Chapter 238 Torture
"Let's put aside your father's imprisonment for the moment. Funding political opponents should bring some conflicts between Raymond and Malcolm. In addition, we can focus on investigating matters related to Normand."
"Normand, who is that?" Karina asked from the side.
"You know that the current Black Business Alliance is actually the second generation."
The businesswoman nodded, "I heard from my father that there was a black business alliance on the island three years ago, but it ended badly. It only existed for a short period of time and soon fell apart."
Zhang Heng nodded, "The president of the alliance at that time was Normand. We all know that Raymond is the oldest and richest black marketeer on the island. But in fact, when Normand was still there, , he is the most respected black marketeer on the island, so when the first generation of the Black Merchant Alliance was established, he was chosen as the president without any suspense, and Raymond was the vice president. However, later due to the operation of the Black Merchant Alliance, It was not good, Normand's reputation was also consumed, and more and more people were dissatisfied with him, so after the disintegration of the Black Merchant Alliance, he sadly left Nassau and died at home not long after."
"Is this thing related to Malcolm? He had only been on the island for a year at that time."
"At that time, he had already made a name for himself in Nassau, but it was incomparable with today. He participated in the formation of the Black Business Alliance, but always kept a low profile. But now it seems that he is not as honest as he appears." Zhang Heng handed Leah's notes to the businesswoman.
"Malcolm has secretly instigated many black marketeers to oppose Normand. Why, isn't he a staunch supporter of the Black Businessmen Alliance?" Karina asked doubtfully,
"He is a staunch supporter of the Black Business Alliance, but the premise is that the Black Business Alliance is decided by him. The time when Normand established the Black Business Alliance was a bit too early for Malcolm, and he only came to the island at that time. For one year, his status in the Black Business Alliance was limited. If the Black Business Alliance at that time could really gain a foothold on the island, it would not be a good thing for him. It would hinder his development, but he did very well. Covert, it’s someone else connected through another guy named Eugene.”
"Eugene? The information dealer on the island?"
Zhang Heng nodded, "He was also a black market businessman before, but after the disintegration of the Black Business Alliance, he changed his profession and became an intelligence dealer for some reason. We need to talk to him. Normand's reputation among black market businessmen was unparalleled back then. People can compare. Although he was later opposed by many people because of the Black Business Alliance, many people still respected him. Raymond and he have been close friends for many years. Raymond helped organize his funeral. If Eugene's ability to stand up and testify against Malcolm, coupled with the letters between the two, should have a greater impact on Malcolm than your father's imprisonment, especially considering the unfavorable situation facing the Black Business Alliance now. If this incident were to come out, it would be a fatal blow to Malcolm."
As soon as Zhang Heng finished speaking, someone suddenly rushed into the cellar. It was Kexi, the owner of the slaughterhouse, and he said to the black gladiator, "Oh no, something happened at the manor! You'd better go to the central square." "
A quarter of an hour later, Zhang Heng, Karina and Laeri, who had their faces covered tightly, all came to the central square, where many people had already gathered.
In the center of the square, a naked black man was tied to a wooden post.
There were whip marks all over his body, his skin had been ripped apart and he was dying. Wallace, the butler whom Zhang Heng and others had met before at Terrance Manor, stood aside and said leisurely.
"I will give you one last chance. Who is the person who contacted you outside? Who did he ask you to pass the message to? Tell me their name. Not only can I let you live, but I can also give you freedom. How? So, isn't this what you've always dreamed of? To be a free man."
The black man heard this and kept his mouth shut.
So the housekeeper waved his hand, and the supervisor next to him immediately waved his whip again and hit the black man hard. The latter let out a scream, and a large piece of flesh and blood on his back was directly rolled off by the whip, and he also continued Unable to bear the severe pain, he fainted.
Then the supervisor brought up a bucket of seawater and poured it on the black man's body. The latter immediately woke up from the pain, and his whole face was twisted together.
The housekeeper knelt down in front of him and sighed, "You always pray for us to be more merciful and more merciful. Now, I have shown you my kindness. You have my promise. So many people present can testify. , as long as you give me your name, I will let you leave immediately. Not only that, I can also help you call a doctor to treat your injuries. I can even help you buy a set of clothes so that you can leave in dignity. You I can't find a better deal than this, and all I want is two names, so give me those two damn names and let's end this farce."
The black man gasped when he heard this, but after a while he still didn't say a word.
The butler's eyes were full of disappointment, "This is why I always dislike you. You guys never think about others and always make the scene so ugly."
After saying that, he stood up and took two steps back. The supervisor behind him walked up again. The black man's breathing became more rapid, and there was a flash of fear in his eyes.
The black gladiators in the crowd on the other side also clenched their fists, looking angry, as if they wanted to rush over immediately.
But the next moment he was held down by a hand, and Zhang Heng said, "Calm down, they chose this location just to show you. If you rush out now, you will play into their hands... Is the person on the pillar the person who contacted you?"
Laeri nodded, trying hard to restrain the anger in his chest, "His name is Nadia, he is a helper in the kitchen. In the early morning, he will drive a carriage to the market with the cook to buy food. I usually go here too. I asked him to bring news to Leah."
"Then how did this news leak out?"
"Every time I meet with Nadia, I always carry the cook on my back, so it must be another helper. He is not from my tribe, but Nadia said that he has been dealt with. Although I try to choose Nadia alone. I met him when he was young, but many times the other helper was not too far away. The people who were released to work by Butler Wallace were more obedient, but he was still worried that someone would escape midway, so he never let the slaves We are too far away, but I have my face covered, so even if someone sees me, people who don’t know me very well won’t recognize me.”
