Wilderness Redemption Tour

"Mr. Margaret, we caught it." Sally Nash couldn't hide her excitement and announced the good news as soon as she saw Margaret.

"Well done, Sally. I have always had a good eye for people, and you will definitely become a great animal trainer in the future." Margaret took out the diamond from her pocket and handed it to Sadie, saying, "I am a person who keeps my promises. According to my promise, this priceless treasure is now yours, ma'am."

Sadie took the gem and said, trying to maintain a calm tone, "Very good, we are even now."

"Have a nice day, ma'am. And you, sir." Margaret bowed to Sadie and Lin Yan in the manner of a stage curtain call, and then walked towards the carriage. "Thank you for your help, and now we should say goodbye."

Sally Nash also waved goodbye to the two and said, "Goodbye, Mr. Custer, Mrs. Adler. When you see me again, I will be the top card of the circus." After that, she added unconfidently, "Maybe... At least I'm a card."

After waving goodbye to the circus of only two people, Sadie then raised the diamond in her hand and examined it carefully in the sunlight. Seeing her eager look, Lin Yan couldn't help but teasing: "It's really worth coming out today. Not only can I relax, but I also got such a big diamond. This stone should be worth at least a few hundred dollars, right?"

Sadie glanced at him and said proudly, "Some things cannot be measured by value. This stone is my reward for saving you just now. What do you think?"

Lin Yan laughed softly and thought that women are quite similar to crows. No matter what their personality is, they can't resist the temptation of shiny little things. If I tell you that such things are very cheap in the future, I don't know if you will still like them...

"If you like it, keep it." Lin Yan is not short of money now, so he doesn't care too much about this. He took out his pocket watch to check the time and said to Sadie, "It's still a while before dinner time, how about we go shopping?"

Sadie was immersed in the charming light effect of the diamond in her hand at the moment, and didn't care what Lin Yan said at all. She nodded while admiring it and responded: "Whatever, go wherever you want."

Seeing that Sadie did not hide her obsession with diamonds, Lin Yan shook his head and smiled bitterly, then lightly stepped on the horse's belly and walked towards the direction of the Caliga Plantation.

After walking a few steps, Lin Yan looked back at Sadie worriedly and found that although her attention was not on him, she was following him. Lin Yan then speeded up a little.

It didn't take long for the two to arrive at the Gray family mansion on the Caliga Plantation.

Today, the Gray family has lost its former glory. The guards who were originally on duty at the gate of the manor are nowhere to be seen. The tobacco field next to it is in a state of decay. The plants that were once burned by the fire have completely died. The entire field is pitch black, without a trace of life.

Lin Yan rode his horse and strolled through the manor. The bloodstains scattered on the ground silently told the tragic situation here. There were not many scattered bloodstains, which indirectly showed that the Gray family had been seriously injured after the ambush in Rhodes, and the visit of Micah and Bill yesterday made the family disappear from Rhodes completely.

Looking at the luxuriously decorated three-story villa in front of him, which looked intact from the outside, Lin Yan felt sad. He wondered if this manor would fall into disrepair like the Shadibelai Manor where he lived now, and become a den for vagrants and robbers.

When leaving the manor, Lin Yan suddenly remembered something Arthur had told him, so he said casually: "I heard from Arthur before that a young man from the Gray family is dating a girl from the Braithwaite family. I wonder if the two of them survived the disaster..."

Sadie had come back to her senses from her obsession with the gems. After hearing Lin Yan's words, she asked back, "What do you think? Do you want them to live or disappear from this world with their families?"

Lin Yan said without thinking: "Of course I hope they can survive. The two families have been at odds for so many years, and finally a pair of young people have appeared who may break this situation. Even if their families have committed many sins, the love they pursue is pure. What's wrong with them?"

Hearing Lin Yan talking about love, Sadie couldn't help but laugh out loud and teased, "When did you understand love?"

"I don't understand. Haven't you read a few books on this subject?" Lin Yan muttered softly, and then analyzed seriously: "Let's not talk about this for now. The girl from the Braithwaite family must still be alive. As for the boy from the Gray family, I hope he can escape..."

After walking out of the Caliga Plantation, just as Lin Yan was about to return the same way, a black man in a suit and tie sighing on the side of the road caught his attention.

In this era, although black people in this country can enjoy the same rights as white people, the concepts of slavery and racism that are deeply rooted in the hearts of most people are still the mainstream thinking in society. Most black people still cannot enjoy a good education, are engaged in menial jobs, and continue to be oppressed by white people.

But the black man who appeared in front of Lin Yan was wearing a well-fitting vertical striped suit, a purple vest, and a bright red tie tied into a bow tie on his chest. His not-so-long curly hair was thickly oiled and parted in the middle. With the shiny black leather bag beside him, he looked like a successful man.

The first time Lin Yan saw him, he felt that this passerby was unusual, so he walked up to him and said, "How are you, sir?"

The black man, who was staring at the ground in a daze, raised his head alertly. When he found that the two people "watching" him were two white people, he said cautiously: "Sorry, am I disturbing you? If so, I'm leaving now."

"Ah?" Lin Yan was a little confused by this unexpected answer.

"Sir, Madam, I didn't mean to offend you. If I did offend you unintentionally..."

"Stop, stop, stop. I think you misunderstood me." Lin Yan interrupted the black man's defense and explained, "I just saw you sitting on the side of the road sighing. I came here just to ask if you need help, that's all. Do you think you're offending us just by sitting here?"

"I don't know." The black man said blankly, "But I don't know how I offended those guys just now. Maybe they took away my carriage because of my reckless words."
