After Zhang Heng and Karina left Heiman manor, they discussed with Billy and others to improve their next actions after getting the letter, including cooperation with Eugene, spreading the news quickly in the black business alliance, gaining more extensive support on the island, and so on. Raymond's attitude will undoubtedly be crucial.
As the nominal president of the black market alliance, the latter is also the most prestigious black market businessman. His every move has a very important impact on other black market businessmen.
However, it is not easy to persuade Raymond to make up his mind to deal with Malcolm. The former is old after all, and it is difficult to engage in management work. Without Malcolm, the black business alliance is likely to be unable to operate.
But the good news is that unlike Malcolm, Raymond is not so ambitious. He has not been so hostile to Kalina and the latter's second-hand goods trading office. Zhang Heng has two cards. One is the friendship between Raymond and Norman. Almost Nassau knows that when Norman was in the most difficult time, only Raymond was still supporting him in the black business alliance. Under such a background, Malcolm's case of framing Norman was exposed, and Raymond could hardly ignore it.
Another card is that Malcolm secretly subsidizes his son-in-law's political opponents behind Raymond's back. In addition, they have had disputes before, so they are quite sure that they can win Raymond over.
…………
By the end of the discussion, it was almost dawn.
Karina went back to her place, washed up, and was ready to take a nap to recover her spirits. However, shortly after she lay down, a carriage appeared outside her door.
Someone knocked on her door, and then the businesswoman heard the quarrel coming from downstairs. Karina had to get dressed again and go downstairs.
She saw two new guards she had hired a month ago pull out their short muskets and confront the people outside.
"Your people don't seem to welcome me very much." The visitor opened his mouth and took off his black gloves.
When Karina saw the people outside, her face suddenly changed. "How dare you show up here after doing so many things to me? I should have ordered them to shoot."
"Then why don't you give orders?"
The businesswoman was silent.
"It seems that your brain is still awake. You can't stay on the island after killing me. Good. I like to deal with rational people." "Since you don't plan to let them shoot, should you invite me in next?" said the visitor
Karina doesn't like this feeling very much. Just like the last time she was in the cafe, her aura was completely suppressed by the other party. Malcolm took the absolute initiative and it was hard for her to refute what she said.
Normally speaking of this step, there is nothing to say between them. After tonight, the outcome will be decided, but Karina doesn't know why, so she finally gives up.
Malcolm walked into the house with a look of self-confidence, as if he was going back to his own residence. Karina's two guards followed him closely. The businesswoman hesitated and finally let them go out first.
At this point, only Kalina and Malcolm were left in the room.
The latter pulled up a chair, sat down, and said bluntly, "I suggest a truce between us."
"Why, because you can't hold it?" The businesswoman sneered.
Malcolm unexpectedly did not object. "I did make a lot of mistakes, Sam. they went to sea. I thought about two results. First, they got to share the 5000 pounds of gold together. Second, they failed to hit the Spanish treasure ship and had to withdraw to Nassau. No matter what, they couldn't solve your dilemma, but I didn't expect that jackdaw could do it alone Swallowing more than half of the gold, the emergence of the navy is out of the plan, but learning from the lessons of the previous several times, you don't really think it's just these accidents that let me lose this game
"Isn't it?"
"If my plan is strictly implemented, you won't be able to make it to jackdaw." Malcolm said faintly.
"It turns out that those in power of the powerful black business alliance only have such low-level means as scaring people."
"You don't know who your real enemy is, do you?" Malcolm put his gloves on the table with his back on the chair.
"No, it's the only thing I've been sober about all along." Karina sneered, "you let pirates robbed my transport ship, let the bad ass Wilton humiliate me, murder my crew, put my eyes around me, let the black merchants alliance blockade me, bully me, experience, and induce me to over expand..."
"These are normal means of business competition. You are also trying to make trouble for my captain. I thought you enjoyed this kind of thing."
"Enjoy?" Karina laughed angrily, "you framed my father with despicable means, put him in prison, destroyed my family and life, and now come to me and tell me that we are not enemies. This is the funniest joke I have ever heard in my life.""I finally understand where your anger is coming from." Malcolm raised his eyebrows. After a pause, he said again, "if I told you that I had nothing to do with your father's imprisonment, what would you think?"
"Oh, Mr. Malcolm, as an opponent, I once had a little respect for you. Please don't let the only respect disappear."
"I'm sorry, I'm not telling a joke." Malcolm shook his head. "I respect your father very much. Although he and I have different positions, as an opponent, I will beat him mercilessly and drive him out of Nassau, but I will not use such means. After his accident, I contacted the family for the first time and asked them to investigate this matter. Unfortunately, it is difficult to find evidence for this kind of thing, so I can only find a way in the end Let the family contact count Slote, invite him home for dinner, and give him two boxes of top-grade porcelain, at the cost of which he finally opened his mouth and said who asked him to frame your father
"Who?"
"You won't believe it. He has always had a good relationship with your father. No, he has a good relationship with all the black market businessmen on the island. Now Raymond, the president of the black business alliance, is not the first time he has done such a thing. I don't know if you have heard of the name Norman. He was also Raymond's best friend. The disintegration of the first generation of the black business alliance is the same as Raymond It doesn't work. "
