The gaze that Zheng Yuanzhou cast made the two of them feel like a thorn on their backs. She no longer said polite words and said to William with one blow: "How can you tell me who knows the owner of this pendant?"

"I've seen it. And it has an abbreviation on the back."

"A.T can be the abbreviation of many names. It can be Alan Thompson or Armand Taylor." Zheng Yuanzhou was not convinced by this statement, "This does not mean anything."

"It's Arthur Thomas." William corrected. Judging from the conversation between the Zheng sisters just now, Arthur had done an earth-shaking thing on their territory. They could not let Arthur go easily, nor could they know nothing about him. He would rather believe that this was Zheng Yuanzhou deliberately misleading and temptation.

Zheng Yuanzhou didn't say anything, she looked at William quietly and waited for him to continue talking.

It was so dangerous. William thought that he was walking a tightrope on the shark pond, with a confused Charles on his back. He tried to make his voice sound calm and believable, "The rose blooms on the cross, which is the symbol of the Invisible Academy. He is one of them."

"The Invisible Academy may also have a member named Alfred Turner." Zheng Yuanzhou continued to challenge William's answer.

The boy felt her deliberate tit-for-tat and showed unwavering determination. "I engraved this abbreviation." He then thought that she might ask himself to prove it. He could not prove it.

Zheng Yuanzhou flipped over the pendant and looked again, not chasing this issue. She changed the subject, "What kind of understanding do you know?"

Sure enough, we still have to return to this question in the end. The big guys in the shark pond can bite themselves as long as they jump up, and there is a female pirate leader behind them who can push themselves down at any time. William was sweating in his heart and replied with a tough bullet: "He is my uncle."

Xiaochun suddenly looked up and stared at him. Zheng Yuanzhou looked calm, "It looks quite like it."

They have seen it! William secretly thanked that he hadn't made up lies just now. He showed a confused look and looked at Zheng Yuanzhou in surprise. "I haven't seen him for many years. I... I have been trying to find him." This is true. He believes that his eyes must be particularly sincere now.

"What are you looking for him to do?"

"He's missing. They say he's dead... but I don't believe it." William said, "He must be alive!"

I don’t know if it was his earnestness and persistence that touched the other party or for some other reason, Zheng Yuanzhou smiled. “You have a good relationship?”

"I relied on him when I was a kid. From a certain perspective, he was the person who influenced me the most."

"But he hasn't contacted you." She was too keen. It was terrible. William did not avoid Zheng Yuanzhou's gaze, nor did he deny it. He did not intend to take the initiative to mention the letter sent from Plymouth.

She put the pendant back into the wooden box. "Your relationship is not equal."

"Sister..." Xiaochun wanted to speak but stopped, as if he was unwilling to give up.

"He knows little about him. We can't dig out anything." Zheng Yuanzhou was too lazy to say more. She raised her hand to the two young men and said, "Drink tea."

The two of them dared not to obey. In addition, the dry mouth caused by nervousness, they picked up the teacup and sucked the cows and drank them. Xiaochun frowned when she watched from the side.

"Can we still let us go back?" Charles put down his teacup and mustered up the courage to ask the question he had been holding back for a long time. From the conversation just now, they seemed to have gotten rid of some bad suspicions.

"I'm afraid I can't." Zheng Yuanzhou refused apologetically. "We have no plans to go to war with the British. Your experience is likely to trigger their hostility towards Zheng." She continued to comfort her, "I can guarantee your safety 100%. After all... we still have some business dealings. I don't want to break the relationship."

"We promise not to speak out!" Charles was so anxious that he was about to jump up. He didn't want to be a eunuch at all. "It was the Dutch who captured us, it has nothing to do with you!" He turned his head and looked at William as if he asked for help, "Right!"

William did not answer, his face looked very bad.

Facing Charles' desire gaze, Zheng Yuanzhou remained indifferent. Her answering eyes seemed to be saying, "Can I believe you?"

"Businessmen are always risk averse." Zheng Yuanzhou said lightly after a while. She put on her glasses again and planned to continue to work hard. "I'm really sorry."

"You can't do this!" Charles shouted angrily.

"I have to do this."

"This decision is too selfish!"

"I can only make selfish decisions." Zheng Yuanzhou put down the document he had just picked up and stared at Charles seriously. The atmosphere suddenly became serious.

"Faced with the vast and boundless lonely sea, how should a group of women stand? The sea is cruel and ruthless, we have to face storms, thunder and huge waves. There are pirates on the sea, and there are more malicious intruders; in the eyes of men, we are just talking animals. We should be robbed into the fences they circled, weaving, cooking, and having children." This woman who is no longer young is like a queen who is not angry and powerful, making people dare not disobey. "We deal with heaven and earth, deal with people, and gaining the capital to settle down for ourselves. Sisters and families are more important than anything else. We do not believe in having eternal allies, and there is no word "eternity" in front of interests - except for interests themselves."

This is not only for Charles, but also for Xiaochun. She did not preach the leisure and leisure of outsiders, but now she is just taking the opportunity to beat this reckless little girl.

Zheng Yuanzhou supported the tortoiseshell frame. "I would like to express my sincere apology again. Our conversation ends here."

Charles was still waiting to speak, but William grabbed him. He winked at this stubborn partner and signaled him not to touch the queen's reverse scales again.

At this moment, someone pushed the door and walked gently to the desk and whispered to the elder sister.

“Let’s wait.”

Zheng Yuanzhou's voice stopped the two young men who had already walked towards the door.

William clenched his fists quietly. The feeling of his heart beating wildly came again.

"My sisters found something interesting when they examined your clothes." Zheng Yuanzhou said slowly, "It seems to have a connection with what we have lost. I was thinking," she said softly, but there was no less meaning in the questioning. "Did you hide anything else in the conversation just now?"

"I don't understand what you mean." William turned around to face her doubts. Then he saw Regurus who was pinched in his hand by the Queen of the Sea. As soon as he changed his clothes, several Zheng's women entered the house to take away their clothes. He couldn't have time to take out the pendant placed in the inner bag.

"This is not a natural creation, nor is it an ordinary object available everywhere - don't rush to argue, you should be very clear about what this is." Zheng Yuanzhou stopped talking for a long time, and she tortured him with terrible silence. "I said Arthur Thomas had never contacted you, and you did not deny it."

"Is there any relationship between the two?" William looked at her. He no longer needed the answer. He believed that the result he had speculated must be very close to the truth of the matter.

——What Arthur took was related to the mysterious alchemy, to the unpredictable Stone of the Sage, which caused countless people to pursue frantically, and to the rumored myth of immortality.

“I said before we started the conversation, I want to listen to the truth.”

Zheng Yuanzhou shook his head regretfully and buried his head in the voluminous documents again.

The snow water in the sand pot was still boiling, and Laojun Mei in the tea lotus had gone a little, and the water was sinking and Gala burned silently.

The calm and rising incense line suddenly scattered, as if it was cut into several segments by an invisible blade. It was the flow of the wind, and someone moved the air.

The sound of weapons suddenly ejecting from the sheath in the quiet room.
