1450 Five million
Sheriff's Office.
Hearing Brock's words, Bunker nodded and was about to leave.
"Wait."
Ethan took a sip of coffee and drank it down, and reluctantly stopped the other party's footsteps: "Have you forgotten that the police are still disposing of Watts's body at her house, are you sure you want her to go back and see this scene?" ”
"Of course not."
A hint of embarrassment flashed in Bunker's eyes: "I'll take her and the child back to my house." ”
"Absolutely not."
Putting the cup down, Ethan also stood up: "There are some things that you don't know very well, the most dangerous person now is Maggie, come with me to a safe place!" ”
"Huh?"
Bunker looked confused.
"Don't forget."
Now too lazy to explain to the other party, he looked at Brock again and continued: "I just told you about those places, the slaughterhouse, the strip bar, and the original Miles Restaurant. ”
"All have to have patrol cars at the door, otherwise there will definitely be riots and lootings."
“OK。”
Brock didn't bother to ask Maggie why she was in danger, but there was a hint of doubt on his face: "Then how long will our people be guarded?" ”
"Soon."
Waving his hand, Ethan walked outside: "Wait until I take the place." ”
"Huh?"
Now come to Brock with a confused look.
I don't want to explain too much about this, just wait for the dust to fall.
The two cars rushed up the dirt slope, kicking up a puff of smoke and dust and stopping in front of the hunting house.
The branches and leaves swayed, and the mountain wind rattled.
"Bump~"
Throwing the car door shut, Ethan stretched: "Mr. Borden, you can put away the gun, I don't think you will be a stranger to Mr. Bunker." ”
The police car behind also came down three people one after another.
Maggie held the child in her arms and looked around a little bewildered.
The town is already enough for the countryside.
I didn't expect to come to such a place like a primeval forest, the sound of birds and beasts sounded from time to time, and the little boy in her arms also looked curiously at everything around her.
"Mr. Morgan!"
Borden walked out with an AKM assault rifle and nodded slightly at a few people: "Bunker." ”
Looking at the firearm, Maggie took a step back in fright.
Nervously ducked behind Bunker.
In the shadow of the house, a white dress followed, and Rebecca walked down the wooden steps with light steps, her white feet stepping on the green grass.
She looked a little surprised.
Since I moved here, I haven't seen so many people here at once.
"Bunker, Maggie."
Ethan waved his arm and casually introduced: "Rebecca, Boden, now everyone knows each other." ”
"Smack~"
After the few people nodded to each other, he slapped his palms again and said to Watts's daughter, "Maggie, you can live here for a while in the future, believe me, this place is safe enough." ”
"I don't understand."
The latter's eyebrows furrowed tightly, and he said with a look of resistance: "Mayor Morgan, is there anything I need to know?" ”
Inexplicably brought yourself to this place.
Not only does he have to live permanently, but he also keeps emphasizing that he is in danger, and to be honest, Maggie is very puzzling now.
“OK。”
Looking at the child in her arms, who should not understand what these people were saying, Ethan shrugged his shoulders with his hands in his pockets and said, "There are some things that really need to be told to you. ”
"Because there is a certain competition between me and your father."
"So know something that you don't know."
Under the gaze of several people, he said unhurriedly: "During this time, Mr. Watts, in his own name, helped a big man buy many plots of land in Banshee Town. ”
"Now he's dead."
"The inheritance of these plots will undoubtedly fall to you."
Speaking of which.
Maggie hadn't realized what was going on, and Bunker was already looking horrified.
The latter knew one thing very well, sometimes what suddenly fell from the sky would not be a windfall, but a disaster, and he also understood why the other party said that Maggie would be in danger.
"Those people."
Ethan nodded at Bunker, and then looked at Maggie: "I am absolutely unwilling to invest and disappear for no reason, and they will definitely find a way to find you and control you and the child." ”
"There's no guarantee that those people will do anything."
"Mayor Morgan." Maggie was also frightened by the news she heard, and stammered and asked, "Then can't I cooperate with them?" ”
"Hmm."
Ethan smiled faintly and shrugged his shoulders again: "Of course you can, but the Aryan Brotherhood is a subordinate organization of those people, and now that it is like this, are you sure they won't be angry with you because of it?" ”
"Are you willing to take that risk?"
In a word, Maggie was completely speechless.
She didn't want to deal with those people, and now that the Aryan Brotherhood is gone, who knows what those guys will go crazy about.
But although she just wants to live quietly, she can't hide in this place for the rest of her life, and she casts a pleading eye at Bunker, who is her backbone from now on.
"Mayor Morgan."
Bunker's eyebrows furrowed tightly, and he hurriedly asked, "Sounds like you have a solution?" ”
"Absolutely."
He couldn't help but scratch his cheeks and spread his hands out: "Okay, Bunker is my friend, I won't lie to you, those lands that your father took are also my target, all I can think of is to transfer the risk." ”
"Transfer this risk to me."
Under Maggie's suspicious gaze, Ethan said calmly: "Hear clearly, I'm not robbing you of anything, I'm just robbing that big man." ”
A word woke her up.
The woman suddenly understood that those things were not hers, and she did not have the ability to inherit them.
"During the time you've been hiding."
Ethan tossed a cigarette into his mouth and lit it with a smile: "I'll find a way to get rid of that big guy." ”
"Afterwards, you transfer the land to my company, and as part of the transaction, I will give you five million dollars, which is enough for your mother and son to live freely!"
The last sentence made Maggie's breath become rapid.
The clods of earth are ethereal, they are not their own in the first place.
There is still a danger to life in your hands, and you can't take out the inheritance tax yourself, and the five million that the other party promised to give can really be obtained, and you don't have to take any risks.
Thinking of this, she looked at Bunker.
"You make your own decisions."
The latter shook his head slightly, indicating that he did not want to get involved.
Ethan is also an old god smoking a cigarette on the ground, no longer urging, quietly waiting for the other party to make a decision.
"Sounds like that."
Maggie thought for a while, then said in a muffled voice, "It's us who are robbing that big man together." ”
"Haha."
Ethan chuckled, "That's not wrong for you to understand that. ”
"Thank you."
Maggie stretched out her hand and said seriously, "Mayor Morgan, you could have given me not a single dollar, this is a very generous offer, and I have no reason to refuse. ”
"Let's get rich together."
Blinking at the clever woman, Ethan held her hand firmly. (End of chapter)
