Chapter 259: You're Teaching Me to Do Things?
Arthur had only been to St. Denis once in the last ten days, and he and Mary had gone to the theater to see a show, and had never seen Leon at all. Besides, even if he did, it was impossible for him to know Leon's daily itinerary.
So when he heard that Cornwall, who was not dead, was asking Leon for help, Arthur knew that he was going to suffer.
Ducky was not much better than his own little brother, he had almost forgotten about Leon this person, and Cornwall's throat made him instantly recall the ubiquitous terrifying nightmare at the beginning.
After a fierce ideological struggle (mainly Datch), the two decided to abandon senseless resistance.
"Stop, we're surrendering."
The gunmen who were besieging them subconsciously looked at the boss.
By this time, Cornwall was almost recovered, and the newly grown head was hairless, like a wrinkled old egg.
With someone to support him, he was full of confidence, and he had long since lost the panic when he asked for help just now.
"Now I know that I regret it, it's too late! Kill them for me! ”
The gunmen immediately raised their weapons and fired at the location where the two Fan Gang were hiding.
Daqi, who was so crushed that he couldn't raise his head, had an idea: "We are surrendering to that gentleman, you are not qualified to decide what to do with us!" ”
The effect of this sentence was immediate.
Cornwall immediately ordered his men to stop the attack, and instructed the secretary to ask Leon for advice.
A few minutes later, the secretary who came out of the cabin said, "Sir, let you in and talk." ”
Daqi also had the confidence to tidy up his clothes and swaggered out of the bunker.
Arthur reluctantly followed him.
Although Cornwall complained, he did not dare to disobey Leon's order, otherwise the newly grown head would easily fall off again.
The interior of the expensive ship is decorated like a mansion.
Leon sat on a valuable leather sofa, red wine freshly shipped from France, and a carpet of Persian wool that cost more than Arthur's head at his feet.
Bayek stood beside him like a god, ready for orders.
At the bar opposite, waiters who work part-time as bartenders are busy, providing guests with a home away from home.
The three walked in one by one.
Cornwall and Arthur greeted each other politely, but Ducky laughed exaggeratedly, "Hahaha, Mr. Leon, it's a great honor to see you again!" ”
A barrage of compliments followed.
If Bayek's punch hadn't left a psychological shadow on him, he would have planned to go up and shake hands with Leon and hug him.
Seeing this, Arthur bowed his head in embarrassment.
He knew that Ducky's little trick didn't work for the man at all, and instead made himself like a troupe clown.
Sure enough, Li Ang's reaction was neither salty nor light: "Sit down." ”
After the three of them found their respective positions, he said, "To be honest, I don't want to get involved in the grudge between you, because it's a very meaningless thing for me. ”
"From today onwards, winning or losing depends on my ability, and I won't care anymore, understand?"
Leon doesn't seem to help anyone, but in fact, he is already very partial to Cornwall, if it weren't for him, Cornwall would have died today, and the group of stinky fish and rotten shrimp under his command couldn't stop the Fan Gang from breaking through, and the crying father who was killed called his mother.
But neither Cornwall nor Ducky were very happy with such treatment.
Ducky said first: "Mr. Cornwall cheats, how can he rely on his ability?" If he had relied on his ability, he would have died a long time ago! ”
The head can grow back after exploding, and it is obvious that Leon is helping Cornwall, but the Idea King does not dare to accuse him in person, so he can only use a relatively euphemistic language.
Cornwall understood what he meant, and sneered: "Spending money is also a skill, you can also try to exchange money for the gift of the gentleman, and no one will stop you." ”
The face of the big capitalist is undoubtedly revealed, but Ducky has no way to refute it.
Arthur didn't say a word, and honestly acted as a spectator.
Cornwall saw that Ducky had nothing to say, and became even more energetic: "Sir, I have no opinion on each ability, but Van der Linde shot me, I must return it!" ”
"I have prepared the share transfer agreement for the Heart of the Earth Oilfield, just waiting for you to sign it."
After hearing this, Daqi was immediately anxious, and his hand unconsciously put on the holster, which was blatantly spending money to buy his life!
Arthur hurriedly stopped him and cast a pleading look at Leon.
Cornwall felt that he had won the battle, and he had a smug expression.
A piece of oil field to buy Van der Linde to die, worth it!
Leon saw the reactions of several people, and then shook his finger to summon Bayek: "Which hand shoots the gun, which arm of him is wasted." ”
Bayek nodded and walked towards Ducky.
Cornwall was very unhappy with this way of dealing with it: "Sir, you are this"
Li Ang looked at him indifferently: "Are you teaching me to do things?" ”
Cornwall was sweating profusely.
At the same time, Bayek threw a fist to smash Arthur in front of him, grabbed Ducky's right arm and gently smashed it.
