13 Mink Street

On a rocky beach on the north side of Corona Island, Arcelos opened his mouth and stuck out his tongue, and all the people who were in his mouth before came out.

There is a layer of mucous membrane in Arcelus' mouth. After people enter, this layer of mucous membrane will close to isolate the outside water flow, and it will be opened again to let fresh air flow in every time it takes a breath.

The area is very dry, but unfortunately there is no furniture, people can only sit on the suitcases.

In Pu'er's memory, Arcelos' father said that there were tables, chairs, charts and sand tables in this position, and the Allen family used Arcelos as the flagship of the pirate group.

But now, in the exact same position in his son's mouth, there is not even a bench.

After landing, Mrs. Jenny turned to Arcelos:

"Thank you for your help, the Allen family will always cherish their friendship with you."

Arcelos didn't respond, and dived directly into the sea, disappearing without a trace.

The pet in the past, then the partner, until the present return the favor;

This is a relationship curve, and it is also the best interpretation of the decline and decline of the Allen family.

On the hillside in the distance, a few figures appeared. After a while, a group of people wearing leather jackets with guns on their waists came towards here. The leader was a middle-aged man with beards.

"Jenny, you're back, oh my baby Eunice, you're even more beautiful."

The cheeky man greeted Jenny and Eunice warmly, but his gaze kept on Karen.

"Brother, thank you for coming to pick us up in person." Mrs. Jenny said.

"Uncle." Eunice greeted.

"This, is Master Karen?" The cheeky man held out his hand to Karen, "Hello, young master of the Inmeles family, you can call me Wood from now on."

"Hello."

Karen reached out to shake his hand, but the next moment, he felt a burning pain in his palm.

Seeing this, Alfred immediately stepped forward, his eyes were about to turn red;

But Wood let go of his hand at this time, and Karen shook his palm with some difficulty.

"It's really a young master." There was a smile on the corner of Wood's mouth.

Karen stopped Alfred, his expression still gentle, and said:

"I've let you down."

Pu'er, who was sitting on Karen's shoulders, looked at Wood with an idiotic look.

Come, come, come!

As long as there is a possibility of stupidity, the law that the Allen family will definitely do stupid things is about to begin!

I raised my cat temper all the way on the passenger ship,

Jenny and Eunice did not let themselves off the chain,

But as soon as he arrived at Corona Island, the fool showed up!

idiot, retarded, fool,

Are you laying the groundwork?

Give Karen a reasonable reason to leave the Allen family?

The golden retriever next to him put away his hippie smile when he just landed, closed his mouth, and stared at Wood.

Wood turned his eyes to Alfred, and smiled at him;

Then he looked at the golden retriever on the ground and stretched out his hand to tease him, but the golden retriever ignored him at all, instead showing his teeth at the corners of his mouth.

"This dog has a very temper."

immediately,

He pointed to Pu'er on Karen's shoulder again, and said:

"One thing that Master Karen may not know is that the Allen family does not allow cats."

Karen still smiled and nodded, saying:

"But the cat means something different to us."

Karen uses "we";

After all, this is the ancestor of your Allen family, and, if nothing else, the tradition of not allowing cats in the Allen family should have something to do with Pu'er.

"Even when a whale enters the shallow sea, it needs to pack its belly." Wood smiled, "I believe that Master Cullen will respect the traditions of our Allen family."

"Uncle, I think these things should be decided by my father and grandfather."

Eunice walked to Karen's side and hugged Karen's arm naturally. This is the standard gesture for a female partner to a male partner in social situations.

Pu'er turned her head and glanced at Eunice beside her,

The ancestors feel great comfort,

Good great great great great great niece, as long as you are not stupid;

As long as you persist in this way, there is no reason for this Inmeles to fly solo.

Wood shrugged, instead of being angry at his niece's words, he waved his hand, signaling the people behind to come over and help carry the ceremony, and then said to Mrs. Jenny:

"Jenny, we need to walk for a while, and I will arrange for you to rest when we get to the town."

"I'm sorry to trouble you." Mrs. Jenny's attitude towards Wood was also a lot colder.

Under Wood's leadership, everyone walked a mountain road and entered the small town of Corona.

