v2 Chapter 193： Inner Ghost and Bait (1/2)
? Ma Long is lying on the bed of the academy, so that a good lady can help him apply medicine. Before the Breeze was caught up by the Skull, he threw out the identity of the Nassau gangster, but the other side ignored it, so afterwards The captain led the sailors on the ship to bravely resist each other when they boarded the ship, but because the power gap between the two sides was too large, they were all supported in less than three minutes.
After that, he was punched and kicked. Malone was punched to the stomach by Wilton, fell to the ground, and could no longer hold the short knife in his hand. However, the attack did not stop, and he did not know how many feet he had suffered. Until being dragged into the bottom of the ship and detained, Ma Long had time to inspect his body and found that his back had become blue and purple.
For a while, like the others on the ship, he thought he was dead. On the way back, the Skull also robbed another merchant ship. Malone witnessed how Wilton and his crew treated the poor captives and tortured them. They make fun. Malone, an old sailor who has been drifting on the sea for decades, is frightened and even once thought of suicide.
Until he was released later, he couldn't believe what happened.
The first thing Ma Long did after confirming that he was safe was to go to a tavern and take a hard drink, and then he staggered to the house where he was most often, finally in the familiar soft chest Once again found the long-lost peace.
The next day he slept until noon and opened his eyes. It didn't take long before he saw Karina again.
”Wait, do you suspect Jim has taken over Malcolm?”
The witch had left the room half a minute ago. After listening to Karina's words, Malone shook his head that was still heavy after the hangover. His expression was full of surprise, and he said while wearing his clothes.
”Honestly, I ca n’t believe this accusation without solid evidence. Jim was a good boy. I knew him from his neighbors and the places where he worked before, and everyone said he was a good one. Child, he works **** the boat, never lazy, although sometimes a little boring, and does not understand some jokes that men should understand, but this does not prevent me from putting him on my favorite list, Did I tell you about his sister? ”
”What sister?” Karina asked.
”Jim had a sister who was not born by his parents, but was adopted halfway. He was two years younger than him. At that time, his family was in good condition. Jim also recognized it at that time, but the good times didn't last long. His parents had an accident, and only two of them were left in the family. The economy also began to become tight. Some people suggested that he send his younger sister to the orphanage or monastery, but Jim firmly opposed it and he could sell the family. Everything was sold out, and I started to work short jobs everywhere, only to barely feed two people, and he was only 14 years old. ”
Malone said with emotion, but said he suddenly stopped here.
”what happened?”
”Speaking of his sister, I did hear that she seemed to have a serious illness recently. Jim spent a lot of money to cure her. I asked him if he needed help before, but Jim told me The debt has been paid off, and he has an uncle in the distant house who sent him money to help him cope with the crisis. ”
