Chapter 0801: Aftermath

A large bonfire was lit in the open space in front of the log cabin by the lake, and the bear that had been killed by the FA organization turned into dinner. The surviving mercenaries and armed men, as well as the few professional killers, enjoyed a bonfire roast of bear meat and vodka. Some sing, some dance. But no one remembered the dead companions.

When they asked for the bounty, they remembered their dead companions, as well as their wives and children. They kept saying that they would give a pension to the widows of their comrades who died in battle, but who remembers it now? For those who are alive, the more dead companions the better, because the more people who die, the more money they will receive.

The women of the Gray and Russo families nested in the cabin, afraid to go out. It's not that the mercenaries and armed men restrict their freedom, it's that the four women face a horde of drunken thugs, whose bodies are the ones who lure them into committing crimes. Who can guarantee that those villains will not think badly of them and do something to them under the influence of alcohol?

"Did you say that guy would come back?" Rosa broke the silence in the cabin.

Stella said, "Do you need to ask? he won't be coming back." ”

"Why?" said Teresa, "He paid those guys $3 million to save us, that's $3 million! Most people don't make that much money in their lifetime, and if he doesn't come back, why does he pay us that much?"

"yes, I thought he wouldn't give that money, but he did. Giovanna said.

"He's an arms dealer, what's that money to him? I feel guilty about it, that's why I paid the bounty. Stella said, "I even suspect that the disappearance of the Grand Knight Captain has something to do with him, don't you think it's strange?"

"I'm a little skeptical, but didn't I say it? It is impossible to kill so many people unless he has an army of more than fifty men. Giovanna said.

"Alright, don't talk about it. Teresa said: "I'm thinking about something else, and it's something we have to face. ”

"What do you mean?" said Stella, looking at Teresa.

"You are the smartest of the four, don't you know what I'm talking about?" said Teresa, "we have sworn to him that we are already his knights according to the old chivalric tradition." Loyalty, bravery, and sacrifice are the qualities of a knight, and should we be loyal to him in the future?"

"Teresa, he was blackmailing us!" Stella said, "We're knights of the Knights Hospitaller, not that guy's! he's not even us Catholics, how can we be loyal to him, let alone fight and die for him." ”

"But we knelt down to Him and swore to Him that we were His Knights according to our tradition. If we break our oath, what difference do we have from those who don't have faith?" said Teresa.

Stella frowned, "Teresa, did you say that because he did that to you? He desecrated your body, and you liked him, right?"

Teresa suddenly got angry, "What nonsense are you talking about? Say it again, I'm going to duel you!"

"That's enough, you all shut up!" Giovanna was distraught by the noise, "so be it, let's vote by a show of hands, those who are in favor of being her knight raise their hands, and those who don't approve do not." ”

"I agree! If we can abandon the spirit of a knight, then what kind of knight are we?" Teresa raised her hand.

Stella didn't raise her hand.

Giovanna had already raised her hand, but seeing that Stella didn't raise her hand, she followed and put her hand down again. She's Stella's sister, and she's got to be on the same side as her sister. She and Stella represent the interests of the Gray family.

Rosa didn't want to raise her hand, but when she saw her sister raise her hand, she, as a sister, could only raise her hand in approval. She and Teresa represent the interests of the Russo family.

It's a hilarious situation, two pairs of twin sisters, and one of them is for and against each pair. In fact, if Giovanna and Teresa are turned into twin sisters, and Rosa and Stella become another pair of twin sisters, then the camp is even more antagonistic.

"Humph!" Stella snorted, "Teresa, let's make a bet." Xia Lei will not come, maybe he is sitting on a plane to China right now. And you, the women of your Russo, are still arguing with me about the tradition of chivalry and the spirit of chivalry, don't you think your choice is wrong? Is it ridiculous?"

"What if he comes?" said Teresa, "will you keep your oath and be his knight?"

"If he comes, I will keep my oath and be his knight. Stella said, "But if he doesn't come, then you will steal our relics from his hands, do you dare to make this bet with me?"

"I promise you!" Teresa agreed without thinking.

Rosa said in a bit of a hurry: "Stupid, you have to think clearly about the consequences of losing the bet, how you can steal our holy relics back from Xia Lei's hands, it is almost impossible!"

Teresa bit Sakura's lip, "I'll have a way, not to mention that I don't have to lose!"

"yes, you'll have a way. Stella sneered, "As that guy's knight, you have a lot of opportunities to contact him, even the acolyte." ”

"Youβ€”" Theresa pounced.

The two women grabbed each other, and the other two women hurriedly persuaded each other. There was chaos in the cabin.

A woman's world is something only a woman can understand.

But at this time, there was a sound of someone greeting and laughter outside the door.

