Chapter 185 Let's Make an Offer
Seven days had passed since Malcolm's warning. Although Karina appeared relaxed in front of other people, she was actually a little uneasy in her heart. However, nothing happened in the next few days.
There was still a long queue in front of the second-hand goods trading office. The captains who cooperated with Karina in private were not warned by the Black Merchants Alliance. What the businessman said before, Malcolm didn't want to really deal with this matter, pushing them to the opposite of the black business alliance.
So people began to secretly visit Karina again.
However, just when everything was about to get better, there was sudden bad news.
Karina woke up from the dream, she didn't even have time to get dressed, she just put on a pajamas and ran to the pier barefoot, but it was already late at night, but there were many people around the beach.
Honig, who was in charge of island defense, also brought people to the scene, and was confronting a group of people.
However, everyone's eyes were mostly focused on the two sailing ships at the port. These two three-masted sailing ships had never been seen on the island before. The hull, the black gun barrel, and the black flag flying on the mast all prove their identities.
This is a new group of pirates, and they are powerful.
It is not that there are no new pirates docking in Nassau before, or that more and more pirates will choose to come here to resupply since Nassau became famous. It stands to reason that the residents of Nassau are no longer surprised by this.
But this time the situation is quite special, because this group of guys are extraordinarily arrogant, and they fired two shots before entering the port. Fortunately, their two shots were only aimed at the deserted beach, but even so, many people were shocked. Out of a cold sweat.
Honig frowned, "Which of you is the captain?"
A man with a mermaid tattooed on his arm was instructing two of his men to plant wooden sticks on the beach, and he came out from the crowd upon hearing this.
"What's the name?"
"Captain Wilton, just call me Wilton, but I heard that those merchants who have been robbed by me prefer to call me Wilton the Executioner." The pirates behind him immediately raised their muskets.
Wilton smiled, took out another apple from his pocket, and peeled it with a knife.
Honig's expression remained unchanged, and he said calmly, "The executioner? I haven't heard of it."
Wilton bit the apple, "I don't blame you, because I have never left anyone alive during a robbery. People who know this name are basically dead."
He said this cruel thing in a nonchalant tone, and there was a hint of enjoyment in his eyes, even the pirates on the beach who had experienced fighting all the year round couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts.
As the elder of Nassau, Honig, the captain who was named after Blackbeard and Black Prince, would not be frightened by a few words, and snorted coldly, "I don't care who you are or where you come from. Just fire a cannonball here, and I can guarantee that your story will end here."
To everyone's surprise, Wilton was polite this time, put down the knife in his hand and said, "We don't know the rules here when we first came to your land, so I would like to apologize if I offend you. I always hear people talk about the legends about this place, we just want to see this place known as the hometown of pirates."
Seeing that the other party softened Honig's expression, he waved his hand and asked the people behind him to put away their guns. "Nassau is a free and open place. As long as you don't cause trouble, you will naturally be welcome here."
After finishing speaking, he was about to leave, but unexpectedly, a voice came from behind him, "Captain Honig, I remember that there seems to be a rule on the island that pirates here cannot attack the transport ships of black market merchants."
It was Karina who spoke, with an anxious look on her face, because the Breeze, which was supposed to be in North Carolina, was now docked at the port of Nassau, between the two new pirate ships, and she ran to inform Her people told her that the Breeze had returned with the two pirate ships.
There is only one possibility for this to happen, and that is that the Breeze has been hijacked. This is why Karina is so anxious. The cargo on the ship is still in the second place. What she is most worried about is the safety of Malone and other crew members. .
Hearing this, Honig stopped in his tracks. He also noticed the Breeze beside him, and asked Wilton, "You robbed her ship?"
The latter shrugged, "We are pirates, isn't it natural to rob merchant ships?"
Honig glanced at the businesswoman again, "You'd better return the boat to her."
"if not?"
"Otherwise, I'm afraid you won't be able to sell the spoils to her anymore."
Wilton smiled, "Thank you for your reminder, I think we will have a way to solve this problem."
Honig didn't say anything more, Karina stared wide-eyed, stopped Honig who was about to leave again, and asked in disbelief, "Is that all?"
The latter raised his eyebrows, "Haven't you black market merchants already established a black merchant alliance? Now this kind of thing is up to you to solve it yourself, and strictly speaking, they are not considered to have violated the island's regulations, because they robbed You were not a pirate on the island."
After finishing speaking, he pulled out the sleeve that was held by the businesswoman, "Sorry, I am only responsible for the overall security of the island, and this matter is not under my jurisdiction."
Looking at the back of Honig leaving, Karina showed a look of helplessness on her face. She looked at the crowd watching the excitement around. Many of them had sold things to her at the second-hand goods exchange, but Looking at her now, she seems to turn her head silently.
Wilton and his group are not easy to mess with at first glance. Although there will be no channel for exchanging money in the future without the second-hand goods trading office, it is still better than being forced to die.
Karina looked around, but she didn't expect that it was Wilton who spoke first. He pointed to the Breeze not far away and said with a smile, "Is that ship yours?"
The businesswoman turned her head and said angrily, "Malcolm, the vice president of the majestic Black Merchants Alliance, would only use such indecent methods to deal with me. I warn you, if anything happens to the people on that ship, I will I swear to take you all..."
Before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by Wilton, "I don't know about the black business alliance, and I don't care about the grievances between you, but it seems that you are indeed the owner of that ship. I'm going to talk to you about a deal."
Karina laughed back angrily, "You robbed my transport ship and still want to do business with me?"
"Why not?" Wilton scratched his neck, "You always have to exchange the spoils for money, and I have a batch of special products here, and you should be the only one who will pay for them."
He clapped his hands, and a few pirates behind him rowed back to the ship, and after a while, they brought four more people over. Karina recognized that the four were all crew members of the Breeze, and they were tied hands and feet, but seeing They were safe and sound, and the businesswoman breathed a sigh of relief, but what Wilton said next made her tremble with anger.
"Ah, the goods are here, let's make a price."
