48 Hours a Day

Chapter 251: Riot

Malcolm hasn't slept on time in a long time. After realizing that he was the one who attacked Raymond, Malcolm reacted quickly and almost immediately began to set up a counterattack. In fact, the hardest part for Malcolm was not how to remove Raymond, but how to maintain the stability of the Black Business Coalition after removing Raymond.

In the eyes of others, the Black Business Coalition was huge at the beginning, but Malcolm, one of its founders, knew how fragile its interior was and how perfect and rational systems could not resolve all disputes, and that was what Raymond's reputation could do.

The black market businessmen also have their own circles and factions, many of which are opposed to each other, balancing their power and easing their contradictions. Malcolm, just a few short years on the island, is naturally no better than Raymond, who has been operating in Nassau for so long.

That is also why, while Malcolm is now the actual owner of the Black Business Union, the chairman must be seated by Raymond, who can kick Raymond out completely, even if only for a year, with confidence that he can absorb most of the damage caused by the loss of Raymond, as long as Malcolm is given two to three years.

It is true that flipping his face now is much earlier than he expected.

At this point, however, there is almost no possibility of easing between the two, and Raymond must be clear that the longer the delay is detrimental to him, coupled with the sudden appearance of Karina, Malcolm's “rival", it is not too unexpected for him to move quietly at this time, but after all he has not hidden Malcolm, who now has to think about how to get Raymond out of Nassau while minimizing the impact of the incident.

Malcolm listed the island's currently more prestigious black market businessmen, thinking about replacing Raymond, and didn't go back to his bedroom to sleep until late at night.

As a result, he woke up shortly after he closed his eyes. There were footsteps everywhere outside the door, and people were drinking loudly. Such things were supposed to be strictly forbidden. Malcolm sat up from the bed and knocked.

“Come in. ”

Housekeeper Wallace hurriedly opened the door.

“What's going on out there, so loud?” Malcolm frowned wearing his clothes.

“There was a black slave riot, which lit barns, firewood houses, and a warehouse with cotton. ”

“How many? ”

“For the time being, it doesn't count, but it looks like more than half the people are involved, and they have weapons in their hands, besides stones picked up on the ground, knives in the kitchen, and so on, and daggers and guns.” Walleston, "but the number is very small. If you have a gun, it will be two or three. I have reassigned another team to protect you. I have also sent someone to several other plantations nearby for help, and they will be safe when they send someone. ”

Malcolm was dressed by then, climbing on his boots, and he came to the balcony and saw the fire not far away, and there seemed to be other places at war.

As Wallace said, there are many people on the Black Slave side, but the escort is clearly better equipped, with fewer enemies and less wind, while the manor of the estate joins the battle as the battle progresses.

There's nothing wrong with staying this way until reinforcements arrive. Managing the black slaves has always been a headache. Several planters in the vicinity are breathing through the air, and this situation won't be ignored. So Malcolm is not concerned about the success or failure of this battle, and Wallace, the butler on the other side, is not paying much attention to the loss or anything he is talking about.

The question Malcolm is thinking about right now is if something like this could happen at this point in time and not be related to Raymond.

If so, what is the point of the other party's doing so, and on what grounds are these slaves incited to cooperate with him?

In the past, there had been no escape of black slaves from Terrence Manor, but the vast majority of them were minors, small-scale runaways, and so little movement had been made.

Apart from the fact that it is easy to leak secrets because there are too many people, and because the targets are too big to be caught easily, there is nowhere to hide even if you can escape from the estate, and that is how those weapons are flowing into the estate.

But all of these questions will have to wait for the riot to subside before it can be investigated, and it is now certain that Daisy is not the only one on the estate.

Soon, new news came, and those rioting niggers were moving towards the stables.

The guards over there were weak and could hardly hold up. If the black slaves released the horses in shock, the situation would be even more chaotic, so with Malcolm's permission, housekeeper Wallace immediately took someone there to support him.

But when he was halfway there, he suddenly stopped, and Wallace found that a few of the places that had happened were in three different directions, the only one that had been quiet tonight.

In addition to the cotton gardens, the cells are located there.

“What a sly little thing.” Housekeeper Wallace muttered as he filled the chamber with gunpowder, decisively changing direction and leading people to the cell.

Far away, a corpse of a supervisor was seen lying outside the door with several knives stuck in his back, while a black man on the other side was walking out the door carrying Nadia, and Wallace did not hesitate to pull the trigger, but the gun eventually hit only one barrel next to him.

Male blacks were shocked by the gun, sitting on the floor with their asses and Nadia behind them falling out. At that time, other guards opened fire. Male blacks ignored Nadia beside them and even rolled up and ran back to the cell.

Leah also heard gunshots, and she followed the male black, while Laura was behind Daisy's back, in addition to four black maids and two male black cotton breeds.

One male black man and two black waitresses died in the previous battle with the guards, while the other black waitress was slightly injured.

That's all the fighting power on their side, opposite housekeeper Wallace's side, with five guards besides himself, four of whom had guns in their hands.

They approached this side of the cell and quickly arrived outside the door. As they were about to break through, a gunshot was fired from the front, and a bullet was placed in the front guard's head and directly fell down.

This made others much more cautious, but what they didn't know was that Leah had only one short gun in her hand and that there was only one last bullet left after she fired it.
