Wilderness Redemption Tour

"This incident clearly violates the peace treaty signed three years ago. They are forcing us to start a war." Luo Yu's son, Feiying, said gritting his teeth.

Feiying is a young man with obvious Indian ancestry, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and long hair simply braided behind his head. Unlike his father, Chief Luoyu, Lin Yan can still see the rebelliousness that is unique to young people in his eyes.

"No, child, there will be no war." Luo Yu patted Feiying's shoulder and comforted him: "We can't afford another war. These invaders are getting stronger and stronger, and we are far from their opponents."

"This is all because of oil, Mr. Morgan." Evelyn Miller explained, "I know what these government officials did, but I need evidence. A few months ago, a group of prospectors entered their territory. They submitted a survey report to Leviticus Cornwall and the state government, claiming that there is a lot of oil underground in that territory."

"With the Indians and oil, it would be strange if the US government could hold back from taking action. In my opinion, war is a matter of time..." Lin Yan muttered softly.

"So, you want me to steal this report?" Arthur asked.

"That's right." Evelyn Miller admitted generously. He pointed at the Indian father and son in front of him, "It's obvious that they are the parties involved. It's obviously not possible for them to do it." Then he pointed at himself, "It's even more obvious that I definitely can't do it."

"In order to avoid conflict, we need an outsider," Luo Yu added.

"I know this idea is ridiculous, but we are really desperate. Ever since I told the mayor about this last night, he has refused to see us." Evelyn Miller said frankly that he could not think of any other way except stealing the documents.

Just as Arthur was about to make a decision, Lin Yan reached out and touched his arm, then stepped back a few steps: "Arthur, come here."

Arthur apologized and came closer with a curious look on his face: "What is it?"

Lin Yan leaned over and whispered in his ear: "I think we should not interfere in this matter. This is oil! Even if we steal the documents, the government will not give up this piece of wealth under their noses. Instead of helping them steal things, it is better to persuade them to move as soon as possible."

"But didn't you say the enemy of my enemy in front of Dutch this morning..." Arthur was a little puzzled, but subconsciously lowered his voice.

Before he could finish, Lin Yan spoke up, "I didn't know about oil at that time! Once we had oil, the nature of the matter changed. Nowadays, industrial development is inseparable from oil. If we help them, we will be enemies with the government. We already have enough enemies now. If we add the government, we will be dead."

Seeing Lin Yan's anxious look, Arthur also realized the seriousness of the matter. He nodded seriously: "I understand. I will refuse them."

Walking back to face Evelyn Miller and the Luo Yu father and son again, Arthur said to the three of them with an apologetic look on his face: "Gentlemen, we are sorry for your predicament, but we have made enough enemies now. It is obviously not something we can afford to offend the state government again to help you. You should find someone else." After that, Arthur was ready to turn around and leave.

"We will give you very generous rewards, Mr. Morgan." When Luo Yu found out that the helper was about to leave, he hurriedly promised him a huge profit.

Generous reward? Hearing this, Lin Yan was a little unable to walk, and Arthur also stopped. The two looked at each other tacitly, and Lin Yan nodded to him imperceptibly. Arthur then turned around again and asked bluntly: "How much can you offer?"

"See, I've said it before, these helpers are nothing but a group of profit-seeking people." Eagle was quite disdainful of Arthur's behavior of only caring about money and not people.

Arthur chuckled. "Two states have put a bounty on my head. My friend, the government dislikes me as much as you do. Like you, I've been on the run since I can remember. If I take your job, we'll probably be stuck here for the rest of our lives. I have to think about our escape plan, right? If we only have a few tricks up our sleeve, it's not worth the risk."

"We understand." Luo Yu listened carefully and said the price he could offer: "We are willing to pay you one thousand dollars for this."

"One thousand..." Arthur muttered as he turned his head to look at Lin Yan again.

Only one thousand... Lin Yan lowered his head and thought for a while. Normally, one thousand dollars is a very generous reward for just stealing a document, but this time it is different. This time they have to face the entire Lemoyne State Government and their old friend, Leviticus Cornwall. Is it worth taking such a risk for a thousand dollars? This is a question worth pondering.

Luo Yu noticed that Arthur kept looking at Lin Yan, as if waiting for him to make a decision. He knew that Lin Yan was the one who made the decision in this negotiation. Seeing that Lin Yan was still hesitant, he thought about it and took the initiative to raise his price: "Two thousand."

When Arthur heard that the other party had doubled the price, he was actually tempted, but Lin Yan still looked conflicted after hearing it, so Arthur did not make a decision for Lin Yan too early.

Luo Yu hardened his heart and said, "Three thousand! This is the highest price we can offer!"

Lin Yan then nodded to Arthur with an embarrassed look on his face, as if he had suffered a great loss.

This made the hot-blooded Feiying furious. If his father hadn't been around, he really wanted to teach this bastard, who looked about the same age as him, a lesson.

"Then it's settled." Seeing Arthur agree, Luo Yu said slowly, "It's better to do it today than to wait for a better day. You should act today. Feiying will take you to where they keep the documents. Mr. Miller and I will wait for the city councilor here."

After saying that, Luo Yu took out a heavy cloth bag from his arms and handed it to Fei Ying, then pulled him aside and gave him a few words of advice.

Arthur and Sadie also surrounded Lin Yan, praising him for his business skills. They said that a job that was originally worth one thousand yuan was doubled, and they said he was a great negotiator. Lin Yan felt a little flattered when he heard this.

"Let's go." After listening to his father's instructions, Feiying shook the heavy cloth bag in his hand at Arthur and the other two: "The money is here. I'll give it to you after the job is done. Do you have any objections?"

"No problem." Arthur nodded and said, "Then please lead the way and tell us the detailed information of the place on the way."
