Wilderness Redemption Tour
Chapter 308: Colm in Despair
Just as the lawyer on the gallows was about to read the third page of the manuscript in his hand, Dutch appeared on the corner across the street.
He walked quickly to Lin Yan and Sadie, and when he was still some distance away from them, he said to them, "Let's go in." After that, he walked straight towards the crowd without stopping.
Lin Yan and Sadie followed Dutch closely. Dutch said as they walked, "I just took out two people in the building over there. Arthur went to the rooftop, and the sniper guarding there should have been taken out by him. There are only three of us here now, and there are also three people from the O'Driscoll Gang. We each have one, so we don't need to kill them all. We just need to restrict their movements and wait for the hanging to be over."
"Understood." Arthur and Sadie responded, and the three of them dispersed on the spot and acted separately.
On the gallows, Colm, who was standing on the edge just now, was led to the gallows by two police officers behind him. In the eyes of the onlookers, Colm, who had one foot on the line of death, did not show any pessimism of a dying man. When he heard the lawyer explain to the audience in accordance with the procedure that his punishment was fair and legal, he even laughed.
"Ha! Yes, you may execute me. I am a very bad man, but these accusations of yours..."
"Quiet!" The lawyer interrupted him before he could finish. "This is not the court where you are being tried, but the place where you will be executed according to the verdict."
While he was speaking, the police officer standing behind Colm took out a piece of cloth that he had prepared long ago from his pocket and roughly strangled his mouth, making him unable to make any sound.
The backs of the three O'Driscoll gang members scattered in the crowd were quite easy to recognize. After all, ordinary citizens were either wearing work clothes or shirts, vests and suits. No one would have the leisure to wear a windbreaker in the city, so even if Lin Yan and his friends only looked for people in the crowd based on their clothes and backs, they would be able to find them accurately.
Lin Yan found a man with a beard and messy hair. Accompanied by the lawyer on the stage saying, "Colm O'Driscoll, you will be hanged immediately until you die." Lin Yan walked behind the man, pulled out a gun and put it against his waist, while strangling his neck with his left arm. Before the man tried to struggle and resist, Lin Yan's warning reached his ears first. "If you don't want to go to hell with your boss, don't act rashly."
Although Lin Yan's tone was calm, his left arm tightly around the man's neck was the best reason to convince him. The moment the O'Driscoll gang member felt the surging power, he decisively gave up the idea of resisting.
On the gallows, Colm, gagged, witnessed his confidants being subdued one by one by Dutch and his men. His expression changed drastically, and he wanted to say something with his eyes wide open, but because of the cloth on his mouth, he could only make a "mumble" sound. Then, with his last hope, he looked at the roof of the building opposite, but what greeted him was Arthur's mocking smile.
At this moment, Colm was completely panicked. He was breathing rapidly, his body was shaking slightly, and his eyes kept rolling back and forth in his eye sockets. He was thinking about how to avoid death.
But when the soft but strong noose was put around his neck, he was completely desperate. At this moment, apart from relying on his men, he had no chance of survival. And this only chance was also taken away by Dutch, his "old friend" whom he had known for most of his life.
"This is not a hasty execution. Although we do not like to do this, we must carry out this mission if our civilization is to prosper." After saying the last polite words, the lawyer turned his head to look at the police officer standing next to the joystick, and then looked at the audience who were looking forward to it, and asked: "Gentlemen, are you ready?"
The audience waiting to watch the execution had already become impatient, so when they saw the lawyer asking questions, they naturally responded to him very enthusiastically.
The lawyer nodded slightly with a smug look, raised his hand to suppress the noise. Then he turned to Colm again, whose face was as pale as death, and said in an extremely solemn tone: "Colm O'Driscoll, may God, in his infinite wisdom, forgive your soul."
After saying that, he waved to the police officer standing next to the joystick and said, "Okay, let's do it."
Colm had closed his eyes in despair when his lawyer was questioning the audience, but just before he felt death was approaching, he opened his eyes as if possessed by a ghost.
The last scene Colm saw was the rapidly rising crowd and Dutch’s extremely satisfied smiling face in the crowd.
As Colm died, the crowd erupted in cheers. Obviously, Colm and his O'Driscoll gang had a very bad reputation in the hearts of the people of Saint Denis, and his death was welcomed by most people.
The "performance" ended with the bow of the protagonist Colm. Seeing the crowd beginning to disperse, Lin Yan exerted a little force with his left arm, strangled the O'Driscoll gang member, and then left Guito Square with the crowd as if nothing had happened.
On the side of the road opposite the square, Lin Yan and Dutchadi met again. The three of them waited there for a while. When Arthur came down from the roof, the four of them walked back to the hotel while talking about Colm's performance just now.
After returning to the room and changing into their clothes, none of the four stayed in St. Denis for long. Including Dutch, the four of them were all thinking about Molly's incident.
It was already noon when the group of four returned to the camp. Lin Yan observed from a distance on horseback. The entire camp was as quiet as usual. Most of the gunmen had gone out to look for targets, and the logistics staff who had been busy all morning also got a short rest.
Among these people, Lin Yan saw Aunt Susan chatting with Ms. Bell, Hosea sitting alone in the shade reading a newspaper, and the uncle who was still wearing the red shirt he wore yesterday and was no longer drunk, but he did not see Molly who had sobered up.
However, the expressions of the people who appeared in Lin Yan's sight were very peaceful, so Lin Yan inferred that Molly was probably safe.
Hosea was reading the newspaper closest to where the horses were tied. Arthur couldn't even wait to get off his horse and asked him, "Hosea, how is Molly's case going?"
