Chapter 69 Old Friends

For a moment, William thought Barbarossa would take action. He knew that Barbaros had nowhere to vent his anger after being hit one after another, but in the end, this strong man who seemed to be on the verge of losing his mind still suppressed his murderous intent when facing the seemingly weak Arcadio.

The conversation was obviously unable to continue any longer. Barbarossa kicked the tea table and left in a fit of anger, not even caring about William and Clow.

William didn't know why Barbarossa didn't take action. Although Arcadio brought a group of guards, there was a real conflict. Even if Barbarossa was injured, the opponent might not be able to protect the weak Arcadio.

William followed Barbarossa without consciously, which made Arcatiodo look at him.

Arcadio looked at Clo, saw the latter nodding slightly, and asked William: "Are you Stolte?"

"Yes, sir." William answered honestly.

His attitude made Alcateio look satisfied: "Are you a sailor on the ship? Then you should have received a good education. The ship is full of vulgar and unpretentious rough people. You should usually be educated and have some cultivation and understanding of the order of hierarchy."

William looked at Clow when he heard this. Clow took advantage of the time when he lowered his head to drink tea and smiled secretly at him.

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

A small island that has not been set foot on for many years has finally welcomed a cargo ship today.

Without waiting for the springboard to be put down, Alamis jumped down from the bow of the boat and landed on the shore. After looking around, he took out a map from his arms, compared the surrounding scenery and observed it.

After the springboard was put down, Edmond, Tony, Sherlock and others came to him one after another. At the same time, many sailors and workers also came down from the cargo ship, busy around the ship.

The few people did not go up to help, and they all revolved around the map and discussed for a while. Edmund and Tony were responsible for the way. Alamis and Sherlock followed the map to guide the way and were close to the island.

The island was quiet, with only a few bird calls occasionally. This island could be selected by Barbarossa as a treasure site, because it was naturally remote enough. The island was rugged and overgrown with weeds, which was very difficult to walk on. After searching for a long time, a few people found a hidden path in an inconspicuous corner where the sun could not shine. As they walked down, a natural cave entrance appeared in front of them.

In addition to Sherlock, who once lived a wealthy life, Edmund, Alamis, Tony and others seemed a little excited. So far, the things found by the four people can correspond to Barbarossa's navigation log.

Tony lit the kerosene lamp he had been carrying. He first entered the hole. The road inside was a bit narrow. Everyone else followed him. After walking for a while, Tony suddenly stopped moving. Edmond behind him pushed him strangely. Tony came to his senses and quickly made way.

A natural cave with a large area suddenly appeared in front of everyone, but they were not in the mood to sigh at the wonders of nature.

Heavy wooden boxes were almost filled with caves. Some boxes were even too full to close the lid because they could not close the lid. They were so open, revealing the gold coins and gems inside. Under the light, they emitted a brilliant light, making it difficult to move away from their sight.

After all, Sherlock was the only son of the chairman of the Chamber of Commerce. He came to his senses first and pushed Alamis: "Don't be stunned, move all these things away quickly."

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

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

Tony was stunned and said with a forced smile: "Of course, but William is not a stingy person. We have also put a lot of efforts into this action. It is impossible for him to give it to everyone without any benefits."

"I know, but before William spoke, all these things were named Morgan." Sherlock said.

Edmund was already excited to run to the box and opened the box cover one by one. Alamis looked at Sherlock and Tony deeply, and ran over.

Seeing that both of them left, Tony lowered his voice and said to Sherlock with some viciousness: "What do you mean? I deliberately embarrass me?"

Tony's tone was not very polite. Now the sign of the Flash Gold Chamber of Commerce is gone. Sherlock is now equivalent to relying on others. Tony no longer needs to lower his posture because of Sherlock's identity as before. He even feels that his current status should be above Sherlock.

In fact, if it weren't for William's care, Tony's habit would have blackmailed the money on Sherlock, the fat sheep.

Sherlock did not act like Tony's respectful attitude, and after the accident, he had encountered too many such things, so the few short words William sent to Edmund to convey to him would have moved him deeply at that time.

"I'm just reminding you to see where you are," Sherlock didn't look at Tony. "I don't know when you have the illusion that you put yourself and William in the same position, but believe me, I remind you that it's better than William personally reminding you then."

"But, I..."

Tony said unwillingly, but before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Sherlock: "But what? This plan was decided by William. The main force of the action is Edmund and Aramis. The winemaking workshop you think is based on, don't forget that William also proposed to establish it."

Tony's face turned pale, but Sherlock ignored his feelings and continued, "Also, do you think you can still talk about the young people in Hongye Village? Those young people still follow you because they thought you were a member of William's gang, and William didn't say anything, so he still followed you with inertia. After making money in smuggling business, how long has it been since you went to the dock and workshop? The one they admire and respect the most now is William, who is very capable, smart and approachable, and is no longer you."

"And, now Heiding is dead, and Reth is dead, and next is Barbarossa. At your age, you and me grew up listening to the horror stories of Redbeard when you were young. After William killed him and replaced him as the captain of the Redbeard Pirates, when such William stood with you in front of the young people in Red Leaf Village, who do you think they would offer their loyalty to? Why do you have the same attitude as him?"

"William has never said that..." Tony said with difficulty.

"That's because he doesn't think it's necessary. He always habitually thinks 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 just remind you, old friend because of our past friendship."

Sherlock bit the word "old friend" a little bit hard, with a little sarcastic sarcasm, which shows that his attitude towards Tony was not at all unfair.

(The work has created a document about the original flintlock firefighter and other military issues. A long time ago, I saw some readers who commented on this and thought about doing it. I always forgot it. Finally, I remembered that the single-shot setting of flintlock firefighter mentioned in this book is not a fool.)
