, gritted his teeth, and said as if he had made up his mind: "I think I should bring another person in." ”
