Chapter 19: Martha's Past
"I believe that the current equipment of humans is not able to dive into the deep sea, and we are safe. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info" The merfolk matriarch waved his hand, took Sophie's arm, and motioned for Alan to follow, swimming towards the deep sea.
"Sophie!Sophie!!" Jack cried, he felt that the pain of the wound was far from the pain in his heart, he wanted to catch up and tell the merfolk about his human identity, he wanted to tell Sophie his love and sincerity for her. But he knew that if he did this, he would be ridiculed and hostile by the mermaids, he would be killed, and the next plans and progress of the human race, no one would warn the merfolk and cause destruction.
At this time, in a café near Jack's residence, a girl in a red dress looks angry and is constantly breaking the glass in the café.
"I told you before! Your coffee here is not authentic enough, are you all deaf, can't you hear me?" the girl shouted, and the coffee shop owner in front of her nodded his head.
"Miss, the coffee in our shop has been brewed with the best coffee beans, and perhaps the coffee you drink is very expensive and not accessible to the people in the market. A small shop like ours can only meet the needs of ordinary citizens. ”
"Yes, yes, miss, please don't be angry, our coffee shop will be out after a while, this little meaning, please go elsewhere for tea." ”
The two coffee shop owners exchanged colors and kept looking at the clothes of the girl in front of them.
"I don't like tea, I like coffee!" the girl grinned and said to the black-clad thugs beside her, "Since they don't want to open this café anymore, then they need to clean it up after a while, so you can help tidy it up!"
"Yes. ”
"Yes. ”
More than a dozen strong men dressed in black pushed the coffee shop owner in the way and began to smash the café.
"Haha! Hahaha! Now I'm in a better mood all of a sudden!" the girl smiled at the chaotic coffee shop and the crying boss and proprietress in the distance, "It's just Jack, where are you? Are you really missing, or are you avoiding me?"
"I didn't stop anyone who wanted to kill you, do you blame me for not caring for you anymore?Who made you always ignore me! There is nothing in this world that I Martha wants but can't get! You will not be an exception! Even if it is a corpse, I will find you and bury you in my private cemetery!" the girl laughed, her eyes cold.
"Father, you said that you would fulfill all my wishes, and you said that you would make amends for me! You said that my mother was not killed by my grandparents! Is all this true or false? Hahahaha! Why is this so different from what I found? Who will tell me? Why does no one dare to investigate you? Hahaha! Is it true that in this world, as long as you have power, you can cover everything up? Woo woo...... Woowoo...... So, am I pampered by power, or am I fooled by power?"
The sea is endless, and compared to the calm sea at the moment, Jack's heart is as difficult to calm as if he is enduring a stormy sea.
What should he do? In the face of Sophie, whom he loves, and in the face of the mermaids who come to his rescue, how can he say that they believe in him?
Jack made up his mind and swam in the direction of the mermaids' departure, time was running out, and perhaps only by getting close to Sophie could he convince her to indirectly save the merfolk from the whole school.
At this moment, inside the café, Martha smashed the café owner's forehead with a glass.
"Hehe, call the police quickly, will you call the police?" the girl in the red dress grinned and said with a fluttering eyebrow.
"Alas, I, we're going to close it first, and ask Miss to accept our income for the past few months, and allow us to sell this café. The owner of the coffee shop had a sad face, and it was obvious that he had not received any effective protection for calling the police before.
"I'm not here to collect protection money!And you're blind? I'm worth the price of your café!" Martha glanced disdainfully at the café owner, the old man was visibly overwhelmed with fright, his wife snuggling up to him, her lips trembling, not knowing what to say to get rid of.
"If you want to blame Miss Ben for being in a bad mood today!No, not just today, Miss Ben won't be in a good mood until Jack shows up!" Martha scolded loudly, "Jack, you bastard! Why are you avoiding me? What are you playing missing? You are the owner and the proprietress of this café......, do you know?
Martha scolded and drank the drink she had brought, and after a while she choked on tears.
"Jack, it was here that day, we met for the first time, I was amazed when I saw you for the first time, I said how can there be such a handsome and charming man in this world? The more you ignore me, the more interesting and precious I feel, you are different from others! You are really different from other men! Do you know that you are very cute and innocent, cough cough, you are not at all, there is no market atmosphere at all! cough, cough ......"
"Miss, things are progressing. A man in a jacket walked in and whispered in Martha's ear.
"Oh, ahem, ahem...... Why is this wine so spicy?!I'm like, I'm confused...... Did I hear me wrong?" Martha looked at the man suspiciously, as if unconscious.
"Here are the photos from the house, as well as the news reports and the analysis of unknown creature tracking experts. The man took out a stack of papers from his purse, respectfully laid them out on the table, waved his hand, and sent away the many bodyguards and the two owners of the café standing next to him.
"Ahh Looking at the materials on the table, Martha's expression gradually became serious.
"These underwater photos are blurry and too far away...... But the photo in Jack's house is obviously of some aquatic creature sliding over the ground, which is very clear, and there are even traces of scales. Martha frowned, looking at the man's expression suddenly cold, "You have been with me for a long time, you should know my character, the person who offends me, I will make him life worse than death!"
"Yes, I will keep it a secret from all those involved, and be on call at all times to do your bidding. The man looked respectful, but beads of sweat flowed from his forehead.
"The destroyed computer chip was actually pressed out of the shape of fish scales, and after comparing it, the analyst came to the conclusion that it may be an unknown aquatic creature......" Martha muttered to herself, looking out the window at Jack's residence, her gaze gradually blurred.
"Jack, are the merfolk of the aquatic creatures you have been tracking real? Then they will be exposed to the world because of you! They will all end up miserable because of your infatuation and love!!"
"You arrange for everyone to be on guard 24 hours a day, constantly tracking the traces of unknown aquatic creatures, I want to live. Martha smiled coldly, "Dead, it's okay." But if you catch it alive, then this person can make an offer to me Martha!"
"Yes. The man's footsteps faded away, but Martha's face continued to weep.
"Father, you gave me the power to do whatever I wanted, but you prevented me from pursuing the cause of my mother's death. You said that power brings me happiness, but sometimes I feel that power brings me endless darkness, why do I want all the people to repay my longing and attachment to my mother? hahaha! Isn't it funny? hahaha! I, I'm so happy......" Martha kept drinking, and after a long time, she could hear her sobbing in the café.
