Near five o'clock in the afternoon, the sunset was scattered from the treetops, and they could see a small wooden house in the forest in the distance.

There is also a field fenced with railings next to it. Some corn and tobacco leaves are planted in it, and they are growing vigorously.

Arthur tightened the reins and then fell off the horse: "These troubles are always left to me alone, that bastard Strauss."

"Since you are asked to collect debts, it seems that your friend is a loan shark, which is a disgraceful job."

Song Hao gave Dao Ming the information behind it in just one sentence.

Arthur lowered his cowboy hat: "Let's not talk about this for now. I just want to end it as soon as possible and then go back and have a good rest. This damn alcohol is making my head dizzy."

"It may be mixed with fake wine ingredients."

While they were talking, the two of them came to the front of the small house, where a middle-aged woman was sitting on a chair with a solemn expression.

Just from the decorative atmosphere of the threshold, you can tell that this is not a wealthy family.

Not only that, there was a minor child next to her, who was 1.7 meters tall.

Naihe looks like he is about fifteen years old, and his cheeks are still a little green.

Song Hao inadvertently muttered: "I think the guy who owes the debt is not here. He came at the wrong time."

"You don't understand, these guys will always find a way to hide, just like a mouse meets a cat..."

Arthur, who didn't care at all about these problems, raised his voice: "Mrs. Downs, the time limit for your loan is up, and I'm here to collect the debt."

"Hurry up and ask your husband to get out and pay back the money."

With a slightly stunned expression, the woman who was still knitting stood up and said, "Sir, we don't know you at all. Please hurry up..."

Unexpectedly, before the other party finished speaking, Arthur, who had a somewhat impatient temper, took out a dagger directly from his waist under the catalytic effect of alcohol.

The shining blade was so intimidating that the boy couldn't help but pick up a rake to defend himself.

I saw Arthur inserting the blade into the threshold with all his strength, and then threatened: "You said you don't know me?"

"It's okay, but I guess you should fucking know Mr. Strauss, that old guy with glasses, right?"

The guilty woman hesitated for a long time, but couldn't hold back a word.

The boy realized that his mother might be in danger and hurriedly stood in front: "Sir, you are not welcome in our home, get out of here."

"Little brat, it's not your turn to interrupt when we adults are talking, so just step aside."

"This is my home, you are the ones who should get out of the way!"

Seeing that the other party was not going to submit obediently, Arthur simply raised his sleeves and prepared to threaten him.

Now turning on the dead eye mode, Song Hao, who was standing behind him, looked at the fields not far away, and sure enough he found a figure who wanted to hide quietly.

So he asked tentatively: "Arthur, I guess that's Mr. Downes?"

"Huh?"

Arthur, who barely suppressed his anger, looked in the direction he said, and without saying a word, he picked up the dagger and strode after him.

"Sir...Sir..."

For fear of causing trouble, Mrs. Downs and her children followed closely behind, asking for a few days of grace.

I almost knelt down on the spot:

"Dear Sir, as long as we give us another month, we can definitely return the interest and principal to Mr. Strauss."

"I don't give a damn, I just know I have to get my debt today."

After that, the strong Arthur staggered over the fence and lifted the man's collar with one hand.

"Mr. Downs, do you want to escape?"

"No, of course not, I'm just removing insects from the soil."

The so-called Downs' face was ashen, and he was coughing violently and gasping for breath. He looked like he was seriously ill.

Song Hao, who discovered this detail, was a little afraid of being infected because it was very consistent with the symptoms of tuberculosis.

Incurable disease!

So just a second before Arthur was about to punch out, he spoke up in time to stop the opponent.

"Arthur, there is actually no need to press so hard. We can sit down and talk."

"Let's talk about it?"

Arthur, who was furious, felt his cheeks getting hot: "What's there to talk about with a bastard like this? He must be taught a lesson to be obedient."

However, after listening to Song Hao's soft words, he actually became calmer.

Looking back, he first looked at the panicked women and boys, then at Downs, who looked very unhealthy, and then he loosened his fist.

"For the sake of my friend, I will give you a chance."

Otherwise, just by punching the tall and powerful Arthur like this, Downs would be paralyzed even if he didn't die.

This is definitely not a joke.

As the intermediary, Song Hao strolled over: "You are Mr. Downs, and you owe Mr. Strauss a debt, right?"

Downs, who was still shaking, sat down on the field: "But I really don't have the money to pay him back now."

"Otherwise, give me another month of grace..."

"Huh?"

A cold snort echoed, he looked at Arthur with stern eyes, and hurriedly changed his words: "If it doesn't work, just half a month, I will definitely find a way to raise the money."

"I swear by my faith."

Arthur, who had no such patience at all, threatened: "What will you do if you escape by then?"

"Am I going to ask God for debt?"

"So stop nagging me the fuck and give me the money now or I'll blow your brains out."

Hearing the tone of his voice, especially when he was still drunk, Song Hao felt that he might really shoot.

I had no choice but to look at the thin and frail women and boys in the corner, with pleading expressions on their faces.

Song Hao, who felt somewhat sympathetic, sighed: "How about this, I'll pay off part of their debt first, so it's easier for you to go back and pay the bills."

At this second, the confused Arthur frowned: "Old man, are you kidding me?"

However, Song Hao knew that he was not a good person in the West. Since he was willing to lose money to help, he naturally had conditions.

His eyes were fixed on the corn and tobacco leaves in the field: "Just think that I am buying all your crops."

"At this time in three days, I will come over personally to inspect and accept the harvest. It must be ready for me to harvest."

This can be regarded as giving people a way to survive.

However, Tangs, who was somewhat confused, even reminded: "But the crops here at my house can't be sold for much money."

"There is simply not enough interest to pay off the debt."

Song Hao, who was speechless, hated the fact that iron cannot be made into steel, and simply cursed: "Stop being so fucking verbose first, your task is to give me the things, and then find a way to collect money to pay off the debt."

After all, my hands have been stained with a lot of blood along the way, and now I finally want to accumulate some merit.

Unexpectedly, the other party was still a dumbass.

What bullshit...

After pondering for a moment, since Song Hao was interceding on behalf of their family, Arthur couldn't say much:

"Man, you made a stupid decision."

"Because parasites like them will run away sooner or later."

Song Hao shrugged his shoulders and lit a cigarette: "Unless they have such courage."

A few minutes later, he took out a small piece of gold from his pocket, which was considered as paying off part of the debt.

"Thank you sir for your great kindness!"

The excited Mrs. Downs hurriedly took her child to her knees and set an example to thank the stranger for his kindness.

As for Arthur, who was riding on his horse, he said coldly: "Don't forget the remaining half of the debt. You'd better get it together within half a month."

"Otherwise I won't be so easy to talk to next time."

Downs, who was still in shock, kept bending down to flatter him: "Of course, please tell Mr. Strauss that I will definitely repay the loan as promised."

On the other hand, Song Hao, who was riding the Silver Fang on the other side, couldn't help but shook his head:
Chapter completed!
