Chapter 166 Scream

Life is so strange, yesterday, the guerrillas who were chased by the police ran wildly, today, the police were chased by the regular army.

The regular army also rides with one man and two riders, and it is not easy to get rid of them.

However, who told Rock to be tricked by Louis Botha yesterday, if he suffered a loss, he would have to learn a lesson, and if he didn't accept a lesson, it would be a stick.

Rock is definitely not a mallet. Running, Rock found that there was also a valley beside the road——

An hour later, the scene was almost the same as yesterday, the police were on one side of the valley, and the cavalry of the regular army was on the other side of the valley.

At this time, Rock realized the mood of Louis Botha yesterday.

not bad.

"Thank you, there's no need to give it away—" Before leaving, Rock still didn't forget to provoke.

There are more gentlemen in the regular army than the police, so yelling and scolding must be indispensable, but no one shoots black guns.

-

After eating and sleeping all the way, and returning to Johannesburg, Henry's father had indeed taken office.

It was only at this time that Rock knew that Henry's father was Philip.

Philip Mathilda.

The temporary residence of the new mayor is located on the outskirts of Johannesburg. It was originally the mansion of Cecil Rhodes Jr., and Philip Matilda would live here before the city hall and official residence were built.

What needs to be emphasized is that the city hall and the mayor's mansion, which have already been selected but have not yet started construction, are not far from the police station. It seems that the surrounding area will become a noble residential area in Johannesburg in the future.

Christian, who is full of thieves, has started large-scale construction of mansions near the police station while building the city hall and the mayor's mansion.

Johannesburg is surrounded by gold mines, and the luxury houses are not worried about being sold. They are near the police station, and there is no need to worry about security issues. As long as the supporting facilities are well prepared, it will not be too easy to make money.

On the afternoon of Rock's return to Johannesburg he called on Philip Matilda.

"Director Locke?" It was a young man who came forward to receive Rock. His eyebrows and eyes were somewhat similar to Henry's, and Rock's affection instantly increased.

"Yes, I'm Locke, nice to meet you." Rock offered his hand.

"Hi Locke, I'm Henry's brother Owen, nice to meet you, Henry mentioned you many times, in his mouth you are omnipotent." Owen was very enthusiastic, and hit it off with Rock at first sight.

"It's not that exaggerated, I just did what I should do." Rock was humble and could feel Owen's kindness.

"Please come in, Mr. Mayor is waiting for you in the study." Owen was a little embarrassed when he said "Mr. Mayor", and he probably hasn't adapted yet.

"Thank you—" Roque thanked again, and followed Owen to the second floor.

Philip Matilda is about 50 years old this year. He has a thin body, but a burly figure, which gives people a strong sense of oppression when he stands up.

Probably because he has been working in an office all year round, Philip Matilda is a bit bald, and his hair doesn't look like a beard. He wears a pair of rimless glasses and looks refined, but he can feel it from his sharp eyes. , this is a difficult person to get along with.

Of course, this has little effect on Roque. With the relationship between Roque and Henry, Philip Matilda should not wear small shoes for Roque.

"Hello, Director Locke." When Rock entered the door, Philip Matilda stood up and shook hands with Rock.

"Mayor, I'm sorry, I just returned to Johannesburg due to work." Rock first apologized, and the relationship should not be messed up.

"No need to apologize, you did a good job. I already know that you have wiped out two guerrillas this time and killed Quentin Summerfield. The Governor's Palace will issue you a commendation order. Maybe you don't know, including Including the expeditionary force, this is the first time we have eliminated the Boer guerrillas in an organized way, and it is two at a time, which is very good!" Philip Matilda talked endlessly, although this matter is different from that of Philip Marty It has nothing to do with Matilda, but this is also the achievement of Philip Matilda.

To put it bluntly, Philip Matilda traveled thousands of miles from the British mainland to the Transvaal just for political achievements, otherwise, Philip Matilda would not give up the peaceful life in London.

"Tell me, how did you do it—" Philip Matilda asked Rock to sit on the opposite sofa.

Owen sat down on the sofa next to Rock in a disfigured manner, and crossed his legs!

Philip Matilda glanced at it seemingly at random.

Owen immediately raised his hands to admit his mistake, and got up in despair to pour tea.

Philip Matilda looked at Roque again, with a very professional smile on the corner of his mouth.

Rock immediately straightened his back.

"I got the news of Quentin Summerfield on September [-]th, and I led the team out that night - thank you Owen - after Krugersdorp missed, I accidentally found Quentin Summerfield Field and Luis Botha together—" Roarke said.

"Wait, Louis Botha, you mean Louis Botha?" Philip Matilda interrupted Roque's narration.