"Wow!" it was a man's voice, and it seemed exaggerated, "my friends, you don't call me for a bonfire, you are too boring, are you?"

The four women in the cabin suddenly fell silent and looked at each other. The voice was so familiar to them that they would recognize it even if they turned to ashesβ€”Xia Lei was coming.

"Haha!" the mercenary leader's voice said, "Mr. Xia, where are you from? What happened? Do you know that we are all worried about you, we have searched almost all the areas within a radius of fifty kilometers, and we almost didn't take the train to the Kremlin to find you. ”

Xia Lei's voice, "The FA organization also has a secret army, they killed Mr. Arthur and Mr. Arthur's people, I went to hunt them down, but they escaped. ”

"Is this true?" said the mercenary leader's voice, surprised.

"Of course it's true, do you need me to swear?" said Xia Lei's voice.

"Mr. Xia, we are people who have been abandoned by God, we have no faith, and our vows are not worth much to us. We don't care if Arthur is dead or alive, we only care about you, we are happy if you are alive, hahaha!" the voice of the mercenary leader.

"Mr. Xia, you are a very generous person, and it is a very pleasure to work with you. Said the leader of an armed group.

Xia Lei's voice, "Money is a trivial matter, and the death of so many brothers is the thing that makes me sad." Mr. Arthur is a good friend of mine, and even he died, and I am really sad. ”

"Mr. Xia, don't be sad, let's have a drink, wine can make you forget the pain. ”

"Mr. Xia, I also toast you!"

"Mr. Xia, please eat a piece of bear meat!"

"My friend, why did you give me the bear whip?"

"Hahaha......"

In the cabin, four women frowned.

"That guy is really back. Giovanna said, "I said a long time ago, he couldn't have killed thirty of our elite people, nor was he the one who killed Arthur!"

Stella looked unhappy.

"Hmph, Stella, don't forget our bet!" Teresa said.

Stella just rolled her eyes at Teresa and didn't say anything.

"Mr. Xia, drink a little more, this is a good vodka. "Someone said.

"Thanks, I can't drink anymore, I'll be drunk if I drink any more. I've got to go see my people. Xia Lei said.

"Mr. Xia, don't worry, we didn't touch those four women. "Someone said.

Footsteps were heard.

The four women looked together at the door of the cabin. I don't know why, don't know that it was Xia Lei outside the door, but they looked very nervous.

In the past, they had an antagonistic relationship with Xia Lei, but now, their antagonistic relationship with Xia Lei has become blurred, and another inexplicable relationship has become clear.

The door to the cabin opened, and Charley appeared in the doorway. He paused slightly, then entered the door, shutting it with his hand.

The four women looked at him, and none of them greeted him.

Xia Lei took off his coat, then took it and said, "My knights, isn't there anyone who comes to help me get my clothes?"

"We are knights, but not your servants. Stella said.

Teresa hesitated, then walked up to Charleigh, grabbed his coat, and hung it on an iron nail behind the door.

Xia Lei smiled, "Thank you." ”

Teresa just nodded and didn't speak.

It must have been a very long and difficult process to collect these four goblins, but Xia Lei was not in a hurry, he sat down on a chair, "I am very sad that Mr. Arthur is dead. ”

Stella interjected: "I don't feel the slightest sadness in you, just now you were talking and laughing with those scum outside and drinking and eating meat." ”

Xia Lei didn't care, "I'm socializing, my sadness is hidden in my heart, you can't see it." ”

Stella, "......"

"Alright, let's get down to business. Charley said: "Mr. Arthur is dead, I don't know your plan to retreat, when do you plan to start it?"

Giovanna said, "Arthur used that computer to contact headquarters, and that computer was taken away by those mercenaries, and we couldn't get in touch with headquarters at all. ”

"Hasn't anyone contacted you at the headquarters of the Knights Hospitaller?"

The four women shook their heads in unison.

"You go and give us that computer and ask us to come back, we will get in touch with the headquarters, and they will send someone to pick us up. Stella said.

"Hehehe. Xia Lei couldn't help but laugh, "I won't be your Knights Hospitaller's car, or the plane back, I'm alone now, I don't trust you." I'd better go back my way. ”

"Are you going to ski back?" Stella said sarcastically.

Xia Lei took out a satellite phone, dialed a number, and said in Russian: "Hello Mr. Ivanov, 1 million dollars, how about you let your plane fly again......?" Okay, call me when you've decided where to land. ”

End of call.

The four women looked at Xia Lei with strange eyes.

"Why are you looking at me like this?" said Xia Lei, shrugging his shoulders, "Isn't there anyone pouring me a glass of water? Well, I want hot water." ”

Four Women, "......"
