Chapter 249 Tempted

After Malcolm left, Karina sat at the table for a full hour without taking a sip of water.

With her favorable living environment and good upbringing, Karina has never encountered any enemies in the strict sense since she was a child. The most serious thing was the jealousy between the little girls at the dance, and Malcolm was the most important person in her life. The first real "enemy" I encountered.

The former ruined her life and revealed the cruel truth of life in front of her little by little.

For the first time, Karina felt strong fear and hatred in a person. During her days on the island, she dreamed of defeating Malcolm and making him pay for what happened before.

However, when that day really came, when all the times were ripe, and she was about to achieve the final victory and enjoy the joy of revenge, Malcolm walked into her room majestically and looked into her eyes. Tell her that she has actually hated the wrong person all along.

Someone else was responsible for destroying her family and putting her father in jail.

Karina had thought that all of this was Malcolm's lie, a smoke bomb he released after being forced into a desperate situation to confuse her. However, somewhere deep in her heart, Karina I have to admit that Malcolm's analysis makes sense.

In fact, she herself has had an unreal feeling recently.

This time the operation seemed to go too smoothly. Although she had encountered a lot of troubles before and was even on the verge of bankruptcy, during her most difficult time, Malcolm and the Black Business Alliance never took much action. This was not in line with Malcolm's style of acting, and later they discovered that Eugene's process was also smooth. Although it took a lot of effort to convince the latter, Eugene's resistance to them was not as strong as they imagined.

Compared with the previous battles, Malcolm was indeed inferior this time, but if it was because of Raymond's secret interference, it would be explained.

But Karina found it difficult to accept it in her heart, as if she had been trekking towards a goal in the wilderness for a long time, and when she was about to reach the end, the goal suddenly disappeared.

However, the conditions offered by Malcolm were indeed very tempting. Not only could he acknowledge the existence of the second-hand goods trading office on behalf of the Black Business Alliance, but he was also willing to give her a series of preferential conditions. More importantly, he promised to help her get revenge and Her father is released from prison and now the two have a common enemy, and Karina doesn't have to worry about Malcolm going back on his word.

This made the businesswoman a little excited.

"Is this your escape plan?" Laura looked in disbelief. "We must first get rid of the two guards at the door, avoid the night watchers, and then sneak into the execution room, rescue Daisy and Nadia, and pray No one was alerted during this process, and then he avoided two groups of guards, came to the gate of the manor, killed a group of well-equipped guards in front of the gate, and finally ran all the way to the beach? With all due respect, this is not an escape at all. , but committed suicide.”

Leah tried her best to explain, "No, Laeri will eventually take us to deal with the group of guards in front of the gate, and he has also prepared a carriage to take us to the beach."

"But this still doesn't change the risks we faced before. You can't pray that the guards suddenly go blind, or that the guys in the torture room get drunk. We can't deal with so many with only two short muskets and eight daggers. People, we have to kill the two guards outside the door. I am willing to take the necessary risk, but after killing the guards we go directly to the door. You saw how those people treated the black slaves who were sent to the torture chamber. By the time the operation starts tomorrow night, Daisy has been in there for a day, and the guy named Nadia has been in there for more than twenty days. Even if we rescue them, they won't be able to walk again, and I don't want to Carrying two burdens while escaping."

"They are not burdensome, they are my companions," Leah insisted. "Without them, it would have been impossible for us to get in touch with people outside. If it weren't for Nadia and Daisy who persisted until now, we wouldn't be able to get in touch with people outside." It’s in there, so either we leave together or no one leaves.”

"Your stubbornness will kill us all!" Laura complained, "You are like a canary that has been raised in a cage by Malcolm for too long and has no idea how cruel the outside world is. "

"So this is still a personal grudge. What about you? Do you know?" Leah asked.

"Of course I know," Laura took off her coat and pointed to the dense scars on her chest, "At least I really escaped. Otherwise, how do you think these things came from?"

Leah was stunned for a while, then said again after a while, "I'm sorry, I never knew about this."

"Of course you wouldn't know, you weren't here yet." Laura put on her clothes again and said sincerely, "I have escaped myself, and I have seen many other people escape. I know better than anyone how dangerous it is to escape. You have to do everything you can to reduce the risk to have a chance of success. I know they are important to you, and I know you don't want to let them down, but sometimes you just need someone to make the tough decisions."

Leah was silent for a long time after hearing this, "I'm sorry, either we leave together or we don't leave at all."

Laura felt a deep sense of helplessness in her heart, and couldn't help but cursed, "Fuck! I'm so stupid, I shouldn't have intervened in this matter at all!"

"I can understand if you want to quit now. I will thank you no matter what. Without you, we can't get weapons, and we don't know how to connect with the outside world." Leah said politely.

"You still don't understand, do you?! I have no way out at all. If you fail and are caught, you will confess me sooner or later." Laura punched the shelf next to her with hatred, and then she took a deep breath He took a breath and tried to adjust his emotions, "Okay, you win, I give in, we can save your companions, but it's definitely not possible to just rush over."

"Then do you have any other good ideas?" Leah humbly asked for advice.

"It's impossible to break into the torture chamber without any movement at all. In this case, we simply make the movement louder. We can light the barn on the east side of the manor and the firewood storage room next to it. This way we can By luring the patrolling people away, we can also have time to go to the execution room to rescue people."

"But with our current manpower... we can't do this, right?" Leah asked doubtfully.

"That's right, so we have to convince more people to join." Laura said decisively.
