The news of Andorra's delisting from the West quickly spread to the entire West. Andorra has a good reputation in the West. He usually keeps a low profile in social situations, and everyone only knows about him from other people's mouths. But generally speaking, they are all mine owners operating in the wilderness of the west. Even if they have not spoken to Andorra, they have heard about it.
Now, Andor is dead, and is said to have been hanged on a guard tower outside the mine. This has made many people feel an inexplicable anger with the same hatred. Dulin's approach kind of broke the rules of Westworld. No matter how much he wanted to get the mine in Andorra, he had to maintain his appearance, right? Not to mention hiring those horse bandits to bloodbath the mines in Andorra, it is not impossible for him to use his own manpower, but can he not show up himself and claim to be responsible for this
He was provoking Chi Guoguo, a rule that has long been established in the Western World. While making some people blush, they also felt that people like Du Lin who couldn't distinguish between priorities should be kicked out.
This is the West, not the East Coast, not the South, and his tactics won't work very well here.
The day after Andorra was hanged, Mr. Jack made a phone call to Dulin. He introduced Andorra to Dulin, but now that Dulin has killed Andorra, no matter whether he, the middleman, has the obligation to uphold justice. , he must stand up.
Asking what happened at this time is not only as simple as justice, but also to protect himself and the organization's face.
"I didn't expect that your temper is still the same as before. Is it because we can't agree on the price, or is he so arrogant that he doesn't look you in the eyes when he speaks?" Mr. Jack said about this matter in a joking tone, He didn't want to cause a bigger conflict with Du Lin. He called just to protect his own image. Even if Du Lin gave him a very absurd reason, he could use it to silence some people.
It’s not that I don’t speak for Andorra, but Dulin did give a “sufficient” reason.
Du Lin was not surprised that Mr. Jack would contact him. He could actually contact Mr. Jack, but that way he would not be able to take the initiative in his own hands. Maybe Mr. Jack would ask Andorra to compensate Du Lin for his losses. Or sell the mine to Dulin at a low price, which is not what Dulin wants. He had truly realized this when chatting with Mr. Fedeli. He could use money to get most of the things he wanted in the West, but he could not get people's fear.
Fear actually represents a very bad state in emotions. A person is feared by others not because of how great he is, but because of how hateful he is.
But this is a common practice in the civilized world. People need to maintain their image and make themselves look not only wealthy but also kind-hearted. Otherwise, why would people be so willing to hold and participate in charity galas? Isn't it just to show that you use your wealth to relieve the poor, to show your good social virtues, and then to arm yourself with public opinion to prevent others from easily hurting you
In the West, these things were of no use. A good reputation for kindness will only bring disaster. Those bandits dare not touch those big people with a bad reputation, but big people with a good reputation can still test the bottom line. So here, a bad name is more useful than a good name.
Look, it's very effective, isn't it? In just two days, his notoriety has spread back to Otis City. This is much more useful than spending money to gain status.
Regarding Mr. Jack's question, Dulin told him the truth, "Mr. Andorra you introduced to me planned to swallow me with my skin and flesh. In order to avoid some problems that would continue to ferment and eventually fail, I used the simplest method." way to solve this problem. By the way, I would like to ask, is this the ‘honest user’ you introduced to me?”
Du Lin's words left Mr. Jack speechless. He would not doubt Du Lin, because Du Lin did not need him to doubt. Comparing the identity, status, and wealth of Du Lin and Andor, Andor is not considered a powerful person at all. Du Lin has no need to do such despicable things to lower his level, so it must be Andor. There's something wrong with you.
Mr. Jack had heard about some of the laws of the Western World. At that time, he thought that this might just be some Westerners' "advocacy" for the beauty of their hometown. This was a way to make people fear the West and people from the West. He didn't expect that all of that was true, and what he didn't expect was that his client actually had a problem and wanted to murder Du Lin. This was absolutely unforgivable.
Mr. Jack immediately came to the rescue, "I'm very sorry, Mr. Dulin, I will announce this matter personally. As a middleman, I was very derelict in my duty, which caused some negative effects on both of us. What happens next I will handle the problem and I will definitely come up with a result that satisfies you.”
