Chapter 993: The Sheriff Pursuing Justice

On the scorching firewood, a corpse was burning.

With tobacco rolled in his hand, Zhang Cheng picked up a piece of firewood with a leisurely expression.

As the bright moonlight spilled onto his face, half of his features remained hidden in the darkness.

"Sheriff, may I ask, what is this thing?"

Looking at Zhang Cheng in terror, Tristan's eyes were filled with disbelief.

"Just as I said, this is a vampire!"

Revealing a smile, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

"Damn it, does such a thing really exist?"

Looking at Zhang Cheng in disbelief, Luo Sai, who was standing to the side, became shocked.

"Why wouldn't it exist? Did you think Dracula was a joke?"

Revealing a smile, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but shrug his shoulders to explain.

After hearing Zhang Cheng's words, Luo Sai and Tristan could only gulp and say, "My God!"

"If you turn into this kind of monster, God won't come to save your souls! But I will."

Looking at the two people beside him with a smile, Zhang Cheng hoisted his double-barreled shotgun and turned around, saying, "Let's go. He will find salvation in the flames, provided he has a soul!"

Returning to the town, Zhang Cheng dispatched deputies to begin patrolling.

Having experienced the vampire attack, Tristan finally understood that this world was far from as simple as he had imagined.

However, on this day, Luo Sai, who had rushed back from outside, spoke up: "Sheriff, three strange fellows have arrived in town!"

"Strange? How strange? Two heads, or three heads?"

Speaking with a calm face, Zhang Cheng asked while assembling a revolver.

"Two men and a girl. They seem to be here to hunt down Tang Mu Chaney!"

Explaining to Zhang Cheng, Luo Sai began to speak.

Upon hearing Luo Sai's words, Zhang Cheng frowned and said, "Tang Mu Chaney, is that the piece of trash?"

Hearing Luo Sai say this, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but inquire further.

"That's right, that's him!"

Speaking to Zhang Cheng, Luo Sai became serious.

"It seems we have work to do!"

Standing up, Zhang Cheng quickly placed the revolver at his waist.

Inside the tavern,

The few people eating were still discussing the matter of Tang Mu Chaney, but at this moment, a group of people walked in from outside the door.

Turning his head to look at this scene, Rooster Cogburn said in surprise, "It looks like trouble has come knocking!"

【True Grit!】

Hearing Rooster's words, LaBoeuf, who had just joined the team, was also full of confusion.

And just at this moment, Zhang Cheng sat on a chair with a bold and unconstrained posture and said, "Welcome to my town. Let me introduce myself; my name is Zhang Cheng—the 'Cheng' of integrity and honesty!"

"Nobody cares what your name is!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng beside him, Rooster spoke with a helpless expression.

Hearing his words, Zhang Cheng sneered, "You come to my turf to catch someone, and then tell me nobody cares? Do you take me for a fool?"

"We came here mainly because of your dereliction of duty, allowing those guys from the Lucky Gang to be so arrogant!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng beside him, Rooster became serious.

Glancing at Rooster, Zhang Cheng tilted his head and said, "Did no one tell him that I just took office?"

"Just took office? Who are you?"

Looking at Zhang Cheng beside him, Rooster finally recognized that this person was definitely not "Little Bill."

"Sorry, he drinks too much sometimes!"

Looking at the cowboys beside Zhang Cheng, Mattie explained awkwardly.

"You want to catch Chaney? How about you let me join in?"

Speaking with a smile on his face, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but explain.

"Why?"

Looking at Zhang Cheng suspiciously, LaBoeuf was surprised.

"That guy killed an innocent traveler in my town two days ago, so I want to hang him on the railing outside!"

Speaking to the crowd, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but smile.

Hearing Zhang Cheng's words, Mattie looked outside and indeed saw a very tall railing, which seemed to have been prepared for certain people.

"Sorry, I refuse. I am taking him back to Texas!"

Speaking to Zhang Cheng, LaBoeuf, who was beside him, became serious.

"Texas Rangers, right? I know who you are!"

Looking at LaBoeuf's attire, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but smile.

As Texas, a place that produced rednecks and reckless men, even though their history since joining the United States was short, they were the first to establish state police.

Among them, the most famous were the Texas Rangers, who solved many shocking major cases and gradually evolved into elite detectives later on.

"I won't pay you any reward!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng, Mattie spoke with a serious expression.

"I don't need a reward; I'm just pursuing justice!"

Looking at everyone with a smile on his face, Zhang Cheng's words immediately made the cowboys behind him laugh.

Because Zhang Cheng's pursuit of Chaney was not only because he killed a traveler, but also because the Lucky Gang guys were the main culprits in the train robbery last time!

Zhang Cheng didn't have much money left in his hands now, so he had to find a way to make money as soon as possible.

As a neighbor next door, Ned of the Lucky Gang naturally became Zhang Cheng's target.

After all, the neighbor hoards grain, and he hoards guns; the neighbor is his granary!

Under the strong refusal of LaBoeuf and Rooster, Mattie finally let Zhang Cheng join the team; after all, there is strength in numbers.

However, Zhang Cheng did not lead all the cowboys to join, but chose Luo Sai and Tristan instead.

After all, they were just a group of robbers; Zhang Cheng didn't take them to heart at all.

The next day, heading toward the Indian reservation, everyone was lost in thought.

LaBoeuf and Rooster were considering the money issue, while Mattie was thinking that her great revenge was about to be avenged.

Rolling a cigarette, Zhang Cheng bit it in his mouth, and Tristan beside him hurriedly handed over a match.

Accompanied by the thick fog gushing from his mouth, Zhang Cheng looked at the crowd beside him and said, "This weather is terrible!"

"How did you become a sheriff?"

Looking at Zhang Cheng suspiciously, Rooster became confused.

Because how could the sheriff of Big Whiskey town be a man from the Far East?

"Very simple, because I killed the previous sheriff!"

Speaking with a smile on his face, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Hearing Zhang Cheng's words, Rooster and LaBoeuf were both stunned on the spot, because he could still become a sheriff after that?

"What kind of expression is that? Do you think I'm a wanted criminal? Don't worry, I'm a good person!"

Speaking calmly, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

After a long journey, everyone finally arrived at the reservation after a few days of travel.

However, just as they arrived, snow and wind began to mix.

Feeling the chill approaching, Zhang Cheng looked into the distance and said, "There is smoke over there; there should be a hunter's cabin!"

Hearing Zhang Cheng's words, everyone rushed toward the wooden cabin.

However, on the way, LaBoeuf and Rooster were very vigilant.

After arriving at the cabin, Zhang Cheng said, "Friends inside, it's snowing outside. Can we come in?"

"No, it's already full!"

Hearing the voice from outside, the people inside became vigilant and hurriedly raised their guns.

"It seems they refused!"

Shrugging his shoulders at Mattie and the others beside him, Zhang Cheng raised the revolver in his hand and pulled the trigger.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

With a few gunshots, screams came from inside.

Looking at Zhang Cheng in shock, Mattie, Rooster, and the others were all dumbfounded, because was this something a sheriff should do?

Pushing the door open and entering, Zhang Cheng looked at the people wailing on the ground, raised his revolver, and said, "Do you agree now?"
