The arrogance started from Chinatown

Chapter 521 I lied to you
"This guy is really capable!" After receiving the telegram, Chen Zhengwei became very interested in James Garfield.

After all, it took only four days to go from 1 vote in the first round to a comeback in the final election, and this was not just because of the anxiety of the conservatives and half-bloods.

"Mr. Garfield is amazing!" Cecily leaned over to look at the telegram and was also amazed.

Chen Zhengwei has been paying attention to this matter recently, so she has some understanding of it.

"I hope this guy is smart enough!" Chen Zhengwei stuffed the telegram into her hand.

But I will give him a reminder.

"Let's go out and take a look at my manor!" said Chen Zhengwei.

"You have a manor here?" Cecily was quite surprised.

"Of course, I not only have a manor here, but also a hotel!" Chen Zhengwei smiled.

He has always had a lot of property.

Many times he didn't know how much fixed assets he had, and there were always some extra things in his name from time to time.

For example, the Avni Hotel was inherited by his cousin because the owner's family died. Then it was sold to Chen Zhengwei at a very fair price. The whole process was very quick and took only three days.

The soil on his family’s graves hasn’t been filled yet.

Chen Zhengwei felt that he should set up a company to manage these assets.

Chen Zhengwei and Cecily walked around the manor that originally belonged to the Roberts family. Although Austin's manors were rustic, they were more comfortable than hotel rooms and made people feel more open.

Two thugs rode over on horseback: "Brother Wei, the Texas Rangers are back, and they are stationed in the south of the city."

"Their commander took a few people to the State Military Bureau."

"Brother Long asked us to come and talk to you."

"Tell their commander to meet me at the Avni Hotel tonight."

"Ask the volunteer corps to send some people to be responsible for the security of the hotel." Chen Zhengwei ordered.

Letting the volunteer corps be responsible for the hotel's security is to let the other party know that Texas is now under their control.

Even the militia was under his control.

This is more convincing than ordinary words.

……

George W. Bayol looked at the door of the State Military Bureau. He didn't expect that it would become like this in just a few days.

He wore a wide-brimmed hat with a red ribbon and a badge on it, signifying his status as a commander.

He had a scarf around his neck, a shirt and jeans, and a pair of riding boots on his feet.

Such clothes are out of place here, but no one who comes in and out looks down on him. Instead, they show joyful expressions.

"Mr. Bayol!"

In the past, Bayor had always been known for being old-fashioned and unsympathetic, and was never liked by others. However, when the people in the Military Bureau saw him, they felt relieved and happy.

"Who should I talk to? Who is in charge of things now?" There was no smile on Bayor's face, as hard as stone.

The Military Bureau was directly under the command of the governor, but the governor is dead now.

"It's Mr. Sayers... He's not here now..."

Joseph D. Sayers, Lieutenant Governor of Texas.

After the governor ran away, he temporarily took charge of state affairs and the military bureau.

"He should be here soon!" Bayor said expressionlessly, then pulled a chair aside and sat down.

Just as he thought.

Upon learning that the Texas Rangers had returned to Austin, Joseph Sayers rushed to the State Military Bureau.

The two sat in the office and no one spoke for a while.

It was Bayor who broke the silence first.

"I know what you're up to... I'll voluntarily resign, and you can give the Rangers a new commander."

"That's not the case, Bayor, you are still the commander of the Rangers," Sayers said.

"My morals do not allow me to work for a Chinese, a criminal. This makes me feel ashamed!" Bayol refused directly and took off the Ranger Commander's badge from his hat and placed it on the table.

"I'm already ashamed of returning here with the Rangers."

Sayers opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end he said nothing and watched Bayor walk out of the room.

Bayol is a man like stone, and many people in the state call him the Stone.

Seeing Bayor walk out of the room, several ranger captains immediately surrounded him.

"How was the talk?"

"I quit!" Bayor said to several people with a hint of apology in his eyes.

"Why?" Several people were shocked, and then they were angry: "They want to drive you away?"

"It's not what you think. I resigned on my own initiative. I had thought about it on the way back." Bayor waved his hand and looked at the others: "The rest is up to you."

"I don't believe it! I'll go ask them what they are going to do!" Someone immediately rushed into the office angrily.

But he was stopped by Bayor.

"Like I said, I resigned on my own initiative. You know the situation now... I don't want to work for the Chinese," Bayol explained.