Mori's white stubble pierced the skin and exposed to the air, the luxurious carpet was stained red with blood, and Daqi let out a terrible howl as he hugged his unnaturally bent arm.
Leon frowned, feeling a little noisy.
Seeing this, Bayek picked up the rolling Ducky and the star-eyed Arthur and threw them back to the dock.
And gave Arthur an ultimatum: "You have two more days to get things done." ”
Not long after Bayek returned to the cabin, Cornwall was invited out, and the steamer left the dock in the direction of St. Denis.
His ship was requisitioned, and Cornwall had nowhere to vent his evil fire, so he had to target Ducky.
But when I asked the secretary, I found out that Arthur had already taken Ducky away.
"Why don't you stop them!"
"They said it was the gentleman who told them to leave." The secretary said aggrievedly.
Cornwall's face turned green with anger: "A bunch of fools, don't chase it yet!" ”
The secretary hurriedly turned around, but was stopped by him again: "Wait, get me Milton first." ”
On the other hand, Arthur knew that Cornwall would not let them go easily, so he immediately fled back to the beaver cave with Dutch, who had fainted in pain.
Javier, who was in charge of staying behind, was startled by the embarrassed appearance of the two and hurriedly asked what was going on.
Arthur briefly recounted what had just happened, and finally said, "I can't understand him more and more now, and he has no intention of negotiating today!" ”
Javier didn't know what to say, but sighed.
The two then tried to treat Ducky's arm, but the results were not satisfactory.
Bayek carried out Leon's order to the letter, saying that if he lost an arm, he would not let it move again.
Just when Arthur and Javier are at a loss, Mika returns.
"Arthur, what's the matter with you and Ducky? Why don't you wait for me? I almost died at the hands of the people of Cornwall! ”
As soon as Maika appeared, she began to ask questions.
In reality, however, he did not have any direct confrontation with the Cornish people, but met with Milton and informed him of the location of the beaver cave.
"Where's Ducky? Why didn't you see him? ”
Arthur brought him into the tent and let him see for himself.
Looking at Dutchy's obviously wrong arm and bloodless face, Maika's eyes widened in horror: "Why is this happening, it was fine a few hours ago!" ”
As he spoke, he grabbed Arthur by the collar and asked angrily:
"How the hell did you protect him!?"
Maika was indeed angry at this time, but not all because of Daqi, mainly for his own life.
After Milton knew the location of the beaver cave, he would definitely lead people to attack, and after Ducky fell, the only three people left not only lost their backbones, but also lost one combat power, and they couldn't stop Pinkerton's attack at all.
Maika was an informant for Pinkerton, but she didn't really want to change her ways.
Milton also knew this, not to mention that he had never promised to keep the informant safe, after all, bullets don't last long on the battlefield.
Thinking of this, Maika took the initiative to let go of Arthur and helped him straighten his folded collar.
"I'm really sorry, brother, I was a little impulsive just now, we should find a way to cure him as soon as possible."
Arthur didn't resist the whole time, because he really didn't protect Ducky.
At the same time, Bayek's ultimatum upset him.
Javier, who was a bystander, was much more sober and said, "We also want to cure him, but don't forget, Ducky is a wanted criminal, and he can't go to a regular hospital at all." ”
Maika stated her ultimate goal: "Amputation, it's the easiest, it's the only way we can do it, we have to get him better quickly." ”
He still remembers that Ducky didn't help him out and gave him a gold bar.
And amputation is indeed very trouble-free, it takes a hundred days to hurt muscles and bones, and amputation can be done once and for all in a few hours.
Arthur immediately refuted his suggestion: "Impossible, I don't agree, and Ducky himself won't agree." ”
Ducky is a very good-looking person, how could he be willing to become a cripple.
"Then what do you say!" Maika had the face I had done my best.
Arthur suddenly had a flash of inspiration: "Yes, Rhodes, let's go to Rhodes, I know the doctor there!" ”
Javier asked worriedly, "Are you sure he would be willing to treat Ducky?" ”
It is known that the town of Rhodes is Leon's territory, and Ducky's arm was abolished by Leon's order.
Arthur heard this, and fell into deep thought.
However, before he could come up with a result, a familiar voice sounded outside the cave.
"I'm Milton, a senior member of the Pinkerton Detective Agency, on behalf of the Cornwall Corporation and the federal government, and I'm here to arrest you!"
"I give you 5 seconds, throw away your weapons and surrender on your own initiative!"
Immediately after, there was a dense sound of footsteps.
Milton once said that the next time he found the camp of the Fan Gang, he would bring a large number of men, and he did.
Hearing the shouting, Maika blurted out, "How could he come so quickly!" ”
In fact, this sentence has already exposed his identity as a traitor, because normal people should ask: How did he find us?
