The son-in-law of Mr. Hachishaku

Chapter 259 Are you teaching me how to do something?

Arthur has only been to Saint-Denis once in the past ten days. He and Mary went to the theater to watch a performance and never met Leon at all. Moreover, even if he had met him, it was impossible for him to know Li Ang's daily schedule.

So when he heard Cornwall, who was still alive, asking for help from Leon, Arthur knew he was going to suffer.

Dutch was no better than his younger brother. He had almost forgotten about Leon, but Cornwall's voice made him instantly recall the horrific nightmare that was everywhere.

After a fierce ideological struggle, the two (mainly Dutch) decided to give up unnecessary resistance.

"Stop it, we surrender."

The gunmen who were besieging them subconsciously looked at the boss.

At this time, Cornwall has almost recovered, and the new head has no hair, like an old egg covered with wrinkles.

He was confident because of the support he had, and the panic he had felt when he asked for help was gone.

"I regret it now, it's too late! Kill them!"

The gunmen immediately raised their weapons and fired at the hiding position of the two Fan gang members.

Dutch, who was so pressed that he couldn't lift his head, had an idea: "We are surrendering to that gentleman, you have no right to decide what to do with us!"

The effect of this statement was immediate.

Cornwall immediately ordered his men to stop the attack and asked his secretary to ask Leon for his opinion.

A few minutes later, the secretary came out of the cabin and said, "Sir, please come in and chat."

Dutch also felt confident now. He straightened his clothes and walked out of the bunker in a swaggering manner.

Arthur reluctantly followed him.

Although Cornwall complained, he did not dare to disobey Leon's order, otherwise his newly grown head would easily fall off again.

The interior of the expensive ship was decorated like a mansion.

Li Ang sat on the valuable leather sofa, holding the red wine just shipped from France, and stepping on a Persian wool carpet that was more expensive than Arthur's head.

Bayek stood beside him like a door god, waiting for orders at any time.

At the bar opposite, the waiters who work part-time as bartenders are busy providing guests with home away from home service.

The three of them walked in one after another.

Cornwall and Arthur said hello politely, but Dutch laughed exaggeratedly and said: "Hahaha, Mr. Li Ang, it's a great honor to see you again!"

What followed was a flurry of compliments.

If Bayek's punch hadn't left a psychological shadow on him, he would have planned to go up and shake hands with Li Ang, give him a hug or something.

Seeing this, Arthur lowered his head in embarrassment.

He knew very well that Dutch's little tricks had no effect on the man, and instead made him look like a troupe clown.

Sure enough, Li Ang's reaction was neither salty nor cool: "Sit down."

After the three of them found their respective positions, he added: "To be honest, I don't want to get involved in the grudges between you, because it is a very meaningless thing to me."

"From today on, winning or losing depends on one's own ability. I won't care about it anymore. Do you understand?"

Li Ang seemed to be helping no one, but in fact he was very partial to Cornwall. If he hadn't been there, Cornwall would have died today, and his group of rotten fish and shrimps could not stop the Fan Gang from breaking through and were killed. Crying for father and mother.

But neither Cornish nor Dutch were very satisfied with this treatment.

Dutch said first: "Mr. Cornwall cheated, how can we let everyone rely on their own abilities? If he really relied on his own abilities, he would have died a long time ago!"

Since his head could grow back after it exploded, it was obvious that Leon was helping Cornwall, but the Idea King did not dare to accuse him face to face and could only use a relatively tactful way of speaking.

Cornwall understood what he meant and sneered: "Spending money is also a skill. You can also try to use money to exchange for the gift of sir, and no one will stop you."

The big capitalist's face was clearly revealed, but Dutch couldn't refute it.

Arthur said nothing and remained an audience.

Seeing that Dutch had nothing to say, Cornwall became even more enthusiastic: "Sir, I have no objection to each one's own merit, but I must pay back the few shots Van der Linde shot me!"

"I have prepared the share transfer agreement for the Heart of the Earth Oilfield, just waiting for your signature."

After hearing this, Dutch suddenly became anxious and put his hand on the holster of his gun unconsciously. This was a blatant attempt to buy his life!

Arthur quickly stopped him and cast a look at Li Ang for help.

Cornwall felt that he had a chance to win and showed a proud expression.

It’s worth buying Van der Linde to die for an oil field!

Li Ang saw the reactions of several people in his eyes, and then waved his finger to call Bayek: "Which hand fired the gun, which arm was destroyed."

Bayek nodded and walked towards Dutch.

Cornwall was very dissatisfied with this way of handling it: "Sir, you..."

Li Ang stared at him indifferently: "Are you teaching me how to do things?"

Cornwall was instantly sweat-dropped.

