Chapter 148: Calvin

~7 min read 1,320 words

Candy Plantation,

under the blue sky, Calvin, riding a horse, was talking with Zhang Cheng.

Looking at this cotton field before him, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but say, "Friend, what do you think about the matter I mentioned last time?"

"Sorry, Zhang, it's very hard for me to abandon my family's land!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng, Calvin spoke quite difficultly.

Because Zhang Cheng had invited Calvin to go to the West to work for the Far East Group and manage the overseas slave transport business.

"It doesn't matter, we are still friends, aren't we?"

Looking at Calvin, Zhang Cheng smiled.

"Of course, we are friends!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng with a face full of smiles, Calvin couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Because in this vicinity, although he was quite famous, compared to the Far East Group, which covered the sky with one hand in the West, the Calvin family still wasn't enough to look at!

And now, Zhang Cheng could actually come to invite him personally, which simply made Calvin feel incomparably honored.

"I heard the Maxwell family bought a very good slave, have you seen him?"

Looking at Calvin curiously, Zhang Cheng asked.

"Are you talking about that guy they are preparing to use for breeding? Of course I've seen him, he looks very strong!"

Laughing, Calvin raised his eyebrows and said, "I offered five thousand dollars, but was refused by Warren!"

"Oh, crazy, five thousand dollars?"

Looking in disbelief, Zhang Cheng widened his eyes in shock.

Because five thousand dollars was not a small amount; if it were Zhang Cheng's slave transport group, Warren could have packed two ships!

"Friend, you have to believe me! That guy is truly great!"

Showing an approving look, Calvin's eyes flashed with light as he said, "I really want to watch him get killed!"

Twitching his mouth while looking at Calvin, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but slap his forehead.

He wondered why Calvin offered such a high price; it turned out he wanted to watch that slave have his neck broken in the arena with his own eyes!

However, regarding this kind of weird hobby, what could Zhang Cheng say? Because he also really wanted to see that guy worth "five thousand dollars"!

"Young Master, someone has come intending to buy slaves!"

Just as Zhang Cheng and Calvin were chatting, Shi Difen came.

Hearing Shi Difen's words, Zhang Cheng said, "It seems your business has arrived!"

"Go take a look together?"

Inviting Zhang Cheng with a face full of smiles, Calvin couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

Arriving in front of the plantation gate, Zhang Cheng looked at a man and a "negro" riding on horses.

However, carefully sizing the two up, Zhang Cheng frowned.

Walking up, Li Yong came to Zhang Cheng's side and said, "Boss, that cowboy is very similar to the person described by the captured slave!"

Squinting his eyes, Zhang Cheng didn't speak, because even without Li Yong, he had guessed who these two people were.

When he first met Calvin, Zhang Cheng thought he had made a mistake, but now it seemed he really was that "unlucky" slave owner! The cowboy was solved by someone, the goods were snatched, and he lost a large sum of money for nothing!

But Zhang Mouren, who never suffered a loss, didn't think the other party could escape this time!

Curling his lips, Zhang Cheng revealed a "sunny big boy"-like smile.

"Mr. Schultz, very happy to see you!"

Greeting with a face full of smiles, Calvin displayed the demeanor of a gentleman.

But unfortunately, before arriving, Schultz and Jiang Ge both knew that the man before them was just a devil wearing a gentleman's skin!

Calvin: Blind? I am a devil? Then who is beside me!

Zhang Cheng: Don't look at me, I'm not, I don't admit it!

On a hot sunny noon, after Schultz and Calvin chatted for a few sentences, he immediately proposed his idea.

That was, he wanted to buy a real "gladiator."

Regarding Schultz, who offered twelve thousand dollars, Calvin subconsciously looked at Zhang Cheng.

Because he discovered that Zhang Mouren's expression now was very ugly!

Showing a smile, Zhang Cheng suppressed the displeasure in his heart.

Because his slaves were sold very cheaply; basically, a few dollars could take them away.

However, regarding this point, Zhang Cheng didn't worry at all, because he didn't intend to let Lincoln win at all!

And it was precisely because of the large amount of labor that the Far East Group could expand so quickly.

If it were said that the development of the West and the railways were legends forged by the flesh and blood of former Chinese laborers, then the Far East Group was a monster standing on the bones of "negroes"!

"By the way, I heard you have a female slave who speaks German, can I chat with her?"

Looking at Calvin with a face full of smiles, Schultz proposed this request.

Hearing Schultz's words, Calvin revealed a meaningful smile, full of happiness as he said, "How could I refuse a guest's request?"

Just as Calvin's words finished, a box not far away was opened.

Buried in the scorching summer day, Broomhilda was seen being dragged out.

When Jiang Ge saw his wife, his whole person couldn't help but turn gloomy, as if anger was burning in his heart.

Stepping forward to pour water, the cowboys laughed excitedly.

Looking at all this indifferently, Zhang Cheng had his hands in his pockets, his eyes full of teasing expressions.

Because he really wanted to see if Jiang Ge would reveal any flaws.

But clearly, this guy suppressed his anger; he truly was a rational man!

In the afternoon, Schultz's room,

Broomhilda was brought in.

Pouting her lips, her heart was full of resistance at this moment, but she couldn't stop all this, just like her birth.

But just after the door was closed, Schultz raised his finger, placed it before his mouth, then slowly opened the room door beside them.

But when Broomhilda saw her husband Jiang Ge, she immediately covered her mouth and cried.

Because it had been so long, she finally saw this man again.

But just after both sides finished talking, at the evening banquet, both sides formally unfolded negotiations.

And as an outsider, Zhang Cheng didn't interfere.

But Schultz and Jiang Ge forgot one thing, and that was that Shi Difen was not Calvin.

Cunning Shi Difen, upon sensing that the other party wanted to buy Broomhilda, sensed a problem.

Because logically speaking, such a slave was not qualified to appear in the transaction, but they insisted on buying her along the way.

Sure enough, under Shi Difen's deliberate testing, Jiang Ge revealed a flaw.

In this era where hesitation leads to defeat and delay leads to white giving, Calvin was called into the room by the old butler.

Not long after, when Calvin walked out, he directly pressed Broomhilda onto the table, then picked up a hammer and roared, "Who exactly did you come to buy?"

Facing the fact that he was almost deceived, Calvin was even angrier that they made him lose face.

Because in front of Zhang Cheng, he had always been a very smart person, but now he was almost played for a fool; how could this make Calvin happy?

"Don't be like this!"

Looking at Calvin in fear, Schultz shouted hurriedly.

Walking out from behind, a large number of cowboys appeared, surrounding the two.

Leisurely eating steak, Zhang Cheng was indifferent to everything; after all, as a spectator, he couldn't possibly be the first to get shot!

"We indeed came to buy Broomhilda, as an apology, I can give you all the money!"

Handing over all the money, Schultz finally obtained forgiveness.

"Bang!"

Slamming the hammer onto the table, Calvin said excitedly, "Good, now this woman belongs to you, hahaha!"
