America's Road to Wealth

Chapter 115 Going to Houston (910 please subscribe)



In the evening, Abel happily met with Little John and others.

Set off together to meet up with other farmers and specially hired professional hunters.

The rendezvous point was about twenty miles from Smith's farm.

It is said that the wolf pack was last seen by witnesses there.

Smith Farm, originally planned to send four people there.

Little John and his son, plus two other cowboys who were better at shooting.

Abel now wants to go together to see the scene, and there are more people going to Smith Farm.

It became Little John and his son, plus Abel, and Abel's four personal bodyguards.

A total of seven people, driving three vehicles and carrying an unknown number of weapons, headed to the meeting point.

I also brought four dogs, two Rottweilers and two Irish Wolfhounds.

Rottweilers are guard dogs and are not good at tracking prey.

Irish Wolfhounds are good at hunting wolves and cannot defeat Mexican wolves one on one.

But two of them can fight a Mexican wolf until the owner shows up.

Well, actually it still can’t defeat the larger Mexican wolf.

Except for a few over-sized individuals, there are no dogs that can actually compete with the Mexican wolf, a subspecies of the North American gray wolf.

The adult male wolf of this gray wolf subspecies can weigh more than 80 kilograms, and the alpha wolf is generally more than 90 kilograms.

Some individuals even have records of 100 kilograms.

The weight of an adult Caucasian male dog is about 70 kilograms.

Tibetan Mastiff is around 65-70 years old.

In the animal kingdom, being big is a dick.

What's more, they still work in groups, are very smart, and know how to work as a team.

Without relying on their owners, it would take more than one or two hundred large hounds to pose a threat to a Mexican wolf pack.

The main reason for taking dogs there is to use their sense of smell and keen hunting intuition to help spot wolves.

Humans are the last ones to take action, and they only play a supporting role.

At about ten o'clock in the evening, everyone drove off.

Abel's car was driven by Edward. He was a local and knew the road well.

Little John's son John IV is also here, as are two other Rottweilers.

The Rottweiler and Abel were riding in the back car together. The two Rottweilers were old dogs.

They were all fed by Abel when they were young, and they remember this owner.

They were very excited to find Abel in the carriage.

Haha~ Stop licking, stop licking. Danny, stop, no, stop! And Lowe, you too!!

The two dogs were so enthusiastic that Abel eventually had to use Alexander's slogan when he was tuning them.

Only then did they calm down and lie down on the seats obediently, leaning on him one on the left and one on the right.

Both dogs are very clean. When Abel was at home, he would give them a bath every two to three days.

Abel and Alexander are not at home now, so it is Emily who bathes them.

They happened to have all taken a bath today and were sprayed with animal perfume. There was no dog odor.

With one hand stroking a Rottweiler, Abel said casually:

By the way, Sis. What happened to the old Depp last time?

Abel still had a clear memory of a minor accident that happened halfway when he came back last time.

It was left to John IV to deal with it.

He thought about it now, so he asked.

I haven't seen him for a few days, but John IV still has that silly voice.

After you left, the police came. In the end, I paid Depp $50, and he left happily.

This result was not surprising to Abel.

Due to the strong folk customs, here in Texas.

A small traffic accident like this, or a small conflict.

The police in Texas can choose to keep it private as long as they don't go too far.

Because in this place, there are too many red necks at the bottom.

He is poor and has a bad temper. The key is that he is not educated yet.

Sometimes when your brain gets hot, you can take revenge afterwards.

The key is that guns are not banned and it is not illegal to take guns on the streets.

For this reason, the police in Texas are relatively friendly compared to other areas.

After chatting with John IV for a few more words, we arrived at the hunting rendezvous point.

When they arrived, many people had already arrived.

Twenty or thirty cars, forty or fifty people, dozens of dogs, even two police cars and some Texas police officers.

It's normal for the police to show up.

Otherwise, it would be so late and there would be so many people with guns and driving cars.

Those who know, know that they are going to hunt wolves.

People who don’t know, probably think it will be a political coup.

It's different when the police are with you.

And we can also do a little supervision and surveillance to prevent these people from shooting and killing indiscriminately.

