Chapter Seventy-Five: Rest
Oyster shells collide with iron plates, and soon a steaming glass of milk oysters is delivered to Charles.
Charles was just about to pay for it, but Old John waved his hand to stop it, "I'll invite you this time." Today's Island Festival, my business is very good, and there is no shortage of this. β
Charles grabbed a note from his wallet, shook it with his left hand, and the money flew straight into the cash box. "Next time, I just happen to have change. β
Without waiting for him to speak, Charles took the milk oyster and quickly walked into the flow of people without a trace.
"Alas, this kid is developed now, if only I hadn't gotten off the boat. β
After Old John finished speaking with some emotion, he stretched out his hand and pulled it a few times in the cash box, and suddenly he was surprised to find that the banknote that had just flown in contained half a piece of gold.
Eating milky oysters, Charles looked around at the roadside show.
In order to gather popularity, the theater next to it has set up a stage on the street, and the actors in various costumes are performing a new drama with rich limbs.
The content of the story seems to be about the love story of the governor of Coral Island.
Standing by and watching for a while, the audience shook their heads, everyone on the island knew that Governor Niko was unkind, and seeing one in love with the other, it was absolutely impossible for this kind of behavior to seek death and life for love, which was completely made up.
Walking through the celebratory crowd, Charles gradually blended in with the joyful islanders.
"Dad, you see, he was the uncle who stabbed me with a knife that day!"
Hearing the child's voice, Charles quickly turned around and saw Lily's family looking at him in horror across the street.
"It's really fateful to be able to meet them here. Charles, who was in a good mood, nodded at them.
Mr. and Mrs. Oliver seemed to be frightened, and without saying a word, they quickly picked up their daughter and ran towards the improvised police station next to them.
Charles chuckled and walked on, confronted by a circus, a rare lion roaring inside its cage and startled islanders screaming.
Trapeze, clown unicycles, lions drill fire rings, and all kinds of performances are staged in front of Charles, and he realizes that the entertainment on the island is also colorful.
Although he didn't know if it had any effect, after participating in these festivals, he felt that his mood had changed a lot.
After a whole day of wandering outside, he walked towards his home with a variety of delicacies, including cheap roasted spider crab legs and expensive roasted beef knuckles.
It's all for Lily, who has enough to eat, but there's still a mouse at home that hasn't been fed.
"Lily, I've brought you someβ" Charles, who pushed the door open, came to an abrupt halt, and there was an unexpected person in his room.
Elizabeth, who was specially dressed up, pounced excitedly.
Charles was just about to speak, his mouth was gagged, and Elizabeth's enthusiasm was beyond his imagination.
"Wait... Mouse. He mumbled.
"I kicked them out. β
The two were very close, and as Elizabeth spoke, a faint sweet smell blew on Charles's face, and he seemed to be drunk and felt light and dizzy.
Charles suddenly took his left foot, and the door behind him slammed shut.
After a long time, Charles, who was lying on the bed, looked at the ceiling, feeling the soft ketones in his arms, and his head felt a little painful again.
He thought that everything with this woman was over, but he didn't expect to be entangled again.
"Elizabeth, actuallyβ" Charles was halfway through his words when he was blocked by a soft palm.
Elizabeth looked at Charles in front of her affectionately, "It doesn't mean anything, I don't mean to pester you, you go and do your business, if you get tired at any time, you come back, the position of the governor of my island will always be half of yours." β
At this time, Elizabeth was not as strong as before, but with girlish gentleness.
Speaking of which, Charles is not good at what to say, if he refuses again, he himself will look down on himself.
Elizabeth reluctantly departed after a wet kiss, the new governor of a living island, and she needed to assemble a fleet to conquer her.
Charles exhaled, got out of bed, and walked towards the bathroom.
As soon as Charles, who was relaxed, came out of the bathroom, he saw Lily, the white mouse, anxiously circling around the room.
"This guy has such a smart nose, she can't smell anything, right?"
Charles quickly walked to the window and opened it, and when he turned to speak, the corner of his eyes twitched slightly from the corner of his eyes when he turned around to speak.
Lily didn't pay any attention to this, she ran up to Charles and said eagerly, "Mr. Charles, the big man has been arrested by the police!"
The expression on Charles's face immediately became serious, "James was caught, what the hell is going on?"
"That tall sister gave me a lot of echo coins and told me to go out and buy food, and then I went to grill fish, but the big fat man didn't sell it to me, and beat me with a broom, and then I-"
"Tell the point!" Charles pulled his coat over his body and grabbed Lily and jumped out of the window.
"I went to my wife, who wanted the big man, and I wanted to go there to buy bread, and then when I got there, I saw a lot of blood in the store, and the sister was crying on the ground, and I asked her to find out that the big man was taken away by the police. β
"Do you know which district it is?"
"You know, in the 7th arrondissement, my friend went into the place where the people were locked up and saw that the big man was locked up and someone was beating him with a stick. β
Riding in the steam car, Charles soon came to the precinct of the 7th district, where a small four-story building dyed black stood out, and humans in black uniforms came and went.
Charles walked in, and after a quick discernment, he went straight to the director's office.
As soon as the door opened, I saw an elderly man in a police uniform bowing his head and writing something.
Charles pulled the stool away and sat down directly in front of him, "You just caught a guy named James here?"
Looking at the outfit of the young man in front of him, and smelling the smell of the sea, Director Renault's face suddenly changed.
He is the most taboo about the guys at sea, no matter what their identity, everyone is not the right person, they don't care about the identity of the police, and they will only drive a boat to other islands when they kill someone.
Renault waved his hand, and the man who was already holding a pistol in the door shrank back.
"Who are you?"
"Charles, how much did it cost you to release someone who caught someone who was my crew?"
"Your crew has killed people, how can this be released?" Renault's eyes widened.
"How many times have you caught the Sea Serpent's little ears in Coral Island, how much money, of course you don't agree, I can also use my method to solve it. β
