shadow of britain

Chapter 94
The gangster leader raised his hands and knelt on the ground.

He wanted to show Arthur that he didn't mean any disrespect, but the barrel of the gun was stuffed in his mouth, and he didn't dare to say a word, so he nodded slightly in respect.

Seeing him resigned, Arthur drew the gun from his mouth.

However, as soon as he drew his gun, he felt his back being held back by something.

Behind him came the girl Fiona's angry and slightly hysterical shout: "Do you think you are the only one with a gun? My old lady has almost stripped off, and you can see her whole body, so she won't leave any money behind." Can you still make sense of it?"

Seeing this, the Red Devil laughed and leaned against the wall and taunted: "Arthur, look, I told you to tie her up tighter, but you just won't listen to me. This is good, your life It's all in her hands."

The gangster couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief when he saw that his companion not only got out of trouble but also subdued Arthur.

"Fiona, you're really good! We don't even need to save you."

Fiona stared at them and scolded: "I count on you bastards who are eggless, I guess they have been eaten and wiped out, and then they were killed and thrown into the Thames River.

So relying on a man is worse than relying on yourself. My mother knew that sooner or later the blade hidden in her bra would come in handy.

What the hell are you all doing in a daze, don't you hurry up and tie up this kid, do you still need my old lady to teach you! "

In the past, the gangsters would have to refute when Fiona scolded them, but today they really had no choice but to obey.

The gangsters hurriedly snatched the pistol from Arthur, took out the cloth strips they had prepared earlier, and wrapped Arthur's hands behind their backs round and round.

Fiona walked around in front of Arthur, she held the sheet used to cover her body in one hand, and held a gun against Arthur's chin in the other.

"Big baby, since you are so tall and strong, you made me happy, so I just rob you of some money and forget it. Maybe I can consider taking your business alone in the future.

But you are so ungentlemanly, not only did you draw a gun at a lady, but you tied me behind my back on the bed, and you didn't even want a blanket to cover me.

I'm only wearing a corset. If something goes wrong with me from the cold, how are you going to compensate me for my graceful body that can fascinate a bunch of idiots and rush to give me money? "

Arthur looked at her calmly, and just said: "But you told me before that you only charge one shilling at a time. I only know that cheap things don't have good things."

When Fiona heard this, she suddenly became angry from embarrassment, and she blushed and cursed: "One shilling is for you to get cheap! If I don't want to, even if you give ten thousand pounds, you won't be able to touch the hem of my skirt! You don’t know what to do, I’ve changed my mind, I’m not only going to steal all your money, I’m going to sell you to Fred’s boat!”

"Fred's boat?"

When Arthur heard this sentence, he became very interested. He retorted: "Ma'am, you should know that I used to make a living on a boat by looking at my clothes. The ocean is nothing for me to be afraid of."

"Oh! Really! Kid, your mouth is very hard!"

Fiona's pale face, which looked like a freshly painted wall, turned into two blushes of anger: "When you get on the boat, you won't have such a strong backbone! Then you still want to play with women?
Hehe, the ship is full of young and middle-aged indentured slaves who are going to be shipped to North America. You are so tall and handsome, I believe they will like you very much if they have nowhere to vent!
And the life on board is just the beginning, and the good days are still to come.When you get to America, you will know what real hell is.

With a construction period of seven to nine years, the employers of those plantations will not love you as much as I do.

At that time, your treatment may not be as good as black slaves, because black slaves are their lifelong property, but you will have a day to terminate the employment contract, so they will definitely use you to death!

Oh, by the way, someone as strong as you may be used to breed with black female slaves, and the children born at that time will still have to wear shackles to work for them.

This is your fate, you brought it on yourself, idiot from India! "

Arthur nodded slightly, and he said, "Thank you very much for your enthusiastic help, ma'am, what you just said is almost as good as my investigation results for several months. In order to express my gratitude, I will explain to you one of my own research results. scientific theorem."

