Chapter Twenty-Eight: The End of the Song Disperses
The money and people are gone.
Yes, that's right, when several people work together to open the mezzanine of the floor, the tens of thousands of dollars and Ella are gone.
John looked back at the reactions of several people: Ducky had almost fainted, and Beth's was on the verge of crying.
"It's almost over." Bolich turned to the tone of a drunkard.
"I think we should look for more clues in the neighborhood." John said.
"Ella...... My Ella. Beth, on his knees in agony, grabbed his face with his hands in despair and whimpered.
Ducky stood up at this time, and his eyes fiercely hooked Beth, who was in grief: "The lives of others are hanging by a thread now, and you still feel sorry for your wife?" β
"Ducky, isn't Ella also uncertain at the moment?" John persuaded.
"I remember you've been tricking us into taking that money back for gold, right? Everyone rejected you with great certaintyβwe had given you enough face, and you told your unassertive woman to take the money and take it for herself while we were away, and I knew you would have bad intentions, and even the lives of everyone would not satisfy your greed! Hum...... Don't even think about getting out of this house today! Let your wife take the money and reunite with the hooligans of Beggar's Street!"
Boss looked at Dutchy, his eyes full of indescribable sadness and anger, and when a hot tear rolled down from the corner of his eye, the little butler, who usually never dared to talk back to the boss, gradually clenched his fists and said something he had never dared to say before: "Daqi, you are a powerless waste, you are the beast that killed everyone." β
Fantesey pulled out his pistol to give Boss a shot, but was pressed down by Ducky.
"Good! If you want to defend the bitch who killed that day, then we can't avoid a hand-to-hand duel, and today only one of us can walk out of this house with the truth. β
John, Fantesi, and Bolich were called out of the house and waited patiently for Ducky and Boss to duel on the rooftop. Suddenly so many things happened at once, John's mind was a mess, the only thing that was certain was that things did not go according to the route planned by Ducky, and now the conflict between Boss and Ducky has been intensified, if it continues like this, the gang will only have the only ending of disbanding. John shared his thoughts with Bolich and Fantesi, who nodded in agreement.
The orange sun sets, and the sky is greeted with a brief blue halo after sunset, which is the most relaxing moment, but in a moment the lovely blues are about to be swallowed up by the endless black.
Finally Ducky slammed the door and came out, with more blood stains on his clothes, and St. Denis added another man who died tragically tonight.
"I've thought about it for a long time, if we go back, we will die, and if we go away, we can save the lives of a few of us." Daqi wiped the corners of his mouth and said, "I am a carefully selected brother, you have not dragged your family in the gang, and your combat effectiveness is the strongest, just now I solved a crying sissy, and now the gang has finally completed the reduction." β
"What do you mean, we're not going back to the manor to save people?" John asked, a little incredulous of what Ducky said.
"Yes, not really, we must get out of Lemoen all night, because Streich and Lemieux will not avoid a fierce battle tonight."
"Ducky, you shouldn't abandon your brothers anyway." John said.
Bao Liqi patted John's shoulder: "Brother, saving your life is the most important thing now, and going back at this time is undoubtedly going to die." β
John thought for a moment, and then said resolutely: "Even if I can't save those people, I won't follow you as a deserter." β
Seeing that John had made up his mind, Ducky spread his hands and said, "It doesn't matter, you have the ability to decide whether to stay or not, and it is just a further downsizing of the Vanderlinde Gang." β
The four of them descended down McMaha Street, and at the intersection at the end, Ducky stopped a sullen John Coaster.
"Brother, I guess that's what I can call you. I did misunderstand and humiliate you before, but Van der Linde helped you provide you with shelter for more than half a year, which can be regarded as compensation for you. Brother John, I have long found out that you are different from others, I can see that the flame of revenge burns in your eyes, but no matter who you want to take revenge on, I just want to advise you to implement it as soon as possible, there is not much time left for us. With the rapid pace of technological progress in the surrounding states and the aging of our bodies, we must not be like everyone else in this land who has no choice but to accept that enthusiasm is extinguished by the rings of history. β
