Entering the tent and seeing Stewart and Chu Tianjiang, Edgar was stunned.

"Stewart, you...... Why are you here, all ...... It's so late. ”

"I'd love to know what I'm going to do at four o'clock in the morning." Stewart controlled his emotions and said coldly, "Edgar, can you tell me what it's for?" ”

Glancing at Chu Tianjiang, Edgar suddenly understood. "Stewart, don't take his word for it, he actually ...... He's ......"

"What is it?" Stewart asked.

Edgar hesitated for a moment and said, "Stewart, there are some things I can only tell you privately. ”

"There's no need for that." Stewart clearly didn't believe Edgar. "I just want to know that in the middle of the night, what are you not in your tent for?"

"I ...... I'm out on patrol. ”

Chu Tianjiang couldn't help but smile and shook his head, but he still didn't rush to speak.

"Edgar, if you can protect us, do you think I'll pay a lot of money to hire guards?"

"Stewart, that's not the case." Edgar glanced at Chu Tianjiang again, gritted his teeth, and said, "Actually, they are Mark's people. ”

"Really?" Stewart's brow jumped a few times and looked towards Chu Tianjiang.

Chu Tianjiang wasn't surprised, because he had already expected Edgar to say that. It's just that Chu Tianjiang didn't defend himself. If Stewart couldn't even understand such a simple question, he wouldn't be qualified to be the head of the Chamber of Commerce, and I'm afraid he would never be able to make it to Las Vegas.

After a moment of silence, Stewart burst out laughing, staring at Edgar even harder.

Chu Tianjiang knew that Stuart had figured it out.

Almost at the same time, Edgar understood, and quickly took two steps back. It's just that when he turned around, the tower-like Andre was already blocking the doorway.

Chu Tianjiang nodded at Andre, and the play was almost at this point.

"Wait......" Stewart called out Andre, who had already captured Edgar. Edgar, I'll give you one last chance. As long as you honestly explain what you have done, I will let you live, let you leave the caravan, and allow you to take your personal belongings with you. ”

"Stewart, trust me, they're ......"

"Are you still trying to lie to me?" Stewart walked towards Edgar, and Chu Tianjiang hurriedly grabbed his arm and told him not to get too close to Edgar. "You made three serious mistakes. First, only you know about recruiting free mercenaries, and if they are Mark's men, you are also twindling for Mark to send someone to infiltrate the caravan. Second, if they were sent by Mark, do you think I would still be alive until now? Thirdly, you are only a deacon in the caravan, so how do you know that they are sent by Mark? ”

Edgar was silent, he really couldn't explain the three questions.

"Edgar, you've been with me for years, and I can't bear to kill you, but that doesn't mean they'll show mercy."

Edgar shuddered a few times, and suddenly said, "Stewart, if you dare to touch half of my hair, Mark will definitely not let you go!" ”

Stewart sneered and said, "Even if I let you go, Mark won't let me go." ”

"Stewart, you ......"

"You've missed the last opportunity."

As soon as Stuart said this, Chu Tianjiang nodded at Andre, and Andre immediately dragged Edgar away.

Subsequently, Chu Tianjiang told Nichol, who was hiding outside, through his consciousness, to ask her to find Andre, regardless of whether Edgar had confessed or not, to tell Andre the news they had heard, and to let Andre dispose of Edgar in an hour, and then come to report, saying that it was to torture Edgar to get the news.

"I didn't expect it to be Edgar."

"In this world, there are many unexpected things, especially in this troubled era."

"He has been with me for five years, he has always been loyal, and he has never done anything that is sorry for me."

"Perhaps, he also has a last resort."

Stewart sighed and said, "Perhaps, it has something to do with his sister." ”

"He has a sister?"

Stewart nodded and said, "He has a younger sister who is three years younger than him. At the time of the great tribulation, the brother and sister were separated. Three months ago, he learned that his sister had been sold to a nightclub in Salt Lake City. He approached me, and I promised to help him, but we never went to Salt Lake City, and the owner of the nightclub offered a very high price, so I couldn't scrape together that much money for a while. Perhaps Mark has found his sister, or even ransomed her, and then blackmailed him to force him to sell the caravan. ”

"If you want to let him live, it's still too late."

"Nope! I've given him a chance and won't give him a second chance. Stuart let out a long sigh, "Edgar must have told Mark of our whereabouts, and Mark doesn't know he's been exposed for the time being, so I think it's too late to get back into town." ”

"Stewart, do you believe me?"