After waiting for about half an hour, everyone arrived.

There are a total of fifteen farms nearby, gathering 55 cowboys with good marksmanship.

In addition to the five professional hunters invited, as well as the dogs brought by everyone.

It adds up to a mighty expedition, driving more than thirty vehicles and setting off under the leadership of professional hounds and hunters.

However, hunting wolves is not that simple. Sometimes it also involves luck.

One night, a few hours down.

The Druid Peak wolf pack that had been in the news was nowhere to be found.

Only two other small wolf packs and a few coyotes were found.

These unlucky ones have become scapegoats.

With enough firepower to fight a small offensive, they naturally rushed to the street.

At three o'clock in the middle of the night, the hunting had to stop.

Because I kept looking and chasing him, I went to the next county.

You can't go there unless informed in advance, otherwise it will be regarded as some kind of intrusion.

Maybe even take the bullet from the policeman next door.

Therefore, the hunting activity came to an end.

Everyone went back to their respective homes. Those who had wives went home to hug their wives, and those who didn't have wives went home to hug themselves.

Several people on the Smith farm, John Jr. and his son, had no harvest, but Abel had the biggest harvest.

He killed two Mexican wolves and three coyotes by himself.

Is Abel good at marksmanship?

No, it's because he has the ability to make money.

These unlucky guys had their legs broken or their ability to move due to the shooting skills of some sharpshooters and bodyguards.

Then Abel followed the hound to replenish the gun and captured the prey.

Therefore, it is false to say that he has good marksmanship, strong agility, and is a super soldier.

No matter how strong you are, can you be like Superman?

cannot? Then you are not as strong as a capitalist with the ability to make money!

Even though he is as strong as Superman, he often suffers defeat at the hands of capitalist Bateman.

By the time everyone returned to Smith Farm, it was already dark.

Abel didn't bother his parents, just found something to eat, and went to bed directly after eating.

It was noon when he woke up, and Alexander had already left to continue his great career in Fort Worth.

Abel had a meal with Emily and coaxed his mother for a while.

In the afternoon, his motorcade left Smith Farm directly.

The target is Houston.

Houston is in Harris County, Texas, which is the third largest county in the United States.

At the same time, this city is also the largest city in Texas and the fourth largest city in the United States.

It's about two hundred and seventy miles from Smith's Farm.

At this distance, you can go to Fort Worth-Dallas Airport and take a direct flight to one of the three airports in Houston.

But he suddenly wanted to see the scenery of Texas along the way.

Abel calculated the distance and it only took about four hours to drive.

If you can arrive before dark, just take the car and set off.

There were seven cars in total, including Abel and David Jones, as well as the bodyguard team.

The convoy of twenty-one people drove for more than four hours.

Before five o'clock in the afternoon, we arrived at the largest city in Texas.

It is the largest economic center on the Gulf Coast, and the city was named after Sam Houston, then the governor of the Republic of Texas.

Houston is world-famous for its energy (especially oil), aviation industry, and canals.

The Port of Houston is also the sixth largest port in the world and the busiest port in the United States. It ranks first in terms of foreign ship tonnage and ranks second regardless of nationality.

The Fortune 500 headquarters is second only to New York City, which shows the strength of Texas.

After arriving, Abel sent the convoy directly to the River Oaks community in downtown Houston.

His grandfather, Alex Smith, and grandmother, Arya Smith, lived here.

This community is a high-end neighborhood in Houston, surrounded by small villas in the city center.

When the convoy arrives,

It's already half past five in the afternoon.

When Abel's motorcade stopped near the door of his residence, Alex's bodyguard was startled.

Abel asked Edward to negotiate, and soon Alex's bodyguard confirmed that it was Abel who was here.

After making sure it was safe, Abel got out of the car.

As soon as he got off the car, he walked inside and shouted:

Dear Alex and Arya, my dear grandpa and grandma, your grandson is here!!

With such a loud movement at the door, Alex and Alya had of course already received a report from the bodyguards.

The old couple came out with smiles on their faces.

When they came out, they saw Abel walking into the courtyard.

