Chapter 196: Armageddon (Part II)
Chapter 196 Armageddon (Part II) One of the two door guards stepped forward, and the driver told him that they had come back to fetch a generator that they had forgotten to take with them.
"So late?" The doorman asked a little excitedly.
But just as the door guard was talking, the driver's assistant got out of the car and walked towards the other door guard.
The two doormen were so full of food and drink at the wedding banquet that they didn't bother to move.
In an instant, several things happened at the same time, the driver reached out and pulled out a pistol with a pin with a pin from between his legs, and then fired three shots in the face of the first doorman; The driver's assistant stuck the neck of the other doorman and held a sharp knife, "Whoosh! ~" slit his throat and the two fell to the ground and died.
With the slight sound of a motor, the large deck behind the truck descended rapidly, and thirty warriors of the Eastwood family jumped from it.
They were all wearing masked socks on their faces, black clothes on their bodies, and silent pistols in their hands, led by Alfred, Fixio, and Hammer, and scattered around the compound.
One team of agents cut the telephone lines, and another team dispersed to take control of the compound. Fifteen masked men followed Alfred, Fixio, and Hammer and stormed the restaurant.
The five St. Alden brothers raised their glasses and toasted Tommy, who suddenly flashed to the side.
Without saying a word, the intruder immediately opened fire, and the five brothers of the St. Alden family were beaten to the ground by a rain of bullets.
One masked man, "Hammer", stared down at the five of them, and showed mercy to each of them, shooting them in the jaw. The floor was covered with shiny broken glass.
Another masked man, "Alfred", hands Tommy a mask, a pair of black pants, and a black sweater. Tommy hurriedly changed his outfit and threw the clothes he had taken off into the bag held by the other masked man, Fixio.
Tommy, still unarmed, led Alfred, Fixio, and Hammer down the corridor to Don #St. Alden's bedroom and pushed the door open.
Don #St. Alden has finally woken up and is eating his wedding cake.
He glanced at the four men, crossed with his hand, grabbed the pillow and covered his face, and the saucer containing the cake slipped to the floor.
The nurse was reading in the corner of the room, and Hammer pounced on her like a leopard, gagged her, and tied her to a chair with a thin nylon rope.
Alfred walked over to the bed, and he gently reached out and pulled off the pillow that was on Don #St. Alden's head.
He hesitated, then fired two shots, the first in the eye, and the second, he lifted the bald head and shot it up from under the chin.
They then regrouped, and Hammer finally provided Tommy with a weapon, handing him a long silver-gray rope.
Tommy led them out of the house, through the corridor, and then to the third floor where the cave was located. The hallway was full of flowers and fruit baskets.
Tommy pushed the door of the cave, it locked, and Hammer took off one of his gloves and pulled out a chisel, which he opened with ease.
Theresa and Jason lay on the bed on all fours, apparently the two had just had sex and were almost wet after the indulgence. Theresa's sheer dressing gown was piled up on her waist, and the straps slipped off, revealing her snow-white breasts. She grabbed Jason's hair with her right hand and placed her left hand on his stomach. The latter was naked, but as soon as he saw these people, he sat up with a "suddenly" sound and pulled up the sheet to cover his body.
He understood everything and said, "Don't do anything here, go outside." With that, he walked generously towards them.
Theresa, at first, couldn't figure out what was going on.
As Jason walked towards the door, she reached for him, but he dodged him.
Jason walked out the door, surrounded by masked men Alfred, Fixio, and Hammer. It was only then that Theresa reacted and said, "Tommy, Tommy! Please don't. ”
It was only when the three men turned to look at her that she realized they were her brothers.
"Alfred, Fixio, Hammer, don't do that. Don't do that! Theresa shouted.
It was an extremely difficult time for Tommy. If Theresa leaks out, the Eastwood family will cause a lot of unnecessary trouble, and he is obligated to kill her.
Don didn't give any special instructions on this, how did she know it was them?
Tommy made up his mind, closed the door, and went down the hallway with Jason and Theresa's three brothers.