Stewart glanced at Chu Tianjiang and did not show his attitude.

"If you believe me, I promise to get you to Las Vegas safely."

"But there are only a dozen of you."

Chu Tianjiang laughed. "Stewart, it's not the point that there are fewer people. Although I have only eleven men, there are only twenty of you, and you don't have many valuables. Our small team means more flexibility and easier access to danger. ”

"Are you sure?"

"Absolutely."

Stewart gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I trust you." If we can get to Las Vegas safely, I will not only continue to hire you to escort the caravan to Salt Lake City, but you will also escort me to Houston and give you half of the profits. ”

"I'm not going to Houston."

"This ......"

"I can only escort you to Denver, but I can find a more suitable escort for you then."

"You have a relationship with the Jewish bloc in Denver?"

"It's Lakewood's Asian group."

Stewart was stunned for a moment, then understood. "So, when you get to Denver, you can get the Asian group to send the Rose Army to escort the caravan to Houston?"

Chu Tianjiang nodded and said, "Of course, you need to pay a high enough commission. Well, I think half the profit is enough. ”

"This ......"

"Money is something outside the body, I only charge a commission according to the normal price, and I won't take a penny more from you."

Stewart was a little surprised, and didn't seem to believe what Chu Tianjiang said.

"Stewart, you know, these of my men are willing to follow me and die for me, definitely not because I gave them enough money." Chu Tianjiang smiled and said, "With their ability, they can make more money anywhere." You have to understand that in this world, nothing that can be bought with money is nothing, and the most precious things cannot be bought with money. ”

Stewart looked at Chu Tianjiang and said, "Mr. Chu, it seems that I have been mistaking you. ”

"Don't call me sir, I'm not a gentleman." Chu Tianjiang took out his cigarette and said, "I have collected your commission, and I will definitely deliver you to Las Vegas safely." It's just that you'd better tell me the ins and outs of the matter. It's good for me and even better for you. ”

"What do you want to know?"

"What can you tell me?"

Stewart thought for a moment and said, "You already know that I am the head of the Houston Chamber of Commerce, and that Mark is the head of the Skull Legion of the Texas White Group. ”

"So, you're supposed to be a family."

Stewart sighed with a wry smile and said, "You don't know, the Houston Chamber of Commerce and the Texas White Group are only cooperative partners, not affiliated with the White Group. To put it more bluntly, the Houston Chamber of Commerce pays taxes to the white Texas group and procures all kinds of supplies for the group, while the white Texas group provides security guarantees within the bounds of the chamber's power and suppresses other chambers of commerce. ”

"It's more of a symbiotic relationship."

Stewart nodded and said, "This is also the relationship between most chambers of commerce and local separatist forces, and only a few local separatist forces such as the Denver Jewish Group have their own chambers of commerce. This is not surprising, most of the leaders of the separatist forces are soldiers, and they do not know how to do business, let alone how to obtain resources through trade, only that they collect taxes and oppress merchants. ”

"What is Mark going to do to you?"

"It's not me he's going to deal with, and it's not he's going to deal with me."

"He's just a minion of the white Texas conglomerate?"

Stewart nodded and said, "Because Texas is rich in oil resources, as well as large areas of pasture and arable land, the Houston Chamber of Commerce is mainly engaged in population trade, that is, using the sale of oil and grain to buy labor from various places, so that they can extract oil, operate ranches and cultivate arable land. Contrary to what many people think, the profits of human trade are very thin and sometimes loss-making. ”

"This ......"

"Obviously, you are not a merchant and have not been involved in human trade." Stewart sighed and said, "It's mostly women who can buy it now. Although some women are able to work, they are not popular in oil fields, ranches and farms, and most buyers want men in their prime. Of course, some young, beautiful, and physically healthy women can be sold for a good price, but no one will let them work. ”

"What is the white Texas group going to do to you?"

"It's against the Chamber of Commerce." Stewart paused for a moment and said, "The Chamber of Commerce is very difficult to operate, and has repeatedly proposed to the White Texas Group that they hope to lower the tax rate so that the Chamber of Commerce can make money." Unfortunately, the white Texas group not only did not accede to the chamber's demands, but also raised the tax rate every time. The current tax rate has made it impossible for the Chamber of Commerce to survive in Houston. ”

"So, you're going to leave Houston?"

Stewart nodded, indicating that this was what he meant.
