My Beauty Collection: Starting from Banshee Town

Chapter 245 For the Horde
Thompson slowly took a hookah from the side and stuffed tobacco into the pipe:
"Later, your father was seriously ill, and we found that Proctor was no longer under his control. His growing ambitions would not be reconciled to the few points of shares in the slot machine."

"We learned about the agreement between Proctor and your father through our own channels. After the completion of the new casino, he will get five points of equity in the entire casino, as well as other benefits."

"If it's just the shares, we won't take it to heart."

"After all, Proctor has done a lot of things, and the sold shares are still from your family's shares. We don't care about this."

Thompson lit the tobacco with a lighter and continued:

"But everyone knows what Proctor's real business is, and we also found that he was using casino channels to launder the black money he earned from selling pills."

Nora's face changed, and she said quickly:

"This cannot be tolerated and hurts the very roots of our tribe."

"Yes."

Thompson took a draw from his pipe:
"If it is targeted by the federal department, the entire Chino tribe will not have a good life."

Nora was not stupid, and it all explained.

This is why the Langside family has made such a great contribution to the Chino tribe. Alex was targeted as soon as his father died, and the tribal committee did not miss the old feelings at all.

Nora gritted her teeth, and said in a deep voice, "Is this why you all joined forces to depose Alex?"

Thompson looked at Ethan. The relationship between him and Nora was obviously not simple, and he didn't care about telling the news that was unknown to outsiders:

"Son, don't blame us."

"As long as Alex loses the rights in his hand, even if the two of them have completed the equity transaction. We also have a way to curb Proctor's steady flow of independent funds."

Thompson bit his pipe and said emphatically, "It's all for the Horde."

Ethan also took out his cigarette and opened the lighter cover:

"It's just that you failed."

"That's right." Thompson took a puff of his pipe unconvinced: "Under Proctor's intimidation, many committee members gave in, so the proposal to remove Alex was rejected."

"Then what happened afterwards? How did you and my brother get together again?"

Nora originally looked down on Thompson, thinking that he was a repeated villain who wanted to attack her brother right after her father died, but after knowing his original intention, her face softened.

"Then I had a disagreement with George Hunter." Thompson brushed off the ashes:
"At that time, if Alex was dismissed, the chief would belong to George. As a result, he lost too badly, and he felt resentment in his heart, and he was determined to fight against your brother."

"And I think Alex is also forced to help. This child is very strong on the outside, but on the inside..."

Thompson glanced at Nora: "In short, I want to stand with him, let him know that he is not fighting alone, and let him have more courage to resist Proctor."

"We did wait for the opportunity. I still remember that that night, Alex called me very excitedly, saying that he had reached a cooperation with the Banshee Town Police Department and wanted to send Proctor to prison together."

"Unexpectedly, after that, not long after that, he disappeared."

After speaking, Thompson fell into silence, staring blankly at the pipe on the table.

In his eyes, apart from regret, there was also a trace of panic.

Although Nora used the aggressive method just now, seeing Thompson's appearance, she was indeed a little frightened.

Unlike ordinary clansmen, as a committee member, he always has an income of several hundred thousand a year, with his wife and children in his arms, so why bother to fight a lunatic.

But it didn't affect much, Ethan and Nora never thought of pulling these pampered committee members to fight against Proctor from the beginning to the end.

Ethan winked at Nora, and Nora cleared her throat and said loudly:
"I want to be chief."

Thompson stopped in a daze and came back to his senses: "What did you say?"

Nora looked serious and said seriously: "I, Nora Langside, want to be the chief."

Thompson pursed his lips, but he still couldn't believe what he heard. The man in front of him, who never came back every year, actually said that he wanted to be a chief:
"why?"

"Because I am Longside, for more than 200 years, the chief of the Chino Tribe has always been Longside. After that, the chief of the Chino Tribe must also be a member of Longside."

Nora's eyes were determined, and she continued with an undeniable tone:
"Help me, you will be the standing committee member in the future."

"If you don't help me, you will sit in this seat forever from now on."

Nora grabbed the two guns on the table and pointed at Thompson: "Although you didn't say it just now, I know what you mean. Yes, Alex's character is very cowardly."

"But I'm not Alex, I'm Nora Ronside, be my enemy or my friend, you choose."

Ethan stepped on the table with one foot stretched out, looking at Thompson with a smile.

Facing the two guns pointed at him, Thompson's forehead leaked a thin layer of sweat, and then the corners of his mouth slowly rose:

"Your father is right, you are the one who resembles him the most."

"If Alex had your strength, he wouldn't die."

"I will help you. I am also very interested in George's position."

Faced with threats and temptations, Thompson quickly made a decision. He stood up and gave Nora a high-five.

From the time he knew that he had been terrified, Ethan was sure that Thompson would definitely choose to cooperate with them. People who don't have persistence in their hearts are the easiest to be forced to retreat psychologically.

What's more, Thompson can be regarded as Alex's person, and he won't have much resistance to standing with Nora.

After high-fiving Nora, Thompson sat down.

He wiped the fine sweat from his forehead, and said to Nora, "You have found a good helper."

Ethan smiled and spread his hands.

"How did you know I had a weapon hidden under the table?" Thompson asked with interest.

Ethan shrugged, "It's just a professional habit."

Since Nora took out the gun, Thompson's eyes moved to the table from time to time. There was nothing on the table, so there must be a mystery hidden underneath.

Especially when he was staring at the pipe in a daze, his body was always tense.

They are all old foxes, and none of them are vegetarians.

If you are scared, you will be scared, everyone wants to struggle in the face of desperation.

"Don't worry, it's not for you." Thompson shook his head: "Since I was almost kidnapped last time, I have put weapons in convenient places at home."

"I've made a high-five vow with Nora, you can rest assured."

Ethan looked at Nora, and Nora nodded.

Only then did he take back his foot that had stepped on the table. If Thompson had dared to make unnecessary movements just now, he would have kicked it over, and Thompson would never have had a chance to take the gun.
