The power of the mind of beauty

Chapter 228 Gifts
Harlem Paradise is still carrying out regular programs as usual. After the night falls, when the time comes, the lights of the audience will gather on the stage. A black musician with white hair but energetic stands in front of the microphone, As the lights fell, the closed eyes slowly opened, and at the same time, the accompaniment band behind him started a long beginning of a gentle piece of music.

The most unique location on the second floor, behind the cross-shaped window, the smiling water viper Cornell Stokes began to lift his fingers on the trousers beside him, and then slowly tapped on the On the legs, a rhythmic music point formed, as usual.

The dream of a musician is a dream that can never be fulfilled for the water moth. When he embarks on this path, he has already lost the qualification to pursue the dream of music, although he was forced to embark on this path , but, well, there is no but, so he can only entertain himself here.

"Wait outside!"

A voice with a bad tone suddenly sounded from outside the room, and then the door was pushed open with a slam. Maria Dillard walked in with a black face, closed the door again with a slam, and walked in with great strides , threw the bag on the sofa forcefully.

The smile on Cornell's face disappeared in an instant, and the movement of his fingers stopped in an instant, and he slowly clenched into a fist, making a crisp sound, and turning his brows together to look around.

"You disturbed me!" He said in a deep voice, looking coldly at the person coming.

"Maybe you are too idle, Cornell, do you know that the rattlesnake missed his hand?" Maria Dillard snorted coldly at the water viper, and said sharply, "The police probably got that guy a recording!"

Cornell frowned and said, "What are you afraid of? I have already ordered the waiter and the gangster to be dealt with. It is a routine procedure. Only that recording has no power to judge us."

"That recording may not affect you now, what next? And it may have a serious impact on me!"

Maria Dillard said angrily: "I am a politician, and I am a politician who has contributed to Harlem. You don't know the virtues of those media reporters. If that recording is circulated, all of my Efforts may fall short, the community I worked hard to build will be shut down, I will be investigated, and then we will be exposed for misappropriating construction funds. Do you think you will not be implicated? We will all be finished , all those high-sounding words you said at Dad’s funeral will become jokes! Jokes!!”

Seeing Maria's wide-eyed eyes full of uncontrollable anger, Cornell's face instantly turned ugly. Maria's words made him realize the seriousness of this matter. Before, he thought that the woman and Luke Cage saw that the two people he killed were something that needs to be taken seriously, but because he has a channel that can easily dispose of the corpses-a funeral home, only one or two operations are required, and it is difficult for anyone to find his criminal evidence, so He was never worried about this, but he was obviously wrong. He didn't expect that it was definitely not just the two corpses that needed attention. Even compared to the recording, the two corpses were already trivial matters.

"Damn! Damn Stryker!" Thinking of this, he couldn't help cursing.

One of the reasons why he suddenly scolded the Rattlesnake was that the Rattlesnake did not complete what he asked for, and the other reason was that the construction funds that Maria said were used on the Rattlesnake. A well-known figure in the underground world, as the master of the underground gangsters in Harlem, he naturally understands how greedy rattlesnakes are, so this was a risky choice, but even if he took such a risk, something bad for them still appeared. Condition.

"I paid the Rattlesnake! He shouldn't have given me this result!"

Cornell roared and said that even the soothing music outside could not bring him peace at this time. Compared with the untouchable music dream, it is obvious that the business that has been in business for many years is more important to him.

Maria Dillard's ugly face flashed coldness, she took a few steps towards Cornell, looked directly into Cornell's angry eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Cornell , Things have come to this point, we have to plan our way out."

"Do you have any idea?"

Seeing the flicker in his cousin's eyes, Cornell knew that the other party had plans.

"Who caused us to get to where we are today!" Maria said with a fierce stare.

"You mean... Stryker?" Cornell asked uncertainly, his eyebrows furrowed together for a moment.

"It's him." Compared to Cornell's cautiousness, Maria directly confirmed that she wanted to take this insatiable arms dealer with a knife, "He took the benefits but failed to fulfill our requirements, so we will Take back what we paid, and make him pay again!"

"Wow oh oh!!"

A playful strange sound suddenly sounded from outside the door, and then the door was pushed open again, Willis Stryker applauded lightly, walking away with a weird smile on his face as if he was doing a drill Come in.

"Strike!" Seeing the person coming, Maria Dillard, who was speaking passionately just now, suddenly exclaimed, and subconsciously staggered back.

Cornell frowned coldly, looked at Willis Stryker's face with a strange smile, and said in a deep voice, "What do you want to do?"

"Oh? What do I want to do? I haven't asked you what you want to do yet." Rattlesnake lowered his head and sneered, but still kept a strange smile on his face.

"You didn't do what you were supposed to, and I paid the price."

"Since I have received your reward, I will complete your request. Although I have not completed it now, but... I have brought you a gift, and I believe you will like it."

After finishing speaking, he took out a mobile phone from the pocket inside the windbreaker, and threw it out casually.

Cornell took two steps forward and reached out to catch the phone, glanced suspiciously at Rattlesnake, and pressed the power button, then his eyes widened suddenly, and he turned his head and handed it to Maria.

Maria took a look, her complexion changed rapidly, but the joy flashed in her eyes was very obvious.

"I told you you'd like it," Rattlesnake grinned.

"Ahem!" Maria coughed and stepped forward, "I like this gift very much."

"Hmm." Rattlesnake nodded.

"I apologize to you for my previous faux pas, I'm sorry." Maria said with a smile, showing the style of a politician.
