Chapter Thirty-Eight: Killing Machine (II)

The boat that Edmund and Oliver took finally arrived at the dock of Momiji Village safe and sound. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Oliver, who consciously grasped a chance to get ahead, didn't believe anyone, and he didn't let go when he saw Tony's men, and asked to take Edmund to see William in person, Tony's men had no choice but to bring Oliver and Edmund to William and Tony.

William was wandering around Momiji Village at the time, and Edmund and Wallon's cargo ship didn't arrive at the dock at the appointed time, so he felt that something was wrong, so he waited for news at Tony's tavern.

As soon as Edmund saw William, his worried and anxious mood suddenly relaxed a lot after many days, his eyes were hot, and he actually shed tears: "William, our ship has been robbed by the Redbeard Pirates. ”

William and Tony's faces changed when they heard this.

Tony hurriedly asked, "Where's the goods?" ”

William asked in a deep voice, "How are the people?" ”

Oliver on the side first looked at Tony, then at William, and then lowered his head, he didn't understand the pattern between "asking the goods first and then asking the people" and "asking the people first and then the goods", but the latter undoubtedly made people like him who had worked for William sound more comfortable.

Edmund ignored Tony, but said to William with red eyes: "Everyone on the ship should have been killed, Wallon ......, Wallon he was also killed!" ”

Tony was already panicking when he heard about the "Redbeard Pirates", and when he heard that the crew had been killed, even Wallon was dead, he was even more panicked, muttering to himself, "What can I do?" ”

William, on the other hand, was calm, and he pursed his lips to stop Edmund, who was about to say something, and asked Angie to find a few of his men to take the frail Edmund to the doctor.

After the group helped Edmund away, William took out his wallet from his coat pocket, took out Tony's wallet as well, took out all the money inside, and gently put it in Oliver's hand.

"Oliver, is it? I remember you. This time I owe you a personal favor, don't have too little money, you take it first, take it around the village, stay here for the time being at night, and ...... tomorrow. ”

Before William could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Oliver: "Sir, I don't need money, I just want a chance." ”

Oliver said, pushing William's hand back.

William was stunned, but still put the money in his hand: "This money has nothing to do with you saving Edmond...... have you ever read a book?" ”

Oliver actually coveted the money, so he didn't shirk it, and after hearing William's question later, he shook his head a little embarrassed.

"Then can you endure hardship?" William continued.

Oliver nodded busily: "I grew up alone, I supported myself, and I was never afraid of hardship, Mr. William." ”

"Okay," William waved his hand to Manny, and then said to Oliver, "From today onwards, you will live here, I will ask Manny to arrange for a teacher to teach you to read, and send you to the dojo to learn swords, I will be responsible for your weekday tuition and living expenses, and when you become a talent in the future, you can help me do things, if you want to go outside to find opportunities, I will not obstruct it, do you agree?" ”

Oliver nodded excitedly, and when William saw this, he carefully admonished Manny in front of him, making him grateful, and then followed Manny away.

After the outsiders left, William's face gradually turned pale, glanced at the depressed Tony, and took out the phone bug to inform Ah Jin and Aramis who were far away in Frostmoon Village.

……

In one of the best clinics in Momiji Village, when he was alone, William asked Edmund to tell the story as it was.

Edmund did not shirk his responsibilities and did not hide the stupid things he had done.

William was like a brother to him, and when there was no outsider, when he said that he had killed Wallon, Edmund's face was so remorseful and painful that he almost cried again.

William comforted Edmund and told him to recuperate from his wounds, and waited for Edmund to fall asleep after taking the medicine before leaving the room.

"Edmund, bastard!"

Outside the ward where Edmund was resting, Ah Jin and Aramis, who had arrived, heard what happened in detail from William, and Aramis scolded with red eyes and was about to rush into the ward.

William grabbed him and dragged him out of the clinic.

"Do you want Edmund to die too?"

"He killed Wallon!" Aramis exclaimed, his face contorted.

"Shut up!" William stared into his eyes and said word by word, "I'll just say it once, it was the Redbeard Pirates who killed Wallon!" ”

Enraged, Aramis and William looked at each other for a moment, then turned their heads, drew their knives, and screamed and slashed at a small tree in front of the clinic.

"What did Sherlock say?" Ah Jin on the side said astringently.

When his companion who went to sea together and learned swords together was killed, Ah Jin was not much better than Alamis, but he was more mature than Alamis, so that he would not be burned through his reason by anger.

To put it mildly, from the day they chose to be pirates, they had expected this day, the real pirate life is not as good as in fairy tales, just like spirits, mellow and bitter, between the real pirates, there are both laughter and sadness.

"I just contacted Sherlock, and I found out that his father was arrested and interrogated in the name of 'tax evasion' before, Sherlock originally thought it was because of other reasons, so he didn't tell us, he is the same as Edmund, although he looks more easy-going than Edmund, but he is still too proud in his bones," William bought a pack of cigarettes on the way to the clinic, lit one, and exhaled, then said slowly, "Now look at what Edmond said, they were tracked down, and Sherlock's father was arrested, It is believed that this attack is not only involving pirates, but also the navy and the official forces of the Kingdom of Navia. ”

Ah Jin's face was gloomy, although he was steady, but in the end he was still a young man, he had not suffered too many setbacks, this year the smuggling business was thriving under the leadership of William, his wallet was bulging, and he was often hugged when he walked on the dock on weekdays, which can be said to be infinitely beautiful.

But now, it was taken as a blow to the head, directly shattering the dream, the Kingdom of Navia is a member of the world government, and the navy directly represents the will of the world government.

The vast majority of industry practitioners are actually distributed in a pyramid hierarchy, and there are some people who have stepped into the top level of the industry and have unlimited scenery, but under this rare group of people at the top of the pyramid, they are often hundreds of times the number of thousands of times, or even 10,000 times the bottom and middle level, and it is not realistic to take them and a group of people at the top.

William, although they are not as precarious as the pirates at the bottom, there is no tomorrow today, but they are far from the level of those pirates at the top of the pyramid, and they can ignore the navy and the world government at will.

"So what do we do next?" Ah Jin asked.

But compared to the depression of young people such as Ah Jin, William is a mature traverser who has experienced a lot of winds and waves in his previous life.

He was silent for a moment, and then directly crumpled the cigarette that was still burning into a ball, with murderous intent on his face, and there was no cowardice in his voice, nor did he flinch: "Find out all the masterminds involved, and then cut them one by one to avenge Wallon!" ”

――――――

"Victory and defeat have to be tasted, after experiencing the bitterness of fleeing everywhere, painful and sad memories, a man can really be alone, even if he cries bitterly, it doesn't matter, he must pass this hurdle."