The town was built by the port, and there are still several medium-sized cargo ships docked there. As for those small ships, there are even more of them, densely packed around the periphery of the port.

Wood and his group have a lot of status in the town. When he entered the town swaggeringly with his people, all kinds of people in the town greeted him respectfully.

The place where everyone stayed tonight was a guild hall, a hotel belonging to the Allen family.

Well, the opposite is also the property of the Allen family. It has four floors. The first floor is a tavern, the second floor is a casino, and the third and fourth floors are brothels.

After entering the guild hall, Karen walked into his room, first went to the bathroom and tried to turn on the nozzle, after a while he found that there was actually hot water flowing out, so he immediately took off his clothes and took a shower.

After taking a shower, I felt much more comfortable and refreshed. When I was arranging the pillows on the bed, I found a brochure under the pillows. I opened it and found a list of prostitutes. The prices and services were marked. The most expensive one There are photos in the first batch, and there are only text introductions in the back. Not only are there all kinds of races, but even the last few pages have service providers marked "male".

Karen threw the roster on the bedside table and sat against the back of the bed.

The golden retriever was lying on the sofa, facing here.

Pu'er jumped onto the bedside table and began to flip through the last few pages of the roster.

"Is this a smuggling island?" Karen asked Pu'er.

Pu'er turned a page with her paws,

road:

"It should be by now."

"Then before?"

"In the past, this was the fiefdom of the Allen family. Hundreds of years ago, when Wayne was not yet a powerful country, he relied on pirate groups spontaneously formed by the people to expand and harass the outside world. Canonization of titles."

"Is this how the Allen family started their business?"

"Strictly speaking, it doesn't count, but that period was indeed the peak of the Allen family. When I left Wayne, Corona Island belonged to the fiefdom of the Allen family, and the people on the entire island were all fiefs of the Allen family. civil.

At that time, the Allen family used this place as a base, and the big pirate ship rested here. The combat effectiveness of pirates and pirate ships was not inferior to the Royal Navy in the true sense.

Now, you saw it too, it's gone;

This place can only be regarded as the family's smuggling transfer station. "

"Is it far from Wayne's mainland?"

"It's not far away. It should start with tomorrow's cargo ship. York City is close to the sea. When the time comes, take the sea route directly to York City to land, and then take a car from York City to the suburbs to reach Allen Manor.

Arriving here is basically home, and that’s how I felt before. "

"OK."

"Also, don't be as knowledgeable as Wood." Pu'er reminded, "Although it's the first time I've seen him, I know very well that being sent by the family to this small island as the person in charge of the smuggling spot proves that he is a member of the family. Certainly no status.

It is estimated that Eunice's father and grandfather were exiled here;

It's normal for this kind of person to have a bad temper and a little bit of yin and yang, isn't it? "

Karen put her right hand in front of her, and the back of her hand was still slightly red at the moment:

"I have nothing against him."

Pu'er paused, and coldly snorted:

"Even kind of like his style, huh?"

"That's because I have always had sufficient friendship with the Allen family."

"Karen, why didn't you feel that you were so hypocritical when you were in Luo Jia?"

"Because at home, all I need is sincerity." Karen leaned back and found a more comfortable posture, "When sincerity is enough, who wants to pick up hypocrisy."

"You look like a poet now."

"That's because most poets write their beautiful poems after they leave home."

"Dododo..."

There was a knock on the door.

Karen got up and got out of bed. Before he could open the door, the door was pushed open from the outside.

Wood leaned against the door frame, a cigar in his mouth, looking at Karen.

The golden retriever got off the sofa and stared at Wood;

Pu'er lowered his head, thinking: This silly nephew is here to send an assist again.

Outside the door, behind Wood, Alfred who lives in the room next to Karen has come out.

"Mr. Wood, what's the matter?" Karen asked proactively.

Wood looked at Karen, took off his cigar, and exhaled a puff of smoke ring: "I'm here to treat you to dinner, dinner."

"Okay, thank you Mr. Wood."

Karen didn't say anything. When he arrived at the man's land, he must obey the man's arrangement. He picked up his coat and asked while putting it on:

"Have Mrs. Jenny and Miss Eunice gone?"