At the same time, Bayek punched Arthur in front of him and knocked him away. He grabbed Dutch's right arm and gently broke it.

The white bone stubble pierced the skin and was exposed to the air. The luxurious carpet was stained red with blood. Dutch held his arms in an unnatural bend and burst into a shrill howl.

Li Ang frowned, feeling a little noisy.

Upon seeing this, Bayek picked up Dutch, who was rolling on the ground, and Arthur, who was staring at stars, and threw them back to the dock.

And gave Arthur an ultimatum: "You have two days to finish the matter."

Not long after Bayek returned to the cabin, Cornwall was also invited out, and then the steamer left the dock and headed towards Saint Denis.

With his ship being requisitioned like this, Cornwall had nowhere to vent his evil anger, so he had no choice but to target Dutch.

But after asking the secretary, he found out that Arthur had already left with Dutch.

"Why didn't you stop them!"

"They said it was that gentleman who asked them to leave," the secretary said aggrievedly.

Cornwall's face turned green with anger: "They're a bunch of idiots, why don't you go and chase them!"

The secretary turned around in a hurry, but was stopped by him again: "Wait, get Milton for me first."

On the other side, Arthur knew that Cornwall would not let them go easily, so he immediately fled back to the Beaver Cave with Dutch, who fainted from the pain.

Javier, who was in charge of staying behind, was startled by the embarrassed appearance of the two people and asked what was going on.

Arthur briefly talked about what happened just now, and finally said: "I can't understand him more and more now. He has no intention of negotiating today!"

Javier didn't know how to evaluate it, so he just sighed.

Then, the two tried to treat Dutch's arm, but the effect was not satisfactory.

Bayek carried out Li Ang's order to the letter. If he crippled an arm, there would be no chance of it moving again.

Just when Arthur and Javier were at a loss, Micah came back.

"Arthur, what happened to you and Dutch? Why didn't you wait for me? I almost died at the hands of Cornish people!"

As soon as Micah appeared, he began to investigate.

But in fact, he did not have any head-on conflict with the Cornish people. Instead, he met with Milton and informed him of the location of the Beaver Cave.

"Where's Dutch? Why didn't you see him?"

Arthur took him into the tent and let him see for himself.

Looking at Dutch's obviously abnormal arm and bloodless face, Micah's eyes widened in horror: "Why is this happening? It was obviously fine a few hours ago!"

As he spoke, he grabbed Arthur's collar and asked angrily:

"How on earth did you protect him!?"

Micah was indeed angry at this time, but not entirely because of Dutch, mainly because of his own life.

After Milton knew the location of the Beaver Cave, he would definitely lead his men to attack. After Dutch fell, the remaining three people not only lost their backbone, but also lacked one combat capability, and could not stop Pinkerton's attack at all.

Micah acted as an informant for Pinkerton, but he didn't really want to change his ways.

Milton also knew this, not to mention that he never promised to ensure the safety of his informants. After all, bullets don't have eyes on the battlefield. Thinking of this, Micah took the initiative to let go of Arthur and help him straighten his wrinkled 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 Dutch well.

At the same time, he was distraught by Bayek's ultimatum.

As a bystander, Javier was much more sober and said, "We also want to cure him, but don't forget that Dutch is a wanted criminal and he can't go to a regular hospital at all."

Micah stated his ultimate goal: "Amputate the leg. This is the simplest and the only way we can do it. We must make him get better quickly."

He still remembered the time when Dutch refused to help him and even gave him a gold bar.

And amputation is indeed very trouble-free. It takes a hundred days to break the muscles and bones, but amputation can be done once and for all in a few hours.

Arthur immediately refuted his suggestion: "No way, I don't agree, and Dutch himself won't agree."

Dutch is a very decent person, how could he be willing to become a cripple?

"Then what do you think we should do?" Micah said as if I had tried my best.

Arthur suddenly had an idea: "Yes, Rhodes, let's go to Rhodes, I know the doctor there!"

Javier asked worriedly: "Are you sure he will be willing to treat Dutch?"

As we all know, Rhodes Town is Li Ang's territory, and Dutch's arm was destroyed under Li Ang's order.

Arthur heard this and fell into deep thought.

However, before he could come up with a result, a familiar voice suddenly sounded outside the cave.

"I am Milton, senior member of the Pinkerton Detective Agency. On behalf of the Cornish Corporation and the federal government, I am here to arrest you!"

"I give you 5 seconds to throw away your weapons and surrender!"

Immediately afterwards, there were dense footsteps.

Milton once said that the next time he found the Fan Gang's camp, he would bring a large number of people with him, and he did it.

Micah, who heard the shouting, blurted out: "How could he come so fast!"

