"Excuse me, who are you?" Renault spoke cautiously.
"My ship is an exploration ship. The man you captured is my chief engineer." Charles stroked Lily's back gently, soothing the somewhat nervous gunner.
"Um, exploration ship..." Renault put down the gun under the table and looked very embarrassed.
The guys on the sea are hard to deal with, and the people on the exploration ship are even harder to deal with. Each of them has extraordinary abilities in order to explore those dangerous islands. God knows why a person like me who manages civilian crimes would get involved in such trouble.
Generally, the Governor's navy is responsible for dealing with these troublesome guys.
After hesitating for a while, Renault trotted over to close the door, and said with a bitter expression on his face: "If I killed someone without a backer, I would let him go for your sake, but your crew killed the brother of the Dagger Gang leader. If we let him go, we will be in big trouble here."
"Where's my crew? I need to see him." Charles asked.
"In the detention room, I'll take you there right away." Renault stood up and ran to open the door.
Under the watchful eyes of the black men with weapons outside the door, Charles walked into the place where the prisoners were held.
When James, who was hung up, saw Charles coming in, he became excited and struggled continuously.
Charles pulled the dirty cloth out of his mouth with a finger ring. "What's going on?"
"Captain! That guy took off Mojica's clothes in front of me! I... I really couldn't help it!" James' eyes were red.
Charles cut the handcuffs on his hands with the black blade, and the big man in front of him fell down directly.
"Sir, you can't...!" Renault behind him looked panicked.
"If anyone gives you trouble, just tell me my name. I live on the third floor of the Bat Hotel in the Port District."
As soon as he came out with James, Charles was keenly aware of the eyes behind him.
Apparently, the so-called Dagger Gang was also sending people to keep an eye on us.
"Take your wife and go to where I live." Charles turned calmly and said to James.
"Captain, I... I killed someone... What should I do? I don't want to go to jail, Mosica needs me." The big man looked confused.
"Do as I say and don't panic. This matter will be over soon." Charles patted him on the shoulder.
James forced himself to stay calm and nodded, rushing towards Mosica's bakery.
Soon, Charles' room became a little crowded, and Dipper squatted on the ground gnawing on the beef elbow that had already gone cold.
Odrick stood in the corner, shaking the glass of red liquid in his hand.
"Captain, your place is too small, why don't you buy a house?" Dipper said after swallowing the beef in his mouth.
Charles ignored the boatswain's complaint and turned to Lily and said, "Why did you call them over?"
"I'm afraid there might be danger. There's strength in numbers! I've asked my friends to call the others too. They should be on their way."
"No need, let them all go back. This is just a small matter and can be solved quickly."
"Don't be impulsive. If you can't even protect your own woman, I will really look down on you." Charles glanced at his wife.
She is not a stunning beauty, she has a pretty face and wears simple clothes, but she is extremely pleasing to the eyes.
Just then, there was a noise outside the window, and Dipper stood up and pushed the window open. "Captain, some guys are clearing the streets."
Charles walked over and saw a group of fierce-looking guys holding various guns in their hands, driving away the crowd on the street. Everyone had the same dagger tattoo on their neck.
A burly man with a tattoo on his face walked out from the crowd on the street. When he opened his mouth, he revealed a mouthful of rotten teeth.
"XXXX, damn it, good, you touched my people and dared to come to the port area to seek death. Today, I will let my brothers rape your woman in front of you! Get out here honestly!!"
Looking at the arrogance of these guys, Charles even felt a little uninterested. They were not even as good as the creatures in the sea.
He raised the revolver in his hand, and with a few "bangs", the oil lamps and gas lamps on the street went out.
Dipper put the mask over his face and jumped out of the window, and screams were heard from downstairs.
Odric on the side quickly turned into a bat and flew down.
Mosica in the house was frightened by the noise outside. Her face turned pale, she closed her eyes and hugged her husband tightly.
James comforted his wife softly, the tenderness in his eyes was completely inconsistent with his strong appearance.
Charles, who was standing nearby, felt that he was an eyesore for some reason. He propped himself on the window with one hand and flipped out of it.
Seeing his captain rushing out, James felt anxious and wanted to help, but his wife beside him prevented him from letting go.
"You...what do you do? You said you were just an ordinary sailor on a fishing boat. Do you think your captain looks like a fisherman?" Mosica looked at her husband with red eyes.
James showed a bitter look on his face, and he reached out and gently hugged his wife. "My dear, I'm sorry, I lied to you, but if the captain hadn't come to help us today, we wouldn't be able to come back. We should thank him."
Darkvision allowed Charles to see everything clearly. Under the cross-attacks of Dipper and Odrick, the so-called Dagger Gang was quickly defeated. The gang members who had been so arrogant just now, with fear on their faces, pulled the trigger towards the empty darkness.
Dipper calmly walked through the bullets and came directly in front of their boss. The dagger in his hand flashed, and his right hand holding the pistol fell to the ground.
The leader of the Dagger Gang covered his wrist and retreated screaming.
"You scum on this island, don't you understand the situation? You even dare to mess with the crew of the exploration ship?" The masked boy tilted his head and questioned him, with a hint of pride in his tone.
As if sensing danger, the guy said in panic: "I... I don't know! This is not my fault!! The big guy never said that he worked on the exploration ship. If my brother knew that he worked on the exploration ship, he would never dare to provoke him-."
Before he could finish, a black blade flew through the air and pierced directly into his neck. Scarlet blood splattered in the air. The man's eyes were full of disbelief before he died.
"Captain, can we wait for him to finish?" Dipper complained, then did a backflip and left.
