“Strauss? That Austrian coward? Hearing the name, John’s face showed a look of disdain.

Or the majority of the gang.

Including Arthur and even Ducky.

There are some who look down on him.

Because he often lent usury to the cornered.

And let the people in the gang go and collect his debts.

The same plunder, but for those in gangs, they prefer to use guns.

At the same time, it does not like to rob the poor.

After all, they themselves are poor.

“Coward? Maybe? Chen Xu smiled.

It looks like Strauss is a coward who is afraid of death.

But Chen Xu knew that in fact, Strauss could be called a man.

In the past life game, Strauss is finally captured by Detective Pinkerton.

Even being tortured to death revealed nothing about other gang members.

Compared to Mai Gou, it is simply a high judgment.

“Strauss’s lenders were usually workers, or farmers.” Chen Xu diverted the topic and said towards John.

“Compared to this, it is more dignified to rob the bank’s money.” John couldn’t help but complain.

“John, think about it from an angle, the money in the bank is those rich capitalists, and if they suffer losses, they will only be exploited from the workers more intensely.” Chen Xu pressed the long hat he was wearing on his head.

“You’re sophistry.” John was unimpressed.

“I just want to say that robbing the rich doesn’t help the poor in the slightest.” Without anyone else, Chen Xu directly debunked the belief of the Van der Linde Gang all along.

Robbing the rich and helping the poor?

It’s just a fig leaf for the robbers to paint their own actions.

“Well, we’re going to try to be a capitalist too?” John said.

It’s a little ironic, but I don’t know why.

John had an expectation in his heart.

Everyone hates rich capitalists, but who doesn’t want to be a capitalist?

He hated it before, because he knew that he would never be able to achieve this kind of identity change in his lifetime.

But since the failed action in Blackwater Town, Chen Xu has made changes and made plans.

It was as if he saw that future beckoning towards him.

Just as he was impressed by the drawings described by Darch.

But the difference lies in the future described by Chen Xu.

It seems to be being realized little by little, no longer a castle-like existence in the air.

“Capitalists? Of course not, I think the term entrepreneur sounds better. Listening to John’s words, Chen Xu couldn’t help but smile slightly.

Before dark, the two men returned to the camp at the Horseshoe Lookout.

Bill and Javier guard the camp.

Ducky and Hosea are still looking for ways to sell bonds.

As for Arthur, he still hasn’t returned.

After greeting the people in the camp, Chen Xu and John walked directly towards Strauss, who was sitting in front of the cliff and was settling accounts.

“Looking at your ledger again?” Chen Xu walked towards Strauss.

“You know, people love to borrow money from people like me, of course… They are more keen to pay back money to people like you. Strauss looked at Chen Xu, who took the initiative to talk to him, and was a little surprised.

Always following the gang, relying on Arthur and these ruthless people to collect their own bills.

Strauss wasn’t stupid, and he certainly knew that many people in the gang actually hated him very much.

But neither he nor the gang can actually do without each other.

The gang needs a large amount of income from his loans, and he also needs to use the gang’s force to help him collect his debts.

“If you have time, can you go and help me recover the debt I released?” Strauss opened his ledger and said to Chen Xu and John behind him.

“Who are they?” Chen Xu did not directly agree and asked rhetorically.

“Chick Matthews, who works at Gasri Farm, as far as I know he is a helper.”

“Mr. Robert, a Polish immigrant who runs a small farm in Symphony Sky, but… Poor. ”

“Miss Lily Milley is a ranch maid at Emerald Ranch.”

Strauss wrote the collector’s information and location on a small note.

“If we have time, we will.” Chen Xu turned out to be a small note.

As for John next to him, he frowned tightly and said sarcastically: “This is how we help the people, it’s ridiculous.”

Thinking about what Ducky had said, John suddenly felt full of irony.

“These things are legal, Mr. Marston, people who owe money go to federal jail, and we’re here to help them.”

“Be restrained when collecting debts in the end, don’t kill them, it’s not good for business.” Strauss shrugged his shoulders and looked down again at the camp’s spending accounts.

After chatting with Abigail and Jack, John came to Chen Xu’s side.

“So, we’re going to collect the debt for Strauss next?” John had some reluctance.

“No, it’s to inspect our stronghold.”
