Lisko’s American Life

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

Kenny is also the owner of this tavern. He was an officer with the rank of lieutenant in the army before. After returning to the city, because I couldn’t adapt to other jobs, I chose to become the owner of a tavern, and this tavern is specially used to receive retired soldiers. Because of this, some make ends meet.

But surrounding these comrades-in-arms every day, listening to each other's problems in life, and helping them out of the predicament 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 like he has returned to the military camp, and he lives 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 very different. He has no wife and children, and his parents passed away early, leaving him alone in the whole family.

Moreover, he is well-known and respected in the entire circle of New York veterans. There are many young guys who have just retired, and even treat each other as their own fathers.

Hearing Kenny's proposal, everyone stood up, raised the beer glasses in their hands, and shouted loudly.

"To Charles."

And Charles also took the beer from Kenny and drank it in one gulp. 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 party's whole day Turnover is up.

As soon as he returned to the tavern, Charles felt his blood was boiling, and the previous cold expression disappeared from his whole face. Every time he came here, it was as if he had come to the place he was most familiar with. The relaxed feeling brought to him here was stronger than that at home.

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

After Charles toasted, everyone returned to their seats, leaving only a few familiar people around him, inquiring about his recent living conditions.

Speaking of which, everyone who came to the tavern envied Charles very much. The other party was lucky enough to be favored by a big boss. Not only did his family move there, but he was also deeply trusted by the boss. He is now a member of the boss's security team. the leader.

This incident is no longer news, and Kenny is very proud of Charles' deeds. He is often used as an example to inspire young soldiers who have just been discharged.

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

For these veterans, Charles is also very lucky. You must know that there are not a small number of soldiers who retire in the United States in a year. After receiving the military pension, many people squander it quickly, and they also behave incompatible with the whole society, and they are even discriminated against in many places. .

This kind of cruelty of reality often makes them exhausted physically and mentally, and creates doubts about the whole world. It is obvious that they are soldiers to protect the stable life of the people of this country. Why do they now become the existence that people cast aside?

Coupled with their long-term military life, they are not very adaptable to other jobs. Although many people have entered the society and found a lucrative job, Will be leaving soon.

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

At present, Charles can not only continue his similar military life, but also get good returns. More importantly, he is blessed by the big shots. As the leader of the security team around the big shots, he also has a certain status in society.

"To be honest, tell us why you came back this time. I know your temper very well as a comrade-in-arms for so many years. If there is no emergency, you will definitely not choose to leave the boss and go alone. Come to this tavern alone."

Jack is an old comrade-in-arms of Charles, and the two have been in the same unit since the first day of service. He is even a comrade in the dormitory. After so many years of company, for both parties, his comrades are more reliable than family members. On the battlefield, they can hand over their backs to each other without hesitation.

Coupled with so many years of tacit understanding, there is almost no need to say, just a look, and the other party can understand what I mean.

Seeing that Charles couldn't hide it any longer, he took another look at the four-week decoration. The soldiers who surrounded him just now had returned to their positions. At this time, there was no one else at the counter except Charles Kenny, Jack, and Zorro Bai. There is no one else.

"It's like this. Our boss has a mission that needs some manpower. This time, the destination is Southeast Asia. It may be a bit tricky, but the boss has already approved the operation funds. If there is any injury during the operation, there will be a considerable pension.”

Charles lowered the volume and shared his purpose with his friends in a low voice. Hearing his words, the eyes of the rest of them lit up.

$200,000 may be disposable for the rich, but it can be life-changing for any of them.

More importantly, because of Charles' previous experience and the feedback from the mercenaries recruited last time, this rich man is very generous. As long as the task is completed, he will not be stingy with his bonus.

The specific amount is unknown, but I only know that the rewards the mercenaries received last time, many of them have already received more than 5 million.

Moreover, the families of these people, as well as themselves, live in Denver in peace and stability. This is very tempting for them. After all, there are many risks in taking this kind of private order. Many big bosses will choose to kill to keep their mouths open in order not to expose what they have done.

Even after the bonus is sent to you, the bonus is recovered in other ways. There are many people who have worked hard and even been injured, but the final outcome is still poor. Such examples are everywhere around them.

For them, the bonus can be less, but as long as the bonus can really be taken into their own hands and can be blessed by the big boss, it is enough for them to take a risk.
