Chapter 30 Dominant

The shouts of killing came and went as fast as they came, and soon disappeared, and after a while, there was a soft knock on the door outside the captain's room.

The pirate minion at the door looked at William with a pale face, and the smile on the latter's face widened, first at the startled Sherlock, and then at the pirate minion to let him dodge.

"Come in!" William said loudly to the door.

The door to the captain's cabin was opened from the outside, and a slick head with a lot of blood poked out from behind, and after taking a look at the environment inside the room, he walked in with confidence.

This man was naturally Wallon, and he had a lot of blood on his head, but there was no visible injury on his body, and it was obvious that the blood was not his own.

"Are all the enemies out there?" asked William.

Wallon wiped the blood on his head casually, and replied, "It should all be settled, Akin, Aramis and Edmund are checking the cabin one by one to see if there are any fish that have slipped through the net." ”

William nodded, then looked at Sherlock, who pursed his lips tightly, and said: "Sales in the local area is the most dangerous link? How dangerous is it? Being caught and extorted by local officials? You and I both know that after we cooperate, it will definitely be my people who will watch the ship to protect the goods, and we will face murderous murderers at sea, and the most dangerous link is actually me and my people are responsible." ”

"Mr. Sherlock, although my companion and I are not from a more prominent background than you, our lives are not so lowly," William put his hands on the desk, leaned forward, stared at the sitting Sherlock condescendingly, and said word by word, "You only pay, and we pay our lives!" So, of course, I have the final say on this business!"

William straightened up again: "What's more, we will not only give our lives, but also pay, and you, unless you ask your father for help, you can't find anyone qualified to cooperate with you in a short time, if you are not satisfied, you can also not cooperate with me, but I still have to advise ......." ”

He said in an unpredictable tone: "There are only ships and goods, and on this sea, for powerful people, it is just a transport team to help people keep the goods,"

After William finished speaking, the room suddenly fell silent, Wallon looked at William with some concern, and then looked at Sherlock who was deep in thought, and some worried that Sherlock was young and vigorous, and would be angered by William's faintly threatening words.

After a while, Sherlock thought about it, but only blinked and said, "Outlaw? ”

Sherlock stood up: "The higher the risk, the greater the return, I like bold people, dare to do business that ordinary people dare not do, so that you can make more money that ordinary people can't imagine, you want to lead? But I'm a businessman, I want profits, can you satisfy me?"

The two hands were clenched together again, one with thick joints and calluses, and the other slender and slender.

"No problem. ”

……

Ah Jin and the others have always been hiding in the small wooden boat that William is riding, and William first kicked the guard of the boat lightly to remind a few people hiding in the dark cabin of the boat, and then pay attention to his signals.

When the other pirates were attracted by William and the Captain's room, they undisguised themselves and killed the merchant ship.

Because Sherlock was incapable of protecting himself, it was not until Akin came to the captain's room to report that he had cleaned up all the pirates on the ship that William escorted Sherlock to the deck of the ship.

After the few people left, Alamis, who was left alone, smiled at the pirate who was lucky to be alive, and after a while, everyone who took a few steps ahead heard a scream from the captain's room.

Ah Jin turned his head to look at Aramis who had walked out of the room and rejoined the group, who shrugged his shoulders disapprerovingly: "It just broke his two hands." ”

William and Sherlock were chatting, and he asked Sherlock, "Listen to you so, this kidnapping was premeditated, so it seems that I should really spare the leader's life, do you need my help?"

"No, I don't have to ask, I can more or less guess who did it," Sherlock shook his head.

"Could it be a grudge against a wealthy family?" William glanced at his expression, "I don't really understand the intrigue between you big families. ”

"My family is really rich, but only two generations, my great-grandfather was just an apprentice in a grocery store, and only a small shop of his own came to my grandfather, which is a wealthy family," Sherlock smiled, "but every family inevitably has one or two relatives who are not successful, their horizons are too small, they can only see a little thing in front of the tip of their nose, and they are not able to develop some business of their own, so it is inevitable that they only care about staring at the little property of the family, probably because they are afraid that they will starve to death in the future." ”

"When you make a fortune in the future, it is estimated that there will be such relatives around you," Sherlock teased, "but I think with your character, you will press him to death with your backhand, and I will be a little worse, after all, I am just a businessman, not as happy as you." ”

As a pampered rich and noble son, Sherlock, who had just experienced a series of events that could make ordinary people tremble, was already like a nobody at this time, at least William could not see the slightest haze on his face.

Just as Sherlock looked up at William from the time he got on the ship alone to the series of events from his rescue, William also admired Sherlock from his kidnapping to his current smile.

The group sailed back to Momiji Village, and after Sherlock had comforted the crew of the merchant ship and let them leave on their own, he went to a banquet just for him with Tony.

Speaking of a banquet, in fact, there were only a few people, Tony, his uncle the village chief, Sherlock, William, Akin, Alamis, Wallon, and Edmund occupied the second floor of the tavern, drinking and eating, and talking about the future of smuggling alcohol.

Edmund was still skeptical about the success of the business of smuggling liquor, and he asked, "Is it possible that anyone will buy the wine that was originally only a few hundred baileys, but if it is sold for thousands, or even tens of thousands?"

Without waiting for William to answer, Tony's uncle, Omar, the head of Momiji Village, grinned, "How could no one buy it?"

He raised the glass in his hand and smiled a little treacherously: "Those men who have been tired for several days will be willing to pay for this glass of wine when they are resting." ”

Edmund was not accustomed to his virtue, and did not respond to him, turning to talk to Wallon in a low voice.

Since he became literate, Wallon has loved to read, more precisely, he loves to read adventure novels, and the seemingly honest Wallon also has a sullen heart in his heart, but he also yearns for the magnificent story of the protagonist of adventure novels, which can be said to coincide with Edmund.

The two innocent youths of William's gang soon got very close, but this made Aramis unhappy, he liked to bully and laugh at Wallon, but when Wallon and Edmund got into a fight, he became jealous again.

William didn't bother to care about these three teases, and he suggested to Sherlock: "If you can, I suggest you register some pharmacies at the local sales point first, we only make alcohol in Momiji Village, and then ship it to these pharmacies, even if it is seized by local officials, so there is a saying, you can use medical alcohol to prevaricate." ”

The method of using a pharmacy as a disguise to sell alcohol and beverages without permission is something that William borrowed from the Americans in his previous life, and the protagonist of the novel "The Great Gatsby" actually does just that.

"Isn't that going to taste like that?" asked Tony.

"The low-end market is the big one," Sherlock wiped his mouth, "and it also saves on shipping, and the high-end finished wine can be shipped over and sold directly, and it might as well be used to bribe local officials, and Prohibition is a really good thing, so we can save a lot of money even on bribes." ”
