Codex Pirates

Chapter 29 Negotiation

[Lightning Reflex] This kind of special ability actually provides more of William's potential. William's reaction speed is very fast now, but it is not as fast as a bullet. To achieve a speed comparable to bullet firing, it also requires sufficient time to exercise.

But who said that dodging bullets must be faster than bullets?

From the moment when the pirate leader pulls the trigger with his finger, to when the spring drives the flint, until the flint hits the fire door, causing sparks to ignite the gunpowder. This is an extremely short time, but for William at this time, it is an extremely long time, which is enough for him to dodge. action.

Time seemed to be stagnant, and the pirate leader moved his fingers slowly as if in slow motion, while William's pupils changed slightly. After observing the direction in which the gun was aimed, the range of motion was small and he turned his head slightly.

Time quickly returned to normal.

Boom!

Snapped!

The first sound was the sound of popping beans after the bullet was ejected from the chamber, and the second sound was the crisp sound of the bullet falling through William's ear and hitting the wooden wall.

William wasn't faster than the bullet, but Sherlock, the pirate leader, and the pirates couldn't tell the difference. In their eyes, William's reaction seemed to be faster than the bullet!

Sherlock opened his mouth wide in surprise, and the pirate leader's eyes widened in horror, while William had already rushed to the latter with great strides.

William's feet made a series of muffled sounds when they stepped on the wooden floor, but the opposite was a huge force.

The scimitar easily pierced the fragile skin and muscles of the pirate leader, pierced through his left chest until it came out through the body.

William still kept walking, and continued to advance against the screaming pirate leader. Finally, with a low shout, he directly nailed the pirate leader's feet off the ground to the wall with all his strength!

"Wait a minute, don't kill him!" Only then did Sherlock cry out weakly.

William released his hands from the handle of the knife, and turned his eyes from the lifeless pirate leader to Sherlock. He smiled relaxedly, but his face was stained with blood, and in this picture In the room like the Shura field, it is really hard to relax: "You speak too slowly."

Sherlock smiled wryly: "You shot too fast."

After he finished speaking, he stretched out his hand again: "I am Sherlock."

"William, first time meeting." William also reached out his hand and shook Sherlock lightly.

"I'm impressed." Sherlock glanced at the scattered corpses in the room, and said slowly.

From William's attack to the end, it can be said that the rabbit is ups and downs, and the speed is extremely fast. The pirates didn't even have time to threaten Sherlock as a hostage, so they went to Huangquan Road as companions and became pirates together.

William walked towards the dead body of the pirate cadre, and said at the same time: "I think this should be exactly what you expected, just with money, it's just a piece of the sea that everyone can bite on." A mouthful of fat, you asked me to come, don’t you just want to see if I’m as good as Tony said, and if I can protect the future business?”

"So, do you agree to cooperate with me now?" William said while bending down to pick up a flintlock pistol from the waist of the pirate cadre's corpse, which was too late for the other party to use just now.

When he was checking whether the pistol was filled with ammunition, he suddenly smelled a foul smell in his nose. He glanced away, but found that it was coming from the crotch of the pirate who had snatched the knife from him before.

This man is trying to pretend to be dead. Although he was thrown by William at first, he also avoided the bad luck of being harvested by the god of death. Unfortunately, when he sneaked a glimpse of William playing with the pistol, he thought he was being killed. I found out that William's crisp killing swordsmanship before and his ability to dodge bullets in his eyes had frightened him out of his courage. At this time, his body was shaking like chaff, his lower body became hot, and he even peed on his pants.

William kicked him lightly, and said lightly, "If you don't want to die, go and hold the gate for me."

On the other side, Sherlock twitched the corner of his mouth: "I think, since you really dare to come to the appointment with bare hands as you said on the phone, and now that we are both still alive, your problem is self-evident."

The gunshot that just rang out from the captain's cabin spread outside, which has already alarmed the other pirates. The footsteps sounded from the deck and the aisle of the cabin gradually approached, but William didn't pay much attention to it. When he obediently climbed up to hold the door, he had already come to the only small window in the house.

Under the puzzled eyes of Sherlock and the pirates, William smashed the window, then raised his pistol and shot casually outside.

Bean-like gunshots sounded far away in the open sea, William casually threw the empty flintlock pistol on the table, and then smiled at Sherlock: "Okay, the matter will be settled immediately, it would be a waste of money for you and me." Since we have reached a cooperation intention, let’s start talking about the next business now, especially the most crucial point—who will lead the business.”

"Here?" Sherlock took out a perfumed handkerchief to cover his nose, and frowned in disgust.

"Why not?" William smiled disapprovingly, he just wanted to negotiate in this bloody room!

Business negotiations are inherently omnipotent battlefields, and strength in the business field never only refers to money, but also requires other forces to escort.

In a peaceful and stable society, this power mostly refers to the government and official power, and the policy preference and support provided will not make the investment money go to waste for some inexplicable reason.

But in this troubled world, it does not only refer to the official and government authority, but also includes the real force that can deter and resist pirates and robbers from all walks of life. It is also easy to let people do business on the sea without escorting human force. The money invested is wasted.

William negotiating here is equivalent to finding an office full of visiting photos of government leaders in his previous life. The dead body hanging on the wall can declare his strength more than anything else.

Since the gunshot just now, the noise outside has become louder, and there are faint waves of shouts and killings coming in through the broken windows.

"Okay," Sherlock said although he was very courageous, but this was aimed at business matters. He was not a pirate who used to lick blood like William, so he could only suppress his discomfort and covered his mouth with a handkerchief. Shut up your mouth and nose, cover up some stench, and said in a muffled voice: "Your idea is very good, but I will undertake the most critical and dangerous links from product transportation to local sales, and I will build it from scratch." A sales network is not an easy task, so dominance..."

Before Sherlock finished speaking, he was interrupted by the sound of killing not far away. The sound seemed to come from outside the door, which made him look at the door with some doubts.
