"The reason why my father went to jail was because of Malcolm?" Karina opened her mouth wide and looked a little confused. It was the first time she heard the news. She was a little overwhelmed, and the man in front of her was blind in one eye and had a flat nose. The black man who went down and called himself a gladiator also made her feel a little uneasy.
"So far we have no definite evidence." Zhang Heng poured the businesswoman a glass of wine to calm her down a little.
"But the timing of your father's imprisonment is indeed a bit too coincidental. Raymond's suspicion is not unreasonable. Your father has obviously become an obstacle to the establishment of the Black Business Alliance. Malcolm is the biggest beneficiary of his elimination. Billy has been Familiar black market merchants on Tianzun Island also inquired about it. In fact, after your father was imprisoned, no one suspected that there was someone behind it. But in the end, Raymond came forward and endorsed Malcolm, and the matter was exposed. It's over, you should go see your father after this, did he say anything at that time?"
Karina recalled, "After the incident, we spent a lot of money to bribe the jailer, but the meeting was very short. My mother and sister spent most of the time, and there were only a few minutes left when I arrived. I planned to take over his business at that time, so we mainly talked about business matters. Although my father gave me his contacts and the remaining transport ship, he actually did not approve of my coming to Nassau. , and finally he told me that the most dangerous thing on the island was not pirates, and told me not to trust anyone easily."
The businesswoman paused, "Actually, Malcolm was pretty good to me when I first came to the island. Although he insisted that black market merchants who did not cooperate with the pirate ship could not join the black merchant alliance to participate in the share sharing, he also made it clear that it was impossible to persuade several other merchants to join the black merchant alliance. Several cooperative pirate ships that originally belonged to my father were returned to me, but at that time there were indeed several powerful pirate ships on the island that had not yet completed negotiations. Malcolm gave me the names of some captains and asked me to try to win over them.
However, because I was a woman and I had just arrived in Nassau and knew almost no one, I could not help them in the negotiations, nor did I have enough money to bribe the important people on the ship. In the end, I failed. But at that time, I I am indeed very grateful to Malcolm. He is one of the few people on the island who is willing to help me. If I were not really desperate, I would not want to go against his black business alliance. I never thought that my father would be in jail and I would fight with him. related. "
After Karina finished speaking, she sipped the wine in her hand, but her mood could not calm down. The businesswoman put down her wine glass and stood up, "No, I'm going to confront him and ask him to release my father."
"Are you going to just walk over and make him admit that he did this?" Zhang Heng said.
"If he doesn't release my father, then I will tell other people in the league about the good deeds he has done. Since he was able to attack my father before, he may attack others because of other things in the future. Do it." the businesswoman said.
"Doing this may indeed bring him a little trouble, but as I said before, we don't have enough evidence to prove that it was Malcolm who did this to your father, and..." Zhang Heng looked at the black man aside. Gladiator.
The latter added calmly, "And your only witness was born a slave. What's more, strictly speaking, I only heard the quarrel between Raymond and Malcolm."
"There is also bad news. Your presence has had a negative impact on the Black Business Alliance, and Malcolm is also preparing to take action against you." Zhang Heng said.
The businesswoman's face changed when she heard this. Since she had found the Jackdaw, she was mentally prepared for such a thing, but when it really happened, she still felt a huge pressure, especially after learning that her father had She was imprisoned because of her opposition to the Black Business Alliance. She didn't know what kind of ending was waiting for her.
But from the first day she landed on the island, she knew she had no way out. At first, she was just trying to raise the ransom to rescue her father from prison, but this time she made a fortune selling spices. After making money, Karina found that she gradually fell in love with what she was doing now.
This may sound a little crazy, because as early as a few months ago, she was still busy attending salons and balls with those ladies and ladies, enjoying the favorable living conditions created by her father, and had almost no idea about the cruel world outside. Nothing.
Until she came to Nassau and wanted to take over her father's business, she had been running into obstacles on the island during this time. She had experienced hardships that she had not experienced in the past twenty years. In order to join the Black Business Alliance, she gave up With her own reserve, she ran around, seeking help from her father's former friends, bargaining with pirates who she had regarded as barbarians in the past, trying to figure out the other party's thoughts and needs, trying every means to win their cooperation, and seizing every opportunity in front of her. Chance.
Something like breaking into a stranger's house alone late at night and introducing herself would never have happened to her in the past.
Karina herself was wondering why she hadn't collapsed until now.
She was like a flower growing in a greenhouse that suddenly left its comfortable environment and was ruthlessly abandoned in the wilderness. However, after enduring the raging wind and snow, she also got the opportunity to grow wildly.
This is a life that you can never experience in salons and balls. There are crises, betrayals, and challenges from all sides, but there is no boredom.
Karina could feel something boiling in her blood. This was something she had never experienced before in her life. If she had only held on to the idea that she could return to her old life until her father came back, how could she make money? The first pot of gold, after seeing that her hard work during this period was rewarded, she was no longer willing to return to the greenhouse.
Karina took a deep breath, "I will be prepared. No matter who the opponent is, I will not be easily defeated."
"I'm afraid this is not enough." Zhang Heng said, "Next, I hope you can be more active, and it is best to make the Black Business Alliance feel more pressure. At the same time, I will start with your father's affairs. Provoke a conflict between Malcolm and Raymond. But I must say that once you do this, your situation will become more dangerous. Although there is friction between us and the Black Business Alliance, it is not too serious. Seriously, if we really confront each other, we don’t rule out that Malcolm may use some means outside the rules to deal with you. We are now racing against time to see who can’t hold on first, you or Malcolm.”
"I actually have no other choice at all, right? In that case, I have nothing to worry about." Karina said without hesitation.
