Malcolm hadn't gone to bed on time for a long time, and after realizing that the person who did it to him was Raymond, Malcolm reacted very quickly, and almost immediately began to set up a counterattack, in fact, the most difficult part for Malcolm was not how to get rid of Raymond, but how to maintain the stability of the Black Merchant Alliance after taking Raymond.

In the eyes of others, the Black Merchants Alliance was a behemoth when it was born, but Malcolm, one of the founders, was well aware of how fragile it was internally, and no amount of perfect and reasonable institutions could solve all disputes, and this was where Raymond's prestige could help.

Black market merchants also have their own circles and factions, including some opposing factions, in terms of balancing their forces and alleviating their contradictions, Malcolm, who has only been on the island for a few years, is naturally not as good as Raymond, who has been operating in Nassau for so long.

This is also the reason why although the actual leader of the Black Merchants Alliance is Malcolm now, the position of president must be sat by Raymond, as long as Malcolm is given another two to three years, he can completely kick Raymond, even if it is only one year, he is sure that he can absorb most of the losses caused by the loss of Raymond.

It was indeed much earlier than he expected to turn his face now.

However, at this point, there is almost no possibility of easing between the two, and Raymond must be very clear that the longer the time drags on, the more unfavorable it will be for him, coupled with the sudden appearance of Karina, Malcolm's "opponent", it is not too surprising for him to quietly act at this time, but after all, he still did not hide from Malcolm, who is now thinking about how to drive Raymond out of Nassau and minimize the impact of this matter.

Malcolm listed the names of the more prestigious black marketeers on the island, thought about a replacement for Raymond, and didn't go back to his bedroom late at night to change his clothes and go to bed.

He was woken up not long after closing his eyes, and there was the sound of running footsteps and shouting outside the door, which should have been strictly forbidden, Malcolm sat up from his bed, and there was a knock at the door.

"Come in."

Hearing this, Wallace, the butler, hurriedly pushed open the door.

"What's going on out there, so noisy?" Malcolm frowned as he got dressed.

"There was a slave rebellion, and the barn, the firewood house, and a warehouse for cotton, were set on fire."

"How many are there?"

"I can't count it for the time being, but it seems that more than half of the people participated, and they still have weapons in their hands, in addition to the stones picked up on the ground, the table knives in the kitchen, and so on, and it seems that there are daggers and muskets." Wallace paused, "But there are only a few of them, and there will be two or three muskets at most, and I've already sent another team to protect you, and I've sent people to call for help from a few other plantations nearby, and when they send someone over, it'll be safe." ”

Malcolm had already dressed and mounted his boots, and when he reached the balcony, he saw the light of a fire not far away, and there seemed to be fighting elsewhere.

As Wallace said, there were a lot of people on the slave side, but the guards were significantly better equipped to keep the enemy from falling behind, and as the battle progressed, the overseers of the manor joined the battle.

There is no problem in continuing like this until the reinforcements arrive, managing black slaves has always been a headache, and several nearby plantation owners are angry, and they will not sit idly by when they encounter this situation, so Malcolm does not pay attention to the success or failure of this battle, and he does not pay much attention to the losses that Wallace is mentioning on the other side.

Malcolm was now wondering if this was going to happen at this point in the world.

If so, then what is the point of the other party doing this, and what is the reason for inciting these black slaves to cooperate with him.

In the past, it was not uncommon for black slaves to escape from the Terence Manor, but the vast majority of them were a small number of people, and small-scale sneaking away rarely made such a big move.

In addition to the fact that it is easy to leak secrets because there are many people, it is also easy to be caught because the target is too big, even if you can escape from the manor, there is nowhere to hide, and the other is how those weapons flow into the manor.

However, these questions will not be investigated until the riot is quelled, and it is now certain that Daisy is not the only one in the manor.

Soon, new news came that the rioting black slaves were moving to the stables.

The guards over there were weak, and they were almost overwhelmed, and if the frightened horses were released by the black slaves, the situation would become even more chaotic, so after getting Malcolm's permission, Wallace, the steward, immediately brought people to support there.

However, he stopped abruptly halfway through, and Wallace found that the accident had occurred in three different directions, but the other direction had been quieter tonight.

In addition to the cotton plantations, the torture chambers are also located there.

"What a cunning little thing." Wallace, the butler, muttered as he filled the chamber with gunpowder, and he decisively changed direction and led the men to the torture chamber.

In the distance, I saw the body of an overseer, lying outside the door, with several knives stuck in his back, while on the other side a black male man was walking out of the door with Nadia on his back, Wallace did not hesitate to pull the trigger, but the shot ended up only hitting a barrel next to it.

The black male man was startled by this shot, sat on the ground, and Nadia in the back also fell out, at this time the other guards also opened fire, and the black male didn't care about Nadia on the side, and fled back to the torture room.

Leah also heard the gunshot, and she followed behind the black male, while Lola carried Daisy at the back, along with four black maids and two black male who planted cotton.

One of them, a black man, and two black maids died in the previous battle with the overseer, and one of the remaining black maids was slightly wounded.

This is all the combat strength on their side, on the other hand, on the side of the butler Wallace, in addition to himself, there are five guards, four of whom have guns in their hands.

They approached the torture chamber and soon came to the door, and when they were about to force their way through, a gunshot rang out in front of them, and the guard who ran in front was hit by a bullet in the head and fell straight down.

This had made the others a lot more cautious, but what they didn't know was that Leah only had this short musket in her hand, and that there was only one last bullet left after firing it.
