48 Hours a Day

Neither persuasion nor lure had any effect, and there was no direct use of force. Karina looked to Zhang Heng beside her and wondered what else the latter could do.

Zhang Heng didn't get up or say anything. He just sat quietly on the couch. After a moment, a carriage arrived outside the door.

The black man's face was puzzled, "Mr. Buffon was earlier than usual this time. ”

However, the carriage stopped and came down from above a pale young man, who seemed to have been stabbed in the eye by the sun above his head, stretching his hand in front of his face.

When the black man saw the visitor, his face suddenly changed and he wanted to close the door, but the young man stood in place for a while and had come back to his senses. When he saw the black man and Carmen in the room, his eyes lit up, he ran this way, but his body was obviously emptied and his footsteps were very vague, so he started gasping after two steps.

Carmen's face showed helplessness to the Negro, “Drew, go get him. ”

The black man was somewhat dissatisfied, but the master couldn't help but walk up and try to squeeze a smile, “Mr. Gary...”

But before he finished, he was pushed away by the latter, "Get out of the way. ”

The young man scolded impatiently and walked into the house and went straight to Carmen Road, "I've been a little tight lately, give me some more money. ”

Although Karina was dissatisfied with Carmen's uncooperative attitude, the guy in front of her was so arrogant, the businesswoman had yet to see such honesty in asking for money, and the way he looked at it was obviously opium smoking too much.

Carmen tried to squeeze a smile out of her, though she was reluctant, "Wait a minute, Gary, I'll take care of what's going on and send these two Guests away for a chat. ”

“What, am I delaying your reception to make money? ”

The young man had just been slapped in the face, Carmen could no longer hold on to his anger and his chest fluctuated sharply.

Karina also looked away and whispered to Zhang Heng beside her, “This is the friend you found, who is he? ”

“Carmen's brother-in-law had no use other than to cause trouble. Carmen's dead husband asked Carmen to take care of his brother before he died. Unlike many people, Carmen and her husband actually had a good relationship. If her husband had not died too early, she would not have made money in this way. By the way, he was not my friend, my friend was in the back. ”

Zhang Heng saw an old man holding a pipe in his hand and walked into the house. He took off his hat and said hello to Carmen, and then nodded to Zhang Heng.

“Who are you? ”

“Clay King, the owner of Buddhist House.” The old man grinned.

Carmen's heart had a bad feeling, "Don't know what Mr. Klein was doing here? ”

“Oh, Mr. Gary, for the time being, could Miss Carmen please make it up to him? ”

“How much?”

“A total of 72 gold coins. ”

“How is that possible?” Carmen laughed furiously, "How long did he stay in your buffet house? Even if he stayed for three months, he wouldn't need so many gold coins. ”

“Of course, I'm just a representative, and these seventy-two gold coins are not just spent by Mr. Gary here, but also by the casino, the cigarette hall all added up… Oh, this is the bill signed by Mr. Gary, who can testify here himself.” Clay handed over the bill.

“You set me up?” Carmen took the bill and looked back at Zhang Heng in the couch.

The latter did not deny, "The repayment date is today, and if it is overdue, Mr. Gary will be sold to the mine for hard work, so it is up to you, Mrs. Smith. ”

Today Zhang Heng is different from when he first came to the island. The Cold Raven is now Nassau's most powerful pirate. In contrast, Zhang Heng no longer always needs to fight alone, as usual. His network of relationships has become enriched. Although core things like dealing with Malcolm can only be done by a few trusted people such as him and Billy, but little things like dealing with Carmen, Clay and others are happy to help.

Carmen trembled, it was impossible for her to take out such a large sum of money immediately, not to mention that she herself had no interest in Gary, even wanted to simply use this opportunity to solve the trouble, but the thought of the deceased husband's entrustment to her softened her heart, she and Smith had no children, which was the only thing Smith had asked her to do before he died.

No matter how much she hated Gary, she couldn't have watched the latter being sold to the mine.

Zhang Heng reiterated once again: "We do not have any contradictions with Mr. Eugene. On the contrary, we want to help him solve the troubles he has been having. You should also have heard about what happened between me and the Black Business Coalition and made my position clear. ”

Carmen snorted into silence, and halfway through, she sighed, “I know what you want to know. If I told you, would you let Gary go? ”

Zhang Heng nodded, “You can get my word. ”

Clay didn't want to get involved in the Cold Crow and the Black Business Coalition fight, so he wasn't going to listen to Carmen, patted Gary on the shoulder, giggled, "Come on, there's an interesting show going on in the store. Don't you want to try it? ”

“Really?” Gary smelled a surprise on his face. "Was it for me? ”

“Yeah, the girls miss you a lot. ”

Gary rubbed his hand, "What are you waiting for? Go back! ”

Since Carmen promised to take care of his debt, he has had little interest in the former until he left without even saying thank you.

But Carmen wasn't surprised, obviously, by the fact that the black man changed the tea for the two of them and said, “Eugene has an illegitimate son, you know? ”

"It is said that his relationship with Eugene was very rigid and he left Nassau at a very young age," Karina said. ”

“Eugene still attached great importance to the child, who later paid a great deal to find him. ”

“Did he find it? ”

Carmen nodded, “Yes, I found it. The boy later went to Navy school, graduated four years ago, became a young officer, and looked at him well, and Eugene never bothered him until one day Malcolm found Eugene, threatened him with the child, and made Eugene work for him. ”

“How did Malcolm do that? ”

“Before leaving Nassau, the child had worked on a pirate boat for a short period of time, perhaps only two weeks, but during that period they robbed a merchant ship carrying cotton, the pirates killed the captain and first mate and some of the more resistant sailors, although there were about five or six people left, two of whom were later rescued by passing merchant boats and successfully returned to Nassau, where they now work under Malcolm. ”
