Neither persuasion nor temptation had any effect, and she could not use force directly. Karina looked at Zhang Heng who was aside, wondering what else the latter could do.
Zhang Heng didn't get up, and didn't say anything, just sat quietly on the sofa. After a while, another carriage drove up outside the door.
There was a look of doubt on the black man's face, "Mr. Buffon came earlier than usual this time."
However, the carriage stopped, and a pale young man came down from it. He seemed to be blinded by the sun above his head, and he stretched out his hand to cover his face.
The black man's expression changed suddenly when he saw the person coming, and he wanted to close the door, but the young man stood there for a while, and then he came back to his senses, seeing the eyes of the black man and Carmen in the room lit up, and they ran towards this side, However, his body had obviously been hollowed out, and his footsteps were also very flimsy, and he started panting after only two steps.
Carmen showed helplessness on his face, and said to the black man, "Drew, go help him up."
The black man was a little dissatisfied, but he had no choice but to walk up to the master, trying to force a smile, "Mr. Gary..."
But he was pushed away by the latter before he finished speaking, "Don't get in the way."
Cursing impatiently, the young man walked into the house and said directly to Carmen, "I'm a little tight recently, please give me some more money."
Although Karina was dissatisfied with Carmen's uncooperative attitude, this guy in front of her was too arrogant. The businesswoman had never seen someone who asked for money so confidently, and judging by his appearance, it was obvious that he had sucked too much opium.
Although Carmen was a bit reluctant, she managed to squeeze out a smile, "Wait a minute, Gary, I'll take care of the matter in front of me and send these two guests away so we can talk again."
"Why, did I delay you to pick up customers and make money?"
As soon as the young man finished speaking, he was slapped across the face. Carmen couldn't hold back the anger in her heart anymore, and her chest heaved sharply.
Karina was also dumbfounded, and asked Zhang Heng in a low voice, "This is the friend you found, who is he?"
"Carmen's deceased husband's younger brother has no other use except to cause trouble. Before Carmen's deceased husband died, he asked Carmen to help him take care of his younger brother. Unlike many people think, Carmen and her husband actually have a very good relationship. If it hadn't been for her husband's death It's too early and she doesn't have to use this method to make money, by the way, he is not my friend, my friend is behind."
After Zhang Heng finished speaking, he saw an old man with a pipe in his hand also walk into the room, took off his hat, said hello to Carmen, and then nodded to Zhang Heng.
"you are?"
"Clay King, the boss of the brothel." The old man said with a smile.
An ominous premonition rose in Carmen's heart, "I don't know what Mr. Clay is doing here?"
"Oh, Mr. Gary's consumption during this time, please Miss Carmen to settle it for him."
"How much?"
"A total of seventy-two gold coins."
"How is this possible?" Carmen laughed angrily, "How long has he stayed in your brothel, even if he stayed for three months, it wouldn't cost so many gold coins."
"Of course, I'm just a representative. These seventy-two gold coins are not only the expenses of Mr. Gary here, but also the casino and the smokehouse... Oh, this is the bill signed by Mr. Gary. Mr. Gary is here, He himself can testify." Clay handed over the bill.
"You set up a trick to deal with me?" Carmen took the bill and looked at it twice, then turned to look at Zhang Heng who was on the sofa.
The latter did not deny, "The repayment date is today. If it is overdue, Mr. Gary will be sold to the mine to do hard labor to pay off the debt, so the decision is up to you, Mrs. Smith."
Today's Zhang Heng is different from when he first came to the island. The Jackdaw is now the most powerful pirate in Nassau. In contrast, Zhang Heng no longer needs to fight alone as usual. The relationship network has also become richer. Although the core things like dealing with Malcolm can only be done by a few trustworthy people such as him and Billy, but for small things like dealing with Carmen, Clay and others Still happy to help.
Carmen trembled angrily. It was impossible for her to take out such a large sum of money immediately. Besides, she didn't have any good feelings for Gary. She even wanted to use this opportunity to solve this problem. Her heart softened again. She and Smith had no children, which was the only thing Smith asked her to do before he died.
No matter how much she hated Gary, it was impossible for her to watch the latter being sold to the mine.
Zhang Heng reiterated, "We don't have any conflicts with Mr. Eugene, on the contrary, we also want to help him solve his troubles all the time. You should have heard about the matter between me and the Black Merchants Alliance, and you know my position. "
Carmen fell into silence after hearing the words, and finally sighed after a while, "I know what you want to know, if I told you, would you let Gary go?"
Zhang Heng nodded, "You can get my guarantee."
Clay didn't want to get involved in the battle between the Jackdaw and the Black Merchants Alliance, so he didn't intend to listen to Carmen's next words, so he patted Gary on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Let's go, there's an interesting thing just happened in the store." Don't you want to try the show?"
"Really?" Gary had surprise on his face when he heard this, "Is it specially prepared for me?"
"Yeah, the girls miss you a lot."
Gary rubbed his hands, "Then what are you waiting for, go back quickly!"
Since Carmen agreed to deal with his debts, he had no interest in the former, and he didn't even say thank you until he left.
However, Carmen was obviously not surprised by this result. After asking the black man to change the tea for the two of them, he said, "Eugene has an illegitimate child, do you know?"
Karina said, "It is said that his relationship with Eugene was very stiff, and he left Nassau when he was very young."
"Eugene still attaches great importance to that child, and later he paid a lot of money to ask someone to find that child."
"Did he find it?"
Carmen nodded, "I found it. The kid entered the Naval Academy and graduated four years ago. He became a young officer. Seeing that he was doing well, Eugene didn't bother him until one day Mal Kom went to Eugene, threatened him with the kid, and made Eugene do things for him."
"How did Malcolm do it?"
"The kid worked on a pirate ship for a short period of time before leaving Nassau, maybe only two weeks, but during this time they robbed a merchant ship carrying cotton, and the pirates killed the captain and The first mate still had some sailors who resisted fiercely, but there were still about five or six people left, two of whom were later rescued by a passing merchant ship and returned to Nassau successfully, and now they are working under Malcolm .”
