Chapter 673 (1/2)
The Suez military base was shrouded in heavy rain at night. O'Connor and others trudged in the mud. After they got off the ship in port said, they did not directly take a boat to London, but went to the British military base in Suez. O'Connor served in this military base for several years when he was a British military officer.
He couldn't watch the British officers and soldiers fall under the claws of the devil, so he hired a local carriage all night. Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived nearby, there was a sudden heavy rain along the Suez Canal, which forced them to abandon their cars.
Jonathan, who followed, complained: ”If I say, that man is a good man who keeps his word. They gave us the share we deserve, and we are already rich. O'Connor, we can live a noble life in Britain now. Why do we want to take risks here? I hate adventure... If we die. Isn't 1 all the gold I won cheaper than others?”
”A good man who put a bomb on your leg?” O'Connor sneered.
”This is very excessive...” Jonathan was stunned and nodded. ”But compared with those greedy and cruel people, he is not bad... At least he gave us the promised gold and let us go.”
”Greedy? Do you mean yourself, brother?” Evelyn stepped on the mud hard, jumped over a pool of water with the help of O'Connor, and looked back and said, ”and he killed a lot of people! In Cairo, hamnata and the whole of Egypt, the people you said were cruel and ruthless. I'm afraid they haven't killed as many people as they have seen.”
”So?” Jonathan spread his hand.
”So we're going to warn those damn bureaucrats that there is such a terrible force in Egypt. O'Connor said that he knew many people when he was an officer in Suez, which may arouse their vigilance, and we can take a boat here to London...” she said, looking back at Jonathan in surprise: ”You don't think we can take a lot of gold on board so easily?”
”They will check our luggage and wait until the sea. Those lawless sailors will sink us into the Mediterranean. We can't transport the gold without O'Connor. Moreover, we can't sit back and watch a large number of innocent people die in front of us.”
Jonathan looked around, especially at the coachman who led the way in front. O'Connor said in front: ”don't look, I specially chose a native who can't speak English. He can only understand our gestures!”
Jonathan whispered, ”I know many ways to get on the ship without checking my luggage. As long as we keep our luggage tight, it's no problem! Let's stop getting involved in those damn whirlpools! If I have nothing, I'm fine, but we're rich now. I don't want to fall into hell with a lot of wealth!”
At this time, Jonathan found O'Connor and Evelyn looking at him silently. Evelyn looked at him and shook her head slightly: ”We can't get rid of this vortex, because we have already gone deep into it, and this is our fate. Even if we run to London, the high priest imorton and those people will still appear in front of us... Our struggle is as ridiculous as trying to get rid of the shadow in the sun.”
”Because all this comes from ourselves!”
Evelyn said that regardless of Jonathan's loss on his face, she accelerated again and went to Suez military base, where a shadow had been faintly exposed in front. Soon they came to the checkpoint at the door of the military base. O'Connor went to the guard to inquire, while Evelyn and Jonathan stayed where they were. They waited outside for a while, and someone came to meet them.
