The son-in-law of Mr. Hachishaku

Chapter 248 The Godfather once said

It is true that Li Ang did not come specifically to rescue Arthur this time, but happened to be hunting legendary animals with Bella nearby, and collected the materials needed to make the [Eastern Legend Backpack].

This backpack can increase the number of items stored to 99. Even if it can only store some small items, it is still a very powerful storage device.

In order to collect all kinds of perfect animal skins to make backpacks, Leon and Bella went to the deep mountains and forests every day during this period. They happened to meet Arthur today, and they planned to take the opportunity to return to civilized society.

Carrying the seriously injured Arthur on his back, Li Ang urged his horse to leave the Aobang camp where corpses were strewn across the fields.

The eldest lady was waiting on the roadside not far away on her beloved horse Putao. When she saw the two people coming out, she waved to them.

The three of them met, Li Ang pretended not to know, and asked Arthur how he fell into the hands of the Austrian gang.

After the other party finished explaining with great effort, he said directly: "Don't you think it's strange, Arthur? The people in Colm actually know where you are hiding."

Arthur replied with difficulty: "I said it was a trap, but Dutch"

"Tsk." Li Ang curled his lips: "Mr. Van der Linde knew that the other party might be uneasy and well-intentioned, but he still chose to put himself in danger, and did not make any effective response after you disappeared for several days. I really can't figure out what he wanted to do. "

"He" Arthur tried to defend Dutch: "He didn't know I was caught."

"Maybe." Leon did not continue to denounce the King of Ideas, but instead said: "I remember a man named Vito Corleone once said something that is very applicable to the current situation of your Van der Linde Gang."

"What words?" Arthur asked doubtfully.

Li Ang did not answer in a hurry, but took a few glances into the dense forest ahead.

"Colm seemed reluctant to leave alone and left several patrols on the road."

After hearing this, the eldest lady volunteered: "Leave it to me, my dear!"

"Okay." Li Ang nodded in agreement.

After receiving the permission, Bella couldn't wait to turn into a thick black fog and fly into the dense forest.

Although the black light virus changed the life form of the eldest lady, some of her previous abilities were still retained, such as the current 'Ghost in the Smoke'.

The continuous screams startled countless resting birds in the forest, and then there was deathly silence.

Immediately afterwards, Bella's figure regrouped on the horse.

Shaking off the remaining blood stains on the hook, she said: "It's done, let's keep going."

Arthur looked at the eldest lady in surprise.

He really couldn't connect the beautiful blond girl in front of him with the eerie black smoke just now.

It's a bit unbelievable, but it feels natural.

"It is very rude to stare directly at other people's wives, Mr. Morgan." Li Ang reminded her.

Arthur came back to his senses instantly and hurriedly explained: "Sorry, I'm not...me."

Seeing the embarrassment on his face, Bella couldn't help but chuckle.

Arthur coughed a few times to cover up his embarrassment, and quickly changed the subject: "Mr. Li Ang, you didn't finish your sentence just now."

Li Ang snorted: "I accidentally forgot which sentence it was. I'll tell you when I remember it."

Although Arthur was sure that he was lying, he did not dare to question it.

Li Ang did not explain anything, and then talked about the Austrian gang: "Assaulting the police in Rhodes Town is a heinous felony, not to mention that the attacker was the police chief. If Colm and his men dare to touch my people, they will not continue. It’s necessary to exist.”

"Chief Morgan?"

"I'm here." Arthur replied reflexively.

Li Ang smiled and said, "After recovering from your injuries, lead a team to clear out the Aogang strongholds. Don't let anyone go. Do you understand?"

Arthur couldn't help but be moved after hearing this. He was clearly thinking of ways to avenge him.

"Understood, I will adjust as soon as possible."

While chatting, the three of them arrived near Rhodes Town.

Li Ang asked Arthur whether to go back to the police station or the camp, and Arthur chose to go back to the camp without hesitation.

"Then you have to walk the rest of the way by yourself, Mr. Morgan."

"I can still hold on." Arthur jumped off the horse and limped towards the lake.

Li Ang suddenly stopped him and said, "Mr. Morgan, I remember what that sentence was."

Arthur turned around, showing some doubts.

Li Ang looked at him condescendingly and said loudly: "Whoever wants peace talks is a traitor."

After that, he turned his horse's head and left with the eldest lady.

Arthur stood there blankly, his eyes flashing with confusion.

