It was two black slaves, who had been working for a long time, sweating profusely, and they had dug the pit very deep, so they put their shovels aside and threw the two bodies on one side.

Zhang Heng recognized that the two corpses were the two people who had performed gladiatorial fights on the stage before, among them, the guy with the scar on the left side of his face was already dead, and the other seemed to be breathing faintly although his face was covered with blood.

The two black slaves picked up their shovels again and began to fill the pit with blank faces, as if noticing the movement, and the man who looked like an overseer next to him came over and lifted his pants.

"What's the matter, several?"

"That guy should still have a breath." Zhang Heng pointed to the earth pit.

"Oh, his nose bone has been shattered, one eye is blind, he can't perform gladiatorial fights anymore, and it's just a waste of food to keep it, and the injury is too bad, and it costs a lot of medical expenses to cure, so Mr. Malcolm told me to dispose of it directly." Overseer's Road.

"Since you're not going to ask for him, why don't you give him to me."

The overseer's eyes rolled, and the next moment a money bag flew into his hand, and he opened it and counted it, and found that there were twenty silver coins inside, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and without any further hesitation, he said, "From now on he belongs to you, sir." ”

After saying that, he looked at the two black slaves standing still on the side, "What are you doing in a daze, moving people to this gentleman's carriage." ”

This time, however, the two black slaves stood there motionless, looking at each other.

The overseer's face suddenly sank, and he raised the leather whip in his hand.

A look of fear flashed in the eyes of the two black slaves, apparently remembering some bad memories, so they finally moved again, and carried the half-buried black gladiator in the pit into the carriage hired by Billy.

Anne and Billy didn't think much about it, they just thought that Zhang Heng was saving each other when he saw that the other party was pitiful, especially the latter, who was still thinking about Malcolm's words at night, and looked a little worried on the way back to the city.

"It seems that the Black Merchants Alliance is preparing to attack Karina, what should we do?"

"What do you think?"

"I don't like that guy." Anne snorted coldly and said bluntly, "His theory of order will probably be very popular in the colony, but this is Nassau, the city of freedom, and we are not those black slaves on his manor, at his mercy." ”

Billy smiled bitterly, "That being said, but now the power of the Black Merchants Alliance on the island is indeed huge, and the powerful pirates in Nassau are on their side, and there are probably only some small pirates who support us, I know those guys very well, although they are quite numerous, but their role is limited, and they can't be counted on at a critical time." Once Karina can't hold on, we'll lose our only monetization channel, and there's no other way to go but bow to the Alliance. ”

"So we can't leave her behind to cooperate with the Black Merchants Alliance now." Zhang Heng finally spoke, "Malcolm's ambition is not so simple, he founded the Black Merchant Alliance not only to establish a unified standard trade system and increase profits, but also to control the pirates on the island, if he really succeeds, who will be the captain of each ship in the future is just a matter of his words, and at that time, no one on the entire island can resist him." ”

Zhang Heng paused, and continued, "In fact, the Black Merchant Alliance is not without weaknesses, we always regard it as a whole, which makes it look terrifying, but in fact, its internal structure is not as strong as we imagined, the core of the Black Merchant Alliance is Raymond and Malcolm, of which Raymond is the oldest and most powerful black marketeer on the island.

"Because of his appearance, he was able to bring all the black marketeers on the island together, and finally discuss a distribution plan that everyone was relatively satisfied with, but Raymond is already old, although he is the president of the Black Merchants Alliance, but in fact he only participates in the construction of the system and the adjustment of contradictions, Malcolm, the number two person, is the actual person in charge, but he rose too fast in Nassau, and offended many people in the middle, and he must use Raymond's prestige when forming the Black Merchants Alliance."

Billy's heart moved, "Is there a conflict between the two of them?" ”

"I don't know." Zhang Heng said simply.

"Huh?"

"As the first and second people in the Black Business Alliance, the two of them definitely need to maintain a harmonious relationship, at least on the surface, but what happens in private is not something that outsiders can know, but according to what I have learned these days, Raymond met Malcolm as early as when he was not on the island."

"So they should be on good terms." Billy smiled wryly.

"No, I think it's the opposite, Malcolm and Raymond are both very successful businessmen, at their level, they rarely get emotional, and seeing Malcolm tonight basically confirms my previous speculation about him, he is an extremely rational and confident person, although he doesn't like us and thinks that we have brought trouble to the Black Merchants Alliance, but there is no disgust in his words, and in order to eliminate the negative impact of us as soon as possible, he is willing to choose to ignore his previous suspicions, the same way, He also rarely takes into account the impact of friendship when dealing with a matter, so it is impossible for him and Raymond to have not done something sorry for each other in all these years of getting along, and all we have to do is find out about it. ”

"You want to drive a wedge between Malcolm and Raymond and provoke a conflict between them?"

"It's very difficult to deal with a behemoth like the Black Merchant Alliance from the outside, but like I said before, they are not monolithic internally, once the relationship between Raymond and Malcolm deteriorates, the Black Merchant Alliance will lose the stability it relies on, but this alone is not enough, in addition to creating internal chaos, we must also be aggressive enough externally to accelerate its collapse."

Zhang Heng said, "I'll talk to Karina about this when she returns to the island, but the most important thing right now is how to divide Raymond and Malcolm." ”

Billy thought for a moment, "Those things you said, if they really exist, must be an absolute secret for the two of them, I'm afraid it will be difficult for outsiders to inquire about it, or can we directly find a way to create a conflict between them?" ”

"This is also a plan, but I don't want to use it unless it is absolutely necessary, Raymond and Malcolm are very smart people, if it is a deliberate thing, it is easy for them to see through it, and it may be self-defeating." 166 Reading Network
