At Fort Worth Dallas Airport, Abel sat in the back of a Cadillac Escalade in the middle of the convoy that had come to greet him.

The Escalade is one of Cadillac's most successful flagship models and is currently the most recognized SUV by Americans.

The first few times he came back, he had been riding an F350.

But in fact, the F350 is a car that is very average in terms of comfort.

It's a premium tool car, a little better than the F150, but not much better.

After the previous two upside downs, Abel decided not to ride the F350 anymore.

The saloon was not suitable for the terrain of places such as the Sunnis Mountain Farm where he was going next.

Just let the bodyguards buy a few other cars here in advance.

In the future, in the city, I will take the Cadillac and Lincoln cars directly.

If you need to get out of the city, just escalade.

Compared to last time, he has a larger fleet of people and more vehicles.

There are a total of five vehicles.

Two F350s, a Land Rover, a Toyota Sequoia, and his own Cadillac Escalade.

The small accident he encountered last time made him pay more attention to his security work.

This time, such a large convoy was directly built, and two of the vehicles even had the highest level of weapons allowed by Texas law.

Mainly just in case, and the rock security side also sent a group of people in advance.

It's just used to protect the boss.

The convoy did not stop at the airport and was soon launched and headed for Fort Worth.

In downtown Fort Worth, Abel found Alexander's office.

Father, on his side, already knew he was coming.

Alexander and Dwayne were already waiting for him in the office.

David Jones, who had been here for the past few days.

He ran to the airport early to meet his boss.

and sat in the back of the Escalade with the boss, and introduced the matter to Abel halfway through.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Dwayne. And Daddy. After seeing the two, Abel smiled and waved hello.

Dwayne was polite, he was supposed to sit in his seat and drink coffee.

Seeing Abel's arrival, they even stood up.

Alexander didn't, just waved his son in response, and went on drinking his coffee.

"Huh? Colombia? Bring me a drink too. Abel walked up to his father unceremoniously, picked up his coffee and smelled it, and said directly with a smile.

Alexander ignored him, but a female bodyguard who had been working beside Alexander for a few days smiled and went to make coffee for the boss.

"Is the matter settled over there in New York?" It was only after Abel sat down across from him that Alexander spoke softly.

Abel nodded, "A little thing, it's OK." ”

With a smile, Dwayne watched the interaction between father and son.

After a while, seeing that the two of them did not speak again, one of the current Tarrant County councilors said:

"Abel, good news for you. Alexander won a big victory in the latest poll. ”

On the U.S. side, up to the presidential election.

When you go down to the election in a certain district of a city, you like it, and you all have the corresponding media to conduct polls.

This kind of poll is often a media manipulation to attract attention.

Sometimes, however, it is also a symbol of the likely outcome of the election.

"Oh?" Abel smiled and asked, "What is the big victory method?" Election season hasn't even started yet. ”

"The investigation shows." Dwayne smiled and said: "Alexander's approval rating, in the first survey, was 63%! ”

"Okay." Abel said with a smile.

"Good news indeed, a message to celebrate."

After watching the interaction between the two, Alexander suddenly said, "Alex asked you to go to Houston, he has something to look for you." ”

Abel, who was talking to Dwayne, paused when he heard him say this.

He looked at his father and saw that he was also looking at him.

"What's the matter?" Abel whispered.

"Don't you know what you're doing in New York?" Alexander lowered his voice, "When I heard my son say this, I was startled myself. ”

Abel shrugged, "Calm." It doesn't hurt to just meet each other. Trust me, Dad, it might be very helpful to you. ”

Dwayne didn't understand the meaning of the father-son conversation.

He didn't know that Abel and Alexander were not discussing the Tarrant County election at this time.

Dwayne couldn't understand, so he could only look at the father and son with a smile on his face.

Alex said the same thing. Otherwise, I'd like to give up this time. Alexander breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Abel and said.

Abel couldn't help but shake his head, it seems that the Texas consortium really has a huge influence in his hometown.

Even his father reacted so much when he heard this.

"Don't worry, Alexander, I'm measured." He said seriously.

Looking at his son like this, Alexander finally put an end to the topic.

Later, the three talked about the Tarrant County election.

Dwayne said it basically continued to develop.

Alexander steadied this time.

Because none of his competitors can get the support he can get in every way.

Abel thought to himself that if he could go to see those old fellows this time, it would be smooth.

Alexander's side is really stable.

Until then, it's hard to say whether it's stable or not.

After four o'clock, Abel directly offered to leave.

"I'm going to go back to Smith Farm and go to Houston tomorrow."

"Daddy, do you want to go back with me?"

Alexander nodded, "I haven't been back for a week. Just drop by, let's go. ”

The father and son said goodbye to Dwayne and walked out of the office.

Alexander sat in Abel's Escalade, and the convoy quickly disappeared from Dwayne's sight.

Looking into the distance, one of the current councilors of Tarrant County couldn't help but shake his head-

"Well, if only I had such a son."

Escalade, in the rear compartment.

After only father and son were left, Alexander looked at his young son.

He still couldn't help but speak: "Abel, are you really okay?" ”

Texas consortium, fine elsewhere.

But in Texas and the Southern states, influence really touches on all sides.

It is precisely because of the terrible understanding of it, even with the character of Alexander.

At this moment, I will also be a little worried.

"What's the problem? Daddy, have you ever heard of Peter Lynch and Warren Buffett. Abel said.

"Warren Buffett has, you can often see it on the news. Peter Lynch didn't, but I remember it like Warren Buffett. It's all Yankees, guys who are good at playing with money. ”

"That's it." Abel said, "These natives of Texas. Think I have the potential to be like these two people, and they want me to be their cash cow. ”

"So."

