Chapter 186: It's Time to Deal with This Old Cowboy
John returned to the United States at noon the next day, and found the California town where Bud had settled that evening.
As Sophie said, Bard's whereabouts were easy to find, and John easily got the information he wanted to know by making a casual inquiry around town.
Because the townspeople have a very good impression of Bard who always wears that silly and stupid cowboy hat.
In the eyes of the townspeople, the old cowboy has been in and out of the town's bars the most in the past four years, drinking day and night, a terrible person, and has no sense of time, from day to night, from night to day, that is a common thing.
Drunk until he had nothing, drank until he sold his house, and all that was left was his stupid cowboy hat.
Now, he has to work to pay for his next drink.
The place where I worked was at the Sky Cabaret at the end of the street.
John put on a hat and walked through the door of the Sky Cabaret.
The interior of the dance hall is dimly lit and the furnishings are relatively simple, which is too far from the night scene in the big city.
At this point in time, there was no one in the ballroom, just a bartender who stayed behind the counter and wiped his glasses.
"Hey, what do you need from the old fellow? I think it's better for you to come here in two hours, and maybe later if you want to find a girl. ”
The bartender greeted John politely.
John shrugged his shoulders and said, "Give me a beer." ”
The bartender filled John with a polished cup.
John took a sip, "Well, it tastes good. I'll go sit there for a while. Anyway, it's all about passing the time, it's the same early and late. ”
The bartender said, "Then please enjoy it slowly." The band won't come until an hour later. ”
John nodded, took his beer, and picked a random seat in the corner.
As the saying goes, knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent wins all battles, John wants to come here to observe Bard up close and see what kind of person the so-called California Sword God is.
It didn't take long for John to see a dilapidated scooter coming from the door.
A man in a cowboy hat got out of the car and walked straight into the ballroom.
John took a closer look, and the middle-aged man in the cowboy hat who came in was Bud.
Although John hadn't met Bard himself before, it was hard not to recognize him after the townsfolk and Sophie's descriptions, and his silly and stupid hat.
"Hey, Bud, you're late again, twenty minutes late. Dude, do you really have no sense of time? ”
The bartender kind of hated the iron and steel to Bard.
Bard chewed his tobacco leaves indifferently, "It's not that there are no guests coming to the door yet." ”
The bartender looked at John as he was seated, "Dude, isn't that right?" ”
Bud looked back.
There was indeed a person sitting in the corner, but that person was also wearing a relatively wide hat, and the light was dim, so it was impossible to see his appearance.
"Is it Bud?! Tell the to get me in! ”
There was a shouting from the office.
The bartender made a "good luck" emoji to Bard and said to him, "The boss called you." ”
Bard spat out the tobacco leaves in his mouth and walked in the direction of the sound.
"Boss, are you looking for me?" Bard leaned against the doorframe and looked at the boss.
The boss was looking at him as well.
After looking at Bard for a full ten seconds, he said, "I don't know which car wash you worked at before, and I'll let you in if you're twenty minutes late, of course, I don't think this car wash is mine, although I also have one." ”
Bard quibbled, "But...... There weren't any guests outside. ”
"No guests? Do you keep your eyes open and see, or are you trying to prove something to me? Or maybe you need to find another reason for yourself. ”
The boss looked at Bud and said.
Bud glanced back at John, who was sitting in the corner, and said to the boss, "I mean, I'm a bodyguard, I'm in charge of security here, and you see there's no one making trouble here now." ”
But the boss said, "Then you mean that you took my money but didn't do the work you were supposed to do?" ”
Bud said, "I didn't mean that. ”
"Not that meant? Okay, let's take a look at your schedule. ”
The boss said as he removed the calendar hanging on the wall, "Do you have a shift tomorrow?" ”
Bud said, "Yes." ”
"You don't." The boss crossed out Bud's name, "Because you didn't even know you had to go to work tomorrow." Do you have it tomorrow? Not tomorrow. What about the day after tomorrow? ”
Bud said, "I have it the day after tomorrow." ”
The boss crossed out Bud's name again, "No, you didn't have it the day after tomorrow." You don't have it the day after tomorrow, and you don't have it anymore either......"
The boss kept crossing out Bard's next week's shift on the schedule.
“……”
Bard was speechless.
The boss threw away the pen, "Now please go home and wait for me to call, and in a week, we'll talk again if you're sure you remember when you came to work." ”
"Alas......"
Bard sighed silently.
"And," the boss said, glancing at Bud's hat, "I remember I told you not to wear that stupid, stupid, donkey-like hat to me again." ”
Bud looked back at John, who was sitting in the corner, and said to the boss, "But the guest is wearing a hat too." ”
The boss said, "However, I am not the boss of the guests. I'm your boss. Therefore, I want you to leave this stupid and silly hat at home. ”
Bud had to take the hat off his head.
The boss said, "Good, now you can go." By the way, Rogie has something to do with you before leaving. ”
Rogie was the old bustard of the ballroom, and there were quite a few girls under her command, but few of them were good-looking, at least according to Budd.
Bud came out of his boss's office just as he happened to meet Loki coming out of the bathroom.
Rogie said to him, "I'm sorry Bud, the toilet in the toilet is blocked again, and the feces are flowing all over the floor, I want you to get it done as soon as possible before the peak of the flow of people." ”
Bud nodded, "Okay, I'll get it clean." ”
John sat in the corner and watched Bud take cleaning supplies and go into the toilet for half an hour, until the number of customers began to increase, and then he came out of it wiping his sweat.
John sat closer to the office, and he could hear exactly what was being said inside.
John thought to himself: The former California Sword God would have fallen to such a point, he didn't dare to attack when he was reprimanded by the boss, and he was assigned by the old bustard to clean the toilet, I don't know if his strength has shrunk seriously, I don't know if he can touch so much experience, specialization, and characteristics.
It's better to get a gun and kill him directly, and go to sign for his big brother Bill's big express as soon as possible.
It's easier to get a gun here in Lao Mei, far from being like exchanging an ordinary gun for fifty hotel gold coins on the other side of the book.
John spent only two gold coins to get a good hand(*) pistol and fifteen bullets.
Of course, the guns and bullets exchanged are untraceable, absolutely safe, and cannot be traced if they fall into anyone's hands.
