Charlie's private parlor is particularly tightly secured, opening the door requires a triple password to unlock, fingerprints, pupils, and a set of passwords, the door is made of explosion-proof materials, with an astonishing thickness of 500mm, and rockets can't explode.

If my guess is correct, this is not a parlor at all, but a safe house that Charlie has built for himself, where he can hide and wait for support in case of danger, and will not even be able to enter unless the enemy uses anti-materiel heavy weapons.

Follow Charlie into the room, the interior decoration is extremely luxurious, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as magnificent, even if it is a royal palace.

Sitting on the leather sofa, in front of a crystal carved coffee table, the water glasses placed on it are carved from ivory, the wall on the right is a huge transparent wine cabinet, the edges and corners are inlaid with diamonds, the wine inside is even more valuable, there is a cylindrical crystal display cabinet on the left, there are more than a dozen pistols in it, all of which are limited edition antique guns, and any one is priceless.

Directly in front is a huge floor-to-ceiling window, from which you can overlook half of the city, the window is made of four layers of thickened military bulletproof glass, which can easily withstand the bullets of a 7.62mm sniper rifle, in my opinion, even a 12.7mm sniper rifle may not be able to penetrate, this Charlie is really not an ordinary fear of death.

"You're such a rich man!" I stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and looked into the distance, and said lightly.

"People like us who lick blood on the tip of a knife don't know when their heads will fall off, of course we have to live comfortably!" Charlie sat on the couch and took out a set of tea sets and began to make tea.

Curious, I walked over and sat across from him and asked, "Do you like tea?" "I have the impression that Europeans and Americans drink coffee.

"I don't like it, I'm not used to it, but I like to make tea, it calms people!" Charlie poured two cups of tea very seriously and handed them to me and the immortal bird, and smiled, "Taste it!" ”

"I'm sorry, I can't get used to it!" The immortal bird didn't touch the teacup.

I didn't care, I picked up the cup and took a sip, the mouth was bitter and the aftertaste was sweet.

"The tea is good!" I complimented it.

"Chinese like to drink tea, and it seems that you are no exception!" He picked up the teapot and filled it again, and said, "Taste this second cup, whether it is bitter or sweet!" ”

"Mr. Charlie, I think it's time for us to get down to business." This time I didn't touch the teacup again, just looked at him calmly.

Charlie paused, then nodded, got up and walked to the bookcase in the corner, took out a document from it, and then handed it to me and said, "This is the contract I specially signed for you, 5 million US dollars, see if there is any problem!" ”

I took the contract, threw it on the coffee table without even looking at it, and said, "Mr. Charlie, this is your company's contract, it doesn't seem to have anything to do with us, and my team hasn't signed a deed of sale with you." ”

Charlie frowned, his face slightly ugly: "I don't understand what you mean!" ”

"Why did my squad give you your life? Give me a reason! I leaned back on the couch and the corners of my mouth curled slightly.

"Your squad? I think you're mistaken, they're all from the company! Charlie said expressionlessly.

"Then you can ask them!" I gestured to the immortal bird beside me.

Charlie's gaze fell on the undead bird, but the undead bird kept looking down at the ivory teacup and didn't even look at him.

After a moment of silence, Charlie said: "Okay, even if it's your squad, but that's because the company trained you, gave you the best resources and the best instructors, and now that you're out of the school, shouldn't you work for the company?" ”

I held out my index finger and shook it in front of my eyes, then shook my head and said, "Not enough." Then I stretched out a finger and said, "First, our participation in the special training was carried out under your abduction and intimidation, not all of it was voluntary, and second, is it because the company trained us, do we have to work for you for a lifetime, this is the law of the strong, sorry, we are not weak." ”

Charlie stopped talking, staring at me with a fixed gaze, not knowing what he was thinking, and I just looked out the window lightly, waiting for his reply.

"If I'm not mistaken, you don't want to work for the company anymore, do you?" Charlie's eyes grew cold.

"No, I just need a reason to fight!" I still didn't look at him, and I was not happy that I had to wait so hard for a long time to not listen to the command, and no one could accept it.

"Okay, I'll give you a reason, you owe a lot of money to the company, and this debt can only be paid off with work." Charlie took a deep breath and suppressed his anger.

"How much do you owe?" I finally met his gaze.

"You personally owe me five million dollars, and the resources that the company has provided to you in the past eight years, at least a billion dollars." Charlie has a good memory, and even remembers the money he owed when his father hired them to save people.

"Isn't it too much?" I frowned.

"Are you bargaining with me? Where do you think the tanks, armored vehicles, speedboats and planes you train come from? That's all the company spent money to buy, and one billion is still discounted for you. "Charlie is almost mad, a veteran like him who has been on this road for decades, controlling his temper is a good trick, but today it is obviously a bit broken.

I thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay, it's acceptable to pay off the debt." ”

After that, I took the contract on the coffee table and looked at it casually, it was a $10 million war contract with the Sri Lankan government, whose government forces were fighting the rebel LTTE and won a phased victory.

But at present, there is a rebel army entrenched in the jungle in the northeast, constantly harassing the rear of the government army, causing great losses, they have repeatedly entered the mountains to encircle and suppress, not only did not succeed but suffered heavy casualties, so they paid tens of millions of commissions to seek assistance.

"When are you leaving?" I asked without looking up.

"Tomorrow morning at nine o'clock! The company's special will take you directly to the government barracks, where the commander will give you specific information. Charlie said.

"We need weapons!" Coming to Colombia from the base, it was impossible for us to enter the city with weapons, and now we have nothing on us except a nail clippers.

"In ten minutes, someone will take you to the arsenal and pick up any equipment inside." Charlie had already prepared everything, and the only thing that caught him off guard was my attitude.

"OK, happy cooperation!" I put the contract down and smiled and held out my hand to Charlie.

"The money for the weapon will be deducted from your commission!" Charlie stared at me.

The corners of my mouth twitched slightly, my hand paused in front of his eyes, my fingers moved, and then slowly withdrew my hand, and said quietly: "You are really- stingy!" ”

"It's all forced by you!" Charlie glared at me viciously.

"OK, just do as you say!" I shrugged my shoulders and looked like I didn't care.

Ten minutes later, a guy in shabby camouflage uniforms and covered in oil led us to the arsenal located on the third basement floor.

I don't know much about the company, I thought that their weapons should have been bought on the black market, and now I know how naïve my thoughts are, this huge arsenal in front of me is enough to equip a reinforced regiment of five thousand people, so many weapons are obviously not equipped for their own people, then there is only one possibility, it seems that the company not only cultivates mercenaries, but also does other business.