Oh, here comes the little bastard. I hope you won't chop down your grandpa's tree this time! Alex said happily.

Haha~ Arya was also very happy to see her grandson arriving. Jacques, don't keep talking about this. Abel was still young at that time, and it was you who told the story.

The old couple were talking about something when Abel was about ten years old.

The Alexander family, come here to spend Christmas with your old father and mother.

On Christmas Eve night, a happy Alex told his grandson the story of the Falling Cherry Axe.

At that time, Abel took it seriously and ran up to chop down trees in the middle of the night.

As a result, he couldn't find a cherry tree, so he randomly picked one in the yard and chopped it down.

The next day, Alex and his wife saw their precious grandson pulling them to look at a small horticultural grade oak tree that had been brought into the living room.

Oh my God, that's the dwarf oak tree that Alex spent four thousand dollars to buy and plant.

What could Alex do?

Of course I forgive Abel.

It's just that this matter has been often used by the old guy to make fun of his grandson since then.

Faced with Alex’s teasing, Abel responded with a smile:

Ha~ I heard from my mother that grandpa, you planted a lot of black walnut trees. Since you said so, I'll see if they can withstand my Falling Cherry God Axe.

Alex suddenly changed his color. He spent tens of thousands of dollars on this last year.

A few specially selected black walnut trees of good quality and horticultural grade.

It has been planted for almost a year and it looks very beautiful in the yard.

The old man usually likes to drink tea and read books down there, but he can’t let Abel chop him down.

Alex quickly changed the topic: Ahem~ Okay, let's not mention these embarrassing things about your childhood. Come in. In addition, Anthony, go help Abel's entourage arrange parking and resting places.

Alex said the last sentence to his own bodyguard.

Anthony, the bodyguard whom Abel also knew, smiled and nodded and walked back.

Abel gestured to Edward to do as he was told.

Abel himself went into the house with his grandparents.

This house was built in 1947.

It was built by Alexander's grandfather when Alex decided to retire at the age of 60.

The old couple came to live here.

They occasionally go to Dallas to live for a while, but they live here at least three-quarters of the year.

This is also considered the best house in the city for the Smith family.

Abel remembered that the house covered an area of ​​about 30,000 square feet.

The building area is only over 5,000 square feet, and five-sixths of the land is devoted to courtyards, gardens, swimming pools, and the like.

In addition, Houston has the most advanced medical technology in the United States and is the number one medical city in the world. There is no better place to retire here.

The old couple were obviously very happy about their grandson's arrival.

When Abel came in, he already saw some of the things he loved to eat when he was a child on the table in the living room.

Don't believe that thing that Americans will be kicked out by their parents when they turn 18 and become self-reliant.

Americans gnaw at their old age, and Americans dote on their children and grandchildren.

The elite class, even more so.

Those who really need to be self-reliant when they turn eighteen are either low-class white people in the slums.

They really can't afford to raise or support their children.

Or it's Lao Mo and Lao Hei.

Lao Mo was okay, but generally he asked his children to go out and fight early because they were not capable enough.

As for Lao Hei, not having a father is almost the common denominator among this group of people in the United States.

The family is not complete, and the family basically depends on the mother's work or welfare subsidies.

If you don't fight on your own, are you going to wait for death at home?

The Smith family clearly belonged to the elite, although not the upper echelon.

But it's not bad in Texas, and the population has always been thin.

Alex has no brothers, but one sister. Alexander had no brothers, not even sisters.

Abel originally had an older brother, but he died at the age of two, and he had no other brothers or sisters.

For such an only child, all the love of the family was naturally devoted to him.

Maybe that's why Abel's original obsession with other aspects was not deep.

But he is very stubborn when it comes to his relatives, parents and elders.

So much so that when Abel merged with his original soul, he completely took over this piece.

This also makes Abel now have no grudge against the Alex couple and the Alexander couple.

What's more, he grew up in the Celestial Dynasty, where filial piety is the most important thing.

He also doesn’t think it’s wrong to be filial and have a good relationship with your parents and elders.

So it was very harmonious.

He soon had a warm and pleasant chat with Alex and his wife, whom he had not seen for a long time.
