Chapter 202 Opportunity
? "You promised me that there would be no accident this time." Malcolm said.
Fraser hung his cape on the hanger on one side and shrugged his shoulders.
"If I remember correctly, our agreement before was to sink the cargo ship, kill everyone except the inside and outside, and then turn around and leave quietly."
"That's right."
"Then tell me what happened on the beach four days ago, why did the Breeze and the crew on it come back to Nassau, and the guy named Wilton used them to threaten Karina?"
"I found the most vicious pirates outside the island as you asked, but on the other hand, I seemed to underestimate their ferocity." Fraser's face also showed a look of helplessness. "Things are out of control. The guy named Wilton is even more greedy than I thought. Not only did he get our deposit, he also wanted to make another profit with the crew on the Breeze. He did not comply with the agreement. I originally planned to go to him the next day, but the next morning I heard about what happened... But the good news is that we should not have to pay them the final payment." Fraser picked up the glass on the table.
Malcolm pointed to the brandy on the shelf, "So after spending such a lot of effort, we not only did not get the desired result, but instead sent her another transport ship? In addition, the Jackdaw became more famous on the island. In terms of fame, they are even about to overwhelm the Boxer Group of the Black Prince Sam."
Fraser walked over and poured himself half a cup, "I'm half his teacher, but I never really saw through him. He is different from Blackbeard, but there is one thing that both of them are the same. They are very clear about what they are doing. When I heard that Jackdaw returned to Hong Kong, I had bad thoughts in my heart. I should have warned Wilton in advance. I just didn't expect him to do so quickly, but afterwards, this is indeed the best way to do a mobile phone."
The old pirate took a sip of brandy, "And I just got a bad news."
"Um?"
"The Black Prince Sam is joining forces with several captains with parliamentary seats on the island, intending to elect Zhang Heng to the island's parliament. With his strength and connections, he has easily collected seven places, so it is a foregone conclusion that Zhang Heng enters the parliament. Although he is unwilling to admit it, his influence on the island is indeed getting bigger and bigger. Are you still not going to consider my proposal?"
Malcolm glanced at Fraser, "I am a businessman, not Caesar. I came to this island to make money. Nassau has developed well in recent years. The total cargo volume has increased every year, but the quality has declined. The top pirate forces are getting fewer and fewer. After Blackbearded Tiddie bombarded Charleston, he disappeared. Sam is the only top pirate on the island. The appearance of the Jackdaw can make up for the gap in this regard. Karina was able to hold on the island with only one pirate ship, which shows how strong the Jackdaw's ability to make money is."
"The premise is that he is willing to cooperate with the Black Business Alliance."
Malcolm did not comment, "As long as he could cut off the channels for transporting goods out of the island, he would naturally have to turn around and cooperate with us. If you did not have such low-level mistakes, he should have sat at the negotiating table with us now."
Fraser finished drinking the brandy in his hand, "What should we do now? Will I ask someone else to rob her transport ship? But the insider has been exposed, and they will be more cautious in the future. It is not easy to get their sailing route. And now they have two ships in their hands, killing one and one left. I heard that other captains are already in private contact with Miss Karina to discuss the possibility of long-term cooperation. The island's view of her is also changing. More and more people are beginning to believe that she is not just a passerby in a hurry."
"Let's go to the robbery first. Although the means outside the rules are the simplest and most effective, they have many negative effects. The Black Merchants Alliance has just been established, and I have not been able to completely control it. There are many other voices inside. This kind of thing cannot be repeated. If we cannot fight quickly, we need to find a new way."
Malcolm's expression remained unchanged, and then said, "I just met her not long ago. I originally thought she and her father were the same type of people. My arrangements were based on this point before, but later I found that I had a wrong judgment on her. She and her father had almost nothing in common. On the contrary, she looked very similar to me when she was young, but she was more ambitious and more radical. I could probably guess what she was thinking at this moment."
"oh?"
"She found that after Malcolm was bought by me, she must be filled with anger and unwillingness, but then these anger and unwillingness will turn into hunger and thirst. She will want to defeat me more than ever. This thirst will give her extra motivation, but it will also make her more risky." Malcolm paused, "So, next I will give her a chance."
Fraser raised his eyebrows, "What chance?"
"The chance to defeat me." Malcolm said lightly.
…………
The Jackdaws' renovation time this time was very short, less than a week. The Breeze was unable to bring back new clues from the port because of being robbed halfway. However, the Black Prince Sam found Zhang Heng two days ago and invited him to participate in a hunting.
"Spanish Treasure Ship?" Billy repeated to confirm that he had heard it correctly. "You are talking about the Spanish Treasure Ship? The Garen Sailing ship with three decks loaded with eighty cannons and more than two hundred fully armed sailors, not to mention that they usually have two or three frigates sailing together. As far as I know, only Pete Hein had successfully seized the goods on the Treasure Ship and transported them back to the country, and he did this with a whole military fleet of tmd."
"Is that right? I don't know this story, but I heard that when you were with Blackbeard, you used only more than a hundred men to seize the Royal Navy's pride Scarbury from more than seven hundred people across the street." Sam said.
"No matter who tells you about this, he definitely didn't say that we had the right time and place at that time. Orff's trick came into effect by chance. We finally rushed to the opposite deck. Captain Ticy made one and everyone burst out with all their potential. But even so, if it weren't for Zhang Heng's last shot, their captain was greedy enough to be afraid of death, and we would still fail."
