Red Dead Redemption Dawn

Chapter 329: old times

In the middle of the night in Saint Denis, the street was still brightly lit, and John sat on a bench by the side of the road, smoking a cigarette.

John went to Alyssa's villa after returning, after expressing his intentions.

The butler let him in.

John came late, and Alicia seemed to be resting, in her homely pajamas. I have to say that her figure is really good, and this kind of clothes can't hide her **** and tall figure.

"Mr. Wake, it is very rude to disturb people's dreams. You'd better give me a better reason." Eliza said in a sullen tone.

"I need you to check someone." John was straightforward.

"Who?" Alicia asked.

"Ah Tesser Widdom Vicker. I need you to look up his real estate in St. Denis, anything like that," John said.

"Does he have anything to do with our business?" Alyssa asked.

"He was the last village head of Mong Kok Village, and it is very relevant, and it is even related to whether we can successfully win this contract." John said.

Seeing that John was so sure, Alyssa nodded, "I'll have someone contact you. Come back tomorrow morning to get the information."

"I'm sorry to bother you, good night ma'am." John apologized and left.

After finishing this, John went to a street lamp to relieve his exhaustion. He was very tired after running all day.

Not far across the street was the villa where he temporarily lived, but he wanted to sit here alone for a while.

Because this place really resembled somewhere in his previous life for a moment.

"Sir~Are you waiting for someone?" But apparently sitting alone on a chair under a street light is hard to keep others from noticing.

With a cigarette in the corner of his mouth, John looked up at the person coming.

It is the police patrolling nearby. There are many police officers in this area, and there are also many patrolling all night. This also greatly guarantees the safety of the area.

"Sir, it's very late, I think you should go back to rest. Otherwise, it's not good for your family to go home too late." The two policemen persuaded patiently.

The people here are either rich or expensive, and John's harmless face and his own extravagance made the two patrolling police officers think he must be a big man.

So they behaved quite nicely.

"Thank you, I just want to sit here. I'm in a bad mood. In fact, I live opposite. Villa 303." He then said, "Have I bothered you?"

"No~ It's just late at night, maybe you should go back to rest, sir, but if you just sit here for a while and don't disturb others, it's fine." The patrolman looked at the villa John pointed to, but he didn't make any strong demands. John leaves.

Many shops in the commercial district even open overnight and never close. It's just that this area is more important, and the patrol police will ask questions when they see suspicious people.

But looking at John's appearance, there was nothing to do, so the two sides talked for a while, and the two patrolmen left.

He continued to sit in his seat, then took out another bottle of whisky from his backpack.

After drinking, he looked at the time, it was already eleven o'clock.

Nick and Zhao An should have returned long ago.

So he got up and walked towards the villa.

The guards of the villa knew him naturally, and naturally John returned to the hall of the villa.

Zhao An and Nick were still sitting on the sofa.

"John, are you back? We're all waiting for you." Nick was very happy to see him.

"How's it going?" he asked.

"It's similar to the result of Yoshu Village." Nick gave him a place.

"Ah~ that's really disappointing." After he sat down, he casually took a sip of the coffee on the table.

Although he drank a whole bottle of whisky, his physical fitness was difficult to get drunk, and he recovered even after being drunk for more than ten minutes.

"Have a good rest~ I will go to Mong Kok Village tomorrow to get the contract." John said to the two casually.

the next day.

John came to Alyssa's house early to get the materials.

"For an ordinary village chief, his property is astonishing." Alyssa said after handing over the information to John.

"Haha~" John smiled without saying a word.

"I still need a contract to relocate." He said to Alyssa after checking the playbook. He finally knew why it was uncomfortable to see Vickle, because this guy was out of tune with everything around the village.

How can a retired village chief live in a villa in the city all year round with the villagers in the countryside.

And John's words made Alyssa raise an eyebrow~ and asked, "Did they agree?"

"Well~ I can give you that tonight." John nodded.

