Chapter 234: Death Threats

Laura Louise sat nervously in her office chair and decided to put together the interview in order to ease her mind. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

William's previous life, American journalist John Brady once said that for every minute of an interview, an experienced reporter should prepare for at least ten minutes.

Laura Louise was the same before this trip, if it was just a mechanical Q&A, it would not be possible to make a good interview, although Laura Louise was going to meet William in person for the first time today, but she had already collected a lot of information and rumors about William.

William may not know anything about Laura Louise, but Laura Louise is already familiar with William, and she has compiled a lot of information, all in order to avoid awkward situations during the exchange between the two parties, or to anger William.

Laura Louise once again knew William only hearsay, although William was said to be amiable, but she was not sure if this statement was spread by someone else, she had seen those nobles of the kingdom before, or the style of the powerful people, many people thought that the superior must be broad-minded, but Louise knew that it was not necessarily.

The door was suddenly pushed open from the outside, and a young man strode in.

Louise quickly got up when she heard the voice, and before she could turn her head, the other party had already come to her behind the desk, took off her suit jacket, handed it to the attendant who followed, and hung it on the hanger.

"Sorry to keep you waiting. William smiled apologetically and said.

Louise sat down at William's motion, and at last she had a chance to take a closer look at the actual ruler of the kingdom of Navia, whose name she had only known, but not seen.

Under the slender eyebrows, there are a pair of sharp blue eyes, the bridge of the nose is straight, the lips are a little thin, and when they are slightly pursed, they give people a sense of perseverance, and the blonde hair is tied behind their heads, and they look extremely young, but they have a confident and mature temperament brought by great power.

"You don't need to apologize, I know you've been busy lately, and I'm grateful to have the time to do an interview with our newspaper. Louise said modestly.

"Yes, it is a man's prerogative to wait for beautiful women, and I should not give up my rights privately. William joked, he also knew that what was written in the mechanical interview would not look good, seeing that Louise was young, he was actually worried that Louise was nervous, so he took the initiative to enliven the atmosphere.

Louise pursed her lips and smiled, "Didn't people say that it was a woman's privilege to make people wait?

"Isn't it a privilege to wait for a beautiful woman to dress herself?" said William, looking intently at Louise.

Louise was a little embarrassed and asked, "What are you looking at?"

"Let's see if you have any makeup, it seems that you have drawn a little?" William frowned suspiciously, "Naturally beautiful, I can't see it." ”

Louise was amused by William's serious look, and the nervousness in her heart disappeared, she had heard countless rumors and stories about William before, some said that he was brave and good at fighting, some said that he was generous, some said that he rewarded and punished well, and some said that he was gentle, but no one said that he was funny.

"Dressing up is not necessarily for a person, maybe it's just for your image when you go out. Louise said casually.

"It's already miserable enough for the others, can't you comfort yourself?" William smiled, "For the sake of your turn to be so miserable, ask any questions." ”

In fact, Louise wanted to ask the most about William's pirates and the truth about the rumors of collusion with the navy, but she finally suppressed this impulse, and only asked about William's contribution and political achievements, such as the textile industry that Kalmar City has gradually developed in recent years, and the country's views on stability.

Before compiling these materials, Louise was actually very surprised, she had seen many countries and cities, but she still did not expect that she would see such rapid development and a peaceful and stable environment in a country ruled by pirates.

This was one of the main reasons why Louise had been in the East China Sea for so long, and as the investigation progressed, the more she learned about William, the more curious she became about the secrets that shrouded him.

……

Cocoa West Village has welcomed a new group of guests.

The ship Aramis was riding anchored in a secluded private harbor outside the village, and then led the people to meet with Zangao and enter the village.

Zangao is one of the few agents who knows Alamis' identity, and he is very respectful of Alamis.

"My lord, why are you leading the team personally?" asked Zangao on the way.

Aramis smiled slightly: "The consul is afraid that the dragon pirates will receive the news and take action against the two villages and towns, both of which will eventually be the territory of the kingdom of Navia, and the inhabitants will also become the subjects under the consul's rule, he does not want too many casualties." ”

William is not too worried about the Dragon Pirates receiving news from the outside world, this group of fishmen is relatively closed to the outside world, and the only contact is basically monopolized by William, except for continuing to suppress and extort villages and towns, and drawing charts, they are not interested in anything else.

William's concern is that the population in Cocoa West Village and Housha Town is not strict, and the news is leaked, causing the dragon pirates to take risks.

"How are the people of Cocoa West Village and Housha Town doing?" asked Aramis.

Zangao thought for a moment and said, "Fidgeting, they are nervous, worried that we are not the opponents of the Evil Dragon Pirates. ”

Aramis tilted his head exaggeratedly, revealing a hint of amusement: "Not an opponent?

"If it weren't for the Archons trying to keep them and spread fear, would they have survived in the East China Sea until now?" Aramis scoffed.

Zangao was silent for a while, and then couldn't help but ask, "Why did Lord Archon keep this group of fishmen, and go to great lengths to plot such a remote village as Kekoyaxi Village?"

"Do you think the villagers of Cocoa West Village are miserable under the rule of Aaron's gang?" asked Aramis rhetorically.

Zangao is silent, the people of Keke Yaxi Village have to pay a high price to buy their lives every month, and if they can't pay it, there is only a dead end, and the most puzzling thing about the Dragon Pirates is that the punishment for those who can't pay the money for buying lives is still a sitting system, that is, if one person can't pay the money, the entire village will be destroyed.

The actions of the Dragon Pirates are not so much blackmail and extortion of the local population, but rather that these racists are simply taking pleasure in killing, looking for an excuse to destroy one village after another before taking over new places.

Everyone has the fear of death, but ordinary people are not like the inhabitants under Aaron's rule, who are tormented by death threats all the time.
