Count of Monte Cristo

When Edmund and Linke walked out of the prison, their hearts were a little heavy.

"I didn't expect to have such a harvest when I came to the prison."

"Yeah!" Edmund exhaled, "We can plan better. God is obviously on our side."

"Maybe God really exists." Lin Ke said, why else would he travel through time.He thought of what Bertuccio said again, Villefort... "He buried his son alive!" Lin Ke's tone was full of anger and disbelief.

"Maybe he's done something worse, God knows, just waiting for the time to hit him hard."

"This behavior is scarier than ghosts."

Edmund glanced at Lin Ke and said, "I like ghosts. I have never heard that the evil deeds committed by the dead in 6000 years can exceed the crimes committed by the living in one day." The words made Lin Ke shudder.

Edmund's face was gloomy, and his tone was as cold as ice and snow.

"...I'm so hungry. Are you hungry?" Lin Ke quickly changed the topic, and Edmund followed his wishes, his face softened, "Go to the cafe next to the tavern?" There are desserts that Linko likes there .

"Okay, is Heidi okay?"

"Miss Freeman will take care of her."

The two were walking on the road, and they talked about what happened to Bertuccio again, "Do you have a way to make Caderos plead guilty?"

"I haven't. But there's a way with money."

"That's right." Money is omnipotent is an unchanging law.Lin Ke nodded silly, "Where did you let Jacob go?"

"Your attention is always in strange places, now empty your head, don't think about anything, and enjoy the food."

"Okay." Linko said in a long voice, stepping on Edmond's shadow.Edmond could only shake his head helplessly, they were still dressed as priests and priests.

As he was walking, Lin Ke suddenly yelled: "I remembered! The last time I met a thief, the time I was bumped into, that person was Bertuccio! That time the military police were chasing him. He is also the one who peeped on the second floor of the Dubanga Inn!"

Edmund couldn't help rubbing his head, "You react very quickly." It was obviously a joke that he reacted slowly.

"Stop rubbing it." Lin Ke complained, "That's enough... I'm going to find Sykes tomorrow, and the new Pharaoh should be back soon."

"Here we are." Edmund smiled without saying a word, and dragged Lin Ke into the cafe.

The two enjoyed a perfect afternoon tea.Afterwards, they returned to the hotel and began to prepare for tomorrow's tasks and plans.

Edmund had already found out clearly that Menglian was not out of the crisis of bankruptcy. He borrowed money everywhere, but the wall was overturned by everyone, and no one was willing to lend a hand in the crisis.I heard that his son has got the news and is coming back.

The next day came quickly and Jacob returned with good news.

Several people work separately.

Lin Ke's task is to find Miss Youli, Menglian's daughter, tell her the address, and remind her to fulfill the previous agreement.

Jacob's task was to bring Maximilian, Montaigne's son, home quickly, and he was still on his way home, while Edmund, disguised as an Englishman, was to meet his benefactor and Complete his journey of gratitude.As for Heidi, she wanted to continue her learning tasks.

Lin Ke came to the small building where they lived early in the morning, waiting for Youli to come out. She would take a walk in the morning every day.

"Hello, Miss Youli, do you remember me?"

"I remember, did you come with that British banker?" The girl was stunned, and after thinking about it, she quickly remembered, "Did your agent ask you to come? Father is on the second floor, do you need me to inform you?"

"No, miss, I'm just here to see you."

"Looking for me? What do you want from me?"

"Someone asked me to give you this letter, saying it would be of some help to your father."

"Do you know who it is?" You Li asked curiously after taking the letter that Linke handed her.

"I don't know too well. He just said that to me. I'm just a messenger." Lin Ke shrugged. "Since I have delivered the letter, Miss Yuli, goodbye, and good luck."

"Thank you, sir, and good luck to you."

Lin Ke walked away quickly, and after walking for 2 minutes, You Li caught up with her out of breath, "Please wait a moment, sir, please wait a moment."

"What's going on, miss?" Lin Ke stopped and looked at Yuli, who was sweating profusely. It's very impolite for such a lady to run wildly. Go to Long Lane, enter the house with the number No. 15, and ask the porter for the key to the door on the sixth floor. Enter that room, there is a purse made of red ribbon in the corner of the mantelpiece, bring To your lord. Note that he must receive the purse by eleven o'clock. You promised to do as I say. Keep your word. Enter Sinbad the Sailor." She read it as a letter on the "What does this mean?"

Lin Ke shook his head, "I'm sorry miss, I don't understand what you mean, I'm just a courier, I don't know Sinbad, maybe you will understand everything when you go there."

"But……"

"Of course, you can also consult with someone. Miss, I should leave." Lin Ke walked forward after speaking.

Youli had no choice but to watch Lin Ke leave. She held the letter thoughtfully, read the letter again, and found a line of small words underneath: You must complete this mission alone.

She hesitated for a long time, remembered Emmanuel, and decided to ask her lover.

"If what is said in the letter is true, then father will be saved." She murmured, running fast.

At the same time, Edmund also came to Montlain Company.He's talking to Montlain now.

