The other three were standing behind Gideon. They couldn't see his face and didn't know how young they were. If they do, it will only make things move faster. They think that young people like Gideon are easy prey-of course this is an unwise assumption.
The people around Gideon are ordinary pirates. They are not very clean. Their personal appearance is not their top priority. One of them is wearing a rubber hat and the other is almost bald. Both of them are missing. the teeth of.
The leader wore a captain's cocked hat with a bright red, velvet vest, which was much cleaner than people thought, with a pistol from shoulder to hip. A machete is hanging from a sheath, and a dagger has been slapped on his belt from his left hip and his right hand, just under his jacket.
The pirate captain said: "I see you have some shiny silver coins here." His voice was low and sinister. Obviously, he knew how to intimidate the people and use this for his own benefit.
Gideon prayed in a low voice under his breath, which he always did at this time. When he turned to face these people, Gideon noticed a light of surprise on their faces, and their smiles became more and more obvious. He was younger than they expected, which strengthened their self-confidence. It's like taking candy from a baby.
The captain showed his unkempt smile, "Well, you guys, turn your wallet over and we're on the road. You two don't need to be ashamed."
"No," Gideon said. The pirate captain did not expect to hear this word. Obviously, few people dared to say this to him-a person was implicated by such a thing.
Anger washed over the captain's face, while surprise covered his man's face. The captain grabbed the dagger he had been inserting under the flap on the left side of his vest and released the weapon. He tried to take it down with his right hand in order to quickly end the poor little cub standing in front of him.
Gideon followed a pre-set route without thinking, flowing through the pipe like water. He grabbed the captain's hand on his wrist and rotated it outward while forcing the entire arm to descend. From under his cloak, Gideon's left knee bends to reach the captain's elbow.
Limbs split at the joints, and Gideon used his right hand to take out a captain's pistol from the brace on his chest. Gideon raised the hammer and extended his arm in the direction of the pirate on the right. Before the pirate realized what had happened, he lifted the barrel of the gun under his chin.
"Tell them to retreat," Gideon said. He still held the captain's wrist and twisted his broken arm to emphasize his point.
The captain howled in pain, tears streaming from the dirt on his face, almost unable to give orders. "Get out! Get out!"
In a potentially fatal situation, no one died. The two people who were not blocked by the priest did not even have time to blink, when the situation completely changed from their superiority to the heavy begging of their captain. Both of them were stunned.
"Unleash the weapons of these people, Fan Fan," Gideon said.
Fan Fan obeyed happily and took away all the weapons he could find, including the captain's dagger that fell on the floor. After Fan Fan finished eating, a lot of weapons were placed on the bar next to their food.
No other customers moved. No one seems to be eager to rescue these pirates. Gideon approached the pirate captain's ear and twisted slightly. "If I were you, sir, I would let the doctor look at this arm. It will require quick and good treatment."
The captain gritted his teeth and sweated profusely, which only worsened the smell of the tired tourist hotel. Gideon let him go because the pirates flinched under Gideon's pistol. Two of his men tried to help their captain, but he refused. "Go away, you smelly mice! Don't touch it," he said, putting his arm protectively against his body. He staggered towards the door, and his men followed behind. "It's not over yet, boy," he spit, and the heavy door slammed shut.
Gideon purchased a pistol holder for himself, and handed the captain's knife and scabbard to Fan Fan. The rest he pushed across the bar and walked towards the guard who had just come out of the kitchen. "Can you take care of this for me?" Gideon said, pointing to the pile.
"Oh, yes, sir," said the bartender, remembering the silver coin he got. The barkeeper began to pull the weapon from the top of the mahogany bar and put it under.
"We will eat the rest of the meal in our room," Gideon said.
"Of course, sir, everything is ready for you, room seven, the fourth room on the right, go up the stairs. I will arrange for you to go to Emmanuel and let you know when your ship leaves."
"Thank you." Gideon grabbed the pitcher and Fan Fan picked up the food on the plate. The young man crossed the room and went upstairs. They found that their room was just as the bar owner said. Gideon opened the door carefully to see what was inside.
There is a big bed, ** has a basic wooden frame. The sheets didn't look very clean, and there was a heavy brown blanket on it. Leaning against the wall, on the opposite side of the bed, there is a simple box and two drawers. A ceramic basin and a pot for washing are placed on it. A small table with two chairs sat in the corner.
Fan Fan took a pitcher from Gideon, put it on the table, and put it on the plate. Fanfan didn't speak until Gideon closed the door. "This is amazing, Gideon!" he said.
Gideon just smiled.
"I can't wait for you to teach me how to fight," Fan Fan said.
"Fan Fan, as a warrior priest, there is still a lot to do."
"Well, yes, of course."
"Do you know what the first thing I did there? When I faced violent conflict, what was the first thing I did?"
Fan Fan shrugged.
"I pray to God for his guidance and strength. At the beginning, there is an important lesson you should learn. No matter how successful a fighter is, there will always be a better person, some situations that you cannot handle. But Nothing can confuse Satan, Fan Fan, everything is under his divine control and bound by his will. If you always seek Satan’s will, then you will always find it. Now, let Let's eat some of that food, okay?" To comfort, Gideon took off his cloak. They divided the rest of the meals to Fan Fan, so that Gideon could eat more.
"Do you think those people will come back for revenge?" Fan Fan asked while chewing on bread.
"Maybe, people like that will never learn." (to be continued) (end of this chapter)