On this point, Don gave a clear instruction that Jason #St. Alden must be strangled to death, and that he must not be left with stabbing wounds that would make his loved ones weep, which may be a sign of mercy. When sacrificing a loved one's relatives to heaven, he should not be allowed to shed blood, which may be a tradition of inheritance.
Suddenly, Jason #St. Alden let go of the sheets and reached out with both hands to rip off the mask from Tommy's eyelids. Alfred immediately grabbed one of his arms, and Tommy grabbed the other. Hammer lay on the floor and grabbed both of Jason's legs.
At that moment, Tommy put a rope around Jason's neck and dragged him to the floor, and the latter grinned and stared at Tommy's face as if a witch was casting a vicious curse.
Tommy tightened the rope, Fixio followed suit, and the group was all lying on the floor of the hallway, the white sheet wrapping around Jason #St. Alden's body like a shroud, and Theresa screaming horribly from the cave.
When Don finished speaking, he lit another square-tipped cigar and sipped his wine.
Alfred, who had been standing behind Don, said: "This thing was all planned by Tommy, we ran away without leaving a trace, and the Saint Alden family was completely annihilated, and it went very well. ”
"That solved everything, and we haven't had any trouble since," Hammer said. ”
Tang sighed and said, "It was a decision I made, and it was a wrong decision. But how do we know Theresa is going crazy? We were in a critical moment, and that was the only time we had a strong strike. You have to remember that I was not yet sixty years old at the time, and I valued my power and intellect too much. It occurred to me that this would undoubtedly be a tragedy for my daughter, but that a widow would not grieve; They killed my son Sheld. How can I give up if his daughter is not a daughter?
"But I've learned to be good! You and stupid people can't solve problems fairly and reasonably. I should have annihilated them from the start. Before the two lovers meet. Then I can keep my son and daughter! ”。
"So, you see, Thayer is the son of Jason #Thayer #St. Alden. And you, Franos, are almost a few months older than Thayer, and as old as Alfred's son. For many years, I have wanted to make amends for the loss of Thayer's father. I tried to help my daughter come out of her grief. Thayer was raised as a member of the Eastwood family, and he will be my heir to my estate, along with my son. ”
Franos tried to figure out what was going on, and his whole body trembled with disgust with the Eastwood family and the world they lived in. He thinks of his father, Tommy, who has played the role of Satan and lured the St. Alden family to destruction. How can such a man be his father?
Then he thought of Don's daughter, Theresa, whose heart had been cut all these years, for she knew that it was her father and her brothers who had killed her husband, and that it was her own family who had betrayed her. Frans even thought of Thayer with some pity, and now his sins had been confirmed. Then, he was puzzled by Don. He certainly didn't believe the claim that Tommy had been beaten to death by a robber. Why did he seem to accept this statement, he was a man who never believed in coincidences. What's the implication of this?
Franos never understood Alfred, did he believe it was a robbery and murder? Apparently, Fixio and Hammer were convinced. But now he understood the special connection between his father and Don and his three sons. Together, they killed the St. Alden family. And his father left Theresa #Eastwood.
Franos said, "Theresa never leaked it, did she? ”。
Tang said in a sarcastic tone: "No! She behaved even better than that. She went crazy and I sent her to Locke Town and then picked her up again, just in time for Thayer to be born here. Who knows, maybe one day he will become president of the United States. I had hope for the little one, but the combination of the Saint Alden and Eastwood bloodlines was too much for him to bear. ”
Don looked at Lan Ranos and continued, "Do you know the most terrible thing? Your father, Tommy, made a mistake. He should never have kept Theresa, though I loved him for it. He sighed, then took a sip of wine, looked at Franos's face, and said, "You must know that the world is the world now. You are who you are. ”
On the plane back to Las Vegas, Frans pondered the mystery.
Why did Don finally tell him about the war with the Saint-Alden family? Was it to prevent him from going to see Theresa and hearing another version from her? Or do you want to warn him not to avenge his father, because Thayer is involved?
Don is mysterious, but there is one thing that Franks is sure of - if Thayer had killed his father, then Thayer would have killed himself as well, and Farnos could see it, and Don #Clint #Eastwood was sure of it......
