Chapter Sixty-Nine: Old Friends

For a moment, William thought that Barbarossa would make a move, he knew that Barbarossa, who had been hit one after another, had nowhere to vent his anger, but in the end, this strong man, who seemed to have reached the verge of losing his mind, still suppressed his killing intent in the face of the seemingly weak and unruly Alcatio.

The conversation apparently couldn't go any further, and Barbarossa kicked over the tea table and left in a rage, not even paying attention to William and Chloe.

William didn't know why Barbarossa didn't do it, although Alcatio brought a group of guards, but there was a real conflict, even if Barbarossa was injured, the other party might not be able to protect the weak and unruly Alkatio.

William unconsciously left with Barbarossa, which made Arcatiodo look at him twice.

Alcatio looked at Chloe, and when he saw that the latter nodded slightly, he asked William, "Are you Stolter?"

"Yes, sir. William replied honestly.

His attitude made Alcatio show a satisfied expression: "You are a navigator on the ship, then you should have received a good education, the ship is a group of vulgar and disrespectful rough people, you should usually have more contact with people like Chloe who are also educated, somewhat cultivated, and know how to respect and order." ”

Hearing this, William looked at Chloe, who smiled at him covertly while he lowered his head to drink tea.

William turned his head and continued to repeat honestly, "Yes, sir." ”

……

I don't know how many years no one has set foot on a small island, but today it finally welcomes a cargo ship.

Without waiting for the gangplank to be lowered, Aramis jumped off the bow of the boat, landed on the shore, looked around, and then took out a map from his bosom and observed the surrounding scenery.

After the gangplank was lowered, Edmund, Tony, Sherlock and others came to his side, and at the same time, many sailors and workers came down from the cargo ship, busy around the ship.

The few people did not go up to help, they all gathered around the map, discussed for a while, and Edmund and Tony were in charge of opening the way, and Aramis and Sherlock followed the map to guide the way to the island.

The island is quiet, only occasionally a few bird chirps, this island can be selected by Barbarossa as a treasure hiding place, naturally because it is remote enough, the island is strange rocks, overgrown with weeds, very difficult to walk, several people searched for a long time, only in an inconspicuous corner where the sun does not shine, found a hidden path, go down, there is a natural hole in front of you.

In addition to Sherlock, who had lived a prosperous life, Edmond, Aramis and Tony were all a little excited, and what the four of them had found so far could be matched to Barbarossa's logbook.

Tony lit the kerosene lamp he had been carrying, and when he entered the cave first, the road inside was a little narrow, and everyone else followed him, and after walking for a while, Tony suddenly stopped moving, and Edmond behind him pushed him strangely, and Tony came back to his senses and quickly got out of the way.

A natural cave with a large area suddenly appeared in front of everyone, but none of them were in the mood to sigh at the magic of nature.

Heavy wooden boxes were almost piled up in the caves, and some of them were too full to close the lids, so they were left open, revealing the gold coins and gems inside, and under the reflection of the light, it was difficult to take your eyes off.

Sherlock, who was once the only son of the president of the Chamber of Commerce, was the first to come to his senses and pushed Alamis: "Don't be angry, move all these things quickly." ”

"Yes, yes, yes," Tony came back to his senses when he heard this, rubbed his hands, and said excitedly, "These things are ours now!"

"No, these are William's. Sherlock glanced at Tony and said lightly.

Tony was stunned for a moment, and forced a smile: "Of course, but William is not a stingy person, and we have also contributed a lot to this operation, so it is impossible for him to give everyone the benefits." ”

"I know, but before William spoke, these things were all Morgan's last name. Sherlock said.

Edmund was already excited to run to the boxes, opening the lids one by one, and Aramis took a deep look at Sherlock and Tony, and ran over.

Seeing that they were both leaving, Tony lowered his voice and said to Sherlock with some ferocity, "What do you mean?

Tony's tone was not very polite, now that the signboard of the Shining Gold Chamber of Commerce is gone, Sherlock is now equivalent to sending people under the fence, Tony no longer needs to lower his profile because of Sherlock's identity as before, he even feels that his status should be above Sherlock now.

In fact, if it weren't for William's care, Tony's habits, he would have extorted the money from Sherlock's fat sheep a long time ago.

Sherlock was not delighted by Tony's flattering attitude, and he had already encountered too many such things after the incident, so the few words that William Tor Edmund conveyed to him would have touched him deeply at the time.

"I'm just reminding you to see where you are," Sherlock didn't even look at Tony, "I don't know when you had the illusion of putting yourself in the same position as William, but trust me, I remind you that it's better than William reminding you in person." ”

"But, I ....... ”

Tony said a little unwillingly, but before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Sherlock: "But what? This time, the plan was set by William, and the main forces of the action were Edmund and Alamis, the winemaking workshop you relied on, don't forget, it was also proposed by William in the first place." ”

Tony's face turned pale for a while, but Sherlock ignored his feelings and continued: "Also, do you think you can still say anything among those young people in Red Leaf Village? Those young people still follow you because they still think you are a member of William's gang, and William is silent, so he still follows you by inertia, after making money from the smuggling business, how long have you not been to the docks and workshops? ”

"Moreover, now that Highreddin is dead, and Lacey is dead, and then Barbarossa, you and I are my age, we grew up listening to Redbeard's horror stories when we were children, and when William kills him and becomes the captain of the Redbeard Pirates, when such William stands in front of the young people of Red Leaf Village with you, to whom do you think they will show their loyalty? Why are you on an equal footing with him?"

William didn't say that....... Tony said with difficulty.

That's because he doesn't feel the need to do this, he always has a habit of thinking that everyone around him is very smart, so he thinks you can figure it out, but you don't seem to understand. ”

Sherlock patted Tony on the shoulder, "I'm here to remind you because of our past friendships, old friend." ”

The word "old friend", Sherlock bites a little hard, with some sarcasm, which shows that his previous attitude towards Tony is not without a mustard.
