Raymond Eddie frowned when he saw this. He didn't feel sorry for the woman, nor did he feel angry or dissatisfied.
However, it seemed obvious to him that the old hand had lied and deceived him, which made him very angry and made him more determined to make an example of him.
Raymond Eddie was about to ask before he could speak. A voice behind him spoke first:
"Hey... bitch, this is our deputy commander. It's your luck that he likes you, so you have to serve him well, okay?
You will definitely get the money!"
After saying that, he looked at Raymond Eddie with a flattering expression.
Upon hearing this, Raymond Eddie's eyes condensed, and he turned his head and glared at the other person fiercely, then turned his head to the woman and said:
"Ma'am, please tell me if this soldier just violated you."
The woman heard this and looked up at the people who came in with a little fear. Before she could answer, the old man shouted out his injustice:
...
...
"Sir, you can't say that, what do you mean I violated her?
I'm spending money here, so your words are obviously misleading."
Raymond Eddie couldn't stand it anymore and turned back to glare at the old man fiercely. He was extremely annoyed. It turned out that when he was working at the police headquarters, no one dared to talk to him like this.
Everyone is trying to please him with all their might, but this bastard obviously doesn't take him seriously and keeps provoking him again and again. How can he tolerate this?
He rebuked in a cold tone:
"Shut up! If I hear you make another sound, I'll kill you!"
The old man's expression froze when he heard this, but he quickly recovered to an indifferent expression, shrugged, and made a please gesture to Raymond Eddie.
This disrespectful behavior made Raymond Eddie even more angry. He sentenced the other party to death in his heart and thought that he must find a way to kill the other party.
But in the current situation, they certainly cannot just turn against each other. After being hit by the huge changes in his family, Raymond Eddie has undergone some changes in his personality and has begun to be cautious in doing things.
He is no longer as reckless as before, and he thinks this is a sign of maturity.
He suppressed the anger in his heart, turned his head and continued to look at the woman, hoping to find a breakthrough and directly nail this old fox.
But what he didn't notice was that after he turned around, the old man had slowly removed the rifle from his back and calmly pointed the muzzle at his back.
For the old man, he didn't care about this so-called deputy commander at all. These desperate people had followed Bartlett Clo through life and death, and would only obey Bartlett Clo's command.
As for the fact that Bartlett Kro was a subordinate of the Eddie family, they didn't care at all. If Bartlett Kro needed it, they would kill this so-called commander and deputy commander at a single order.
What they would like to see is Bartlett Cröll becoming their new commander.
Then he winked at another soldier beside him, and the soldier understood and raised his rifle as well, but pointed the muzzle at the child next to the woman.
All this was done behind Raymond Eddie's back, so he had no idea.
Of course, the woman sitting opposite the men saw everything. At that moment, her heart went cold, knowing that if she gave any wrong answer to her child, she would pay with her life.
Therefore, without waiting for Raymond Eddie to continue asking questions, he immediately replied tremblingly:
"Sir, I'm fine. These two sirs have money to pay!"
When Raymond Eddie heard the woman's answer, he was stunned. He never expected this answer.
When the old man heard the woman's answer, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, revealing a satisfied smile, and slowly put the gun back.
Upon seeing this, the other rebel calmly withdrew his weapon.
The woman breathed a sigh of relief when she saw this.
This action clearly caught Raymond Eddie's attention, and he quickly turned around to look at the two soldiers.
But he found nothing. Instead, the old man looked at him with a mocking smile, which made him feel insulted like never before.
He had taken the rare opportunity to meddle in other people's business, but it made him so unhappy. At this moment, his brain was working rapidly, thinking about how to kill this old fox.
As a result, he obviously couldn't think of any good solution. He could only suppress his anger, clenched his fists, looked at the woman again and said:
"So, you are really in the flesh trade?"
The woman's eyes turned red when she heard this. She tried hard to hold back the tears that were about to burst out, and said with a choked voice:
"Yes... yes, sir."
Even a fool would know that there was something wrong with this kind of behavior, but Raymond Eddie also understood that with the two soldiers behind him, he would not be able to get anything out of them.
Now he has realized that he was too careless this time.
Not to mention that he had no guards with him, but these two soldiers were also following him the whole time. Even if the other party was wronged, they would definitely not dare to speak out.
Thinking of this, he felt something in his heart, sighed, and said to the woman helplessly:
"Well, if you have any grievances or dissatisfaction, you can come to my headquarters at any time, and I will definitely give you justice."
Raymond Eddie was obviously not a man who often upheld justice. He knew that the other party might be concerned about the presence of two rebels and might not dare to say certain things, so he reminded the other party that he could report to the headquarters.
But he said such words without sending the two soldiers away, obviously without thinking.
The woman didn't notice anything, she just waved her hands and said:
"Sir, no need. I have not been wronged."
But the old hand was obviously a real old hand. After hearing what Raymond Eddie said, his eyes turned cold. He looked at the other soldier beside him calmly. Seeing that the other party was still a little confused, he didn't say much.
Just made up my mind.
Seeing that he had failed to make a breakthrough with the woman, Raymond Eddie could only turn around and leave helplessly, not wanting to say anything more to such a pariah.
Seeing this, the old man and another soldier also followed him out with smiles on their faces.
Raymond Eddie walked out of the house with a gloomy face. He turned to the two rebel soldiers who were still smiling and said in a cold tone:
"You're lucky this time. You'd better pray that I don't catch you. Otherwise, you're dead."
The experienced soldier still showed no signs of nervousness and said with a smile:
"Deputy Commander, look at what you said. We are all good soldiers who abide by the rules. How could there be any handle for us to catch? You must be overthinking it."
Raymond Eddie had no good way to deal with this shameless old soldier.
