The Huxing Empire's territorial waters were rife with pirates, and with the empire's power in decline, there was no one to deal with them. The coastal areas suffered greatly from their harassment, deterring many from taking official posts there, yet unexpectedly, Peter Brown chose to come here and develop an island.
Reynard Johnson couldn't understand Peter Brown's thinking and watched closely to see how Peter would manage his island.
Peter Brown wasn't concerned about what others thought. Now that he had the island, the possibilities for what he could do were vast.
However, Peter Brown had a severe shortage of people.
Naturally, Peter Brown turned his attention to the pirates.
Although these pirates weren't particularly capable, they could fight, and with them, Peter Brown had the manpower he needed.
Sitting cross-legged on the balcony, Peter Brown gazed toward the village, waiting for the fishermen to bring the pirates to him.
