The shocking news of the assassination of the Governor of Guama a few days ago caused great uproar throughout the West Indies.

As a major sugarcane producing region, Guama has a lot of business with many U.S. sugar companies.

Industrial tycoon Cornwall once described the Governor of Guama Island as a 'good friend of the United States'.

Not long ago, the Governor attended the annual dinner of the Mayor of St. Denis.

While America's business magnates were talking about the Governor's death, a cargo ship from Guama Island quietly docked in an obscure harbor near St. Denis.

A few minutes later, three sneaky figures disembarked and disappeared into the night.

They managed to steal three horses and fled until they reached the depths of the swamp, where they stopped at the small fishing village of Rakai.

"We survived!"

There was irrepressible excitement in Ducky's tone.

Javier said with trepidation: "Barely survived." ”

Maika asked, "What do we do next?" ”

The three of them were extremely embarrassed at this time, and they were exposed to the sun at sea for many days, so that they successfully changed from white to red, and there were many bursts of skin on their faces, and even Daqi, who usually pays the most attention to appearance, was also a raunchy and sloppy appearance.

On the day of the bank robbery, relying on Arthur's firepower to attract the law enforcers, Ducky and the others managed to escape, but they broke Lenny and lost John halfway, and the rest of them hid in an abandoned apartment in a panic.

It wasn't until late at night that I dared to come out to check the situation.

But by that time, the whole city had been put under martial law, and all roads out of the city were blocked. In desperation, Ducky had to adopt a roundabout strategy and sneaked into a coal ship bound for Cuba with his younger brothers.

As a result, during the voyage, the ship encountered an unprecedented storm and finally sank.

The good news is that the Ducky and the others escaped into the lifeboat in time, but the bad news is that all the money they just stole from the bank is buried at the bottom of the sea.

However, their bad luck apparently did not end, for the place where they landed was called Guama.

In the mouths of America's business magnates, Governor Guama was a kind and capable Spanish gentleman who brought peace and prosperity to Guama; Treat workers well; Concerned about the rights and interests of women on the island, she is an open-minded humanitarian.

But in fact, the governor of Guama imposed military rule on the island all the year round, violently suppressed all opponents, and the sugarcane plantation workers under his name worked at least 14 hours a day, men and women were treated equally, and the African 'benevolent monarchs' were compared to him.

Not long after they arrived on the island, they were discovered by the Governor's guards.

In general, as a 'good friend of the United States', Governor Guama treated the Americans favorably, and did not directly stuff the Ducks into the plantation as drudgers.

Instead, they locked up and waited for the identity to be ascertained before making a decision.

It's a pity that the identities of Daqi and others have not been investigated, and one of them is a wanted criminal registered by law enforcement.

In order not to be exposed, they began to save themselves.

Perhaps because of the exhaustion of bad luck, something good finally befell them.

Unable to endure the oppression, the local natives of Guama Island rose up one after another with the intention of overthrowing the evil rule of the Governor.

Taking advantage of the chaotic situation, Daqi and the others seized the opportunity and fled decisively.

But because the situation was so chaotic, in the process of escaping, Bill was hit by a bullet from nowhere and died on the spot.

This was a fatal blow to the morale of the Fan Gang, which was not high.

Seeing that his men have lost their fighting spirit, Ducky is determined to take revenge!

With his incorruptible tongue, he reached a cooperation with the local natives, and Fan Bang found a way to kill the governor of Guama, and in return, the natives were responsible for finding them a boat back to America.

The final result speaks for itself, the governor is dead, and Ducky and the others return to the United States, where they want to flee day and night.

As for what to do next, Pip King has a new idea.

So as soon as Mika finished speaking, he replied, "Pinkerton definitely didn't think we'd come back, they would think we'd be gone." ”

"We still have a lot of cards in our hand that haven't been played!"

"We just need to put some more money in our pockets and get out of this hellish place."

"With no money and no companions, sooner or later they will arrest us one by one, you should understand this."

"We need to be apart for a while, keep a low profile, and then join up with the others."

"That's my plan!"

Javier listened for a long time, and found that Ducky was still the same cliché, and couldn't help but complain: "We've gone too far, Ducky, and what we're doing now is different from what I originally thought." ”

Hearing the Mexicans say this, the bearded Daitch immediately fell into an inexplicable mania.

"We are in a difficult situation, and only in this way can I protect everyone."

"Listen, I'm going to kill for my family, and you can criticize me if you want to do that."