Thayer#Eastwood didn't need to hear about the war, and since he was two years old, his mother, Theresa, whispered it to Thayer's little ears whenever she was sick, whenever she felt the grief of losing her husband, and whenever she frightened Tommy and his brothers.
It was only when Theresa was at her peak that she accused her father, Don #Eastwood, of ordering the killing of her husband. Don always denied that he had given the order, and that his son and Tommy had completed the massacre. However, after his daughter blamed him twice, he sent her to the hospital for a month. Since then, Theresa has only yelled and babbled, never accusing Don more plainly.
However, Thayer always remembered her mother's whispers.
He loved his grandfather as a child and believed him innocent, but he plotted against his three uncles, even though they always loved him. He especially dreams of getting revenge on Tommy, although it is all fantasy, but for the sake of his mother, he still has to think about it.
In her normal time, Theresa took care of Don #Eastwood with a lot of affection. For her three brothers, she also showed brotherhood.
She was more distant from Tommy, for she had a gentle face that was hard to believe when she was malicious, and the shape of her face, mouth, and soft, watery grey eyes all declared that her hatred was fake.
She showed great affection for her child, Thayer, and she no longer had such feelings for others, and it was out of this affection that she gave her son a large number of gifts, and her father and several brothers also gave Thayer, but the motive was not so pure, it was a mixture of love and guilt.
When Theresa was normal, she never told Thayer about it, but as soon as she got sick, she would speak ill of her, curse and swear, and even her face would become ugly and angry. Thayer was always confused, and when he reached the age of seven, questions arose in his mind.
"How do you know Tommy and his uncles did it?" Thayer asked his mother.
"Giggles"! Theresa laughed like a witch in a mythological book.
Theresa told him, "They think they are smart, and they have to wear masks, special clothes, and special hats for everything." Do you want to know what they forgot? Tommy is still wearing his dancing shoes, patent leather, black and white checkered. Your uncles always come together in a special way. Alfred was always up front, Fixio was a little further back, and Hammer was always on the right. And the way they looked at Tommy, to see if he had ordered me to be killed. Because I recognize them. They hesitated, literally backing down. However, they were meant to kill me, they were meant to be. My own brother. After saying this, she would burst out crying, which scared Thayer a lot.
At that time, Thayer, even as a seven-year-old child, would try to comfort his mother.
Thayer said, "Uncle Hammer will never hurt you!" If they hurt you, the guild will slaughter them all. ”
He couldn't get Uncle Alfred, or even Uncle Fick, but in his childish heart, he could never forgive Tommy.
When Thayer was ten years old, he learned to be wary of his mother's illness, so that when he saw that his mother motioned for him to come over and tell him again about the Saint-Alden family, he hurried her into the room, which was safer and that his grandfather and uncles could not hear her.
When Thayer was almost an adult, he became so clever that all the disguises of the Eastwood family could not fool him.
He was witty and mean, deliberately showing his grandfather and uncles that he knew the truth, and he could sense that they didn't like him that much.
According to Don's will, Thayer is going to join the legal society, perhaps succeeding Alfred in his position and learning the intricacies of finance, but he appears to have no interest.
He even joked to his uncles, "He's not interested in feminine things in the family." ”
Alfred listened to this with an indifferent expression, and for a moment, the sixteen-year-old Thayer was also frightened.
He remembered what Uncle Alfred had said, "Okay, you won't." The tone was sad and a little angry.
After dropping out of the fourth grade of high school, Thayer was sent to work for a construction company in Tony, Rock Town. Thayer was a hard-working man, working construction sites and developing a well-developed muscle. Fixio grouped him up with the warriors of Locketown, and when he reached a certain age, Don decided to make him a warrior under Fixio.
Don made this decision after listening to Alfred's report on Thayer's conduct and several things he had done.
A beautiful middle school classmate accused him of defiling himself, and another classmate, a boy his age, accused him of assaulting him with a knife.
Thayer begged his uncles not to let his grandfather know, and the uncles agreed, but of course they immediately reported to Tang. The charges were settled privately with large sums of money, and Thayer was not prosecuted.
