Six of Nassau's most powerful pirate regiments, led by the Black Prince Sam, challenged the Spanish treasure ship that no one had dared to provoke before, and after a fierce battle, they successfully sank each other, only to be ambushed by the navy, and finally only the Jackdaw successfully returned to Nassau with most of the gold.

Not long after, a large-scale slave revolt broke out in Malcolm's Terence Manor.

There was a lot of movement that night, and several nearby plantations were alarmed, but except for the black slaves who were killed in the battle, only a small part of the escapees were captured.

After a lapse of three years, Eugene took the initiative to stand up and confessed that he was coerced by Malcolm back then, and teamed up with several captains who had a good relationship with him to forge Normand's acceptance of bribes, which led to the dissolution of the first generation of black merchant alliances, and Norman left Nassau gloomily, and at the same time, the letters exchanged between the two were made public.

The news caused an uproar among the black marketeers in Nassau.

Although Normand was away from Nassau for a few years, he still had considerable influence on the island, and his funeral was attended by almost half of the black marketeers.

As soon as the news came out, Malcolm immediately felt a huge pressure, and in the afternoon of the next day, Raymond also officially spoke, ostensibly to appease everyone's emotions and let everyone maintain restraint, but in the end, he finally revealed his true intentions, saying that he would investigate this matter, of course Malcolm knew what the latter was talking about, if this matter was taken over by Raymond, then there would be no suspense about the outcome of the investigation.

However, at this moment, he did not have much excuse to prevent Raymond from intervening, the latter's reputation played a decisive role at this time, especially Raymond is Norman's closest friend, the current president of the Black Merchants Alliance, and in the eyes of outsiders, he has a good relationship with him, and Raymond is undoubtedly the most fair to preside over the investigation.

Malcolm has not had time to find a countermeasure to the matter of framing Normand here, and on the other hand, his three-day appointment with Karina is about to expire, Malcolm still attaches great importance to this matter, especially now that the situation is becoming more and more unfavorable for him, and he urgently needs to find new allies.

Malcolm was even ready to bleed again, and the previous offer was not without the possibility of bargaining, but when that day came, Malcolm did not see the businesswoman in the café.

Malcolm sat at the round table where he usually sat all afternoon, until the sun was setting, when he finally heard footsteps outside the door.

Wallace, the butler, pushed the door open and walked in.

Malcolm put down the cold coffee in his hand, raised his head and frowned, "What's the matter?" ”

"Now there are a lot of rumors out there that Mr. Fagan's imprisonment is also related to you, many people know that he opposed your formation of a black merchant alliance on the island before he was imprisoned, Miss Karina is now at Raymond's place, ask him to administer justice." The butler said cautiously.

However, to his surprise, Malcolm didn't have much emotional change when he heard this, and he didn't seem to be surprised by this matter at all, just nodded and said calmly, "Got it." ”

Wallace, the butler, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "The matter of the slave riot that night was almost investigated, and the leader was Leah, and they finally ran to the beach, got on a ship and left Nassau, I investigated the ships that left the harbor that day and the day before, and found that the Jackdaw had sailed out of the harbor that morning with supplies, and they probably turned back after dark, so ......"

"So what?" Malcolm asked rhetorically.

"So the events of that night should have something to do with them, those letters are likely to have been stolen by Leah, and we can tell the other big landowners on the island about this, they certainly don't want this to happen to them one day, and will unite to force the Jackdaw to hand over the escaped black slaves."

Malcolm was noncommittal and pointed to the seat in front of him, "I remember when we were kids, we played together every day, and you used to roast sweet potatoes for me to eat, but then I went to school and I didn't eat together again, and you still found the cook here." ”

"Yes, Alfonso, a Spaniard, is very stubborn and hates pirates, and it took me a whole week and more than twice the price on the market to convince him to come here to cook, and when he first arrived, he hung a sign at the door that pirates were forbidden to enter, and he was almost strangled to death at night."

"Well, but the coffee he made and the omelette he made were really good, and it was almost time to finish eating, since you are here, let's eat together, and after you are done, you can ask him if he would like to leave with us."

"You......" Wallace had a worried look on his face.

"Don't worry about me," Malcolm said lightly, "I came here empty-handed four years ago, and in these four years I have made money that most people can't make in a lifetime, and even if I leave here, this wealth will still belong to me." ”

He paused and continued, "Losing is losing, I've never been a person who can't afford to lose, it's a big deal to start over in another place, and there is not only one way to make money, I can do today's situation without anything before, and now it makes no sense to hold so many funds in my hand but can't find a way out, not to mention that Raymond may not be able to laugh for long, if he underestimates the woman named Karina, sooner or later he will pay the price." ”

"You seem to think highly of her."

Malcolm snorted, "It was I who opened the box with my own hands, released the devil in her heart, and made her face up to her ambitions and desires, I know she is a good student, but she is still growing faster than I expected, 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 ally with the person who framed her father, interestingly, I have made her who she is, She ruined my career on the island, too, so I guess we're even. ”

"Actually, the alliance between her and Raymond is also fragile, and we can tell Raymond that she already knows who framed her father." Wallace hesitated.

"No, we're not going to do anything, Raymond isn't stupid, and won't turn his face with Karina until I leave Nassau." Malcolm took another sip of coffee, "I have long passed the age of righteousness at my age, and why should I do things that are not good for me, and Raymond must be intoxicated with the joy of solving me at this moment, and he has no idea that he still has a bomb by his side, so let her be left there, which is my last gift to my old friend." ”
