America 1919-Chapter 390 - 166. Pandora Oil Company (10,000-word mega chapter, time to start paying off debts~)_5

Unlike many American veterans whose girlfriends or wives had been unfaithful while they were on the battlefield, Richard Hengkel’s wife did not do so. Furthermore, Richard Hengkel had a pair of beautiful and sensible children. Therefore, he was very grateful to Donnie Block for being able to earn a monthly salary of 300 US Dollars from him, which allowed for a better life for his family.

So he didn’t want to cause any trouble for Donnie Block’s business. Continue your adventure with novelbuddy

It was precisely because Kritch understood Richard Hengkel’s character that he arranged for him to partner with Pang Hawthorn.

"Their influence is not small, but is our boss’s influence small? They block us like this every time, when can our boss’s oil wells officially start working?

Not only do they obstruct us from bringing equipment in, but they also prevent the company’s oil trucks from getting out. Isn’t this just trying to directly ruin the boss’s business?"

Pang Hawthorn shouted loudly.

Richard Hengkel helplessly said, "Don’t worry, since the boss knows about this, I believe he must have a way to solve it. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have taken on the contract for these oil wells in the first place!"

Pang Hawthorn spat out the window before saying, "The boss must have thought of that; otherwise, he wouldn’t have sent us on this transportation mission. But the boss certainly didn’t expect those people to be so shameless, and to bring so many people!"

At this point, Pang Hawthorn even expressed his dissatisfaction, "The boss must have forgotten his experiences on the battlefield. In my opinion, even if the boss doesn’t want to cause trouble, just a command from him and us coming here in the dark would be enough to easily take out those people!"

"Hawthorn!" Richard Hengkel yelled, "Mind your status! Is the boss someone you can talk about like that?"

Pang Hawthorn spoke without much concern, "I’m worried for the boss. You and I, plus the three people behind us and the ten in the other two vehicles—with our combat skills, who can’t we take down?"

"You!" Richard Hengkel said helplessly, "Don’t worry about these things. Trust the boss, we just need to do our jobs well!"

Saying this, Richard Hengkel earnestly advised, "Hawthorn, now we work for the boss’s company, and we receive a good annual salary. You should forget the past and find a girl to start your own family with!"

Pang Hawthorn snorted coldly and stopped talking!

At this time, they arrived at the roadblock set up by Pan-American Oil.

A long wooden barricade blocked the path of the truck, where twenty black-clad men armed with automatic rifles stood guard. Upon seeing Pang Hawthorn’s truck, they immediately gestured to stop it!

Seeing the situation, Pang Hawthorn spat again, cursed under his breath, and stopped the truck.

"You stay in the truck and don’t do anything. I’ll go and negotiate with them!"

After advising Pang Hawthorn, Richard Hengkel got out of the truck with a smile and approached the other party.

He took a cigarette from his pocket, offered one to the other side, and asked with a smile, "Berg, how long do we have to wait this time?"

For Richard Hengkel, this situation was nothing new—he knew they would be held for two or three hours, delaying the work inside, and then they would be allowed to proceed.

As usual, the captain in charge, Bergweid, laughed after taking the cigarette and said, "We don’t know about that. Richard, you’ve been running this road not just since today. When our convoy passes, you can go!"

"Alright, we’ll wait then!"

After chatting with the other party for a few minutes, Richard Hengkel returned to the truck.

"It’s only for two or three hours. You’ve been driving a while too, so take a good rest!"

Richard Hengkel soothed Pang Hawthorn, then tapped on the rear window and called out to the people behind, "Alright, everyone take a break!"

The people behind were also accustomed to this kind of situation; they all leaned against the truck and started to rest with their eyes closed.

Minutes and seconds ticked away.

Two hours later, an oil truck from the other side of the roadblock came through, bearing the Pan-American Oil logo.

When the truck reached the roadblock, Bergweid had the barricade opened, and the opposing driver, seeing the stopped convoy, joked with Bergweid, "I envy these guys, getting to take a break, unlike us, working like fools every day!"

"I bet they’d envy us too!" Bergweid laughed proudly.

They both laughed loudly, and the Pan-American Oil truck left the area.

Seeing the Pan-American Oil truck depart, Richard Hengkel got out of the truck again, approached Bergweid, and smiled, "Berg, can we now...?"

Bergweid chuckled, "Richard, I’m afraid you can’t go yet. We still have oil trucks that haven’t come out. You’ll have to wait a little longer!"

Richard Hengkel frowned slightly; usually, after one convoy passed, they would be allowed through. This was the first time such a situation had occurred!

"Alright, we’ll wait. But next time, Berg, you can’t keep stopping us!" Richard Hengkel still decided to wait and see despite his doubt.
