Brother Wolf's ability was really astounding, If there was no Ivana dragging him down, he could have applied to be the President's bodyguard!
It was really Li Du's good fortune to have hired him.
With Brother Wolf having displayed his prowess, no one in town dared provoke them.
The blonde-haired middle-aged man stretched his hand out to Li Du and said, ”Dead cool. Li, I'm Fawkes Duronka. Blacktooth Robbie's my buddy.”
Since he was friends with Blacktooth Robbie, he could be considered his friend as well. At this thought, Li Du shook hands with him and said, ”Nice to meet you. Blacktooth's a good guy.”
Fawkes didn't respond to that comment but smiled as he looked at Brother Wolf. ”This guy's good. Is he your bodyguard? So skillful, I've only ever seen such skills from my brother who's serving in the SEALs.”
After providing each other with flattery, both parties were considered acquainted.
Fawkes said, ”There are many Native Americans *ssholes here in Horseshoe Town. Of course, there are *ssholes everywhere they gather. If you guys don't want no trouble, best to stay away from them.”
Li Du sighed, ”Alright, I was intending to trade with these people. I think they've got some good stuff with them.”
The old goods trading business in Horseshoe Town had first been started by the Native Americans. When they had moved the casinos and their homes, they had sold or traded some of the things that they could not bring along.
On the whole, the Native Americans were in a disadvantaged position in American society. They were discriminated against in every aspect. It was usually more difficult for them to carry out anything.
For example, it had not been easy for them to start an old goods market. With the success of Horseshoe Town, the neighboring Native Americans had gone there to conduct their business and rarely visited other old goods markets.
Firstly, it was to make money; secondly, it was to support the development of the market.
The main reason many old goods treasure hunters had come to Horseshoe Town was to get the Native Americans' items. They had many things which were valuable to the outside world, such as animal skin, ore, gold and silver, handicrafts and so on.
Li Du had chosen to come over because he was planning to trade with the Native Americans.
Fawkes was helpful in advising them on rules and procedures for trading at the local market. After hearing him out, Li Du asked, ”Why do I get the feeling that these rules point toward the conclusion that it's better not to trade with the Native Americans?”
Upon hearing his question, Fawkes laughed and nodded. ”Your conclusion is correct.”
After a brief chat, Fawkes left with several of his white friends.
Li Du scratched his head and said, ”Don't these Native Americans want to make money? Why do they even bother setting up stalls to trade then?”
Hans frowned. ”I hadn't heard that the Native Americans in Horseshoe Town were so difficult to get along with. But it's probably best to not provoke them, they're so unwelcoming.”
Li Du sneered, ”Was it not because you whites have subjected them to hundreds of years of killing and oppression, which caused them to be less than welcoming to outsiders?”
Historically, the Native Americans had always been warm and hospitable. This was so until the white people from Europe had come over to the American continent. When the white people had first arrived, the Native Americans had treated them warmly.
In the end, after settling down and having enough to eat and drink, the white people from Europe started to butcher the Native Americans.
Hans glared at him and said, ”What does this have to do with me?”
After hearing Fawkes's warning and reminder, Li Du, who had just entered a Native American old goods shop, stepped out instead.
At this time, Brother Wolf said, ”Boss, that man didn't have good intentions.”
