Chapter 0206: Military Operations
Cantona looked at the pocket watch, he took it, put it in the palm of his hand, opened the lid of the pocket watch, and saw the pattern on the inside of the pocket watch lid, which was engraved with a very common sentence. "Happy birthday, dear Mr. Jonathan. "That's his handwriting, and Cantona gave him the watch on Jonathan's birthday, and he won't be wrong anyway.
Holding the pocket watch tightly in the palm of his hand, Cantona knelt on the ground, crying loudly, tearing his heart, and the only person alive in the cemetery in the dark night for a long time vented his inner grievances and thoughts.
The young man did not bother, turned his back, and witnessed a man crying.
When the crying faded away, the young man turned his head. "Mr. Cantona, let me introduce myself, Downing Stewart, I have brought you wine, you see. β
Downing's wine was brought to this former gangster, Uncle Jonathan used to sit in Edgar's place, controlled all the gangs, and was the greatest godfather of the gang, and Cantona was his right-hand man, his Vipers were one of the largest gangs, and if you want to do something against the gangsters who kidnapped Taylor, you must have someone who is familiar with the Darius gang, and Cantona is the one who does it.
Cantona was crying and didn't have the strength to stand up, Downing reached out to help the old man up, and handed the bottle to the other party, Cantona took the bottle, he wanted to read the label on the bottle, but his eyes were already quite bad, blurry and almost blind.
Tang Ning saw the other party's difficulty and took out a bottle of potion. "Come, Cantona, I'll restore you to the light. "The Elixir of Light restores light to the eyes.
When the potion was applied to Cantona's eyes, Cantona's eyes were no longer cloudy, a cloudy film had fallen off, and now his eyes looked like they were young and immaculate.
Cantona looked at the label on the bottle in the moonlight, crying and laughing, excited. "Wines from Bosnian wineries were produced 50 years ago, when Bosnian wineries had some of the best wines, and I usually drink them with Jonathan. β
He recounted that history, and couldn't help crying, and Tang Ning could only watch from the sidelines.
After a while, Cantona wiped away his tears and said incoherently: "It's terrible, it's something to be happy about, why should I cry, I should be happy." β
He wanted to let Downing into the hut, and the two of them had a drink, but Downing didn't want to enter the hut again. "Well, we can just moonlight outside, and that would make the atmosphere better. β
Cantona, of course, understood what he meant, and immediately went in alone and lit the oil lamp, took two cups, which he rinsed several times with water, and then went back outside, opened the bottle and poured two glasses.
After a few glasses of wine, Downing introduced the old man to Jonathan's current situation, and Cantona always sighed that his old friend was not even as good as him.
"Soon this will be over, and the bad guys will always get their due retribution, like me. Cantona summed it up.
Downing didn't understand the meaning of the sentence.
"Someone once came to me and asked me about the enemy, and he would make the opponent pay. Cantona told the young man about the fact that he had been approached in those days and asked about the enemy. "It won't be long before those vicious people go to jail. β
Downing wondered what kind of people would think about it, Cantona had spent many years here, and no one had ever asked, and it was simply whimsical that those people Cantona thought would be punished.
"Don't be naΓ―ve, Cantona, there are things we need to do ourselves, that's what I'm here for you, it's time for us to fight back, fight back strongly, get them punished, and get justice for you and Uncle Jonathan. Tang Ning pressed one hand on the opposite arm, and his eyes revealed anticipation.
Cantona was stunned, and as if he was a little frightened, he withdrew his arm. "I just want to simply get through the rest of my days and let the punishment be done by the enforcers, they've already asked me about the situation, haven't they? β
Cantona's rejection of the offer of revenge surprised Downing, but he quickly figured out that a man who had gone through years of pain and despair had been completely defeated by reality, and he had lost his confidence and courage and instead pinned his hopes on the rare man with a sense of justice.
"Don't you want to take revenge yourself?" Tang Ning seduced the other party.
Cantona shook his head. "I used to be a bad person, and now I deserve it, and it's God's decision, and it's all my own fault. β
It looked like Cantona had decided to repent of the mistakes he had committed in his former gangster career, which was not what Downing wanted, and got up to look at the man in front of him. "You are wrong, if God represents justice, the people who should be punished should not only be you and Uncle Jonathan, but also those who hurt you should be punished in the same way as you, if everything you and Uncle Joansen suffered was God's decision, now I am here to seek revenge on you, this is also God's decision, otherwise I would not appear, what do you think. β
Cantona was silent, and Downing had to use some means. "Well, Cantona, if you're going to rot here, then I'm not here, and you'll have to give me back that pocket watch, you don't deserve it. β
Cantona had taken the watch from his bosom, which he had only gotten and was now going to hand it back, which hurt him considerably, and it looked like the young man was not going to give up.