Traitor was a very new word to him, a member of the Fan Gang. Even during the most difficult period of Blackwater Town, no member had ever betrayed the gang.

Could it be that he was attacked by the Austrian gang this time because someone leaked the secret?

With such doubts in mind, Arthur returned to the slightly unfamiliar Cape Clemons after many days.

Maribeth, who was sitting by the camp reading a book, was the first to discover the bruised Arthur, and immediately called the others, who carefully helped him to the bedside.

After learning the news, Dutch also rushed over and asked with concern: "My child, my good boy, what is going on?"

The familiar faces made Arthur completely relax, followed by a wave of tiredness.

He steeled himself and managed to explain the reason.

Pearson, who originally proposed peace talks, kept apologizing, but Arthur had already fallen asleep.

Before he lost consciousness, he was still thinking that the traitor in the gang was this sloppy chef who loved to brag, or was it someone else?

On the other side, Leon and Bella returned to Rhodes Manor.

As soon as they entered the house, Aqina scolded them, saying that the eldest of the two was too young and was as playful as a child to the point of not even returning home.

As the daughter who knows her mother best, Bella directly took out the various furs she had harvested during this trip and said she would make clothes for Madam. Archina was soon coaxed into smiling, and the mother and daughter happily discussed the shape of the clothes. .

Li Ang thought his ears could finally be quiet for a while, but the third lady came again.

Because she didn't take her out to play, Daniela now has deep resentment towards her sister and brother-in-law.

Li Ang said helplessly: "Didn't I give you that black Arabian horse? What else are you dissatisfied with?"

Since her mother and two sisters were not nearby, Daniela's behavior was obviously much more unrestrained. She sat directly on her brother-in-law's lap and acted coquettishly: "It's because of the horse that I want to go out to play. Please, brother-in-law, take me with you." How about I go out?"

Li Ang held the third lady's waist to prevent her from dangling and falling.

"The legs are yours, and the horse is yours too. You can go out if you want."

"It's boring to be alone." Daniela smiled slyly: "Besides, I'm not allowed to warm the bed for you and my sister."

Li Ang couldn't stand the third lady's insistence and said, "Let's leave for Saint Denis tomorrow. Let's go to the head office."

Daniela happily held his face and kissed him several times: "It's time to leave!"

"Madam wants to stay here for a few more days, but there's nothing I can do about it." Li Ang replied. Daniela curled up on his chest like a kitten: "Don't talk, let me hold her for a while."

Li Ang had no choice but to sit on the sofa and use it as a pillow.

Not long after, Daniela stuck out her tongue and licked his earlobe, and said in a tired voice: "Will you come to my place tonight?"

But Li Ang said seriously: "Then you have to write an application first and let Bella add your name to the schedule."

The third lady pinched him dissatisfied: "When did you become so timid?"

Li Ang said plausibly: "This is called fairness, justice and openness. Now there are more wolves and less meat. How can it be so easy to sleep with me!"

Daniela was angry and funny, and cursed: "You are so shameless!"

"Anyway, you belong to me tonight, no one is allowed to take it from you!"

Li Ang couldn't help but pinch the third lady's wrinkled nose: "Why are you so anxious all of a sudden?"

"There's no rush at all." Daniela rested her head on her sweetheart's neck: "I've been waiting for this day for a long, long time."

Li Ang stroked her long burgundy hair: "Okay, that's as you wish."

Surprise suddenly bloomed in Daniela's eyes: "Really! Then you can kiss me now, my love."

A few minutes later, the second lady, who had just returned from a walk outside, accidentally bumped into the two people embracing each other affectionately. While feeling awkward, she wanted to find a place to hide quickly.

"Stop hiding, learn more from me, maybe you will need it in the future." The third lady adjusted her rapid breathing and teased with a smile.

"Do you still need to learn this?" Cassandra regained her composure: "Besides, I always learn things faster than you."

Daniela said proudly: "I just need to be faster than you on this matter."

Cassandra clenched her fists: "The person who sneaks away is of course fast!"

Li Ang looked at the two ladies in confusion: "Please, don't think I don't exist."

Daniela covered his mouth: "We don't need your opinion on our sisters' matters."

Cassandra actually agreed.

Hearing this, Li Ang had no choice but to pick up the third lady in his arms and put her on the sofa: "Then let me know after you decide."

Then, he left the living room.

When Li Ang left, the two sisters who were incompatible with each other a second ago suddenly reconciled and murmured together.

“The plan went very smoothly!”