Alyssa said with a smile, "I didn't expect Mr. Wake to be so powerful. We may have many places to cooperate in the future."

"Go and bring the prepared contract to Mr. Wake," Alicia said to the butler.

"Mr. Wick, when your furs come to Saint-Denis in the future, you can ask someone to pick them up directly from 136 Commercial Street. If there is no problem with the quality, they will not refuse them." Alyssa smiled at him. said.

"I feel like I've been tired these days when I hear your wife's promise. Thank you, my wife." John bowed sincerely.

"Haha~ If Mr. Wake has any interest in Moraine State in the future, you can come and talk to me. I think we will have many opportunities for cooperation." Alyssa said with a smile.

"Yes." John took the two of them out of here after taking the contract handed to him by the housekeeper.

Afterwards, the three of them settled in two horse-drawn carriages and set off towards Mong Kok Village together with the donkey carriage they had borrowed from Mong Kok Village.

Near eleven o'clock, John came to this walled village again, and this time these half-finished walls were **** in John's eyes.

The arrival of the three also attracted the attention of the village.

The old village chief Vicker himself came out to welcome them.

Because he is the first merchant who is willing to come here to collect the fur in person and the price is quite fair, John gives the money very easily, and will not lower the price due to some quality problems.

These days, a businessman like him is very rare.

"Mr. Wick, you are really here. I welcome you on behalf of the hunters in this village. You are really a businessman who keeps your promises."

"I'm still very trustworthy, do you have anything to eat at home? I came in a hurry, and I didn't eat much in the morning." John also responded with a smile.

"Of course, first go to the house with me for a drink to relieve fatigue, and then you can eat the sumptuous lunch we prepared for the guests. I prepared it yesterday, and today's reception is delicious." Happy to invite John to his house for lunch.

"When they had the perfect meal, they packed all the goods into the car." Vicker said enthusiastically as he took his hand and walked away.

Then the three came to the village chief's house, which looked like a fortress from the outside, but was very spacious inside. It looks like it covers an area of ​​more than 600 square meters.

It is a garden villa.

"Actually, the wine that Coster sells is not the best among us." After being seated, Vicker got some dried fruit and some quick-to-use smoked fish fillets.

Taking out another jar of wine, he said to John, "The best thing is on my side. Haha~"

John also said thank you for the hospitality, but he opened the jar unceremoniously.

The wine in the jar really has a wine aroma, and it is relatively strong.

"Sure enough, it's a good thing. Today your jar of wine may be gone." John joked.

"Wine is for drinking, just drink it, I'll have it after drinking it." Vicker responded with a smile.

After more than 20 minutes of drinking, some home-cooked dishes were served.

The three of them were not polite to eat directly.

John was a big eater, which surprised Vicker, who was seeing him for the first time.

"Mr. Wick, not only do you have an amazing amount of alcohol, but your appetite is also amazing." Vicker, who was a little drunk, said in surprise.

He prepared a roasted whole lamb for the three of them, and he watched John eat half of the amount in more than an hour.

This amount of food is the only thing he has ever seen in his life.

"The big guy eats a lot." John's face was also flushed, and he had already drank three jars of wine with Victor.

A rough estimate is about twelve pounds.

Although John drank most of it, he also drank a lot of Vickle.

"The things are very good, Nick, you two go out to see if the goods are ready, and if they are not ready, go out and help." John said to the two of them after eating and drinking.

"Donne~ You accompany the two guests to have a look." Vicker also said to the son beside him with a smile.

Then only John and a slightly drunk Vickle were left on the table.

"When I first met Mr. Wick, I didn't quite believe that you were a buyer," Wick said after pouring drinks on the two of them.

"Why?" John asked with a smile.

"Because you are a bit outstanding, you are more like a noble boy from Saint Denis, the kind of child from a rich family." Vicker said honestly.

"Every kid from a rich family wants to get rid of his father's shadow," John said without denying.

