Chapter 242 Eugene’s Handle

Persuasion and inducement had no effect, and she couldn't use force directly. Karina looked at Zhang Heng aside, wondering what else the latter could do.

Zhang Heng didn't get up or say anything, he just sat quietly on the sofa. After a while, another carriage came outside the door.

There was a look of confusion on the black man's face, "Mr. Buffon came earlier than usual this time."

However, the carriage stopped, and what came out was a pale young man. His eyes seemed to be pierced by the sunlight above his head, and he put his hands in front of his face.

The black man's face suddenly changed when he saw the person coming, and he wanted to close the door, but the young man stood there for a while and came to his senses. When he saw the black man and Carmen in the room, his eyes lit up and he ran towards this side. However, his body was obviously hollowed out, and his steps were sluggish. He only took two steps before he began to gasp for air.

Carmen had a look of helplessness on her face and said to the black man, "Drew, go help him."

The black man was a little dissatisfied, but he had no choice but to walk up to him and try his best to smile, "Mr. Gary..."

But before he could finish speaking, he was pushed away by the latter, "Don't block the way."

The young man cursed impatiently, walked into the room, and said directly to Carmen, "I'm a little tight lately, please give me some more money."

Although Karina was dissatisfied with Carmen's uncooperative attitude, the guy in front of her was too arrogant. A businesswoman had never seen someone so confident in asking for money, and looking at him, it was obvious that he had taken too much opium.

Although Carmen was a little reluctant, she still managed to squeeze out a smile and said, "Wait a moment Gary, I'll finish handling the matter at hand and send these two guests away and we can talk again."

"Why, did I delay you enough to make money by picking up customers?"

As soon as the young man finished speaking, he received a slap on the face. Carmen could no longer suppress the anger in her heart, and her chest rose and fell sharply.

Karina was also stunned and asked Zhang Heng in a low voice, "This is the friend you found. Who is he?"

"Carmen's deceased husband's biological 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 brother. Unlike what many people think, Carmen and her husband actually had a very good relationship. If her husband hadn't died, It’s too early and she doesn’t need to make money in this way. By the way, he is not my friend, my friend is behind.”

After Zhang Heng finished speaking, he saw an old man holding a pipe in his hand walking into the room. He took off his hat and said hello to Carmen, and then nodded to Zhang Heng.

"you are?"

"Clay King, the owner of the theater." The old man said with a smile.

An ominous premonition arose in Carmen's heart, "I wonder what Mr. Clay is here for?"

"Oh, please ask Miss Carmen to pay for Mr. Gary's consumption during this period."

"How much?"

"Seventy-two gold coins in total."

"How is this possible?" Carmen laughed angrily, "How long has he been staying in your court? Even if he stays for three months, he can't get so many gold coins."

"Of course, I'm just a representative. These seventy-two gold coins are not just what Mr. Gary spent here, but also the casinos and opium dens all added together... Oh, this is the bill signed by Mr. Gary, Mr. Gary is here , he himself can testify." Clay handed over the bill.

"Are you trying to trick me?" Carmen took the bill and looked at it twice before turning back to look at Zhang Heng on the sofa.

The latter did not deny it, "The repayment date is today. If it is overdue, Mr. Gary will be sold to the mines to work hard to pay off the debt, so the decision lies with you, Mrs. Smith."

Today's Zhang Heng is different from when he first landed on the island. The Jackdaw is now the most powerful pirate in Nassau. On the contrary, Zhang Heng no longer always needs to fight alone as usual. His interpersonal relationship The network of relationships has also become richer. Although core tasks such as dealing with Malcolm can still only be done by a few trustworthy people such as him and Billy, small tasks such as dealing with Carmen can only be done by Clay and others. Still happy to help.

Carmen was trembling with anger. It was impossible for her to come up with such a large amount of money right away. Besides, she didn't have any good feelings for Gary. She even thought about using this opportunity to solve this problem, but she thought of her late husband's instructions. Her heart softened again. She and Smith had no children. This was the only thing Smith asked her to do before he died.

No matter how much she hated Gary, she couldn't possibly watch the latter being sold to the mines.

Zhang Heng reiterated again, "We have no conflicts with Mr. Eugene. On the contrary, we also want to help him solve the troubles he has been having. You should have heard about what happened between me and the Black Business Alliance and know my position clearly. "

Carmen fell into silence after hearing this, and finally sighed after a while, "I know what you want to know. If I tell you, will you let Gary go?"

Zhang Heng nodded, "You can get my guarantee."

Clay didn't want to get involved in the fight between the Jackdaw and the Black Merchant Alliance, so he didn't intend to listen to what Carmen said next. He patted Gary on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Let's go, an interesting guy just came out of the store. Don’t you want to try the show?”

"Really?" Gary's face showed surprise when he heard this, "Is it specially prepared for me?"

"Yeah, the girls miss you very much."

Gary rubbed his hands, "Then what are you waiting for? Go back quickly!"

Ever since Carmen agreed to handle his debt, he had no interest in the former, and he didn't even say thank you before leaving.

However, Carmen was obviously not surprised by this result. She asked the black man to change the tea for the two of them and then said, "Eugene has an illegitimate child, did you know?"

Karina said, "It is said that his relationship with Eugene was very tense and he left Nassau when he was very young."

"Eugene still attached great importance to that child. He later spent a lot of money to hire people to find the child."

"Did he find it?"

Carmen nodded, "Found it. The kid later entered the naval school. He graduated four years ago and became a young officer. Seeing that he was doing well, Eugene never bothered him until one day Mal Kom found Eugene, threatened him with the kid, and asked Eugene to do something for him.”

"How did Malcolm do it?"

"The kid worked on a pirate ship for a short period of time before leaving Nassau to earn passage money. It was only about two weeks, but during that period they robbed a merchant ship carrying cotton. The pirates killed the captain and The first mate and some sailors who resisted fiercely, but there were about five or six people left. Two of them were later rescued by passing merchant ships and successfully survived, and now they are working under Malcolm. "
