"It's so corrupt! Can it be corrupted like this in broad daylight, and the Gabonese government has no one to take care of it? Out of customs, Duke said with some indignation. The level of corruption here was really beyond his imagination.

"Don't be indignant, boss, it's like this in Africa, basically most countries." Kobe Bryant said with a shrug. "It's just a matter of a few dollars. You can think of it as a service tip, but in fact, the salary of these security guards is really low, most of them don't get a hundred dollars a month. So, how can you live without a little extra income? ”

"That's it, that's the benefit of this job, don't look at one dollar, two dollars is a small number, a few flights a day is thousands of people, so this position they are all done in rotation, a person can't work for a few days to change new people in, of course, new people to get this position, but also clearly marked the price to the person assigned by the top. This is the norm in most countries in Africa. A big bodyguard who came up after him said.

Duke remembers that this bodyguard is Hurd, who was recommended by Shuya, and when he was in the Marine Corps, he had been on missions in many African countries. Hearing Hurd's words, Duke shook his head and stopped talking.

Leaving the airport, Bryant and the driver of a van at the airport negotiated a $50 deal to send his group to the city's beachfront hotel, the Lake Hotel, a 5-star hotel on the Atlantic coast. When I made a reservation, the front desk said that it was very close to the sea, and in the room by the sea, you could see the Atlantic Ocean through the window.

From León-Mba International Airport to downtown Libreville, it is a wide coastal highway that winds along the seaside plain to the city center, with a total length of less than 15 kilometers, and the scenery along the way is breathtaking.

On the west side of this excellent highway is the vast Atlantic Ocean, where you can see the turquoise waters at any time, and if you get closer, you will find that the crystal clear is unusually clear, the golden beaches stretching out in the sun, and the seaside coconut groves everywhere reveal the tropical scenery of the city of Libreville.

The journey was picturesque, and Duke, who rarely saw such a beautiful scenery, had not seen enough, and the car sent Duke and his party to the hotel.

The hotel is really close to the sea, and outside the reception hall, Duke can even faintly hear the sound of waves in the distance, and smell the faint smell of sea wafting from the ocean. As far as the eye can see, under the blue sky, there is an endless white sand beach, on which are propped up with white parasols like clouds, and next to the beach are neat rows of coconut groves.

"Yes, boss, the environment here is really beautiful." Kobe Bryant made a very exaggerated expression, "If we stay here for a week or two, it will be really cool." ”

"Let's get to work." Although Duke also enjoyed the picturesque scenery here, he saw that Kobe Bryant seemed to have forgotten what he was going to do, so he scolded angrily, "After lunch in a while, you go and get the vehicles and logistics supplies or something, prepare as much as possible, and then exchange some local currency to come back by the way." ”

"OK, boss, make sure everything is in order. Hurd, you accompany me to rent a car and buy supplies in a while, and the others follow the boss, their eyes brighten, I heard that this place is not very peaceful. After a period of getting along, Kobe Bryant has now become a more trusted person around Duke, and this team of bodyguards is now headed by him. When it comes to business, Kobe Bryant is still very serious.

"Yes, sir." The group of muscular men with sunglasses and bodies as strong as a cow around Kobe Bryant agreed.

For the sake of Duke's safety, Kobe Bryant asked for 6 rooms, Duke and Hewitt each lived in a room by the sea, and on both sides of Duke and Hewitt and opposite, there were rooms for the bodyguards, so that even if something happened, Kobe Bryant and they could respond quickly.

If it weren't for the fact that Duke really didn't want to live with Kobe, Kobe would have been going to live directly in Duke's room for safety.

After cleaning up, Hewitt was so tired that he lay down on the bed to rest. Bryant took Hurd to prepare, and Duke, although he was also tired, couldn't sleep at all, so he simply got up and prepared to swim in the Atlantic. The water is much cleaner than in Boston, and the snow-white sand stretches far from the seafloor, making it an ideal place for swimming.

Stepping on the soft white sand under your feet, slowly entering the embrace of the Atlantic Ocean, feeling the gentle coolness of the clear Atlantic water, slowly dipping from the skin into the heart and spleen, the heat and fatigue are suddenly reduced a lot. In the distance, the waves were churning, the sea and the sky were the same color, and a blue world was formed between the sky and the earth, Duke raised his head and floated gently on the sea, squinting to see the white seagulls passing overhead from time to time, and the sound of the waves in his ears was refreshing.

It would be nice if Shuya was here, Duke's reverie.

Suddenly, there was a commotion on the shore, shattering Duke's wonderful illusions. Duke rolled over and swam to the shallow water to stand up, only to find a group of black children, all carrying baskets, arguing with the hotel security guards.

"Sovaz, what are they doing?" Duke asked one of the bodyguards who followed him, and around him, the three bodyguards were vaguely in a zigzag shape, and followed Duke as if they were nothing.

"Maybe this group of children came to the beach to pick up things, and the hotel security didn't let them pick up things." Sovalz was obviously watching everything that was going on here, but if it didn't matter to Duke's safety, Sovalz didn't pay much attention to it.

"Oh," Duke explained, because there are also people who specialize in picking up cans and plastic bottles, and although the hotel has security personnel, there is a large area of open beach here, and it is not easy for the security guards to prevent other people from entering.

Duke was about to swim for a while, when he suddenly noticed several adult black men in the distance, holding a large bag in their hands, taking advantage of the security guard's inattention, walking quickly to the parasol, and then quickly stuffing the things under the parasol into his pocket, cans, mineral water, and pants left by tourists.

Duke was dumbfounded, "Sauvez......" Duke stammered a little and pointed to the black man who had already ransacked something under a parasol, and said to Sauvez, "Is it fashionable to grab things directly here?" Oops, no, they're running for our stuff now! ”
