Chapter 254

Zhang Heng didn't expect that there was one more person on board when jackdaw came back. He looked at Billy.

The latter shrugged. "It wasn't my idea, it was her own."

Leah said politely, carrying her luggage. "Can you take me in? I will do a lot of things. "

"Yes, but why don't you stay with your tribe? You managed to escape from that manor just to live a free life, didn't you

"I I have great respect for raeli. He united us at the most difficult time and led us out of the misery. He is a greater chief than his father. But on some things, I have different opinions with him. I don't think the way out for me and my compatriots is on those deserted islands. "

"Well?" Zhang Heng picked his eyebrows.

"We may be able to live a peaceful life on that island for a while, but sooner or later the slavers will come back to us, just as they did in my hometown. They will still kill the old and frail first, separate brother and sister from mother and son. If we can't find a real way out, these things will happen again and again, until all the black people become brothers Slaves. "

Zhang Heng was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Elia's age and insight could even say such words. Although she is still limited by the times, in a sense, she has seen farther than raeli. Zhang Heng asked, "where do you think the way out is?"

"I don't know," Leah shook her head. "I'm still looking for it, but what I'm good at is useless on a desert island, so I want to stay here, stay in the civilized world, and play my part."

"This is not a civilized world, and my crew has been basically recruited. You are not a sailor, but also a woman..." Zhang Heng thought about it and asked Karina on the other side, "are you still short of people over there?"

The businesswoman nodded and said to the black girl, "I heard that you can read. My grocery store in Boston is about to open. You can go there and help me keep accounts. I'll provide you with board and lodging. I'll pay you a pound a month for the time being. When the business is good, I'll give you a raise according to the situation."

Leah's face lit up with joy.

After settling down the black girl, the businesswoman continued the unfinished topic and told Zhang Heng a few separate meetings with Raymond and the agreement they had reached. Then she said, "can you go out with me?"

Zhang Heng nodded and went out with Karina to the ridge.

Today's weather is good, sunny, and caressing the sea breeze, it is very suitable for walking, Karina also has no clear direction, just casually found a direction to go down, all the way the businesswoman did not speak, Zhang Heng also kept silent.

This is not because there is nothing to say between the two, but they are enjoying the rare peace. Now it has been three weeks since the riots in Terrence manor. Many things have happened in these three weeks. However, so far, the situation has basically stabilized, and Malcolm is doomed.

On the other hand, without Malcolm's strong executive power, Raymond, an elderly man, can no longer maintain the operation of the black business alliance. Although no formal statement has been issued, everyone knows that the dissolution of the black business alliance is inevitable.

Soon, there will be a reshuffle of the power of the black market merchants on the island, and they will return to the situation of fierce competition before. Recently, the black market merchants in Nassau are ready to contact the pirate ships they have cooperated with before, find new partners, and spy on other people's offers.

It's a loss of income for some, but it's also an opportunity for others.

Malcolm took advantage of the disintegration of the first generation of black business alliance to rise rapidly in those years. Now there are many eager people who want to recapture his previous success.

In this case, Malcolm is undoubtedly the loser. Although Raymond has lost his nominal position as the president of the black business alliance, his reputation has risen to a new height because of the justice for Normand and Fagin, and he has almost caught up with Normand.

With good reputation and strong contacts, many of Nassau's powerful pirate groups have spoken out and are willing to continue to cooperate with Raymond when the black business alliance disintegrates. However, as long as the latter is still in place for a day, they can't respond to these rumors.

But everyone believes that Raymond will have more pirate ships than before.

The next beneficiary is Kalina, who has been on the island for the shortest time. However, in the face of the huge pressure from Malcolm and the black business alliance, she coped well and showed her extraordinary business ability. Her second-hand goods trading office also won her a lot of praise among small and medium-sized pirates. In addition, Malcolm deliberately sent a wave of powerful pirate ships before Give it to her. If she can digest it smoothly, she will become a big black market businessman after Raymond after the collapse of the black business alliance.

But it's all after that.Now she does not want to think so much, just want to enjoy the next stage of victory.

So they went all the way to the beach, Karina finally decided to say, "I'm sorry, I'm actually hiding something from you."

"Did Malcolm have that private conversation with you?" Zhang Hengdao.

There was a look of surprise on Karina's face.

"Don't get me wrong, I didn't send someone to watch you, but after all, it was the day of the operation. I will certainly pay attention to Malcolm's action. In fact, I can probably guess what he said to you." Zhang Heng said, "when you think about Eugene, there are too many coincidences, and his attitude is too cooperative. I didn't doubt Raymond, but then you lost your soul, which confirmed my conjecture in some way."

"Since Eugene's affair is related to Raymond, it's very possible that Raymond also played a role in it. Before, we had a preconceived idea. When we saw the letter Leah stole, we thought it was Malcolm's attack on your father. But in fact, from the content of the letter, it can be understood that Malcolm was investigating the affair, you know The reason why you don't tell me is because you are afraid that you will have no choice after you tell me, because from my point of view, you will definitely be advised to take advantage of this opportunity to solve Malcolm, who is the most threatening, so that you will lose the possibility of working with Malcolm to avenge your father. "

"Why, since you have guessed, why didn't you warn me then?"

"Because it's your choice." Zhang Heng said, "although I have a stake in the second-hand goods trading office, in the final analysis, it's your business. It's also your father who was framed and jailed. This should be your choice, and it must be your choice."

"Do you think I'm a cold-blooded person who can make an alliance with my enemies when I turn my head without revenge from my father?" Kalina asked again.

This time, Zhang Heng didn't answer the question, but said, "one day you will beat Raymond and become the most powerful black market businessman on the island, just like you beat Malcolm today."

"But on that day, will I not even know myself?" The businesswoman grinned bitterly.

"Maybe you never really know yourself."
