I Have 48 Hours a Day

Vol 2 Chapter 253: Take a walk

Zhang Heng didn't expect that there would be an extra person on board when Jackdaw returned, and he looked at Billy aside.

The latter shrugged. "It wasn't my idea. It was her return."

Leah politely carried her luggage, "Can you keep me? I can do a lot of things."

"It can be, but why don't you stay with your tribal people? Did you manage to escape from that manor for the sake of living a free life?"

"I ... I respect Laeri. He united us in the most difficult moments and led us out of miserable lives. He was a greater chief than his father, but in some things, I and his views There are differences, and I don't feel that the way out for me and my compatriots is on those deserted islands. "

"Huh?" Zhang Heng raised an eyebrow.

"We may be able to live a peaceful life on that island, but sooner or later those slave dealers will find us again, just like in my hometown, they will still kill the old and weak. People, brothers and sisters, mother and child, if we can't find a real way out, these things will happen again and again until all black people become slaves. "

Zhang Heng was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Elijah's age and insight could say such things. Although it is still limited by the times, in a sense, she has seen farther than La'errie. Zhang Heng asked, "Where do you think the way out?"

"I don't know," Leah shook her head. "I'm still looking, but what I'm good at is not useful on a desert island, so I want to stay here, stay in the civilized world, and play my own role. . "

"This is not a civilized world, and my crew has basically recruited. You are not a sailor, but a woman ..." Zhang Heng thought for a while and asked Karina on the other side, "Are you still short of people? "

The business woman nodded, and said to the black girl, "I heard that you can read. I happened to open a grocery store in Boston. Go there and help me with my billing. I will provide you with room and board. For a month, wait until the business is back, and raise your salary as appropriate. "

Leah heard a smile on her face.

After setting up a good black girl, the business woman continued the topics that she hadn't finished before, and she briefly talked to Zhang Heng about several separate meetings with Raymond before, as well as the current agreement reached by the two, and then said, "Can you and me Going for a walk? "

Zhang Heng nodded, and Karina walked out of the house and came to Tian Ling.

Today's weather is good, the sun is bright, and the sea breeze is very suitable for walking. Karina has no clear direction, so she just found a direction and went on. The business woman did not speak along the way. Zhang Heng Also kept silent.

This is not because there is nothing to say between the two, it is just that they are enjoying this rare peace, and now three weeks have passed since the riots at Terence Manor, and many things have happened in these three weeks However, so far, the situation has basically stabilized and Malcolm's defeat has been settled.

The latter was also refreshing, and immediately began to sell his various assets on the island, while the other side, without the strong execution power of Malcolm, the elderly Raymond was unable to maintain the operation of the Black Merchants Union. Although no official statement has been issued, everyone knows that the dissolution of the black business alliance is inevitable.

Soon the power of the black market merchants on the island will usher in a big shuffle and return to the previous fierce competition. In the recent period, the black market merchants in Nassau have begun to move, contacting the previously cooperated pirate ships to find new Partner to spy on others' offers.

For some people this means a loss of income, but for others it also means opportunity.

At that time, Malcolm quickly rose from the disintegration of the first generation of black business alliances, and now there are many eager people who want to relive his previous success.

Malcolm was the unquestionable loser in this incident, and although Raymond lost the nominal position of the chairman of the Black Merchants Union, because he presided over justice for Normand and Fagan, His popularity has risen to a new level, and Vague has almost caught up with Normand.

With good reputation and strong connections, many of Nassau's powerful pirate regiments have already spoken out and are willing to continue their cooperation in the dissolution of the Black Merchants Union and Raymond, but as long as the latter is still in place for a day, You cannot respond to these rumors.

But everyone believes that after the disintegration, Raymond will have more and no less pirate ships than before.

The beneficiary behind was Karina, who had the shortest time on the island, but faced with the tremendous pressure from Malcolm and the Black Merchants Union, she responded well and showed her extraordinary business talent. The Cargo Trading Office also won a lot of praise for her among the small and medium pirates. In addition, Malcolm had deliberately sent a wave of powerful pirate ships to her before. If she can successfully digest it, after the dissolution of the Black Merchants Union It will become a **** market businessman second only to Raymond.

But this is all after.

Now she doesn't want to think so much, she just wants to enjoy this stage of victory first.

The two walked all the way to the beach, and Karina finally decided to say, "Sorry, I have something to hide from you."

"Is Malcolm talking to you in private?" Zhang Hengdao.

A look of surprise appeared on Karina's face.

"Don't get me wrong, I didn't send someone to watch you, but after all, it's the day of the operation. I will definitely pay attention to Malcolm's actions. In fact, I can probably guess what he said to you." Zhang Hengdao, "Eugene There are too many coincidences in thinking about things, and his attitude is too cooperative. I did not doubt Raymond, but your disappointment later confirmed my conjecture in some way. "

"Since Eugene's affairs are related to Raymond, there is a great possibility that your father's affairs will also play a role in Raymond. Before we were predominant, we saw the letter that Leah had stolen. It was Malcolm who attacked your father, but in fact, from the content of the letter, it can be understood that Malcolm is investigating the matter ~ www.readwn.com ~ You did n’t tell me because you were worried about telling You have no choice after me, because from my perspective, I will definitely suggest that you take this opportunity to solve the most threatening Malcolm first, so you lose the possibility of joining forces with Malcolm to avenge your father. "

"Why, since you already guessed, why didn't you warn me then?"

"Because this is your choice." Zhang Hengdao, "Although I have a stake in the second-hand goods trading office, in the final analysis, this is your business, and it is your father who is framed and jailed. This should be you, and it must be yours. Choices. "

"Then don't you think I'm a cold-blooded person, letting my father's revenge go, and turning my head to make an alliance with the enemy," Karina asked again.

This time Zhang Heng didn't answer this question, but just said, "One day you will defeat Raymond and become the most powerful black market businessman on the island, just as you beat Malcolm today."

"But will I become ignorant of myself on that day?" The business woman smiled wryly.

"Maybe you never really knew yourself."
