Karina goes to the carriage. Malone opens the door for her, but the businesswoman stops and doesn't go up.
Karina looks across to the cafe, where Malcolm is having lunch with a napkin on. When she sees the businesswoman looking, she makes a please sign to her.
The latter hesitated for a moment, and finally walked over. Malone wanted to follow him, but he was stopped by two strong men outside the store. He was a little worried, but Karina nodded at him, indicating that he had nothing to do with it.
"What would you like to eat?" Malcolm cut a piece of fried eggs with his dining knife and said to the woman businessman sitting in front of him, "I recommend the coffee and tuna sandwich here. It's still delicious."
"Just like you."
"People who know me well know that I don't like to be turned down," Malcolm said to the waiter on the other side, "with coffee and fried eggs and a tuna sandwich."
Karina laughed, but she didn't worry about it. She looked around. "I've been in Nassau for so long, but I haven't really been in the city. I don't know there's a cafe here."
"Don't blame you. This cafe is closed at ordinary times. It only opens when I'm here. Sitting here makes me feel like I'm back to a civilized society."
"If you are ten years younger, maybe you can't help falling in love with you."
"I've known your father Fagin for a long time, but I didn't know he had such an excellent daughter." Malcolm ate fried eggs and took a sip of coffee. "When you first appeared in front of me, I thought you were a liar, but now I believe you are your father's daughter. You both have the same characteristics. As long as you set goals, you will never give up."
"Maybe it's because life doesn't give us the right to give up." Karina thanks the waiter for the coffee.
"Are you still mad at me for what happened when you first came to the island?"
"Should I be angry?"
"Even if you sit in my seat, you don't do what you want to do." Malcolm put down his fork and wiped his hands with a napkin. "Or more accurately, just because sitting in the current position is not to do what he wants to do, people only see that the black business alliance is now powerful, but they don't know that it was not easy at the beginning of its establishment. We should pay the threat from all parties, not only outside the alliance, but also inside the alliance. There are too many interactions in it Exchange and compromise. "
"I'm sorry. What does that have to do with me?" The businesswoman asked, "I've got what you don't want to give me. Now I don't need anyone's pity any more. I don't care how much effort you put into building this alliance, or how important it is in your heart. If you just want to play emotional cards with me today, you'd better save it. I don't have as much leisure as you do. I have a lot of things to do Excuse me first
Kalina said and got up.
"Don't you care about your own father?" Malcolm said faintly.
The merchant's body was fixed in the same place, and a look of hatred flashed in her eyes. However, thinking of what raeli was doing now, she finally managed to restrain her emotions, turned back and tried to make her voice sound the same as usual, "my father?"
"I'm sorry about what happened to your father. One of my cousins happens to have something to do with count Slote, who is holding your father in custody. Maybe I can help you plead with him and solve this matter earlier." Malcolm looked into Karina's eyes and said, "you should want your father out of prison, too?"
"What's the price?"
"If you leave Nassau, you should have made some money from the last batch of spices of jackdaw. With the ability of you and your father, you can start with this money. Even if you do some other business, you should be able to maintain your family."
Karina opened her mouth to say something. Malcolm held out a finger. "It's not a deal, but I'll give you one last chance in your father's face, so that this matter can be solved peacefully. You should know very well that the tricks you are playing now can't last long. My patience is limited."
"What if I refuse?" Kalina said after a moment of silence.
Malcolm raised his eyebrows, a little surprised, "maybe I really underestimated you. I always thought that you came to the island just to make money to save your father, but now you have taken this matter as your own career, don't you? It's a pity that you're not at the right time. Now I don't want to delay with you any more, so it's time for games and reminiscences It's over. If you don't leave, something cruel may happen next. "
…………
A quarter of an hour later, Karina came out of the cafe, and Malone immediately welcomed her. "Well, he didn't embarrass you, did he?"
The businesswoman shook her head. "It's the same old thing. Malcolm thinks I'm still a little girl. He thinks I can be scared away only by threats. Don't worry about him. It's time for jackdaw to come back soon. Before that, we have to do our work well. There's still some stock in the warehouse. I'm afraid we have to trouble uncle Malone for another trip."The captain of the breeze nodded. "I've already purchased supplies. After dark, I'll get those things on board and get out of the port."
"Very good, you go to prepare for going out to sea. Next I'm going to smoke fish lane. Let's separate here." Karina got into the carriage.
"Why don't we? It won't take an afternoon for the rest. Smoked fish lane is one of the most chaotic places on the island. There are thieves and villains everywhere. A young girl shouldn't be alone in that place. " Malone frowned.
"Never mind, I have friends there." But Karina had closed the car door and left with the words "be safe, uncle Malone".
"I should say that." Malone looked at the back of the carriage and said helplessly.
Half an hour later, the carriage stopped at the entrance of the alley. Karina jumped out of the carriage. A few thugs squatting on the ground whistled to her. Although the businesswoman seemed very relaxed when she replied to Malone, she could not help beating her heart at this time. However, in the face of the pressure from Malcolm, she survived. There was no reason to be scared by some hooligans here.
So the businesswoman took a deep breath and walked into the alley. However, not far away, she bumped into a group of kids and spilled the ink on her. Karina was helpless and took out her handkerchief to wipe it for a long time, but it didn't come alone. She found that the gangsters she met in the alley were behind her.