"Scientific theorems?" Fiona said disdainfully: "You vulgar sailor still understands scientific theorems? Then tell me, I'm happy to hear it, and maybe I can give you some small things before I sell you." award."

"Of course." Arthur smiled: "Although I am wearing a sailor suit, I am not the same as the kind of person who squats on the Royal Navy ship and only knows how to draw pictures. To be honest, I was still in the journal of the Royal Society last month. published a paper, do you know Hastings force?"

Fiona frowned and asked, "What is Hastings Force?"

Arthur turned his back, motioning her to look at his bound hands.

"The so-called Hastings power means that as long as you have enough strength, you can perform miracles!"

There was a bang, and the strip of cloth snapped in two, and Arthur's hands tied behind his back broke free in an instant.

Fiona opened her mouth slightly, but before she could cry out in surprise, she found that the pistol she was holding was already in Arthur's hand.

Arthur's strong arms like iron pincers locked her in his arms, and the pistol also pressed against her temple.

He lowered his head and took a look at the gun. The appearance was very familiar. It was the same gun from Scotland Yard, and it should be the batch that was smuggled out after Willox's 'resurrection' according to the legend.

He smiled lightly: "It seems that everything is clear. Fred also sold you this gun?"

Seeing this, the gangster named James hurriedly raised the pistol snatched from Arthur and pointed it at him.

They shouted nervously: "Don't move around, or I'll fucking kill you!"

However, Arthur was not afraid of their actions. He nodded with a smile and said, "If you like, you can pull the trigger at any time. That is my gun. I know better than you whether there are bullets in it or not."

Hearing this, the gangster thought that Arthur was cheating him, and he pulled the trigger angrily, but instead of firing the bullet, it caused Fiona to scream.

"James, you bastard, do you want to kill me! My mother knows that you fool, you say you love me every day, but you are trying to trick me into sleeping with you. Fortunately, I didn't fall for your tricks, you dog Things, you'd better not let me see them in the future, or I'll poke your eyes with an umbrella!"

With things developing to this point, Arthur basically has nothing to worry about. As long as he doesn't have a gun, these gangsters are nothing to be afraid of.

He was looking for an opportunity to defeat them one by one, but at this moment there was a rush of footsteps on the stairs.

It was Tom and Tony who arrived late, and a group of plainclothes police officers in Greenwich District with police knives.

"Don't move, policeman!"

Under the deterrence of the police officers, the gangsters who were still arrogant just now lost their temper in an instant. They raised their hands on the wall one by one at the request of the police officers.

Tony ran up to Arthur with his head covered in sweat, and he panted, "Arthur, you... are you okay?"

Arthur said lightly: "It's okay, it doesn't matter if you slow down."

Tony breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words: "Oh, that's good...that's good..."

Arthur heard this, and continued: "Anyway, at most, I lost my life."

"what?!"

The police officers looked at each other when they heard the words, and Tom hurried up to explain: "Arthur, it's not that we lost, we were thinking... thinking... uh..."

Tony hurriedly reminded in a low voice beside him: "I want to make you have fun?"

Tom's eyes lit up, and he clapped his hands and said, "Yes, that's right, we want to make you have fun! Everyone thinks that you have been under a lot of pressure recently, so you should adjust it."

Arthur took a deep breath: "So, I have to thank you?"

Tom blushed, and said incoherently, "Then... that's not the case."

Arthur asked, "What is Clause 3(a) of Chapter [-] of Scotland Yard's housekeeping regulations?"

When Tom heard this, he almost subconsciously stood at attention and saluted, and reported: "Report, the police do not allow drinking, fighting, gambling, and whoring!"

Arthur pushed Fiona in his arms towards Tom: "Cuff them all to me and take them back. Besides, Tom, although you don't have a prostitute, you have a woman in your arms, so I suspect that you are suspected of engaging in sexual intercourse." Extramarital affairs. Regarding the details of this matter, I will truthfully tell Mrs. Tom in accordance with the management regulations and professional ethics as a policeman."