It was as a teenager that he became more and more jealous of Franos #Mitnik. Frans grew into a tall, unusually handsome young man, who was both sensible and polite. The women of the Eastwood family all liked him and adored him. His cousins liked to flirt with him, but never with Don's grandson.
In the eyes of these young girls, Thayer wore a western cowboy hat, knee-length shorts, short stature, and a large chunk of muscle, and was both witty and cunning, which was terrifying.
Thayer was a smart man, and it was impossible not to notice all this.
When Thayer was taken to a hunting house in the Sierra Nevada, he preferred to trap rather than shoot. The Eastwood family was a very harmonious family, and when he naturally fell in love with a cousin, he had no taboos in asking for love.
He and Locketown, the daughters of the Eastwood family's warrior family, are also too profligate. Alfred, as an elder who was responsible for educating him and punishing him, later relented him to the owner of a senior school in New York City.
However, Thayer is too curious, clever and cunning, so he is the only one in his generation who really knows the ins and outs of the Eastwood family. So, the family finally decided to let Thayer undergo operational training.
As time passed, Thayer's rift with the family grew.
Don still liked him as always, and showed him that he was the heir to the family's fortune, but no longer told him what was in his heart, no longer revealed to him his opinions, the fruit of his secret wisdom, and Don did not support Thayer's strategic advice and strategic thinking.
His uncles Alfred, Fixio, and Hammer didn't love him as much as they did when they were children. Indeed, Hammer seems to treat him better, after all, he was trained by Hammer.
Thayer cleverly thought that perhaps it was his fault, as he divulged his knowledge of the slaughter of the Saint-Alden family and his father. He even asked Hammer about Jason #St. Alden. But his uncle told him that they all respected his father and were saddened by his death.
Although no one has ever said it publicly, and the person involved has never admitted it, Don #Eastwood and his son know in their hearts that Thayer knows the truth and that Theresa leaked the secret when she became ill. They wanted to make amends by treating Thayer like a little prince.
However, the main thing that makes up Thayer's surname is his love and compassion for his mother.
As soon as his mother became ill, it aroused Thayer's hatred for Tommy #Mitnick; But her mother exonerated her father and brother.
These circumstances helped Don #Eastwood make the final decision, because Don could easily read the calendar cards and his grandson's mind.
Tang concluded that Thayer must not join their family's ultimate plan to go to high society. He had the blood of the St. Alden family and the Eastwood family in his veins, an overly murderous mixture of blood, and Don was always a fair man.
Practice has proven that Thayer is an excellent fighter, although he is also an uncontrollable fighter.
He was too self-conscious, completely ignoring the rules of the family, and sometimes not obeying specific orders at all.
His inhumanity can sometimes be beneficial, especially when a dazed leader or undisciplined warrior crosses the rules of the house and needs to be sent to a less complicated afterlife. Thayer was not controlled by anyone but Don himself, and it was incredible that Don would not punish him personally.
Thayer worries about his mother's future, which depends on Don, and as she has seizures more frequent, Thayer can tell that Don is getting more and more impatient. Especially when Theresa was gone, she would draw a circle with her foot, and spit in the center of the circle, screaming that she would never enter the house again.
At this point, Don would send her to the hospital for a few more days.
Therefore, as soon as she became ill, Thayer had to persuade her to restore her gentle and loving heavenly name. But he always worries that in the end he will not be able to protect her unless he becomes as powerful as Don.
There is hardly anyone in the world who can frighten Thayer, not even the president of the United States, who is nothing more than a domestic dog in his eyes.
However, the only person Thayer fears is also the one he respects in his heart, and that is Old Tang!
When he was a child with his grandfather, he developed this fear. This fear also came from the realization that the sons not only loved Don #Eastwood, but were equally afraid. This amazed Thayer. Tang Du is over eighty years old, he is already old and weak, he rarely leaves the mansion, and his body has atrophied. Why be afraid of him?
