Chapter 241
Soon, Charles saw the pope's smile that seemed to be kind.
The stone statue moved, and the pope glanced at the paper on Charles's desk.
With a light stroke with one hand, the paper flew into his hand. "You are also paying attention to the fight between the governors? What do you think of their current situation?"
"Should I ask you this question? You are obviously the person behind Swann."
The paper in the Pope's hands was thrown away at will. "My child, you don't believe me, you still don't believe me, so what now? All your preparations fell through. I told you it's none of your business."
Obviously, he was talking about Charles’ naval preparations, and Hope Island’s strategic plan could not hide his eyes.
"You once said that this is part of the plan, then tell me, what is your purpose? I feel that our two goals are not the same thing."
A trace of dust shook off the pope as he shook his head.
"That's an important plan of this sect. Unless you are willing to join the Shining God Sect, otherwise I can't tell you. Don't forget, our common goal is to find the place of light."
Charles sneered in his heart, he knew this guy would say that, and it didn't make any sense to talk to him. "Are you coming over to find me something?"
"This battle is over. Should the anxiety in your heart dissipate? It's time to go out to sea to find the next island."
Charles thought quickly, "Swann seems to be honest for a while, and his plan is disrupted by Julio. He really vacated his hands to avenge him, and hope the crisis on the island is resolved."
"I will set sail right away after I have dealt with some things."
"Very well, please Governor Charles try to focus on where you need it. As for other things, it is other people's business. God loves the world, and may the light of God of Light shine on your soul."
After speaking, the pope turned into an immovable sculpture again, and let other believers push him outside.
Charles didn't know the meaning of the Pope's operation, and he didn't want to have ambitions to occupy the land and sea.
Swann's aggressiveness will inevitably lead to resistance from other forces. In this situation, no one is benefited at all.
But one thing the Pope said was right, that is, he really wants to continue going to sea, this time staying has been long enough.
If the foundation member did not lie, then the surface exit is waiting for him on the main island of the foundation.
"Lily, send your friend to inform others to prepare, and in three days, we will leave."
Facing the Governor’s departure again, I hope that no one on the island will be surprised. If Governor Charles does not go out to sea one day, it will be big news.
Looking at those companions who were drinking and boasting with themselves some time ago, and now joining the Governor's ship, many people are just very envious of those who are selected.
There are two other people who are as lucky as West, one second wheel tube and one big wheel tube.
As for the previous narwhal's main tube has been upgraded to chief engineer, the smile on each of their faces has not fallen since they were hung up.
The only thing that made them so happy was the Echo Coins. The Governor personally told them that the salary of the Narwhal was three times that of other exploration ships.
And as long as they can assist the Governor to accomplish his goal, they will get an entire house in the heart of the island.
James stood on the dock with a complicated expression, watching his former companions walk towards the boat. He used to be one of them, but now he can only watch from the side.
"Pop." After a steel palm stretched out from behind, he patted James on the broad shoulder. "The people on the island have become a little impetuous, so look up on the island for me, don't let people take advantage of it. I don't worry about others."
"Captain, don't worry, as long as I live for one day! You will definitely complete your mission!!" James said with a very firm expression.
Charles smiled, and after smashing his sturdy chest with his hand, he turned and walked towards the Narwhal. "Drop anchor! Set sail!!"
As the sailors worked hard to turn the windlass, the heavy iron chain with rust slowly pulled out of the water.
"Woo~~" As the Narwhal made a low whistle, it led the crew on the deck toward the dark sea.
"Selling newspapers! Major news of the earth and sea, Governor Julio and Governor Swann negotiated for the first time. If you want to know what they talked about, come and buy a morning newspaper. Two responses!! !"
A newspaper boy with a peaked cap, waving the newspaper in his hand, shouting loudly in the street.
"Give me a copy." His voice was hoarse with deep sadness.
"Okay, lady, this is your newspaper. There are two responses."
The newsboy handed the brand-new newspaper with the smell of ink to Margaret who had wrapped herself in a robe.
Marguerite scanned the newspaper quickly, looking for clues to kill her father and enemy.
After reading the newspaper soon, her eyes dimmed instantly.
Governor Julio really sat down and talked, and the only hope of revenge disappeared.
Thinking of the scene where her father and brother desperately sent herself out, Marguerite's heart hurts like a knife.
"My father, brother..." Margaret bit her lip and walked towards the residence.
If I had directly asked Charles for his help at that time, maybe the situation between his father and his brother would be completely different.
But because of the ridiculous emotion, she actually ran back without looking back, completely forgetting her purpose of coming to Hope Island.
She felt deeply self-blame. All this seems to be caused by oneself. "Why is this... Why did I refuse to agree to my father's marriage request?"
Back in the small building that she had wrapped up, Margaret walked in with a difficult step.
She was very confused at this time, she didn't know what to do, and how to face the next situation.
Almost instinctively ~EbookFREE.me~ She walked towards her mother's room. She suddenly longed for her mother's hug, she wanted to hide in that warm embrace and never come out.
Along the icy corridor, she walked to a bedroom, her soft lips trembling slightly and asked: "Mother, what should we do next?"
As the jewel of Hefang Island, no one told her what to do next in this situation.
There was no sound coming from the room, as if there was no one in it.
"Mother, I'm so scared now... Are you there? You... Can you hug me?"
She just touched the wooden door with her slender fingers, and found that the door was only empty.
"Crack~" The door opened and Marguerite's body twitched like an electric shock.
Her mother, Karita, was lying on the bed, the blood hole in her temple was dripping with blood, and the murder weapon was a revolver in her hand.
