Chapter 25 The Wildfire Gang is beginning to take shape

 After some questioning by Song Hao and Aaron, they learned that the woman in front of them was named Reina Caitlin. She was born in affluent Saint-Denis and received a good education since she was a child.

Finance, poetry, etiquette, literature, almost everything is covered, and the knowledge is very rich.

It seems that this is why he regarded her as a noble lady when he was at Valentine's bank. After all, the innate elegance cannot be faked.

"Then I wonder if you are living a good life, why do you have to be reduced to robbing banks with others?"

Aaron took a bite of brown bread calmly. Dry grain food like this, which is baked to the extreme, is undoubtedly very chewy and is very popular among lumberjacks.

After hearing this, Reina shook her head, with a hint of sadness in her eyes: "Our Caitlin family was originally a financial family in Saint Denis, and we usually helped ordinary people, until this goodwill became a thorn in the side of another family and a thorn in the flesh."

"They colluded with the police department and political officials in Saint-Denis to accuse our family of collaborating with the enemy and treason. In just one month, they monopolized all the industries."

At this point, Reina's voice became choked, and her eyes couldn't help but turn red:

"Finally, one rainy night, those bastards actually sent killers to break into the door of our house and massacred all men, women and children. Only my brother and I managed to escape."

After hearing the other party's tragic experience, Song Hao did not express his opinion, but just kept drinking.

Because of family disputes like this, let alone the prosperous Saint-Denis, the Gray family and the Braithwaite family in Rhodes Town are obviously good examples.

Over a period of a hundred years, members of both families, lured by huge interests, intrigued each other, and sooner or later ended up in a state of ruin.

Returning to reality, Aaron, who was somewhat neurotic, kept asking: "In this case, there is no need for you to risk beheading to rob the bank in Valentine?"

"You're wrong. It's not that we have to go to Valentine to rob the bank, but because we have to get back our own money."

During the conversation, Reina took out a crumpled deposit receipt from her pocket and explained: "Our Caitlin family deposited ten thousand dollars in Valentine's bank."

"As a result, after the massacre occurred in Saint-Denis, my escaped brother and I contacted our former servants and prepared to take back our wealth."

What is this called?

If you keep the green hills, you won’t have to worry about running out of firewood.

"However, after the bank director of Valentine heard about the tragedy that happened in Saint-Denis, he began to refuse to admit it and tried to annex our family's property. In the end, we had no choice but to make this move."

"Of course, we have no intention of murdering innocent people. Every wrong has its own owner, and every debt has its owner."

Song Hao had no reason to doubt the authenticity of this content. As a witness, he knew very well how bad the two men's marksmanship was.

This is simply not the level a robber should be.

Besides, speaking from a ten thousand step back, they really have no intention of killing people and silencing them, otherwise I would have to compete with them at least.

"No matter what, you are now a dangerous person on the wanted list. It is almost impossible to return to Saint Denis in a short time."

Song Hao, who was finally willing to speak at this time, put down his flask and continued: "Besides, if your enemies in Saint-Denis find out that you are still alive, there will only be a new wave of pursuit."

This is not alarmist. As a cowboy who often hangs out in the wild west, he knows the consequences of going against a prominent family.

That means that from now on, we can only live an ignoble existence like a mouse without seeing any light.

Understanding her hidden dangers, Reina, who was sitting by the campfire, smiled bitterly and said: "I know that I am a trouble. I have neither the ability to avenge my family nor the ability to help you."

"He is just a burden."

She took a deep breath: "Actually, I can't thank you enough for being able to rescue me tonight. If you are afraid of getting yourself into trouble, I promise not to leak any of your information."

"I just hope you can give me some solid food so that I can make a living on my own."

To be honest, this guy is a very sad guy. He was born in a wealthy family, but he happened to encounter such a shitty thing.

And in today's chaotic world, if a girl who can't use a gun is left to live in a barren mountain, the outcome will be obvious.

It will definitely become a meal for coyotes and leopards...

This may still be the best outcome, at least I won’t be humiliated and tortured by some bandits.

So after a period of inner thought, Song Hao, as the boss, stretched himself: "Anyway, we openly robbed the prison today, and we are considered to be on the wanted list of the police. Sooner or later, we will be on the run."

"You might as well join our gang in the future. As long as Aaron and I have something to eat, I guarantee you won't go hungry."

His words were very responsible and heroic, and they didn't seem like words that should come from a cowboy's mouth.

"Boss, have you thought clearly?"

"Don't worry, she's just a girl. It doesn't matter if she has an extra mouth. I'm afraid she can't eat half as much as you."

Aaron next to him was simply shocked. There was an extra female prisoner as a companion out of nowhere, which was somewhat dramatic.

But when I looked at the naturally beautiful Reina, the anxiety in my heart gradually dissipated.

After all, the wilderness adventure life of two big men cannot be without some femininity.

Then he smiled, leaned forward and said meaningfully: "Don't look at the fact that our gang is only three people now. It won't take long and it will grow quickly."

"After all, we know..."

Song Hao suddenly coughed several times, hinting that Aaron, who was a little carried away, should shut up and don't reveal his trump card now.

Reina didn't care much about the situation in the gang. She only understood that the two people in front of her risked their lives to save her and gave her a nominal home.

That's enough.

After saying that, Aaron suddenly realized something and looked at Song Hao: "Speaking of boss, what should our gang be called?"

There is no way, this so-called gang was only established a few seconds ago, something happened more or less suddenly.

Hearing this, Song Hao, who was sharing the drinks, was slightly startled and said casually: "Why don't we call them the Wildfire Gang."

"As the old saying goes, a single spark can start a prairie fire."

Reina and Aaron next to them looked at each other, wondering how he came up with this Eastern proverb.