It is true that he can eat and drink, and he looks dignified, but the only damage that time has caused his body is the aging of his teeth, and he can only eat pasta, grated cheese, stewed vegetables, and soup. The meat is stewed in tomato sauce.
However, Old Tang will not live long, and this will have to hand over power.
What if Tommy became Alfred's right-hand man? What if Tommy usurped power by force? If this situation really arises, Franos only needs to rely on the large wealth he has gained from Huaxia shares, and he will be able to rise to the top.
So Thayer was sure that he had a real reason, not because he hated Tommy, hated him for daring to criticize him in front of his family.
Thayer had already made initial contact with Rocky, when Alfred decided that Thayer should be given some power and appointed him to pay Rocky's salary on behalf of the family.
Of course, some protective measures were also taken against Thayer in case Lodge defected.
A contract was signed between the two parties, stating that Lodge acted as an advisor to a family-owned security company.
The deed clearly states that they will be honest with each other and that they will pay Lodge cash, however, in the security company's tax file, the money will be written into the expense statement, and Lodge will be the payee under a pseudonym.
Thayer paid Lodge a salary for a few years and developed a closer relationship with him. Undeterred by Rocky's fame, he saw him as a man at the threshold of his life, who wanted to save up a lot of money for his old age.
Rocky meddles in everything, protecting drug dealers, using Eastwood money to protect gambling, and even coercive tactics to force certain powerful retailers to pay extra protection money.
Thayer pulled out all the stops to make a good impression on Rocky. His sly and caustic sense of humor, as well as his contempt for accepted moral codes, fit Rocky's heart.
Rocky recounted the poignant story of his struggle with blacks, saying that blacks were destroying Western civilization, and Thayer's response was particularly satisfying.
Thayer himself was not racially prejudiced, and blacks had nothing to do with his life, and if they did, they would be ruthlessly eliminated.
Thayer and Rocky have a common intensity**, not primarily driven by the desire for a surname, but to show the silver power - when Thayer went to Nevada, the two began to get together. They ate together and went to nightclubs together. Thayer never dared to take him to Las Vegas and the Grand Mansion, which did him no good.
Thayer likes to tell Lodge how he first grovels and desperately pursues women, and how women soar by virtue of their beauty, and how he later likes this kind of domineering, and with a little trickery, they can get out of their reluctant commitment to his fate. Rocky is a little contemptuous of Thayer's tricks, and he will tell him how, with his superior masculinity, he subdued a woman from the beginning and then insulted her.
Both of them claimed that if a woman was indifferent to their courtship, they would never force her to have sex. When they seduce women together in Los Angeles nightclubs, they often exchange opinions, laughing at the egotistical women who think they can do whatever they want with impunity and then refuse to do that last thing. Sometimes, when the women wanted to protest very strongly, Lodge would show off his coat of arms and tell the women that he was going to arrest them for selling silver. Since many of them were weak women, this trick worked.
Carefully arranged by Thayer, they spent the evenings in an intimate atmosphere. When Rocky doesn't tell the story of the "black ghost", he tries to portray the characteristics of various types of women.
The first is the out-and-out memorization girls, who reach out with one hand to ask for money and grab your lower body with the other. Then there are the effeminate girls, who attract you, and are friendly with you, asking you for a check to pay your rent when you are about to leave in the morning.
Then there is another kind of effeminate woman who loves you and loves others, and has a long-term relationship with the gift of jewelry every holiday, including May Day. Then there are the office clerks, airliner waitresses, and high-end store salesmen, who, after an expensive dinner, invite you to their rooms for coffee, and then don't even give you a hand, kick you out bare-bottomed, and let you freeze on the street. It's their favorite trick.
One night, after they had dinner at a restaurant in Los Angeles, Thayer suggested taking a walk along the sidewalk. They sat on a bench and watched the passers-by come and go, beautiful young girls on roller skates, men of all colors following behind, all the same as they cried out with their hearts. The effeminate lady sells T-shirts adorned with aphorisms that the two of them can't read. A family with a camera was set against a dark sky, with a line of men and women lying under a blanket on the beach.
"I have a reasonable basis to lock everyone up here. What a messy zoo. Rocky said with a smile.
