48 Hours a Day

Those were two black slaves who had been working for a long time, covered in sweat, and the pit was dug deep by them, so they put the shovel aside and threw down two bodies on one side.

Zhang Heng identified those two bodies as the two men who had previously performed the battle on stage. The guy with the scar on his left face was already dead, while the other seemed to have a weak breath, although his face was stained with blood.

Two black slaves regained their grip on one side of the shovel and began to fill the pit with dirt without expression, seemingly noticing the movement on this side, next to the man who looked like a supervisor came over and lifted his pants.

“Can I help you, gentlemen? ”

“That guy should still be breathing.” Zhang Heng pointed to the dirt pit.

“Oh, his nose is broken, one eye is blind, he can no longer perform the fight, and raising it is just a waste of food, and the wounds are too severe, it takes a lot of medical expenses to heal, so Mr. Malcolm instructed me to dispose of them directly.” Supervisory roads.

“Since you're not going to have him, why don't you give him to me? ”

The supervisor's eyeballs turned and the next moment a purse flew into his hand, he opened the count and found that there were twenty silver coins in it, he couldn't help but rejoice, without any hesitation, he said, "From now on he belongs to you, sir. ”

After that, he looked at the two black slaves who stood still, "What are you doing standing still and moving people to this gentleman's carriage? ”

This time, however, two black slaves stood still and looked at each other.

The supervisor's face sank and raised the whip in his hand.

The eyes of the two black slaves flashed with fear, apparently remembering bad memories, and finally moved again, lifting the black gladiator buried in half of the pit onto the carriage hired by Billy.

Neither Annie nor Billy thought much, just thought Zhang Heng was looking at each other's pathetic hands to save them, especially the latter. He was still thinking about Malcolm's words at night and seemed a little worried on his way back to the city.

“The Black Business Coalition seems to be ready to take on Karina. What do we do? ”

“What do you think? ”

“I don't like that guy.” Annie snorted coldly and bluntly, "His theory of what order might be popular in the colonies, but this is Nassau, the City of Freedom, and we're not the slaves in his estate, let him do it. ”

Billy laughed bitterly, "That being said, the Black Business Coalition is really powerful on the island right now, and Nassau's powerful pirates are on their side, and there are probably only some climateless little pirates who support us, and I know them well, they're a lot of people, but they have a limited role to play, and they can't be expected at this critical time. Once Karina doesn't hold up, we lose the only way to cash in, and there's no second way to go but to bow down to the Alliance. ”

“So now we can't just leave her to work with the Black Business Federation.” Zhang Heng finally said, “Malcolm's ambition is not that simple. He created the Black Business Coalition not only to create a unified standard trading system and improve profits, but also to control the pirates on the island. If he really succeeds, whoever will be captain of the ships in the future will be nothing more than a word to him. By then, no one on the island will be able to resist him. ”

Zhang Hengton went on to say, "In fact, the black merchants' union is not without weaknesses, we always see it as a whole to make it look terrible, but its internal structure is not as strong as we thought. At the heart of the black merchants' union are Raymond and Malcolm, two of whom Raymond is the oldest and most asset black market merchant on the island.

“Because of his presence, it was possible to bring together the black market businessmen on the island and finally discuss a distribution plan that was relatively satisfactory to everyone, but Raymond is old. Although he is the president of the Black Business Federation, he is actually only involved in the process of institution-building and reconciling contradictions. Malcolm is the actual ruler, but he has risen too fast in Nassau and has offended many people in the middle, and Raymond's prestige must be leveraged when forming the Black Business Union. ”

Billy moved, “Is there a contradiction between the two of them? ”

“I don't know.” Zhang Hengqiao.

“Huh?”

“The two of them, as number one and two figures of the Black Business Coalition, certainly need to maintain harmonious relations, at least in the obvious, but privately, they are not known to outsiders, but according to information I have learned these days, Raymond knew Malcolm long before he came to the island. ”

“So they should have a good relationship.” Billy grinned.

“No, I think the opposite is true, Malcolm and Raymond are very successful businessmen. At this level, they rarely get emotional again. Seeing Malcolm tonight also basically testifies to my previous assumptions about him. He is an extremely rational confident man. Although he doesn't like us, he thinks that we are causing trouble for the Black Business Coalition, there is no disgust between the words, and in order to eliminate the negative impact we have had as quickly as possible, he is willing to choose not to be suspicious. Likewise, he rarely takes into account the effects of friendship when dealing with one thing, so it is impossible that he and Raymond have not done anything sorry for each other in all these years, all we have to do is find them. ”

“You want to separate Malcolm from Raymond and start a conflict between them? ”

“It is difficult to break it from the outside against such a huge group of black merchants, but, as I said before, they are not a piece of iron. Once relations between Raymond and Malcolm deteriorate, the black merchants' union loses the stability on which it is based, but it is not enough that, in addition to creating internal chaos, we must remain sufficiently aggressive on the outside to accelerate its breakdown. ”

Zhang Hengdao, "When Karina gets back to the island, I'll talk to her about this, but the most important thing right now is how to differentiate Raymond from Malcolm. ”

Billy thought, "What you're talking about, if it really exists, is definitely an absolute secret for both of us, and I'm afraid it's hard for outsiders to hear it, or are we just trying to make a conflict between them? ”

“It's also a solution, but I don't want to have to. Raymond and Malcolm are very smart people, and if they make things easy to see at first glance, they can be awkward. ”