"No, just me and you, what, do you mind?"

"No, it's my pleasure."

Karen followed Wood out of the room, Pu'er jumped on top of him and sat down on his shoulders, Golden Retriever followed behind Karen, and behind him was Alfred.

Looking at the cat on the young master's shoulder and the dog under his feet, Alfred frowned slightly;

In the past, he was satisfied with being able to paint murals; now, he has begun to consider the position and angle.

He didn't know whether it was because he was inflated or because he had a dream;

Just looking at the dog that he also "personally" sealed, Alfred's brows relaxed again, not so depressed.

The place Wood brought Karen into should be his office. There is a lot of space. There is a table near the window, with brandy and a large piece of barbecue on it, and the barbecue is still dripping with dark sauce.

Originally, Karen was quite hungry, but when he saw this big plate of crude food, he felt a little full.

Wood cut off a piece of meat and threw it directly to the golden retriever.

"What's it called?"

"Kevin."

The golden retriever didn't even look at the big piece of meat on the ground.

"You let it eat meat."

"Eat, Kevin."

The golden retriever picked up the meat, crawled there and ate it.

Wood looked at the black cat that came with Karen again. At this time, the black cat was lying on the window sill, looking at him with melancholy and sad eyes.

It's hard to imagine that a cat's eyes can express such rich emotions;

Wood felt that he was thinking too much, so he helped Karen pour the wine first.

"Will you drink?"

"Won't."

"Well, the first cup has to be finished."

"good."

Wood drank it down and so did Karen.

"Is that so?" Wood laughed, picked up the bottle and prepared to continue pouring it for Karen, who gently covered the mouth of the glass with his hand.

"Is there any orange juice?"

Wood froze for a moment, then continued to hold the bottle and looked at Karen.

Karen still covered the mouth of the cup, smiling politely.

The two froze.

Pu'er sighed, couldn't bear to look straight, turned to look at the bustling town street outside the window: I'm tired, destroy it.

Unexpectedly,

Wood smiled, put down the wine bottle, and shouted to the door:

"Look for orange juice, other juices are fine, sodas are fine too, bring them here quickly."

"It's better to drink less alcohol, especially when you're young." Wood poured himself a full glass, and drank another glass. "When you're young, you need to do a lot of things. When you get older, you can do whatever you want."

"Actually, drinking at any time is not good, and it's not good for your health." Karen reminded. Of course, he knew that his kind of reminder would easily arouse disgust for people who love to drink.

"Well, you're right." Wood pointed to the pier in the distance, it's all about this point, but there are still many porters on the pier unloading, "But sometimes, people can't be really comfortable when they live, and the porter This kind of heavy physical labor can easily cause damage to the body, so I will take this to make up for it."

"You're right, too."

A very charming purple-haired woman came over with three kinds of fruit juice:

"What would you like to drink?" asked the woman. "Here is orange juice, apple juice, and grape juice."

"Orange juice is fine."

"Do you need ice cubes?"

"That's the best."

"OK."

The woman first put ice cubes in Karen's glass, and then poured orange juice.

"Thanks."

"You're welcome."

Wood pointed to the woman and said, "Eileen, my wife."

Karen stood up and half-bowed to the woman:

"Hi, ma'am."

"Please sit down, you don't need to be so polite." The woman cast a glance at her husband, "I'm making soup in the kitchen, and I'll bring it to you later."

"Thank you ma'am."

"My dear, our handsome chap is very polite."

"Hahaha." Wood also laughed.

"Father, why did you ask me to come here? Hey, my mother is here too."

At this time, a girl wearing a hot dress and a nose ring came in. There were two knives tied between the girl's crotch, with special patterns on the knives.

"Come on, let me introduce you to my daughter, Camilla."

Camilla saw Karen who was sitting opposite her father. When Karen turned to her and said hello to her, the normally aggressive girl suddenly became nervous and shy.

Corona town is full of vulgar sailors and drunkards. Where have you seen a boy with such a clear temperament? When he stands in front of you, you seem to be admiring a painting.

"Ahem." Wood coughed and reminded, "Camilla."