"Haha~ That's true." Vicker said with a knowing smile.

"There are many hunters in this village. It seems that everyone has the habit of using guns?" he asked.

"Of course, we started out as a group of scattered Confederates, but the war was over. We weren't accepted, they said we were deserters, but we weren't," Vicker said.

"So we settled down here. Fortunately, these years have been pretty good."

"Well~ the war is really helpless. The war has made many people lose their homes." John nodded.

"I heard that there was a war between you two years ago?" John said suddenly.

Vikker looked at Wick's drunken face with a bit of drunken eyes and said, "Yes, that's a large group of robbers."

"Can you tell me the details of that year? I'm always interested in these pasts." John said a little drunk.

Vicker looked at John again, then said "Of course~"

"This is a good place. We had dozens of scattered soldiers, but we can all confirm that they are the coalition forces in the south."

"We don't have much money on us, but we all carry a lot of armaments."

"The gang of robbers are guys who have been circling the local area for many years. They are powerful. They know almost any water source and road nearby."

"Because of who we are, they absolutely won't allow us to build here. First the warning, but the warning can't make us give up, and then the tentative conflict ~ from fighting, to grabbing our people, tying them to a tree and whipping them Finally, when they tried to catch the woman, the husband on our side shot first."

That time we killed three guys who came to make trouble, and we didn't want to fight with them at all. We initially tried to persuade them to leave, but it was impossible.

"We started building the village's defense that day. We knew they couldn't let us go. We made all the preparations and waited for this big battle to come."

"They didn't let us down either. That night, the sound of hooves broke the silence. They came, and they brought everyone who could shoot, anyone."

Of course, we are also prepared.

The gunshots rang all night.

"You won in the end?" John asked in fascination.

"Of course~ we finally settled down here. And lived for over thirty years," Vicker said.

"I don't see many old people in the village, and I don't see many old women," John asked.

"Many people have died in the last few years due to the war. The rest is just being able to live one day at a time, and living is the greatest luck, isn't it," Vicker said.

"It's a very good story. I usually like to read, so many novelists like to write this kind of plot into their novels." John said with a smile.

"Fiction? Hehe~ But it's real. It's something I've personally experienced." Vicker smiled involuntarily.

"Actually, I have seen a similar story, are you interested?" John said with a smile.

"A similar story? Hahaha~ Let's hear it." Vicker said with a smile.

"A group of bandits squatting on the mountain, they specialize in robbing passing travelers and caravans. They are powerful. But they don't have much malice towards the nearby villages. A lot, in that era, these robbers were considered good."

"Perhaps these robbers came from these villages, so they certainly wouldn't have too much malice towards their former home. After that, they became stronger and more powerful and robbed more and more money."

"Wealth is always something exciting, and their boss doesn't want to share it with his robbers. But more and more wealth will make his subordinates more and more greedy. Maybe the robber boss has discovered something against him. Rebellious subordinates."

"Just when the robber leader didn't know what to do, a group of scattered soldiers came down the mountain."

"The rest of the robbers are a little panicked. After all, they are all soldiers. They are not allowed to go up the mountain to suppress the bandits that day, and they also have some savings from robbery on the mountain."

"Then the robbers tried to drive them away, but obviously, it was impossible for the soldiers to take these robbers in their eyes. They ignored the robbers' warnings and continued to build their village."

"And the boss of the robber saw an opportunity, he asked his subordinates not to harass the construction of this village, and even not allow them to approach the village.

"Gene Era"

And because of the robbers' retreat, the soldiers thought they would not harass them again, so they let down their guard. But a few months later, the boss of the robber took everyone, everyone who could use a gun, one night. "

"They took the initiative to attack the village, which was only recently built, and the gunfire was unresolved that night."

"Who won in the end?" Vicker asked with a smile.

"Guess what?" John asked with a smile.

"It's definitely not a robber, after all, I'm also a soldier." Vicker said with a smile.

