48 Hours a Day

“Well, is this intel helpful to you?” Laerido.

Zhang Heng nodded, “What do you want? ”

The black gladiator did not immediately answer the question, but went on to say, "Although I have left Terrence Estate, there are still a lot of people in my tribe there, you have to deal with Malcolm, know more about him, and I can help you reach out to them to assist you. ”

“You should also know that Malcolm's expulsion from Nassau will not change the fate of the rest of the estate, even after the eventual dissolution of the Black Business Union. ”

“So I decided to change it myself. ”

Laeri is resolute. Different people will react differently in the face of difficulties. Some will abandon themselves and become desperate under the attack, while others will choose to embrace those suffering, suffer its baptism and eventually become stronger. The black gladiator is clearly the latter.

After experiencing the successive deaths of his father and brother, the destruction of the tribe and the enslavement of himself, and having to kill his best friend himself in order to escape from the estate, Laeri gradually began to show the sheikh's temperament instead of being depressed.

This black man, who is as strong as a black bear, has the wisdom to go far beyond his appearance, “We cannot be free in our homeland, we cannot be free in those colonies, and we cannot be free in this free city, so we have to leave here. I heard that there are many uninhabited islands in this area, some of which have fresh water and arable land on the islands beyond normal routes, we can fish, we can hunt, we can grow crops… It will be difficult at first, but eventually we will survive, just like our ancestors did. ”

Zhang Hengdao, "I have boats and people, I can help you find a place to meet your requirements when you go out to sea, and then I can drive you there, but the question is how do you escape from the estate? I sympathize with what happened to you, but it is not possible to attack Malcolm's estate directly and release the slaves, otherwise it will provoke the landowners of the island, the development of the Cold Raven is centred on Nassau and the families of many of the crew on board are on the island, and I must think for them, I hope you understand that I can only wait for you at the agreed time and on the agreed coast. ”

Laerie is obviously also aware of this, and the Black gladiators did not make excessive demands, just saying, “We will solve this problem ourselves, but I need a bunch of weapons, not too much, but small size, easy to carry and hide, a dagger, in addition to which I need at least five short guns, these things don't have to be in a hurry, I can wait until your troubles are resolved. ”

“There is nothing wrong with the words of arms, and I am willing to accept your offer of cooperation and hope that you will finally be able to repay what you have hoped for.” Zhang Heng took the lead in reaching out.

It was a little unexpected that for the first time since his departure from his homeland, someone outside his tribe had done this to him, which meant that the Oriental at hand did not see him as a cargo or a beast, like others, but rather as an equal communicator.

The black gladiator stunned for about half a second, then extended his hand and held the other hand, while the two heard footsteps coming from downstairs, Annie and the doctor had come to the door.

Zhang Heng rose up and said, "Please take care of the injury and rest for a while these days. My other partner should be back soon. Please tell her again what you heard before. ”

…………

Karina returned to Nassau a week later, and she brought the boat to New York City, one of the best ports her father had ever operated, where customs had been beaten up and down, so no one had made it difficult for her, and even the cargo had not been inspected, so it was a pleasure to let her go, but it took her a lot of time to find a buyer.

The local demand for spices in New York is not great. This ship, although valuable, has to be sent back to Europe before it can strike. There is a lot of interest from those who do shipping, but the bid was not satisfactory to Karina. The latter had to continue looking for buyers. It was not until ten days later that a businessman specializing in the sale of foodstuffs came to the news. After half a day of bargaining, the two sides ended up dealing at a price that was satisfactory to each other.

Karina got her first barrel of gold after becoming a black market businessman, and she made about 500 gold coins net on this trip, in addition to the purchase fee paid to Cold Crow, as well as the interest on mortgages and transportation costs. The reward was very exciting for the businesswoman, and she saw the hope of getting the ransom and redeeming her father from prison. Unfortunately, a prey as valuable as this was not common, otherwise it would take less than two years for her father to see the sun again.

Karina sends a hundred of these coins to her mother for turnover, and in the recent past, savings to rescue her father's family have basically been spent, and she can breathe with the money.

The remaining four hundred gold coins, some as donations, continue to maintain connections across ports and the remainder as principal for the next acquisition, thus reducing some interest.

By the end of what was at hand, the businesswoman had not given herself a vacation, but had rushed back to Nassau in the first place.

Karina's biggest concern now is what happened to the Cold Crow and her partnership while she was not on the island, so if it wasn't for the first time, she wouldn't even want to leave to get * * * * * * The merchant didn't even think about the cooperation between Zhang Heng and her just to put pressure on the black merchants union, wait for the initiative to take over the negotiations and kick her off, but now she doesn't have any capital to ask Cold Crow to treat her equally, even if she knew they were going to do so, she would have to cooperate, because at least she could make a fortune.

But Karina also doesn't know why, she always seems to have an indescribable expectation of that person, perhaps because when the two of them are alone, she always easily ignores each other's identities. Zhang Heng is different from all the pirates she has seen. She subconsciously feels that the person's words may not be so discredited.

And when she returned to Nassau, she finally relieved herself, at least for some time there was no bad news, the Cold Crow was still at odds with the Black Business Coalition, and the small and medium-sized pirates on the island still saw the ship as a flag against the Black Business Coalition.

But when she found Zhang Heng, she got some incredible news.