Camilla's mother, Elena, put her arms around her daughter's shoulders and said to Karen: "Please don't be surprised, my daughter grew up on this island, and she has never seen a handsome boy like you."

"Ah, mother, what are you talking about!" Camilla finally recovered, her face flushed.

Fortunately, this scene was not seen by her subordinates. If they knew that the eldest sister who likes to personally pick off the tendons of unruly smugglers for enjoyment has such a girly side, they would go crazy.

"Hello, Camilla, my name is Karen, and I come from Ruilan across the sea."

"You... hello, my name is Camilla, and I come from Corona Island across the sea."

Well, what the hell am I answering! ! !

"Okay, okay, let your father have dinner with the guests, let's go out first." Elena left with her daughter in her arms.

Karen sat down again.

"You're laughing," Wood said.

"No, Camilla is lovely."

"I haven't heard anyone praise her for being cute for almost ten years. Perhaps, the last time I heard it was when she was a baby."

"Every girl is made of water, and they all have a cute and gentle side."

Pu'er next to him turned his head to look at Karen, really, since he went out, he has become more and more like a poet!

"It's a very philosophical description." Wood raised his glass again, and Karen also raised his orange juice, "I believe there must be no shortage of girls who like you."

"No." Karen shook his head. "In the past, I had some mental problems. Have you heard of autism? For many years, I like to close myself up and don't like socializing."

Pu'er frowned: Do you need to be so sincere to everyone in the Allen family, even confessing what diseases you have had in the past?

"Oh, that's the way it is. I believe it will be difficult to get out," Wood said.

"The truth is, no one is sure whether he has really come out, and there is a certain possibility that he will go back again. No one can say for sure about this kind of disease."

Pu'er: "!!!"

"Ah." Wood sighed, and said, "I want to apologize to you for my behavior when we first met this afternoon."

With that said, Wood stood up and bowed to Karen.

Karen also stood up immediately, but Wood stretched out his hand to hold his shoulder;

Pu'er raised his head with some doubts, looked at Wood, and a little hope rose in his heart.

Wood sat down, and called Karen to sit down;

"I only learned about the current situation of your grandfather and the Inmeles family from Jenny. I am on this island, and communication is often inconvenient.

When we first met in the afternoon, I wanted to kill your prestige, because in my opinion, you are the young master from the great Inmeles family, and I was worried that you would look down on our Alan family. "

"I didn't mean that."

"Yes, now I know, it's me who is short-sighted. Did you know that there is a small island to the south of this island, and there is also a small town on the island, which is controlled by the Rafael family.

But a few days ago, a huge change happened to the Rafael family, which caused their family to be in chaos now, and all parties began to fight. The day before yesterday, I took people to that island and snatched that town, so that this The two islands belonged to the Allen family again, although this was not legally possible. "

"Congratulations."

"It's not difficult, because they have already split internally. When I took people there, someone inside had already responded in advance. In fact, it is not difficult to drive them away. What I have been afraid of before is the revenge from the Rafael family. Now that they are too busy to take care of themselves, it is naturally impossible to have revenge.

In my last letter to me, my brother mentioned one point, saying that there might be troubles in the Rafael family in the next month, so I should prepare early.

Although my younger brother didn't say anything to me clearly, when I learned that Jenny had asked Eunice to bring a guy named Inmeles with her when she came back from visiting relatives, I guessed something.

Is it? "

Karen didn't answer.

"Then I guessed right," Wood said. "It's a deal, isn't it?"

"Yes." Karen said, "It's just a transaction."

Grandpa, gave Mrs. Jenny a purple bookmark, no accident, it should say Raphael.

"Well." Wood nodded, "But I still want to thank your family. You know, the Raphael family has squeezed the living space of the Allen family in all aspects over the years. I am on this island, and I have Many brothers died in the battle with the Rafael family.

In fact, in the early years, I had the opportunity to go back and inherit the position of Patriarch. "

"Um?"

"But during a sea voyage, I was attacked by robbers from the Rafael family. My ship was destroyed. I was injured and jumped into the sea to escape. I was finally saved by Elena's parents."

"It was a thrilling experience, but it was also the beginning of a beautiful love."