"But I'm not going to change because that's who I am."

"Do you have any other opinions?"

"Mika?"

Maika didn't speak, her eyes a little thoughtful.

Javier was equally silent, bowing his head and fiddling with the dagger in his hand.

Seeing that no one objected anymore, Ducky nodded in satisfaction, and the previous mania was gone.

"Then do as I say, split up, and finally meet up at Mount Rono Camp."

"Kids, don't delay, get moving!"

At his urging, the other two left the small fishing village where they were hiding.

Javier wanted to talk to Maika about Ducky, but the other party disappeared without a trace before him.

There was no way, he had to go alone.

It's just that the destination of the Mexicans is not Mount Rono in the north, but in the woods in the south.

After arriving at the place, looking at the dilapidated abandoned manor, Javier's face flashed with a little nostalgia.

But soon, he retracted his expression and pulled something out of the crack in the wall next to the steps.

A silver-gray oval object with a metallic sheen on it, with a button and a green signal light on it.

Javier pressed the button and tentatively raised the object above his head, strongly doubting that it would work.

And it turned out to be very effective.

It didn't take long for a ghost dog dressed in black to suddenly appear in view.

Javier didn't even know how he got here.

After confirming that there was no one around, the Nether Dog said straight to the point, "Want to see Mr.?" ”

Javier nodded subconsciously.

"Follow me." Nether Dog turned and walked away, without any mud or water.

Javier was stunned for a moment, then hurried after him.

The last time he grabbed the train, he was shot and caught by the Nether Dog, and Han Sen gave him a condition that he couldn't refuse.

Javier fled to the United States because of his participation in the revolution and was persecuted by the Mexican government. Han Sen promised to give money to support his return to his hometown to fight the junta.

Hearing that he could continue to complete his unfinished business, Javier wavered.

As he used to say to himself:

"If we have to fight, we will fight happily, if we have to escape, we will slip away, if we have to die, we will see death as home, no matter what, we will be free in the end."

Javier longs for freedom, and at the same time wants to bring freedom to the people of his homeland.

At this point, he has become an undercover agent in Cao Ying's heart in Han.

The reason why he is not called a traitor is because Javier has never betrayed the gang, let alone Ducky, and Leon does not need him to do anything deliberately, just that he needs to continue to stay in the Fan gang as before.

Like a shadow, always dormant.

But this trip to Guama allowed Javier to see another side of Daci, which made him very uneasy, so he finally took the initiative to contact Leon.

Mexicans are looking for a way out for themselves, and a smart person like Maika who is good at judging the situation will not be idle.

He, like Javier, did not rush to Mount Ronor, as Ducky had said, but ran to a trading post called Van Horne.

This place is not far from the mouth of the sea, and is the shipping point of the mine owner of Anisberg.

What's more, Van Horn has a team of Pinkerton detectives stationed all year round.

Micka finds a random child playing on the side of the road, gives him some money, and asks the child to send a message to Pinkerton: he wants to see Milton.

The name was false, but Milton knew who he was.

Some time ago, when the Fan gang watched the execution of the boss of the Olympic gang, because of Arthur's pardon, Maika had a quarrel with John and Javier, and then left the gang in anger.

I wanted to find a place to relax, but I was caught by Pinkerton, who had been squatting outside Rhodes for a long time. Maika couldn't bear the torture and was punished. The reason why the law enforcers came so quickly in the St. Denis bank robbery was because he informed Pinkerton in advance.

In addition, he also betrayed the information of many gangs, such as the location of the Shade Beauty.

And now, Maika also noticed that Ducky's state was a little strange, so he wanted to add insurance to his own life.

The kid who got the money happily went to inform Pinkerton.

Maika herself walked into the tavern of the Trade Post, sat down at the table in the far corner, and waited patiently.

About an hour later, several men in long black trench coats and bowler hats walked in, led by Pinkerton's senior agent Andrew Milton.

He quickly locked on to Maika's position and strode over.

"It's really bold that you dare to come back."

The rest of the Pinkertons began to clear the venue, driving out all the guests, even the tavern owner.

The boss dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak, so he had to close his door temporarily.

When the guests were gone, Maika raised the brim of her hat, revealing her ugly face.

"I don't want to come back, but who wants me to have a boss."

