Chapter 238 Eugene“s Secre

Carina was heartbroken as she looked at the black man’s horrendous condition. Unfortunately, there was nothing the three could do to help him. In this era, blacks were treated no differently than livestock. Even if Malcolm ordered all the black folk in his mansion to be killed, n.o.body would do anything about it. Besides, Wallace ordered his men to hide around the central plaza to see who would emerge to rescue Nadya.

In the end, they were forced to watch Nadya getting brutally whipped by the supervisor to the point where he fainted again. Despite his display of total dominance, Wallace wasn’t happy with the outcome. The moment he was told that Nadya was dealing with someone outside, he quickly planned this fracas to lure out the man behind all this. Unfortunately, the main character didn’t show up in the end. If he beat Nadia to death, his only clue would cease to exist.

Seeing that Nadya had stopped screaming, he was left with no other option but to stop the supervisor from whipping.

“Look for a doctor to treat his wounds. Let’s head back to the mansion,” said a dark-faced Wallace.

Since the scene was over, the crowd gathered at the central plaza slowly dispersed as well.

“What do you plan to do?” asked Zhang Heng.

“Though Nadya is not a warrior from my tribe, I can say that his willpower is stronger than most warriors. He will never betray us,” Laeli replied, his eyes redded by the horrendous barbarism inflicted upon his kind.

“This has nothing to do with loyalty. People rarely survive such continuous torture. Say he could withstand the agony this time. What about next time and the time after that? Sooner or later, Wallace will figure out a way to make him talk.”

“What should I do then?”

“It’s time for you to consider leaving this place. You have given us so much useful information all this time. It is enough for us to figure out how to deal with Malcolm. My earlier promise to you still holds ground. During my last voyage, I scouted some islands for you, and I managed to find a suitable one. There is a ready supply of drinking water and a thick forest on the island. It’s is a perfect hideaway for your tribe. And if you need weapons, I can give them to you. Don’t worry about your daily essentials. I’ll send you a batch as well.”

Zhang Heng paused for a while before continuing.

“Just as I said. My s.h.i.+p and men will be waiting for you at a designated location. I can’t get involved in your slave war. Otherwise, the plantations on the island will make an enemy out of me.”

“I can understand that. When I leave, I will ask Leah to bring all the letters you need and pa.s.s them to you.”

Once Zhang Heng was finished with Laeli, he looked for Carina to discuss Eugene. They quickly realized that it was going to be an uphill battle getting Eugene to work with them and stand up against Malcolm.

“Sounds easy enough to me. We just need to tie him up and give him a good beating,” grinned Anne.
