Chapter 200 Showdown
Zhang Heng and Annie found the cause of the storm, but what happened on the Clark ship was probably only known to the ancient god named Betty.
Zhang Heng didn't know whether it was because he was on land now, but the other party didn't come to him after he got the shell. However, Zhang Heng did not take it lightly. He returned to the Jackdaw as soon as possible and used The knife cut off the ancient Celtic name on the top of the mast, and then found the businesswoman and asked her to send people to the colony to find tule trees.
According to the bartender, a wooden box made of the latter can isolate supernatural forces. It just so happens that this kind of tree grows in Oaxaca, Mexico. If Zhang Heng remembers correctly, it should be a Spanish colony now.
If everything goes well, he will be able to get the wooden box of the tule tree next time he goes to sea and comes back. Unfortunately, this thing is not a game prop. Otherwise, Zhang Heng really wants to bring a pack of copies directly, so that he does not have to worry about game props in the future. Storage problem.
Before that, Zhang Heng could only keep this thing with him temporarily in order to prevent the ancient god named Betty from tempting others.
On the other side, Karina's investigation into the mole is finally coming to an end.
The men she sent out to monitor reported to her that Malcolm had just left the manor in a carriage in a low-key manner and visited Captain Bubble. This was also one of the false intelligence given by the businesswoman, but Malcolm was obviously very alert. Ten minutes later, he left Barber's residence. Instead of going to the next person on the list, he went to visit an unrelated person, hoping to confuse the situation in this way.
However, Karina had basically determined her target. She found Ma Long, who for the first time stopped fooling around in the theater. Instead, he was prepared and took out the saber that he had not used for a long time from the box.
When he took out the short musket from the bottom of the box, the businesswoman took a deep breath and stretched out her hand.
Malone handed over the short musket in his hand, "Are you sure it's just the two of us who are going, and you don't need me to deploy a few more people on the ship?"
The businesswoman filled the gunpowder and bullets into the barrel and said, "If you are right, he did this for his sister. I don't want everyone to know about this. I will go directly after we finish asking what we want to ask." Just let him go, and since Jim has always been engaged in accounting work, he doesn’t have much force, so the two of us should be enough.”
Ma Long nodded, "This is best. Don't worry, I'm not that old yet. I'm confident that I won't lose to anyone in a duel."
"If your belly was smaller, this sentence would be more convincing." Karina finished filling and inserted the short musket behind her back. No abnormalities could be seen from the front.
She asked Malone, "How do I look now?"
"It's like taking a walk in the park," the latter praised.
"Let's go. If it's too late, Malcolm might send someone to tip off the news." Karina took the lead and walked downstairs.
After getting the news, the two of them didn't waste any time and rushed directly to Jim's location. The latter was arranged by the businesswoman to inspect the new warehouse location today.
As the situation on the island gradually opened up, the original small warehouse at the second-hand goods trading office was no longer enough. Karina was also looking for a new warehouse location during this time, using this as an excuse to move Jim alone. The latter raised little suspicion.
That area is not too far from the dock. There are two buildings in front and one behind. In addition, there is a large open space, which is very suitable for a warehouse.
But when they got there, Ma Long and Karina's expressions changed.
Karina saw a pool of fresh blood in the open space between the two buildings, and then a string of footprints staggered toward the small building behind.
"Oops, did Malcolm's people arrive first?" Malone said as he took out the saber from his waist and ran towards the building behind him.
He opened the door immediately, but there was no one inside, and there were no footprints on the dusty ground.
Ma Long's eyelids twitched, and for some reason an ominous premonition suddenly arose in his heart.
He turned around again and saw Karina behind him, holding a short musket and pointing the gun at him.
Malone's smile was a little forced, "What does this mean?"
"What do you think?" the businesswoman's voice sounded a little sad, "Uncle Malone, you have known my father for more than 20 years, right? You have been here since I was a child. You are like family to me. I never thought that one day you would betray me."
"What are you talking about? Didn't Jim leak the news?" Malone said as he moved a small step forward, but then Karina's finger was tightly placed on the trigger, making Malone Had to stop.
"The name I gave Jim is different from the name I gave you, or I should say that the name I gave to everyone who might leak the news is different. I just didn't expect that the last person would be you."
Ma Long raised his eyebrows, "You actually plotted against me?"
"I just... tried my best to consider all possibilities. This is what you taught me before, Uncle Malone."
"Should I be happy? You have grown up too fast during this period. No wonder even Malcolm has begun to worry about this. Even my father standing here now may not recognize you." Malone sighed. .
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw several people walking out from behind the small building, including a confused Jim, four sailors from the Jackdaw, and an unknown guy with his hands tied. He was Mal. The killer sent by Kom originally planned to kill Jim and pretend to kill Jim. This would confirm Jim's identity as the mole and no one would doubt Malone. However, in the end, he was killed by the killer who had been waiting here for a long time. The Jackdaw's sailors intercepted it.
"I have many questions to ask you, but the most important one is, does my father's imprisonment have anything to do with you, Uncle Malone?"
Malone shook his head after hearing this, "If Fagan was still here, I would never betray him under any circumstances. Malcolm's people found me after you and I went to the island, and I fell into a trap while having fun in the casino. After losing a large amount of money, a guy came to me and offered to repay the debt for me. He even promised to pay me an extra sum of money, but the condition was that I would pass on information to him when necessary, so that I would regret it. By the time it was too late, this was not my intention. I thought like everyone else that you would not be able to stay on the island long, so I could not find any reason to refuse the offer."
