13 Mingke Street

Chapter 80 Pirate Code

Chapter 80 of the main volume of No. 13 Mingke Street, on the rocky beach on the north side of the pirate code island, Aselos opened his mouth and stuck out his tongue, and all the people who were previously in his mouth came out.

There is a mucous membrane area in Aseros' mouth. When a person enters, this layer of mucous membrane will close to isolate the outside water flow, and will open again during each breath to let fresh air in.This area is very dry, but unfortunately there is no furniture, so everyone can only sit on suitcases.In the memory of Puer, in the position of Aseros' father's mouth, there were tables, chairs, nautical charts, and sand tables. The Allen family used Aseros as the flagship of the pirate group.However, now, in the same position in his son's mouth, there is not even a bench.After coming ashore, Mrs. Janine faced Aseros:"Thank you for your help. The Allen family will always cherish our friendship with you."Aseros did not respond and dived into the sea, disappearing without a trace.From a former pet, to a companion, and now to a favor returned;This is a relationship curve, and also the best interpretation of the downfall of the Allen family.In the distance on the hillside, several figures appeared. After a while, a group of people wearing leather jackets and carrying guns around their waists walked towards here. The leader was a middle-aged man with a beard.

"Jenny, you're back! Oh, my darling Eunice, you look even more beautiful." The stubble-faced man and Jenny warmly greeted Eunice, but his gaze remained on Karen."Big brother, thank you for personally picking us up." Mrs. Jenny said."Uncle." Eunice greeted."And this is young master Karen?" The stubble-faced man reached out his hand to Karen, "Hello, young master of the Inmores family, you can call me Wood from now on.""Nice to meet you."Karen shook his hand, but in the next moment, he felt a burning pain in his palm.Alfred immediately stepped forward, his eyes turning blood red;But Wood let go of his hand at this moment, and Karen struggled to shake his palm."He really is a young master." Wood's lips curved into a smile.

Karen stopped Alfred and her expression remained gentle as she said, "I have disappointed you." The Puer tea sitting on Karen's shoulder looked at Wood with a look of disdain. It's happening, it's happening, it's happening! The law that the Allen family will do stupid things whenever there is a possibility of stupidity is about to begin! She had been in a bad mood on the ferry, but Jenny and Eunice didn't let her down. But as soon as they arrived at Corona Island, a fool appeared! Fool, i***t, stupid, are you setting the stage?

Please help me translate, "Give Karen a reasonable reason to leave the Allen family?The golden retriever next to them stopped its playful expression from when it first landed, closed its mouth, and stared at Wood.Wood shifted his gaze to Alfred and smiled at him;Then he looked back at the golden retriever on the ground, reached out to play with it, but the dog completely ignored him and instead showed its teeth."This dog seems to have a temper."Then,He pointed to the Pu'er tea on Karen's shoulder and said,"There's something Karen may not know, which is that the Allen family does not allow cats."Karen continued to smile and nodded, saying,"But this cat means something different to us."

"Karen uses 'we';After all, this is the ancestor of your Allen family, and, as expected, the tradition of not allowing cats in the Allen family should also have some connection with Pu'er."Even when a whale enters shallow waters, it still needs to tuck in its belly." Wood smiled, "I believe Master Karen will respect the traditions of our Allen family.""Uncle, I think these matters should be decided by my father and grandfather."Eunice walked to Karen's side and naturally wrapped her arm around his, the standard posture for a female companion to a male companion in social situations.Pu'er turned his head to look at Eunice beside him,The old ancestor was greatly relieved,Good great-great-great-great niece, as long as you're not foolish;As long as you continue to persist like this, there's no reason for this surname Inmores to fly solo.Wood shrugged and didn't feel angry at his niece's words. Instead, he waved his hand to signal the people behind to come and help with the ceremony, then turned to Mrs. Janney and said:

