I really don't want to be the pirate king

The sky was covered with dark clouds, and fine raindrops fell from the sky, forming a thin rain curtain, making the distant scene much blurry.

Aaron was wearing a black suit and holding a black umbrella in his hand. He stood at the back of the crowd and silently mourned.

Today is the funeral of Mr. Spencer, the former patriarch of the Huntington family and the father of Factory Director Hamid.

Mr. Spencer's life was very legendary. He built the Huntington Shipyard, invested in the Silver Crown Chamber of Commerce, and co-founded the Badgar Liquor Group, and developed Gray Goose Vodka, which became popular in the Western Sea.

Not only that, he also invested in agricultural companies, mainly growing grains and potatoes as raw materials for vodka production.

Most importantly, he participated in the revitalization of the town of Stadt, becoming one of the five members of the city council and able to lead policy and industrial changes throughout the town.

Mr. Spencer died two days ago and was buried today. Many prominent people from the town of Stadt came to the funeral.

At this moment, the priest was reciting a eulogy in front of the coffin. The members of the Huntington family around him were sobbing quietly. Hamid's eyes were red and swollen, and his face was covered with tears.

After the priest finished reading the eulogy, the coffin was lifted and placed in the grave, and everyone came forward to comfort the family members of the deceased.

"Mr. Hamid, my condolences."

Aaron came to him, held his hand, and said sincerely: "Please take care of yourself, the Huntington family still needs you."

"I see."

Hamid held his hand tightly and said seriously: "Aaron, I have too many things to be responsible for. The shipyard will need you to work harder in the future."

Mr. Hamid took over the family and was responsible for more and more industries, and was no longer able to do everything in the shipyard.

He plans to give up the position of Huntington Shipyard to the current deputy director, and he has publicly stated that the position of deputy director will be given to Aaron.

"I will work hard."

Aaron said that he was full of expectations for the upcoming new position.

As a foreman of a shipyard, his current monthly income has risen to 60 beli. If he becomes the deputy director, his monthly income can reach one million beri.

There is also a bonus at the end of the year. It should not be a problem to reach 500 million beli a year. The income is extremely considerable.

Although Aaron's contribution to the shipyard is not small and his ability is strong enough, in four years, he was promoted from an ordinary worker to deputy director. The promotion speed is not unpleasant, especially since he is only 24 years old, his salary and salary have already exceeded Many senior qualifications are inseparable from Hamid's attention.

Therefore, Aaron was also somewhat grateful to Hamid and did not intend to betray his trust.

After a few words of comfort, Aaron left Hamid, placed the white flowers on his chest in front of the grave, turned and walked away.

But at this time, he saw a middle-aged man standing on the periphery of the people, looking at this scene angrily.

That person... seems to be Hamid's brother, Herman.

He is the eldest son of Mr. Spencer and originally had the first right of inheritance. However, in the past few years, the liquor group he was responsible for has suffered heavy losses.

In order to make a career, he chose to develop a new brand and planned to make rum.

Rum is the best-selling distilled liquor in the West Sea. It is the favorite of sailors and has gradually become the favorite alcohol of urban residents.

Herman wanted to develop rum, which was a good idea, especially since he was backed by a liquor industry group and had mature distribution and management experience. It can be said that half of the work was done.

But he ignored some problems. The main material of rum is sugar cane, and sugar cane requires fertile land, sufficient sunlight, and a large enough temperature difference between day and night.

Sugar cane is mostly grown in tropical areas, and the area where the town of Stadt is located is difficult to meet the conditions for planting.The sugar cane that grows is thin and short, and does not contain enough sugar at all.

So he needed to purchase a large amount of sugar cane from abroad. It went smoothly at first, with the contract signed at low cost and timely delivery.

But when it came time to renew the purchase contract, he encountered a price increase from the sugarcane merchant, and he signed a delivery contract with the dealer. As a result, he had to purchase sugarcane at a high price. The cost was very high. In addition, the distribution channel was attacked by pirates. The squeeze from other rum brands meant that the rum they produced could not be sold at all, resulting in huge losses.

Herman thought it was Hamid who was responsible and made a big fuss, but there was no evidence, so he had no choice but to let it go.

The losses he caused to the wine group also aroused Mr. Spencer's dissatisfaction. In addition, Hamid made the Huntington Shipyard prosperous, and other members of the family were on Hamid's side, so Spencer Sai left most of his property to Hamid, including the liquor conglomerate.

In particular, the position of councilor in the town of Stadt will also be inherited by Hamid, and a succession ceremony will be held next Wednesday.

So it is normal for Herman to resent Hamid.

Aaron was not interested in the disputes between the Huntington family and left the cemetery. After returning to the town, he went to buy some ingredients.

He returned home with the ingredients, opened the door and walked in, and heard a banging sound from inside.

After entering the house and putting the ingredients into the kitchen, Aaron walked through the corridor and entered the gym.

Boom, boom.

Robin's hand was wrapped with a bandage and he was punching the sandbag in front of him.

The sandbag was 1.2 meters high, filled with iron sand and weighed more than [-] kilograms. It was hung on the roof with an iron chain, but it was easily knocked away by Robin.

She punched the sandbag, and the sandbag flew towards the opposite side. After reaching a certain distance, it fell and rebounded. Robin's left fist had followed up and hit the sandbag. Power spurted out, and the sandbag swayed again.

Robin kept hitting the sandbags faster and faster, and his fists formed a shadow, so fast that no one could see it.

The force of her punches decreased, and the sandbag was no longer blown away, but remained tilted and hovered in the air.

After dozens of punches, Robin took a step back, took a breath, and suddenly pulled back his right arm. After accumulating strength, he hit the surface of the sandbag with a heavy punch.

boom.

The sandbag swung up quickly, flying upwards with the chain as the center. After getting close to the ceiling, it fell downwards.

It's amazing.

Compared to the thin and timid little girl when she first came home, Robin is much stronger now, has become more confident, and has greatly improved her combat power, as if she is a different person.

Robin has undergone such a huge change because of himself, and he doesn't know what impact it will have on the future.

However, if Robin can become strong and have the power to protect himself, it won't be that important if the future is not the future.

Robin pressed his fist against the sandbag. After it stopped, he turned around and saw Aaron standing there. He smiled and said hello, "You're back? Have you got the groceries?"

"Yeah, right in the kitchen."

Aaron nodded and said, "I also brought back the chocolate mousse cake I ordered this morning. It didn't have too much sugar. I put it on the table in the restaurant."

"Got cake to eat?"

Robin's eyes lit up and she jogged out of the gym.

"Go take a shower first."

Aaron said angrily: "My body is covered in sweat and stinks. Go change your clothes."

"understood."

Robin's reluctant voice came from the distance.
