Chapter 371: Splurge (Part II)
With adequate funding, it's easier to do anything.
When Chu Tianjiang was killing time in the trading grounds, one of Stewart's deacons, Dylan, who had stayed in Las Vegas, had rented a large estate in Las Vegas with an area of more than 1,000 acres and more than 10 houses, the main building was a large estate covering an area of nearly 5,000 square meters, including a basement with five floors and hundreds of rooms, and nearby rivers, lakes and forests.
Of course, this is what Chu Tianjiang meant.
According to Stewart's plan, they would have to stay in Las Vegas for at least ten days, and they would also have to form a convoy of no less than a thousand people here before they rushed to Salt Lake City, so Chu Tianjiang thought that a place large enough, preferably remote.
As for whether to buy this manor, Chu Tianjiang hadn't thought about it yet.
Because the transaction amount was huge, and they took a big advantage, the trading hall provided a free escort team to escort Chu Tianjiang and them to the manor.
Protected by the Las Vegas Syndicate convoy, there was no trouble along the way.
Back at the manor, Stewart immediately arranged for his men to settle the slaves. Chu Tianjiang made a clear request, that is, they were no longer slaves, so in addition to restricting their range of activities, they could not be restricted from their freedom, let alone treated roughly, and they should also be given due care, such as providing enough food, clothing for shelter and warmth, and quilts and firewood for heating at night.
It takes a lot of effort to do all of this.
In addition, he had to recruit guards in the afternoon, so Stewart didn't have time to accompany Chu Tianjiang.
Of course, Chu Tianjiang didn't need him to accompany him.
Chu Tianjiang took Clara and Nichol around the manor, took the opportunity to deploy a cordon with energy bodies, and surveyed the surrounding terrain.
In the past, it was supposed to be a pasture, with an open meadow to the south, a river to the west, a lake to the southwest, a hill not too steep to the north, and a not-so-dense wooded area to the north, and some tall trees on both sides of the river.
Because it is only more than ten kilometers away from Las Vegas, there are no robbers near the estate.
This is also related to the fact that the manor has been abandoned for a long time, and before Chu Tianjiang and them, it has been uninhabited for many months, and no one even takes care of it.
In this troubled era, not many civilians dare to live in the suburbs.
When Chu Tianjiang and the others returned to the manor, Stewart's maids had already prepared lunch, and the female slaves who had been bought back were bathing by the only well. Probably often exposed in broad daylight, and there are very few men in the first place, they don't care about being seen by others at all. When Chu Tianjiang came back with Clara and Nichol, there were several beautiful slave girls who were still staring at Chu Tianjiang.
"Boss."
"What, what's wrong?" Chu Tianjiang turned his gaze to Andre who was walking towards him.
"Those two guys, you go and see for yourself, or I'll kill them."
"Really?"
"Anyway, I don't think we should unshackle them."
"Nichol, stay with Clara. Also, go get those little devils and tell them to stop staring at those naked women. All the hairs haven't grown, so they have a color heart, and what happens when they grow up? Chu Tianjiang sighed and said to Andre, "Let's go, let's go see those two guys." ”
When Chu Tianjiang and Andre walked away, Nicol and Rachel went to find out the four imps hidden in the grass by the well.
Hearing Miller's screams, Chu Tianjiang knew that Rachel must be teaching him a lesson. These little ghosts are very precocious, and they are in puberty, their physiology is developing, and they must be full of curiosity about the opposite sex, especially the mature opposite sex, and maybe they will have spring dreams at night.
The two Japanese were held in solitary confinement in a small shack.
Previously, it was supposed to be a chicken coop.
"Bring them out."
Andrei nodded to Leonid and Valentin, who were guarding the door, and the two immediately went in and dragged the two Japanese slaves out.
"Andrey, you go find two katanas."
"This ......"
"Go ahead, don't ask."
Andre knew Chu Tianjiang's habits, and even more so Chu Tianjiang's strength, so he did as he was told.
"Valentin, go get something to eat, the kind that is easy to digest, not too much."
"Boss ......"
"Just go."
Valentin nodded and left.
"Leonid, remove their shackles."
"This ......"
Chu Tianjiang smiled, feeling that he had said enough.
Leonid didn't ask much, and immediately pulled the shackles off the hands and feet of the two Japanese with his hands, but instead of retreating, he stood less than three meters away from them.
Seeing Leonid pull off the shackles with his hands directly, both Japanese Americans were shocked.
You must know that it is a shackle made of cast iron, let alone by hand, even with a shovel can not be opened, and without a key, you can only use a chainsaw and other cutting tools.
"My surname is Chu, and they are all my subordinates." Chu Tianjiang took a few steps forward and said, "From now on, you are free people. ”
"Are you Chinese?"