"Jenny, we need to walk a little further. Once we reach the town, I will arrange for you to rest.""Thank you for your help." Mrs. Jenny's attitude towards Wood had also become colder.Led by Wood, the group walked along a mountain path and entered the town of Corona.The town was built near the port, and there were still several medium-sized cargo ships docked there. As for the smaller boats, there were even more, densely packed around the outskirts of the port.Wood and his group had a high status in the town, and as they entered, people of all kinds respectfully greeted him.The place where the group would be staying tonight was a guild, belonging to the Allen family's inn.Hmm, across from it was also owned by the Allen family, with four floors. The first floor was a tavern, the second floor was a casino, and the third and fourth floors were brothels.After entering the guild, Karen went to her room and tried turning on the faucet in the bathroom. After a while, she was surprised to find that hot water was flowing out. She immediately took off her clothes and took a shower.After the shower, she felt refreshed and comfortable. As she sat on the bed and adjusted the pillows, she noticed a brochure under the pillow. Opening it, she saw a list of prostitutes with their prices and services. The most expensive ones had photos, while the rest only had written descriptions. There were not only women of different races, but also a few pages at the end marked with "male" service providers.Karen threw the brochure onto the bedside table and leaned against the bed.

Golden lay on the sofa, facing this way.Puer then jumped onto the bedside table and began flipping through the last few pages of the roster."Is this a smuggling island?" Karen asked Puer.Puer flipped a page with his paw and said, "It should be now.""What about before?""Before, this was the Allen family's fiefdom. Hundreds of years ago, when Vien was not yet a powerful country, they relied on privately formed pirate groups to expand and raid. At that time, the leader of the infamous pirate army could even receive a title from the royal family.""So the Allen family started from this?""In strict terms, not really. But that period was indeed the peak of the Allen family. When I left Vien, Corona Island was still under the control of the Allen family, and all the people on the island were their vassals."

At that time, the Allen family used this place as their base, where pirate ships would rest and the fighting power of the pirates and their ships was not inferior to that of the Royal Navy.Now, as you can see, it's gone;This place can only be considered a transit station for the family's smuggling.""Is this place far from the mainland of Wayne?""Not far, we should leave with tomorrow's cargo ship. York City is by the sea, so we can go directly to York City by sea and then take a car to the outskirts to reach the Allen Manor.Once we're here, we're basically home. That's how I used to feel.""Okay.""Also, don't mess with Wood." Puer reminded, "Although I've only met him for the first time, I'm sure that being sent by the family to be in charge of this small island means he doesn't have much status in the family.He was probably exiled here by Eunice's father and grandfather;These kinds of people, it's normal for them to have a bad temper and be a little strange, right?"

Karen placed her right hand in front of herself, and there was still a slight redness on the back of her hand:"I don't have any resentment towards him."Puer paused and coldly snorted:"Even quite like his style, right?""That's because I have always had a friendly attitude towards the Allen family.""Karen, why didn't I feel your hypocrisy when we were in Luo Jia?""Because at home, I only need to be sincere." Karen leaned back and found a more comfortable position, "When sincerity is enough, who would want to pick up hypocrisy.""You really sound like a poet now.""That's because most poets only write beautiful poems after leaving home.""Duo Duo Duo..."

The door was knocked on.Karen got up, got out of bed, and before he could open the door, it was pushed open from the outside.Wood leaned against the door frame, with a cigar in his mouth, looking at Karen.The golden retriever got off the couch and stared at Wood;Puer lowered his head and thought to himself: This silly nephew is here to give him a helping hand again.Outside the door, behind Wood, Alfred, who lived in the room next to Karen, had already come out."Mr. Wood, is there something you need?" Karen asked proactively.Wood looked at Karen, took off his cigar, and blew out a smoke ring: "I'm here to invite you to dinner, for tonight.""Okay, thank you, Mr. Wood."Karen didn't say anything. When he was on someone else's turf, he would definitely follow their arrangements. He picked up his coat and asked while putting it on:

