Chapter 96 The End of Braithwaite
Looking at John's unbelievable face and the blood hole between his eyebrows, Arthur on the side couldn't help showing a look of surprise:

"Dutch?!"

He didn't expect that Dach shot and killed the hostage he was negotiating with before he got the key to the basement.

Marcus died and he died.

After all, this guy has never given them a good face since the beginning of the cooperation, and even looked down on them in various ways.

Everyone in the gang can't wait to put their guns in this foul-mouthed bastard and give him a shot.

John, however, was different.

Compared with Marcus, John, who respects Rorschach more and has a less violent personality, has a normal attitude towards the Van der Lin gang.

Moreover, he has already told the exact location of the gold bar, so there is no need to kill him.

In this regard, Dach just turned around and said with a serious expression:
"From the moment they planned to do something to us, there was only "life and death" between us."

"Cut the grass and roots, so they won't pose a threat to us..."

Hearing this reluctant explanation, Arthur frowned, and couldn't help retorting: "But, I haven't got the key to the basement yet..."

"Then look for it! If we can't find it, we'll blow open the basement door!"

Meeting Dutch's unquestionable eyes, and then lowering his head to cast a glance at Mrs. Catherine, who was lying on her son's body and howling constantly, Arthur also understood that it was impossible for the other party to take the initiative to hand over the key.

Lowering his head, he responded in a low voice, "It's what you say..."

"Go out and help other people, let these bastards see it, and the price of messing with us!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Dutch grabbed Mrs. Catherine by the collar and dragged her out of the small living room.

And Arthur, who was slightly behind, just took a deep look at the dying John, and then turned around and followed...

The constant gunshots from all over the manor, as well as the mournful wailing of Mrs. Catherine, seemed to have heralded the victory or defeat of this dispute.

In this battle, the Van der Lin gang mobilized almost all the forces in the gang.

With the fighting power of the Van der Lin gang, not to mention a local snake family, even if an army came, they would be able to fight.

Coupled with the environment bonus of the leader being killed and the night attack, the Braithwaite family could not organize an effective counterattack at all.

The family guards who came to support from all over the manor, like the gourd baby who came to save grandpa, were shot and fell to the ground one after another under the excellent marksmanship of the Van der Lin gang.

Of course, they didn't forget that the purpose of this night attack on the Braithwaite family was not only to deal with these inbreeding bastards, but also the gold they hid.

So, after searching the entire bedroom of Mrs. Catherine, Dutch, who couldn't find the key to the basement, had to ask Bill, who had experience in using explosives in the gang, to blow open the iron door in the basement with explosives!
Fortunately, the structure of the mansion is still strong, and the whole building did not collapse due to the explosion.

Amidst the flying dust, Dutch, Arthur, and Bill, who pulled a face towel to cover their nose and mouth, walked into the dark basement with a kerosene lamp.

In the basement, there are various oil paintings, porcelain, furniture and other valuable things.

However, what attracted the attention of the three of them was the small iron box placed on a round table!

Pry the lock with a snap of the rifle butt, and open the iron box to see that there are golden gold bars stored in it!

Visual inspection, the number is about forty or fifty.

According to the weight of a standard gold bar of 1000g, the price of 1g of gold is 0.7 US dollars, and a gold bar is worth [-] US dollars.

Forty or fifty gold bars, that's more than thirty thousand dollars!
And this is almost all the savings of the Braithwaite family over the years.

After finding the attractive gold bars, Fan der Lin helped everyone complete the purpose of this trip.

Before leaving, Dach did not forget to give the last order:
"Okay, burn this damn place down, and go to hell with these self-righteous bastards!"

Witnessing the crackling raging fire that gradually engulfed the tall mansion, the Braithwaite family, which has been rooted in Rhodes for more than 120 years, came to an end.

Fan der Lin helped everyone on the horse, but their expressions were different:

Dach's eyes were flickering with madness and enjoyment.

Hosea's eyes flashed with worry and thought.

But in Arthur's eyes, there was unbearable and guilt.

All kinds of complex emotions are intertwined in my heart.

Arthur's mood was the same as the last time in Heishui Town, aggrieved and helpless.

Things, seem to be screwed up again...

. . . . . .

When Braithwaite's mansion was in flames, Rorschach, who was in Valentine Djojic's laboratory, didn't know it.

He just looked at the strange device in Zhuo Jiqi's hands with eyes full of curiosity, and couldn't help asking:

"Is this the remote detonator you were talking about?"

Hearing this, Zhuo Jiqi, who was wearing a white scientific research coat, couldn't help but nodded abruptly and said, "That's right, this is another military application of my radio technology!"

I saw him holding something similar to a compass in his hand.

However, this device has two more aluminum antennas than the compass.

"Its principle is like this, through the electromagnetic field, electromagnetic waves will be generated, and the electromagnetic waves will be transmitted to the conductor on the bomb, thereby triggering the lead wire of the bomb to achieve the effect of remote detonation..."

Hearing all kinds of professional terms that came out of Zhuo Jiqi's mouth, Luo Xia, who was a liberal arts student, started to have a headache.

Frowning, he raised his hand mercilessly to interrupt the excited Zhuojiqi, "Stop it, I don't care how it works, I just want to know if this device is safe and controllable. How far is the range."

"Of course it's safe! I'm the genius Marko Drogic! As for the range..."

"Come on, I just made an experimental sample here, we can try it..."

After finishing speaking, Zhuojiqi picked up a simple version of the long-range bomb made of four sticks of explosives and a remote control device on the table, and walked out of the laboratory.

Seeing this, Luo Xia frowned and followed closely behind.

Outside the laboratory is an open space surrounded by wooden fences, which is also Zhuojiqi's field experiment space.

Stride forward, came to the center of the open space, placed the bomb under a dummy made of wood, then returned to the back door of the laboratory, and stood side by side with Rorschach.

"The distance between the bomb and the detonator is about 50 meters. As long as I pull the switch here, the bomb under the dummy will bang...explode!"

While talking, Zhuojiqi danced and danced, as if eager to let Rorschach understand how powerful this device is.

"Can I control it?"

"Of course!"

After finishing speaking, Zhuojiqi handed the detonator to Rorschach.

After taking it and weighing it, Rorschach put his fingers on a small lever, and stared fixedly at the dummy in the distance.

With a pull of the hand, about a few tenths of a second later, a loud noise suddenly exploded.

The wooden dummy in the distance was directly blown into sawdust, not even slag left!

With this effect, Rorschach couldn't help giving a thumbs up to the proud Zhuo Jiqi:

One word, strong!
