Codex Pirates

Chapter 23 Request

"You're right. It was indeed I who asked you before, but now you are the one who asked me." William ground his feet hard, still smiling.

In the final analysis, the Denton Pirates that William belonged to before are no longer popular, and making a living at sea is also a high-risk occupation with the head pinned to the waistband. A sea battle cannonballs fly and bullets are fired randomly. These are not Tony, who only lives on the shore. The hooligan leaders can meet each other. As far as the threat level is concerned, William didn't take Tony's hooligans seriously from the beginning to the end, so no matter what Tony's attitude was from the beginning, he didn't change his color.

"What?" Tony asked through gritted teeth.

William kicked the pistol away, raised Tony with one hand and said, "Now, you need to ask me to let you live!"

"You're dreaming!" Tony had the aura of a gangster fighting fiercely, and he still wanted to fight back at this moment. He conjured a dagger out of nowhere, and took the opportunity to stab William.

The result was naturally predictable. William snatched the dagger, grabbed his neck, and slammed him against the big tree behind him.

William exerted so much force that the tree that was as thick as the two of them hugged each other trembled, and Tony leaned against the tree in all sorts of messes.

A few shaken leaves fell on Tony's head, and William patted him gently like an old friend: "Now your life is in my hands, so you are asking me, then we should be able to Have a good talk."

"Do it if you have the guts!" Tony stared at William.

William frowned in confusion: "People like you, why do you shout so loudly every time your life falls into the hands of others? Do you think that I, like you, only talk about threats? Little gangster, so you dare not kill?"

After he finished speaking, without waiting for Tony to respond, he turned his head and said to A Jin who was not far away, "Kill that man named Manny."

Without saying a word, A Jin pulled Manny's body over and pressed him to the ground.

Just when Manny was about to yell, Ajin's big hands like iron pincers pinched his mouth, stuffing his yelling back into his stomach.

Ajin put one knee on Manny, who was struggling weakly. Under Tony's horrified eyes, he sent the cold knife directly into Manny's back from the waist, and slowly penetrated into it.

Manny burst into tears, and soon turned from struggling to twitching, while Tony watched with cold sweat, especially Ajin's habitual indifference made people feel that he was murderous.

Tony trembled: "Stop, stop!"

Akin didn't stop until William told him to stop. He pulled out the knife, and the blood gushing from the wound quickly wet the ground under him. Intake less.

Tony's complexion was as pale as paper, sweating profusely, and Edmund's complexion was also not very good-looking. Only William, Arkin, Aramis and others remained unchanged, and even Wallon, who was always simple and honest, had no eyes from the beginning to the end. blink.

After all, Edmund is just a self-proclaimed pirate, and William and the others are genuine pirates.

"He's dying," William looked away from Manny, took out a handkerchief to wipe Tony's cold sweat, and said slowly, "He's dead, it's your other subordinate's turn, and then it's your turn, So your time is running out."

Tony said shyly, "What do you want to do?"

At this time, Aramis plucked the hair of Angie who had passed out, dragged him directly to William, and said carelessly: "Don't talk so much nonsense with him, these trash are so weak, let's kill them first." Kill them, and then rush to Hongye Village overnight, kill those gang leaders, and directly control his gang, how dare a group of bullying gangsters dare to rebel?"

"Don't kill me!" Tony said hastily, "My uncle is the village chief, you can't hide it if you kill me, let alone control my power in Hongye Village."

William waved to Aramis, drove away the guy who deliberately threatened people, and then said to Tony: "Don't worry, if you are willing to cooperate, I will not make such a bad move."

"I cooperate, I cooperate." Tony nodded like a chicken pecking rice.

"Help him stop the bleeding!" William turned his head and gave a loud order to A Jin, and then said to Tony: "Don't worry, I really have a profitable business with you this time, but I want to rely on you and Your uncle's relationship, and local connections..."

William casually fiddled with the dagger that Tony had taken from him, and smiled disdainfully: "...not your boy scouts who are only suitable for playing with toys."

He took out a pack of cigarettes from Tony's upper body pocket, lit one for Tony and asked, "Do you know how to read? Do you usually read newspapers?"

Tony's face was still a little pale, he nodded first, then shook his head.

William took out a few newspapers from his arms and gave them to him, on which he circled many news content or headlines with a red marker:

"Wise or stupid? Norton I threatened to ban alcohol!"

"...If this news is true, then the Kingdom of Navia will no longer have a place to drink openly."

"Chancellor of the Exchequer makes a speech - 'Alcohol is the root of crime!'"

...

William estimated that Tony might not be able to see it, so he explained to him: "The King Norton I of the Kingdom of Navia is said to have hated alcohol since he was a child."

William pointed to a newspaper where the red circle was drawn, which was an introduction to the Kingdom of Navia and King Norton I: "He never drank alcohol, and since he took the throne, he has imposed heavy taxes on the sale and purchase of alcoholic beverages." , and now he finally wants to completely eradicate alcohol from his country."

Smiling, he continued: "Of course, it's not like this kind of fool who was raised in a palace and thought he was, and should be, the center of the universe since he was a child. I think both you and I should know that he can't stand alcohol. Yes, and he’s just going to increase the price of wine tenfold or more, and he’s not collecting taxes.”

Tony was more or less intelligent, and William understood what he said, so he quickly said, "You want to smuggle alcohol into the Kingdom of Navia?"

Tony turned his mind. This is indeed a profitable business, but there are also big thresholds: "I'm afraid it's not easy."

"Of course, if it was that easy, I would have done it by myself, so why bother to ask you to cooperate?" William patted Tony on the shoulder with a smile, stared into his eyes and said, "Since you agreed to cooperate with me, then yes Any suggestions for our upcoming business project?"

Tony glanced at William's unsmiling eyes, then at the two men who looked miserable, gritted his teeth, and said as if making up his mind: "I think we should bring in another person."
