It was a gladiatorial fight where there was no referee and no surrender was accepted.

The black man with a scar on the left side of his face on the stage had the upper hand, and the opponent under him looked like he had fallen into a coma at the moment, but he didn't have any intention of stopping, and continued to punch until the opponent's face was blurred with flesh and blood, and his facial features

None of them were recognizable, and the cheers from the audience grew louder and louder.

However, at this time, the black man with the scar on the left side of his face also seemed to be a little tired, and there was still a lot of time left before the deadline, so he couldn't help but catch his breath, got up from the ground, walked to the other side of the stage, and picked up a bronze statue about the height of a real person, ready to use this thing to give the final blow to his compatriots on the ground.

However, the next moment there was an exclamation in the crowd, and by the time the black man with the scar on the left side of his face realized that something was wrong, it was too late, and then he received a heavy blow to the back of the head, and the whole person staggered two steps, and could no longer hold the bronze statue in his hand, but was smashed on his feet by the thing.

This bronze statue weighed at least more than 100 catties, and the vertical fall directly smashed his foot bones, but before he could cry out in pain, he was grabbed by the arm, no one expected that the bloody man behind him who could not see the facial features would have so much strength at this time, and the next moment his arm was bruised, and he actually twisted one of the opponent's arms alive.

The latter broke out in a cold sweat in pain, but in exchange for more cheers from the audience, this sudden turn of events also attracted everyone's applause.

Unilateral abuse of food is certainly beautiful, but it can't catch up with such a dramatic change that can provoke the emotions of the guests.

This time, the fleshy guy had clearly learned Scarface's previous lesson, and without any slackening, he quickly broke his opponent's other arm, and then strangled his opponent's throat with his own arm.

The black man with a scar on the left side of his face let out a meaningless ho sound from his throat and writhed desperately, but he lost his hands and completely lost the chance to reverse again, and soon his eyes turned out, and he was not far from death.

The thin middle-aged man didn't look at this fascinating bloody gladiatorial fight, on the contrary, his attention was focused on Zhang Heng's body, those eyes seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, and at this moment he seemed to be evaluating the latter, paused for a moment and continued.

"I admit that the Alliance made a mistake in dealing with you and your Jackdaw, that we underestimated your strength, and that my men have caused trouble for your maiden voyage by acting impolitely without my consent, and that I invite you to a dinner at my manor tonight to apologize to you personally, and to hope that you will reconsider your cooperation with the Alliance."

"Re-collaboration?" Zhang Heng raised his eyebrows.

"You've proven yourself, and I'm willing to convince the Alliance to raise the price of your purchase, and even consider giving you the top price if you end your partnership with the businesswoman named Karina." The skinny middle-aged man finally threw his chips.

"Do you really think that you can compete with us with just a rookie who has just started in the industry? Karina's father used to be a black marketeer on the island, and many people in the alliance knew him, for the sake of her father's face, we didn't embarrass her too much before, plus her secrecy measures were good, and we didn't know the news of your cooperation until the Jackdaw returned to Nassau, so the whole thing went so smoothly, but once the alliance became serious, with her ability, it was impossible for a woman to survive in Nassau. ”

"In that case, Mr. Malcolm, why are you in such a hurry to restart negotiations with us?"

"Although I have always believed that order will make our world a better place, everything is always difficult at the beginning, as early as three months ago, the alliance has clarified the new pricing rules, we have spent so much effort to establish the current trade order on the island, and this is only the beginning, it will not be easy to push it forward, although we will eventually overcome all the difficulties, but it is always a good thing to be able to speed up the process."

Malcolm took a glass of wine from the maid's hand, "Recently, many small and medium-sized pirates in Nassau have regarded you as the banner of the rebellion, and their deeds have greatly encouraged them, which has also caused some trouble for our work, have you ever played poker, Captain Zhang Heng?" ”

"Of course."

"In my opinion, the most important thing to win is timing, when you have a good enough hand, you should bet decisively, and if you miss this opportunity, it will be difficult for you to win so much money again." Malcolm said meaningfully, "And now is your best chance, Captain Zhang Heng, once Karina is out and the alliance stabilizes, those restless guys will have to accept the reality, and all the cards in your hand will be invalidated, and you will regret not accepting my suggestion today." ”

"Is this a threat?"

"No, it's just kind advice, I appreciate you, the last person who can make the whole of Nassau known in such a short period of time is William Kidd, your future is limitless, so you should choose your partners carefully, I don't want you and me to become enemies one day in the future."

On the stage, the black man with the scar on the left side of his face finally swallowed his last breath and ended his struggle, leaving only one leg still spasming unconsciously, and his opponent finally used his last strength and fell to the ground together, the latter's head was still bleeding, staining the floor red, and at the same time ushered in a long-lasting applause.

The butler commanded the maids to clean up the stage, and Malcolm nodded at Zhang Heng, "I'm missing." ”

He walked onto the stage with his glass in hand, not caring about the blood on the soles of his feet, and gave a brief welcome speech to tonight's guests, thanking everyone for their help in the creation of the Black Merchants Alliance, and then announced that the dinner began.

The violinists who had been waiting for a long time played melodious music, and the maids served the freshly prepared dishes one by one.

And the strong black man, who had just won a hard-fought victory, was dragged out of the banquet hall along with the corpse.

Malcolm didn't stay at the dinner for long, he seemed to have a lot of work to attend to, and left not long after finishing his speech.

The three of the Jackdaws had no intention of spending the night in the villa, and they had eaten something and were about to leave, but when they were about to reach the gate, Zhang Heng suddenly stopped, and he saw two people digging a pit with shovels under a coffee tree not far away.
