"What the hell is going on?" On the way to Holt in his own Bugatti Veyron, John Baxter was also asking this question. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"It happened suddenly, and I didn't get any more information," Antonio replied in the passenger seat, frustrated. "All I know is that he seems to have been caught stealing something. It is not clear whether this is really the case, what was stolen, who was caught, etc. ”

"Stealing, how could he steal?" Old Baxter only thought that this reason was simply absurd. "He's a core member of our Baxter Gang now, and he's just gotten so much bounty, so he's not short of money at all!"

"I think there are two possibilities." Antonio held up two fingers, "First, he may not have stolen money, but something with special effects in the ruins, similar to the Mystery Ball."

"The second is that this time it wasn't Holt making up an excuse. Their purpose is just to catch Lin Yuedong, and this reason is just what they use to fool us. ”

"Which one do you think is more likely?"

"Father, it's not about which is more likely, it's about which is more likely to be good for us."

"You mean ......"

"Even if the facts are the second possibility, we have to take the first possibility as the truth." Antonio said categorically, "Because only in this way can we get Lin Yuedong back from the Holt Company!" ”

John immediately understood what his son meant. Whatever the truth, Holt's move has already damaged Baxter's prestige. Lin Yuedong was their core personnel, but the Holt Company captured him without even saying hello, completely ignoring Baxter.

If Baxter can't get Lin Yuedong back, his prestige will be gone, and the current personnel will begin to deviate from morality: a gang that can't even keep the core personnel, who would dare to work for him? What's more, with Lin Yuedong's strength and brains, he has long been determined to be the general of Baxter's future territorial expansion, and from this point alone, they can't lose Lin Yuedong.

Therefore, they must get Lin Yuedong back, but they can't turn their faces with the Holt company, so they can only put on a tough attitude and strive for a favorable outcome of the negotiations, and on the other hand, they must also give the two sides a step down, so as not to really collapse in the end.

Baxter and his son went to the Holt Company to negotiate to show a tough attitude, and Lin Yuedong's excuse of theft was a step prepared for both parties. With such preparations, even if the Holt company really intends to detain Lin Yuedong, looking at Baxter's tough attitude and logistical needs, it may also go down the slope because of this excuse, and the possibility of successful negotiations will greatly increase.

"But if it's really the second possibility......"

"If it's the second possibility, it only means that Holt may really be planning to turn against us. In this case, even a negotiation is extremely dangerous. Father, when you come out, I'll ask you to bring a few more bodyguards, so that if the Holt company really plans to turn around, you can also forcibly kill it, but you have to listen to it, and say that the soldiers are fast and fast. Antonio grumbled.

"Hey, when I came out, I didn't expect to get the possibility that the company would turn against us, I also thought that this should be a misunderstanding, as long as the misunderstanding is solved. I'm getting older, and my head can't keep up. Old Baxter patted his head, and suddenly pulled the car to the side of the road with a slam of the brake.

"Father, what are you doing?" Antonio said.

"Get out of the car, this negotiation is extremely risky, and we can't let both of us fold here. If there was an emergency, someone would have to be left behind to lead the Baxter Gang. I'll be alone in the negotiations, so you can go back first. ”

"In that case, I'll go." Antonio immediately said, "The Baxter Gang can live without me, but they can't do without you." ”

"You're wrong, the Baxter Gang may have been able to live without me in the past, but that's not the case anymore. Antonio, your abilities have surpassed mine, and I am relieved to hand over the Baxter Gang to you. ”

"Father's ......"

"Go ahead, no matter what the outcome of this time is, the Baxter Gang is yours, don't let me down, son." The elder Baxter kicked Antonio out of the car without saying anything, and then kicked the accelerator and galloped away.

Antonio looked at the Ferrari's departing body and felt the urge to cry. The Holt company is unpredictable, and the next time he sees his father's corpse, he may see his father's corpse.

But he forcibly suppressed this urge, his father had already handed over the Baxter gang to himself, and he could not let his father down.

I hope I and my father are just worrying about nothing......

He turned and walked in the direction of Baxter Manor, intending to see if he could catch a ride or grab one.

But before he could take two steps, there was a roar behind him. Antonio looked back in amazement, only to see a red convertible driving towards him, then slowly stopping beside him. In the driver's seat, one of the prettiest girls he had ever seen in his life poked her head out and whistled at him: "Yo, handsome guy, what's the matter, robbed by robbers?" I'll give you a ride! ”

Antonio has whistled at a girl a lot in his life, but this is the first time he has been whistling by a girl. He laughed a little and said, "Okay, thank you then." ”

"No thanks, I didn't carry you for nothing. To tell you the truth, this is my first time in Saint-Miguel, and after entering the city, how about you make me a tour guide? The girl suggested.

"Tour guide? Okay, but I don't necessarily have time, I can let my men show you around. Antonio agreed.

