Lisco's American Life

"Everyone's drinks are free today. This is a gift from Charles to our old friends. Let's raise a toast to Charles."

Kenny is the owner of this tavern. He was an officer with the rank of lieutenant in the army before. After returning to the city, because he was not suitable for other jobs, he chose to become the owner of a tavern, and this tavern was specially used for reception.

Although the annual income for retired military personnel is not very high, they often have trouble making ends meet due to the exemption.

But surrounding these comrades every day, listening to each other talk about the problems in life, and helping each other out of difficulties in his own way is also a very meaningful job in his opinion.

What's more important is that this kind of life makes him feel as if he has returned to the military camp, living extremely happily every day. In this case, how much money he earns is no longer important.

He is nearly 40 years old, and he is still completely alone. He has no wife and children of his own, his parents also passed away early, and he is the only one left in the entire family.

Moreover, he is well-known and respected in the entire circle of retired military personnel in New York. Many young men who have just retired even regard him as their father.

Upon hearing Kenny's suggestion, everyone stood up, raised their beer glasses, and shouted loudly.

"To Charles."

Charles also took the beer from Kenny's hand and drank it in one sip. He took out his wallet and found a few large bills and put them on the counter. He calculated that the money was enough for the other person to spend the whole day.

Turnover is up.

As soon as he returned to the tavern, Charles felt his blood boiling, and the previous cold expression on his face disappeared. Every time he came here, he felt like he was in the place he was most familiar with, and the relaxation and ease it brought him here

The feeling is more intense than at home.

Of course, here and home are two different concepts. Home is the place where his heart belongs, and here are all his own kind, allowing him to express himself without any scruples.

After Charles raised his glass and toasted, everyone returned to their seats, leaving only a few familiar people around him, asking about his recent life.

Speaking of which, everyone who came to the tavern was very envious of Charles. He had good luck and was spotted by a big boss. Not only did he move his family there, but he was also deeply trusted by the boss. He is now a member of the boss's security team.

The leader of.

This matter is no longer news. Kenny is very proud of Charles's deeds. He often uses him as an example to inspire young soldiers who have just retired.

In his words, as long as you don’t give up hope in life, God will love you one day.

For these veterans, Charles is also very lucky. You must know that there are not a few military personnel in the United States who retire every year. After receiving military pensions, many people quickly squandered them all, and they also showed that

They are incompatible with society as a whole and are even discriminated against in many places.

This cruel sense of reality often makes them exhausted mentally and physically, and creates doubts about the entire world. It is obvious that they are soldiers to protect the stable life of the people of this country, why have they become despised by people now?

Coupled with the long-term military life, they are not very adaptable to other jobs. Although many people enter the society and find a lucrative job, they will leave their jobs soon.

In comparison, they prefer the original military life. They only need to complete their tasks on time every day. The superiors will give you orders. As a soldier, you only need to keep moving towards the goal.

At present, Charles can not only continue his military-like life, but also receive good returns. More importantly, he is protected by a big shot. As the leader of the security team around the big shot, he also has a certain status in society.

"Seriously, tell us why you came back this time. I know your temper very well after being a comrade for so many years. If there is no emergency, you will definitely not choose to leave the boss and be alone.

A man came to this tavern."

Jack is an old comrade of Charles. The two of them have been in the same army since the first day of service. They are even comrades in the same dormitory. After so many years of companionship, for both parties, their comrades are more reliable than family members.

On the battlefield, there is a being who can leave his back to the other party's care without hesitation.

Coupled with the tacit understanding cultivated for so many years, there is almost no need to say much, just a look, the other party can understand what you mean.

Seeing that he could hide it no longer, Charles took another look at the 4-week decoration. The soldiers who had just surrounded him had returned to their seats. At this time, except for Charles Kenny, Jack, and Zorro Bai, there were only a few other people at the counter.

There is no one else.

"That's it. Our boss has a task that requires some manpower. This time the destination is Southeast Asia, which may be a bit tricky, but the boss has already approved me the funds for action. Before departure, each person will receive a settling-in fee of US$200,000. If

If there is any injury during the operation, there will be a large pension."

Charles lowered his voice and whispered his purpose to his friends. Upon hearing his words, the eyes of the other people suddenly lit up.

$200,000 may be something that the rich can throw away at will, but for any of them it can change their lives.

What's more important is that because of Charles' previous experience and the feedback from the mercenary members he was recruited last time, this rich man is very generous. As long as the mission is completed, he will not be stingy with his bonus at all.

The specific amount is unknown, but we know that the last reward the mercenaries received was that many of them had received more than 5 million.

Moreover, these people’s families and themselves all live peacefully in Denver. This is very tempting for them. After all, there are many risks in taking such private orders. Many big bosses want to prevent them from doing it.

If something happened is exposed, they will choose to kill and silence them.

Even after the bonus is paid to you, the bonus is recovered through other methods. Many people have worked hard and even been injured, but in the end they are still penniless. There are many examples like this around them.

For them, the bonus can be smaller, but as long as the bonus can really be in their hands and protected by the big boss, it is enough for them to take the risk.
