After much deliberation, Rojo decided to meet Sherman's old fox, he couldn't just run away like a mouse, he had to go to the professor and persuade Uncle Wolf to get back on his feet.

Besides, people like Sherman will not easily let valuable chess pieces escape, even if it is out of Santa Fe, it won't be long before a bounty hunter will come to the door with a smell, those guys have a very smart nose, otherwise in the past ten years, Rojo would not have to change so many shelters.

So instead of running away, it's better to stay and wait until the matter is taken care of before leaving.

"God, look at this porcelain, beautiful flowers blooming on the bottle."

On the third floor of the manor villa, in the study, Sherman was dressed in an elegant suit, wearing glasses, and his hair was not messy, like an old gentleman, holding porcelain and admiring it.

"Mr. Sherman, what are you looking for me?"

Rojo came in with a servant and saw Sherman tasting a piece of porcelain.

"Kyle, put it away, this thing is a rare and excellent product, it's hard to imagine that six or seven hundred years ago, human beings had such a high level of craftsmanship."

Sherman handed the porcelain to the subordinate next to him, then looked at Rojo slowly and asked, "Kid, what do you think of antiques?" For example, these famous paintings, porcelain, and jewelry. ”

"I only care about things that bring value, and even if you give them all to me, I can't sell them."

Luo Huo glanced at the wall of the study, there were many famous paintings, I couldn't understand them, but the style of paintings revealed a unique artistic atmosphere, which should be worth a lot of money.

"It's pedantic and superficial, and there are some things that can't be measured by money."

Sherman got up and walked to the side of a painting of a frightened crowd and a chasing black shadow, with a faint point of light in front of the crowd.

He said with a smile: "This painting is oppression and resistance, to be honest, I like the layout of this painting, I like its presentation, and the meaning behind it, think about people who still choose to fight in the face of slim hope, and finally be pulled into the clouds under a ray of sunshine." ”

"That's a good painting."

Rojo looked at it for a while, perhaps because of his different tastes, and the painting was not attractive to him.

But he could feel that the old guy in front of him cared a lot about the portrait, and he could sense the old guy's mood swings.

"You should learn more about the story behind the painting, child, you will realize some truth in it, and there is no harm in life."

Sherman wiped the frame with his handkerchief to make sure there was no dust, then sat back in his chair and said, "Now it's time to talk about your new job." ”

"My job is over."

Rojo spoke.

"That was the last job, and now there is a new job handed over to you, which is also to escort a batch of goods, but this time you have to help me bring it back."

Sherman didn't pay attention to Rojo's words, didn't look at the young man's face, lowered his head, wiped his pocket watch, and said: "That's a batch of my antiques in the auction house, the Greer family has been a little rampant recently, I'm worried that they will attack the goods, so I want you to be responsible for escorting." ”

"Mr. Sherman, you didn't consult with me beforehand......"

Rojo guessed right, the old guy has a new mission to call himself on.

"Child, I'm already discussing with you now, 10,000 US dollars, the same as before, bring me the goods back intact."

Sherman took out half of the deposit from the drawer, slapped it on the table, and said, "This time, Jerill can go with you, and your friends don't have to go." ”

"It seems that you are very relieved to me, just bring back a batch of antiques, 10,000 is a lot."

Rojo picked up a stack of money on the table, his tone meaningful.

"Your friend lives in an abandoned factory on the border with Mexico, the environment is very bad, and he buys so many medicines every month, is there someone who is not in good health?"

Sherman smiled flatly, "So, you have to work hard to be able to help them, after all, the situation of mutants is not very good now." ”

After a brief work conversation, Rojo turned and left the office, but as soon as he went out, his face sank.

In the office just now, Sherman's words were threats, and he specifically instructed that as long as Rojo was in charge of escorting alone, he wanted to leave Uncle Wolf in Santa Fe as a threat.

It's no wonder that Jerill would let Rojo go, and after only half a day of returning, he saw Sherman showing his greedy fangs, and the old guy wanted to keep the mutants under control and do things for him.

Rojo also underestimated Sherman, the old guy found out about Uncle Wolf's condition so quickly, and maybe even found Professor X who was also hiding in an abandoned factory.

If that's the case, it's only going to get worse.

Professor X is different from Wolverine.

He is the government's most wanted criminal, whether he lives or dies, and no one wants a walking bomb to operate on their own soil.

In the original book, the bounty hunter later found Uncle Wolf and said that he could let Uncle Wolf go, but he had to let the professor stay, but then he couldn't catch it, so he directly ordered the professor to be killed, and he was the target of the priority hunt.

It was a miserable night, and the professor was still muttering to himself as he slept, reminiscing about the brief warm time in the academy, but he was impaled in the chest in the early hours of the morning.

Now, Rojo can't just walk away.

Once he walks away, Sherman will definitely attack Uncle Wolf.

And Uncle Wolf plans to buy a boat to live on the high seas, I'm afraid there is no way to achieve it in a short time, although mutants can spend a little more money and buy second-hand fishing boats on the black market, but now Sherman is eyeing Uncle Wolf and will not let him leave easily.

"Old Fox ......"

With a calm face, Rojo walked towards the staircase, thinking in his mind how to deal with the current situation, how to get rid of Sherman's shackles, and not hurt himself.

As he pondered, he passed by the door of a room, and with his keen hearing, heard some whispers.

"I'm going to the pharmaceutical factory now, that batch of goods will be shipped in the near future, the pharmaceutical factory must not have any problems, you and your people must guarantee me the safety of the pharmaceutical factory."

"Watch out for the Grell family, they've been keeping an eye on us lately, and Jeryll said that Grell even sent someone to Las Vegas!"

Rojo at the door deliberately slowed down and heard the sound of the phone inside clearly.

Pharmaceutical factory?

He accidentally saw the unloaded box yesterday, which contained potions, and it seems that he was not mistaken, those are potions.

It seems to be another unknown property of the Sherman family.

Santa Fe's logistics tycoons, if they had business on the surface, would have spread all over the city, but few people knew about the so-called pharmaceutical factory.

It's clear that there's something wrong with that.

Maybe it's a breakthrough for me....... Rojo pondered in his heart, and before he knew it, he had reached the staircase, and the person who was calling in the room also hurried out the door, wearing a big windbreaker, and passed by Rojo, without noticing the bright light flashing in the young man's eyes.