"Chinese American, to be exact. You may not know that after the catastrophe, the surviving Japanese have all emigrated to China, so in a sense, we are compatriots. ”
"Phew!" The slightly taller Japanese descendant spat at Chu Tianjiang's feet.
Chu Tianjiang smiled, didn't get angry because of this, and said, "Of course, it's up to you whether or not to accept my point of view. Only, I'm giving you freedom now. ”
"There is no basis for words."
"Need credentials?"
At this time, Valentin rushed over with two pieces of cake.
"I'll ask Stewart to redeem you, but you'll have to eat something first. If I leave hungry, people will call me stingy. ”
"Why do you want to give us freedom?" The shorter Japanese finally spoke.
"It's very simple, you are originally free people, and everyone in this world should be free people, but this world has made you lose your freedom."
"Others too?"
"Of course, I'll let them go, but not now, but out of Las Vegas and to a place where they can live their lives freely. As for those teenagers, they may have to follow me for a while, after all, they are all children and have no ability to survive on their own. ”
"Why are you doing this?"
"I believe that everybody knows how to repay the kindness, especially those who share the same values as me."
The two Japanese looked at each other, and the short man said, "We're leaving, but not now, because you bought us for a great deal of money, and we're going to pay off the debt." ”
"Repay?" Chu Tianjiang sighed and said, "How to repay?" ”
"You've seen our knife skills, just let us go to the arena and we'll ......"
"You won't survive even a minute against a real opponent."
"Impossible!"
"Well, let's give it a try."
Chu Tianjiang nodded at Andre, who had just arrived, and said, "Give them the knife." ”
Andrei didn't ramble and threw the two bushido over.
The two Japanese immediately reached out to catch the katana, but their faces changed at the same time, because they felt a tremendous pressure when they caught the katana.
"You eat something first."
"We're not hungry."
Chu Tianjiang smiled and said, "If it is your nature to lie, I will kill you now." Hungry is hungry, there is nothing to hide. ”
The two Japanese were stunned for a moment, immediately took the cake, and swallowed it in a few bites.
After the two of them finished eating and drank a few more sips of water, Chu Tianjiang said, "Okay, draw the knife." ”
"It's not a wooden knife, it's a real knife."
Chu Tianjiang smiled and said, "I also know a little bit about the Japanese sword art school. It's just a competition, and if any of you can touch my body, even if it's just the corner of my clothes, I'll agree to your request and find an opportunity to let you go to the arena and pay off the debt owed to me. ”
"We have to see blood when we go under the knife, and we are no exception."
Chu Tianjiang smiled. "Don't be wordy. I'm not going to fight back, I'm just dodging. I'll give you ten moves, and as long as you can get me within ten moves, you'll win. ”
The two Japanese looked at each other, said nothing, and attacked almost simultaneously.
It's a pity that they are just ordinary people, no matter how fast they are, no matter how good their knife skills are, even if Chu Tianjiang doesn't fight back, they are definitely not Chu Tianjiang's opponents.
After a round of onslaught, the short Japanese came to a halt first.
"Jiro, that's enough, we've already attacked more than fifty knives!" The short Japanese walked up to Chu Tianjiang, dropped his katana, and suddenly knelt down. "I'm Taro Fukushima, and he's my younger brother, Jiro Fukushima. If we lose, we will be convinced, and we will be punished by you. ”
The tall Japanese also walked over, dropped the katana, and knelt down beside his brother.
"Punishment? You have done nothing wrong, so why should you be punished? Chu Tianjiang smiled and said, "If you don't want to leave, follow me in the future." If you have time, you can practice your swordsmanship, and if you have time, I will accompany you to play. If one day you are confident that you will meet me within ten moves, come to me again. You win, and I will fulfill any of your requests. ”
"Chu ......"
"My surname is Chu, but I think you should call me boss like them."
"Boss!"
"Very well, get up." When the Fukushima brothers stood up, Chu Tianjiang said again, "Go take a shower, and then change into a decent set of clothes." Remember, no one here is a slave, so if you want to find those women, you have to get their permission. ”
"Yes!"
"Andrey, after they take a bath, you take them to change their clothes."
"Boss."
"From now on, they will follow me. Of course, before beating me, they weren't members of the team, at most they were associate members. ”
As soon as Chu Tianjiang said this, Andre accepted the Fukushima brothers. Chu Tianjiang also knew very well that Andre looked down on the Fukushima brothers a little, because the Fukushima brothers were just ordinary people, with no superpowers and no energy bodies, so Chu Tianjiang mentioned that the Fukushima brothers were only quasi-members. More importantly, the Fukushima brothers will never be Chu Tianjiang's opponents, and they will never be able to become full members.