"Dear sir, today is our scheduled day, isn't it?"

"Yes." Monsieur Montlain nodded slowly, "I will pay you 28 francs."

"Well. Are you free from difficulties?"

Mr. Montlain's old forehead was tightly wrinkled, his cheeks sunken suddenly, his lips trembled, and he sighed heavily.

"Dear sir, you have helped me before, and you are willing to give me a period of time. I will remember your generosity and kindness. Now I am sorry to disappoint you. You saw it when you came. My property is about to go bankrupt. I . . . I'm afraid I'll never be able to pay your debts. . . . Well, I, I have only fifteen thousand, two hundred and fifty francs. Lord, forgive me."

Edmund glimpsed a gun on his desk.

He approached, "Won't you ask me to sit down? Then give me a cup of tea?"

Montlain hurriedly asked Edmund to sit on the wooden chair, and asked the maid to serve tea.

Edmund held the tea and said slowly: "So, have you tried everything?"

"Yes," replied Morrel.

"Have you no more money to recover?"

"No more, no more..."

"Then you?" Edmund asked again, and Montlain looked a little dazed.He murmured, his voice low and inaudible, "Maybe it's time to wash away these shames with blood."

"Sir?" cried Edmund. "Mr. Montaign, are you all right?"

"It's okay, it's okay. Sir, please rest assured that my son will repay your debt on my behalf. As for me, I have to pay the price for my behavior."

Edmund stepped forward suddenly, "You will pay with your life!"

Meng Lien shuddered, his voice was hoarse, he lowered his head, and said something: "If I live, everything will become more complicated, and I will be treated as a disgrace, not keeping promises, not taking responsibility, My friends will leave me too, and those cares will turn to suspicion, and those pities will turn to hostility. Those good things will turn to hatred. If I live, I'm just a man who doesn't keep his promises and can't pay his debts, Old people who have lost their property. If I lived, then even my best friends would avoid my house, dead, they may think of my kindness and trust in life."

Edmund made a short sound, and Montlain continued: "My son Maximilian is a decent and kind young man, please give him a period of time after my death and he will definitely repay your debt. An old man's request to you, sir."

Edmund said emotionally: "Dear sir, you are so great, I shouldn't treat a great and respected person like this, please don't give up your life. You only have one life, think about your loved ones, Think about your glory, think about your property, how can you choose to die because of a debt of 30 yuan....I don’t need you to pay my debt, sir.”

"You don't have to pity me, kind sir. I have already made a decision, please leave, I have to arrange some things." Menglian stood up and made a gesture of seeing off the guests.

Edmund wanted to say something more, but seeing Menglian's cold and hopeless expression, he sighed and silently estimated the time, Yuli should be back soon.

"Mr. Menglian, please wait and be patient for a while, maybe things will turn around."

Menglian's eyes flashed, "Sir, thank you for your relief, and may God bless you."

Edmund walked out of the room and went downstairs. He didn't see anyone, not even the cashier. He looked at the second floor again, and then hid in a corner in a flash.

He waited for a while, very afraid that Mr. Moonley would shoot himself, but he was lucky. A girl ran over quickly. She rushed up the stairs like a gust of wind, and knocked open Mr. Moonley's door. Shouting: "Father, we are saved, we are saved!!"

"Save, my boy!" asked Morrel in surprise. "What are you talking about?"

Edmund heard Menglie's surprised voice, "What are you talking about? My child." He smiled, walked out of the corner, and glanced at the second floor. The intermittent conversation between the father and daughter came, and he knew that Menglie Eun will not commit suicide anymore, Yuli got the money bag.

Edmund murmured: "God always leaves hope for you where there is despair."

"Yes, I'm saved, I'm saved! Look, look!" the young girl said joyfully, and Edmond walked out of the small building, when another figure rushed over and bumped into Edmund, the man said I'm sorry, I didn't even raise my head, and ran directly to the second floor, shouting while running: "Pharaoh! Pharaoh! Pharaoh is back!!"

Edmund knew that the affairs on Sykes' side had also been successfully completed, and he walked briskly out of the company. People on the street seemed to know that the Pharaoh had returned, and a large group of them rushed to the port.

Edmund followed the crowd, and a large ship was parked at the port.The Menglian family embraced excitedly on the shore, and the citizens cheered and applauded as they watched this miracle.

Edmund looked at this scene and showed a relieved smile. "Be merry, noble heart! May God bless all the good you have done and will do, and let my gratitude and your favor be hidden!"

Lin Ke suddenly appeared beside him, holding Heidi by his hand, and they were in the crowd.

"Report sir, the mission has been successfully completed."

"Where's Jacob?"

"On the yacht."

"Let's go." Heidi raised her head and said charmingly.

Lin Ke took out the binoculars and watched Jacob waving to them.He handed the binoculars to Edmund, who took it, patted his head, and looked at the center of the crowd—the Montlain family.The joy and gratitude were so evident on their faces.

"And now," said Edmund, "farewell to mercy, humanity, and gratitude! Farewell to all noble affections, for which I have rewarded the good. And now the vengeful God has empowered me to punish the wicked! "
