Chapter 1478 Contract Work (1/2)
The ship left Los Angeles and started a long journey on the ocean.
After a few weeks, the ship entered the port of Cape Town, South Africa.
When Leech, Zebra, Ryan and the rest spotted land, they were agitated to the point that hot tears welled in their eyes. One of them vomited as he said, ”F*ck, I'm never setting foot on a ship again. I'd rather die on land than live on the sea!”
When they got ashore, someone received them. It was a rich South African man who introduced himself as Lion Hunter. He treated them to a hearty meal and then got some ladies to entertain them.
Leech and the rest were very grateful. Lion Hunter told them, ”I have no idea what you guys exactly did. However, since you have to hide, you can't stay here. I will send you guys to the northern mountainous region of South Africa. You guys can hide there a month or two before leaving.”
”As long as we are not going on another ship, everything else is fine,” a big man from the Dripping Blood Gang said.
Lion Hunter laughed. ”Don't worry, you guys won't have to board a ship again.”
Before they left Cape Town, the bunch of them looked longingly at the bustling city. Ryan sighed as he said, ”I have a feeling that we won't be able to enjoy such luxury again for a long time.”
The helicopter rose and after a flight through the entire South Africa, they got into a car. It was a military jeep. They rode through the woods and deserted mountains.
Nobody created trouble for them during their entire journey. There was a policeman who checked their car but everything was fine after the driver brought out his documents for inspection.Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,Please clickfor visiting.
Initially, the bunch of them were very optimistic. ”Leech, the buddy you got is really trustworthy. He is a great guy. A very resourceful fellow!”
However, as the car continued on the journey, some people started to worry:
”Where are we heading? Aren't we far enough now? Can't we stay here?”
”That's right, and why do we have to hide under the tarpaulin in the car? At least pull it off so we can breathe. D*mn it, South Africa is too warm!”
”I feel that something's not right. Stop the car, stop the car and ask what's going on!”
They started a commotion. Someone tore the tarpaulin off and got ready to jump down from the car. Seeing that, the car behind slowed down. A few soldiers carrying rifles walked towards them and said in simple English, ”What you guys doing?”
Seeing those soldiers, the bunch of gangsters was shocked. ”Where did these soldiers come from?”
”D*mn it, have we been betrayed?!” Ryan asked anxiously.
Zebra said calmly, ”Don't worry, I don't think that's the case. We have been traveling north, you see. If we had been caught, they would have taken us back to America after we arrived at Cape Town. Besides, it's impossible that the China dude knows where we are. He can't have the power to control soldiers in South Africa!”
”That's right, that's right. Don't be worried, buddies. Even if they want to catch us, it has nothing to do with the soldiers. That would more likely be related to the local police,” Leech spoke up to calm everyone down.
Then, with a wide smile, he walked towards the soldiers and said, ”Excuse me, buddy, it's just that we want to ask where are we going. We feel that this place is pretty good and we want to stay right here.”
The black soldiers ignored him and continued to ask, ”What you guys doing?”
Leech thought that the soldiers were unable to understand his words because of their poor command of English. Hence, he said slowly, ”We want to know where we are going.”
The soldiers looked at him coldly and one of them said, ”You guys are asking too much.”
With that, he waved his hand. Then, a few more big soldiers raised their rifles and rushed towards them.
Leech and his men were all gangsters. In the past, they used to command the situation and were fierce and demanding.
However, the soldiers they had bumped into were even more intimidating. They did not give any reasons and started to beat people up without another word.
