"You promised me there would be no accidents this time," Malcolm said.
Fraser hung the cloak on a side hanger and shrugged.
"If I remember correctly, our previous agreement was to sink the cargo ship, kill everyone on it except the internal staff, and then turn around and leave quietly."
"That's right."
"Then tell me what happened on the beach four days ago, why the Breeze and its crew came back to Nassau, and that guy named Wilton used them to threaten Karina again ?”
"I have found the most vicious pirates outside the island according to your request, but on the other hand, I seem to have underestimated their viciousness." Fraser also showed a look of helplessness on his face, "Things are out of control, the one called The guy from Wilton is more greedy than I imagined. Not only did he take our deposit, but he also wanted to use the crew on the Breeze to make another profit. He didn't keep the agreement. I originally planned to go to him the next day, but when it arrived The next morning I heard what happened after that... but the good news is that we should not have to pay them the balance." Fraser picked up the glass on the table.
Malcolm pointed to the brandy on the shelf beside him, "So we spent such a lot of effort, not only did we not get the desired result, but instead sent her another transport ship? In addition, the Jackdaw was on the island. In terms of fame alone, they are almost surpassing Black Prince Sam's bandit now."
Fraser walked over and poured himself half a glass, "I'm his half-teacher, but I've never really seen him through. He's different from Blackbeard, but they have one thing in common. They're very I knew what I was doing. When I heard that the Jackdaw was returning to Hong Kong, I had bad thoughts in my heart. I should have warned Wilton in advance. I just didn’t expect him to act so quickly, but after thinking about it, it was true It’s the best mobile phone opportunity.”
The old pirate took a sip of brandy, "And I just got some bad news."
"Um?"
"The Black Prince Sam is uniting with several captains on the island who have seats in the council, intending to promote Zhang Heng to the island's council. With his strength and connections, he has easily gathered seven seats, so Zhang Heng's entry into the council has already been completed. It's a certainty, although he doesn't want to admit it, but the influence of him and his Jackdaw on the island is indeed growing, you still don't plan to consider my proposal?"
Malcolm glanced at Fraser, "I'm a businessman, not Caesar. I came to this island to make money. Nassau has developed well in recent years. The total volume of goods is increasing every year, but the quality is declining. , the top pirate forces are getting less and less. Blackbeard Teach disappeared after shelling Charleston, and only Sam is left as the top pirate on the island. The appearance of the Jackdaw can make up for this gap. Card Linna was able to survive on the island with only one pirate ship before, which shows how strong the Jackdaw's earning power is."
"The premise is that he is willing to cooperate with the Black Merchants Alliance."
Malcolm was noncommittal, "As long as the channel for him to transport the goods out of the island can be cut off, he can only turn around and cooperate with us. If you didn't make such low-level mistakes on your side, he should already be sitting at the negotiating table with us by now. ahead."
Fraser finished drinking the brandy in his hand, "Then what should we do now, should I find other people to rob her transport ship? But the inside story has been exposed, and they will be more cautious in the future, trying to get their voyage again The route is not easy, and now they have two ships in their hands, and one is left after killing one. I heard that other captains are already in private contact with that Miss Karina to discuss long-term cooperation. Perhaps, the opinion of her on the island is also changing, and more and more people are beginning to believe that she is not just a passing passerby here.”
"Let's put aside the robbery first. Although the methods outside the rules are the simplest and most effective, they also have a lot of negative effects. The Black Merchants Alliance has just been established, and I have not been able to fully control it. There are many other voices in it. This kind of thing can't be done again, if it can't be solved quickly, we need to find a new way."
Malcolm's expression remained unchanged, and he continued, "I just met her not long ago. I thought she was the same type of person as her father, and I used this as the starting point for my previous arrangements, but then I found out that I am right. Her judgment is wrong, she has little in common with her father, on the contrary, she is very similar to me when I was young, but more ambitious and radical, I can probably guess what she is thinking at this moment."
"oh?"
"After she found out that Ma Long was bought by me, she must be full of anger and unwillingness, but then these anger and unwillingness will turn into hunger and thirst. She will want to beat me more than ever. This hunger and thirst will bring Her extra motivation will also make it easier for her to take risks." Malcolm paused, "So, I will give her a chance next."
Fraser raised his eyebrows, "What chance?"
"The chance to beat me." Malcolm said lightly.
...
The repair time for the Jackdaw was very short this time, less than a week. The Breeze failed to bring back new clues from the port because it was robbed halfway, but the Black Prince Sam found Zhang Heng two days ago. Invite him to participate in a hunt together.
"Spanish treasure ship?" Billy repeated to make sure he heard correctly. "You mean Spanish treasure ship? The kind with three decks loaded with eighty cannons and more than two hundred fully armed sailors." Galen galleons, not to mention that they usually have two or three frigates sailing together, as far as I know, only Peter Hein has successfully seized the goods on the treasure ship and successfully transported them back to the country. And he used the entire military fleet of tmd to do this."
"Really, I don't know the story, but I heard that when you were with Blackbeard Titch, you once took the pride of the Royal Navy from more than 700 people on the opposite side with just over a hundred men. The Caberley," said Sam.
"No matter who told you this, he certainly didn't say that we had the right time and place at that time. Orff's trick worked by chance. We rushed to the opposite deck with great difficulty. Captain Teach was one against ten, and everyone broke out. potential, but even so, if it wasn’t for Zhang Heng’s last shot and their captain is greedy enough to fear death, we would still fall short.”
"So you don't want to experience this exciting feeling again?" Black Prince Sam blinked.
