Chapter 257 Turning the tide

After Harden was out of danger, William brought people back to Kalmar City. The Golden Lion Ski had already arrived in the East China Sea and could appear at any time. William must be in charge of the base camp and stabilize people's hearts.

It’s just strange that the Golden Lion Ski has never appeared during this period. Although William was confused, he still seized the time and ordered the textile factory to start building hot air balloons and airships.

At the same time, media such as Donghai Newspaper sent people to interview to understand the causes and consequences of the Golden Lion Ski incident.

Because she performed very well in her last character interview, Laura Louise was sent by Donghai News this time.

A group of reporters and editors were dizzy by the name of Golden Lion Ski. He was a legendary figure as famous as One Piece King Roger and Whitebeard Edward. Even though he had been hiding for many years, for those who grew up in the East China Sea, the weakest pirate waters, Golden Lion Ski is still a name that he could only look up to before.

Unexpectedly, such a person has come to the East China Sea now and wants to destroy this sea area.

None of them ever thought whether William was lying, because there was no need for William to do so. William had a good reputation in the Kingdom of Navia and even the East China Sea. Why did he tell a lie that could be easily exposed for such a thing? What is the benefit? What is the purpose?

After a group of reporters and editors left with either excited or worried expressions, Laura Louise was stopped by a servant.

Laura Louise's face was confused, but her heart was pounding. The servant stopped Louise and closed the door and left. Louise turned around and saw William pointing to a chair directly opposite him and making a gesture of asking him to sit.

Laura Louise sat on the chair pretending to be calm, but immediately William's words smashed her disguise to pieces.

"Did Youtholin Heller look for you personally, or did you entrust someone else to find you?" William asked lightly.

Laura Louise's expression changed: "What did you say? I don't know very much?"

"I'm really disappointed to be foolish at this time," William shook his head. "You might as well ask 'How did you know'."

Laura Louise opened her mouth and said nothing.

"Do you think my power is limited to the East China Sea? You don't know anything about the great route? So you shouldn't know that Yusolin Heller found a reporter from the World Economic News to investigate me?" William said, bent down, took out a bottle of whiskey and two cups from under the desk, and poured a glass of wine for each of them.

It was discovered that Laura Louise was mainly based on the news from Akin. He was still thinking about meeting Yusolin Heller by chance. After some inquiries, he learned that Yusolin Heller often complained to his superiors, but he suddenly gave up on such behavior recently.

The military camp is a relatively closed place, and it is difficult to hide the news from the comrades living on the same boat. Ajin's rank is higher than Yusolin Heller, so it is easier to find out the news. He spent some time and finally heard a useful news, which was when someone saw Yusolin Heller write a letter to the World Economic News newspaper.

Ajin immediately sent the news back to William, and then William soon locked his target on Laura Louise.

In fact, if the National Security Agency is still under the leadership of Clow, then there is no need for news from Ajin to easily discover Laura Louise's suspicious identity. However, after Tony came to power, he only focused on personnel struggles and power struggles. The National Security Agency's efficiency and morale were low, which was far less developed than that of Clowe's administration.

William discovered this through Laura Louise's incident. He hated him so much that he had annoyed. He originally planned to replace Tony immediately after Clow came back and kick him to a new department. But now Clow is missing, and then the Golden Lion Ski attacks again, so the matter will be put aside for the time being.

After William discovered Laura Louise's identity, he did not take any measures immediately because he originally planned to use Louise's identity to do some articles.

However, the plan cannot change faster than the change. The golden lion Ski suddenly attacked, disrupting many of his steps.

Defeating the Golden Lion Ski will not be an isolated incident. The world government and the navy will not be able to farm and develop safely in the East China Sea after watching William defeat a legendary pirate like the Golden Lion Ski. The strange current situation of the Morgan Pirates and the Navia Kingdom will definitely be noticed by the official forces and will seriously start an investigation.

William knew how many illegal things he had done during his time in his career—he had boarded a pirate ship, bribed naval officers, collected protection fees in the East China Sea, etc., and even killed or indirectly killed two supreme commanders of the naval branch base.

What's more, the laws of the world government are more like rule of man, and the definition of pirates is very vague. In many cases, they rely on the mouths of the navy and the government to judge.

William is now like many private enterprises in China in his previous life. He had some problems in his early days. However, William is actually quite big. He is just wandering on the edge of the law, while he is directly illegal and disorderly. So no matter how far he develops in the future, as long as the government wants to get old accounts, he can turn it over. The difference is just whether it has attracted attention. Whether the world government and the navy want to deal with William.

William judges others by himself, and with his observations of the world government and navy over the years, he feels that the world government and navy cannot place a force that can defeat the Golden Lion Ski and ignore it in the East China Sea.

William did not want the world government and the navy to think slowly, then investigated him, and had time to formulate detailed plans and make sufficient preparations to come to the East China Sea to carry out the arrest. He hoped that the faster the navy and the world government would move, the better.

Because two major events have happened this year. One is that Zefa, a former naval general, known as the "black wrist", was attacked and seriously injured. Even his proud arm was cut off. This incident shocked a lot within the Navy, because in addition to being a high-end combat power of the Navy, he also had many students in the Navy headquarters. In addition, the Navy headquarters had to spend more energy on the great route to deter those pirates who were full of morale and ready to move after hearing the news.

Second, the revolutionary army began to be exposed to the eyes of the world. They have begun to seize state power. Although their popularity is still small, they have attracted the attention of knowledgeable people. William believes that the Navy and the World Government must not be all idiots. Some people will definitely recognize the threat this armed force, which is very different from the pirates, can pose to the rule of the world government.