The others fell silent.

They all knew what was going on.

In fact, many of them didn't want to come back, but without supplies and wages, the Rangers simply couldn't hold on.

"I'll go with you!" A captain took off his hat.

"There's no need to do this. The Rangers still need you!" Bayor patted his shoulder, calmed everyone down, and then walked outside.

However, as soon as he reached the door, he was stopped by a few Chinese people who were dressed in gentleman's suits and had a fierce temperament. They were obviously not good people.

"George Bayol? Our boss wants to see you!"

"I've already resigned." Bayor said expressionlessly. He tried to pass by the few people, but was immediately stopped.

"Our boss wants to see you, he doesn't like to wait for people." The Chinese man continued.

"As for your resignation, it has nothing to do with us."

At this time, several captains of the Rangers came out of the Military Bureau building. Seeing this scene, they immediately rushed over to stand in front of Bayor and glared at the Chinese.

"What do you want to do?"

"One last time, our boss wants to see you, he doesn't like waiting for people." The Chinese man put his hands on his waist, and the others did the same.

Several captains of the rangers immediately held down the handles of the guns at their waists.

Seeing this, Bayor reached out to stop the captains, took a deep breath and said, "I'll go with you!"

Soon, Bayol was taken to the Avni Hotel on Congress Avenue.

Several ranger captains were worried and followed over.

When the group rode to the hotel entrance, they saw a small team of volunteer soldiers guarding the hotel entrance.

Bayor and his companions stared at it for a long time, feeling it was ridiculous.

Just a few days ago, the Army and the Volunteer Corps ambushed the Chinese.

However, now, the Army Commander-in-Chief is dead, the Governor of Texas was stabbed to death in the street after fleeing, and these volunteer militiamen are actually protecting the safety of that Chinese man.

But when I think about myself and the others who have returned to Austin, I am not much better off than them.

This made several people feel an absurd sense of frustration.

After staring for a long time, they dismounted and entered the hotel. They saw many Chinese people sitting on the sofa playing cards or smoking and chatting. These Chinese people looked at them and then looked away.

A few people found a corner and sat down and waited until it was getting dark. They began to feel restless. Suddenly, the Chinese in the hall stood up and stood in two rows.

Then a Chinese man wearing a blue gentleman's suit and as tall and strong as a bear walked in from outside. A very beautiful young woman hugged his arm, turned her head and said something to him with a smile.

Everyone knew in their hearts that Chen Zhengwei had arrived.

"Brother Wei, people are coming!" A thug walked up to Chen Zhengwei and pointed in the direction of Bayor and others.

Chen Zhengwei waved his hand, signaling others to disperse.

He said a few words to Cicely, asking her to go to the dining room first, and then sat down on the sofa at the side.

A thug walked up to Bayor, tilted his head and motioned him to come over.

Bayor stood up and walked to Chen Zhengwei. Several rangers followed him and wanted to go over, but they were immediately stopped by several Chinese.

"The boss didn't let you go over, so just stand here!"

Bayor walked up to Chen Zhengwei and looked him down.

"I don't like people who are taller than me!" Chen Zhengwei put his hands on the back of the sofa.

"I have resigned as the commander of the Texas Rangers. If you have any problems, you can go to someone else." Bayol said directly.

"Let's not talk about the Ranger Commander for now..." Chen Zhengwei looked at Bayor, his face showing no emotion: "What makes you dare to talk to me like that?"

"You think you're a tough guy?"

"It just so happens that I hate tough guys the most!" Chen Zhengwei sneered, called a henchman and gave him a few instructions.

The thug reached out and called over other people, brought a box of wine over, and then several people picked up the wine bottles and smashed them on the ground, making a road of broken bottles.

"Get out on your knees! I won't bother with you!" Chen Zhengwei still maintained his original posture, with an arrogant look:

"Or I'll have them kill all the Rangers!"

"Since you don't want to listen, just change a group!"

Originally, he wanted to recruit these rangers for his own use, but since the other party dared to be so arrogant in front of him, Chen Zhengwei changed his mind.

Hearing this, George Bayol's face turned pale instantly.

Even though he knew Chen Zhengwei's brutality and cruelty, his actions were still beyond his imagination.

"Resigning... you think you are noble? If you were really noble, there wouldn't be so many KKK members in Texas." Chen Zhengwei sarcastically asked, "Which one do you choose now?"

