Chapter 251 Riot

Malcolm had not gone to bed on time for a long time. After realizing that the person who attacked him was Raymond, Malcolm reacted very quickly and almost immediately began to arrange a counterattack. In fact, for Malcolm, it was the most The difficult part is not how to remove Raymond, but how to maintain the stability of the Black Merchant Alliance after removing Raymond.

In the eyes of others, the Black Business Alliance was a behemoth when it was first born, but as one of the founders, Malcolm knew very well how fragile it was internally, and no matter how perfect and reasonable the system was, it could not resolve all disputes, and this was Raymond reputation can play a role.

Black market merchants also have their own circles and factions, many of which are antagonistic to each other. When it comes to balancing their power and easing their conflicts, Malcolm, who has only been on the island for a few short years, is naturally not as good as the one who takes advantage of him. Shame on Raymond's for running it for so long.

This is also the reason why although the actual leader of the Black Business Alliance is Malcolm, the position of president must be filled by Raymond. As long as Malcolm is given another two to three years, he can completely By kicking Raymond away, even if it is only for a year, he is sure to be able to absorb most of the losses caused by losing Raymond.

It would indeed be much earlier than he expected to fall out now.

However, at this point, there is almost no possibility of relaxation between the two. Raymond must also know very well that the longer it takes, the worse it will be for him. In addition, Karina, Malcolm's "rival", suddenly appears. , it was not a too surprising choice for him to do it quietly at this time, but after all, he still did not hide it from Malcolm. What the latter now has to think about is how to drive Raymond out of Nassau and at the same time solve this case. The impact of the incident is minimized.

Malcolm listed the names of all the more prestigious black market merchants on the island, thinking about the candidates to replace Raymond, and did not return to the bedroom until late at night to change and sleep.

As a result, he was woken up not long after he closed his eyes. There were running footsteps everywhere outside the door, and there were people shouting loudly. This kind of thing should be strictly prohibited. Malcolm sat up from the bed, and this There was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

Butler Wallace heard this and hurriedly opened the door.

"What's going on outside, so noisy?" Malcolm frowned while putting on his clothes.

"The slaves rioted and set fire to the barn, the firewood house, and a cotton warehouse."

"how many people?"

"We can't make statistics for the time being, but it seems that more than half of the people were involved. They also had weapons in their hands. In addition to the stones picked up on the ground and the knives in the kitchen, they also seemed to have daggers and muskets." Wallace paused, "But the number is very small. There are only two or three muskets at most. I have dispatched another team of people to protect you. I have also sent people to several other nearby plantations for help. Wait. It will be safe if they send someone here.”

Malcolm had already put on his clothes and climbed on his boots at this time. He came to the balcony and saw the fire not far away, and there seemed to be fighting somewhere else.

As Wallace said, there are a lot of people on the black slave side, but the equipment on the guard side is obviously better. With fewer enemies, they will not fall behind. At the same time, as the battle progresses, the supervisors in the manor also Join the fight.

There is no problem in holding on until reinforcements arrive. Managing black slaves has always been a headache. Several nearby plantation owners are angry and will not sit idly by when encountering such a situation, so Malcolm He didn't care about the success or failure of this battle, and he didn't pay much attention to the losses mentioned by the butler Wallace on the other side.

The question that Malcolm is thinking about now is whether this happening at this point has something to do with Raymond.

If so, what is the meaning of the other party's actions, and what is the reason for inciting these black slaves to cooperate with him.

It is not that black slaves have never escaped from Terrance Manor in the past, but most of them were a small number of people, and small-scale escapes rarely caused such a big disturbance.

In addition to the fact that there are too many people, it is easy to leak secrets, and because the target is too big, it is easy to be caught. Even if you can escape from the manor, you have nowhere to hide. The other thing is how those weapons flowed into the manor.

However, these issues can only be slowly investigated after the riot is calmed down. What is certain now is that Daisy is obviously not the only one in the manor.

Soon, new news came that the rioting black slaves were moving towards the stables.

The guard over there was relatively weak and could no longer withstand it. If the frightened horses were released by the black slaves, the situation would become even more chaotic. Therefore, after getting permission from Malcolm, Butler Wallace immediately led the People go there to support.

However, when he was halfway there, he suddenly stopped. Wallace discovered that the places where the accident occurred were in three different directions, except that the other direction had been relatively quiet tonight.

In addition to the cotton garden there, the torture chamber was also located there.

"What cunning little things." Butler Wallace muttered as he filled the gun chamber with gunpowder. He decisively changed direction and led the people towards the torture chamber.

From a distance, I saw the body of an overseer lying outside the door. There were several table knives stuck in his back. On the other side, a male black man was walking out of the door carrying Nadia on his back. Hua Hua Upon seeing this, Laish pulled the trigger without hesitation, but in the end the shot only hit a barrel next to him.

The male black man was startled by the shot and sat down on the ground. Nadia behind him also fell out. At this time, other guards also fired. The male black man ignored Nadia and rolled away. The one who climbed with him fled back to the torture chamber.

Leah also heard the gunshot at this time, and she followed the male black man, while Laura was carrying Daisy at the back. In addition, there were four black maids and two male black men growing cotton.

One of the male black men and two black maids died in the previous battle with the overseer, and the remaining black maid was slightly injured.

This is all the fighting power on their side. On the other hand, Butler Wallace has five guards besides himself, four of whom have guns in their hands.

They approached the execution room and soon arrived outside the door. Just when they were about to force a breakthrough, they heard a gunshot. The guard running at the front was hit by a bullet in the head and fell down. Go down.

This incident also made others become more cautious, but what they didn't know was that Leah only had this short musket in her hand, and after firing this shot, there was only the last bullet left.
