Ultimate Firepower

Chapter 50 Grassroots
I heard that in the United States, connections are not important. Everything is handled impartially. There is no need to find ways to use connections, and it is useless.

When it really happened, I realized it was all nonsense.

Passports can be applied for online or at a post office, but Gao Yi chose to go to the Passport Service Center.

Martin took Gao Yi straight to an office without queuing or making an appointment. He filled out a few forms and his passport was immediately made.

It is even faster than waiting for it immediately. You don’t have to wait for several days to get it. It will be processed and issued immediately when it arrives.

After getting the passport and leaving the service center, Martin immediately whispered, "Your documents are ready. Now you can apply for a gun license, a bank card, and all the documents that require identity. Remember to change your driver's license after five years, and remember to pay taxes. Don't let the tax bureau target you."

"Okay, thank you, I'll pay now."

Gao Yi took out his mobile phone and paid $500,000 worth of Bitcoin in front of Martin. Then the customer service of the Red and Blue Group asked him how he felt.

Although there is no five-star review system, Gao Yi specifically praised Martin in the customer service and asked Martin to take a look.

One detail, Gao Yi noticed that his BitCoin appreciated a lot. The BitCoin that was originally worth about 550,000 US dollars, is now worth 640,000 in just a few days.

In other words, because he didn't have a bank card, Gao Yi kept the Bitcoin for a few more days, and it appreciated by almost 10%.

Gao Yi felt that if he didn't spend this little money and just kept the Bitcoin to appreciate in value, it would be enough for his daily expenses, and he might even make a lot of money.

If that's the case, then just do his mission two more times. After you earn some Bitcoin, you can just trade in it. Why be a killer?

If Luca had exchanged all his Bitcoins for cash, I wonder if he would have fainted in the toilet crying these past two days.

The idea of ​​speculating in cryptocurrencies flashed through his mind, and Gao Yi said to Martin: "Now everything is settled. Thank you, we'll have a chance to cooperate again in the future."

Martin smiled and whispered, "Can you leave me your contact information? Uh, I can't access the dark web, but if there are any problems offline, maybe we can help each other. Also, we are strictly prohibited from leaving contact information to customers, but if the customer actively requests it, then there is no problem."

Gao Yi didn't analyze the pros and cons too much. He nodded and smiled, "Okay, but I have to buy a phone card. I don't have one yet."

"I'll take you."

In order to keep Gao Yi's contact information, Martin tried very hard, but I don't know what benefits he thought he could get from Gao Yi.

He went to a mobile phone store and bought a new phone and a SIM card. He also bought an extra phone number and exchanged numbers with Martin. Gao Yi then had his first contact after arriving in the United States.

Gao Yi didn't know whether he should introduce himself to Martin, but before he could bring it up, Martin whispered, "Let me introduce myself. I'm an agent from the FBI Intelligence Division. If you have any problems in Los Angeles or any intelligence you need, you can ask me."

Gao Yi was a little dazed.

Martin looked at Gao Yi and spread his hands, "Are you surprised? Isn't this normal? Apart from the FBI, who else can handle these problems for you so smoothly? Don't worry! We are not fishing, we just want to make some money. The higher-ups have ways to make big money, and we have ways to make small money, but mutual benefit is always okay. Sometimes, some things are actually more convenient to solve in the hands of the lower-level people. You will know later."

"Okay, great, keep in touch, there's a chance for us to work together."

Martin smiled, stretched out his fist and bumped it with Gao Yi. This time he did not invite Gao Yi to get in the car, but drove away.

Now Gao Yi was the only one left, standing on the street in Los Angeles with his newly obtained documents, not knowing where to go.

Although everything went smoothly, it took quite some time. It was already afternoon. If you wanted to leave Los Angeles, you'd better go to the airport immediately. If you don't plan to leave Los Angeles, you have to find a place to stay first.

Let's stay in a hotel first for two days, and then rent a house. I heard that the house prices and rents in Los Angeles are very high, but I don't know how much it will cost.

While Gao Yi was thinking, a car stopped on the side of the road, right in front of him. Then, when Gao Yi felt that there was something wrong with the way the car was parked, the window was rolled down, Sean nodded and said, "Get in the car." Gao Yi widened his eyes.

I had clearly tried very hard to get rid of Sean, but why did Sean come to me now, and it looked like he might continue to follow me?

Gao Yi walked to the passenger side, opened the door and got in.

"You're so hard to find. I've been looking for you since last night, and it took me twelve hours to find you."

I don't know whether Sean is complaining or bragging about how great he is.

Gao Yi frowned and asked, "When did you find me?"

"I waited for you when you entered the passport service center. I knew you would come because I knew you would definitely go to the Red and Blue Group to apply for your identity. This is their process. It is not a secret to many people in the industry."

After he finished speaking, Sean smiled confidently and said, "You tried very hard to hide your whereabouts and get rid of me, right? But the means you used were too crude, and you didn't know how to effectively get rid of tracking. Fortunately, I had no ill intentions, otherwise you would be in danger."

"What do you want to do?"

Gao Yi's tone didn't change much, but Sean knew he couldn't beat around the bush anymore.

"I want to cooperate with you. You don't have to join the Garden, and I won't persuade you to join the Garden anymore. Now it's like this. We need good killers to help the Garden survive, and you, as a newcomer, need someone to teach you a lot of basic knowledge and skills, so see if this works."

Sean said eagerly, "I will be responsible for finding someone to teach you. Then when you feel ready, and you think there are any tasks in the garden that you can take on, just help us do the tasks, and all the commissions will belong to you. How about that?"

Gao Yi thought for a moment and said, "It's just subcontracting. Give me the tasks you can't do, I'll get the money, and you get the reputation."

"Yes."

Overt strategies do work.

In the past, he knew nothing and did not realize how difficult it was to navigate the world alone. But now, after experiencing the thoughtful service, Gao Yi feels that it is really great to have a helper.

After all, it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality.

Gao Yi thought for a moment and said, "It's not impossible to cooperate, but even though I get paid for completing a mission, the mission is under your name..."

Sean immediately said, "Add more money. We'll add more money. Since it's a collaboration, of course you have to think it's appropriate before you take it."

Originally, he was half-hearted, but since Sean said so, Gao Yi naturally would not be so reserved. He immediately smiled and said, "Okay, let's cooperate."

Sean let out a sigh of relief.

"Do you have anything to do? If not, go to Europe. Europe will give you better learning opportunities."

Gao Yi immediately said: "No, I have something important to do here."

"What?"

Gao Yi's expression became serious, and then he said solemnly: "Buy a gun! Practice shooting!"
