Chapter XXIX: Negotiations
The special specialty of [Lightning Reflex] actually provides more of William's potential, William's reaction speed is very fast now, but it is not as fast as a bullet, not to mention that even if his reaction has been trained faster than a bullet, it also takes enough time to train his body to make a speed comparable to that of a bullet. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
But who says you have to be faster than a bullet to dodge?
From the pirate leader's finger pulling the trigger, to the spring driving the flint, until the flint striking the fire door causing the spark to ignite the gunpowder, it was enough time for William to dodge.
Time seemed to stand still, and the pirate leader seemed to slowly hook his fingers in slow motion, while William's pupils changed slightly, and after observing the direction of the muzzle, he tilted his head in a small range.
Time soon returned to normal.
Boom!
Syllable!
The first was the sound of a bullet popping out of the chamber, and the second was the crunch of a bullet missing, passing William's ear and hitting the wooden wall.
William wasn't faster than a bullet, but Sherlock, the pirate leader, and the pirate minions, they couldn't tell the difference at all, and in their eyes, William's reaction seemed to be faster than a bullet!
Sherlock's mouth opened in surprise, and the pirate leader's eyes widened in horror, and William had already strode up to the latter.
William's feet made a series of muffled noises against the wooden floor, and the contrast was immense force.
The scimitar easily sliced through the pirate leader's fragile skin and muscles, passing through his left chest until it came out.
William's footsteps still didn't stop, and the pirate leader who was screaming continued to advance, and finally let out a low shout, and with a single force, he directly nailed the pirate leader's feet off the ground to the wall!
"Wait a minute, don't kill him!" Only then did Sherlock cry out weakly.
William's hands were released from the handle of the knife, and his gaze shifted from the already dead pirate leader to Sherlock's, and he smiled lightly, but his face was stained with some blood, and it was really uneasy to be in this Shura-like room: "You said it too slowly. ”
Sherlock smiled wryly: "It's you who shot too fast." ”
He stretched out his hand again, "I'm Sherlock." ”
"William, first meeting." William also reached out and shook Sherlock gently.
"Impressed." Sherlock glanced at the corpses lying in the room and said slowly.
William's shot can be said to be very fast, and several pirates didn't even have time to threaten Sherlock as a hostage, so they went to Huangquan Road to be a companion and become pirates again.
William walked to the corpse of the pirate cadre with a potholed face, and said at the same time: "I think this should be exactly what you expected, just having money, in this sea is just a piece of fat that everyone can come to take a bite of, you called me, don't you just want to see if I am as powerful as Tony said, can I escort the future business?" ”
"So, do you agree to work with me now?" As William spoke, he bent down to pick up a flintlock pistol from the waist of the corpse of the pirate cadre, which the other party had just had no time to use.
When he checked whether the pistol was loaded, he suddenly smelled a foul smell in his nose, and his eyes swept away, only to realize that it was from under the crotch of the pirate who had been robbed of the knife by him.
This man is trying to pretend to be dead, although he was thrown by William at the beginning, but he also avoided the bad luck of being harvested by death, but unfortunately when he secretly caught a glimpse of William fiddling with the pistol, he thought that he had been discovered, William's previous neat murderous swordsmanship, and the ability to dodge bullets in his eyes had scared his guts, at this time, his body was shaking like chaff, and his lower body was hot, and he actually peed his pants.
William kicked him lightly with his foot, and said lightly: "If you don't want to die, go and hold the gate for me." ”
On the other side, Sherlock tugged at the corners of his mouth: "I think, since you really dare to come to the appointment alone with your bare hands, as you said on the phone, and now that we are both alive, your problem is self-explanatory." ”
The sound of gunfire in the captain's room had already alarmed the other pirates, and the footsteps on the deck and in the aisles of the cabin were gradually coming from far and near, but William didn't pay much attention, and when the frightened pirate got up honestly and stood up against the door, he was already in front of the only small window in the house.
Under the somewhat incomprehensible gaze of Sherlock and the pirates, William smashed the window, then raised his pistol and fired a random shot outside.
The sound of gunfire like popping beans was heard far away in the open sea, William casually threw the flintlock pistol with empty bullets on the table, and then smiled at Sherlock: "Okay, the matter will be solved immediately, it will be a waste of your time and mine, since we have reached a cooperation intention, let's just start talking about the next business now, especially the most critical point - who will lead the business." ”
"Here?" Sherlock took out a perfumed handkerchief and covered his nose, frowning in disgust.
"Why not?" William smiled disapprovingly, he was going to negotiate in this room filled with the smell of blood!
Business negotiation is an all-encompassing battlefield, and the strength in the business field is never just about money, but also needs other forces to escort it.
In a peaceful and stable society, this force mostly refers to the government and official forces, providing policy tilt and support, and will not make the investment money go down the drain for some inexplicable reason.
In this troubled era, it not only refers to official and government authority, but also includes real force that can deter and resist pirates and robbers from all walks of life.
William's negotiation here is equivalent to finding an office full of photos of government leaders' visits in his previous life, and the dead body hanging on the wall can declare his strength more than anything else.
Since the gunshots had just been fired, the noise outside had become louder, and there were faint shouts of killing coming in through the broken windows.
"Okay," Sherlock was very bold, but this was for business matters, he was not like William who used to lick blood with a knife, so he could only resist the discomfort, covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief, covered some fishy smell, and said sullenly: "Your idea is very good, but from the transportation of goods to the local sales, these most critical and dangerous links are borne by me, and it is not easy to build a sales network from scratch, so the dominance ......." ”
Before Sherlock could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the sound of shouts from a short distance away, as if it were coming from outside the door, which made him look at the door with some surprise.
