Chapter 198 Betty (Happy Christmas Eve)

"It doesn't matter, we have nothing to do, and we are here to help you." Zhang Heng said.

Seth's smile was a little forced, and then a woman's voice came from the room, "What's the matter, Seth, are there any guests?"

"It's Sean, and... uh, two friends."

"Won't you invite them in?"

"I almost forgot," Seth patted his head, "The house is quite messy, so don't mind."

After saying that, he moved the chairs outside the house back into the house. Zhang Heng and the other three followed him and walked in together.

"Tracy, go make some coffee for the guests." Seth said to a plump woman in the room, who must be his wife who just married him. He nodded and walked into the kitchen. After a while Her voice came again, "Seth, do you know where the coffee beans Beth just sent are?"

"Oh, I know where it is. I'll go get it." Seth said as he went up to the second floor.

Half a minute later, the woman named Tracy came out of the kitchen, holding a plate of mangoes in her hand. "Sorry, Seth put away all the kitchen utensils and everything. Now there is only some fruit left at home."

Zhang Heng thanked him after taking the fruit. He chatted with Cui Xi for a while. The latter was very talkative and answered all questions without hesitation. After a few words, Zhang Heng was almost sure that Seth was not. Tell her what happened on the Clark ship. She didn't know anything about last night and only thought that Tracy spent the night at the new house.

Zhang Heng and Annie looked at each other and were basically sure that Seth was the person they were looking for. They just waited for him to come downstairs and have a showdown with him.

However, Sean on the side muttered, "Does it take so long to get coffee?"

Trish was a little embarrassed, "I'll go hurry him up."

After saying that, she walked to the storage room aside, and Sean reminded her, "Seth is on the second floor."

"Second floor?" Trish was stunned when he heard this, "But we just emptied the second floor, and there's nothing there anymore."

Zhang Heng rushed up immediately after hearing the words, but the second floor was already empty. One of the rooms had a wide open window. Zhang Heng looked through the window and saw people running wildly on the street below and looking back. Seth turned to Annie and said.

"Split up and chase."

This can't be completely blamed on his lack of caution. After all, Zhang Heng came here just to talk with Seth, and he didn't intend to use any strong methods. The latter only broke into Vincent's residence at night and scared the young ship doctor. Half-Dead didn't do anything too extreme, and logically there was no reason to run away as soon as they met.

But it was useless to talk about this kind of thing now. Annie had already rushed downstairs, and Zhang Heng also climbed out of the window and jumped to the top of another house with a cry of exclamation.

He didn't mean to play Assassin's Creed, mainly because this area is a bit similar to Smoked Fish Alley, a famous slum area in Nassau. However, unlike Smoked Fish Alley, the buildings here are mainly residential, and the layout is messy, making it difficult to escape. This is very advantageous, and Seth has lived here for a long time, so he is more familiar with the terrain than Zhang Heng, who just came here.

Only by using this method can Zhang Heng occupy a favorable observation position and ensure that he does not lose anyone. In comparison, it is much more convenient for Anne. She only needs to follow Zhang Heng on the roof below.

At this time, Seth also saw the pursuers behind him. However, instead of stopping, he ran faster. At the same time, he kept changing directions and used the surrounding terrain to block the view behind him. Unfortunately, he could not get rid of the condescending Zhang Heng. He also seemed to be getting more and more impatient.

When Zhang Heng moves on the roof, he doesn't have to face the complex environment on the ground. He can just choose to move in a straight line. His balance has been trained very well in this year and a half of living at sea. Although the place where he lands is uneven, He can always keep his center of gravity stable.

Seeing that Seth was getting closer and closer, Zhang Heng estimated that he could jump off the roof in ten more steps, but he did not expect to fail at the most critical moment. The roof he just jumped on was probably in disrepair. Suddenly it cracked in the middle. Zhang Heng reacted as quickly as possible and grabbed a wooden beam as his body fell. However, the wooden beam also broke in the next moment.

Seeing Zhang Heng fall into a small building, Seth's face showed a hint of joy.

But then a figure rushed out from the alley to his left. Without saying a word, the figure directly kicked Seth in the chest. The latter's body flew up uncontrollably and hit a wooden frame nearby. Seth Regardless of the pain in his back, Si quickly climbed up from the ground, but he limped less than two steps before a saber appeared on his neck.

After a while, Zhang Heng also walked out of the small building next to him in disgrace.

He gave two gold coins to the old man who was sunbathing at the door, and then walked up to Seth.

"Why run away?"

Seth closed his mouth and said nothing.

"You were the one who disguised himself as a monster and sneaked into Vincent's room last night, right?" Zhang Heng added.

After hearing this, Seth finally had an expression on his face and began to look panicked.

"How did you do that storm we encountered at sea before? Is it related to what you found on the Clark ship?" Zhang Heng continued.

This time Seth finally couldn't keep calm anymore. Before, he was still holding a trace of luck in his heart. Zhang Heng came to him for other things. After all, he was the only one present when the incident happened. No one else should have seen it. And most people would not associate him with the storm that followed.

Seth didn't know how Zhang Heng suspected him.

It has to be said that after two successful voyages, Zhang Heng's prestige among the crew has indeed reached an astonishing level. Seth hesitated for a moment and finally spoke.

"Sorry Captain, I...I didn't find that thing, she found me."

"She?" Annie raised her eyebrows.

"After we separated, a woman's voice rang in my ears. She called herself Betty. I searched the warehouse but couldn't find the source of the voice."

"Betty?" Zhang Heng is no stranger to this name. This name has appeared countless times in that collection of love poems. Before, Zhang Heng thought Betty was the captain's wife or lover, but now let's look at the owner of this name. I'm afraid it's not simple.

"Why didn't you tell us about this then?" the red-haired girl asked.

"I thought there was something wrong with my own mind at that time," Seth said. "The woman named Betty warned me that if I told you about this, you would think you were crazy and throw me on the ship."

Sorry, sorry, this chapter is too late