"No, I will handle this matter personally, and you don't need to worry that it will affect our cooperation and friendship. It just so happened that I took advantage of this incident to open up the situation in the west. People here should learn something, at least They have to know what awe is!" Dulin looked at the people standing by the wall, then said some more words to Mr. Jack, and hung up the phone after Mr. Jack repeatedly apologized.
Although Dulin said that he would handle the matter himself, he believed that Mr. Jack would do something else, at least show his own attitude.
He looked at the people beside the wall, an old woman with gray hair, a well-maintained woman in her forties who looked like she was only in her thirties, and four young people. The oldest is only twenty-three or four years old, and the youngest is only fourteen or fifteen years old. They stood by the wall in fear, not even daring to move. These people were family members of Andorra, and his family also lived in the west. It is true that many places in the west are not as good as those in the south and east coast, but for people who are already used to living here, this is the best choice.
Du Lin asked Dufo to invite these people back overnight, and there were still some documents that needed to be signed by them, such as the free transfer agreement for the mine and the transfer agreements for other industries and properties.
What Andor planned to do at that time, now Dulin will return it to him exactly as it was, in his own way.
"There are several documents here. Who will sign the two ladies?" Fedeli's lawyer immediately took the documents on the table in his hand, walked over, and explained the content and nature of these documents to them. Du Lin put his feet up on the head of Andorra's favorite white lion. It was a treasure that no one in Andorra would touch, but now it became Du Lin's stepping stone.
The two oldest women are both Andor's wives. Like many elderly locals, Andor is also a senior priest of the Tushen Religion. He firmly believes that the gods enshrined in the Tushen Religion can bless him and his family. The family can live safely on this land. The Tushen Religion itself is a male-oriented religious organization that advocates that one husband can marry multiple women. Many people have joined the Tushen Religion because of this.
It is worth mentioning that many mine owners and wealthy people in the west are members of the Tushen Sect. The potential power of the Tushen Sect here is very huge. A slightly younger woman like this is a believer trained by the Tushen Sect. . They use this method to place loyal believers next to people with status in the west, maybe for money, maybe for power. In short, the Earth God Religion seems to only have something to do with those old witches who like to eat horse shit. Guanxi is actually a deeply hidden organization.
Until now, no one has noticed that in the west, the power of the Tushen Cult and the state government are almost equal. They have never taken the initiative to appear in front of people, but only continue to draw people into the Tushen Cult through certain methods.
As for what they want to do, no one knows, maybe only themselves.
"If we sign, will you let us go?" Andorra's original wife held a pen in her hand, but she did not sign immediately. Instead, she asked first.
She, including her "sister" and children all knew the news of Andorra's death. In addition to sadness, the emotion that now filled their hearts was fear. No one knew what would happen to her. It seemed that this handsome young man was not difficult to talk to, so she asked, hoping that Du Lin could give her an answer that would make her relax.
"Of course I'm giving you freedom!" Dulin shrugged, "I'm not going to deceive an elder like you. No matter what Mr. Andor did to me and my brothers, he has already paid the price. I What you get is the compensation you gave me!”
The old woman smiled reluctantly, "I believe you are a great person, so I also believe in your words. I will sign now. I hope your words can be fulfilled!" She lowered her head and signed all the documents. , starting from today, the wealth accumulated by Mr. Andor, his father, and his father’s father over generations will all become Dulin’s. They have lost everything, and from today on they are the same as those they look down on, the lowest of the low.
After signing his name on several documents, Mr. Fedeli's lawyer reviewed them again and thought that Dulin nodded to indicate that there were no problems with these documents. Dulin shook his finger and said, "Give them freedom!"
When Du Lin said these words, these people were obviously relieved. The old woman resisted the urge to leave, and took the initiative to say goodbye to Du Lin before walking out the door.
The youngest child in the group, Andorra, was only seventeen years old. She was the last one to walk. When she was about to leave, the person outside the door closed the door.
When the girl looked at Du Lin in fear, several gunshots suddenly sounded outside the door!
