009 Please bear with me (additional update for brother zl37’s 10,000 rewards)
Excluding the Boers and Indians, this was the first time in his entire life that Rock had clearly felt hostility from others.
Yes, Arnold did not hide his hostility towards Rock at all.
Rock is 1.80 meters tall, and Arnold's height is estimated to be about 1.85 meters.
Rock didn't know how much Arnold weighed, but he must have weighed more than 185 by visual inspection. Therefore, Arnold had a big fist and wore two rings with gems on his fingers. Such rings are usually for decoration, but
In a fight, its use is similar to that of finger pointing.
Rock's psychological quality is also very good. Seeing the fist as big as a casserole hitting his face with the sound of wind, what Rock was thinking in his heart was
I will buy a few rings like this later and wear them myself.
The ring should also be set with a palm-sized gemstone with a sharp point on it. When worn on the hand, it looks like a shield. It must be very interesting during a fight!
This is a good idea, but Rock doesn't want to think about it. He is a police chief. How many people dare to punch Rock?
In fact, there is. No, there is one in front of Roque.
There’s a lot of drama!
Although Rock has not had many opportunities to fight in the past two years, he comes from a boxer family and has rich experience in fighting.
So facing the flying fist, Rock only turned his body sideways and took a small step back, and Arnold's fist missed.
If Rock wanted to fight back at this time, Arnold's ribs would already have a large gap exposed. Rock could easily punch Arnold's ribs and break them.
Of course, I can only think about it. Henry has two brothers, Owen is one of them, and Arnold is probably the other.
Therefore, Roque will definitely not fight back unless absolutely necessary.
It's definitely not the last resort yet. Arnold probably saw Rock and Phyllis acting intimately, so he punched Rock.
Well, any brother or father who sees his sister or daughter being treated like a pig will probably have this urge.
So Rock understands.
The punch failed, and Arnold not only failed to calm down, but became even more angry.
Arnold must have practiced boxing. One punch missed, and then another punch came, still shouting: "Don't move!"
Do not move?!!!
Is Rock a fool?!!!
Rock ducked to the right this time.
There is a flower bed on the right side of the road.
Arnold obviously didn't notice.
As he stepped forward, he kicked the flower bed.
"Fuck!" Arnold screamed, losing his balance and falling heavily to the ground.
"careful!"
"careful!"
At the same time that Arnold fell, Owen and Phyllis were both shouting "Be careful", but they were probably concerned about different objects. Owen was worried about Arnold and Phyllis.
I think Arnold would be very sad.
When Arnold fell, Rock actually had the opportunity to hold Arnold up.
But Rock didn't reach out and let Arnold fall to the ground.
Just kidding, as the chief of the Johannesburg Police Department, Rock is also a person of status in Johannesburg. Even if Arnold has a baron mayor father, Rock is not someone that Arnold can bully casually. This is not a direct counterattack by Rock, but by Arnold.
He fell to the ground, even if the Baron Mayor was in front of him, Roque still had a clear conscience.
Because Rock didn't reach out, Arnold fell badly. When he slipped, he hit his head on another flower bed. Fortunately, Arnold's head was relatively strong. The flower bed was broken, but Arnold's head was not broken.
When he fell, Arnold's pants were also torn, revealing a long, hairy leg.
Rock felt like he was going to get corns.
When he fell, Rock didn't need to help him, which meant that Rock's reaction speed was not fast enough. After falling, Rock immediately became very active.
So when Arnold fell, Rock immediately stretched out his hand: "Be careful, be careful."
It's a pity that it's still just a show of support.
Irving probably didn't notice. While supporting Arnold, he urged Rock: "I'm sorry Rock, can you please go first?"
Oops, you still need to use "please" at this time, it's really a dragon giving birth to nine sons.
"Let's go, let's go." Phyllis was also urging Roark, but it was obvious that she couldn't leave with Roark at this moment.
"Okay, sorry Phyllis, sorry Owen, I'll explain to Arnold later." Rock also wanted to leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible.
"Goodbye Locke" Phyllis is affectionate.
Owen just waved his hand, and Arnold was a little dizzy, so he probably needed to call a doctor.
While Rock was away from Johannesburg, the police station had been relocated, and he finally no longer had to live in a hotel.
The new police station occupies a huge area and is magnificent. In front of the office building is a garden, and behind it is a dormitory area surrounded by bigster trees. Next to the dormitory area is a playground, and opposite the playground are stables. The stables are now full of military horses, because
There are so many that the area of the stables is about the same as that of the dormitory area.
