I Have 48 Hours a Day
Vol 2 Chapter 252: Dust settled
Recent events on the island have followed one after another. Six of Nassau's most powerful pirate regiments, led by the black prince Sam, challenged the Spanish treasure ship that no one dare to mess with before. After a fierce battle, they successfully struck. After sinking the other party, they were subsequently ambushed by the navy. In the end, only a ship of Jackdaw successfully returned to Nassau with most of the gold.
Not long after that, a large-scale slave slave riot occurred in Malcolm's Terence Manor.
There was a lot of movement that night, and several nearby plantations were alarmed, but except for the part of the slave who was killed in the battle, the rest of the escaped people were only captured a small part, and everyone was there. Guessing how much the loss of Terence Manor this time was followed by the breaking news of Malcolm's frame of Normand.
After a lapse of three years, Eugene took the initiative to stand up and admitted that he was coerced by Malcolm. He and a few captains who had a good relationship with him forged Normand's acceptance of bribes. Mande left Nassau sadly, and at the same time, there were also letters that were exchanged between the two.
The news caused a stir among the black market merchants in Nassau.
Although Normand left Nassau for a few years, he still had a considerable influence on the island. His funeral was basically attended by more than half of the black market merchants.
As soon as the news came out, Malcolm felt a great deal of pressure. By the afternoon of the second day, Raymond also officially spoke. On the surface, it was calming everyone's emotions and keeping everyone restrained, but it was finally revealed in the end. With his true intentions, he indicated that he would investigate this matter. Of course, Malcolm knew what the latter was thinking. If Raymond took over the investigation, the investigation results would have no suspense at all.
However, at this moment, he did not have many excuses to prevent Raymond from intervening. The reputation of the latter played a decisive role at this time. Especially, Raymond was Normand's closest close friend and the current president of the Black Merchants Union. In the eyes of outsiders, the relationship with him is also good. The investigation conducted by Raymond is undoubtedly the most fair.
Malcolm has n’t had time to find a way to frame Normand, and his three-day appointment with Karina is about to expire. Malcolm attaches great importance to this matter, especially the current situation. To him is getting worse and worse, he also urgently needs to find new allies.
Malcolm was even ready to bleed again, and the conditions he had opened before were not possible without bargaining. However, when that day came, Malcolm did not see the shadow of a businesswoman in the cafe.
Malcolm sat at the round table where he usually sat for a whole afternoon, until the sunset tilted, and finally heard footsteps from the door.
Steward Wallace pushed in and walked in.
Malcolm put down the cold coffee and raised his head, frowning. "What's the matter?"
"Now there are many rumors out there that Mr. Fagan's imprisonment is also related to you. Many people know that before he was imprisoned, you opposed the formation of a black business alliance on the island. Miss Karina is now in Raymond, please He presides justice. "The housekeeper was careful.
But to his surprise, Malcolm heard that there was not much emotional change, as if he was not surprised at all about this matter, but nodded, calmly, "I see."
The housekeeper Wallace hesitated for a moment and said, "The incident of the slave slave riots was almost investigated that night. The leader was Leah. They finally ran to the beach and left Nassau on a boat. I investigated On the ships leaving the port that day and the previous day, it was found that Jackdaw sailed out of the harbour that morning full of supplies, they probably turned back after dark, so ... "
"So what?" Malcolm asked back.
"So things should be related to them that night. Those letters are likely to be stolen by Leah. We can tell this to other big landowners on the island. They certainly don't want such things to happen to them one day. They united to force the Jackdaw to surrender the runaway slaves. "
Malcolm said nothing, pointed to the seat in front of him, "I remember we played together every day when we were kids, and you stole sweet potatoes for me, but then I went to school and I did n’t eat them together. It ’s time for dinner. You can find the cook here. "
"Yeah, Alfonso, Spaniard, very grumpy and hate pirates. It took me a whole week and twice the price to persuade him to cook here, knowing that when he first arrived A sign prohibiting pirates from hanging at the door almost strangled alive at night. "
"Well, his coffee and omelette are really good. It's almost time for dinner. Now that you are here, let's eat together. After that, you can ask him if he wants to join us. go away."
"You ..." A look of worry appeared on Wallace's face.
"Don't worry about me," Malcolm said indifferently. "I came here empty-handed four years ago. In these four years, I made a lot of money that most people can't make in a lifetime. Even if I leave here, these wealth It still belongs to me. "
He paused and continued, "If you lose, you lose. I've never been a loser. I'll change to a different place and start again. There is more than one way to make money. I can do it today without anything. Situation, now holding so much money in his hand makes no sense but finds no way out, not to mention Raymond may not be able to laugh for a long time, if he looks down on that woman named Karina, sooner or later will pay the price ~ www .readwn.com ~ You seem to rate her highly. "
Malcolm snorted. "I opened the box with my own hands and released the devil in her heart. Let her face up to her ambitions and desires. I know she is a very good student, but her growth rate is repeated. Beyond my expectations, not long ago she was resentful of the person who ruined her life, and now she has been able to control her emotions, make the best choices for herself, and even frame her father It ’s interesting that people formed alliances. I made her what she is now, and she ruined my career on the island, so I guess we're leveled. "
"Actually, the alliance between her and Raymond is also fragile. We can tell Raymond that she already knows who her father was framed by." Wallace hesitated.
"No, we don't do anything. Raymond isn't a fool. I won't turn my face with Karina before I leave Nassau." Malcolm took another sip of coffee. "Live to my age With the age of devotion, why should I do things that are not good for myself? Speaking of Raymond, I must be intoxicated in solving my joy at this time, I don't know that there is a bomb beside me, Just leave her there, as my last gift to an old friend. "