"Yohe, don't you see it, you still have subordinates?" The girl blinked wide-eyed and said with some curiosity.

"Of course." Antonio jumped into the passenger seat and held out his hand to the girl, "Meet me, my name is Antonio, Antonio Baxter." ”

The girl shook hands with him, and the corners of her mouth hooked up a secret smile: "Is it the eldest young master of the Baxter Gang, who has been very popular recently?" It's an honor to meet you, my name is Leto! ”

――――――――――――――――

In fact, Baxter and his sons are indeed unfounded. When John arrived at Holt's company, there were no countless ambushes pouring out on both sides of the three-horn cannon, nor did he flash three hundred axes for the trumpet, but Abel invited him to the reception room in a serious but amiable manner, and laid out a few documents.

"Mr. Baxter, you have come in a hurry, and you must not know what is going on. Let me briefly introduce to you that Lin Yuedong of your gang tried to steal what we got from the ruins. This is the relevant information and photos of that thing, this is the moment when the person was stolen and obtained recorded by the recorder on our body, and this is Lin Yuedong's own confession. He clicked on a few pieces of information one by one.

John Baxter picked up a few documents and looked at them one by one. The first document depicts something similar to a scepter, a short golden scepter with a silver winged Ouroboros coiled on its head, and the annotation says that it was found in the ruins, and it is suspected that the scepter used by the ancient Mayan civilization in some kind of ritual, has the effect of amplifying superpowers to a certain extent.

The second document is a few photos, ranging from infrared thermal imaging to photos of very low-resolution cameras, which completely record the entire process from Lin Yuedong's theft to his arrest. Judging from the photos, it seems that Abel personally took action, no wonder Lin Yuedong's ability was so easily captured.

The confession of the third document is nothing more than a pen recording of this process, and finally adding Lin Yuedong's own signature.

It seems that it is the first case, it is not the Holt company that intends to turn against us, John breathed a sigh of relief and thought with some relief.

I heard Abel continue: "Originally, we allowed him to come in and visit because of the friendship between your gang and us, but we didn't expect him to do such a thing, which really disappointed us. However, we also believe that this is just his personal behavior and has nothing to do with your gang. ”

John hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, yes." I've never heard of it, and I'm not stupid enough to instruct him to come to Holt to steal. ”

Abel nodded: "We think so too. Considering that he didn't actually succeed, and considering the friendship between your gang and my company, we decided to keep him in prison for a few days and give him a slight punishment. ”

"In prison," said John with some hesitation, "can I take him back and lock him up in our own place?" Rest assured, I won't let him go, he deserves some lessons. ”

His core personnel are locked up in other people's prisons, and it's a little awkward to think about it.

Abel said categorically: "There is no room for negotiation on this point, this is already a very loose condition, and it is set by the supervisor himself, and it cannot be changed." And Lin Yuedong himself has already agreed to this condition. ”

"And he agreed?" John was a little dissatisfied, how could this Lin Yuedong, who was obviously a member of his Baxter Gang, agree to stay in someone's prison?

"Yes, if you don't believe me, I can take you to prison and ask him personally. I think you'd like to do that, and you should have a lot to ask him if something like this happens. Abel said playfully.

"That's true." John said calmly, "I have a lot of questions to ask, including the cause and process of the incident, and I bother you to lead the way." ”

"Please come with me."

Abel led John out of the makeshift slab house and towards the ruins. The surface of the ruins is a huge pyramid in the shape of a stone wall, at least hundreds of meters high.

Unlike ordinary pyramids, this pyramid has a huge square pedestal at the base, and the pyramid sits on top of the pedestal. There is a large door under the pedestal, and when you enter, there is a small path, the bottom two walls and the ceiling are made of stone, and on the stone walls on both sides, there are torches illuminated every other way, and the light is very dim.

After walking a little further along the slightly eerie path, you will reach the staircase, and go down the stone staircase for two floors to the lowest level of the excavated part of the ruins, the prison.

Prison is a real prison, not a synonym. There were many cells on both sides of the corridor, about eight or nine square meters in size, with stone walls on five sides, and only the one facing the corridor was a metal pillar and a metal door. The basic configuration of the cell is a stone bed, a bedpan, a stone table and a stone chair, and everything is complete.

The cells were mostly empty, and John walked all the way and saw only two of them inhabited by prisoners. Although it was a hurried glance, he noticed that the two prisoners were both women.

After arriving at the innermost part of the prison, John finally saw Lin Yuedong lying on the stone bed of a cell, seemingly closing his eyes and recuperating.

"This is it, I won't bother for the rest of it. When you go out, just go to the reception room and look for me. Abel bowed slightly and withdrew.

After Abel left, John knocked on the railing: "Hey, Lin Yuedong!" How could you do such a thing? ”

Lin Yuedong sat up from the bed and smiled: "Mr. Baxter, listen to my explanation." In fact, there is a very profound reason for this. ”
