"Tommy!"
Arthur and John looked at Tommy, who was kneeling on one knee, in disbelief.
In Western society, kneeling on one knee had always had a special meaning.
In religious culture, kneeling on one knee represented piety and respect.
However, they did not believe in Jesus, so they naturally did not care about this.
On the other hand, in the Western knight culture, kneeling on one knee represented glory and loyalty to the monarch.
In the eyes of the Europeans, other than God, there were only two kinds of people worthy of kneeling on one knee.
One was the woman he wanted to propose to, and the other was the master he wanted to serve.
Even the most treacherous villain would not kneel on one knee so easily!
"It seems that you have made your choice.”
Su Xiu was not surprised by Tommy's kneeling. Instead, he looked at the other two." Then, what about you?”
“……”
Arthur and John fell silent, but Arthur quickly gritted his teeth and knelt on one knee.
At this point, John no longer hesitated.
The three brothers knelt in a row and lowered their heads.
"I will be loyal to you!"
"Very good."
Su Xiu's eyes were filled with satisfaction." Get up. I'm from China. We don't do this.”
Tommy and his two brothers stood up in silence.
"I will continue to treat Finn's illness.”
Su Xiu slowly said," But as a medical fee, the three of you will be my guards from now on.”
"No problem, sir."
Tommy breathed a sigh of relief.
Although he looked normal.
But in a place where no one could see, the shirt under his coat was already drenched in sweat.
He knew that this was a huge gamble.
4,000 pounds was definitely a huge sum of money that they could not repay.
With their current weekly salary, even if the three brothers worked together to pay off their debts, it would still take a full 26 years.
This was under the condition that they did not eat or drink.
But in fact, their weekly salary could barely ensure their food and clothing.
If he really wanted to rely on his wages to pay off his debts, he might not even be able to pay them off in sixty-two years, let alone twenty-six years!
However, it was impossible to renege on the debt.
Although that Mister Su was from China, his identity was not ordinary.
Just his identity as a divine doctor was enough to make a large number of nobles beg him to treat their illnesses.
If the three of them dared to go back on their word, the other party could definitely easily send the three of them to prison.
If the other party was a little more ruthless, they could also directly sink them into the Thames River.
Therefore…
The only way was to show his worth to the other party and make the other party recognize his worth.
Only then would they have a chance of survival.
Moreover…
They were just a few hooligans with rotten lives.
Being able to become Mister Su's guard was also an opportunity for them.
"Relax."
Su Xiu smiled and waved at the three nervous people." Then, let's talk about the salary first.”
Although Su Xiu told them to relax, the three brothers immediately became nervous again.
"The first three months is a probation period."
Su Xiu pondered for a while and slowly said," I'll give each of you a weekly salary of 25 shillings during the probation period. After you pass the three-month probation period, your weekly salary will be thirty shillings. Is that okay?”
"No problem at all, sir."
Tommy's expression changed, and Arthur said excitedly.
They're out in the rain at the docks for eighteen shillings a week.
But now, being a bodyguard could earn him twenty-five shillings or even thirty shillings!
This was their dream job!
"Ugly first."
Su Xiu knocked on the table and said leisurely," This money is not so easy to get.”
"We understand, sir."
Tommy Shelby said solemnly.
He knew very well what the guards needed to do.
The most important thing was to protect the employer's safety.
This meant that if there was really danger, they would have to take bullets for their employer.
But even so, it was still much better than looking at the warehouse at the dock.
After all, there was more than one gang in London. Since they wanted to look at the warehouse, there would naturally be people robbing the warehouse.
If they really fought, people would die.
Being a bodyguard was undoubtedly much better than being a gangster.
"It's best if Finn stays here for the time being.”
Su Xiu saw that the three of them didn't seem to be rejecting him, so he continued," Although his fever has subsided, his illness may recur. It's best to stay and observe him for a period of time.”
After a pause, Su Xiu continued," Of course, I have no objections if you want to bring him back. But if anything happens, it has nothing to do with me.”
"No problem."
Tommy heaved a sigh of relief.
He knew that the patient needed to stay in the hospital for observation.
If he forcefully brought Finn back, would the follow-up treatment still be carried out?
"When can you start working?”
Su Xiu nodded slightly and asked.
"Anytime."
Tommy said seriously.
"Is that so?"
Su Xiu frowned slightly.
Although it was a good thing that they could start work as soon as possible.
However, he had no place for them to stay.
There were still spare rooms in the house, but it was a house full of girls.
It was obviously inconvenient for the three brothers to stay there.
"Then,"
Frank seemed to have noticed Su Xiu's dilemma and suddenly said," You guys can stay here for now. You can also help take care of Little Finn. Of course, that is if you don't mind.”
"Of course not."
Arthur was instantly extremely grateful." Thank you for your generosity, sir!”
They were not qualified to stay here.
Now that Frank was willing to let them stay temporarily, they naturally wouldn't refuse.
"Then you guys go back and pack up.”
Su Xiu's brows relaxed when he saw this. He immediately said," Bring the luggage over."”
"Yes, sir."
Tommy Shelby nodded and looked at his brother casually." John, stay and take care of Finn. Arthur and I will go back and bring the things over.”
"Alright."
John nodded and didn't think too much about it.
Seeing this, Tommy also prepared to leave. After all, the sky was getting dark.
He needed to rush over and bring the luggage over before dark.
"Wait a minute."
Su Xiu suddenly called out to him.
"Sir."
Tommy turned around, a little nervous, not knowing what he had done wrong.
"Go rent a carriage."
Su Xiu took out a pound and placed it on the table." Don't make it too shabby," he said casually.”
"Thank you, sir."
After a moment of silence, Tommy took the money and left with his brother Arthur.
"Frank."
Su Xiu watched the two of them leave and suddenly said," Can you help me get a batch of guns?”