George Bayol stared at Chen Zhengwei for a long time, then turned his head and looked around.

All the Chinese people in the hall stopped what they were doing and looked at him coldly.

Seeing that something was not right, the ranger captains wanted to rush over, but were immediately kicked by Chen Zhengwei's men.

Just as a few people were about to draw their guns, several guns were pointed at their heads.

Looking at this scene, George Bayol gritted his teeth.

"Let them go!"

Then he walked to the pile of broken wine bottles, knelt on the ground and moved out step by step.

The broken glass on the ground immediately pierced into his knees, making him break out in a cold sweat. Every time he moved, countless broken glass pierced into his knees, and blood stained his pants red.

As they moved, two rows of bloodstains were soon left on the ground.

"Commander!" The ranger captains' faces were filled with anger and they glared at Chen Zhengwei again.

It was just a distance of a few meters, but it took George Bayol nearly ten minutes to reach the end.

Just as George Bayol was about to use his knees to cross the path of broken bottles, Chen Zhengwei pulled out a pistol from his waist and pointed it at George Bayol's back.

"Captain, be careful!" the captains shouted immediately.

boom! boom! boom!
Chen Zhengwei shot George Bayol twice in the back and once in the back of the head.

Georges Bayol's body suddenly fell to the ground.

"I lied to you!"

"You said you wanted to resign. Did I agree?"

Chen Zhengwei withdrew his gaze from George Bayol's body with a frivolous look on his face.

Then he looked at the angry Ranger Captains and raised his eyebrows:
"It seems that he holds a very high position in your hearts..."

"You executioner, you devil!" a ranger captain cursed.

Chen Zhengwei smiled and then stroked his neck with his thumb.

Bang bang bang!
Accompanied by a burst of gunfire, the bodies of the ranger captains fell to the ground.

"I gave them a chance, but they didn't cherish it! They really don't know how to live or die!" Chen Zhengwei said slowly.

"Clean up this place, and then find Aaron!"

Then he got up and went to the restaurant.

Chen Zhengwei and Xi Seli had finished half of their meal when Aaron came back from outside. After asking about the situation, he waited for a while.

After finishing his meal, Chen Zhengwei threw his knife and fork on the table, picked up a silk scarf to wipe his mouth, and then ordered: "Bring more people and call the volunteer corps to go outside the city and surround those rangers!"

"Then ask them if they'd like to do something for me!"

"Those who are willing can stay, and after being disbanded, they can blend into the Volunteer Corps, and then reorganize the Rangers."

"If you don't want to... just kill him!"

Aaron nodded and led his men out, while asking someone to notify the Volunteer Corps.

At this time, the Texas Rangers were building a fire outside the city, heating up the food and sharing it.

"Why hasn't the commander come back yet? Hope nothing has happened?" Some rangers were discussing.

"Of course not, something must have delayed him!"

While everyone was discussing, horses and carriages came over from a distance and soon approached. Then a group of people jumped off the horses and carriages and pointed guns at the rangers.

The rangers who were eating by the fire stood up one after another.

Looking at the militiamen wearing the uniforms of the Volunteer Corps, they picked up their weapons with a confused look on their faces.

What's going on here?
Why would a volunteer regiment, also a Texas militia, point their weapons at them?

Soon, Aaron walked out of the darkness, and behind him were Chinese people holding submachine guns in their hands.

Aaron fired a burst of bullets from the submachine gun in his hand at the ground between the two sides.

Da da da!
The rangers' pupils all constricted.

"Put down your weapons and stand aside!"

"If you dare to resist, you will be shot dead!"

"Where is our commander?" The Texas Rangers refused to lay down their weapons and asked in shock and anger.

"Commander? George Bayol? He was shot dead on the spot because he intended to attack the deputy governor!" Aaron said with a sneer.

"This is impossible!" The rangers suddenly burst into an uproar.

"This is the ultimatum, lay down your weapons!" Aaron waved his hand, and all the Chinese around him opened the safety and raised their submachine guns.

The infantrymen of the volunteer corps also pulled the bolts of their rifles after hesitating for a moment.

　Today I accompanied the elderly and children at home to the provincial hospital for a follow-up check-up. It took a whole day and I felt sleepy and tired.

　　That’s all for today’s chapter.
