Zhang Heng and Anne found the reason for the storm, but what happened on the Clark ship was probably only known to the ancient god named Betty.

Zhang Heng didn't know if it was because he was on land now, the other party didn't come to him after he got the shell, but Zhang Heng didn't take it lightly, he returned to the Jackdaw as soon as possible, cut off the ancient Celtic name on the top of the mast with a knife, and then found the businesswoman and asked her to send someone to the colony to find the tule tree.

According to Miss Bartender, a wooden box made of the latter can insulate supernatural forces, and it just so happens that this tree grows in Oaxaca, Mexico, which should now be a Spanish colony if Zhang Heng remembers correctly.

If it goes well, he will almost be able to get the wooden box of the tule tree when he comes back next time he goes to sea, but unfortunately this thing is not a game prop, otherwise Zhang Heng really wants to directly bring a package out of the copy, so that he doesn't have to worry about the storage of game props in the future.

Before that, in order to prevent the ancient god named Betty from tempting others again, Zhang Heng could only temporarily take this thing with him.

On the other hand, Karina's investigation of the inner ghost has finally waited for the results.

The men she sent to keep watch reported that Malcolm had just left the manor in a low-key carriage to visit Captain Barber, one of the false information given by the businesswoman, but Malcolm was apparently very alert, and ten minutes later he left Barber's house, and instead of looking for the next person on the list, he went to visit an unrelated person in this way, trying to confuse the eyes.

However, Karina was already almost sure of her goal, and she found Ma Long, who was not fooling around in the courtyard for the first time at this time, but was rarely ready to take out her saber from the box that she had not used for a long time.

When he took out the short musket at 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 that just the two of us will go, and I don't need to send a few more people on the boat?" ”

The businesswoman filled the barrel with gunpowder and bullets, "If you're right, he's doing this for his sister, I don't want to make this known to everyone, just let him go when we're done asking what we want to ask, and Jim has been doing bookkeeping and has no force of his own, so the two of us should be enough." ”

Malone nodded, "That's the best, don't worry, I'm not old enough yet, and I'm confident that I won't lose to anyone if I go head-to-head." ”

"If you have a smaller belly, it will make this sentence seem more convincing." Karina finished reloading and stuck her short musket behind her, showing no anomalies from the front.

She asked Malone, "How do I look now?" ”

"It's like going for a walk in the park." The latter praised.

"Let's go, if it's too late, Malcolm might have sent someone to report the news." Karina was the first to go downstairs.

The two wasted no time after getting the news and rushed straight to Jim's location, who had been arranged by the businesswoman to inspect the new warehouse location today.

As the situation on the island gradually opened up, the small warehouse of the original second-hand goods exchange office was a little insufficient, and Karina was also looking for a new warehouse location during this time, using this as an excuse to transfer Jim alone, and the latter did not arouse any suspicions.

That area is not too far from the wharf, there are two buildings in front and back, and there is also a large open space, which is very suitable for a warehouse.

But when they got there, Marlon and Karina's faces changed.

Karina saw a pool of fresh blood in the open space between the two buildings, and then a series of footprints staggered into the small building behind.

"Oh no, did Malcolm's men arrive first?" As he spoke, Malone drew the saber at his waist and ran towards the building behind him.

He slammed open the door at the first moment, but it was empty, and there were no footprints on the dusty floor.

Ma Long's eyelids jumped, and for some reason a sense of foreboding suddenly appeared in his heart.

He turned around again and saw Karina, with a short musket behind him and pointing it at him.

Marlon's smile was a little forced, "What does this mean?" ”

"What do you say?" The businesswoman's voice sounded a little sad, "Uncle Marlon, you and my father have known each other for more than twenty years, you have been here since I was a child, you are like family to me, I didn't expect 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 fingers were tightly pressed on the trigger, forcing Malone to stop.

"The name I gave to Jim was different from the name I gave you, or should I say that I gave a different name to everyone who might leak the news, I just didn't expect that the last person would be you."

Marlon raised his eyebrows, "You actually calculated me?" ”

"I just...... I did my best to consider all possibilities, and that's what you taught me before, Uncle Marlon. ”

"Should I be relieved? You've grown up so fast during this time, it's no wonder that even Malcolm is starting to worry about it, even if your father is standing here now, I'm afraid he won't recognize you anymore. Malone sighed.

As soon as his words fell, he saw several people come out from behind the small building, including Jim with a blank face, four sailors on the Jackdaw, and an unknown guy, who was tied with his hands, he was a killer sent by Malcolm, and he originally planned to deal with Jim, disguised as a murderer, so that the identity of Jim's ghost was confirmed, and no one was suspicious of Malone, but in the end, he was intercepted by the sailors of the Jackdaw, who had been waiting here for a long time.

"I have a lot of questions for you, but the most important one, does my father's imprisonment have anything to do with you, Uncle Malone?"

Marlon shook his head when he heard this, "If Fagan is still here, I won't betray him anyway, Malcolm's people found me after I went to the island with you, I fell into a trap and lost a lot of money while playing in the casino, and a guy came to me and was willing to pay me back the debt, and even promised to pay me an extra sum of money, but on the condition that I pass on the information to him when necessary, and by the time I regret it, it was too late, this was not my intention, I thought like everyone else that you would not stay on the island for long, So I couldn't find a reason to decline the offer. ”
