Chapter 247 The Real Enemy

After Zhang Heng and Karina left Hyman Manor, they deduced and perfected the next steps after getting the letter with Billy and others, including cooperating with Eugene to quickly spread the news within the Black Business Alliance and obtain the island. Wider support and so on, and Raymond's attitude will undoubtedly be crucial in this.

As the nominal president of the Black Business Alliance, the latter is also the most prestigious black marketeer. His every move has a very important impact on other black marketeers.

However, it is not easy to convince Raymond to make up his mind to deal with Malcolm. After all, the former is old and it is difficult to engage in management work. Without Malcolm, the Black Business Alliance will most likely not be able to operate.

But the good news is that unlike Malcolm, Raymond doesn't have that big ambition, and he himself has never been so hostile to Karina and the latter's second-hand goods trading office. Zhang Heng and the others have two trump cards. One is the friendship between Raymond and Normand. Almost all of Nassau knows that when Normand was in the most difficult time, only Raymond in the Black Business Alliance still supported him. He, in this context, it was difficult for Raymond to sit idly by when Malcolm's original frame-up of Normand was revealed.

Another card is that Malcolm secretly funded his son-in-law's political opponents behind Raymond's back. In addition, the two have had disputes before, so there is still a high degree of confidence that they can win over Raymond.

…………

By the time the discussion was over, it was almost daybreak.

Karina returned to her place, washed briefly, and prepared to take a nap to regain some energy. However, not long after she lay down, a carriage appeared outside her door.

Someone knocked on her door, and then the businesswoman heard the quarrel coming from downstairs. Karina could only put on her clothes again and walked downstairs.

She saw the two newly hired guards she hired a month ago pulling out the short muskets on their waists and confronting the people outside the door, as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

"Your people don't seem to welcome me very much." The visitor said, taking off the black gloves on his hands.

Karina's face changed suddenly when she saw the person outside the door, "How dare you show up here after doing so many things to me? I should have ordered them to shoot."

"Then why don't you give the order?"

The businesswoman was silent.

"It seems that your mind is still clear. You know that you can't stay on the island any longer if you kill me. That's good. I like to deal with rational people." The visitor said calmly, "Since you don't want to let If they shoot, should they invite me in next?”

Karina didn't like this feeling very much. Just like the last time she was in the cafe, her aura was completely suppressed by the other party. Malcolm had absolute initiative, and it was difficult for her to refute anything he said.

It stands to reason that at this point there is nothing left to say between the two, and the winner will be decided after tonight, but Karina herself doesn't know why, and finally gives way.

Malcolm walked into the house with a calm expression, as natural as returning to his own residence, while Karina's two guards followed him closely. The businesswoman hesitated, and finally let them Went out first.

At this point, only Karina and Malcolm were left in the room.

The latter pulled out a chair, sat down, and said bluntly, "I propose a truce between us."

"Why, because you can't hold it any longer?" the businesswoman sneered.

Malcolm unexpectedly had no objection, "I did make a lot of mistakes. I thought of two outcomes when Sam and his friends went to sea. First, they succeeded and shared the five thousand pounds of gold. Second, they failed to fight. If you pass the Spanish treasure ship, you can only retreat to Nassau. Neither method can solve the dilemma you are facing. But I did not expect that the Jackdaw could monopolize more than half of the gold. The appearance of the navy was unplanned. , but after learning the lessons from the previous few times, you shouldn’t really think that it was just these accidental events that caused me to lose this round.”

"Is not it?"

"If my plan is really strictly implemented, you won't be able to wait for the Jackdaw to come back." Malcolm said calmly.

"It turns out that the powerful people of the dignified Black Business Alliance only have such low-level means as scaring people."

"You have no idea who your real enemy is, do you?" Malcolm put his gloves on the dining table and leaned back on his chair.

"No, this is the only thing I have been sober from beginning to end." Karina sneered, "You let pirates rob my transport ship, let that bastard named Wilton humiliate and threaten me, and murder my crew. Place spies around me, let the Black Business Alliance block me, bully me for my lack of experience, and tempt me to over-expand..."

"These are normal business competition methods. Aren't you also poaching my captain and causing me trouble all the time? I thought you enjoyed this kind of thing."

"Enjoy?!" Karina laughed angrily, "You used despicable means to frame my father, put him in jail, ruined my family and life, and now you walked up to me and told me We are not enemies, this is simply the funniest joke I have ever heard in my life."

"I finally understand where your anger comes from." Malcolm raised his eyebrows, paused and then said again, "Then if I tell you about your father's imprisonment, I have nothing to do with you from the beginning to the end. If there is even the slightest relationship, what will you think in your heart?"

"Oh, Mr. Malcolm, as an opponent, I still had a little respect for you. Please don't let this little respect disappear."

"Unfortunately, I'm not telling a joke." Malcolm shook his head, "I respect your father very much, even though he and I have different positions. As an opponent, I will beat him mercilessly and drive him out of the country. It's cool, but I don't know how to use such methods. After his accident, I contacted the family immediately and asked them to investigate the matter. Unfortunately, it is difficult to find evidence for this kind of thing, so in the end I had to find a way. I asked someone from the family to contact Earl Slaughter, invited him to his home for dinner, and gave him two boxes of fine porcelain. At the cost of this, he finally spoke and asked him to frame your father. Who is the person?"

"who?"

"You won't believe it. He has always had a very good relationship with your father. No, he has a very good relationship with all the black market merchants on the island. Raymond is now the president of the Black Merchant Alliance. And this is not the first time he has done this. This kind of thing, I wonder if you have heard of the name Normand, he was once a close friend of Raymond, and the disintegration of the first generation of the Black Business Alliance is inseparable from Raymond."