"That's right, he will never escape the clutches of our sisters!"

At the same time, in the madam's room, the eldest lady and the madam were making a bet.

"I bet that Third Sister will succeed first, she has many clever ideas!"

"Then I'll choose the second child. The third child will only be clever."

Speaking of this, Aqina couldn't help but sigh: "It's really easy for him. I have three such good daughters."

Bella, on the other hand, looked like she hated iron and said, "Having said that, it's also their own fault for not living up to expectations. They have been together day and night for so long, and they can't even get a man. If they don't tighten their grip, I don't know how many people will be eliminated." Get in front of them."

Aqina glanced at her eldest daughter: "Don't forget that you are the one who was captured."

"Mom~, why are you bringing this up?" Bella blushed.

Li Ang slept alone last night and slept soundly. Except for two sneaky thieves who attacked him in the middle of the night, nothing noteworthy happened.

The next afternoon the family set off for Saint-Denis.

As a gateway city to North America and a natural port, Saint-Denis's trade routes have been operating stably for more than a hundred years. It was originally a French colony, so a large number of French immigrants lived there. However, with the changes in history, this bustling seaport Cities have long since become cultural melting pots of diverse races.

In the industrial areas on the edge of the city, countless thick chimneys emit billowing black smoke, causing the sky to be gray and foggy all year round, and the air is always filled with an unpleasant smell of coke.

Years from now, this scene will definitely draw strong condemnation from environmentalists.

But in 1899, these factories that roared all day long and black smoke were symbols of modernity and the embodiment of wealth.

Accompanied by the sweet sound of horses' hooves colliding with the floor tiles, the huge black carriage slowly drove into the city.

The ringing of the tram bell attracted Bella's attention. She opened the car curtains and looked out, curious about everything that appeared in front of her.

Aqina looked at the overly lively eldest lady with a slightly helpless expression: "Bella, when will you learn to be a lady?"

Li Ang put down the map in his hand and advised: "Just let her go."

"Just spoil her." Aqina was even more helpless towards the man in front of her: "She has reached the age of being a mother, and she is not stable at all."

"Mother?" Bella immediately turned back and hugged Li Ang without letting go: "My dear, do you finally want to have a baby with me? Do I need to prepare in advance? Oops, what should I do if I suddenly feel nervous!"

Li Ang pinched the eldest lady's tender face and joked: "You are still a baby, how can you give birth to a baby?"

Bella slapped his hand away and frowned: "You are so annoying!"

After saying that, he continued to watch the street scene.

The second young lady and the third young lady are currently resting in the Great Gift, so there are only three of them in the carriage.

As soon as the carriage became quiet, a ghost dog responsible for guarding the carriage rushed forward and announced: "Sir, there are several children who have been following us."

Li Ang said without raising his head: "Go and ask who sent me, and ask their family members to come to me to apologize."

"I got it." The Nether Dog took the order and left.

The carriage did not stay in the city for too long and drove directly to the wealthy area in the south of the city.

Cornwall gave Li Ang a mansion located in this area, which had been taken care of by the ghost dogs who came to the city in advance. There is a large park next to the mansion, and it is a neighbor of the local snake Bronte.

Cornwall's name was basically a household name in several nearby states. Strangers lived in his house, which naturally aroused the curiosity of many people.

Those who are capable of action have already planned to pay a visit.

Li Ang had no time to pay attention to this group of people for the time being. He was listening to the Nether Dog's report about those children.

Due to various factors such as the rapid development of the city and the lack of law and order, many teenagers and children in Saint-Denis start joining gangs at a very young age. Some of them are orphans, some have parents who neglected to discipline them, and some simply have too many brothers and sisters and their families cannot afford them, so they have to make a living by themselves.

Most of them have not received formal education and spend their days idle and sneaking around. It is precisely because of their young age that they generally lack a sense of awe and regard recklessness as courage.

They don't worship scientists, let alone capitalists, but they regard notorious desperadoes and gang leaders who bully weak people as their idols.

Bronte, the largest mafia boss in Saint Denis, took advantage of this and spread these children throughout the city to act as spies and collect intelligence.

However, the behavior of following the carriage this time had nothing to do with Bronte. It was entirely due to a few children who felt that the carriage was very luxurious and there must be rich people inside, so they wanted to try to see if they could make some money.

After listening to the ghost dog's report, Li Ang thought for a moment and said, "Send the captured children to Bronte's house and see how he reacts."