Milton didn't bother to pay attention to his pun, didn't even sit down, and asked directly: "Where is Ducky van der Linde at the moment?" ”

Maika laughed, "Don't you want to know where we've been all this time?" ”

"I don't have time to hear you talk about your escape, criminal!" Milton slammed the table: "If it weren't for the fact that there was still some value, you would have been hanged by me a long time ago!" ”

Maika shrugged fearlessly, "Okay, okay, you're the boss." Let's be honest, we went to Guama Island, does that sound familiar? ”

Milton's face changed: "Governor Guama was killed by you?" ”

Maika immediately raised her hands: "It has nothing to do with me, it was Mr. Van der Linde who did it." ”

Milton pondered for a moment and sat down across the table: "The death of a Spaniard is not in our Pinkerton's hands, I just want to know where Van der Linde is." ”

"Perhaps." Maika glanced around and deliberately lowered her voice: "You asked me to betray the gang's information, I did it, and it's time to fulfill your promise." ”

Milton replied indifferently: "I asked you to assist us in apprehending Dutch and the rest of the Fan Gang wanted criminals, did you do it?" Still want me to make good on my promises? ”

"Arthur Morgan was pardoned because he was favored by a big man, not what he had done. As for you as a rat in the gutter, what qualifications do you have to bargain with me! ”

When Maika heard this, she suddenly showed a gloomy expression, and said in her heart: "Hehe, I know that things are not so simple, you can get a pardon by catching a few wanted criminals, how can there be such a cheap thing in the world." Arthur, Arthur, I've found the handle this time. ”

Milton had seen thousands of outlaws, and he could guess what was in his heart at a glance.

"I don't care what your plans are, but you'd better tell me where your new camp is, or you won't want to walk out of this door today."

Maika was also simply and directly asked: "Rono Mountain." ”

"Exact directions." Milton said expressionlessly.

Maika still looked confused: "Please, Mr. Detective, I just got off the boat a few hours ago, and I didn't even bother to eat a bite before I came to see you, how can I know the specific location of the new camp." ”

"Well, I'll tell you when I get back."

Milton hesitated for a few seconds before he spoke, "This time tomorrow, I'll wait for you." ”

Maika bargained, "I never make a deal that loses money, and I should do you some good at the risk of being cleared by Ducky, should I do it a favor, Lord Milton?" Otherwise, where would I get the motivation? ”

Milton sneered, "We didn't find out about your betrayal of the gang, which is already the biggest benefit." ”

Seeing that the other party's face was getting more and more ugly, he said slowly: "Help us exterminate the Fan Gang, I can give you a month, how far you can go, and leave the United States from now on." ”

"Deal!" Maika accepted it when she saw it: "Happy cooperation, Mr. Detective." ”

With that, he got up and hurried out of the tavern.

Seeing this, Agent Ross bent down and whispered to Milton, "You don't need to send someone to follow him." ”

Milton replied, "No, his greatest handle is in our hands, and he will be obedient." ”

An outlaw chooses to cooperate with Pingkerton, and if the people on the road know about it, it will not only be Ducky and Fan Gang who want to kill him.

Saint-Denis-Tilce Estate.

Javier carefully recounted the experience of Guama Island.

Li Ang was quite surprised when he heard this.

In the absence of Arthur, Ducky and the others actually managed to escape from Guama, which shows that the Pip King still has something. In addition, Bill died, more than ten years earlier than the normal plot line.

But this simple-minded guy is dead, he is of little use to Leon anyway.

As the low-level player of all the combat members of the Fan Gang, Bill can only use the explosive technique with one hand, but in fact he is ordinary, and any Nether Dog can beat him.

While Leon was thinking, Charles was still talking, as if he wanted to pour out all the words in his heart along the way.

"Ever since Hosea's death, Ducky has started to feel like he's gone crazy."

"When he was on the island, he actually strangled to death an old indigenous woman who showed us the way."

"Although it was the old woman who went back on her word and wanted to ask for more money."

"But he. . . Nor can it."

"Anyway, I think he's changed, and he feels very strange to me."

“.”

Leon patiently listened to the Mexican's chatter and said, "Very good, Javier, well done." Now go back to the gang camp and repeat to Arthur what you just said to me, word for word. Can it be done? ”

Javier was stunned for a moment, then promised, "Yes." ”

"Then go ahead." Li Ang served tea to send off guests.

The Mexicans came to the mansion so inexplicably, and they were sent out inexplicably.

The Nether Dog, who had picked him up, was once again responsible for escorting him away from St. Denis, in case he was targeted by the law enforcers.

Before parting, Nether Dog said a word to him.

"In a week at most, you can go and talk to the colonel about returning home."
