Arya and Joshua heard Madam Swift crying when they came back from the fish market.
Their boat had been sold, so they had no source of income. Arya went to the fish market to help people sell fish, and Joshua moved seafood to earn money.
Hearing Madam Swift's cry, they quickened their steps. As soon as they reached the door, they saw a few people standing there. Mr. Swift was lying on the ground.
Arya was in a panic. She quickly walked in and saw Zack there. Her face immediately darkened and she asked sternly, "What are you doing here?"
Without a word, Joshua picked up the broom by the door, wanting to fight with them.
He was young and energetic, not caring about the consequences at all.
Arya grabbed him and snatched the broom from his hand. Zack had brought so many people here. He couldn't defeat them.
"Don't move. Or, I'll hate you." Arya warned him.
Joshua's face turned red with anger. But Arya was so serious that he didn't dare to do anything.
Madam Swift came over to push Arya. "It's your fault. If you hadn't come to my house, this thing would not have happened."
Arya didn't expect that Madam Swift would push her, and she stepped back. She could not retort. "Wouldn't it be fine if you had handed her over earlier? You're asking for trouble." Zack said as he walked to Arya and looked at her, "I told you, if you can't afford it, you can pay the debt with your body."
Mr. Swift begged Zack, "As long as you give me some time, I'll give you the rest fifty thousand."
Arya was stunned. 'Mr. Swift said that the boat had been sold for 300,000 dollars. Why is it 50,000 dollars short?'
Zack took the opportunity to say to Arya, "Be my woman, and you don't need to pay the rest."
Arya glared at him. But when She saw Mr. Swift being treated like this, she couldn't refuse.
"Do you want me? Fine. Give back the money, and I will agree. Otherwise, even if I die, I won't obey you."
Arya saw it clearly. Even if she had 300,000 dollars, Zack might not keep his promise and let them go.
Now she could only agree for now.
Zack was sullen. "You threatened me?"
"It's you who push us too hard."
Arya grabbed the knife Madam Swift had fallen on the ground and pressed it against her neck. "I will do what I said. I'm sure that you don't need this money, do you?"
Arya played both hard and soft.
"Of course I don't need this money. But you have to come with me."
Zack became complacent, "As you can see, I'm a god in the Aqua Village. You can't afford to provoke me. So, promise me. That old man doesn't have to be beaten up, right?"
Arya hated Zack. But she had to compromise him at this time, "I can go with you, but not now. I have to take him to the hospital."
Zack was annoyed, "Are you kidding me?"
"No, he is old. I have to take him to the hospital first. Two days. I will definitely go with you."
Arya made up her mind.
Zack hesitated.
"I've promised to go with you," Arya said softly.
Zack's heart melted. "Okay, I agree. Keep your promise."
Mr. Swift shook his hands, trying to persuade Arya, but Arya stopped him.
She could not implicate the Swift Family in this matter. She had thought of a plan. She shook her head at Mr. Swift, implying him not to worry.
