48 Hours a Day

It is no surprise that Zhang Heng cannot be seated in the black merchants' league, especially after he established cooperation with Karina, when the black merchants' league discovered that Cold Raven had a channel to turn the spoils into loot, that the only negotiating advantage no longer existed and that it naturally had to start looking for alternative solutions.

Fraser was right to say that he and the Cold Raven needed time to grow up, but at the same time the same sentence applied to the Black Business Coalition, which was still a newborn.

A group of black market businessmen, led by Raymond and Malcolm, who sought profits, wanted to establish a trade order on the island and put an end to the ongoing chaos, gained a sufficient number of supporters and allies through a range of means, with almost all of the island's most powerful pirates on their side, while voices of opposition persisted.

What they are doing is not in keeping with the spirit of freedom and adventure that Nassau has always admired, especially among small and medium-sized pirates, many of whom are dissatisfied with the current price scheme, but who, in comparison to organized black merchants' alliances, lack leadership and a sense of cooperation, have always been scattered sand and sporadic resistance has not sparked much water flowers. Once the black merchants' alliance has successfully passed the most dangerous period of the previous period, they will have no choice but to accept reality if they are not willing to do so.

However, Zhang Heng's appearance now gave them a fresh glimpse of hope. The Cold Crow, the only pirate group in Nassau today with no power to cooperate with the Black Business Coalition, became an invisible flag of opponents.

Things are now no longer just a matter between the Cold Crow and the Black Business Coalition.

This has both advantages and disadvantages for Zhang Heng. Whether he wants it or not, he and his Cold Raven have been pushed to the tip of the wind again, but on the other hand, countless eyes are now staring at them, and both sides can only solve the problem by means within the rules.

This would undoubtedly be more beneficial to Zhang Heng, as the Cold Raven would make the Black Business League increasingly uncomfortable as long as it developed normally, but he had no idea that Malcolm, the Black Business League No. 2 figure, would find himself so quickly.

“I checked, and six days later, at that dinner at Terrence Manor, Malcolm invited a number of faces on the island, including some famous captains, landowners on the island, etc., mainly to thank them for their support for the Black Business Coalition, which should be safe and sound.” Billy was a good helmsman and went to investigate the matter as soon as Zhang Heng received the invitation. He went to the door the next morning to inform the latter of the results.

“Thank you,” said Zhang Hengxian.

When the helmsman of the Cold Raven left, Annie came down from upstairs with a howl, “What dinner are you really going to go to? ”

“Well, Malcolm wants to know what kind of person I am, and I want to know as well what the Black Business Coalition intends to do next.” Zhang Heng explained.

“Ah, I have no idea what you guys are thinking. Why do you need so much bullshit if you encounter enemies and just cut them off?” The red-haired girl sat at the table muttering and scorched the side of the jam on the bread.

“Sometimes I wish things could be that simple.” Zhang Hengton, "let's not talk about it. How's your house? ”

“Not bad, Harry asked me a circle and finally found a place that was almost exactly what I thought it would be, it was close to the pier, just a minute away, there were two taverns on the street next door, and it didn't close all night, there was a little open space behind it to practice knives, and most importantly, for 200 silver pesos, Harry said the price could be a little cheaper, I thought it would suit me, I was going to pay for it in the afternoon. ”

“Congratulations. ”

Zhang Heng knew what this cabin meant to Annie. She fled her wealthy family to Nassau in pursuit of freedom. When she was a child, she often saw the mother from the maid being careful in front of her father. Since then, she has rebelled. The red-haired girl doesn't want to send people under the fence like her mother and depends on whom to live. That's why she takes the promise she made to give someone half of the spoils so seriously.

From the beginning, they agreed that Annie would just stay here for a while and move out when she had the money, and now, finally, on this day, Annie started looking for a place on the island as soon as she got her trophy, until today, when she finally found a satisfactory place to stay and fulfilled her long-awaited dreams.

But her dreams have changed a bit today.

“Nobody will ever stop me from putting my feet on the table again!” The red-haired maiden, "no one could force me to finish the soup in the bowl! ”

“ ………… ”

Zhang Heng had intended to help Annie move in together, but at noon the crew of the Cold Crow had clashed with another group of pirates, and Zhang Heng, as captain, had to deal with the dispute.

Things weren't too big. Although a group of beatings had occurred, no one had died. Only one unlucky guy across the street had been stabbed in the thigh. Zhang Heng was confronted when he arrived at the Buddhist courtyard. The unlucky guy who had been stabbed in the leg had already wrapped his wound.

He briefly understood the course of the matter, knowing that the conflict was because the two sides were fighting over a gorgeous woman, who had already been wrapped by the pirates of the Hunter, but because the pirates of the Cold Raven were willing to pay double the price, the gorgeous woman changed her mind, the pirates of the Hunter felt that their male dignity had been insulted, so both sides fought hard...

This kind of thing basically happens in every courtyard. Generally speaking, it just takes a little money to pass, but now the whole of Nassau knows that the Cold Raven has made a lot of money. The hunter group has moved greed, and the lion opens his mouth on the compensation money, and after being rejected, many people blocked the Cold Raven people here.

The captain of the Hunter stood up from the table and straightened out his collar, but Zhang Heng was too lazy to listen to his bullshit and said directly, “Let go. ”

“Sure, as long as you pay for 20 Spanish gold coins.” The former grinned.

“It seems we can no longer reach consensus on this issue, so follow the old rules.” Zhang Heng pulled out the knife directly from the waist.

The captain of the Hunter has changed his appearance. He did not expect the other party to be so cruel. The so-called old rules mean that if two groups of pirates disagree, the captain can solve the dispute by single-handedly and group beatings. Zhang Heng's meaning at this moment is undoubtedly the first choice.

If it was 20 years ago, he didn't mind the challenge, but now that he's old and a little shapely, he doesn't have a very good chance of winning on his own, so he hastily said, "There are many of us, why should I do it alone with you? ”

But as soon as he put it out, he blushed himself, and even the pirates behind the Hunter showed their disdain. Among the pirates who worship martial arts, this cowardly act of war will undoubtedly be despised by all.

But now, in order to blackmail, the captain of the Hunter had to put his face aside.

“Group beatings? Are you sure?” Zhang Heng heard the speech unchanged, retracted the army knife, turned his head and looked not far away at the lively prostitutes, “who knocked down a hunter's number three silver coins, who participated? ”

His voice had just fallen, and a large crowd stood up when the Buddhist Garden paused.
