Chapter 167 Karina's Harvest

"How about it, is this information helpful to you?" Laeli asked.

Zhang Heng nodded, "What do you want?"

The black gladiator did not answer the question immediately, but continued, "Although I have left Terence Manor, there are still many people in my tribe there. You have to deal with Malcolm and know more about him. secret, I can help you contact them to assist you."

"You should also know that even if the Black Merchants Alliance is finally disbanded and Malcolm is kicked out of Nassau, it still won't change the fate of the others in that manor."

"So I decided to take it upon myself to change that."

Laeli looked resolute, and different people would react differently when faced with difficulties. Some people would give up on themselves and become desperate under the blow, while others would choose to embrace the suffering and endure its baptism. Ultimately being stronger, the black gladiators are clearly the latter.

After experiencing the successive deaths of his father and brother, the destruction of the tribe, and being branded as a slave, he lost an eye and nose bone in order to escape from the manor, and had to kill his best friend with his own hands. Not only did he not feel depressed, but gradually began to reveal the temperament of the chief.

This strong black man like a black bear has wisdom far beyond his appearance, "We can't get freedom in our hometown, we can't get freedom in those colonies, and we can't get freedom in this free city, so we can only leave here, I heard that there are quite a few uninhabited islands in this sea area, some of which are outside the normal shipping routes. The islands have fresh water and arable land. We can fish, hunt, and grow crops... It will be very difficult at first. It's tough, but in the end we'll survive and reproduce just like our ancestors did."

Zhang Hengdao, "I have a boat and manpower. I can help you find a place that meets your requirements when you go out to sea, and I can also drive you there afterwards, but the question is how did you escape from that manor? Although I sympathize with you Encountered, but it is impossible to directly attack Malcolm’s manor and release the black slaves, otherwise the big landowners on the island will be angered. The development focus of the Jackdaw is in Nassau, and many of the crew’s family members are also on the island. I must consider them, I hope you can understand, I can only wait for you at the appointed time and on the agreed coast."

Laeli was obviously aware of this too. The black gladiator did not make excessive demands, but said, "We can solve this problem ourselves, but I need a batch of weapons, not too many, but they should be small in size, easy to carry and For hiding, a dagger is enough, besides that, I need at least five short muskets, don’t worry about these things, you can give them to me after your troubles are resolved.”

"There is no problem with the weapon. I am willing to accept your cooperation proposal, and I hope that you will finally get what you want." Zhang Heng stretched out his hand first after speaking.

Laeli was a little surprised when he saw this. This was the first time someone outside his tribe made such a move towards him since he left his hometown, which meant that the oriental man in front of him didn't regard him as a cargo or a beast like other people , but regard him as an existence of equal communication.

The black gladiator was stunned for about half a second, then he stretched out his palm and held the opposite hand. At this moment, the two of them also heard footsteps coming from downstairs. Annie and the doctor had already walked to the gate .

Zhang Heng stood up and said, "Take care of your injuries these days and take a good rest. Another partner of mine will be back soon, and I will trouble you to tell her what you heard before."

Karina returned to Nassau a week later. She took the cargo of nutmeg to New York. Therefore, no one made it difficult for her, and the goods were released without any inspection, but it took her a lot of time to find a buyer.

There is not much demand for spices in New York. Although this ship is valuable, it can only be sold if it is sent back to Europe. There are many merchants who are interested in shipping, but Karina can't feel the price. Satisfied, the latter had no choice but to continue looking for a buyer. It was not until ten days later that a merchant who specialized in selling ingredients came to hear the news. After half a day of bargaining, the two parties finally settled on a price that was satisfactory to both parties.

Karina got her first pot of gold after becoming a black market trader. After deducting the purchase fee paid to the Jackdaw, as well as the interest on the mortgage and the transportation fee, she made a net profit of about 500 gold coins during this trip. Such a generous reward made the businesswoman very excited, and it also made her see the hope of collecting the ransom to redeem her father from prison. It's a pity that such valuable prey are not common, otherwise she would be able to let him go in two years. Father was seen again.

Karina sent one hundred of the gold coins to her mother as a turnover. Recently, her father's family's savings were basically used up in order to save her father's family. With this money, she can take a breather.

There are 400 gold coins left, part of which will be used as a donation to continue to maintain the personal connections of the various ports, and the remaining part will be used as the principal for the next purchase, which can reduce part of the interest.

After finishing the tasks at hand, the businesswoman did not give herself a vacation, but rushed back to Nassau immediately.

What Karina is most worried about now is what will happen to the partnership between the Jackdaw and her during her absence on the island. If it is not the first sale of stolen goods, it is also important. She doesn't even want to leave to get the *** *It’s not that the businessman has never thought that the cooperation between Zhang Heng and her is just to put pressure on the Black Merchants Alliance, and kick her away when she takes the initiative in the negotiation, but now she doesn’t have any capital to ask the Jackdaw to be equal Even if she knew that the other party planned to do this, she could only cooperate, because at least she could make a fortune by doing so.

But Karina doesn't know why, she always seems to have an inexplicable expectation for that person, perhaps because she always easily ignores the identity of the other person when they are alone, Zhang Heng and what she saw All the pirates she had ever experienced were different, and she subconsciously felt that that person's words might not be so dishonest.

And when she returned to Nassau, she finally breathed a sigh of relief. At least there was no bad news during this period. The ship is regarded as a flag against the Black Merchants Alliance.

But when she found Zhang Heng, she got some unbelievable news.