He could only snort coldly and turn away.
He originally wanted to ask the two soldiers about the stolen cigarettes, but he had to control his emotions and planned to discuss it with his brother first to avoid acting rashly and causing any trouble to his brother.
However, what he did not notice was that two rebel soldiers were standing behind him, staring at his back with cold eyes, as if they were looking at a corpse.
To these desperate criminals who kept their heads on their belts, the Eddie brothers were actually outsiders, and they were only obeying orders from their boss.
As for who the Eddie brothers were, they didn't care. Moreover, although they were kept in the dark, they also knew what kind of people the Eddie brothers were as they got to know them over time.
And what was the reason for this? Therefore, in their hearts, they didn't feel anything about Briso Eddie.
But Raymond Eddy was despised by everyone. Therefore, they had no respect for Raymond Eddy, the so-called deputy commander.
The soldier, who had always had little presence, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Raymond Eddie walking away, and said to the old man beside him:
"Boss, what should we do now? It looks like the deputy commander is not going to let us go just like that!"
Hearing this, the old man smiled disdainfully and said:
"I don't believe he can do anything to us."
As he spoke, he glanced at the house behind him with a sinister look and said to the soldier:
“We can’t keep this mother and son together. Although the woman doesn’t dare to say anything under our coercion, there’s no guarantee that the bastard will come back and arrest the woman for questioning after we leave.
If things don’t go well, they will find a reason to arrest us.”
The soldier was obviously a smart man. When he heard the old man's words, he gritted his teeth and nodded, with a hint of ruthlessness flashing in his eyes.
Raymond Eddie, who left, had never thought that his disturbance would cost the lives of the poor mother and son. Of course, he did not take these people's lives seriously.
What really annoyed him now was that he simply couldn't feel any respect from these old veterans. This situation made him feel a sense of crisis.
Of course, this wasn't the first day he felt this way.
He rushed back to the house where Briso Eddie was, and saw that he was still staring at the map in deep thought. This made him hesitate, and for a moment he didn't know whether he should say this to his brother.
But Brisso Eddy heard him coming in, and also felt Raymond Eddy's emotions. He frowned and asked with some dissatisfaction:
"What's wrong? What happened?"
Hearing his brother asking the question, Raymond Eddie no longer hesitated and directly told the story of what had just happened, adding some exaggeration at the end.
"These damn guys don't take us brothers seriously at all. I think we should hurry up and recruit soldiers. Otherwise, it will be hard to tell who owns this team."
When Brisso Eddy heard this, his face darkened. He knew that Bartlett Klo respected him very much and was willing to obey his command.
However, this armed force has always been led by Bartlett Clo, and the Eddi family has not been too involved, so in the current situation, Briso Eddi has already felt the crisis.
As a superior, the people under him are all subordinates of another person, and anyone can feel threatened. Not to mention a smart person like Briso Eddy.
He believed in Bartlett's loyalty, but he couldn't trust him unconditionally.
So, when Raymond Eddie told him what happened today, he immediately felt the huge crisis.
"We really need to hurry up with the recruitment. It is very dangerous for us brothers to not have our own men.
How about this! All the soldiers recruited this time will be under your management.
Are you confident that you can make the team combat-ready as soon as possible?"
When Raymond Eddy heard that his brother was going to let him lead the newly recruited soldiers, he immediately became happy and patted his chest and assured Briso Eddy:
"Don't worry! Brother, I haven't been in the Police Headquarters for nothing all these years. I have received a lot of military training. I guarantee that I can train a combat-ready team."
Upon hearing this, Brisso Eddie looked his brother up and down, and after a long while he said in a serious tone:
"I hope you won't let me down again. This is the capital for our future survival. I don't think you want to be arrested again!"
Raymond Eddie certainly didn't want to be arrested and imprisoned again, so he looked at his brother with a firm gaze and said:
"Brother, don't worry, I won't let you down."
Seeing his brother's eyes, Briso Eddie nodded with satisfaction. In fact, under the current circumstances, he had no other subordinates he could trust. If he did, he would never pin his hopes on this unreliable brother.
"You just said that soldier said that their cigarettes were taken from the government army's spoils of war?"
Raymond Eddie didn't expect that his brother didn't care about the woman who was violated, but asked about cigarettes.
Although he didn't quite understand why, he still answered honestly:
"Yes, that old soldier told me so."
After receiving a positive answer, Brisso Eddy's face became even uglier. After occupying Manguari, he asked Batlle Claud to seal up all the spoils and wait for his distribution.
Unexpectedly, the things that he had ordered to be sealed appeared so blatantly in the hands of these soldiers.
Obviously, someone did not follow through with his orders. This showed how poor his control over the team was.
This made him even more alert.
But he is a smart man and knows that some things should be done slowly and not too hastily, otherwise, he might end up in a ditch.
At this time, Raymond Eddie couldn't help but say:
"Brother, that soldier obviously violated your orders. Do you think I should take some people over there and arrest him and enforce military discipline?"
Briso Eddie certainly understood what his brother meant. Although he didn't know the idiom "killing the chicken to scare the monkey", he was very clear about this method of establishing authority.
However, he knew in his heart that if he really arrested this veteran soldier and executed him now, it might cause his men to become alienated from him.
This is absolutely reckless behavior that is not advisable.
After thinking for a while, he looked up at Raymond Eddy and said:
"Go ahead and quietly bring someone to bring this mother and son to the headquarters. We will first find out the truth of the matter before moving on to the next step."
After hearing this, Raymond Eddie didn't know how his brother was going to deal with it, but it was obvious that he was not going to let this matter go easily. This made him very satisfied. After all, that old soldier had severely damaged the face of him, the deputy commander.
If he can't find it back, he will never be able to hold his head up again.
