The speeding cars kicked up the fallen leaves and scattered them everywhere.
I think you should think more about your own situation and your next move, Carl, who was in the passenger seat, repeated.
Me? What do I need to consider? Boy, do you think I was scared? Joseph gripped the steering wheel with a gloomy look on his face.
Of course not, but you can't deny that this is a fact. In fact, I have a question that I am very curious about. Carl looked at Joseph and smiled.
Why don't you stay away from our territory, but live somewhere not too far away? If you didn't want to leave, why did you run away in the first place?
Will you catch me, put me in jail and wait for my execution at some time?
We didn't execute anyone.
Haha...Joseph sneered in response.
Carl didn't take it seriously and remained serious. Except for a few people who unfortunately died in the battle, we did not execute anyone from Woodbury and they all joined us.
Where's the Governor? You're not going to tell me that he's now working for your prison with a smile on his face?
He escaped, I gave him a chance, and I let him go. Carl said calmly, then leaned back in his seat and closed his eyes.
Oh? Joseph was slightly stunned, somewhat unconvinced.
It's hard to explain, there's actually nothing to talk about. Carl closed his eyes and frowned slightly.
Joseph curled his lips and didn't speak. He glanced down and saw a pack of cigarettes. His eyes suddenly lit up and he quickly took it with one hand.
The lighter is in the cupboard, and there's a bottle of whiskey if you want. Carl didn't open his eyes.
Joseph's movements froze slightly. He felt something was wrong, but couldn't put his finger on what it was. He took out his lighter and lit it for himself.
Do you have a destination? If not, maybe you can stop. Running aimlessly like this will waste a lot of gas.
Squeak~
Joseph slammed on the brakes, and the strong push on Carl's back caused Carl to lean forward. Because his hands were tied, he couldn't even support himself, and Carl's head hit the platform behind the car's windshield directly.
Hehe... Seeing Carl making a fool of himself, Joseph seemed to be in a good mood. He opened the car window, stretched out the cigarette with one hand, opened the bottle of whiskey with the other hand, and took a big gulp. A lot of scarlet wine flowed down his chin to his chest and wet his clothes, but he didn't care and put the bottle heavily on the platform.
Laughing at others is not a virtue. Karl frowned, rubbed his shoulder against the car door and sat up straight.
The collision was quite severe and it took Carl a while to recover. He was definitely unhappy but he had to endure it.
Haha, I never care about any virtue.
Very good, actually I don't really care, in that case, let's talk, but before that, can you let me go first? Carl turned his head and looked at Joseph.
Joseph smoked, drank, and looked out the window without saying a word.
You know, I can't pose any threat to you. I just feel that the blood flow in my hands is blocked. If it goes on for too long, it may cause necrosis of my blood vessels.
What does that have to do with me? Hiccup~ Joseph said as he burped and his face began to turn red.
Well, let's talk about something relevant. Carl leaned back in his seat and shook his head slightly, letting it touch the back seat from time to time.
First of all, now that you've captured me, what are you going to do with me? Kill me? I have to say, this is the stupidest choice, and you probably won't make this choice either.
Why not? Joseph sneered. Because you are not stupid, on the contrary, you are a smart man. You killed me, maybe you don't know where I am in prison, I can tell you.
In prison, I am very important. All the people in charge of the prison, including the leader, care about me very much. If I die, they will go crazy and will do whatever it takes to find you and torture you to death.
You should know that this is not fake, otherwise I would not have had to backstab the Governor. You know, I was also very detached in Woodbury, just like...
Young Master. Joseph smiled. The Governor treated you as his own son and trained you as the young master of Woodbury. I could see that, but you still betrayed him.
Carl pursed his lips and closed his eyes. I am sorry, very sorry, but what has happened is inevitable. There are my relatives in the prison, people I don't want to and cannot abandon. I can't let the governor occupy the prison.
Haha...Joseph sneered and lit another cigarette.
Back to the topic, like I said, killing me is the stupidest choice. Maybe you think the world is so big that they may not be able to find you.
Well, that's right, but in that case, why don't you take me in exchange for something you need? If I promise to give you what you need and not take revenge on you if you let me go.
You definitely won't believe it, but what about a direct exchange? Even if the worst result is being hunted down by us, which we won't, you will think so. But don't you think this option is much better than the first one?
Little guy, you have a talent for public speaking. Joseph smiled and didn't take it seriously. He was not the kind of person who would be easily changed his mind.
Then can I exchange my talent for you to untie me first? My hands are very uncomfortable. Carl also smiled.
Haha...Joseph didn't say anything and threw the dagger on his thigh to Carl.
The throw was very accurate and was caught by Carl with both hands. Then Carl began to cut the rope with great difficulty in a somewhat awkward posture.
Thank you. After Carl cut the rope on his hand, he handed the dagger to Joseph. Joseph didn't take it, so Carl put it on the platform in front of him, then moved his wrist and rubbed it for himself.
A cigarette, please. Carl smiled.
This is not a good habit.
Many people have said this.
Carl didn't reach for his lighter, but instead lit a box of matches from the drawer.
Huh~ Carl exhaled slowly and smiled:
In fact, I just wanted to relieve the pressure in my heart. Don't look at me as if I don't care, I am actually scared to death.
Oh? I don't see that you are afraid. I thought you were not afraid of death. Joseph smiled and handed the bottle to Carl.
Man, you have to admit it. Carl took the bottle. As long as they are human, no, not only human, as long as they are living things, they will be afraid of death. It is an instinct to seek benefits and avoid harm.
At my age, I am just thinking about how to trick girls into bed, or how to get money to play video games, or how to deal with some stubborn kids. Joseph sighed.
A wonderful childhood. Carl tilted his head back and took a sip of wine. Although he didn't drink, Joseph would want him to drink.
Alcohol is the fastest way to build a bridge of communication between men, and it is obvious that Joseph no longer regards himself as a child, but a man.
For Joseph's trust and the subsequent conversation, Carl had to drink.
