Chapter 239 Eugene’s Secret

Looking at the miserable condition of the black people on the pillar, Karina also had a look of unbearability on her face, but none of the three could do anything at this time.

There was no difference between black slaves and domestic animals in this era. Even if Malcolm ordered all the black people in the manor to be executed overnight, outsiders could not say anything, not to mention that he must have arranged other people near the square. , waiting for someone to rush out.

Therefore, the last three people could only watch helplessly as the black man tied to the pillar was whipped until he made no sound.

Butler Wallace was not very satisfied with the result. He arranged this good show after someone reported that Nadia was colluding with others. However, after waiting for so long, the real protagonist did not appear, and he could not really put it into effect. Nadia must be killed, otherwise the only clue will be lost.

Seeing that the latter had lost his voice, he reluctantly stopped the supervisor from continuing to beat him, and said with a sullen face, "Find him a doctor to bandage him, and let's go back to the manor."

Seeing that there was no excitement to be seen, people in the square dispersed. Zhang Heng asked Laeri, "What are you going to do?"

"Although Nadia is not a warrior in the tribe, his willpower is stronger than many warriors. He will not betray us."

"This is not a matter of loyalty or not," Zhang Heng shook his head. "Few people can endure continuous torture. He may be able to survive this time, but next time, and the next time, Wallace will always have a way. Pry his mouth open."

"Then what should I do?"

"Maybe you should consider leaving. During this time, you have given us a lot of useful information, which is enough for us to deal with Malcolm. Our previous agreement is still valid. I have visited many islands at sea these few times and found A place suitable for you to live, far away from normal merchant ship routes. The island has fresh water and dense forests, which can provide you with a secluded living environment. I can also provide you with the weapons you want. In addition, I can also I’ll give you another batch of daily necessities.”

Zhang Heng paused, "But like I said, I can only let my people and ships wait for you at the agreed place. I can't get involved in your fight against the slave owners, otherwise we will have to fight with the island." All plantation landowners are enemies.”

Laeri nodded, "I can understand. When I leave, I will ask Leah to bring the letters you need."

After solving the black gladiator's matter, Zhang Heng and Karina can turn their attention back to the intelligence dealer Eugene, but it is not easy to get the latter to cooperate with them in accusing Malcolm. .

Annie was very direct and said, "It's easy. Just tie him up and give him a good beating."

"We cannot use violence this time, otherwise the credibility of his words will be reduced. We need him to stand up and tell the truth about that year, proving that Malcolm will put his own interests above the black business alliance. He He’s not a qualified leader… Anyway, let’s split up to find out his details first.”

Billy also joined the operation, and finally the four of them reunited at Zhang Heng's residence on the morning of the third day.

"I'll go first." The businesswoman said, "Eugene became an intelligence dealer shortly after the disintegration of the Black Business Alliance three years ago. He had previously gathered many people to compete viciously with Normand's Black Business Alliance, and he also started from the underworld. Several pirate ships were poached from the Merchant Alliance. In fact, judging from the situation at the time, the situation was not so bad that it was irreversible. After all, Normand had a high prestige and many people were willing to follow him. Until something happened later. Something.”

"whats the matter?"

"It was revealed that Normand had a secret agreement with two pirate ships. Normand used his power to help them obtain a higher acquisition price in the alliance, and in return, the two pirate ships were willing to share the extra income. Half of it was given to Normand. It was this incident that brought Normand into disrepute. But now it seems that this incident is actually quite suspicious, especially the captains of the two pirate ships are very familiar with Eugene. One of them We had a cooperative relationship with Eugene before.”

"Can we still find those two pirate ships?"

"I'm afraid not." Billy smiled bitterly, "I also checked here, but one of the two pirate ships went to sea and did not come back. It must have been sunk during the robbery, and the captain of the other one was voted out in a referendum. , he was stabbed to death in an altercation with someone in a tavern a year ago, and the crew of that ship has gone through several rounds of changes. In fact, it is useless to find the old crew members. Ordinary sailors can only know very little. "

"In short, because of this incident, the Black Business Alliance disintegrated, but Normand had many friends. After that, Eugene was not welcomed in this circle, so he was forced to change his profession and became an intelligence dealer. The contacts he accumulated at the customs were pretty good, but they were definitely not comparable to when he was a black marketeer. Now here comes the question. Why was Eugene willing to be shot by Malcolm when he obviously didn't get any benefits in the end? What about the envoy?"

"You mean Malcolm secretly compensated Eugene?" Billy asked.

"I think it's more likely that Eugene has something that fell into the hands of Malcolm." The businesswoman said, "I have studied Malcolm and he is very cautious in what he does. If he really instigated Eugene to frame No. Mander, it is impossible that there are no checks and balances on Eugene, otherwise people like Eugene can frame Normand for profit, and in turn can come back to bite him for profit."

"So now we have to find out what information Eugene has that fell into Malcolm's hands?" Billy asked.

"I may know the answer to this question."

No one expected that it would be Annie who spoke this time. The red-haired girl saw that everyone's eyes were focused on her and shrugged, "Why, you have your investigation channels, and I also have mine, Harry and several streets." The little ghosts are all very familiar with each other. Although they usually like to fight and kill, they can also come in handy when they need help. And because of their age, many people will ignore their existence, so they can often listen to There are many secrets that few people know-Eugene may also have an illegitimate child."

"Illegitimate child? How old is it and where is it?"

"It was the child he had with a prostitute when he first came to the island. It is said that after the prostitute became pregnant, Eugene took her out of the prostitute and bought them a house on the island, but then something happened there There was a fire, and Eugene escaped by himself, and the prostitute was burned to death. But miraculously, the child also survived, but because of this incident, his relationship with Eugene was very bad. When he was ten years old, And left Nassau alone.”
