v2 Chapter 250: riot (1/2)
It's been a long time since Malcolm went to bed on time. After realizing that the person he was dealing with was Raymond, Malcolm's response was also very fast. He immediately started to arrange a counterattack. In fact, Malcolm was the most The hard part is not how to remove Raymond, but how to maintain the stability of the black business alliance after removing Raymond.
In the eyes of others, the Black Merchants Union was a behemoth at the beginning, but Malcolm, one of the founders, knew how fragile it was, and perfecting a reasonable system could not resolve all disputes, and this was Raymond. Your reputation can play a role.
Black market merchants also have their own circles and factions. Among them, there are some factions that oppose each other. In balancing their forces and alleviating their contradictions, Malcolm on the island only a few years is naturally inferior to taking Sao has been operating Raymond's for so long.
This is also why although the actual power of the Black Merchants Union is Malcolm, the position of chairman must be seated by Raymond. As long as Malcolm is given another two to three years, he can completely After kicking Raymond, even if only for a year, he is sure to be able to digest most of the losses caused by losing Raymond.
It's true that he turned his face much earlier than he expected.
However, at this step, there is almost no possibility of easing between the two. Raymond must also be very clear. The longer the time is, the more disadvantageous he is. In addition, there is a sudden appearance of Malina ’s ”rival”. It's not too surprising that he quietly moved his hands at this time, but after all, he still didn't hide Malcolm. The latter now has to think about how to drive Raymond out of Nassau and at the same time The impact of things is minimized.
Malcolm listed the names of the more prestigious black market merchants on the island, thinking about the candidate to replace Raymond, and returned to the bedroom to change clothes and sleep until late at night.
As a result, he was awakened shortly after closing his eyes. There were rushing footsteps everywhere, and some people were shouting loudly. This kind of thing should have been strictly forbidden. Malcolm sat up from the bed. There was a knock at the door.

”What's going on outside, so noisy?” Malcolm frowned as he dressed.
”There were black slave riots that lit the barn, the firewood house, and a cotton warehouse.”
”how many people?”
”It can't be counted for the time being, but it seems that more than half of the people are involved. They also have weapons in their hands. In addition to the stones found on the ground, the kitchen knife and the like, they seem to have daggers and muskets.” Wallace paused. ”But there are very few. If there are only two or three muskets, I have already dispatched another team to protect you. I also sent some people to ask for help from other plantations nearby, etc. They're safe to send someone over. ”
Malcolm was already dressed and boarded his boots at this time. He came to the balcony and saw the fire not far away, and there seemed to be another battle.
As Wallace said, there are a lot of people on the Black Slave side, but the equipment on the side of the guard is obviously better, so that there are fewer enemies and the wind does not fall. At the same time, as the battle progresses, the supervisors in the manor also Join the battle.
There is no problem in supporting the reinforcements in this way. The management of the slaves has always been a headache. Several nearby plantation owners have passed the gas. In this case, they will not ignore it, so Malcolm He didn't care about the success or failure of this battle, and the other housekeeper Wallace was talking about was losing nothing.