But because Arthur and Javier were also panicked, they didn't notice the minor flaws in his language.
"What should I do?" Javier asked anxiously.
Arthur quickly decided: "You take Dutsy deeper into the cave, there is a secret passage inside, I will stay and drag Pinkerton, and we will meet at Cape Clemmons." ”
Javier said, "No, it's too dangerous. ”
Maika said in a strange tone, "I don't need you to worry about him, we are wanted, he is not." ”
Arthur did not confront him this time, but agreed with his words.
"Maika is right, I'm an innocent citizen, and Pinkerton won't embarrass me."
Javier was about to say something, and Maika had already gotten into Ducky's tent.
"Mexicans, come and help, we'll all die here."
Javier couldn't help it, so he left a sentence of "be careful", and Maika carried Daqi and hurriedly ran towards the depths of the cave.
Five seconds had already passed, and Milton, who had been given many chances, was completely impatient.
Ordered his subordinates to start firing directly with the Maxim machine gun.
"Don't fight, don't fight, I can't surrender!"
Milton immediately told his men to stop shooting.
After a few seconds, Arthur walked out of the cave with his hands held high: "Mr. Detective, I just robbed a cave, or from the Moverey family, even if you don't give me a commendation, you won't hit me with a machine gun, right?" ”
Milton's face turned pale: "I don't have time to fight with you, Arthur Morgan, let Ducky and them come out obediently and be captured." ”
Arthur looks like I don't know what you're talking about.
"What Daqi, I haven't been in contact with him for a long time, and people say he has absconded abroad."
Milton motioned with his eyes for his men to tie them up.
"Don't take people for fools, Arthur, I've just come back from Cornwall."
Arthur allowed Pinkerton to tie him up: "Mr. Detective, I'm a good citizen, isn't it a little inappropriate for you to arrest me for no reason?" ”
Milton was about to speak when one of his men whispered something in his ear.
His face suddenly changed: "Damn bastard, you're deliberately delaying time for them!" ”
Arthur understood that it was Javier who had been discovered, and although he was worried, he remained calm on the surface.
"I don't understand what you're saying."
Milton didn't bother to talk nonsense with him anymore, and led his men to chase after Javier.
Before leaving, someone asked what Arthur should do.
Milton said, "Take Van Horn and lock up with the woman until I come back and interrogate him!" ”
In this way, Arthur was taken to the trading post where Mika and Milton had met.
Pinkerton has his own stronghold and cell here.
As soon as Arthur was thrown into his cell, he met an unexpected person.
"Miss Oschee, why are you here?"
Molly Oschee, Ducky's lover.
She was also deeply surprised by Arthur's appearance.
He hurriedly went up to untie Arthur's rope, and then hugged him and cried, trying to find security.
Anyway, this is all sister-in-law, Arthur didn't dare to slack off, and comforted him for a long time before he understood the ins and outs from Molly's intermittent language.
While still in the palm of his hand, Pinkerton planned to dismantle the Fan gang from within, first planning to recruit Arthur, but after being rejected, they quickly set their sights on Molly.
She is a pampered eldest lady, even if she follows Daqi, she still does not touch the spring water.
Pinkerton felt that her will was certainly not as strong as the other members, and that she had never been involved in the illegal activities of the gang, making her a worthy target.
As a result, they began to contact Molly frequently, with all kinds of coercion and temptation.
Molly is not very bold, but she loves Dutsy deeply, so no matter how much Pinkerton threatens, she doesn't say a word about betraying the gang.
This harassment continued until the gang moved to Rhodes.
Pinkerton couldn't provoke Han Sen, let alone Li Ang, so he had no choice but to give up the rebellion.
It wasn't until later that Ducky was exiled and Guama's life and death were unknown, and the sad Molly ran to St. Denis alone to drink, only to be discovered by Pinkerton and locked her up, intending to force Ducky and others to find out the whereabouts of Ducky and others.
Due to Molly's usual eldest lady's behavior, her relationship with all the gang members is very average.
Therefore, when everyone transferred, they actually forgot about her.
Poor Miss Oschee could not tell the whereabouts of Ducky, and no one came to save her, so she was placed under house arrest until now.
Now seeing Arthur is like seeing a relative, holding it and not letting go, for fear that the person will disappear in the next second.
"Miss Oschee, stop crying, I'll find a way to get you out." Arthur persuaded bitterly.
Molly sobbed and said, "Just call me Molly." ”
Then, she beat her spirits: "Actually, I don't need you to save me, I wrote a letter to a big man, and the time should be soon." ”
"Big shots?" Arthur wondered, "Who?" ”
Molly wiped tears from her face and said, "Achyna Timitrescu." ”
There was something urgent at home, and I was going to take a leave of absence today, but then I thought about it, and I wrote as much as I could.
