Chapter 57
After coming out of the bar, Lin Yuedong began to revise his plan in his mind. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Originally, he planned to enter the world, quickly go to the people of the Guardian Clan to make peace, and then borrow their power to have a big battle with the enemies of the Demon Clan. But now it seems that the ruins have been dug up, and the Guardians are afraid that they will not be able to count on it, and they can only borrow other powers.
The best targets are obviously the Holt Corporation, who are in direct control of the ruins, and if you can get a good relationship with them, you may be able to get the magic stone quickly. In addition, according to the bartender girl, the Holt Company is strong, and borrowing to fight is probably the best choice.
It's just that since the Holt Company is strong, and as long as it digs the ruins, it is impossible for him to help them in digging the ruins, so it is difficult to obtain a high status on the Holt Company's side, and it is even more difficult to borrow their strength.
Then the next best thing to do is to use Baxter or Rojos. The bartender girl said that they each recruited a lot of superpowers, presumably similar to the Exorcist Alliance, and if they were used well, they would be a lot of power.
Considering his real mission to "make the world a better place", if he can kill both groups of people like Eastwood in the movie "Red Dead Redemption" and liberate St. Miguel, he may be able to earn a lot of grades.
As for the opportunity to get in touch...... It seems to be right in front of you.
From the moment he took out the diamond from the bar, Lin Yuedong felt as if his eyes were on him, and he kept coming out of the bar. He deliberately turned into an alley, and unsurprisingly, two men rushed up from behind. One rushed up to stop in front of him, the other behind him.
"Friend, are you lost?" The person in front was wearing a yellow short-sleeved shirt, holding a pistol in his hand, aimed at Lin Yuedong, and smiled very brightly, "Hand over all your diamonds, I can kindly show you a way." β
"I thought I'd just proven that I wasn't easy to mess with." Lin Yuedong said calmly. He remembered this man, the one who had ordered a royal salute.
"You did prove it, but it wasn't enough. If you want to get along in St. Miguel, you've got to be better. "And at St. Miguel, you have to remember one thing - when Rojos wants to do something, they can always do it." β
"Rojos? Are you from House Rojos? Lin Yuedong asked.
"That's right, so if you don't want to be an enemy of the Rojos family, hurry up and hand over the diamonds." Huang short-sleeved urged.
Unexpectedly, Rojos's people came to him in order to steal money from him instead of giving him money......
Well, since they are so blind, let's take them as a vote!
"Thank you for the thoughtful reminder, and thank you for teaching me the truth of not revealing money." Lin Yuedong said unhurriedly, "In return, I will make good use of your teachings." How much money do you have with you? β
"What?" Huang Shortsleeve was stunned, not knowing what Lin Yuedong suddenly meant by asking.
"To avoid further trouble, I won't pay with diamonds anymore, but I don't have much money on me, so please lend me a little money to spend." Lin Yuedong said lightly.
Huang Shortsleeves was stunned, and then laughed with the person behind Lin Yuedong.
"Hahahaha...... Your head...... Was it raining? We've got two guns here, you, you're ...... Hahahaha, what an idiot, even more stupid than Valerio, hahahaha......"
The two of them were laughing happily, when they suddenly felt a cold feeling coming from the gunman's hand. When they looked down, they were shocked to find that the pistol and their hands had been frozen into an ice cube and could not move!
"I don't know who is stupid enough to think that a gun can be used against superpowers. Hand over the money! Lin Yuedong said, intentionally or unintentionally exposing the desert eagle on his waist.
Huang Shortsleeves couldn't believe that someone in this city dared to do something to the people of the Rojos family, isn't this the old birthday star hanging himself - is it a long life?
"You're going to die, boy, you're going to die ugly!" He threatened.
"Perhaps, but if you don't pay, I promise you two will die even more ugly by now." Lin Yuedong said nonchalantly.
In the face of his threat, the two had no choice but to obediently take out their wallets with their hands that were not frozen and hand them to Lin Yuedong. Lin Yuedong flipped through it and found that the two wallets added up to a total of more than 800 US dollars.
"Compared to Valerio, you two are really poor." Lin Yuedong put all the money in his pocket.
"He's a loner and doesn't dare to keep his money at home...... Listen, boy, the Rojos family will find you wherever you go, do you hear? And at that time, I will dig out your brain with my own hands! Huang short-sleeved said sharply.
"It's a terrible threat, but it's a pity you can't do it." Lin Yuedong smiled and aimed the Desert Eagle at the forehead of the yellow shirt, "I just learned a lesson, only what I get from the dead is mine, otherwise it doesn't count." I'm a local person, so ...... Adios, Amigo (goodbye, friend). β
"Wait ......"
Huang Shortsleeves didn't expect that Lin Yuedong would not only dare to rob Rojos's people, but also dare to kill Rojos's people, his face suddenly showed a look of panic, and he was about to say something, but Lin Yuedong had already pulled the trigger without hesitation, and then turned his head and killed his accomplices.
After confirming that the two men were dead, he stepped out of the alley and was confronted by the same man who had reminded him of the rules.
"I'll just say you're talented, buddy. There aren't many people who can walk into the same alley as the Juan brothers and still come out. The man said with a smile.
"I'm curious about how they got to where they are now." Lin Yuedong said lightly, "They don't seem to have superpowers, aren't those who rob superpowers looking for death?" β
"Hahaha, Brother Juan also has a bit of an eye, they will evaluate a person's strength, and if they are too strong, they will not provoke." "It's just that it looks like the eyes of the two of them are not working on you. β
"It's always harder to see through a hooded person." Lin Yuedong said.
