Chapter 243: Good Child (Part II)
"Tchaikov is waiting to see my joke!" After Tchaikov left, Dick said indignantly. He picked up the glass next to the bed, but after taking a sip, he felt that it didn't taste right, and the vodka he wanted to drink the most was now in Tchaikov's pocket.
"They're damned thieves, robbers, traitors! This has been true since ancient times! Dick scolded indignantly, if he had a gun in his hand at this time, Dick thought that he would chase him out and beat Tchaikov into a sieve!
"Dick, I think you'd better rest first, and then we'll think about it in the long run." Mr. Min smiled bitterly and killed Tchaikov halfway, which was not a small trouble.
"Well, I'll be a good boy for the time being, let Tchaikov be proud, and soon he will be so busy that he will forget about me as a person......" Dick's mind flashed, and he knew what to do.
Tchaikov was satisfied with Dick's vodka, his vodka and his own drink brand turned out to be the same, which made Tchaikov a little surprised, but he was even happier that just now he saw Dick's sluggish appearance, Tchaikov estimated that his weak body and bones would not recover in two or three months, and by that time, Dick might have gone to heaven, even if Dick didn't die at that time, he was also a playboy who ate and waited for death, and time was enough for Tchaikov to free up his hands to slowly deal with these aborigines.
As for the future, it will be when Dick's children grow up, at least for 20 years, Tchaikov does not need to worry, from this point of view, Tchaikov feels that although he has lost something, it is still worth it.
The next day, Tchaikov's men came to the town, and when several all-terrain vehicles and the powerful armored vehicle drove into the town, it attracted the onlookers of the townspeople, and the people who fled back told about the wrath of the dragon's blood, and various rumors were popular in the town. Tchaikov did not intend to explain to these natives, he simply and rudely told everyone that as the guardian of the Red Dragon, he would never allow anyone to disturb the peace of the Red Dragon, forget that Dick's playboy, this place will always belong to the Tchaikov family.
These aborigines are basically illiterate people, their thinking is not much different from the Middle Ages, hundreds of years of technological development has stagnated here, the pursuit of treasure is their instinct, and ignorance is their second instinct.
As for the Red Dragon? It's just a legend, but it's enough for these ignorant people to believe it, and it's the legend of the red dragon that has stopped the stupid hearts of many treasure hunters for hundreds of years.
Tchaikov's presence was not just for the sake of welcoming himself, he wanted to declare to the undead people and Dick in these towns: Save your worries! You people! Here it is mine! If I want, I can send you all to God with the movement of my little finger!
Now, in Tchaikov's opinion, his approach has paid off, when Tchaikov boarded his "Tiger" all-terrain vehicle, he looked at the silent people in the town, with fear, jealousy, and of course a little hatred in his eyes, Tchaikov felt very satisfied, he glanced at the silent people with contempt, closed the door with a "bang", and said to the driver simply: "Let's go!" ”
The armored vehicles roared out of the way, and the tracks ran over the town's rudimentary permafrost roads, leaving deep tracks on them. Tchaikov left Sasha and others and a fully equipped "Tiger". Although Tchaikov felt that he had completely suppressed Dick, he still did not trust Dick in his bones, and he wanted his own people to see Dick roll out of the land in ashes, and the aborigines would obediently obey when they saw Dick leave.
Unlike Tchaikov's rough and unruly character, Dick is the kind of shrewd and calculating "businessman" that Tchaikov does not look down on, and he knows more about the skills of unscrupulous means to achieve his ends, and now Tchaikov needs him to be a good boy, so he will obediently be a "good baby", at least in Tchaikov's opinion.
Sasha met Dick as soon as Tchaikov left, and Dick knew that Tchaikov had left his best lieutenant, and he was lying on the bed humming, looking at the sequelae of the concussion, and he also talked to Sasha from time to time.
It was just a courtesy, and Sasha returned to the car after seeing Dick.
Tchaikov's men were indeed professional and conscientious, and they almost always stayed in the car to monitor Dick and the expedition, and the car was parked outside Dick's suite, where every move was under Sasha's control. The expedition, under the command of Robert Lee, methodically carried out preparations for the evacuation, which Dick did not pay attention to. The day after Tchaikov left, the expedition dismantled most of the equipment, and it would take a day or two at most for them to load up and evacuate, and now that the weather was good, the snowstorm had passed, and Sasha was confident that the evacuation would go very smoothly.
But on the surface, the good baby can be thinking about something big behind his back, and Dick is now staying in his suite like a little daughter-in-law who doesn't leave the door, claiming that he is not feeling well and needs to recuperate.
"Dick, we can leave early tomorrow morning, your body is ......" After everything was done, Robert Lee reported the progress to Dick.
"Then withdraw." Dick shrugged his shoulders, Tchaikov felt that everything was under his control, and Dick felt that all this was not beyond his expectations.
"Okay, I'll arrange for the doctor to accompany you throughout the whole process, Sasha will go with us, I'll go and report it." Robert Lee sensed Dick's displeasure and didn't want to stay in the suite for long.
