I'm building Gundams in America
Chapter 47 Righteous Men of Our Time
"Damn, man!" David rushed over with a look of surprise, gave Wayne a big hug, and then said:
"What the hell is going on? Why are these bastards being so respectful to you? Like they're dealing with Leonardo DiCaprio, who's fucking Hilary!"
Mike rushed over and gave Wayne a tight hug on the shoulder, saying worriedly:
"Bro, they didn't hurt you, did they? I heard from the Blood Gang that Seta seems to be in some trouble... It's really too dangerous..."
Old Will squeezed in front of Wayne and said in a trembling voice:
"Sir, please forgive me for failing to protect you. If you had... if you had..."
At this point, he dared not continue, and two streams of tears flowed down his cheeks.
For him, who was homeless on the streets, Wayne was almost his only ray of light. If that light were to be extinguished, he would have no reason to live.
Wayne shook his head and said:
"Don't worry, everyone has misunderstood. Mr. Simon wants me to help him exorcise evil spirits."
Tattooed Dick shrugged, covering his head, and said:
"I told you, the boss has great respect for Mr. Wayne, and it was a very pleasant conversation."
As he spoke, he pulled out a roll of money and handed it to Wayne, then said:
"Mr. Wayne, the boss has already explained that your debt never existed; it was just a misunderstanding... Here is your payment..."
Wayne took the roll of US dollars and handed it to Mike.
It looks like it costs around ten thousand dollars.
Mike and David gasped in shock at what they saw, hardly believing their eyes.
They had only ever heard of people who couldn't repay their high-interest loans from Seta and were even chopped off or turned into candied apples. They never imagined they would see money coming back!
David pinched his cheek and muttered:
"Am I dreaming, bro? You made money in Zeta? Damn, should we just drive straight to the US-Canada border and run for our lives?"
Then he shook his head violently and said:
"No, they have people in Canada too. I think we should buy plane tickets to Tokyo University right away. I heard that selling enhancement drugs there is punishable by death. Seta doesn't dare to go either..."
Wayne smiled slightly and said:
"Don't worry, guys, I had a pleasant conversation with Mr. Simon, and we agreed on some business collaborations."
Tattooed Dick, standing to the side, also spoke respectfully:
"Mr. Wayne, now that you have returned safely, we will take our leave. Rest assured, we are handling your request and will surely give you a satisfactory answer soon."
Wayne said calmly:
"Thank you, may Bondiye be with you."
A group of Setta gang members got into the car and unloaded the two sofas, placing them on the roadside.
Then, with the engine roaring, it drove away under everyone's watchful eyes, returning to report.
After Tattooed Dick and the others left, Wayne turned to Mike and the others and said:
"I apologize for causing everyone concern. The misunderstanding between us and Seta has been resolved, and we don't need to worry about it for the time being."
Then Wayne patted old Will on the back and said:
"Don't be so nervous, it's all over now."
David looked at the two sofas with curiosity and said to Wayne:
"Bro, is this a gift from your dad? They are indeed two nice leather sofas, though they are a bit old..."
Wayne didn't speak, but gestured for everyone to put the two sofas in the trunk of the beat-up Toyota sedan, and for David to send the sofas back first.
Wayne himself returned to the tent to continue the exorcism for the day—it was only noon, and there was still half a day left, so he couldn't waste it.
Old Billy immediately called several close friends and relatives, asking them to call back the patients who had been scared away that morning.
Seeing Wayne return safely, Mike breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to go back to work.
He had only taken a few steps when a figure blocked his way and pulled him to a corner.
Gold Chain Thor stared wide-eyed and said:
"Hey Mike, damn it, we already agreed that we'd help you get your brother back, and you'd join the Pirus faction of the Bloods. What do you mean by this?"
Mike had gone to him earlier, saying that Wayne had been kidnapped by the Seta Group and begging Gold Sol to help get him back.
In desperation, he agreed to the other party's condition that he join the Blood Gang.
Mike shook his head and said:
"Brother, Wayne was sent back by the people of Seta, not by you guys, so our deal is off."
"Mike, you son of a bitch, you tricked me?" Gold Chain Thor sneered, pointing two fingers to his eyes, then to Mike, and said menacingly:
"Don't worry, I'll make you understand the consequences of breaking a promise. Just you wait and see."
With that, he turned and left.
His henchmen immediately followed, two of them even turning around and making a shooting gesture at Mike.
Mike bit his lip and stood there without making a sound, but cautiously glanced at Wayne's tent.
