Twenty Seven Years

  Chapter 229 Untitled

   "Why?" Veraker was relieved when he first heard Keating said that he knew each other, but he didn't expect that the appearance of Boss Xin would be bad news for them.

"I don't know him very well, just acquaintance." Keating stood in front of the window worriedly, frowning as he observed the Quinn Tavern, which hadn't changed much. On the contrary, I hated my parents for arranging me to study medicine. He was from a poor family but loved medicine. At that time, I really hoped that we could exchange lives, that he would become an excellent doctor, and I would travel around the world freely.”

  In the previous few months, Keating hadn't told Veraker about his past with Wilson in detail, and Veraker was also quite curious about this person.

Keating let out a heavy snort: "But that was just hope. Later, I fled to Wellland to study and met Ravel. He was drafted into the army and met Xin in the army. When I went back, he I have given up my plan to become a doctor, and was led by Xin to become a butcher. When he introduced me to Xin, I was very angry because I had just fulfilled my dream. Why didn’t he stick to it? Xin changed him, so he had a big fight with Xin, and they broke up in the end."

  Villac sighed: "Wilson made the change because of helplessness..."

"It's just that when I understood this truth, it was already the eve of going to Bresci to assist Ravel in power." Keating shook his head slightly, perhaps regretting that he couldn't empathize with him when he was young and vigorous, "All I can do is, Just give him the Quinn Tavern so he doesn't have to do the dirty work."

   "So, the conflict between you and Xin was caused by Wilson?"

"It started because of Wilson, but it's not just that." Keating said, "He does have some good shining points, such as emphasizing affection and righteousness, but I can't stand his short-sightedness, his greed for money, and his vulgarity. So our relationship has always been so bad, and over time Wilson deliberately avoided us meeting."

  Verak came to another window and looked out with Keating: "What you said, he is in trouble, is it because he is greedy for money?"

"Well. If he knows that there is a huge wealth worth 200 million gold grams and 100 billion luns hidden under his feet, he will definitely keep it for himself, and kill everyone who knows this secret at all costs." Kid Ting stared at it for a while, then went to pick up his clothes, "But this is also good news, even he still looks like this, rubbing the wine in Quinn's Tavern every day, which means that the matter of gold has not been discovered yet .”

   "Yes, you mean to..."

   "Go and see Wilson." Keating put on his hat, wanting to see his best friend who passed away a year ago.

   "...I'll be with you."

  …

   Keating hasn't come back for a long time, but he is still familiar with the terrain, so he took Verak back to a beach on foot.

  The cold wind pierced through the bones, Keating was used to smiling, so he still looked kind and gentle.

  But Verac can feel it, Keating is very sad.

   "You..." He wanted to say something, but he was struggling with how to make Keating feel better.

"We used to come here when we were young." Keating faced the wind, wrapped his clothes tightly, and kicked the gravel with his toes, "He likes to look at the sea very much, and he was forced to look at the sea and saw that he had suffered from heat stroke. I was the one who carried him to the clinic." of."

   "No wonder he chose to be buried in the sea after death."

   "If I hadn't been captured by Blessie's people, many things would have changed." Keating felt a little regretful, and he shook his head helplessly, "I have missed too many things in the past two years."

  Verak was imprisoned for two months, and he felt that he wasted a lot of time, let alone Keating, who was imprisoned for more than two years and only saw the sun a handful of times.

  They stayed where they were for a long, long time.

  Villac didn't urge Keating, and Keating didn't say anything, just walked around, and sometimes froze.

"...Let's go, go back." Near noon, Keating turned to face Veraker, still smiling as he passed by, "It's time to have lunch, I miss gumbo soup, donuts, smoked salmon... I'll take you too Try Dunman's food."

   "Okay." In the unfamiliar place of Old Nanyue, Veraker listened to Keating's arrangements. "By the way, didn't you say there are people you know? Are you going to find them next?"

   "No hurry." Keating strode ahead, "There are too many changes here, we need to understand it before we can make plans for the next step."

   Seeing that Keating seemed to be coming out of his grief, Verak felt relieved and asked Jin the question: "Do you have any clue about the matter of Jin?"

   "Do you have any ideas?" Keating asked Veraker first as usual.

   "I don't. You are familiar with this place, and you know more about Boss Xin."

"My identity is too special. It's best not to let them notice that I'm still alive and back when it's not necessary. The reason you just went in is reasonable, but you can only go in once. In other words, we can't even enter now. I can't get in, so I can only find a way from the outside." Keating said.

  Verak nodded: "I feel that Willow is easier to get along with. He intends to drive me out before Boss Xin kills me."

   "That kid is really good."

   "Does he know about gold?"

"At least I haven't told him." Keating was not sure, "But he is Wilson's child after all. If Wilson wants to pass this matter on to someone before he dies, then that person can only be he."

Verac recalled their initial thoughts: "Either we try to buy the Quinn's Tavern? Boss Sim is so greedy for money, and Willow seems to have everything to do with him. If we bid high enough, they should sell. Money It’s easy to talk about the matter, let’s contact Boyin and the others, they will prepare enough money for us, after all, buying a tavern is really nothing compared to 200 million gold grams.”

"We came here this time with the intention of staying here for a long time, so don't be in a hurry, and don't be in a hurry. First find out the situation, and then carefully think of a way to get the gold back." Keating was very calm, Press Verak who just came here and wanted to solve all the problems quickly.

   "Then the next step is to continue to observe the Quinn Tavern, and check how your former friends are doing now?"

"Yes."

   "Okay, I will do as you say." Verak let out a long breath to make himself less impatient.

   Keating changed the topic: "Have you heard about Dunman's food?"

   "No..." In the past, it was enough for Verak to fill his stomach, so he didn't have time to delve into the specialties of other countries.

Keating talked about Dunman's eating habits: "In fact, Dunman people prefer to eat dairy products, meat, polenta, oatmeal and sugar, which can fill their stomachs. Compared with vegetables, they are not so welcome..."

   I'm back, thank you for your concern. In addition, I haven't paid attention to rest these few days, and I will surprise everyone tomorrow.
