Chapter 202: Opportunity

"You promised me that there would be no accidents this time." Malcolm spoke.

Fraser hung his cloak on a hanger to the side and shrugged his shoulders.

"If I'm not mistaken, our previous agreement was to sink the ship, kill everyone on it except Nei Ying, and then turn around and leave quietly."

"That's right."

"And what happened to me on the beach four days ago, and why did the Breeze and its crew come back to Nassau, and that guy named Wilton used them to threaten Karina?"

"I did as you asked for the most ferocious pirates off the island, but on the other hand I seem to have underestimated their ferocity." Fraser's face also showed a look of helplessness, "Things are out of control, that guy named Wilton is even more greedy than I thought, not only took our deposit, but also wanted to make another profit with the crew of the Breeze, he didn't keep the agreement, I originally planned to go to him the next day, but I heard about it the next morning...... But the good news is that we shouldn't have to pay them the balance anymore. Fraser picked up the glass on the table.

Malcolm gestured to the brandy on the side shelf, "So we spent such a lot of effort not only not getting the desired result, but instead sending her another transport ship?" It also made the Jackdaw more famous on the island, and in terms of fame alone, they are now on the verge of overpowering Sam, the Black Prince. ”

Fraser walked over and poured himself half a glass, "I'm half a teacher, but I've never really seen through him, he's different from Blackbeard, but the two have one thing in common, they both know what they're doing, and when I heard that the Jackdaw returned to Hong Kong, I should have warned Wilton in advance, I just didn't expect him to do it so quickly, but in hindsight it was the best opportunity to do it." ”

The old pirate took a sip of brandy, "And I just got bad news." ”

"Huh?"

"Black Prince Sam is uniting several captains on the island who have parliamentary seats, and intends to promote Zhang Heng into the council on the island, with his strength and connections, he has easily made up enough seven places, so Zhang Heng's entry into the council is already a sure thing, although he doesn't want to admit it, but he and his Jackdaw's influence on the island is indeed getting bigger and bigger, don't you still plan to consider my proposal?"

Malcolm glanced at Fraser, "I'm a merchant, not Caesar, I came to this island to make money, Nassau has developed well in recent years, the total amount of goods is increasing every year, but the quality is declining, the top pirate forces are getting fewer and fewer, Blackbeard Tiki disappeared after bombarding Charleston, and the top pirates on the island are only Sam, and the appearance of the Jackdaw can make up for this gap." Karina 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 Business Alliance."

Malcolm was noncommittal, "As long as he can cut off the channel through which he can transport goods out of the island, he will naturally have to turn around and cooperate with us, and if this kind of low-level mistake is not made on your side, he should be sitting at the negotiating table with us by now." ”

Fraser drank the brandy in his hand, "So what do we do now, do you want me to find someone else to rob her transport?" But Neiying has been exposed, and they will be more cautious in the future, it will not be easy to get their sailing route again, and now they have two ships in their hands, and there is only one left after killing one, and I heard that there are already other captains who are in private contact with Miss Karina to discuss the possibility of long-term cooperation, and the island's opinion of her is also changing, and more and more people are beginning to believe that she is not just a passer-by here. ”

"Let's let go of the robbery first, although the means outside the rules are the simplest and most effective, but there are many negative effects, the Black Business Alliance has just been established, I can't completely control it, there are many other voices in it, this kind of thing can not be done again, if we can't solve it quickly, we need to find a new way."

Malcolm's expression remained unchanged, and he continued, "I just met her not long ago, and I thought she was the same kind of person as her father, and I used this as a starting point for my setup, but then I found out that I had misjudged her, she and her father had little in common, on the contrary, she was like me when I was younger, but more ambitious and aggressive, and I can probably guess what she is thinking at this moment." ”

"Oh?"

"She must have been filled with anger and reluctance when she found out that Marlon was bought by me, but then these anger and reluctance will turn into hunger, and she will want to beat me more than ever, and this hunger will give her extra motivation, but it will also make her more adventurous." Malcolm paused, "So, I'll give her a chance next." ”

Fraser raised an eyebrow, "What chance?" ”

"A chance to beat me." Malcolm said lightly.

…………

The Jackdaw's repair time was very short, less than a week, and the Breeze was not able to bring back new clues from the port because it was robbed halfway, but the Black Prince Sam found Zhang Heng two days ago and invited him to participate in a hunt with him.

"Spanish treasure ships?" Billy repeated to make sure he heard correctly, "You're talking about the Spanish Treasure Ship?" The kind of galleon with three decks loaded with eighty cannons and more than two hundred heavily armed sailors, not to mention the fact that they usually sail with two or three frigates, is the only one I know that Pete Hine has ever succeeded in seizing the cargo of a treasure ship and transporting them home, and he has done so with a whole fleet of military troops from TMD. ”

"Yes, I don't know the story, but I've heard that when you were with Blackbeard Titch, you took the proud Scarborough of the Royal Navy from over seven hundred men from just over a hundred men on the other side." Sam Road.

"No matter who told you about this, he definitely didn't say that we occupied the right time and place at that time, Orff's trick took effect by luck, we finally rushed to the opposite deck, Captain Tiqi was one to ten, and everyone exploded with all their potential, but even so, if it wasn't for Zhang Heng's last shot, their captain was greedy enough to be afraid of death, and we would still fall short."

"So you don't want to re-experience the thrill?" Sam, the Black Prince, blinked.
