Codex Pirates

Chapter 135 Imprisonment

"You don't have the ability to defend yourself, so why go to a place like a slum to take risks?"

After pouring a glass of wine for Dennis, Dampier persuaded, "You are different from Stolt and the others. You don't have to learn from them to fight with your life, and neither can you."

Dennis smiled wryly, with some helplessness on his face: "If you don't work hard, you will have no chance. I am already thirty years old, but I have achieved nothing. Not only have I not been able to make further progress in terms of title and official position, but I have been regressing."

"Some time ago, this dude, Aureliano, invited me to meet. He was obviously the same age as me, but he asked me to help. When he did things for him, it seemed like he was ordering his subordinates. I had to act like I was honored. It’s really not a good feeling in my heart.”

Dampier comforted: "He is the only son of the Minister of Finance. After Arcadio dies, he will inherit the title of Earl. How can you compare?"

"What about Stolter?" Dennis took a sip of his drink. "He looks so young, twenty years old? But he is already the same as me. In terms of power and beauty, he surpasses me."

Dennis slammed the empty wine glass on the table with force, and said unwillingly: "I would rather risk everything to get rid of this ordinary life, participate in a big event, become famous, but have no chance!"

Dampier's eyes flickered, but he didn't speak. He just continued to pour wine for Dennis silently.

After Dennis vented his grievances, he began to inquire about William with Dampier.

It's just that Dennis doesn't know the relationship between Dampier and William, let alone the weight of William in Dampier's heart, far surpassing him as the city's sheriff, and the disguise is not good enough.

Dampier was quick-witted, and when he realized something was wrong, he was a little vigilant in his heart, but his face remained calm. Instead, he tricked Dennis a lot of words and got a lot of useful information from him.

The two chatted for a while, and after drinking a lot of wine, Dampier left the box on the pretext of going to the bathroom, leaving behind a drunken Dennis.

Dampier walked out of the room and ordered directly to the two powerful guards at the door: "Look at him, without my order, no one is allowed to enter, and no one is allowed to come out!"

Seeing that the two guards responded respectfully, Dambier left quickly.

...

After William came out of the palace, he bid farewell to Arcadio with a cold face, leaving only the count stroking his beard proudly, watching his back go away.

William went straight back to his newly bought manor in the aristocratic area, where Harden, Aramis and other cadres of the pirate group were resting. As soon as William came back, they greeted him and asked about the follow-up.

When he heard that Arcadio recommended Crowe to be the head of the department and suggested that it become an independent department, a smart-headed Aramis immediately understood that Arcadio did not want to hand over this department to William's control. , and at the same time use Crowe to barely gag William's mouth, because although Crowe belongs to Arcadio, in name, Crowe is still a crew member of the Morgan Pirates, Arcadio played a word game, but Still kept its promise, this department is still led by the Morgan Pirates.

Others, such as Harden, also understood this truth after Aramis explained it.

"Captain, please give me an order," Harden was furious, staring at William, "Just say something, I'll kill that shitty earl right now, as well as Crowe, a guy who eats inside and out, no wonder he didn't come today, It turns out that he went back to kneel and lick his old master again!"

William smiled and waved his hands. In front of these confidants, his face did not have the bluntness that he showed in front of Arcadio before: "If we kill Arcadio now, won't our work be in vain?"

William wanted to say something more, to appease the angry Harden, and someone told him that Dampier had come to him.

William was a little strange, but he still went to the gate to meet Dampier himself, and welcomed him to the living room, followed by several cadres of the Morgan Pirates.

Dampier hesitated to speak, looked at several cadres, the meaning was obvious.

William said, "I can trust everyone present. Whatever you can say to me, you can also say to them."

Since William said so, Dampier is not interested in being a villain in vain: "Arcadio is asking Dennis to investigate you in private."

"Oh?" William's smile gradually faded, "Where did you hear that?"

"Dennis said it himself, he is now under my control," Dampier said in a deep voice, "Arcadio asked his son, Aureliano, to communicate with Dennis, and it turned out that this dude's It made Dennis very disgusted by the faction, and he didn't wholeheartedly follow the instructions arranged by the only son of the Earl."

"However..." Dampier knocked on the table, "Now Dennis doesn't know where to get the news, and I suspect that you killed Andre."

William closed his eyes, opened them after a while, and exhaled: "Sure enough, you can't underestimate people casually. Even a cowardly gambler can't be said to be useless."

"Have you controlled the man?" William asked, looking at Dampier.

Dampier nodded, and added: "I got his words. He also suspected you just now. Before he had time to talk about this suspicion with other people, he came to me to ask you what you said."

"Arcadio should just be a little wary. It shouldn't be a problem to use Crowe to win a round today." William tapped the armrest of the sofa unconsciously with his fingers, and muttered to himself, "But if you don't fear ten thousand, you will be afraid of ten thousand." One, who knows whether that gambler's tone is strict..."

After a while, he seemed to come back to his senses, and ordered: "Jesus, Aramis, you two and a few people are monitoring Arcadio's manor. If there is anything unusual, use the phone bug to report to me. Remember to bring your rifle, Jesus cloth."

"Digo, Sherlock is still in the city, find him, take him back to the ship, ask the crew to be vigilant, control the dock if necessary, and ensure that the ship can set sail at any time."

"Selkirk, take some men to the gate, too, and hold the gate if necessary."

"Harden, you go to stand guard near Dennis's house and keep an eye on his family."

William even issued an order, and a group of cadres would respond loudly when they heard their names were called, and then left.

But after a while, only William and Dampier were left in the room.

In front of Dampier, William dialed Tony's number with a phone bug and asked him to find Mouse and Ajin.

During this period, William has been very serious, and Dampier has been silent.

On the other side of the phone bug, after more than ten minutes, Tony found the mouse.

After William spoke with the mouse, the expression on his face still looked a little serious, but his tone became very enthusiastic, which surprised Daniel.
