48 Hours a Day

Chapter 182: Sudden Storm

The storm came faster than anyone expected, and Prince Sam, fearing that he had just repaired the Hull, had stopped staying on the side of the Cold Raven, yet as soon as he got down to the boat, the rainfall had begun to fall from the sky, while the sea was also raging.

Strong lightning strokes through the shady tent, thundering like the end of the day.

It was obvious that the two boats were less than 30 meters apart, but Prince Sam's small boat was stunned for 10 minutes and fluctuated between the waves before approaching the Veda. One of the pirates was also swept away by the waves behind him as he climbed.

The pirates on the Veda were powerless to do so and could only watch their companions disappear into the waves.

It's impossible to get off the boat and save people in such bad weather.

Zhang Heng, on the other side, also did not return to the captain's quarters. He stood at the bow of the Cold Raven, while Billy was loudly commanding the crew to prepare for the storm.

Zhang Heng frowned, unlike Black Prince Sam, who may just think the weather was too sudden, but Zhang Heng and Roscoe not only learned to manipulate the wind sail, but the old pirate handed him the wind judgment and weather forecast he was good at.

Zhang Heng could not be as precise as Roscoe in terms of weather forecasting, but in a short period of time he could also judge the weather changes. The storm appeared too sudden and without signs. Just a moment ago, the sky was still clear and cloudless. According to the experience Roscoe taught him, the sea should be calm at least until tonight.

In just over ten minutes, however, the weather in this area changed dramatically. Zhang Heng had only encountered this once before, when the Clark ship appeared, but that time the wind wave was not so big, and now the sea was like a complete rage, one after the other, the giant wave slammed on the boat's side.

Zhang Heng grabbed the cable and stabilized his body. His other hand took off the copper binoculars he was carrying. He looked first at Sam, Prince Black, and the Veda was now a busy sight, but nothing happened for now, so Zhang Heng moved his gaze further away.

However, what was unexpected to him was that this time he had not seen the ghost ship from more than a hundred years ago on the sea. On the contrary, it was not long after that that terrible storm began to fade slowly, the waves became smaller and the raindrops became thinner, until five minutes later the sun came out of the clouds and the sea returned to calm, and the clouds that had previously covered his head disappeared.

In just over twenty minutes, even Annie, who had always had a big nerve, felt a little weird. After the rain stopped, she dumped the rain drops on her hair shake, and she said, “What is this, a prank? ”

Zhang Heng also had some confusion, but as a precaution, he arrived at the warehouse at the first time, checked the two cases of silverware again, and found nothing abnormal. He picked up the ring and necklace in the drawer, and was also not prompted systematically to obtain the props.

Coincidence?

Zhang Heng was also a little unsure about what Clark Zhang Heng felt he had missed, but now he has no other clue but to wait for Vincent to translate the three notes to see if he could get more information from them.

The sudden and brief storm was just a little insert on a long voyage for the vast majority of people, and soon the pirates on board shifted their attention to other things, such as who always sneaked out to the kitchen at night to steal bread, and where to be happy after this disembarkation.

And the Cold Raven was getting closer and closer to Nassau, but Zhang Heng did not know that there was a storm waiting for him on shore.

The second-hand goods trading office of the businesswoman Karina was on fire on the island for some time, the pirate network at the door was constantly interpreted, Karina also had a grand march that did not match her gender, and the visitors of the second-hand goods trading office refused, as long as it was not worthless, the businesswoman was willing to bid on the purchase and won a positive review among the small and medium-sized pirates.

Meanwhile, Captain Maroon said goodbye to his happy Buddhist time and became busy again. The Breeze began to travel between the ports of Nassau and the colony, replacing Karina's secret acquisition of loot from the island's pirates with a bag of gold coins, although most of that income was subsidized to the second-hand goods exchange, and because Karina had a high price, it was not ideal for profit, far less than when her father Figen was on the island.

But in any case, they're still profitable, at least not so much that when the Cold Crow goes out on the ocean, everyone is idle to get moldy.

However, it was not long before Karina was divulged through a second-hand cargo exchange with the pirate captains and spread throughout the island almost overnight.

The news of her father's colonial detention had also erupted, and it was no secret that what had happened a few months earlier had occurred among black market businessmen, and that some well-informed people on the island had already heard of it, yet suddenly it had begun to be propagated, and the malice behind it had become apparent.

Some of the captains who had previously traded with women merchants had lost their seats, they just wanted to make extra money, didn't want to tie Karina to a small boat that looked like it was going to sink, and they all insisted that it wasn't their own people who leaked the information, even doubted that Karina would let it out herself, after all, if they broke up with the black merchants' league because of this, the last person to profit was Karina.

Women traders had to go in and try to communicate with them personally to convince them that the Black Business Coalition was unlikely to actually comply with the sanctions set out in that statement, which amounted to pushing them towards her personally, but ultimately had little effect, with only two captains stating that they could continue trading if Karina could solve the leak.

Marlon shook his head, "This problem can't be solved. We've done enough on our side. We've got people in the warehouse. Even the sailors on the boat don't know what every trip is, so it can't be our side of the secret. Instead, the pirates, they talk so much, they say so well. Don't expect a group of pirates to keep any secrets, especially when they're drunk. ”

Karina shook her head, "Most of their pirates don't know they sold us the goods, it's just a bunch of hearts and minds doing it, and the rest of us just take the money, and the black merchants may hear something, but their investigation shouldn't be so fast. ”
