Wilderness Redemption Tour
Chapter 366 Traitor
Seeing that Arthur was sincere in wanting to negotiate with the other party, Lin Yan and the other two, who trusted him immensely, obediently dropped their weapons.
"Very good." Milton praised them expressionlessly, then raised his hand and gestured to Agent Ross who was leading his men to surround them not to fire.
Seeing that Lin Yan and the others had almost thrown away their weapons, Milton waved his hand and called another person from the house. He ordered him to search the four people again. After confirming that they had no weapons, he let them into the house.
The wooden house is divided into two rooms, inner and outer. Just now, Lin Yan and the others saw through the window that Abigail was tied to a chair in the middle of the outer room.
After entering the house, John couldn't wait to ask Milton: "Can you untie my wife now?" After getting an affirmative answer, John took two steps at a time to Abigail's side and reached out to tear off the cloth on her mouth.
"Abigail, are you okay?" John grabbed his wife's shoulders and asked with concern.
Abigail shook her head and looked at the red bandage on John's waist: "I'm fine, what's wrong with your waist? Is it seriously injured?"
"It's just a minor injury, it's nothing serious." John explained with a smile as he untied the rope around Abigail's wrist.
"Jack, how is Jack?" Abigail asked again.
John raised his hand and patted the back of her hand, comforting her: "Jack is safe, don't worry."
"Oh, thank God."
Milton pulled a chair over, placed it at the door, and sat down on it, with the muzzle of the gun in his hand hovering over Lin Yan and the others. He looked at Arthur and said, "Now that you have confirmed the safety of the hostages, what do you want to talk about? If what you say does not satisfy me, you can't leave."
"What? You just..." Sadie was immediately unhappy when she heard this. In that situation, even if she didn't save anyone and chose to break through, she could still get away. They negotiated with this guy sincerely, but he wanted to keep them just because he was not satisfied. Isn't that a bit too much?
"Hey, hey, hey," Lin Yan quickly hugged Sadie's arm to prevent her from getting angry, "Don't be angry, don't be angry, listen to what Arthur has to say first."
Milton turned his head and looked at Sadie, ignoring the farce, then looked at Arthur again and gestured for him to speak.
Arthur looked the other man straight in the eye and said earnestly, "You've always wanted to catch Dutch, right? Let them go. I can help you."
"That's it?" Milton leaned back and crossed his legs. "I remember this was the condition I offered you a long time ago. You've caused me a lot of trouble and killed a lot of my people. Do you think this condition is feasible?"
Arthur's expression froze, and after thinking for a moment, he continued, "Besides that, you can also take the money Dutch robbed. He led us to rob a military train today, and to be honest, we got quite a lot."
Milton stroked his chin: "Well... this condition is quite tempting."
"Then it's settled." Arthur wanted to make the decision for the other party, but was stopped by the other party. "Huh? Don't rush to make the decision for me. I haven't agreed yet."
"What else do you want?" Sadie was once again enraged by the other party's behavior.
Milton's eyes swept over the faces of Lin Yan and others one by one. "Besides you, there are still several people left in the Van der Linde Gang, right?" He fixed his eyes on Arthur. "I don't think you can handle this alone." Milton raised his hand and pointed at Lin Yan and Sadie. "Let them go with you," and then pointed at John and Abigail. "They must stay here, otherwise I will be worried." Then Milton stood up and walked to Arthur. "Once Dutch is captured, I will give you freedom. I mean what I say."
"We can go, but the two of them..." Lin Yan took the initiative to step forward, looking at John and Abigail and said, "Their children are still waiting for them. It's not appropriate to detain them, right? Besides, he is injured and needs urgent treatment."
"He's right." Sadie followed suit, "At worst, I can stay and take their place."
"That's fine." Maybe it was because of the child, but Milton was easy to talk to this time. "They can leave now. You guys stay and take us to Dutch's hideout."
Arthur waved at John, "John, take Abigail and go."
John knew that even if he went with Arthur against everyone's opinion, he would just be a burden, so he could only nod helplessly, hold Abigail's wrist and say goodbye to the others: "Take care, Arthur. The same goes for you, Jamie, Mrs. Adler."
Arthur patted John on the shoulder and said like a parent: "Go, be a real man, take good care of Abigail and Jack, find a place to live well, and we will meet again in the future."
"Yeah!" John nodded heavily.
Abigail came over and hugged everyone. "Goodbye, everyone. You are all good people. Meeting you is the luckiest thing in my life."
"Don't be sad, let's go." Arthur took the initiative to push the two to the door of the house, "It's not like we will never see each other again, there's no need to be so sad."
After John and Abigail followed one of the Pinkerton detectives in the house and left, Milton looked at Arthur and said, "I have fulfilled my promise. Can we set off now? It's getting dark. Let's try to catch Dutch before dark."
"Oh, right." Milton slapped his head, as if he remembered something, "Micah Bell is also one of ours. Don't hurt our own people when you take action later."
"Micah? One of our own?" Upon hearing the news, Arthur was stunned.
Lin Yan and Sadie were also shocked by the news. They had thought about how bad Micah was, but they had never thought that he would be a spy for the Pinkerton detective.
"Yes, it's Micah." Milton said calmly, "He has been in contact with us since he came back from the Caribbean. My evaluation of him is: this guy has always performed well, but his speed of work is not so satisfactory."
Lin Yan suddenly realized, and gradually connected the whole thing in his mind. After Micah returned from the sea, he took the initiative to surrender to Pinkerton. Thinking of this, Dutch's inexplicable and extreme behavior made sense. With his clever words, it was not difficult for Micah to make Dutch do something that violated common sense.
After figuring this out, Lin Yan laughed at himself. It turned out that the only person Dutch trusted recently was the one who secretly tripped him up. No wonder the gang fell apart so quickly.