"Has Mrs. Jenny and Miss Eunice already left?""No, it's just you and me. Do you mind?""No, it's my honor."Karen followed Wood out of the room, Pu'er jumped onto his shoulder and sat down, and the golden retriever followed behind Karen, followed by Alfred.Looking at the cat on the young master's shoulder and the dog at his feet, Alfred frowned slightly;In the past, he would have been satisfied just by being able to paint on the walls; now, he was starting to consider positions and angles.He didn't know if this was because he had become more conceited or if he had developed dreams;But when he looked at the dog that he had "sealed" with his own hands, Alfred's brow relaxed and he didn't feel as depressed.The place Wood brought Karen to should be his office, which was quite spacious. There was a desk by the window, with brandy and a large piece of roasted meat on top, covered in a dark sauce.Karen's stomach had been growling, but seeing this hearty dish, she suddenly felt full.

Wood cut a piece of meat and threw it directly to the golden retriever."What's its name?""Kevin."The golden retriever didn't even look at the large piece of meat on the ground."You can let it eat the meat.""Eat, Kevin."The golden retriever picked up the meat and crouched down to eat.Wood then looked at the black cat that came with Karen. At this moment, the black cat was lying on the windowsill, its eyes looking at itself with a melancholic and sad expression.It's hard to imagine that a cat's eyes can express such rich emotions;Wood thought he was overthinking and poured Karen a drink first.

"Can you drink alcohol?""I can't.""Well, for the first glass, you have to finish it.""Okay."Wood finished his drink in one gulp, and Karen did the same."This is not drinking?" Wood laughed, picking up the bottle to pour more for Karen, but she gently covered the mouth of her glass with her hand."Do you have orange juice?"Wood was taken aback, still holding the bottle and looking at Karen.Karen continued to cover her glass with a polite smile.The two of them were frozen in place.

Pu'er sighed and couldn't bear to look, turned his head to look at the lively town street outside the window: tired, let it be destroyed.Who would have thought,Wood smiled, put down the wine bottle, and shouted at the door:"Get some orange juice, other fruit juices are also fine, soda is also fine, hurry up and bring it over.""Drink less alcohol, especially when you are young." Wood said, pouring himself a full glass and then downing another one. "When you are young, there are many things you need to do, but when you get older, you become more casual.""Actually, drinking alcohol is never good for your health, no matter when." Karen reminded, of course, he knew that this kind of reminder would easily cause resentment from someone who loves to drink."Well, you're right." Wood pointed to the distant pier with his finger. It's already this late, but there are still many dock workers unloading goods. "But sometimes, it's impossible for people to live completely comfortably. This kind of heavy physical labor of carrying things can also cause harm to the body, so I'll just use this to make up for it.""You make a good point."A very charming woman with purple hair walked over with three kinds of fruit juice:"What would you like to drink?" the woman asked, "We have orange juice, apple juice, and grape juice here."

"Orange juice is fine.""Do you need ice?""That would be great.""Okay."The woman first put ice in Karen's cup, then poured in the orange juice."Thank you.""You're welcome."Wood pointed to the woman and said, "This is my wife, Elena."Karen stood up and half-bowed to the woman:"Madam, hello."

"Please have a seat, no need to be so polite." The woman scolded her husband with a glance. "I'm making soup in the kitchen, I'll bring it to you later.""Thank you for your hard work, madam.""My dear, our handsome young man is really well-mannered.""Hahaha." Wood also laughed."Father, why did you call me over? Oh, mother is here too."At this moment, a girl with a nose ring and two knives tied to her waist walked in. The knives had special patterns on them."Come, let me introduce you to my daughter, Kamila."Kamila saw Karen sitting across from her father. When Karen turned to greet her, the usually fierce girl suddenly became nervous and awkward.In the town of Corona, the most common people are rough sailors and drunken alcoholics. Where have they seen such a clear and refined young man? When he stands in front of you, it's like admiring a painting."Cough." Wood coughed and reminded, "Kamila."