To take care of these military horses, Johannesburg hired more than 50 grooms.
Rock's office is on the second floor of the office building. The height of the office building is about ten meters, but there are only two floors. The height of the second floor is higher than that of the first floor, so Rock's office is particularly spacious and bright.
Christian is very attentive to his work. When decorating the office, he did not use things like gold foil. The color of the furniture is in harmony with the carpet and wallpaper. It is thick maroon and beige. The sofa next to the balcony is dark gray.
It's like the police always give people the impression of being cold and violent.
The overall decoration style of the room is quite in line with Rock's aesthetics. Rock did not have a row of bookshelves on the wall in an arty manner. He just hung a Gothic caged infantry sword and a Napoleon on the wall.
Rifled flintlock musket of the era.
Decorating with these things is very consistent with Rock's identity.
"Baron Philip arrived in Johannesburg the day before yesterday. Yesterday afternoon, Mr. Arnold went to the Matilda Gold Mine. He asked about some management regulations of the gold mine. Before leaving, he also took away some financial accounts, but there was no
Express your opinion." Sam's expression was calm, but there was worry in his eyes.
Rock indeed ignored this problem and only thought about the benefits of Henry's father being the mayor, but did not think about the troubles that would come with it.
When Philip Matilda did not come to Johannesburg, with the relationship between Roque and Henry, Roque could dominate the Matilda gold mine without Henry interfering.
Roque has a good relationship with Henry, but he has never dealt with Henry's brother, and the gold mine is now under the banner of Matilda, so
It seems that Irving doesn't care much about these businesses, but Arnold cares a lot. If Arnold doesn't give in, it shouldn't have any impact on Rock's plan, but if Arnold thinks that as the eldest son of the Matilda family,
, if you want to interfere in the Matilda family's family business, you will be in trouble next time.
Rock reached for the phone and wanted to call Henry. He just dialed a number. Rock thought about it and put the phone back.
"Don't worry about Mr. Arnold. If he wants money, you can give it to him, but if Mr. Arnold wants to interfere in the management of the mine, then call me." Rock doesn't want to cause trouble. If Arnold doesn't go too far, then Rock will
Meet Arnold's requirements to a certain extent.
"Okay." Sam said without hesitation.
"You don't have to worry about dividends, just keep the accounts properly." Rock must still reassure Sam. What professional managers like Sam fear most is something happening to shareholders.
When leaving Rock's office, Sam finally looked a little smiling.
As Roque expected, the Governor-General quickly issued a commendation order to the Johannesburg Police Department and Roque himself.
There are two copies in total, one for the Johannesburg Police Department and one for Roque himself.
Along with the commendation order, there is also a commendation order bonus of 400 pounds.
That's all.
If it were in the past, if so many guerrillas were killed, someone would definitely win the first prize.
Now this award has been cancelled, because Rock and the others are police, and destroying the guerrillas is part of the police's job.
In fact, that's not the case. Dealing with the guerrillas is the task of the regular army, and maintaining law and order is the job of the police, so Rock will call Henry later to try to persuade him.
Of course, the bonus must be paid before calling.
Rock will definitely not care about this bonus now. With a stroke of his pen, all the bonuses will be distributed to the commandos and gangsters.
In fact, it's not much. To an ordinary police officer, 400 pounds may seem like a lot, but if hundreds of people share it together, one person can't share much.
Roque was never stingy in this regard, so he took out another 1,600 pounds from the remaining police station construction funds and distributed them as bonuses.
This is a bit of a bonus.
Before Rock called Henry, Henry called him first.
"Locke, if, I mean if, Arnold please bear with me." It seems that Henry also knows what kind of virtue Arnold is.
"I understand." Rock said concisely and to the point. Arnold was probably just like those "naughty kids". What else could he do if he didn't understand?
If Arnold is deliberately looking for trouble, is it because of Arnold that Rock will fall out with Henry?
It's impossible. Not to mention the strong relationship between Rock and Henry, Henry's father would not allow Arnold to do that.
Henry's father must also be very clear about the virtues of his son. The reason why Roque and Henry have such a strong relationship is ultimately because Roque can bring benefits to Henry. Henry's father will not know this, so,
Henry's father would not let Arnold cause trouble for Roark. If Arnold did this, it would be the interests of the Matilda family that would ultimately be harmed.
Of course, if Henry's father comes to trouble, although Henry's father probably won't wear small shoes for Rock, he will inevitably have prejudices against Rock.
The maintenance of interpersonal relationships is also a manifestation of ability.