At this time, some figures moved in the darkness, they entered the cemetery, Tang Ning noticed the movement, and took a look, who would come here in the middle of the night, but this matter seemed to be in his favor, took the pocket watch back, he sneered: "Look, Cantona, you didn't wait for those people to be punished, someone came to take your head, the god you believe in is asleep, and has no intention of presiding over justice." β
Cantona looked at the guys who were approaching quickly through the night, although his eyes were clear, but the potential vision in the night was still not as good as that of the young people, but he knew that these people should be unfavorable to him, he must have revealed the secret to others, the good Samaritan who learned about the situation from him was killed, and then they found themselves, wanting to kill themselves who leaked the secret, and eliminate the hidden danger forever.
"Hurry up and make a decision, either take revenge with me and do something good with your last life, or be killed by them, two ways. Downing was afraid that those men weren't coming to kill Cantona, so he had to hurry up and intimidate them to avoid revealing them.
"There are so many of them, we are not opponents. Cantona finally relented.
Downing got the answer, he had to deal with these guys as soon as possible, turning over and riding the dark horse Rossi. "Uncle Jonathan gave me a lot, and the situation didn't get out of hand. He waved his whip.
The black horse galloped in the cemetery, and those who moved towards the hut saw it. "Hurry up, catch him, don't let Cantona run. "These people are indeed here to kill the poor grave keeper.
Those guys chased and intercepted, trying to stop the big black horse, and soon a clear sound sounded, people kept dying in the cemetery, and Downing's musket kept pulling the trigger, this was a massacre, originally their owner thought that killing a grave keeper was a fairly easy thing, so they sent them to be just some guys with average skills, but they didn't expect the other party's strength to be so strong.
There were ten people in total, and Tang Ning quickly solved it, leaving no one alive, and rode a black horse to the front of the hut. "Come, get out of here, the cemetery is dead, and they will surely be counted on your head. β
Cantona was about to get on his horse, when he suddenly remembered Kira in the house, ran into the house, picked up his little friend and went outside, and after getting on the horse, the black horse Rossi left the cemetery.
Those people were indeed sent to kill Cantona just now, and the main messenger was Edgar, Edgar received a letter from Antonucci, someone leaked some secrets between gangsters and officials, and then planned to report it, then he had to kill the person who leaked the secret first, and the only person he could think of who knew about it was Cantona, who had been in the cemetery for decades.
Of course, not only that, Edgar also had to deal with troubled military bosses, and he had to discuss this matter with his companions.
Inside the Dark Palace, there were only two of them this time, and Edgar said angrily, "Look at the good deeds of your people, he almost caused disaster to my gangsters. β
The other man, wearing a black cloak, looked at the envelope that Edgar threw in front of him. "What do you want?"
Edgar angrily slapped the table. "Teach him a lesson, don't let him spoil my good deeds, know that now I'm dealing with our common enemy, that young man is enough of a headache, I don't want your people to cause me trouble, otherwise I'll take care of it myself." β
When the conversation in the palace ended, there was a major earthquake in Darius City, and the military decided to eliminate some evil forces in Darius City, and directly use the army to solve the gangster organization in Darius City, which was the first case.
Originally, the military was not supposed to meddle in local affairs, but this time Coman thought very carefully, he approached the governor of Darius City and asked to sign this document, otherwise he would be stabbed into the deal between the governor and the gangsters, and let the higher-ups investigate him.
In the face of this threat, the governor of course chose Coman between the two, after all, this military boss is even more difficult to mess with, as for Antonucci, he is just a gang member, and it is not a big deal to die, just take a bribe.
The direct use of the army to eliminate the gangsters, this is what Coman said to do it himself, obtained the Governor's signature document, and the military has already begun to operate overnight.
Many local gangsters in Darius City were arrested by the military, and Koman's order was to be executed on the spot if they resisted, and for a time Darius City set off a lot of waves, especially those civilians, they all raised their hands in favor of the decision of the military bosses, and even the local newspapers vigorously advocated it.
The gangs in Darius City are scattered and flee, while Coman interrogates some of the gang members in an attempt to collect Antonucci's gang identification, after all, Antonucci is still a banker on the surface, and he cannot directly arrest him, he must find suitable and strong evidence.
However, these low-level gangsters know very little about this kind of thing, and Antonucci rarely issues orders directly to the gangsters for activities that violate the law, all through some middle-level subordinates, who are quite loyal to Antonucci and hardly reveal any truth.
