Chapter 203 Opportunity

"You promised me nothing would happen this time." Malcolm said.

Frasier hung his cloak on a hanger and shrugged.

"If I remember correctly, our previous agreement was to sink the cargo ship, kill everyone on it except the insiders, and then turn around and leave quietly."

"That's right."

"Then tell me what happened on the beach four days ago. Why did the Breeze and its crew come back to Nassau? That guy named Wilton used them to threaten Karina again. ?”

"I followed your request and found the most ferocious pirates outside the island, but on the other hand, I seem to have underestimated their ferocity." Fraser also had a look of helplessness on his face, "Things are out of control, that one is called The guy from Wilton was more greedy than I thought. Not only did he take our deposit, but he also wanted to use the crew on the Breeze to make another profit. He didn't keep his agreement. I originally planned to go find him the next day, but when I arrived I heard about what happened next morning...but the good news is that we don't have to pay them the balance anymore." Fraser picked up the glass on the table.

Malcolm pointed to the brandy on the shelf nearby, "So after we spent so much effort, not only did we not get the results we wanted, but we sent her another transport ship? In addition, we also let the Jackdaw be on the island. In terms of fame alone, they have almost surpassed Black Prince Sam’s rebel group.”

Fraser walked over and poured half a glass for himself, "I am half his teacher, but I have never really seen through him. He is different from Blackbeard, but they have one thing in common. They are both very different." I knew what I was doing. When I heard that the Jackdaw had returned to Hong Kong, I had bad thoughts in my mind. I should have warned Wilton in advance. I just didn't expect him to do it so quickly, but thinking about it afterwards, it was true. It’s the best opportunity to take action.”

The old pirate took a sip of brandy, "And I just got some bad news."

"Um?"

"Black Prince Sam is uniting with several captains who have parliamentary seats on the island and plans to elect Zhang Heng to the island's parliament. With his strength and connections, he has easily collected seven seats, so Zhang Heng has already entered the parliament. It’s a done deal. Although I don’t want to admit it, the influence of him and his Jackdaw on the island is indeed growing. Are you still not going to consider my proposal?”

Malcolm glanced at Fraser, "I am a businessman, not Caesar. I came to this island to make money. Nassau has developed well in the past few years. The total volume of goods is increasing every year, but the quality is declining. , there are fewer and fewer top pirate forces. Blackbeard Teach disappeared after bombarding Charleston. Sam is the only top pirate on the island. The emergence of the Jackdaw can fill the gap in this area. Card Linna was able to survive on the island with only one pirate ship before, which shows how strong the Jackdaw's earning power is."

"The premise is that he is willing to cooperate with the Black Business Alliance."

Malcolm was noncommittal, "As long as we can cut off his channel for transporting goods out of the island, he will naturally have no choice but to turn around and cooperate with us. If you didn't make such a low-level mistake, he should be sitting at the negotiating table with us by now." Come forward."

Fraser drank the brandy in his hand, "Then what should we do now? Do you want me to find other people to rob her transport ship? But the insider has been exposed, and they will be more cautious in the future, trying to steal their ships again." The route is not easy, and now they have two ships in their hands. After killing one, there is still one left. I heard that other captains are already in private contact with Miss Karina to discuss long-term cooperation. Maybe, the island's view of her is also changing, and more and more people are beginning to believe that she is not just a passing visitor here."

"Let's let the robbery matter go for now. Although methods outside the rules are the simplest and most effective, they also bring many negative impacts. The Black Business Alliance has just been established not long ago, and I haven't been able to completely control it. There are many other voices in it. This kind of thing can never happen again, and if we can't solve it quickly, we need to find new ways."

Malcolm's expression remained unchanged, and he continued, "I just met her not long ago. I originally thought that she and her father were the same kind of people. I used this as the starting point for my previous arrangements, but later I discovered that I Her judgment was wrong. She has little in common with her father. On the contrary, she is very similar to me when I was young, but more ambitious and radical. I can probably guess what she is thinking at this moment."

"oh?"

"After she found out that Ma Long was bribed by me, her heart must be full of anger and unwillingness, but then these anger and unwillingness will turn into hunger, and she will want to defeat me more than ever. This hunger will bring Her extra motivation will also make it easier for her to take risks." Malcolm paused, "So, I will give her a chance next."

Fraser raised his eyebrows, "What chance?"

"The chance to beat me." Malcolm said calmly.

…………

The Jackdaw's repair time was very short this time, less than a week. The Breeze was unable to bring back any new clues from the port because it was robbed halfway. However, Black Prince Sam found Zhang Heng two days ago. Invite him to join you on a hunt.

"Spanish treasure ship?" Billy repeated to make sure he heard correctly. "Are you talking about a Spanish treasure ship? The kind with three decks carrying eighty cannons and more than two hundred fully armed sailors. Galenic galleons, not to mention that they usually sailed with frigates. As far as I know, only Peter Hein has ever successfully captured the treasure ship's cargo and successfully transported it back to his country, and he used It took an entire military fleet of FMD to do this."

"Really? I don't know this story, but I heard that when you and Blackbeard Teach were together, it only took more than a hundred men to seize the pride of the Royal Navy from more than 700 people on the opposite side. The Cabaret," Sam said.

"No matter who told you this, he certainly didn't say that we were in the right place at the right time. Orff's trick worked by chance. We finally rushed to the opposite deck. Captain Teach beat one to ten, and everyone burst into laughter. potential, but even so, if it weren’t for Zhang Heng’s last shot and their captain was greedy enough to fear death, we would still have fallen short.”

"So don't you want to experience this exciting feeling again?" Black Prince Sam blinked.