"That's right, but only partially. In this city, people who offend Rojos are useless even if they wear masks. No matter where you are, they will find you and hang yourself with your intestines. The man made a hanging gesture.
Lin Yuedong had already guessed what this person wanted to say: "That's a bit scary, it sounds like I have to find a good backer to protect myself." β
The man laughed, "You see what I mean, buddy. Come, let's go to Mr. John Baxter, we are short of someone as capable as you. β
Sure enough, it's here to recruit people! Not at all surprising. Since the two sides in the city are so hostile, the person who killed Rojos is equivalent to automatically having a vote from the Baxter Gang.
Lin Yuedong said: "I have to say first, it's not cheap to hire me. β
The man laughed, "It's okay, Baxter can afford whatever price you want, as long as you're worth it." My name is Simon and I feel like I'm a good friend with you. β
Lin Yuedong shook his hand: "This is very friendly. I'm Lin Yuedong, just call me Lin. β
Simon was a little surprised: "Wow, Chinese, I'm starting to understand why you wear a hood." In this kind of place, a yellow person is indeed very conspicuous. But it doesn't matter, Baxter welcomes people of any race and any country, and you will feel like you are at home. Do you have a mobile phone number? β¦β¦ No? Let's go buy a mobile phone first...... It's okay, I'm in for a treat. β
Lin Yuedong went back to get the motorcycle, and Simon drove the car and led him to Baxter Manor in the east of the city.
As one of the region's leading arms dealers, Baxter Manor is a great example of its status in the area, covering so much land that you can't see the houses inside from the gate. However, the specific decoration is practical, steel gate + granite fence + wall power grid + guards patrolling back and forth, it looks like it is ready to fight at any time.
In fact, they are indeed ready for a big battle. According to Simon, the conflict between Baxter and Rojos has recently begun to escalate, and the atmosphere in the city has become very tense, and sooner or later there will be a final battle, so both sides need all the manpower now, which is one of the reasons why Simon recruited Lin Yuedong.
When the two arrived, the boss of the Baxter gang happened to be out on business, so it wasn't until the evening that Lin Yuedong met one of the two bosses of St. Miguel, John Baxter, in the living room of the main building of the manor.
John Baxter looked to be about fifty or sixty years old, with a battered face and a gray beard, but his eyes still had a piercing look that reminded him of an eagle hovering over his prey.
"New faces, huh?" When John Baxter saw Lin Yuedong coming in, he didn't get up, and pointed to the chair opposite very casually, "Sit down, I heard that you killed Brother Juan?" β
Lin Yuedong said bluntly: "They asked for it." β
John laughed, "They often ask for trouble, but generally no one dares to take the risk of offending Rojos to clean them up. β
Lin Yuedong said: "I'm not an ordinary person. β
John agreed: "That's right, a fledgling young man, with great strength, is not afraid of heaven and earth, and never thinks about the consequences, how do you say that?" La Inexperiencia Hace Valientes A Los JΓ³venes (Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers. Note 1). β
Hearing such an evaluation, under the hood, the corners of Lin Yuedong's mouth hooked slightly.
What John Baxter said is exactly what Lin Yuedong tried his best to create an image of himself: a fledgling and powerful hot-blooded young man is the best target for any bigwig who has worked hard for many years, and it is not worth too much caution. Establishing such an image here at Baxter would be beneficial for his next actions.
Baxter's words undoubtedly show that Lin Yuedong has succeeded. But of course, he couldn't express this joy clearly. So like any impulsive young man, he said dissatisfiedly, "Are you criticizing me?" β
John denied, "No, I'm praising you." The city has been dormant for too long, and a catfish needs to be put in and active. But what I don't understand is that it seems that you already have a lot of money, what prompted you to come to this city? β
Lin Yuedong spread his hands: "What do all rich people want?" More money, of course! I heard that there was a ruin in this place that hid a lot of good things, but when I arrived, I found that it had already been taken by someone. I thought I'd have to look elsewhere for opportunities, but it looks like there's another way to make money. β
John nodded in agreement, "That's right, as you said, money with blood always comes the fastest." At St. Miguel, other people's blood is your money. The more they bleed, the more money you had, and the faster they bleed, the faster you earned. β
Lin Yuedong snapped his fingers: "Bingo, that's what I'm best at." Now the only question is, how much can you give? β
John seemed to be prepared, and took out a diamond weighing at least twenty carats from his pocket: "For a good hand like you, I have never spared money. Is this enough? β
Lin Yuedong raised his eyebrows: "Such a big diamond? Are you sure? β
John laughed, "Of course, I'm sure you're worth the price, and my old eyes have never missed anyone." Take it. β
As he spoke, he tossed the diamond over.
Lin Yuedong took the diamond and looked at it. The facets of the diamond are not smooth, there are less than 20 facets in total, and it looks like a classical air - only in ancient times when the diamond processing industry was not developed, such a rough diamond would be polished. Modern diamonds basically start with more than 50 facets, and they look much more gorgeous.
"It doesn't look like something modern," he asked. Did it come from that ancient ruin? β
John nodded: "That's right, it was the Holt Company that gave us as a dividend." Although they took the lion's share, some of the ruins that had been mined were still a fortune for us and Rojos. β
Lin Yuedong took the diamond into his arms: "I'll join." β