He didn't know what price Wayne had paid to escape from the Seta Group, only that it was definitely not an easy thing.
Therefore, Wayne must not be allowed to get involved in the Bloods' affairs again.
He and Gold Sol had known each other for a long time; they had even become childhood friends when he lived in Seattle as a child.
I believe that once the other party calms down, everything can be explained.
In any case, he really didn't want to get involved with gangs; he just wanted to earn money through his own efforts.
With that thought in mind, Mike picked up the supermarket apron, turned around, and ran towards the supermarket.
Inside the tent, Wayne squinted as he watched Mike's departing figure through the gap in the curtain.
He had seen everything that had just happened, and with his extraordinary mental strength, he had even heard their conversation.
Mike is a great guy, except he's too considerate of others.
At Xida University, this is a quality as precious as gold.
However, at Xida University, if you were to walk down the street with a piece of gold, you would definitely be robbed.
The construction of shelters must be accelerated.
"Sir, someone has come to ask you to exorcise an evil spirit for him," old Billy's voice came from outside the tent.
Old Will stood in the same spot, holding the revolver he had lost and found.
He must be getting senile. He thought he had lost his pistol, but just now he casually touched it and found it in the inner pocket of his pocket.
Wayne's voice rang out:
"Come in."
A middle-aged man who had just arrived immediately went into the tent.
His face even showed a resolute look, like a warrior who was ready to die.
He had already heard about Seta's situation, but compared to Seta, his current abdominal pain was far more unbearable...
Perhaps because they were frightened by the appearance of the Seta Group, even though old Billy notified many people, very few patients came today. By evening, there were only five people.
After casually eating a few slices of pizza that Old Will had bought, Wayne stretched and looked at the panel in front of him:
Your basic witch doctor skill has been improved (specialization 38%).
[Experience points +5]
In addition, there was $1200 in cash.
Adding in the promotion I received from Simon, today has been a very fruitful day.
Since there weren't many patients today, Wayne didn't plan to wait any longer. He told old Will, who immediately escorted him back.
Wayne originally intended for him to go back on his own.
But after what happened today, when Wayne was forcibly taken away, old Will insisted on going with Wayne.
There was nothing we could do but let him go.
The two walked through the deserted, secluded alley and returned to the underground passageway via the abandoned warehouse.
During the day, the homeless people living in the alleys either work, go to work, or go to various shelters and food distribution points to collect supplies.
It's evening now, and everyone has returned.
As Wayne descended the stairs in the alley, the dozen or so homeless men in the alley all stood up, looking at Wayne with a mixture of joy, reverence, and worry.
They had all learned, to varying degrees, of the perilous situation Wayne had encountered that day from others.
Old Will, with a solemn expression, proclaimed in a loud voice:
"Brothers and sisters, your righteous one has returned!"
The crowd immediately cheered.
Mike and David had already returned to the underground alleyway.
The two sofas that David brought back were placed next to Wayne's camp.
Upon seeing Wayne's return, Mike and David immediately came to greet him. Beside them stood White, the drug addict who had leaked the information to Old Joe the Bottle.
The group looked dejected, and White said with a regretful expression:
"Sir, I...I called Old Joe the Wine Bottle this evening, but...but I couldn't get through at all..."
Their only lead had gone cold again, and you can imagine how frustrated they were.
White, in particular, missed his chance for redemption.
Wayne waved his hand, about to comfort everyone, when his phone suddenly rang.
He pressed the answer button, and Carlos's somewhat nervous voice came through:
"Sir, the package... has been delivered to the address you provided. Please check it... The boss said Juan was very disrespectful to you and asked me to convey his apologies to you."
Wayne raised an eyebrow.
I never expected the Seta Group to be so efficient.
After hanging up the phone, he said to Mike, David, and the others:
"Bro, go south for half a block, there are two sofas next to the trash can, bring them back."
The two men immediately gathered a few people and soon brought the two sofas back.
These two sofas were exactly the same as the two that had been delivered during the day, leaving everyone bewildered.
Wayne took the dagger and cut open the leather back of a sofa.
A man with his hands and feet bound and a wire in his mouth rolled out, immediately causing a gasp of surprise.
The man had a large, bulbous nose and his cloudy eyes were filled with panic as he struggled desperately on the ground.
White was taken aback:
"Old Joe the Bottle!?"
The person who fell out of the sofa was none other than Old Joe the wine bottle he had been searching for!
Wayne frowned.
Two sofas can fit four people.
Who are the remaining three?
