Looking at the malicious smiling faces in front of her, Karina was really a little nervous at this time. She subconsciously took two steps back. It was not that there were no other people in this alley, but those guys seemed to be interested in this kind of thing. They have become accustomed to things, and all of them look cold and indifferent. Poverty has made them infinitely numb to the external environment.
The leading guy took two more steps forward with a smile, and was about to say something, but at this moment a dark shadow enveloped his head, and his smile froze on his lips.
"Koshi?"
"She is my guest, Andy." A black man with a muscular body like a bull appeared behind the businesswoman and said coldly.
Several gangster-looking young people looked at each other. The leading boy named Andy immediately raised his hands and forced a smile from his freckled face, "This is a misunderstanding, Kesi, we don't It will embarrass your guests.”
After saying that, they retreated to the alley. Karina breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you."
"Don't be too busy thanking me first. Check to see if your wallet is still there." The black man named Kexi said.
The businesswoman was shocked when she heard this and stretched her hands into her arms. As a result, she touched all over her body but could not find her money bag. Then she seemed to think of something, "Those children?"
"Don't worry, I know where they are and will help you find your money bag." Kexi said, "Let's go, he is already waiting for you."
The strong black man took the businesswoman to a slaughterhouse, where several workers were busy killing pigs, turning a blind eye to the two people who entered. Karina followed Kesi down to the cellar, where she finally saw the black gladiator.
The last time the two met was a month ago. Karina was entrusted by Zhang Heng to give Laeri a sum of activity funds. After that, the latter disappeared and did not contact her again until two days ago.
"Thanks, Cosey."
The owner of the slaughterhouse nodded to Laeri, turned around and walked out of the cellar.
"Kexi is not a member of the tribe, but he can be trusted. No one dares to mess with him in this alley. He has helped me a lot recently." When there were only two people left in the cellar, People, the black gladiator said.
"I'm sorry I can only choose to meet you here. Malcolm is a very cautious person, but he also has weaknesses. He focuses on those powerful opponents. He will spend time and energy studying them, such as Captain Zhang Heng, like you, will analyze your personality, behavioral patterns, family background, and even childhood experiences to find effective means to deal with you...
"And everyone's energy is limited. Malcolm will focus on you, and on other people, especially those who are not important to him, even if those people live around him. They would also turn a blind eye, like me, or the other black slaves in Terrance Manor.
"In his eyes, there is no difference between us and the trees in the manor. When I was dragged out of the banquet hall, he no longer cared about my life and death, and the overseer would not tell him specifically about selling me, but if When he finds out that I am in contact with you, he will realize that I am not dead yet, and start to evaluate the threat I may pose, which will cause trouble for my activities."
"I can understand." Karina said.
"Let's talk about your father," Laeri briefly explained why he chose to meet the businesswoman here and then changed the subject. "I used my method to contact the tribesmen in the manor, just as I As mentioned before, they are no different from trees in Malcolm's eyes, but most people can't actually help. Those young laborers can't leave the orchards and farmland at all, and most of the maids are only responsible for cleaning and In some reception jobs, I don’t get to touch anything of value, except for one person, her name is Leah.”
"Leah?"
"She is a very special child. She showed her uniqueness when she was in the tribe. Malcolm must have discovered this, so he focused on cultivating her and did not let her receive the same treatment as others. The guest not only taught her the language, but also had people specially trained her to read. After that, she began to be responsible for helping Malcolm handle some paperwork, such as writing some greeting letters, invitations and the like. In addition, every day He even asked Leah to clean up his study room last Saturday, and no one is allowed to enter that place except him."
Laeri paused, "Anyway, I contacted Leah through people in the tribe, and she agreed to help find evidence that Malcolm framed your father. However, she only had a quarter of an hour to clean the study at a time. She needed You have to finish your work first, and then you can move freely in the rest of the time, and you also have to avoid the attention of the guards outside the door, so it took me so long to finally get something."
The black gladiator took out a letter from his body and said, "I can't understand what's written on it, but Leah said this might be able to help you."
Karina took the letter, opened it and read less than two lines before her expression changed. The content of the letter was very simple. It was sent from Malcolm's family. The content was a bit vague. She just told him that he would invite Si Lord Lauter came to dine at home, and at the same time the trouble was basically settled, and the letter was signed exactly half a month after his father was imprisoned.
Relating what Laeri had heard before, the content of this letter confirmed that Malcolm was indeed related to his father's imprisonment. Laeri looked at the businesswoman and said, "How about this letter? Can this letter help you bring him down?" ?”
The latter tried hard to restrain the fire of hatred in his heart and keep himself rational. Finally, he shook his head and said, "This thing may bring him some trouble, but it is not enough. We need more direct evidence to prove that my father He planned his imprisonment."
Karina hesitated, and finally returned the letter to the black gladiator, "Put this thing back, don't let Leah be suspected."
Laeri nodded, "Don't worry, we are very close, I will let Leah continue to search, and I will let you know if there are any results."
"Let her pay attention to her own safety. By the way, is the money I gave you last time still enough?"
"There's more than half left, miss."
"If you don't have enough, come back to me." Karina left the slaughterhouse after finishing her meeting with the black gladiators. Outside the door, Kesi not only returned the money bag she had thrown away to her, but also personally sent her out of Smoked Fish Lane. .
After Karina thanked him, she found Malone in a carriage and watched boxes of goods being transported onto the Breeze. However, for some reason, she always felt uneasy in her heart.
