The shouts of killing came and went quickly, and soon disappeared. After a while, a gentle knock on the door sounded outside the captain's room.

The pirate minion who was holding the door of the house looked at William with a pale face. The latter's smile expanded. He first looked at the surprised Sherlock, and then waved to the pirate minion and let him dodge.

"Come in!" William yelled outside the door.

The door of the captain's room was opened from outside, and a bare head covered with blood came out from behind. After taking a look at the environment inside the house, he walked in with confidence.

This person is naturally Valon. There is a lot of blood on his head, but there is no sign of injury on his body. Obviously, the blood is not his own.

"All the enemies outside have been resolved?" William asked.

Wallon randomly wiped the blood on his head and replied, "It should be solved. Akin, Alamis and Edmund checked one by one in the cabin if there were any fish that had missed the net."

William nodded, then looked at Sherlock who was pursing his lips tightly and said, "Sales are the most dangerous links in the local area? How dangerous is it? Being caught and extorted by local officials? You and I know that after we cooperate, my people will definitely watch the ship to protect the goods. They are all facing murderers at sea without blinking. The most dangerous link is actually the responsibility of me and my people."

"Mr. Sherlock, although my companion and I are not as noble as you, our lives are not as lowly as you," William leaned his hands on the desk, leaning forward, staring at Sherlock sitting condescendingly, and said word by word, "You only pay for money, and we pay for your life! So, of course, I have the final say in this business!"

William stood up straight again: "What's more, we don't just pay for our lives, we will also pay for it. And unless you ask your father for help, you will not be able to find someone qualified to cooperate with you in a short period of time. If you are not satisfied, you can not cooperate with me, but I still have to advise..."

He said in an unpredictable tone: "Only ships and cargo are available, for those with strength, they are just transportation teams that help people keep goods," he said.

After William finished speaking, the room suddenly fell silent. Wallon looked at William with some concern, and then observed the contemplative Sherlock, somewhat worried that Sherlock would be young and enraged by William's vague threatening words.

Unexpectedly, after a while, after thinking about it, Sherlock just blinked and said, "Outlaw? I like it."

Sherlock stood up and said, "The higher the risk, the greater the profit. I like bold people who dare to do business that ordinary people dare not do, so that they can make a lot of money that ordinary people cannot imagine. Do you have to dominate? Yes! But I am a businessman, I want profits, can you satisfy me?"

The two hands were held together again, one with thick joints and calluses, and the other with slender and slender one.

"no problem."

...

A Jin and others have always been hiding in the small wooden boat William was riding. The earliest William kicked the boat guardrail to remind the few people hidden in the boat's dark cabin. Next, pay attention to his signal.

When the other pirates were attracted by the movements from William and the Captain's room, they disguised themselves from it and killed the merchant ship.

Because Sherlock did not have the ability to protect himself, William protected Sherlock to the deck of the ship until after Ajin came to the captain's room to report that he had cleaned up all the pirates on the ship.

After several people left, Alamis, who was left alone, smiled at the pirate minion who was lucky enough to live. After a while, everyone who took a few steps first heard a scream from the captain's room.

Ajin turned his head and looked at Alamis who walked out of the room and followed the team again. The latter shrugged disapprovingly: "It's just interrupting his hands."

William was chatting with Sherlock, and he asked Sherlock: "I heard you say that, this kidnapping was planned for a long time? Then it seems that I should really save the leader's life. Do I need my help?"

"No need, actually, there is no need to ask. I can guess who did it," Sherlock shook his head.

"Is it a grudge between the rich?" William glanced at his expression, "I don't really understand the intrigue between you big families."

"My family really says wealth is only two generations. My great-grandfather is just an apprentice in a grocery store. When I come to my grandfather, I only have my own small shop. It's not a wealthy family," Sherlock smiled. "But every family inevitably has one or two incompetent relatives. His vision is too small, and he can only see something in front of his nose and has no ability to develop some of his own business. He is inevitably focused on starving to a little property in the family, probably because he is afraid that he will starve to death in the future."

"When you make a fortune in the future, you will probably have such relatives around you," Sherlock teased, "but I think with your personality, you will press him to death with your backhand. I'm a little short of it. After all, I'm just a business person, not as refreshing as you do."

As a pampered and rich young man, Sherlock, who had just experienced a series of events that could make ordinary people frightened, was already like a terrible person at this time. At least William could not see any haze on his face.

Just like a series of events from when Sherlock got on the boat alone to rescue him, she looked at William with a glance, and William also admired him very much from when Sherlock was kidnapped to now being calm and smiling.

Several people drove back to Hongye Village on a boat. Sherlock comforted the crew of the original merchant ship and asked them to leave on their own. Then he went to a welcome banquet specially held for him with Tony.

It was said that it was a banquet, but in fact there were only a few people, Tony and his village chief uncle, Sherlock, William, Akin, Alamis, Wallon and Edmund, who monopolized the second floor of the tavern. While drinking and eating, they talked about various aspects of future alcohol smuggling.

Edmund was actually still questioning whether the smuggling liquor business could succeed. He asked: "Will anyone buy wine that was only a few hundred Baileys if it was sold for thousands or even tens of thousands of Baileys?"

Before William could answer, Tony's uncle, Omar, the village chief of Hongye Village, grinned and said, "How come no one bought it?"

He raised the wine glass in his hand and smiled a little treacherously: "Those men who have been working for several days will definitely be willing to pay to be able to drink this wine during rest."

Edmund couldn't stand his virtue and did not respond to him. He turned around and whispered to Wallon.

Since Wallon has learned to read, he loves reading, or rather, he loves reading adventure novels. Wallon, who seems honest, also has a down-and-out heart in his heart, and in fact he yearns for the magnificent stories of the protagonists of the adventure novels. This coincides with Edmund.

The two simple young men of William's gang quickly got very close, but this made Alamis unhappy. He originally liked to bully and tease Wallon, but after Wallon and Edmund were hanging out all day, he became jealous again.

William was too lazy to care about these three funny guys. He suggested to Sherlock: "If possible, I suggest you register some pharmacies at your local sales point first. We only make alcohol in Hongye Village, and then transport them to these pharmacies. Even if they are seized by local officials, there is a saying that you can use medical alcohol to excuse me."

The method of using the pharmacy as a disguise to sell alcoholic beverages privately was borrowed by William from Americans in his previous life. This is how the protagonist of the novel "The Great Gatsby" actually did it.

"I'm afraid this taste won't be good, right?" Tony asked.

"The low-end market is the big one," Sherlock wiped his mouth, "and this can also save shipping costs. High-end finished wines can be shipped to sell directly, which is better to bribe local officials. The prohibition is really a good thing, allowing us to save a lot of money even if we bribe them."
