After Ajin entered the cellar, he looked at William and asked in unison, "What's wrong?"

William asked Ajin if something was wrong outside, while Ajin was puzzled about what was going on in the cellar.

Ajin paused slightly, and then replied first: "I just heard the gunshot..."

"It's nothing," William looked at Alamis who was walking towards the little girl, "there are only a few people hidden in it."

At this time, the little girl who was pretending to be an ostrich finally couldn't pretend anymore. She cried loudly and wanted to escape, but was caught by Alamis and tied up.

"Mom! Mom!" The little girl cried out loudly in the narrow cellar. The woman was sobbing when she heard the sound, but unfortunately her mouth was blocked by Alamis, and she could only keep crying.

Ajin was unmoved by this scene at all. In addition to the unpredictable weather that made people who were seeking life on the sea, the oceans of this world were also full of all kinds. William had never heard of in his previous life. He had never seen sea beasts waiting for an opportunity to attack the living creatures on the sea. In terms of time travelers like William, Ajin's previous life was like being a fisherman in horror movies such as "The Great White Jaws" and "Pizzard", which was more than just a death!

When you encounter a pirate, you can communicate with each other as a similar person, but when you encounter a vicious sea beast, you don’t even have the chance to beg for mercy.

Since childhood, A Jin, who was struggling to make a living on the sea every day in a simple wooden boat, had a fierceness in his bones who did not take his life seriously. Naturally, he would not be a rude person.

There was no change in Ajin's face, but William frowned. Ajin had been with him for a while and knew his habits. Seeing this, he whispered: "William, if you can't bear to fall into the hands of others, just..."

As Ajin said, he used a knife to wipe it from his throat, and the meaning was self-evident.

William did not respond. He had participated in several naval battles in the past few months of his life, but he had either fought with the pirates or the navy, fought on the battlefield, and killed civilians after the war. William was an ordinary person before he traveled through time, not a serial killer.

But William couldn't bear to hand over these people to other pirates. He lived with the pirates on the boat for a long time and knew their virtues well.

Perhaps, there are righteous thieves in this world, or heroes who are eager to be righteous, but in essence, pirates are composed of a group of illegal and disorderly bandits. When they choose to put their lives on the gambling table in the sea and live a day that today and tomorrow, the laws and morals of a peaceful society have little constraints on them. Being able to restrain themselves and not kill innocent people is already a rare quality among pirates, and the key point is the word "rare".

No one overestimates the morality of a group of people who live by snatching property.

William knew that in the boat he was on, except for the young pirates who had just boarded the boat, including him, who had a little bit of morality that had not been completely destroyed, the other old pirates who had tasted the pleasure of robbery were not far away even if they could not say that they would do everything evil, and their captain, "one-eyed" Denton, was particularly good.

According to the old pirate on the ship, it is said that Denton went out to sea at an age similar to William, but his luck was not good. He was captured by the pirates in the enemy ship and asked about the whereabouts of Denton's other companions. Denton never surrendered and suffered so much that his eye was dug out. However, after he escaped, he found that he was left behind by his companions. Since then, Denton's methods of treating the enemy and prisoners have become more and more cold-blooded. Whether it is men, women, young or old, when it falls into his hands, death is the easiest relief. This makes the pirates on the ship feel respect and fear of him. On the one hand, they respect his strong will tolerate, and on the other hand, they are afraid of his fierce means.

Denton never stings with cruelty to shock the pirates on the ship, nor is he worried that this management method will cause negative effects. Therefore, any of these three types of people fell into the hands of Denton, except for the teenager, they may be taken to the pirate ship, and no one else can survive, and they will die miserably.

William glanced at the little girl who had been blocked by Alamis and tied up, but finally walked to the struggling woman and squatted down.

At first, William lowered his eyelids slightly, as if he was looking at the ground, but then he raised his head, looked straight into the woman's eyes, and said coldly: "If you don't want your daughter to die, listen quietly to me."

William didn't know which threatened in his words worked or they were all very effective. The woman quickly calmed down and just looked at him in fear.

"I don't want to hurt women and children, but I can't guarantee that other people outside will follow my code of conduct. If we move the wine here, we won't come here. You will hide here obediently. No other pirates will come here again. When we leave, you will be safe."

After William finished speaking, the woman did not respond much, and seemed to be unbelieving that she was so lucky.

"Do you understand what I said?" William asked after getting up.

The woman's eyes were always on his face, so she raised her head blankly. After hearing this, she nodded subconsciously.

William pulled off the cloth stuffed in the woman's mouth and looked at the boy who had knocked out by him, but had not woken up yet and was tied up by Alamis, and said, "You'd better make it clear to him when he wakes up. I just don't want to kill you, but if you bring other pirates to embarrass me, I'll still do it."

The woman was already scared and still didn't dare to speak out, for fear of causing dissatisfaction with William, so she just nodded with a pale face.

William couldn't tell whether he was really just a verbal threat. He didn't know if he would kill him at that time. People often say that he sticks to the moral bottom line, and the word used is to stick to it. This shows that the moral bottom line itself is not a stronghold that is easy to defend. If you are not careful, it will easily be defeated by others, or yourself.

Most of the pirates are a group of bastards who bully the weak and fear the strong and short-sighted. In their worldview, compassion is equal to weakness, and William is unwilling to show his pity in front of these people.

William no longer said anything to the woman in the cellar, and signaled Alamis and Akin to move the wine from the cellar with him.

The three of them left the cellar, and William did not say that he would help the few civilians left behind to loosen their ties. What he said before was actually to prevent them from trying to break free from their ties. He was not so naive that he thought that if they would loosen their ties, they would stay in the cellar obediently.

When he arrived in the yard, Alamis suddenly spoke to William and said, "Even if you do this, they will not be grateful to you after being rescued. You should understand so smart. William, I really can't understand you."

William responded without hiding the disgust on his face, "I don't need their gratitude. I just hate this locust-like life. We live really disgusted."

A Jin, who had been silent, said: "That's how pirates are."