Karen's mother, Elena, hugged her daughter's shoulder and said to Karen, "Please don't mind, my daughter grew up on this island since she was young and has never seen such a handsome young man like you.""Ah, mother, what are you saying!" Karen finally came back to her senses, her face turning red.Luckily, her subordinates didn't see this scene. If they knew that their boss, who enjoyed personally breaking the rules and smuggling, also had such a girlish side, they would go crazy."Hello, Karen, my name is Karen, from the neighboring island of Rulun.""You...hello, I'm Karen, from the neighboring island of Korona."Ugh, what am I even saying!!!"Alright, let your father and the guest have dinner, we'll go out first." Elena hugged her daughter and left.Karen sat back down."I'm sorry for embarrassing you," Wood said."It's okay, Karen is very cute."

"I haven't heard anyone praise her cuteness in almost ten years. Maybe the last time was when she was still a baby.""Every girl is made of water, and they all have a cute and gentle side."Pu'er turned to look at Karen next to him. Really, ever since he left, he has become more and more like a poet!"Very philosophical description." Wood raised his glass again, and Karen also raised her orange juice. "I believe there must be no shortage of girls who like you.""Not really." Karen shook her head. "In the past, I had some mental problems. Have you heard of autism? I used to like to isolate myself and not socialize."Pu'er frowned: Do you need to be so sincere to everyone in the Allen family, even confessing what illness you had before?"Oh, I see. I believe it must have been difficult to come out of it." Wood said."The truth is, no one is sure if I have really come out of it, and there is a possibility that I might go back again. With this kind of illness, no one can say for sure." Pu'er: "!!!!""Ah." Wood sighed and said, "I apologize for my behavior when we first met this afternoon."

"Speaking, Wood stood up and bowed to Karen.Karen also stood up immediately, but was stopped by Wood's hand on her shoulder;Puer looked up at Wood with some confusion, and a glimmer of hope rose in her heart.Wood sat down and invited Karen to sit down as well;"I only learned about the current situation of your grandfather and the Inmores family from Jenny. Communication on this island is not always convenient.When we first met this afternoon, I wanted to show off my power to you, because in my eyes, you are the young master from the great Inmores family and I was worried that you would look down on our Allen family.""I didn't mean it that way.""Yes, now I know, it was just my small-mindedness. Do you know, there is another small island to the south of this island, with a small town controlled by the Raphael family.But a few days ago, a huge change occurred in the Raphael family, causing chaos within their family and various factions started fighting. The day before yesterday, I led my men to take over that town on the island, making these two islands once again belong to the Allen family, although it may not be legal.""Congratulations."

"This is not difficult, because they have already split internally. When I took people there, someone inside had already made arrangements. In fact, it was not difficult to drive them away. What we were afraid of before was retaliation from the Raphael family. Now they are too busy to have any chance of revenge.In the letter my brother sent me last time, he mentioned that there might be trouble in the Raphael family in the next month, so I should be prepared.Although my brother didn't tell me directly, when I found out that Jenny had returned from her visit and brought a young man named Inmores with her, I guessed what was going on.Is that so?" Karen didn't answer."Then I guessed right," Wood said, "this is a deal, isn't it?""Yes," Karen said, "just a deal."Grandfather gave Mrs. Jenny a purple bookmark, and it should say Raphael on it without any surprises."Well," Wood nodded, "but I still have to thank your family. You know, in recent years, the Raphael family has been squeezing the living space of the Allen family in all aspects. I also have many brothers who died in the struggle with the Raphael family on this island.In fact, a few years ago, I had the opportunity to go back and inherit the position of family head."

