The boat Edmund and Oliver finally arrived at the Red Leaf Village Pier safely.

Oliver, who consciously seized a chance to make a comeback, believed no one. He did not let go when he saw Tony's subordinates and asked to take Edmund to meet William in person. Tony's subordinates had no choice but to bring Oliver and Edmund to William and Tony.

William was wandering in Red Leaf Village at that time. The cargo ship where Edmund and Wallon were not arrived at the dock at the specified time. He felt something was wrong, so he kept waiting for news in Tony's tavern.

When Edmund saw William, his worry and anxiety were relieved after many days. His eyes heated up and he even shed tears: "William, our ship was robbed by the Red Beard Pirates."

William and Tony's expression changed when they heard this.

Tony asked hurriedly, "Where is the goods?"

William asked in a silence, "How are you doing?"

Oliver, who was standing aside, looked at Tony first, then William, and then lowered his head. He didn't understand the difference between "asking goods first, asking people, and asking people first, asking goods later," but the latter undoubtedly made him feel more comfortable for those who have worked for William like this.

Edmund ignored Tony and said to William with red eyes: "Everyone on the boat should have been killed, Wallon..., Wallon was also killed!"

When Tony heard the "Red Beard Pirates", he was already panicked. When he heard the crew members were killed and even Wallon was dead, he became even more panicked and murmured to himself: "What should I do?"

William was so calm that he pursed his lips and stopped Edmund who wanted to say something. He asked Angie to find a few subordinates to take the weak Edmund to see the doctor.

After the group helped Edmund leave, William took out his wallet from his clothes pocket, took out Tony's wallet, took out all the money inside, and gently placed it on Oliver's hand.

"Is Oliver? I remember you. This time I owe you my personal favor. Don't be too little. Take it first, take it around the village, stay here temporarily at night, tomorrow..."

Before William could finish his words, he was interrupted by Oliver and said, "Sir, I don't need money, I just want one opportunity."

Oliver said, pushing William's hand back.

William was stunned, but he still put the money in his hands: "This money has nothing to do with the fact that you saved Edmond... Have you ever read a book?"

Oliver was actually jealous of the money, so he stopped refusing. After hearing William's later question, he shook his head embarrassedly.

"Then can you endure hardship?" William continued.

Oliver nodded hurriedly: "I grew up alone and support myself. I'm never afraid of suffering, Mr. William."

"Okay," William waved Manny and said to Oliver, "You will live here from today. I ask Manny to arrange a teacher to teach you how to study and send you to the dojo to learn swordsmanship. I will be responsible for your daily tuition and living expenses. If you become a talent in the future, you can help me with your work. If you want to find opportunities outside, I will not block you. Do you agree?"

Oliver nodded excitedly. Seeing this, William carefully reminded Manny in front of him, making him very grateful, and then followed Manny away.

After the outsider left, William's face gradually turned pale. He glanced at Tony, took out a phone call to inform Ajin and Alamis who were far away in Frostmoon Village.

...

In one of the best clinics in Hongye Village, when you were alone, William asked Edmund to tell the story in full.

Edmund did not shirk his responsibilities and did not hide the slightest part of his stupid things he did.

When William was like his brother, he had no outsiders, when he talked about his killing Valon, Edmund almost burst into tears with regret and pain on his face.

William comforted Edmund and asked him to recover from his injuries. He only left the ward after Edmund, who had taken the medication, fell asleep.

"This bastard Edmund!"

Outside the ward where Edmund was resting, after Akin and Alamis arrived, after hearing what William had reposted in detail, Alamis cursed with red eyes and was about to rush into the ward.

William pulled him away and dragged him out of the clinic.

"Do you want Edmund to die too?"

"He killed Wallon!" Alamis shouted with a distorted face.

"Shut up!" William stared at his eyes and said word by word: "I will only say it once, the Red Beard Pirates who killed Wallon!"

Aramis and William looked at each other for a moment in anger, then turned their heads, pulled out the knife, and screamed and chopped wildly at a small tree in front of the clinic.

"What do you say about Sherlock?" A Jin said with a stern voice.

When he went out to sea together and learned swords together, Ajin was not much better than Alamis, but he was more mature than Alamis and would not be burned through his reason by anger.

To put it bluntly, from the day they chose to be pirates, they had already expected that this day would happen. The real pirate life is not as beautiful as in fairy tales. It is like strong wine, which has mellow fragrance, spicy and bitterness. There are both laughter and sadness among the real pirates.

"I just contacted Sherlock and found out that his father had been arrested and interrogated in the name of 'tax evasion'. Sherlock thought it was because of other reasons, so he didn't tell us that he was the same as Edmund. Although he looked a little easier on the outside than Edmund, he was still too proud at heart," William bought a pack of cigarettes on the way to the clinic, lit one, and then said slowly, "Now, based on what Edmund said, they were being investigated and Sherlock's father was arrested, this attack is probably not only the pirates, but also the official forces of the Navy and the Navia Kingdom involved."

A Jin's face was dull. Although he was steady, he was still a young man and had not suffered too many setbacks. Over the past year, the smuggling business was booming under the leadership of William. His wallet was bulging. On weekdays, he was often surrounded by people walking on the dock. It can be said that he was incredible.

But now, he was hit by someone and directly shattered his dream. The Kingdom of Navia is a franchise of the world government, and the navy directly represents the will of the world government.

Most industry practitioners are actually distributed at the level of pyramids, and some people are at the top of the industry and have unlimited popularity. However, under the sparse pyramids, there are often hundreds of times, thousands of times, or even tens of times, and it is not realistic to take them and the top group of people.

Although William and the others are not like the lowest pirates, they are not as safe as today or tomorrow, they are far from the level of the big pirates at the top of the pyramid, and they can ignore the navy and the world government at will.

"What should we do next?" Ajin asked.

But compared to the depression of young people such as Ajin, William was a mature time traveler who had experienced many storms and waves in his previous life.

He was silent for a moment, then he directly pinched the still-lit cigarette into a ball, with murderous intent on his face, and did not retreat in his voice: "Find out all the masterminds involved, and then cut them one by one to avenge Wallon!"
