Chapter 15. Arrogant Hoover
The actual situation of Gaul and Victoria, Zhou Jinru can only rely on guessing, but there is one exception, that is, Kelsey.
Based on his understanding of the lynx, she is not a woman who is willing to suffer easily, and her indifference to Franklin's ridicule just now shows that Victoria's situation is not good.
But these words could not be told to Talat, he just said: "There are some questions that can be answered by observance." ”
As they spoke, an elderly man dressed in the costume of the Sargonpasha came to them "by coincidence" with a pasha dressed in a purple gauze.
"Talatpasha, this oasis has finally received its owner, and I am amazed at how ...... you are So ...... Young. ”
The elder clumsily thought about the vocabulary for a long time, and finally found a fairly accurate adjective, and Talat responded kindly, "Thank you for your blessings, Marem Pasha, I didn't expect to see you here." ”
"No, it's not an accident, I'm here to wait for you."
"Oh?"
Maren Pasha looked serious: "Whether it is Victoria or Gaul, you can talk peacefully, except for one person, Talat Pasha, you must be careful of him!" ”
"Who?"
"Hoover Benjamin, the son of a street girl and a prisoner, was extremely murderous and unscrupulous."
"I didn't expect that the dignified Maren Pasha would also chew on the root of his tongue behind others."
A loud voice came, Zhou Jinru looked in the direction, a tall figure was standing not far away, a light long windbreaker dragged down to the calf, lined with a snow-white shirt, and a pocket watch with a gold chain hung between his fingers, rubbing against multiple rings.
Hoover had an unruly face, and just by looking at his expression, he knew that this person would never be easily controlled by others.
He didn't mind what Mullen had described, and strode with his two guards behind him.
"You're right, Maren Pasha, my mother is a street girl, she has to pick up customers seven or eight times a day in order to keep me fed, I hated her, and I hated her, and then she got the source stone disease, and she couldn't pick up customers anymore, and then she died, and I killed her, because the source stone disease was in the terminal stage, and the pain and insanity were unbearable for ordinary people.
If that's why you're attacking me, how about gathering your men and we'll fight outside the Oasis territory? ”
Hoover had a smile on his face, but he said it in a tone that could freeze to death, and he unceremoniously pulled his handkerchief out of his jacket pocket, as if it was about to be thrown in Mullen's face in the next second.
"You barbarian!"
Mullen took two steps back, his voice trembling.
The quarrel between them alarmed some of the guests, and many looked away in embarrassment when they discovered that one of the parties was Hoover.
Hoover did not relent: "In your eyes, I am indeed a barbarian, compared to your human trafficking and smuggling weapons, my people have never done these dirty civilized deeds, if you are not convinced, call the other three, we will fight to the death!" ”
Mullen didn't respond at all, turned and left.
Talat remained silent until only Hoover remained where he was, and then he exclaimed, "Mr. Hoover, is this what you are introducing yourself?" Don't forget, I'm also a nobleman. ”
"What about the aristocracy, the nobility also has those who can speak well, and the nobility is not immortal."
Hoover's strength made the young Pasha feel a little uncomfortable, and he was about to say something, when he saw a guard behind the leader of the horse bandits suddenly show a fierce look on his face and roared: "What does a noble young master like you know, you don't know our pain at all!" ”
He reached out to grab Talat, and a deep voice came from his ear: "If you take a step forward, I will blind you in the eye." ”
Hoover's gaze froze, and the masked man standing behind Talat raised a finger, an ordinary person, suddenly gave him a great threat, and that finger gave people an irresistible illusion!
The leader of the horse bandits stopped the guards in time and said haha: "A puppet is not enough for Pasha to take it seriously, I heard something, tomorrow evening, there is a big gift for Pasha, it will be regarded as my apology." ”
Talat was shocked by the burst of momentum of Hoover's guards, and his face turned a little pale, but he still said: "Thank you, Mr. Hoover, tomorrow evening, I will wait for your gift." ”
"Walk the talk."
Hoover left with his guards, and Talat realized that his back was soaked in cold sweat.
"Mr. Four, if I didn't have you today, I would be unlucky."
This man's actions are fake, but the temptation of me is true.
Zhou Jinru didn't point it out, and said noncommittally: "He may not really want to hurt you, the four horse bandit leaders have their own ghosts and tear each other down, and before they divide the winners, you are the safest one." ”
Not to mention the truth or falsehood of what Hoover said, just by virtue of his ability to do whatever he wants, without ambiguity, Talat has a great sense of insecurity in his heart.
"Let's go to the main hall, it's still a long time tonight."
……
"How's that Mr. Four?"
"It's scary, it's hidden, it's definitely a master."
Hoover's eyes were deep: "He doesn't show his true face, he is powerful, and he can't see the number of roads, like an antelope hanging on its horns, without a trace, which reminds me of a kind of person." ”
The guard whispered, "What the leader is talking about is the Immortal Army? ”
"Well, that group of undead monsters, also wearing terrible masks, not easy to move, strong, loyal to that one, do you think this fourth gentleman will be an immortal army?"
"It should ...... No. ”
"Why?"
"The immortal army is infested, it will inevitably be wrapped in wind and sand, when Mr. Four started, there was not half a grain of sand, he spoke fluently, did not stutter, the meaning was clear, he should be a living person, the problem is that we have not found out his true face for the time being."
Hoover nodded secretly: "That makes sense, but in this way, the balance of the Oasis territory will be completely broken." ”
……
After walking a few steps, Talat suddenly asked, "Mr. Four, is what that Hoover said just now true?" ”
"What part are you referring to?"
"His mother's experience."
Zhou Jinru pondered for a moment and said seriously: "It's basically true, even more tragic than what he described." ”
Talat stopped talking, and after a few seconds, he asked, "What kind of Pasha would make someone like Hoover a little less?" ”
Zhou Jinru said without thinking: "Everyone has food, everyone has hope, live and work in peace and contentment, can dream calmly when you fall asleep, and live and work peacefully after waking up." ”
What he said seemed too far away to the relatively primitive Sargon.
