Chapter 183 Smoked Fish Alley

Karina walked to the carriage, and Malone opened the door for her, but the businesswoman stopped and did not go up.

Karina looked across to the cafe, where Malcolm was eating lunch with a napkin on, and when she saw the businesswoman looking over, she gestured to her.

The latter hesitated for a moment, and finally walked over. Malone also wanted to follow, but was stopped by two muscular men outside the store. He was a little anxious, but Karina nodded at him and motioned for him It doesn't matter.

"What do you want to eat?" Malcolm cut off a piece of fried egg with a dining knife, and said to the businesswoman sitting in front of him, "I recommend the coffee and tuna sandwiches here, which taste very good."

"Just like you."

"Anyone who knows me well knows that I don't like people rejecting my suggestions," Malcolm said to the waiter at the side, "add coffee and fried eggs, and a tuna sandwich."

Karina smiled, and didn't get entangled in this trivial matter, and looked around, "I've been in Nassau for so long, but I haven't really walked around the city, and I don't even know there is a cafe here. "

"I don't blame you. This cafe is usually closed. It only opens when I am here. Sitting here will give me a feeling of returning to a civilized society."

"If you were ten years younger, maybe I couldn't help falling in love with you."

"Your father Fagan and I have known each other for a long time, but I never knew he had such an excellent daughter." Malcolm ate fried eggs and took a sip of coffee, "When you first appeared in front of me, I thought It's a liar who came out of nowhere, but now I believe that you are your father's daughter, both of you have the same characteristics, as long as you set a goal, you will never give up."

"Maybe it's because life doesn't even give us the right to give up." Karina thanked the waiter who brought the coffee.

"Are you still mad at me for what happened when you first came to the island?"

"Should I be angry?"

"Even if you're sitting in my seat, you can't do whatever you want." Malcolm put down the fork in his hand and wiped his hands with a napkin. In terms of position, you don’t just do what you want. People only see that the Black Merchants Alliance is powerful now, but they don’t know that it was not easy at the beginning of its establishment. We have to deal with threats from all sides, not only outside the alliance, but also inside the alliance. , there are too many trade-offs and compromises.”

"Sorry, what does this have to do with me?" The businesswoman asked back, "I have already taken what you are not willing to give me, and now I don't need anyone's pity anymore. I don't care about the cost of building this alliance I don’t care how important it is in your heart, if you just plan to play the emotional card with me today, then save it, I’m not as leisurely as you, and I still have a lot of things to do, so I’m sorry.”

Karina stood up.

"Don't you even care about your own father?" Malcolm said lightly.

The businesswoman's body was fixed in place, and a look of hatred flashed in her eyes, but thinking of what Laeli was doing now, she finally forcibly restrained her emotions, turned around, and tried her best to let her The voice sounded the same as usual, "My father?"

"I feel sorry for what happened to your father. An uncle in my family happens to have something to do with Earl Slaughter who imprisoned your father. Maybe I can help you to intercede with him and resolve this matter earlier." Malcolm looked into Karina's eyes and said, "You should also want your father to come out of prison, right?"

"What's the price?"

"Leaving Nassau, the batch of spices on the Jackdaw last time should have made you some money. With the ability of you and your father, with this money as start-up capital, you should be able to maintain it even if you start some other business. Let's go home."

Karina opened her mouth to say something, and Malcolm stretched out a finger, "This is not a deal, but I will give you the last chance for your father's sake, so that this matter can be resolved peacefully, you It should also be very clear that the little tricks you are playing now will not last long, and my patience has a limit."

"What if I refuse?" Karina said after a moment of silence.

Malcolm raised his eyebrows, a little surprised, "Maybe I really underestimated you, I always thought you came to the island just to make money to save your father, but now you have taken this matter as your career Isn't it, unfortunately, you came at the wrong time, I changed my mind now and don't want to drag you any longer, so the game and the time for reminiscing about the past are over, if you don't leave, then there may be cruel things happening next."

…………

A quarter of an hour later, Karina came out of the cafe, and Malone immediately greeted her, "How is it? He didn't make things difficult for you, did he?"

The businesswoman shook her head, "It's still the same old stuff. Malcolm thinks I'm still a little girl, and he thinks he can scare me away just by intimidation. Don't worry about him. The Jackdaw will be back soon after some time. Before that We also have to do our business well, there is still some stock in the warehouse, I'm afraid I have to trouble Uncle Ma Long to make another trip."

The captain of the Breeze nodded, "I've already purchased supplies, and I can leave the port after dark by transporting those items onto the ship."

"Very well, you go and prepare for going to sea. Next, I'm going to Smoked Fish Lane. Let's part here." Karina got into the carriage.

"Why don't we go together? The rest of the work won't take an afternoon. Smoked Fish Lane is the most chaotic place on the island, full of thieves and villains. A young girl shouldn't be in that kind of place alone. " Malone frowned.

"It's okay, I have friends there." Karina had already closed the car door, and left after saying "Be careful, Uncle Malone".

"It's appropriate for me to say this." Ma Long looked at the back of the carriage and said helplessly.

Half an hour later, the carriage stopped at the entrance of the alley, and Karina jumped out of the carriage, and a few punks squatting on the ground whistled at her. Although the businesswoman seemed relaxed when she replied to Ma Long, she couldn't help feeling a little nervous at this time. , but she has survived the pressure Malcolm put on her before, so it doesn't make sense to be frightened by a few hooligans here.

So the businesswoman took a deep breath and walked into the alley, but after walking not far, she bumped into a group of little ghosts, and even spilled cuttlefish juice on her body, Karina felt a little helpless, took out her handkerchief After wiping for a long time, she still didn't wipe it off, but at this time, misfortunes never come singly, she found that the few gangsters she met at the alley before were actually following her.
