Harlem Paradise continued to have its usual program, and when night fell, the lights of the audience gathered on the stage, and a gray-haired but energetic black musician stood in front of the microphone, his closed eyes slowly opened as the lights fell, and the backing band behind him began a long beginning of a gentle piece. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the most unique position on the second floor, behind the cross-shaped window, the fingers of the smiling pit viper Cornell Stokes attached to the pants at his side began to, and then slowly clicked on the legs, forming a rhythmic rhythm, as usual.

The dream of a musician is a dream that can never be fulfilled for the water pit viper, and when he embarks on this path, he has already lost the qualification to chase his musical dream, although he was forced to take this path, but, well, there is no but, so he can only entertain himself here.

"Wait outside!"

An ill-spoken voice suddenly sounded from outside the room, and then the door was slammed open, and Maria Dillard walked in with a black face, slammed the door shut, strode in, and slammed her bag on the sofa.

The smile on Connell's face disappeared instantly, and the movement of his fingers also stopped in an instant, slowly clenched into a fist, making a crisp sound, and his brows twisted together and turned to look.

"You're bothering me!" He said in a deep voice, looking at the person with a cold gaze.

"Maybe you're too idle, Connell, do you know that rattlesnake guy he's missing?" Maria Dillard snorted coldly at the water pit viper and snapped, "There's a good chance the police got the recording!" ”

Cornell frowned and said, "What are you afraid of, I have already dealt with that waiter and the gangster, and the normal procedure is followed, only that recording has no power to convict us." ”

"That recording probably doesn't matter to you right now, what's next? And it could have a serious impact on me! ”

Maria Dillard said angrily: "I'm a politician, and a politician who contributes to Harlem, don't you know what kind of virtue those media reporters are, if that recording goes out, all my efforts may be in vain, the community I have worked hard to build will inevitably be stopped, I will be investigated, and then our misappropriation of construction funds will be exposed, and then you still think that you will not be involved?" We're all going to be finished, and all the high-sounding words you said at Daddy's funeral will be a joke! Joke!! ”

Seeing Maria's eyes wide and full of irrepressible anger, Cornell's face instantly became much more ugly, Maria's words made him realize the seriousness of this matter, before he thought that the woman and Luke Cage saw the two people he killed were the things that needed to be taken seriously, but because he had a channel that could easily dispose of the corpse - a funeral home, only one or two operations were needed, and it was difficult for anyone to find evidence of his incrimination, so he never worried about it, but he was obviously wrong, he didn't expect it, The thing that needs to be paid attention to is definitely not only those two corpses, and even compared to the recording, those two corpses are already trivial.

"Damn! Damn Stryker! Thinking of this, he couldn't help but scold.

The reason why he suddenly scolded Rattlesnake was that Rattlesnake did not complete what he asked for was one of them, and the other reason was that the construction funds that Maria said were used on Rattlesnake, for Rattlesnake, a well-known figure in the underground world, as the owner of the underground gang in Harlem, he naturally understood how greedy Rattlesnake was, so this was originally a risky choice, but even if he took such a risk, there was still a bad situation for them.

"I paid Rattlesnake money! He shouldn't have given me such a result! ”

Cornell yelled that even the soothing music outside could not bring him peace at this time, and it was clear that a career that had been in business for many years was more important to him than an untouchable musical dream.

A flash of coldness flashed on Maria Dillard's ugly face on the side, she took a few steps towards Cornell, looked directly into Cornell's angry eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Cornell, things have come to this point, we must plan for the way back." ”

"What do you think?"

When Cornell saw the twinkle in his cousin's eyes, he knew that the other party had a plan.

"Who caused us to get to where we are today!" Maria glared viciously.

"You mean...... Stryker? Cornell's eyebrows instantly twisted together, and he asked uncertainly.

"That's him." Compared with Cornell's cautiousness, Maria directly hated and confirmed that she just wanted to take the knife at this insatiable arms dealer, "He took the favor but didn't fulfill our demands, we will take back what we paid, and make him pay the price!" ”

"Wow!!"

A playful strange voice suddenly sounded from outside the door, and then the door was pushed open again, and Willis Stryker walked in with a soft applause and a strange smile on his face that was contrived like a drill.

"Stryker!" Seeing the person coming, Maria Dillard, who was still talking passionately just now, suddenly exclaimed, and his steps subconsciously staggered back.

Cornell frowned, looked at Willis Stryker's smirk, and said in a deep voice, "What do you want to do?" ”

"Huh? What do I want to do? I haven't asked you what you want to do. The rattlesnake looked down and sneered, but still had a strange smile on its face.

"You didn't do what you were supposed to do, and I paid the price."

"Since I have received your payment, then I will fulfill your request, although it is not done now, but ...... I've brought you a gift, and I'm sure you'll love it. ”

As the words fell, he took out a mobile phone from the pocket of his trench coat and threw it away.

Cornell took two steps forward and reached out to catch the phone, glanced at the rattlesnake suspiciously, pressed the power button, and then his eyes widened sharply, and he turned his head to hand it to Maria.

When Maria took it, her face changed rapidly, but the joy that flashed in her eyes was very obvious.

"I said you'd like it." The rattlesnake grinned.

"Ahem!" Maria coughed and stepped forward, "I love this gift. ”

"Uh-huh." Rattlesnake nodded.

"I apologize to you for the previous faux pas, I'm sorry." Maria said with a smile on her face, in the style of a politician.
