In the slums of St. George, which was filled with dilapidated houses and illegal buildings, St. Paul's Monastery, which had a long history, could be said to be a clear stream in the mud swamp. Its architectural style was strict and solemn, with a distinct European style.
However, the gang that took over St. Paul's Monastery obviously had no concept of preserving cultural relics. Other than the main chapel, the auxiliary prayer rooms, living quarters, dining rooms, and other buildings were mostly dilapidated, with trash everywhere.
The fountain in the small open-air square in front of the chapel was flattened, and a simple stage was set up. There were actually sound instruments on it, and a guy with dreadlocks was busy in front of the mixer.
Hundreds of men and women surrounded the stage. Some were shaking their heads to the rhythm of the music, some were hugging each other intimately, some were smoking hemp, and some were playing with firearms.
There was a strange smell in the air.
When Zuo Yi followed a few members of Hellfire into the monastery, many people cast their gazes over.
Surprise, curiosity, mockery, indifference, malevolence...
"Wait here."
The tattooed man left these words and strode into the chapel.
Zuo Yi stayed in the small square, guarded by two gang members.
While waiting for the tattooed man to return, some members of Hellfire came over and asked them a few questions, then looked at Zuo Yi with a meaningful gaze.
It was like a hunter who saw a fat prey.
After four or five minutes, a man in a checkered shirt came out of the chapel, followed by the tattooed man.
"Are you here to ransom someone?"
The man in the checkered shirt was thin, and his height was at most 1.7 meters. He walked over to Zuo Yi, raised his chin and asked arrogantly, "Did you bring the money?"
Two burly men with ferocious looks stood behind him, glaring at Zuo Yi like a tiger eyeing its prey.
"I brought it."
Zuo Yi patted the backpack in his hand and asked, "Where is he?"
"You've got guts, huh?"
The man in the checkered shirt showed a strange smile, "You are the first Da Xia person who dares to appear here."
His English was not bad, at least much better than the tattooed man.
"There's a first time for everything."
Zuo Yi lightly said: "Let's trade now."
The man in the checkered shirt took a deep look at Zuo Yi, as if he wanted to remember his appearance in his mind. He raised his hand and waved it.
Soon, two people with black bags over their heads were escorted over by the Hellfire members. The checkered shirt reached out and tore off the bags.
"Ah!"
The two of them cried out at the same time. Their eyes were suddenly stimulated by the strong light, and both of them revealed a terrified expression.
Although they had not seen each other for ten years, Zuo Yi still recognized the two at a glance.
Gu Yun Xi's parents, Gu Kai and Zhang Wei!
He nodded and unzipped his backpack. First, he took out Teck.
(⊙ o ⊙) (⊙ o ⊙) (⊙ o ⊙) (⊙ o ⊙)
The surrounding Hellfire members were dumbfounded. What the hell was this?
Woof!
Teck barked, and the stack of hundred-dollar bills in his mouth immediately fell back into the backpack.
Zuo Yi casually threw this guy on the ground, and then threw the heavy backpack to the checkered shirt.
Although the man in the checkered shirt looked weak, his skills and reaction were not bad. He grabbed the backpack in one go.
Glancing at the US dollars that filled more than half of the backpack, he weighed it, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
Zuo Yi said: "Let them go."
The corner of the checkered shirt's mouth twitched, and he raised his hand and snapped his fingers. "En."
The two Hellfire members pushed Gu Kai and Zhang Wei towards Zuo Yi.
The two of them staggered forward and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Zuo Yi's eyes were sharp and his hands were fast. He held them on both sides at the same time.
"Uncle, auntie, are you okay?"
At this time, Gu Kai's vision recovered a lot. Looking at Zuo Yi who held him, he couldn't believe his eyes. "You, you are Zuo Yi?"
When Zuo Yi and Gu Yun Xi were in love, Zuo Yi and her parents had met several times. Gu Kai had a deep impression of Zuo Yi, the guy who almost took away the pearl in his hand.
Therefore, although the current Zuo Yi was much more mature than before, he still recognized him.
"Zuo Yi? How come it's you? "
Zhang Wei, who also recovered her vision, was also shocked. "Where is Yaoming?"
"Let's not talk about this first."
Zuo Yi said, "I will send you back."
Gu Kai and Zhang Wei woke up and looked at the surrounding Hellfire members in fear. They nodded hurriedly.
Since they were kidnapped yesterday until now, they were shocked and scared. It could be said that they were physically and mentally exhausted and couldn't wait to get out of this dangerous place.
However, when Zuo Yi turned around and was about to leave with the two, several Hellfire members with weapons blocked the door!
These gangsters had a grim smile on their faces, and their eyes were full of ridicule.
Zuo Yi frowned, turned around and said to the checkered shirt, "I have paid the ransom, is there any problem?"
The checkered shirt smiled.
He touched his chin and slowly took out a cigar from his jacket pocket. He bit off the cap and put it in his mouth, then grabbed a stack of US dollars from his backpack and took out a bill between his fingers.
Click!
An Hellfire member next to him lit the lighter. The checkered shirt put the US dollar bill between his fingers to light it, and then used the burning US dollar bill to light the cigar in his mouth.
Throwing the stack of US dollars back into the backpack held by his men, he took a puff of the cigar, exhaled smoke and said, "I just lit it, the number of ransom is wrong, there is one less, so you can't leave."
Gu Kai and Zhang Wei, who thought they had escaped, were stunned.
They never thought that the other party would be so shameless, not letting them go after paying the ransom.
Zhang Wei's tears flowed out, "How can you do this?"
The surrounding Hellfire members all burst into laughter!
The man in the checkered shirt also started to cackle weirdly. "Who asked you Great Xia people to be so rich!"
Being rich is the original sin!
"Since you don't follow the rules …"
Among all the people present, the only one whose expression didn't change was Zuo Yi, "Then you have to bear the responsibility."
As soon as his voice fell, Gu Kai and Zhang Wei immediately felt that they were lifted by an invisible force, and they were involuntarily lifted into the air in an instant.
Screech ~
Just when the two were scared out of their wits and thought that they were going to fall to the ground, a huge Griffin appeared out of thin air and just happened to hold them on its back.
With a fierce flap of its wings, the Griffin instantly rose to a height of hundreds of meters in the air!
This time it was the Hellfire members' turn to be stunned. They felt that what just happened was like a dream.
It was too unreal.
At this moment, Zuo Yi's voice rang in everyone's ears, "I declare that all of you are guilty!"