John shook his head, "Actually, in the story, the soldiers were defeated. In order to build the village, the soldiers replaced a lot of firearms and ammunition with the required axes, saws, grain, cattle, chickens, ducks and other daily necessities, so There's only a little gun left in their hands. Maybe not a third of what it was before, because they're scattered soldiers and they won't have any extra money on them."

"Did those soldiers finally run away?" Vicker asked again.

"They are all dead. They are indeed soldiers, and their combat effectiveness is of course stronger. But there are more robbers, more ammunition, and the leader of the robbers is watching from behind. Whoever retreats will die. In the end, the robbers rely on guns, ammunition, and numbers. The advantage is draining the soldiers."

"So that village is gone?" Vikker continued to ask, but the smile was no longer on his face.

"No, that group of robbers stayed, they also changed their identities, scattered soldiers. And that group of soldiers were executed by the robbers, and their bones may still be buried somewhere in the village." John face The drunkenness was gone, but he said very seriously.

"Maybe in those years, the number of corpses in that place was still increasing, because there were always people who didn't listen to leave the place and asked the robber chief to take his share. But the robber chief did not want to share it with Anyone, so he executed some at the hands of the military, and then some secretly over the years."

"And the rest are basically his confidants, or have lost the heart to fight, so they even guessed the robber chief's intentions. They didn't have any choice, because they found that as long as they stayed in the village and didn't talk nonsense If you don't run around, you won't worry about food, which is much better than being a robber."

"That's an outrageous story, hehe." Vicker suddenly burst out laughing, but then asked very seriously, "Who the **** are you?"

His eyes were full of doubts, and there were some unexplained flashes.

"John Wick ~ a fur buyer, but he also helps people deal with some troubles while buying." John said.

"Trouble? What trouble?" Vicker asked.

"The trouble of moving," John said.

"Ah~ it's someone from that company again, is that what you want?" Vicker asked with a puzzled expression.

John looked at him and said, "I don't care about your past, hand over that contract and cooperate with them to move the village away."

"Of course~ I'll let them give you enough time to clean up those corpses buried in the village."

John really had no interest in seeking justice for the living old guy and asking Vicker to share his wealth, nor did he think about asking for an explanation for the soldiers who had been dead for thirty years.

He can't handle that wide.

"You're more of a detective than a businessman." Vicker heard John's words after a long silence, and then said this sentence.

"Where's the contract? Did you ruin it?" John asked.

Vicker glanced at John, then got up and walked into the house. After a while he came up with a signed contract.

"Give me a week here~www.NovelMTL.com~, and I will let them start migrating in a week, and I will let someone contact you at that time." Vicker handed the contract into his hands and said.

There are two contracts, one for Alyssa's company and one for the village. Alyssa's company address was clearly written on it, and he naturally knew where it was.

John nodded, he put away the contract, and then got up to get out of here.

"I received the money for the fur, you don't need to give it again." Vicker said behind him.

Hearing this, John thought about it and turned around and asked, "Does your son know about your assets in Saint Denis?"

Vicker glanced at John and said, "Yes, but he always believed that I was an officer in the Southern Army. These things were obtained by corruption and looting, and he was very interested in leading the village to prosperity. This time, I forcibly intervened. Yes, in fact, I didn't refuse to relocate, but I certainly didn't agree to it before I dealt with the corpses."

"I see." John nodded, then walked out.

"Mr. Wick, you can go to my house in Saint Denis if you are free. I think I can thank you for your kindness." Vicker said the last sentence leisurely behind him.

When they went outside, Nick and Zhao An were already standing in front of the carriage full of furs, waiting for his orders.

"Come on, we have other things to do," John said to the two.

Then he turned to Donne, who was standing aside, and said, "Mr. Donne, thank you for your hospitality, and lead the village to prosperity."

Donne, who inexplicably accepted John's encouragement, nodded blankly, and then watched the three of them leave in two carriages. Click to download this site APP, massive novels, free to read!
