"Are we just going to let this go?" asked the helmsman of the Skeleton angrily.
"Let this go?" Wilton, who had been looking gloomy, stopped in his tracks and turned around. His eyes were filled with murderous intent. "I've been out at sea for 20 years, and no one has ever dared to talk to me like this. No one has ever threatened me in front of my face. No one has ever asked me to spit out what I've already eaten. No one has ever … If we just let this go, then no one in this city will respect us anymore. No one in this sea will ever fear us again."
Hearing this, the helmsman still had some misgivings. "But if we attack them, won't we be breaking the rules of the island? Didn't you say that there are many powerful people here? I think the ship that blocked our way tonight was the Black Prince's Quidah. I heard that they outnumber us, and they are all brave warriors. "" Don't get me wrong, Ross.
"Don't get your priorities wrong, Ross. Our base camp isn't here. We came here because someone contacted us and asked us to kill that woman. We won't be staying here for long anyway. I don't care what you do, just fix the ship as fast as you can. Once the Skeleton is fixed, we'll kill that guy and everyone he knows. We'll cut off their heads and throw them on the square in the center of the city. We'll let everyone on the island know the consequences of messing with me. After that, we'll set sail immediately and leave this place."
"Roger, captain."
… …
On the other hand, Carina looked at Zhang Heng excitedly. She did not expect him to return to Nassau at such a crucial time. Not only did he save the Gentle Breeze's crew, but he also managed to get her cargo ship and cargo back to her.
It was only then that Carina realized how important the Jackdaw was to her. Although she had been doing well during his absence, she had always been on edge. Now that he was back, she could finally put her worries to rest. She knew that no matter what happened, the man in front of her would always have a way to solve it.
Ever since she arrived on the island, she felt as if she had entered a pack of wolves. She had to maintain a high level of nervousness, forcing herself to maintain her tough side. This was the only way she wouldn't be treated as prey. She could only relax a little when she was with Zhang Heng. Even though they hadn't known each other for a long time, she didn't know why she trusted the man in front of her blindly.
The female merchant quickly walked up to Heng, her eyes filled with joy.
"Let's talk about it later. Send someone to help me keep an eye on that group of people. Inform me immediately if there's any movement," Zhang Heng said.
At the same time, Honegg had also returned to the beach with his men. He had just received Wilton's promise not long ago. He did not expect to hear the sound of cannons coming from the harbor so soon after he left. Honegg thought that Wilton had ignored his words, so he was immediately enraged. As he rushed over, he sent another man to the fortress to gather more men.
Halfway to the beach, he realized that the Skeleton was the victim. Honegg came to the beach, and when he saw Zhang Heng standing there, he frowned. "Was your ship firing just now?"
Zhang Heng nodded. "I don't think we violated any of the island's rules. We're just helping Miss Karina get back what belongs to her."
"You attacked a ship docked in the harbor without permission. I don't need to tell you how serious this problem is." Honegg said coldly, "If I don't punish you, all ships docked in the harbor will no longer be safe."
"We attacked a ship of unknown origin docked at the port, and this ship had robbed the black market merchants on the island before. Not to mention, they just bombarded Nassau a quarter of an hour ago. So, strictly speaking, we were just helping the island defend itself." Zhang Heng continued, "So, strictly speaking, we were just helping the island defend itself."
"Do you think I can't see the difference between the two?" Honegg sneered.
"In fact, we are indeed eliminating the security threats on the island." Black Prince Sam's voice could be heard from afar. He had just approached the shore on his boat. "Erm, this was actually my idea. I don't like those newcomers. They were a little too arrogant when they came to the island. So, Captain Zhang Heng and I decided to teach them a lesson. We want them to behave themselves from now on, so that they won't cause you trouble in the future."
"I'm just a little curious. Is there anything on the island that you're not involved in?" Honegg shifted his gaze to Black Prince Sam. "Why don't we swap jobs during the next meeting? You'll be responsible for guarding the fortress and maintaining order on the island, and I'll continue to be the captain. Speaking of which, I haven't been out to sea for six to seven years. I'm starting to miss life on the sea. Although the food isn't that great, at least I don't have to deal with this sh * t every day."
"I don't think anyone on this island can replace you. The people here respect you, Mr. Honegg. Your reputation is the only thing that can convince them," Black Prince Sam said with sincerity.
"I doubt what you said." Honegg snorted and looked at Zhang Heng. However, for the sake of Black Prince Sam, he did not pursue the matter. Before he left, however, he warned Zhang Heng again, "I don't care about the conflict between you and the black-market alliance. I just hope that both of you can exercise restraint and solve the problem within the rules. I don't want to see something like this happen again."
Zhang Heng nodded and watched Honegg leave the beach.
Black Prince Sam seemed to want to say something, but Zhang Heng spoke up first. "Leave the rest to me. The Quidah has helped us a lot. If this goes on, I'm afraid it will affect the relationship between you and the black-market alliance."
Black Prince Sam shrugged. "Our cooperation is limited to the trade of spoils of war. I don't work for Malcolm. However, it seems like you already have a plan. In that case, I won't disturb you anymore. If you run into any trouble in the future, you can look for me. My men know where I am."
Zhang Heng thanked Black Prince Sam. After Black Prince Sam left, Zhang Heng and Anne split up. Late at night, they visited an old friend, the island's weapons merchant, Barr.
Half an hour later, Zhang Heng had purchased all the items he needed. Karina then arranged for the most reliable men to deliver them to a rocky beach not far from the dock. An hour later, Anne arrived with 40 Jackdaw's crew members.
