Chapter 1311 Dealing With I (1/2)
Lunch was ready. Now that they have come upon the deserted island, they had plenty of supplies.
There were burdock soup, various barbecued meats, and grilled fish. Big Quinn had also prepared teppanyaki squid using a clean iron plate. They had harvested plenty of squid from the sea. Squid was generally not very tasty, and preparing it teppanyaki-style was the most popular.
The fresh squid was cooked and grilled to completion. Then, orange-red sauce was poured over it and sprinkled with some golden-yellowish sesame. Li Du took a bite of it and enjoyed the taste.
Outside the camp and next to the swamp, the villagers who were tied up were cold and hungry. They could only swallow their saliva.
At noon, the sun shone brightly, although the fog had yet to dissipate. However, the fog was no longer so dense. They were now able to see beyond several hundred meters.
Steve followed suit and picked up a piece of squid. Sipping his beer and eating grilled squid, Steve squatted in front of Andrey and asked in a muffled voice, ”Buddy, you're still not talking? If you don't then you won't get any food to eat.”
Andrey looked up and peered at him. He finally spoke up, ”I know only a little. Besides, I can't tell. If I do, I will be killed. I know you guys aren't bad people. Please have mercy. Can you let me off? I will definitely do my best as a guide from now on!”
Hearing that, Li Du knew that Steve had won. Andrey would have to tell them everything he knew. He would not be able to keep his mouth shut anymore.
Steve grinned and said, ”You guessed right. We are not bad people. We are law-abiding civilians. But we are law-abiding civilians with connections and money and power.”
”You got off the wrong foot from the start, buddy. Even if you succeed in your plans, you guys won't have it easy. The people who stand behind us will look you guys up and torture you.”
Andrey turned pale. He believed Steve's words. Trapped and surrounded by his people, who looked well-prepared to fight, Andrey knew that he was in deep trouble this time.
Steve continued, ”Tell us whatever you know. We will deal with those who wanted us dead. Then you would be safe from them.”
Andrey was distraught. ”What if you guys cannot deal with them?”
Steve laughed. ”Then you'll be dead. You'd better pray that we succeed and assist us in any way you can. Otherwise, before we look them up, we will kill you first.”
Li Du shot him a look and Big Quinn walked over and said nonchalantly, ”Boss, why waste your energy on him? From what I see, this dude is no toughie. Let me and my men work on him. At most, we'd chop off his four limbs. By then, he will definitely spill the beans!”
Big Quinn had a scary look and when he acted like a gangster, it made him even more frightening.
Steve took another bite of the squid. He smiled and told Andrey, ”We need to know what you know. If you won't tell me, you can talk to my subordinates.”
Andrey looked up again, helplessly. He said, ”I'll speak. I'll tell you guys whatever I know. However, I do not know much. Hope you guys believe me.”
”Go on.”
Andrey swallowed and said, ”I've only interacted with them two days ago. They claimed to be scavengers picking stuff up on the island. I don't know how they got your information, but they said that you guys are very rich and brought many things to the island.”
”They then ganged up with the villagers from the southern coast to rob you guys. The villagers looted the supplies while those guys took the money. If I joined them, they would give me a huge sum of money.”
”How much would that be?” Brother Wolf interrupted to ask.
Andrey replied, ”At least twenty million rubles! I didn't have a choice, gentlemen, please pity me. My daughter, Sasha, had contracted leukemia. It is chronic myeloid leukemia. This illness is so expensive to treat! I don't have much money, I only wanted to be able to pay for my daughter's treatment.”