"Hm?""But during a sea voyage, I was attacked by pirates under the Raphael family. My ship was destroyed and I was injured, so I had to jump into the sea to escape. I was eventually rescued by Elena's parents.""That's a thrilling experience, but also the beginning of a beautiful love story."Wood gave a bitter smile and continued:"The Raphael family started searching for me on nearby islands, and Elena's parents were killed while trying to hide me.""I'm sorry.""It's okay. At the time, Elena was several years younger than me and I saw her as my little sister. But I knew I owed her a lot. Later, I was rescued by my family and I insisted on bringing Elena home to meet my father and proposing to marry her.""But at the time, my father was grooming me to be the next leader of the family. And Elena, as an immigrant, was not from the Vein people, and not even from the Marklay lineage." Wood pointed to his hair. "As you just saw, her hair is purple."Karen nodded."My persistence angered my father, and I was stripped of my position as the next leader and sent to Corona Island to take care of our business here. Except for the occasional visit to my family's estate once or twice a year, I have to stay on this island most of the time. But..."

Wood laughed, "Elena and I have been living happily here.""You are a responsible man." Karen raised her glass of orange juice.Wood also raised his glass."I don't deserve any praise, I only know and remember one thing, if I owe someone a favor, no matter what, I have to repay it."The puerh tea on the windowsill slowly stood up, looking hopefully at Wood. It suddenly felt that this descendant with a stubble was a little bit cute."So, I thought you were a young master from the Great Church family, but when I found out about your grandfather and your family, I felt that I had to come and apologize to you.""It's really not necessary, Mr. Wood.""No, it's necessary!" Wood slammed the table with his hand, "I haven't spent enough time with my father and brother. My father is a bit rigid and my brother, after becoming the clan leader, I don't really understand him. But since they are sitting in those positions in the family, they must consider the interests of the family more.""Yes, I understand." Karen smiled."Clap!"

"Go to hell with understanding!" Wood smashed the remaining half bottle of brandy on the ground. "I can't understand, and I don't want to understand!" The Pu'er on the windowsill raised its meaty paw: "Well done, big beard, keep going, keep going, keep going!" Wood stood up and walked to Karen's side, hugging her and getting close to her face. Karen could smell the alcohol on his breath. "Promise me, when you go to the family estate and find that my father and brother are treating you badly or disrespecting you, don't pay attention to them, just go back to Corona Island. I will give you my position and accumulated wealth here, the industries here, my subordinates, my ships, everything I have, all for you! In addition, I will also give you Camilla as your wife!" Karen: "......" Karen blinked, why did things take such a strange turn? Pu'er almost stood up: "Big beard, well done, I am proud of you!"

"Mr. Wood, it's not necessary. I just need a place to stay..." Karen explained.He could afford to buy a small apartment and develop some side businesses. At the same time, he could try practicing the "faith system."Puer has always been right. Compared to the so-called "political marriage," Karen would rather be alone in a corner, slowly growing.Wood felt a little embarrassed:"Well, actually, I know that Camilla is not as pretty as my niece Eunice.""That's not true, Mr. Wood. Camilla is very cute.""When a man describes a woman as 'cute,' it means she's not your type." Wood patted Karen's shoulder. "I was young once too.""Um..." Karen."Or maybe you prefer someone more quiet? I'll make Camilla take off her nose ring and not wear those strange accessories, so she can become more demure.""You really don't have to do that, Mr. Wood."

"How can we not do it this way, we must do it this way! Your family has helped us, you don't know how the once Allen family's slaves, the Raphael family, have become such a great threat now.Now, your great grandfather has fallen into eternal sleep, and your family members can no longer enter the church system.You have lost everything;You came to Vienna;You came to the Allen family,I will never allow such ungratefulness to happen in front of me!Because many of my people, including my father and my brother, have forgotten;The family creed of the Allen family when they once ruled the seas,That is..."Wood clenched his right fist and pounded it on his chest:"The Allen family's creed was..."

Pu'er also raised his right paw and patted his own cat chest:"The Allen family, we will repay any kindness!"
