Chapter 526 The Secret of Lee Dutton
We had lunch at the old chief's house.
Keith's future mother-in-law warmly entertained the two and prepared a lot of delicious food.
Keith was a little reserved, but Luke was very relaxed.
Luke had chosen all these gifts.
Monica's mother was naturally happy to receive so many gifts.
And the reservation is right next to Old John's ranch.
The two families have had dealings with each other.
It’s just that Indians’ rejection of white people has existed since ancient times.
So Monica's two brothers were a little unfriendly to Keith.
But Luke was different, they knew that Luke was of Chinese descent.
Mr. Qin looks similar to them, so he is naturally close to Luke.
But this time Luke brought a lot of gifts that really suited the old chief's taste.
A box of tobacco leaves, a specialty of the Undersea City. This stuff can’t be bought even if you have money.
Generally, finished cigarettes and cigars are supplied.
But this tobacco leaf is not available for purchase.
Not only that, there are also pipes made in China, the kind that are very long.
Indians love to smoke, and they love to smoke dry tobacco.
The gifts given to the chief's wife were a set of skin care products and some Chinese ethnic silver jewelry.
There is also a piece for Monica, but the styles of the accessories are different between mother and daughter.
And of course the latest mobile phones.
Luke, Monica's two older brothers, gave each of them a folding hunting knife.
The Indians love their weapons more than their pipes.
After receiving the gifts, the two couldn't let go.
Even the way he looked at Keith became friendlier.
During the meal, both sides had a very happy chat.
After dinner, Luke accompanied the old chief to try out new tobacco leaves.
Monica's two brothers also came over to try it out.
Indian women also like tobacco.
The whole family was smoking in the living room.
This is also what the adults did intentionally.
Leaving space for the two young people, Keith and Monica.
The old chief came to see Luke this time because he had heard about the high-tech prosthetic limbs developed by the Stark Group.
He had an old friend on a reservation in Washington State.
He is also a chief, but due to an accident, his legs are disabled.
So he wanted to ask Luke to see if he could help his old friend stand up again with the help of prosthetic limbs.
This tribe is not on the Qin family's cooperation list, but there are many tribes that have friendly relations with them.
They would trade with this tribe and indirectly help them improve their living standards.
Therefore, he can be considered as half a partner of the Qin family.
The old chief and the chief of this tribe were good friends, so he wanted to help his old friend.
Luke didn't agree, but he didn't refuse either.
Just asked some questions.
"I can just ask someone to pick him up in Los Angeles. Why do you want me to go there in person?"
The old chief gave a mysterious smile.
"Their tribe is somewhat special. There are many such tribes among the Indians. They are unwilling to leave the reservation, and they don't want outsiders to disturb them."
"But your family is an exception. If you send someone, they won't be able to enter the reservation even if I say hello."
Luke didn't think much of it.
Many ancient tribes have some traditions.
They are very hostile to white people and the federal government.
But like the old chief said.
The only friends of the North American Indians are the Qin family.
Luke is a member of the Qin family, so there is no problem for him to go in person, but it is not the same for others.
Finally, Luke agreed to the old chief's request and decided to go and see as soon as possible.
Before leaving, the old chief told Luke that although they did not reject Luke, they hoped that Luke would not bring too many people with him.
Luke expressed his understanding that when going to someone else's territory, one should at least abide by some of their traditions.
The old chief took out a wolf tooth necklace and handed it to Luke.
"When you see Billy, show him this necklace and he'll understand."
After bidding farewell to the old chief, Luke left with Keith reluctantly.
Back at Old John's house, Evelyn quietly asked Luke about it.
"How is it? Is there any hope for this kid Keith?"
"I think the relationship between the two is very good, but her family may not agree. But it doesn't matter. The old chief and his wife don't seem to object. It's just that Monica's two brothers are not very friendly to Keith."
Evelyn sighed.
"It's all Lip's fault..."
Luke asked Evelyn curiously.
It turned out that they were about the same age as Lip and could be seen quite often in the small town.
Once, they drank too much in a bar in the small town and got into a conflict.
However, Lip was well educated by Luke. He was tall and strong, as strong as a bull.
Monica's two brothers actually lost to Lip alone.
Then the feud was formed.
Luke was at a loss whether to laugh or cry after finding out.
"It's okay. We're a family from now on. I'll organize a party some other day. We'll have some barbecue and some drinks. If one meal doesn't work, we'll have two."
Evelyn handed the matter over to Luke with a smile.
In the evening, old John's eldest son Lee would come.
He is now a livestock police officer in Montana, with the rank of sheriff.
Li is still taciturn at home, but not outside.
Old John's tyranny still left a psychological shadow on Li.
But the relationship with Evelyn is better.
The old couple are no longer worried about Li’s personality, but are starting to worry about his marriage.
Their standards for choosing a partner for Li have been lowered to the point that as long as he is not a man, it's fine.
The reason Li came back this time was to talk to Old John about transferring back to the small town to be a police officer.
Old John had never agreed to Lee's request because he wanted to control the livestock police, a non-military armed force.
Luke talked with Li in private, and Li and Luke, the eldest brother, have a very good relationship.
To Luke's surprise, Lee actually fell in love with Dr. Tynerbaum...
Luke was so shocked that he almost spit out his beer...
Don’t be fooled by the fact that Dr. Tenabam looks like a 30-year-old young woman, that’s because Luke gave them some cheats.
The enhanced version of Save Your Life 250 can restore their youth and delay aging.
Dr. Tanabam is about the same age as Evelyn...
But Li was still a little shy.
He also didn't know what Dr. Tenabam's attitude towards him was.
Luke thought about it and comforted him.
"When I return from Washington and complete the old chief's commission, I'll ask her for you."
After getting Luke's promise, Li also smiled happily.
“Brother, don’t tell Evelin and the others yet, we are still not sure about this matter…”
"Don't worry, I understand."
The next morning, Luke drove off with some gifts.
Roadblock's skin this time is relatively low-key, it's a Dodge pickup truck, but the largest one...
On the way, Luke looked at the scenery outside the window helplessly.
"Didn't I tell you to keep a low profile? What are you going to do with this 5-ton giant?"
"Isn't this what farmers use to transport goods? I think it's very low-key."
"Do you want to experience what it's like to be Optimus Prime?"
"No, this is definitely a misunderstanding. It's your illusion..."
The two chatted and laughed as they drove to the westernmost part of Washington State, a small town not far from the sea, the town of Forks.
This town is not very big, and it looks like there are only a few thousand people.
As soon as it entered the town, this Dodge pickup truck, comparable to the Ford F650, attracted the attention of passers-by in the town.
Soon, a police car arrived next to them.
Luke stopped the car, rolled down the window and asked the sheriff who got out of the police car:
"Hey, Sheriff, I'm here to see Chief Billy Black of the reservation."
"Hello, I'm Charlie Swan, the sheriff of Forks. I'm going to his place too. Come with me and I'll take you there."
"Okay. Thank you."