In fact, what William is not clear is that according to the development of the original work, at the World Government Conference next year, the political leaders of various countries will discuss the Revolutionary Army and their leader Monkey.d. Dragon. The kings have realized their threat and called on the kings of various countries to work together to capture the Revolutionary Army and Dragon.

The great route and the whole world are turbulent. Now the navy and the world government have new troubles to deal with. As William said before and his subordinates, this is a good time to start a war.

Compared with the World Government and the Navy Headquarters, William and others are like an undeveloped boy. They can only have the possibility of victory when the enemy is held back.

If the two "strong men" of the Navy and the World Government can settle the current troubles and spend enough time investigating clues about William's various trump cards, such as the new steamship and the Seven Waters Capital, William and his chances of winning will be very low.

Therefore, William needed a helping help to promote the world government and the navy to arrest him as soon as possible, and like Yusolin Heller, he also thought of public opinion at the first time.

He wanted to use the news of the World Economic News to create enough public opinion influence, so that the world government and the Navy headquarters would not have much time to think and could not delay. He could only set out immediately to the East China Sea to arrest William.

Even for investigation, William was not prepared to let the world government and the navy take the time to do it, he was ready to expose it through the news himself.

Laura Louise didn't know William's true thoughts, her heart had sunk.

As the investigation deepened, she learned more and more about William. This man was wise, powerful, powerful, friendly, and had outstanding temperament. To be fair, he was very charming, but Louise knew better that this man was also cruel and ruthless and killed without blinking.

Moreover, looking at the formulation of various laws and regulations of the journalism industry by the Kingdom of Navia, we can also see that William is a person who attaches great importance to public opinion and propaganda work. The purpose of Louise's trip is strictly to expose William. It is obvious that she does not think that William will not be aware of the possible negative impacts.

Louise subconsciously swept around, especially at the window, but she then gave up hope of running away because she knew very well that she could not escape from William.

But to Louise's surprise, William put a glass of whiskey poured in front of her, and instead comforted her: "Don't worry, I won't make things difficult for you."

Louise took the whiskey, took a sip and asked, "Why?"

"You are here to investigate me?" William left the chair behind the table, came to Louise, leaned against the desk, holding a wine glass and asked relaxedly, "How is the investigation going?"

When William left the chair, Louise was a little nervous. When she saw that he had no other dangerous moves, Louise breathed a sigh of relief. When she heard the question, she hesitated and said, "I know a lot about what you did after you became the Navia Kingdom. Most of the deeds before becoming the rule were learned through folk legends, and many details were unclear."

"What, for example?" William asked.

"For example, you have not been a pirate for a long time and have a lot of momentum. Why don't you have any bounty at all? This is the premise for you to become a nobleman in this country," Louise was guided by William and relaxed a lot. When she talked about news investigation, she became much more courageous. After taking a sip of wine, she spoke faster, "For example, you charge fees for passing ships in the waters of this country, why do the local Navy Division 16 ignore it?"

"Because the two managers of the 16th Division of the Navy have become tragic with me. When I was a pirate, Colonel Roy served as a protective umbrella for me, and I provided him with benefits." William said with a smile.

Laura Louise opened her eyes wide and her mouth slightly opened. She was shocked. The key information that she had tried her best to investigate but still could not be investigated was revealed from the person involved?

William spoke with a righteous tone, as if what he said was actually not worth mentioning, but this was the highest commander of a naval base, colluding with the pirates who should have been hunted and encircled by them!

"Wait," Laura Louise's cheeks turned slightly red. I don't know if it was because of the sudden happiness or the influence of alcohol. She dared to come to Donghai alone. She was indeed a character who was desperate for news. She quickly threw her previous worries behind her and asked, "Col. Roy is your umbrella? Then will he allow you to become the consul of the Kingdom? If you become a senior leader, your identity will be different and you may be out of his control."

"Of course he won't allow it," William laughed and said relaxedly, "so I killed him and then helped a new commander to take office."

"Ah?" Louise's face turned pale, as if a basin of cold water was poured on her head. William's answer brought her back to reality, reminding her that although the man in front of her looked kind, he was an absolute murderer.

Louise had to lower her head and think about why William suddenly said so much to her, because she was about to kill someone to silence her? No, as far as she knew, William would not be such a boring person, and would do such a waste of time. After all, the Golden Lion Ski has already arrived in the East China Sea.

By the way, Golden Lion Ski!?

Louise had just got a clue when her chin was gently raised. William still smiled and looked at Louise's eyes, asking, "Why do you think I'm telling you this?"

Louise gently spit out five words: "Golden Lion, Ski."

"Smart!" William withdrew his hand and said in admiration.

"The Golden Lion Ski wants to destroy the East China Sea, but your foundation is in the East China Sea. You and him will inevitably have a battle. Once the war starts and loses, you will have nothing and win. Your reputation is limited to the East China Sea. Your name will definitely be transmitted to other seas, and your power will be exposed under the gaze of the world government and the Navy headquarters." Louise drank another sip of wine under William's admiring gaze, and her face turned redder, but the analysis continued:

"You told me that since it will be exposed sooner or later, you might as well expand your reputation and influence through the news of the World Economic News?"

"Yes, it's a pity that you are from the World Economic News." William shook his head and said with regret.

Seeing William's always confident and relaxed attitude, thinking about what he saw and heard in Kalmar City over the past few days, Laura Louise, the civilians who have benefited from William's policies, finally couldn't help but persuade: "Why are you so relaxed and confident? I know you are amazing. It's already rare to develop from a pirate to this point at this age, but you have to face the Golden Lion Ski! You won't be his opponent at all! And why do you have to face him by yourself? Isn't it good to tell the people of the Navy Headquarters and the World Government?"

William smiled at Louise, who was unconsciously showing a care-looking look on his face, raised his head, drank the wine in the glass and gently placed it on the table:
Chapter completed!
