Chapter 253

Recently, events on the island continued one by one. Led by the black Prince Sam, the six most powerful pirate groups in Nassau challenged the Spanish treasure ship that no one dared to provoke before. After a fierce battle, they successfully sank each other, but later they were ambushed by the Navy. In the end, only the Jackdaw successfully returned to Nassau with most of the gold.

Not long after that, there was a large-scale black slave uprising at Terrence manor in Malcolm.

There was a lot of noise that night, and several plantations nearby were shocked. However, except for the part of the slaves killed in the battle, only a small part of the escaped people were captured. When people were speculating about the loss of Terrence manor, it was then revealed that Malcolm framed Normand.

Three years later, Eugene took the initiative to stand up and admitted that he was coerced by Malcolm and forged Norman's acceptance of bribes with several captains who had good relations with him, which led to the dissolution of the first generation of black business alliance. Norman left Nassau dejectedly. At the same time, the letters they exchanged were also disclosed.

The news caused a stir among the black market businessmen in Nassau.

Although Normand left Nassau for a few years, he still had considerable influence on the island. Most of the black market businessmen attended his funeral.

As soon as the news came out, Malcolm immediately felt great pressure. In the afternoon of the next day, Raymond also made a formal voice. On the surface, he was appeasing people's emotions and keeping them in control. But in the end, he finally revealed his real intention and said that he would investigate the matter. Malcolm certainly knew what the latter was up to If Raymond takes over the investigation, there will be no suspense about the result.

However, at the moment, he does not have many excuses to prevent Raymond from intervening. The latter's reputation plays a decisive role at this time. Raymond is Normand's closest friend and the current president of the black business alliance. In the eyes of outsiders, he has a good relationship with him. It is no doubt that Raymond is the most fair to conduct the investigation.

Malcolm has no time to find a solution to the problem of framing Norman. 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 more and more unfavorable to him, he urgently needs to find new allies.

Malcolm is even ready for rebleeding. The previous offer is not without the possibility of bargaining. However, when that day comes, Malcolm doesn't see the shadow of the businesswoman in the coffee shop.

Malcolm sat in front of his usual round table for a whole afternoon until the sun set and finally heard the sound of footsteps outside the door.

Wallace, the housekeeper, pushed the door and came in.

Malcolm put down his cold coffee, raised his head and frowned, "what's the matter?"

"Now there are many rumors outside that Mr. Fagan's imprisonment has something to do with you. Many people know that he opposed you to form a black business alliance on the island before he was jailed. Miss Karina is now with Raymond and asks him to do justice." The housekeeper said cautiously.

However, to his surprise, Malcolm didn't have too many emotional changes, as if he wasn't surprised at all. He just nodded and said calmly, "I know."

Wallace, the housekeeper, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "the investigation of the black slave riot that night is almost done. The leader is Leah. They finally ran to the beach, got on a boat and left Nassau. I investigated the ships that left the harbor that day and the day before, and found that jackdaw left the harbor early that day with full supplies. They probably turned back after dark So... "

"So what?" Malcolm asked.

"So what happened that night should have something to do with them. Those letters may have been stolen by Leah. We can tell this to other big landlords on the island. They certainly don't want this to happen to them one day. They will unite to force the Jackdaw to hand over the escaped slaves."

Malcolm was noncommittal and pointed to the seat in front of him. "I remember when we were children, we played together every day, and you even roasted sweet potato for me to eat. But later I went to school, and I didn't have dinner together. You were looking for the cooks here."

"Yes, Alfonso, a Spaniard, has a stubborn temper and hates pirates. It took me a whole week and twice the market price to persuade him to come here to cook. You know, when he first came here, he put up a sign forbidding pirates at the door and was almost strangled at night."

"Well, the coffee and fried eggs he made are really good. It's almost time to finish the meal. Since you're here, let's eat together. After that, you can ask him if he would like to leave with us."

"You..." There was a touch of worry on Wallace's face.

"Don't worry about me," Malcolm said lightly. "I came here empty handed four years ago, and in these four years, I made money that most people can't make in their lifetime. Even if I leave here, the wealth still belongs to me."

He then said, "losing is losing. I've never been the one who can't afford to lose. If it's a big deal, I'll start all over again in another place. There's not only one way to make money. I can achieve today's situation without anything in the past. Now it's unreasonable to hold so much money in my hand. On the contrary, I can't find a way out. What's more, Raymond may not be able to laugh for long, if he looks down on it That woman, Karina, will pay the price sooner or later. ""You seem to think highly of her."

Malcolm snorted, "I personally opened the box, released the devil in her heart, and let her face up to her ambition and desire. I know that she is a very good student, but her growth rate has repeatedly exceeded my expectations. Not long ago, she was still resenting the people who destroyed her life, but now she has been able to control her emotions Xu, make the best choice for yourself, and even make an alliance with the person who framed her father. It's interesting. I made her what she is now, and she ruined my career on the island, so I guess we're even. "

"In fact, the alliance between her and Raymond is also very fragile. We can tell Raymond that she already knows who framed her father." Wallace hesitated.

"No, we don't do anything. Raymond is not a fool. He won't turn over with Karina until I leave Nassau." Malcolm took another sip of coffee and said, "when I was old enough to live, I would be too old to be a volunteer. Why should I do something that is not good for me? Speaking of it, Raymond must be intoxicated with the joy of solving my problem. He didn't know that there was a bomb beside him. Let's leave her there. It's my last gift to my old friend. ”