In fact, this sentence has exposed his identity as a traitor, because normal people should ask: How did he find us?

But because Arthur and Javier were also in a panic, they did not notice the small flaws in his language.

"What should I do?" Javier asked anxiously.

Arthur made a quick decision: "You take Dutch deeper into the cave. There is a secret passage inside. I will stay behind and hold Pinkerton, and we will meet at Cape Clemons."

Javier said: "No, it's too dangerous."

Micah said in a strange tone: "You don't need to worry about him. We are wanted criminals, but he is not."

Arthur did not confront him this time, but agreed with his words.

"Micah is right. I am an innocent citizen. Pinkerton will not make things difficult for me."

Javier wanted to say something else, but Micah had already gotten into Dutch's tent.

"Mexican, come and help us, we'll all die here if we continue."

Javier had no choice but to say "Be careful", and he and Micah carried Dutch and hurriedly ran deeper into the cave.

Five seconds had passed long ago, and Milton, who had been given many opportunities, completely lost his patience.

Ordered his men to directly start shooting with Maxim machine guns.

"Stop fighting, stop fighting, why don't I surrender!"

Upon hearing this, Milton immediately told his men to stop shooting.

A few seconds later, Arthur walked out of the cave with his hands raised high: "Mr. Agent, I just robbed a cave, and I robbed it from the Mofree family. Even if you don't give me a commendation, it won't be used." Are you going to shoot me with a machine gun?"

Milton's face was ashen: "I don't have time to argue with you, Arthur Morgan. Let Dutch and the others come out and capture them without mercy."

Arthur looked like I have no idea what you're talking about.

"Daqi, I haven't contacted him for a long time. People say he has absconded abroad."

Milton motioned with his eyes to his men to tie the man up.

"Don't take people for fools, Arthur, I've just come back from Cornwall."

Arthur allowed Pinkerton to tie him up: "Mr. Agent, I am a good citizen. Isn't it a bit 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 are deliberately delaying time for them!"

Arthur understood that Javier and the others had been discovered. Although he was worried in his heart, he remained calm on the surface.

"I don't understand what you're talking about."

Milton was too lazy to talk nonsense with him and led his men to chase Javier and the others.

Before leaving, someone asked Arthur what to do.

Milton said: "Take him to Van Horn, lock him up with that woman, and wait for me to come back and interrogate him together!"

In this way, Arthur was taken to the trading post where Micah and Milton met.

Pinkerton had his own stronghold and cell here.

As soon as Arthur was thrown into the cell, he met an unexpected person.

"Miss Ouch, why are you here?"

Molly O'Shea, Dutch's lover.

She was also deeply surprised by Arthur's appearance.

He hurriedly went up and untied the rope from Arthur, then hugged him and cried, trying to find a sense of security.

After all, this was her sister-in-law. Arthur didn't dare to neglect her. After comforting her for a long time, he finally understood the whole story from Molly's intermittent words.

Back when they were still in charge of Horseshoe, Pinkerton planned to disintegrate the Fan Gang from within. They first planned to recruit Arthur, but after being rejected, they quickly focused on Molly.

She is a pampered young lady, and even though she is with Dutch, she still doesn't get involved with him.

Pinkerton felt that her will was definitely not as strong as other members, and since she had never participated in the gang's illegal activities, she was a worthy target.

As a result, they began to have frequent contact with Molly, using various threats and inducements.

Molly was not very courageous, but she loved Dutch deeply, so no matter how Pinkerton threatened her, she never said a word about betraying the gang.

This harassment continued until the gang moved to Lodz.

Pinkerton couldn't afford to offend Han Sen, let alone Li Ang, so he had no choice but to give up the rebellion.

Until later, Dutch was living in Guama and his life and death were unknown. The sad Molly went to Saint Denis to drink alone. However, Pinkerton discovered her and locked her up, intending to force out the whereabouts of Dutch and others.

Because of Molly's usual ladylike behavior, her relationship with all gang members is very average.

So when everyone moved, they actually forgot about her.

Poor Miss Ouch could not tell the whereabouts of Dutch, and no one came to save her, so she has been under house arrest until now.

Seeing Arthur now felt like seeing a relative. He hugged him without letting go, for fear that he would disappear in the next second.

"Miss Ouch, stop crying, I will find a way to get you out." Arthur advised earnestly.

Molly sobbed and said, "Just call me Molly."

Then, she braced herself: "Actually, I don't need your help. I wrote a letter to a big shot, and I think it will be delivered soon."

"Big shot?" Arthur asked doubtfully, "Who is it?"

Molly wiped the tears from her face and said, "Achina Dimitrescu."

　There was something urgent at home, and I originally planned to take leave today, but then I thought about it and decided to write as much as I can.