"Even those pretty chicks with roller skates?" Thayer asked.
"Their lower bodies are dangerous weapons, and I really want to arrest them." Lodge said.
"There aren't many black guys here." Thayer said.
Lying on the beach with his arms and feet outstretched, Rocky said this in a somewhat Southern accent, saying, "I think I'm too my black brothers, as liberals often say, because they used to be slaves." ”
Rocky crossed his hands on the back of his head, and pulled his shirt back, revealing the pistol holster, trying to scare away the stunned hooligans. But no one paid any attention to him, and as soon as he stepped onto the sidewalk, people saw that he was a policeman.
"I bet five white people can do the work of a hundred." Lodge said.
Thayer was amused, this man wasn't telling a joke, was he? But it doesn't matter, he is expressing an emotion, not a rational opinion, and his words express his basic point.
They had a great time. It was a pleasant night, and the world they observed gave them a comfortable sense of security. These people never pose a threat to them.
At this time, Thayer said: "I have a very important suggestion for you. Do you want to repay first, or do you want to take a risk first? ”
Lossy smiled at him and said, "It's always the first thing to pay." ”
Thayer said: "Pay $200,000 in cash in advance. After a year, you will be the security officer of the Grand Tower. The salary is five times what you are earning now. Expense account, large car, food and accommodation, but also to satisfy your silver * desire. You'll want to do a full background check on the hotel's showgirls. Plus the dividends you get now. And you don't have to take the risk of being the main shooter. ”
"That sounds good," said Rocky, "but somebody has to be killed." That's risky, isn't it? ”。
"I'll take the risk, I'll shoot." Thayer said.
"Why don't you let me come? I have a police badge and it is legal to shoot. Lodge said.
"Because you won't live more than half a year afterwards." Thayer said directly.
"So what do I do? Scratch your ass with feathers? Lodge said.
Thayer explained the whole operation, and Lodge whistled to show that he appreciated the bold and ingenious idea.
"Why kill Tommy #Mitnick?" Lodge asked.
"Because he's going to rebel." Thayer said.
Rocky still seemed a little hesitant, this would be his first murder, but he decided to do it anyway.
"Do you remember the suicide of Maxres? It was done by Franos, not personally, but by a guy named Leah. Thayer said.
"What does he look like?" Lossy asked.
Thayer paints a picture of Leah, and Lodge realizes that he was the man who followed him when he stopped Marcres in the hotel lobby. Rocky smiled brightly and said, "Where can I find this guy Leah?" ”。
Thayer pondered for a moment, and in doing so, he had broken the family's only truly sacred statute, Don's.
However, this can get rid of Franos, and when Tommy dies, Franos will be a terrible man.
"I'll never tell anyone where I heard about it." Lodge said.
Thayer thought for a moment, then said, "Leah lives in one of my family's hunting houses in the Sierra Nevada. Don't take any action until we finish Tommy, though. ”
"Of course, I'll get an advance payment of 200,000 yuan right away, right?" Lodge said.
"Yes." Thayer said.
"Sounds good! There's a catch. If the Eastwood family comes to hold me accountable, I'll throw you out. Lodge said.
"Don't worry, if I hear about it, I'll kill you first. Okay, we need to make a detailed plan. Thayer said.
Things were exactly as they planned.
Thayer felt a wave of ecstasy that he had never felt before when Thayer fired six bullets at Tommy #Mitnick, and when Tommy muttered and scolded him for being a "dog *mongrel*......
For the first time, Leah deliberately disobeyed the orders of his boss Frans #Mitnik, but it was inevitable.
Detective Rocky goes to the hunting house again and asks about Maxres's death.
Leah said that he didn't know Macrores at all, and that he just happened to be in the hotel lobby that time. Rocky patted him on the shoulder, then gave him a light slap in the face, and said, "Well, you little bitch, I'm going to slaughter you soon." ”
In Leah's mind, he sentenced Rocky to death, no matter what else happened, as long as he knew that he would be lucky in the future, then he must let Rocky not survive.
(To be continued)
