Chapter 154 Return to Port

Fifty-five days have passed since the departure of the Cold Raven, and rumours of all kinds have begun to emerge on the island.

Some say Zhang Heng they encountered a storm and lost their way at sea. Some say they were caught by the navy, there was a fierce battle between the two sides, and finally the Cold Raven was sunk. Some even believe that Dandan said that they had met mermaids, and the crew of the boat was lured by singing and into the sea...

However, no matter what the rumors have in common, it is believed that the Cold Raven will not return. It is no secret that Zhang Heng brought their supplies before they went out to sea. Now a month and a half has passed. Even without considering the losses on the road, the food and freshwater reserves on the Cold Raven have been seen to the bottom, and to this day they have still not returned to port. At this time, most of them are very rare.

Such things are not uncommon among pirates, especially the newly formed pirate corps, but Zhang Heng's possession of a warship, coupled with the recruitment of a female sailor in the bush, attracted more attention.

The response to this eventual outcome varied among the people on the island. The gamblers who had previously wagered the Cold Crow for nothing were naturally thrilled, while the vast majority felt a little sorry for the lively Guan Eating Party. Rather than this tedious ending, they wanted to see the Cold Crow go home empty-handed. Zhang Heng, the new captain, was overthrown by his men.

By contrast, James on the other side was much more straightforward. Hearing the good news, he had had a good drink at the pub to celebrate Zhang Heng's passionate enemy's death, but when he remembered that Annie was on that boat, he was suddenly not happy again. He took so much effort to turn the latter into the New World and put a lot of money into the red-haired girl. In the end, the bamboo basket was empty. James suddenly found that the rum in the glass tasted nothing.

And Harry is probably the only one on the island who's really sad about the Cold Crow.

He looked a little sloppy for two days, without that red-haired demon, he could be king of the neighboring streets, and he had bronze sobbies in his pockets that other kids had come to honor in the morning, but somehow he always felt something was missing in his life.

Harry, with his hands in his pockets, kicked the little stone beside his foot with boredom and remembered the time he had been beaten to death by that man on the ground.

That fist filled with strength and anger fell like a rain spot, which, in Harry's own words, had transcended the battle itself, and every punch of hers seemed to convey a belief that even when I was beaten, I could feel something burning in my chest.

Unfortunately, however, he would never see that figure again, and Harry would have to make a long, ageless sigh here.

Behind him, the two bear children of Ben looked at each other and suspected that their bosses had been fooled.

That's when the three of them saw a figure coming from the pier, and the guy just stuck his head in a casino not far away, and he ran into his mouth and yelled, "He's back, he's back, the Cold Raven's back! Ha-ha-ha, I haven't lost yet! ”

The two children were surprised to hear that during this time, the people of the island had basically accepted that the Cold Raven had suffered an accident. After all, if the latter could have come back, it would have been long ago. According to past experience, basically things like this kind of late return had already happened. I didn't expect that things would actually turn around and look at my boss, but the shadow was long gone.

Harry rushed to the pier with a sigh of breath, and by this time the neighborhood had been crowded with people watching the noise. Harry was small and squeezed out of the crowd, and eventually he had no heart, and he had squeezed in front of him, and he saw the Cold Raven put down a boat to row this way.

But what disappointed him was that he didn't see Annie up there, another woman sitting on the bow.

The Watchmaker Party is probably numb. I don't know where so many women appeared on the Cold Raven. They are more interested than exploring Zhang Heng's private life or how the first flight of the Cold Raven turned out.

However, when several pirates disembarked the businesswoman, they rowed back, and Karina found the captain of her transport boat in the first place, wondering what she had said to the latter, and then saw the latter hastily gather the sailors on board, during which they would not say anything, no matter what the people around them asked, as if they had not heard.

Instead, they aroused more curiosity in the surrounding parties, when someone finally recognized the identity of Karina Black Market merchant, who had been in contact with some captains and colleagues on the island for some time before, unfortunately, eventually failed to join the newly formed Black Business Coalition, many thought she had left Nassau, but did not expect to walk with the recently appeared Cold Crow.

Afterwards, people saw the Breeze moored in the harbor sail to the side of the Cold Crow, where the two boats were connected by a landing pad, and the pirates on the Cold Crow began to send a crate of cargo to the Breeze.

In addition to the fact that they were a short distance from the pier and that people could not see what exactly was in those boxes and knew that there seemed to be a large quantity, they found Karina subsequently finding the island's mortgage-backed merchant, who spent about an hour in the latter's house.

The latter then escorted her personally to the door, where at dusk Karina had boarded the Breeze and left the harbour, while the pirates on the Raven had not disembarked.

Zhang Heng only dispatched a few elderly people with a tight tone of voice to get off the boat and buy some food, drink and melon fruit to appease the irritable pirates who couldn't get ashore. Although Nassau has unwritten rules, pirates can't touch hawkers' transport vessels, but this time the goods are too valuable to guarantee that people will still run the risk after receiving the news.

Although nothing after the deal was completed had anything to do with the Cold Raven, with Karina's current assets, she could not eat so much. She could only use the two properties in New Hampshire, together with the Breeze, to mortgage the first batch of money to pay for the share of the pirates on board, while the remaining half of the public funds attributed to the Cold Raven could only be replenished once the merchants had taken out the shipment.

Therefore, Zhang Heng must ensure the safety of the Breeze. Apart from that, the two are now allies, not a hammer to buy and sell. He also needs the latter to help him continue selling loot. It is impossible to keep the businesswoman in danger.

He also remembered Kidd's treasure in the front car. Just put this bunch of guys on the boat back on the island, and it won't be long before the whole island knows that the Breeze has a lot of spices of great value.