"As long as I can make money for them, then I am the most important treasure in their minds."

When Alexander heard this, he was silent for a while.

Then he gently patted his son on the shoulder and said:

"But I don't really like that. Kid, why don't we all go back to Smith Farm, it's too complicated outside. ”

Seeing Alexander say this, this time it was Abel's turn to be stunned.

He looked at the concerned expression on his father's face, and the years and time, and the traces left by the sun in the countryside.

After a few seconds, Able sighed softly.

Then his tone hardened:

"Daddy, I know what you're worried about. I also know you care about me. But I also ask you to trust me, I won't be a dog.

Even after that, I will be their leader, even their master!!

I don't know exactly what to say to you, but that's it.

That's why I came back last time and said I wanted you to help me.

Do you see what I mean, Daddy. ”

Alexander said: "I didn't understand it before, but now I understand. ”

"Just."

"Can I really do it?"

"Absolutely!"

Abel said firmly: "Look at Li Gen, he was just an actor before." What now? He was one of the most successful commanders in American history. ”

"What an actor can do, you can't? You don't want to be laughed at by your son, do you? Dear Father. ”

"Uh" Alexander was speechless.

"So be it." Abel patted his father on the shoulder and said with a smile, "It's a big deal, let's go home together to raise cattle when the time comes." ”

Alexander slapped Abel's hand away and ignored his grinning son.

For the rest of the journey, Alexander chose to sleep.

Abel looked out the window in a daze.

Just before the sun was about to set over the horizon, the convoy returned to Smith Farms.

Emily received the news early and ran outside to greet her husband and son when the convoy appeared.

After the car was parked, Abel directly pushed Alexander, with great force, and pushed the latter down.

They were all pushed down, and Alexander naturally woke up.

Then he jumped out of the car, greeted Emily with a smile, and gave his mother a big hug.

“FXXK！ I'm dreaming of Marilyn Monroe, and I'm being woken up by you! ”

Emily hugged her son and smiled happily as she watched her husband get out of the car scolding.

That night, Abel once again had a Texas-style dinner that his mother had prepared for him.

After dinner, John the Younger and his son John IV came to him.

Alexander wondered, "What is the matter with them?" ”

Emily, who had just come out of the kitchen and packed her things, said, "They should have come to me, and I asked them to come to me tonight." ”

"What's wrong?" Alexander asked, "Is there anything wrong?" ”

Emily nodded, and pressed the automatic door opening mechanism on the outermost gate of Smith Manor, allowing John and his son to enter.

While saying to the father and son here, "It's a Mexican wolf thing." ”

"Mexican wolves?" Able said, "What's wrong with them?" ”

Mexican wolves, Abel is no stranger.

It should be said that farmers in the southern region of the United States are no strangers to this wild animal.

The Mexican wolf is a subspecies of the gray wolf that belongs to the upper predators of the food chain and usually acts in groups.

They are mainly found in the mountains of the southwestern United States and northwestern Mexico.

They are also members of the largest wild canine family in the world.

This horde of wildlife used to be one of the biggest "pests" for rural farmers in Texas and several other nearby states.

They are much more threatening than coyotes.

The size of two coyotes is not more than one Mexican wolf in size.

They attack livestock and like to attack livestock cubs.

At the same time their size, coupled with the habit of being in groups.

Even if it's humans, it's sometimes troublesome to encounter them.

Unless you happen to have a gun in your hand and your marksmanship is okay, you can't be too timid.

In the past 100 or 200 years, this wild animal has long been killed and killed.

Among them, the Texas wolf, which is almost the same species as the Mexican wolf, was declared extinct decades ago.

Killed and exterminated by the Texans.

It's just that in the past ten years, with the rise of the concept of animal protection.

They are reborn, their colonies grow, and they become "pests" of the farmers again.

Rural Texas farmers aren't so talkative.

Plus Texas has its own laws, and it's not illegal to kill this animal.

Therefore, farmers often join forces.

When they find traces of this large "pest" in the vicinity, they will set out together to clean up and kill as many as they want.

Just like every year, everyone kills coyotes on a regular basis.

Faced with the doubts of her son and husband, Emily said, "Have you ever heard of the druids wolves? ”

Abel shook his head blankly, he had only heard of the druids, not the druid peaks.

The Druids are the wolves that the Druids have become?

Obviously not, Alexander nodded and said, "You mean, Little John, they're going to clear the druid peak wolves?" ”

"Yes." Emily explained to her son, "The Druid Peak Wolves are the names given to these wolves in the newspapers. It seems that there are more than 30 adult Mexican wolves, which is the largest number of wolves ever recorded. ”

"So the stakes are higher, and the farmers in the neighborhood have banded together. They all shot and hired a few hunters, and either killed them all, or drove them all away. ”

"Okay."

Abel nodded, he understood.

It's another typical group activity that Texans love, with a group of people going out to kill wolves.

This is probably one of the few pleasures in the boring life of American farmers.

Similar fun, there are also various weird competitions that are held every year.

For example, mud fights, cowboy gun competitions, moving rocks, moving tires, imitating the sound of the wind with arm sockets, spitting watermelon seeds and holding pig's feet, etc.

At this time, little John and his son walked in.

John Jr. was Alexander's godson, even though he was only fifteen years younger than Alexander.

If Abel hadn't been born late, he was only nine years older than John Jr.'s youngest sons.

It is estimated that he will also become the godfather of Little John's youngest son

After all, it is outrageous to let a nine-year-old child be the godfather of a newborn child.

That's it.

If you want to blame Alexander, he got married late and had children late.

Just like John, little John's father, was Alex's godson.

To put it mildly, John's family is the most trusted people in the Smith family.