"Robin, as mercenaries, do you only need money to do everything?" There was a hint of sarcasm in Dick's words.
"No, that's an unprincipled mercenary, you invited me here to ensure your absolute safety." Robert Lee knew of course that Dick was mocking himself for defecting to Tchaikov's side, but this was not easy to explain, so he had to say politely.
"Well, I hope so." Dick smiled and waved his hand to let Robert Lee go.
Robert Lee arranged everything and went to Wang Xingguo by the way. For Wang Xingguo, Robert has a feeling of sympathy, as the security captain here, it is not easy to serve an unprofessional but moody employer like Dick, but this is his own job, there are three days at most, and he can be freed, and he will rarely have the opportunity to intersect with others from now on, so while he is free, Robert Li wants to talk to Wang Xingguo.
Robert Li specially brought two bottles of wine, Wang Xingguo after obtaining Robert Lee's consent, beckoned Xia Ruobing and others to have a few drinks together, everyone talked very happily, and learned during the conversation that Robert Li was born abroad since his grandfather's generation, and his perception of China only comes from the limited propaganda and documentaries in the West, but this does not hinder that natural sense of closeness.
"Captain, Dick is looking for the mayor, but the mayor took someone out yesterday." While a few people were drinking, Robert Lee's walkie-talkie rang out at an inopportune time, and a member of the team called him.
"Okay, I'll be right here." Robert Lee had no choice but to spread his hands apologetically at everyone, after all, it was still the work that mattered.
Although the mayor is only nominal, it is different from the well-known town, although the mayor is "democratically elected", but he does not have much political work, and the town does not have much to do with the mayor, his job is only to communicate and negotiate interests on behalf of the town and the outside world, the people in the town have formed their own set of well-run order for thousands of years, and the mayor's main business is actually to lead everyone to dig out how to find the legendary diamond mine.
Taking advantage of the blizzard, the mayor of the town led some people to enter the barren land again, and the arrival of Dick made the aborigines who had almost no hope for the diamond mine go crazy again, and the legend of the red dragon disturbance is also circulating, everyone with their own familiarity with this place, they dig out their hearts to guess where the red dragon disturbance is, trying to find the mine they have dreamed of for hundreds of years!
Robert Lee rushed to Dick's suite, Dick just said that he was going to evacuate, and there were some financial transactions that needed to be explained, so he asked him to get the mayor back as soon as possible, fortunately, there was no mechanization in the town, and the mayor and his party did not go far on horses, and in the evening, the people sent by Robert found him, and according to Dick's request, he put the mayor in the car and ran back to the town overnight.
The mayor was not very pleased with Dick's enthusiasm, and it was already midnight when he returned to the town, and he came to Dick's suite with his face pulled on his face, and said, "Dick, you'd better give me a satisfactory price, or else you'll ......"
"Diamond Mine, I think you're absolutely satisfied with the price." Dick interrupted the mayor.
The mayor was taking off his coat at this time, and the heat in the suite made him a little unbearable, and when he heard the words "diamond mine", he stopped undressing and looked up in surprise, and Dick at this time did not look like he had been injured and dying when he had just returned to town a few days ago, and stood in the room with a bright face.
"Mines? Did you find it? The mayor asked, looking around and finding Mr. Min sitting on the couch.
"You'll find it soon, haven't you been here for hundreds of years just for the riches of the mines?" Dick said with a smile.
"Okay, so how do we work together?" After all, the mayor has seen the world, and he doesn't think there's any point in going around the bend, so he simply says it.
"Relax, it's not far from town...... Dick picked up a paintbrush and circled the map.
"Dick, are you kidding me? We've looked for it there at least a few hundred times! The mayor laughed dumbly, feeling like he was wasting his time.
"But you didn't go looking for the river that flowed through, did you?" Dick smiled slightly, he had already expected the mayor's reaction.
The mayor was stunned for a moment.
"That river wasn't a natural formation, it actually used to be the road to the mine. Old Zacher wanted the secret of the mine to be buried forever, and he blew up the glacial lake. ”
"You mean, the mine is under the river?" The mayor said, "That's going to be a problem." ”
"No, the mine is by the river, it's just that you can't see the geological changes after so many years, but I know where it is. So, do you think our cooperation is necessary? Dick asked rhetorically, thinking that Mayor Mare would definitely take the bait.
The next morning, as the expedition boarded the car and prepared to leave the damned place, Dick regained his languishing appearance, and was carried onto his flagship, and when the door closed, a subtle smile appeared on Dick's lips.
The mayor personally led people to see off Dick and his party, and Dick reciprocated the mayor's "enthusiasm", allowing Robert Lee to leave behind a lot of supplies, including several sets of high-end communication equipment, and the flagship sailed out of the town on the way back, and Sasha's "Tiger" followed the convoy and left the town.
"Well, if it's there, even if it penetrates the earth, we'll find it!" The mayor watched the convoy leave town, took a deep breath, and muttered to himself. He already saw the glitzy world of the future beckoning to him.
