48 Hours a Day

“So what's the good for Malcolm if we lose our first flight?” The red-haired girl doesn't understand.

“Not everyone on this island supports the establishment of the Black Business Coalition, especially those small pirates who are slightly weaker, but because they are too weak to notice their voices, we are the only powerful pirates on the island who are not part of the Coalition, many are watching our every move, so the price negotiations before will be so difficult. In fact, the Black Business Coalition does not mind giving a higher takeover price to a boat, but if they do so, it would be tantamount to breaking the rules they have set for themselves and giving others reason to fight for higher prices, and if our first voyage turns out poorly, such troubles will naturally disappear. ”

Annie was completely misty about this multifaceted game, and after listening, "Simply put, we're working with Karina now, and it's probably nothing to do with the League of Black Merchants, so there won't be any more of this shit, right? ”

At that time, Zhang Heng also said, “I'm afraid not. The situation should be the last thing the black merchants' union wants to see. We came home full of trophies, but chose a channel other than them. They watched a lot of valuable goods flow out of the island without making any money. This is the most distressing place for them, especially if they have already given the island's old pirates a higher price, and they need to make up for this part of the loss from the new pirates, who will most likely not ignore our actions. ”

“Oh, so overbearing? What does it have to do with what we do with the loot we take out of the sea ourselves? Speaking of which, since this ghost league was set up, the island has been full of smoke, or we can just kill them all!” The red-haired girl is irritable.

“That's not a good idea," a familiar voice came from behind the three, "and some of the most powerful pirates on the island are now on their side, and you're downwind in numbers, and it's not very wise to start at a time like this. ”

The three of them turned around and saw the old pirate who had just walked out of the bakery next door. Compared to before, the latter had changed into a new dress and looked delighted, although he still had that old grey hat on his head, while still carrying a fresh bag of toast in his arms.

“Fraser, how dare you show up in front of us?” As soon as Billy heard that voice, it cooled down.

Previously, the old sailors on the Sea Lion were killed by Fraser Pit. As soon as they landed, they ran to the tavern where the latter often stayed. They found nothing there. I didn't expect the other party to appear before him again today.

“Billy, you know this has nothing to do with personal grievances, our goal is the same, to free the crew of the Sealion from the lies and brutality of the reign, but with all due respect, your little tactics are totally inadequate in front of Olf, so I can only try to solve the problem my way. ”

The old pirate shrugged, and he simply admitted, "Yes, I did take advantage of you, so of course you have reason to be angry, but if things go on as I planned, you'll all be fine, and I know you don't believe me, but you should always believe Owen, the kid was on the boat, and he did care about you, and it wasn't disguised, so when he became captain, he would definitely give you back your innocence. ”

Billy sneered, "You're right, but if only we could live to that day, if Zhang Heng and Olf hadn't made an agreement, we wouldn't be here until Charleston... I won't believe your bullshit anymore, Fraser, not a word more, you've never seen anything but profit, nothing for you can be abandoned, right? ”

“In fact, I'm not as cold-blooded as you think I am, and I know that you are dissatisfied with me, so think of this as an effort to make up for the harm I've done to you.” Fraser reached into his jacket pocket and saw Billy and Annie pull out their weapons in colour. He made a slightly restless gesture with his other hand holding the bread and eventually pulled out an invitation and handed it to Zhang Heng.

“I admit that I saw you as good, but I didn't expect you to be better than I expected, and if I could choose again, I would certainly try to get you instead of using you as bait, but unfortunately we can't change what's already happened, can we?” The old pirates sighed, "You have no less talent than Titch, now you have a good ship, and you have a great crew of sailors, so it's only time that prevents you from becoming the strongest pirates in the area, and I can buy you that time. ”

The old pirate paused, "After my persuasion, Malcolm has realized that he has made a mistake in how he treated you, and he would like to apologize for what happened after that, while restarting negotiations with you. Seven days later, there is a dinner at Terrence Manor, where Malcolm hopes to meet you. ”

“The League of Black Merchants is what you do behind your back.” Billy Coldway.

“You can't help but think of me,” said the old pirate, "Raymond and Malcolm, who had already begun to learn lessons from the initial failure of the alliance, and started exploring the creation of a new alliance, or, more accurately, the previous alliance, which was an immature experiment by which they practiced to accumulate experience and observe the reactions of all parties on the island, so that the alliance would only be so crisp after that, and this time they were ready for three years, and by the time it came out a few months ago, the main work had actually been done. ”

“As for me, it just so happens that without my help, they can find someone else to contact for them, and at best take a little more time.” Fraser is serious, "you have not dealt with Malcolm, so you may not know how horrible this man is. He is the most dangerous person I have ever seen in my life. I personally strongly suggest that you take this opportunity to mend your relationship with the Black Merchants Union, the center of gravity of the Cold Raven is on the sea, and the Black Merchants Union is in charge of the landing. There is actually no conflict of interest between you two. If you can sit down and talk to each other, why oppose each other? ”