Wood smiled bitterly, and continued:

"People from the Rafael family began to search for me on the nearby islands. Elena's parents were killed by the people from the Rafael family in order to hide me."

"Feel sorry."

"It's okay. At that time, Elena was several years younger than me, and she was like my little sister in my eyes, but I knew that I owed her a lot, and later, I was rescued by people in the family When I came back, I insisted on taking Elena home, met my father, and proposed to my father that I wanted to marry Elena.

But firstly, my father raised me as the successor of the patriarch at that time, and secondly, Elena was an immigrant from outside, not to mention that she wasn’t from Wien, and she didn’t even belong to the Maclay family. "Wood pointed to his hair, "You saw it just now, her hair is purple. "

Karen nodded.

"My insistence angered my father. Since then, I have been deprived of the qualification to succeed the patriarch, and I was sent to Corona Island to take charge of the business. Except for once or twice a year, I can go back to the manor to meet my family. Most of the time I have to stay on this island. But..."

Wood smiled: "Irene and I have been living here happily."

"You are a responsible man." Karen held up the orange juice in his hand.

Wood also raised his glass.

"Actually, I don't deserve any praise. I only know and remember one thing. I owe someone a favor. No matter what, I have to pay it back."

Pu'er on the window sill slowly stood up and looked at Wood with hope. It suddenly felt that this bearded descendant was a little bit cute.

"So, at first I thought you were a young master who came from a big church family, but when I learned about your grandfather and your family, I felt that I had to come over and apologize to you."

"No need, Mr. Wood."

"No, this is necessary!" Wood reached out and knocked on the table hard, "I haven't been with my father and younger brother for too long. The father is a bit rigid, and the younger brother is not very good after becoming the patriarch. I understand, but since they are sitting in that position of the family, they will definitely consider the interests of the family more."

"Yes, I understand." Karen smiled.

"Snapped!"

"Fucking understanding!" Wood directly smashed the half bottle of brandy bottle on the ground, "I can't understand, and I don't want to understand!"

Pu'er on the window sill raised his claws: "Very good, bearded man, go on, go on, go on!"

Wood stood up, walked to Karen, put his arms around Karen, his face was so close to Karen, Karen could smell the alcohol on his breath;

"Promise me, when you go to the manor at home and find that my father and my brother treat you badly or belittle you, you don't want to talk to them and go directly to Corona Island.

I will give you my position here and the wealth I have accumulated. I will give you all the property here, my subordinates, my ships, and what I have!

in addition,

I also want to give you Camilla as my wife! "

Karen: "..."

Karen blinked, why did things go in this strange direction?

Pu'er almost stood up: Big beard, good job, my aunt is proud of you!

"Mr. Wood, it doesn't need to be like this, I just need a place to stay..." Karen explained.

He has money to buy a small apartment, and then he can develop some side businesses, and at the same time, he can try his "belief system" practice.

In fact, Pu'er has been right. Compared with the so-called "political marriage", Karen prefers to be alone in a corner and develop slowly.

Wood was a little embarrassed and said:

"Well, I actually know that Camilla is not as good-looking as my niece Eunice."

"No, Mr. Wood, Camilla is lovely."

"When a man describes a woman as 'cute', it proves that she is not your type." Wood patted Karen on the shoulder, "I was young too."

"Uh..." Karen.

"Or, do you like something quieter? I will ask Camilla to take off her nose ring, and she is not allowed to wear those strange accessories, so that she can be quieter."

"It's really unnecessary, Mr. Wood."

"How can this not be the case, it has to be like this! Your family helped us, you don't know what kind of trouble the Rafael family, which used to be a family slave of the Allen family, has developed into now.

Now, your great grandfather has fallen into eternal sleep, and your family members can no longer enter the church system.

you lost everything;

You came to Wayne;

You came to the Allen family,

I will never allow that kind of ungrateful thing to happen in front of me!

Because, many of my people, including my father and my younger brother, have already forgotten;

The family creed of the Allen family when they crossed the sea,

That is……"

Wood clenched his right fist and slapped it on his right chest:

Pu'er also raised his right paw and patted it on his cat's chest:

"The Allen family, you must repay your kindness!"