"Yes, Louis Botha!" Rock was very sure.

Philip Matilda sat up straight and made a "continue" gesture.

"We chased Louis Botha for three days and nights, from Krugersdorp to Cape territory, where we had a small encounter with Louis Botha's guerrillas , killed Quentin Summerfield in the battle, and then we encountered a certain cavalry unit—" Rock was still a little guilty.

Before Philip Matilda could speak, Owen, fascinated, interjected: "And then?"

This time Philip Matilda gave Owen a savage look.

Owen looked at Roque without squinting, pretending not to see.

"There is no later, we are the Johannesburg Police Department, and we have no law enforcement authority in the Cape, so - I don't want to make trouble, at least we can be sure that Louis Botha is now far away from the Transvaal." Rock did not He's a baron father, so it's better to be careful in everything.

"What a pity!" Owen sighed.

"Good job Chief, beyond my imagination, but we can't rest yet. The law and order situation in Johannesburg is very serious. I'll leave this to you." long vacation.

This is also normal, the mayor has to stay up late to work, you, the bureau chief, still want to take a vacation?

Do you still want to do it?

"Yes, Mr. Mayor, I will do my best." Roque also refused to make promises. If the peace agreement is not finalized, the security situation in Johannesburg will not improve.

After bidding farewell to Philip Matilda, Roque went out accompanied by Owen. As soon as he arrived at the door, there was a surprise cheer from behind: "Rock!"

It's Phyllis.

Rock immediately smiled.

"Lock, when did you come back?" Phyllis, who was wearing a fluffy dress, floated in front of Rock like a cloud.

Rock almost laughed out loud.

"Is it funny?" Phyllis immediately turned cold.

"No, no, it's very beautiful. I've never seen you wear it like this before." Rock immediately changed his words, and his desire to survive was quite strong.

Phyllis immediately forgot why she was angry just now, and turned around in front of Roque happily: "Isn't it beautiful?"

Has anyone ever asked someone that?

What else could Rock say, he could only nod his head repeatedly: "Yeah, it's really beautiful!"

In order to increase his persuasiveness, Rock also asked for Owen's opinion: "Really?"

Owen didn't speak. He folded his arms and pinched his chin. He looked at Rock and then at Phyllis with a playful expression.

"What are you looking at?" Phyllis showed no shame to Owen, just like she did to Henry.

"It's nothing, it's nothing, it's really pretty." Owen woke up like a dream.

Rock immediately understood why Phyllis was sometimes gentle as water, and sometimes innocent and lively.

Gentle as water?

That must be an illusion.

"Goodbye Owen, goodbye Phyllis—" Rock left according to the normal process.

"Goodbye Locke—" Owen waved his hand, everything was normal.

"Wait for me, Locke—" Phyllis caught up with Rock with the hem of her skirt.

"What's wrong?" Rock was surprised.

"I'm almost suffocating at home, I'm going to the police station with you." Phyllis didn't seem to like this family very much.

That's right, otherwise Phyllis wouldn't have run away to Cape Town.

"Hey, Phyllis, come back, father will be angry." Owen had to intervene.

"No, I'm also a policeman, so I'm going to work in the police station." Phyllis plausibly said that she really seemed to be a policeman.

I'm making it up!

"No, Phyllis, you can't be willful now." Owen insisted, he must know his sister's character, and Owen would not let Phyllis go with Roque until certain things were confirmed.

"Phyllis, go back. I'll send you some fun things later." Roque didn't create conflicts between Owen and Phyllis, and Owen immediately gave Roque a grateful look.

Phyllis was delighted.

"Really? What fun stuff?" Probably because Phyllis and Roque were too familiar, so Phyllis's hand unconsciously took Roque's arm.

Before Rock could answer, he heard a loud shout from the side.

"What the hell are you doing?"

Rock turned around.

He is a strong man with the same eyebrows and eyes as Henry. He is very burly, probably taller than Roque. Of course, his expression is very unfriendly now. He glared at Roque, his fists clenched. Tight, striding toward Rock.

"Arnold, don't be like this—" Owen took the initiative to stand in front of Rock and open his arms.

"Lock, go quickly—" Phyllis pushed Rock in the opposite direction this time.

This action obviously angered Arnold even more. His beard stood on end, like an angry lion, he pulled Owen away casually, and strode towards Rock: "Damn stop!"

Rock spread his hands, he didn't run at all.

Arnold came to Rock and punched Rock in the face.

"Stop!" Owen exclaimed.

"No!" Phyllis screamed.

 Originally, there would be no change today, but in the morning, two brothers rewarded four million rewards. Without saying anything, the fourth watch started——
