Of course, Su Xiu had a gun.
Bill had given him one before, and it was now lying in his storage bag.
He could use it at any time to catch the enemy off guard.
Although he couldn't guarantee his marksmanship, he had no problem shooting.
At the very least, he wouldn't be so stupid that he couldn't even open the safety.
But no matter what, he only had one gun, and it was not enough to protect himself.
However, fighting alone had no future.
Handsome once said-
Are you good at fighting? What's the use of knowing how to fight? You have to have power and background to come out and mingle.
Then, the problem came.
Su Xiu was not lacking in background.
A large number of nobles were counting on him to treat them. It was not difficult for Su Xiu to borrow their background.
At the very least, there was Cecilia.
This tsundere young lady had already been fooled by Su Xiu.
Even if Su Xiu sold her one day, she would still have to count the money for him.
However, background could be borrowed, but influence could not.
Therefore, Su Xiu had to nurture his own forces.
The three Shelby brothers who had delivered themselves to him were the first step in his cultivation of power.
The first step was to have someone, and this step had already been achieved.
The second step was to have a gun.
Su Xiu found it difficult to handle this step on his own, so he needed help.
For example, Frank.
"You want a gun?"
When Frank heard Su Xiu's words, he said directly," What gun do you want? How much do you want?"
"As expected."
Su Xiu's lips curled up slightly.
Actually, from the beginning, he could tell that Frank's identity was not simple.
The calluses on his palms were obviously caused by using guns all year round.
In addition, when he faced Tommy and the other two, his skillful movement of touching the gun proved this point.
If it was just one or two guns.
Su Xiu could have told Bill to do it.
But this time, he wanted a batch of firearms.
So-
"How much do you have?"
Su Xiu asked directly.
"I only have one gun."
Frank slowly took out a pistol from his pocket. It was a Browning M1900 of the same model as Su Xiu. He immediately changed the topic." However, I have a friend who should be able to meet your requirements.”
"Thanks, Frank."
Su Xiu smiled. This was the effect of connections.
If his superpower wasn't to double pass through the door, but to simply travel to 1909.
If that was the case, he would not have been able to go as smoothly as he was now.
First of all, he would not have a watch to exchange for 140,000 pounds, and he would not have known Bill.
Nor would he have enough money to buy a house in piccadilly and a manor on the outskirts of London that spanned 1,200 acres.
Based on the same logic, he could not cure Bill's rabies without penicillin.
Hence, he could not get to know Adrian and the other young nobles through his recommendation.
Without the hemostatic powder, Frank wouldn't even look at him, much less give his daughter to him as a maid.
He had just transmigrated and had nothing, so it was most likely that he was like the three Shelby brothers.
He had mixed in with the street gangs and then relied on his foresight and some small cleverness to climb up from the bottom step by step.
However, this would require a large amount of time, and the process would be extremely dangerous. It was even possible that the previous emperor would die halfway through his career.
Fortunately, there were no ifs in reality.
Tommy didn't let Su Xiu wait too long.
Less than an hour had passed.
He and Arthur returned to the dining room.
There was also a rented carriage with their luggage and family members on it.
"Sir."
Tommy walked into the dining room and placed the money in his hand on the table. He said meticulously," The cost of renting the carriage is two shillings. This is the remaining eighteen shillings.”
Su Xiu glanced at Tommy, but he didn't take the money. He looked past Tommy to the two women behind him.
There was an elderly middle-aged woman and a young girl.
"That's my aunt, Polly Gray, and my sister, Ada Shelby.”
" They're our only family." Tommy quickly introduced them.”
"Did you bring your family along?”
Frank was slightly surprised and couldn't help but look at Tommy.
He was originally quite dissatisfied with Su Xiu's intention to take the three of them under his control.
It was not for Su Xiu, but for these three people.
In his opinion, these three street hooligans were not qualified to be recruited by Su Xiu.
If he really wanted guards, he could hire professionals.
However, the three of them clearly did not fit this description.
With Frank's understanding of these street thugs, he felt that once their brother Finn recovered, the three brothers would immediately think of a way to escape.
It was impossible to pay back the money. He could only rely on deception to maintain his life.
But now, not only did the other party not have any intention of running away, but he had also brought his sister and aunt over.
Of course, he didn't want his whole family to stay here.
Instead, he took the initiative to leave his sister and aunt with Su Xiu as hostages.
This was quite common in Europe.
Even if it was a gang, in order to prevent their subordinates from betraying them.
Gang leaders usually take care of their families.
On the one hand, it was to appease the people, and on the other hand, it was to prevent his subordinates from rebelling.
After all, even if they were not loyal to their boss, they had to consider their families before betraying him.
Now that Tommy had taken the initiative to send his aunt and sister to his door, this was undoubtedly an extremely smart move.
On one hand, it was to show that he would never betray Su Xiu.
On the other hand, he was also very clear.
As long as he did not betray them, his aunt and sister would definitely be able to live a better life here.
"You are indeed very smart."
Frank thought of Su Xiu's evaluation of Tommy and nodded silently.
He took back his words.
Although they were just a few hooligans, they were still qualified to be recruited.
"Take it."
Su Xiu glanced at Tommy and suddenly took out ten pounds from his pocket and placed it on the table.
"Sir…"
Tommy was stunned for a moment and looked at Su Xiu in confusion.
"Use your own money to buy a set of clothes.”
Su Xiu said indifferently.
Although the three of them were dressed well-
Suits and coats were readily available.
However, he could see the traces of repair on it at a glance. It was obvious that their clothes were second-hand.
In the past, it didn't matter, but now that they were working under Su Xiu, it was a big deal.
Naturally, it couldn't be so shabby.
"Yes, sir."
Tommy was silent for a moment and put the money away.
At the same time, he heaved a sigh of relief.
This should be considered the initial recognition, right?
"Frank."
Su Xiu turned his gaze to Frank and suddenly asked with a smile," You seem to have two waiters in your shop?”
"Although I can handle it alone, it's not impossible to have one more person to help.”
Frank saw what he meant and shrugged.
"Not one, but two."
Su Xiu corrected him.
"Oh?"
Frank was a little surprised. He thought Su Xiu would let the little girl go to his house as a maid.
If Su Xiu knew what he was thinking, he would probably scoff.
He did not want just anyone.
Otherwise, Leah would not have been his only true maid.
It was not because there were no other applicants.
It was because he didn't like it.
