"Why?" Verak was relieved when he heard Keating say they knew each other at first, but he didn't expect that Boss Xin's appearance would be bad news for them.
"I'm not familiar with him, we just know each other." Keating stood worriedly in front of the window, frowning and observing the Quinn's Tavern, which had not changed much. "Wilson and I are good friends. We went to school together when we were young. We just happened to be together.
On the contrary, I was extremely disgusted that my parents arranged for me to study medicine. He came from a poor family but loved medicine. At that time, I really hoped that we could exchange lives and he would become an excellent doctor and I would travel around the world freely."
In the past few months, Keating had not told Verak about his past with Wilson in detail, and Verak was also quite curious about this man.
Keating let out a heavy snort: "But that was just hope. Later, I ran away to study in Wellland and met Ravel. He was recruited into the army and met Xin in the army. When I went back
, he had given up his plan to practice medicine and was
Xin Dai started to work as a butcher. When he introduced me to Xin, because I had just completed my dream, I was very angry about why he didn’t stick to it. I thought it was Xin who had changed him, so I started dating Xin.
We had a quarrel and eventually broke up."
Verak sighed: "Wilson made the change because he had no choice..."
"It's just that when I understood this truth, it was already on the eve of going to Bressy to assist Ravel in power." Keating shook his head slightly, perhaps regretting his inability to empathize with others when he was young and energetic, "What I can do is,
Just give him the Quinn's Tavern so he doesn't have to do the dirty work."
"So, the conflict between you and Xin started because of Wilson?"
"It started because of Wilson, but it's not just that." Keating said, "He does have some good shining points, such as his emphasis on love and justice, but I can't stand his short-sightedness and his greed for money. So we
The relationship has always been very bad, and over time Wilson deliberately avoided meeting us."
Verak came to another window and looked outside with Keating: "As you said, he is in trouble here because he is greedy for money?"
"Well. If he knew that there was a huge wealth worth 200 million gold grams and 100 billion ren hidden under his feet, he would definitely take it for himself and kill everyone who knew this secret at all costs."
Ting stared at it for a while, then went to pick up the clothes, "But this is also good news. Even he is still like this, drinking wine from Quinn's Tavern every day, which means that the gold matter has not been discovered yet.
.”
"Yes, you want to..."
"Go and see Wilson." Keating put on his hat and wanted to see his best friend who passed away a year ago.
"...I'll go with you."
…
Keating hadn't been back for a long time, but he was still familiar with the terrain, so he took Verak back to a beach on foot.
The cold wind was biting to the bone, but Keating was used to smiling, so he still looked kind and gentle.
But Verak could feel it, Keating was very sad.
"You..." He wanted to say something, but he was struggling with how to make Keating feel better.
"We used to come here a lot when we were kids." Keating hugged the wind, wrapped up his clothes tightly, and kicked the gravel with his toes. "He liked to watch the sea very much, and even watched it forcibly. He suffered a heat stroke from the sun. I was the one who carried him to the clinic.
of."
"No wonder he chose to be buried in the sea after his death."
"If I had not been captured by Brexi's people, many things would have changed." Keating felt a little regretful, and he shook his head helplessly, "In the past two years, I have missed too many things."
Verak felt like he had wasted a lot of time after being imprisoned for two months, let alone Keating, who had been imprisoned for more than two years and had only seen the sun a handful of times.
They stayed where they were for a long, long time.
Verak did not urge Keating, and Keating said nothing more. He just walked around, sometimes standing motionless.
"Let's go back." Keating turned to face Verak, and when he passed by Verak, he was still smiling, "It's time to go have lunch, I miss gumbo, donuts, smoked salmon... too.
I’ll take you to try Dunman’s delicacies.”
"Okay." In the Old South, a place he was unfamiliar with, Verak followed Keating's instructions. "Didn't you say there are people you know? Are you going to find them next?"
"There's no rush." Keating strode forward, "There are too many changes here. We need to understand them before we can make the next step."
Seeing that Keating seemed to be over his sadness, Verak felt relieved and asked Gold: "Do you have any idea about Gold?"
"What do you think?" Keating asked Verak what he thought first as usual.
"I don't. You are still familiar with this place, and you know Boss Xin better."
"My identity is too special. It's best not to let them notice that I'm still alive until necessary. I'm back. The reason you just entered makes sense, but you can only enter once. In other words, we can't even enter now.
If you can't get in, you can only find a way from the outside." Keating said.
Verak nodded: "I feel 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 the 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 thing on to one person before he dies, that person can only be
he."
Verak mentioned their initial thoughts: "How about we try to buy Quinn's Tavern? Boss Xin is so greedy for money, and Willow seems to listen to him. If we bid high enough, they should sell it. Money.
It's easy to talk about the matter. Let's contact Boyin and the others and they will prepare enough money for us. After all, compared with 200 million gold grams, buying a tavern is really nothing."
"We came here with the intention of staying here for a long time, so there is no need to rush or rush. We will find out everything about the situation first, and then carefully think of ways to get the gold back." Keating was very calm.
Suppressing Verak, who had just come here and wanted to solve all the problems quickly.
"Then the next step is to continue to observe Quinn's Tavern and check how your former friends are doing now?"
"Yes."
"Okay, I'll do as you say." Verak breathed a long sigh of relief to make himself less impatient.
Keating changed the subject: "Have you ever heard of the food in Dunman?"
"No..." In the past, Verak could only fill his stomach, so he had no 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. In comparison, vegetables are not so
