Chapter 144

Zhang Heng's luck is good, he just landed to see the shadow in front of him.

It seems that the other party should have been sitting at the table before, but the movement at the gate attracted his attention and made him stand up and subconsciously look in that direction. Zhang Heng jumped in from the window at this time. Before dark shadow could turn his head, he was hit on the back of his head by the butt of a gun and then fell to the ground without saying a word.

Zhang Heng solved the problem in front of him. He checked the surrounding environment with the help of the moonlight. Then he went up to the second floor carefully and searched room by room. He didn't light up the oil lamp until he confirmed that there was no one else in the house.

…………

Annie came back from the pub after drinking. She opened the door and saw a young woman about twenty-one or twenty-two years old lying on the table. Zhang Heng was groping for something on her.

"Wow, did I come back too early? I'm sorry to disturb you." The girl with red hair turned around and was ready to disappear. As a result, she was stopped by Zhang Heng, who said, "don't make any noise. Do you know her?"

Zhang Heng had just searched his body, but he didn't find any weapons or dangerous goods. At the moment of lighting the oil lamp, he also had some accidents. He didn't expect that the uninvited guest in the room would be a woman. Although the latter entered the house without the owner's permission, she didn't touch anything except a teacup in front of her. Judging from her skin and clothes, she should have been born in a rich family Yu's family, generally speaking, such a woman should not appear in Nassau such a place.

Not to mention breaking into other people's homes, Zhang Heng can only guess that she is Annie's friend.

But the red haired girl burped her head and said, "I don't know her."

"I don't think you've seen her since you came in."

"That's because I grew up without a female friend." Annie spread out her hand. Her face looked red under the influence of alcohol, but she was very conscious.

"So there's only one way." Zhang Hengdao.

"What?"

"Ask her when she wakes up."

Zhang Heng didn't lay too heavy a hand because he didn't know each other's intention. The mysterious woman just opened her eyes after less than two hours in a coma. Zhang Heng also finished dinner in the middle of the time.

Annie was playing with the make-up mirror she had found on her partner.

"I thought you didn't like it."

"I don't like this kind of thing." Annie said lazily, "but I remember that my father gave me a similar mirror on my fourteenth birthday. It seems that it's quite expensive. If you take it out, you can get a lot of money."

"I'll give it to you if you want it." It's a mysterious woman who was in a coma.

When she woke up, she found that her hands and feet were tied up for the first time, but even at this time, she still kept calm on the surface, which did not seem to match her age and family background.

It's a pity that she chose the wrong way to release her kindness. Annie chuckled and put her legs on the table. She leaned on the back of the chair and said, "I never need someone else to give me what I like. I'll take it myself."

However, after she made the bold declaration, she saw someone raise eyebrows and moved her legs off the table.

"You must be the captain of the jackdaw, Mr. Zhang Heng. I must admit that you are younger than I thought."

Mysterious women's eyes also moved to the side of Zhang Heng.

"Who are you and why are you sneaking into my house?"

"I'm sorry, but please forgive me for coming uninvited. I don't have any malice. I just want to meet you and have a business talk, because I can only make such a bad decision in a special period." The mysterious woman said sincerely.

"Special period?"

"My name is Karina Portman." The mysterious woman introduced herself, "I'm a trader, but in Nassau, you seem to be more used to calling us black market traders. In a word, I've done business on the island before, and I've cooperated with many ships. Captain fuller of the archer, Captain Randall of the Duke, and, oh, Elvin of the flying fish have all established good cooperative relations with me."

As she said this, Karina was also observing the expression on Zhang Heng's face. Unfortunately, she couldn't see anything, so she could only go on, "I heard that you've been out to sea for a long time, and you just came back today. Maybe you don't know much about the situation on the island. The black market businessmen were discussing the establishment of a business alliance as early as four months ago, aiming at solving the chaotic situation on the island The preparatory work of this alliance is almost finished. They have reached several consensus, including reducing the share of ships led by the new captain. In the afternoon, you should also meet some black market merchants. I believe the result will not satisfy you. "

Zhang Heng is noncommittal, "didn't similar things happen three years ago? I heard that the League didn't come to a good end

"I know what you're thinking, but I'm afraid the alliance won't be dissolved so soon this time." Karina said, "the League of the yearIt was organized by several big black market businessmen on the island, and the rules made are only rules among businessmen, but this time the situation is different, because the pirates have also joined in. "

"Well?"

"I don't know if you've ever heard of Fraser. It's said that he has a high reputation on the pirate side. This time, he came forward to persuade a group of powerful pirate groups to join the alliance. The first mate of the merchants raised the purchase price of their booty in exchange for a long-term and stable cooperation between them. And the value they can create accounts for 70% of all the pirates in Nassau. In this way, basically, businessmen outside the alliance can't get any more valuable booty, so those who opposed before have to give in one after another. " Kalina's look between some helpless, "now the island did not join the alliance of black market businessmen has been very few."

Zhang Heng finally knows why those black market businessmen are so indifferent this afternoon. If Karina doesn't lie, the alliance will take the absolute initiative once it is established. Although their costs will increase in the early stage, and they need to pay the pirates who sign the contract a higher price, we should know that piracy is a high-risk occupation. As time goes on, These pirate groups with high prices will certainly be fewer and fewer, and the number of new pirates like Zhang Heng will be more and more, and their income will be higher and higher. At this time, the market has been monopolized by the alliance. Without other black market merchants offering prices, they can only accept the purchase price stipulated by the alliance.
