Solomon was both happy and sad that he hadn't found any children in the mine. He was happy that Dia wasn't here, so the possibility of him being alive was very high.
He was sad that he didn't know where his son was, where to look, and when he would find him.
Solomon's face suddenly showed an expression of ecstasy after a few minutes. He had just heard Christmas say in his earpiece that they had found a child named Dia, and had confirmed that it was Solomon's son, Dia, after asking his parents and sister for their names.
He hadn't expected to find Solomon's son, and that he was in his hands. This made Christmas feel relieved and tell Solomon the real plan. The mine was so tightly set up so that Archer could ask Jet Frobby for help and use diamonds to lure Jet Frobby into the mine.
Solomon was relieved that his son had been found. He put down the binoculars and looked at Archer, who was on the phone, and listened carefully to what he said.
Solomon was overjoyed when he heard that Archer was talking to Jet Frobby. His mission was about to be completed, and he could take his wife and children to live peacefully in other countries without war.
Solomon's heart tightened as he looked at Archer. He couldn't bear to think that Archer might die.
In their few days together, Archer had not only saved his life on the road, but also saved the life of a clergyman; and when he had wanted to go in search of his son, Archer had at last wasted an evening accompanying him in his search. Though with an impure aim, Archer had really found his wife and daughters.
After the phone call, Archer saw Solomon looking at him. "Damn it, why are you staring at me with your eyes wide open? Did you find your son?" Archer hurriedly climbed to Solomon's side and grabbed the binoculars to observe the mine.
"Solomon, where's your child?" After looking carefully for a minute, Archer suddenly said, "How can there be no children or women in this mine?"
Feeling that something was wrong, Archer became nervous. He had just been thinking about how to sneak into the mine and hadn't thought about anything else.
Now that he was distracted by the child, Archer immediately realized that something was wrong. "Why is the entire mine full of adult men? No one beats or scolds the people who don't work.
And what are they building fortifications for? Are there people from other tribes attacking here? No, I have to remind Frobby to bring more people. "
As soon as he had finished speaking, Archer suddenly felt the pistol at his waist being drawn. Instinctively he turned over and sat up, and saw Solomon pointing his gun at him.
Staring at the muzzle of the gun, Archer broke out in a cold sweat. When he had crept up, he had already unlocked the gun. The bullet was loaded, and he only had to pull the trigger to fire.
Archer raised his hand carefully, a pitiful look on his face as he said, "Solomon, we're friends. What are you doing? Don't forget where we are. If you shoot, neither of us will be able to escape.
That's right, Solomon, I saved you and helped you find your wife and daughter. We're friends, so put down your gun and let's talk. I also promised to help you find Dia. We're friends, Solomon. "
Hearing Archer's words and thinking about what had happened along the way, Solomon was sure that he didn't want Archer to die, but he didn't want Archer to ruin William's plan even more. His wife and children were all in William's hands, and William had promised him three million dollars. Solomon tightened his grip on the gun.
He took a few steps back, widening the distance between him and Archer as he said, "Throw the satellite phone over, Archer. I don't want to hurt you. Squat there and don't move. I'm saving you."
"Saving me?" Archer looked at Solomon, who had suddenly become smart and knew to keep a safe distance from him. He thought of possible guesses and scolded angrily,
"Save me? How are you going to save me? Save me with a gun? Or have you been using me all along? In order to get me to take you through the war zone, you pretended to be crazy all the way. You never thought about splitting the diamonds with me, did you, Solomon?
F * ck, I foolishly tried my best to help you find your family. I'm an idiot. I should have suspected you when we left the city. I was completely bewitched by the diamonds. God, if you were really a fisherman, how could you have taken me all the way out of Freetown without any mishaps? "
Seeing Archer slowly get up as he spoke, Solomon hurriedly took a few more steps back and pointed the gun at Archer.
"Squat down, Archer. Don't try to rush over when I'm not paying attention. I don't want to hurt you, but if you move again, I can only shoot. My mission is complete. Now all I have to do is wait. Don't make me shoot, Archer."
"Mission?" Archer looked at Solomon's firm gaze and knew that Solomon wasn't joking. He squatted down helplessly. "What mission? God, what mission would involve me? I'm just a poor man. Solomon, are you mistaken?"
"No, the mission is on you. From the moment you made that phone call, everything was over for me. I'm sorry, Archer. The diamonds were sold the day after you found me.
I also knew that Jessie and the children were in the Tahing refugee camp. Someone just told me that Dillard had been found. My mission is over. To me, you're a good person, so I don't want you to die. Just lie there obediently and don't move. Wait for all this to be over. "
Hearing Solomon repeatedly say that he didn't want to kill him, Archer relaxed. He lay on the ground and said, "So this is all a trap. The people in the mine are all your people. The target is Jett Frobby."
"Yes, throw the satellite phone over. Archer, if the plan is leaked, my whole family will die. You don't understand how difficult it is to deal with the man called Jett Frobby this time.
From the moment you started to contact me, everything was under their control. The helicopter pilot who took us to the Tahing refugee camp was one of them.
And do you know why Jessie happened to be on the barbed wire fence when we arrived at the Tahing refugee camp? "
Archer's heart sank and he shook his head.
"That's because when we arrived, the soldiers around us were all people they had bribed. As soon as we arrived, someone informed Jessie to deliver something there. Jessie was protected and monitored by them not long after she entered the Tahing refugee camp. Archer, their eyes were on our every move."
