He's in the west, he's a cowboy

Rhodes, Gray's tavern.

There was a circle of security guards standing outside the tavern, and they all seemed to be the personal armed forces of the nobles. Each of them holds advanced and brand-new weapons, at least they look much more powerful than those policemen and Pinkerton.

There were only two people sitting at the table in the middle of the tavern. One is Zhou Xing, and the other is Congressman Jones, William’s old friend.

Congressman Jones looked at Zhou Xing, who was sitting not far from him, and frowned quietly. He didn't like this guy very much, and he didn't want to come here at all. But there is no way, who allows him to have a good relationship with William.

This guy didn't know what means he used to get close to the big boss. As a subordinate of the big boss, Jones had no choice but to make this trip.

The two of them sat at the table in silence, each holding their own wine glasses and drinking slowly. After a while, the door of the tavern was pushed open, and three people walked in.

"Mr. Jones, I haven't seen you for so long. It seems that you are in good spirits." William greeted his old friend with a smile.

Mr. Jones was also very happy to see his old friend. He stood up quickly and the two gave him a big hug.

However, Zhou Zheng and Zhou Xing were not so happy. They looked at each other with gloomy faces, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

"I'll leave this place to you two, and we'll go upstairs to catch up on old times." William smiled and pulled Mr. Jones up, and the two of them went upstairs with a smile on their face, handing over the venue to them.

"Junior brother, it seems that you have been doing well recently." Zhou Xing smiled and spoke first. He looked at Zhou Zheng's high-spirited look and said with a smile.

"Of course, it's much better than you. At least my legs are not broken, right?" Zhou Zheng didn't show any pretense of politeness to him and just stabbed his lung tube.

This sentence is really heartbreaking. Zhou Xing's leg was shot by Arthur. With the level of technology in this world, there is no possibility of recovery. Even if he doesn't have to amputate, he is considered a great doctor.

Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, Zhou Xing's face darkened three degrees, and he said in a sinister tone: "I thought you were here for peace talks."

"Of course it's peace talks, but we don't need to pretend to be good to you or me. If you have any requests, just say it directly." Zhou Zheng pulled out the chair opposite Zhou Xing, sat down on the chair, and opened his eyes. Look directly at Zhou Xing.

"Then I won't beat around the bush. White Snake is with you, right? Hand her over, and we won't mess with the river in the future." Seeing this, Zhou Xing stopped talking nonsense. We are all old foxes, there is no need to talk nonsense. . He made his request decisively.

"It seems that this woman is very important to you." Zhou Zheng said with a smile: "She is in my hands, but if I hand her over to you, what good will it do?"

"What benefits do you want?" Zhou Xing asked with squinted eyes: "As long as it's not too much, I can agree to it."

"Use all your methods to cancel the arrest warrant for my people." Zhou Zheng said without hesitation: "I know you have some connections now, so this shouldn't be difficult."

"Don't be kidding, this is not something I can think of at all." Zhou Xing sneered and said, "You really think highly of me. I don't have that much ability to influence the police and Pinkerton."

"It seems that I really think highly of you. Your methods are not that powerful." Zhou Zheng sneered and said, "Then let's pay the ransom, fifty thousand US dollars."

When Zhou Xing heard this number, he couldn't help but laugh: "Stop talking about it, this woman is not worth fifty thousand US dollars. Ten thousand dollars, one hand to pay and one hand to deliver the goods."

"Twenty-five thousand, I'll send her over in three days."

"make a deal."

These two brothers are quite decisive in doing business...

Zhou Zheng sat on the ground and raised the price, and Zhou Xing also exchanged money on the spot. He is really not short of money now. Although twenty-five thousand US dollars is a lot, he can still get it.

In other words, there is no drug lord in the world who is short of money...

This woman is worthless to Zhou Zheng, but if Zhou Zheng lets her out or uses this woman's identity to make an issue, it will still bring a lot of trouble to Zhou Xing.

Zhou Zheng also knew, but he didn't have the time or energy to do such a thankless thing. From her cooperation with Daqi, we knew that this was a person who was smart but not very wise.

Cooperating with such people will lead you into a ditch sooner or later. It's better to exchange some money for her while she is still valuable. After all, their business requires a lot of start-up capital.

If he really wanted to start a war with Zhou Xing, there was no need to use such small means.

After the two of them finished talking, there was another silence. It was Zhou Xing who spoke first: "Junior brother, are you really not going to help me? If the two of us work together..."

Zhou Zheng directly interrupted Zhou Xing: "There is no need to say this. We are not on the same road. As the saying goes, there is no mutual conspiracy. From now on, you will take your Yangguan Road and I will cross my single-plank bridge."

Seeing Zhou Zheng refuse so decisively, Zhou Xing would not be surprised. It would be strange if Zhou Zheng agreed.

"I want to know why you did this?" Zhou Zheng asked curiously.

"Money, power. Isn't it enough?" Zhou Xing asked curiously: "Aren't you?"

"Of course not." Zhou Zheng stood up and said, "As I said before, we two have different paths, so there is no need to say anything more. I hope we will be together forever." After saying that, Zhou Zheng took John directly out of the tavern. .

"Is this the end?" John looked at Zhou Zheng in confusion: "Is it that simple?"

"Otherwise? What else do you want?" Zhou Zheng asked curiously.

"I...I at least thought it would be like what the book Jack read said..." John frowned and said, "Sure enough, the books are all lies."

Zhou Zheng smiled: "It's just that our matter is relatively simple. We are too far apart, so there is no need to talk about some things."

If they were close, it would definitely not be so simple. At least the sphere of influence would have to be divided in the future.

But one of them is in the mountain pasture of West Elizabeth, and the other is in the big city of Lemoyne. If they are really unlucky, they will never meet each other in this life.

"I still find it unbelievable. It's so simple. We got 25,000 US dollars? We didn't pay anything." John still felt a little unreal.

"Of course, with this money, we can start to expand our industry." Zhou Zheng said with a smile: "When I go back, I will ask someone to get that woman over, but if you come to get the money, you will have to run away again. One trip.”

"Leave it to me, I will bring the money back." John nodded. After all, with so much money, you can't just find someone casually: "Then let's go back like this?"

"William will stay here for a few days. He still has some things to do. We can just take the boat back." Zhou Zheng put his arm around John's shoulders and said with a smile: "I heard that there is a very good tavern in Blackwater Town. How about The two of us tonight???”
