130 Investments for the future
Major Erritt retreated outside the melee, keeping a close eye on Lei Rui at the center of the melee, occasionally glancing at James. Hudson, the partner Lei Rui picked.
After just a few glances, Major Erritt had to admit that compared to the previous candidates who he thought were very good and suitable, this guy selected by Lei Rui, who was careless and careless, was the right person for this task!
In him, with a calm toughness! Calm and tough, it was originally a pair of unrelated words, but in this James, they were fused together and expressed, and this is how it was, Major Erit took a few glances, and these two words naturally came to mind.
He didn't care if someone hit him or not, and where he hit him, he just tilted his head, looked at the person who hit him, and then fought back with an elbow, knocking the other person to the ground.
None of them are exceptions!
What's even stranger is that he doesn't use his fists at all!
Although Major Erit was secretly surprised, his main attention was still on Lei Rui, and the people around Lei Rui were also the most, like a group of wolves besieging a tiger, but this tiger came and went like the wind, swimming in the gap between the wolves, and every time he struck, he would definitely knock down one person, and then before the others could complete the encirclement, he suddenly swam to the gap next to him.
He always seemed to be able to spot the gap between the crowd at the first time, and sometimes, as if he could foresee a gap somewhere, and then move it first, as if the people besieging him were completely cooperating with him!
This ability, which Major Erritt had discovered in Rogers, knew that it was a combination of powerful computing ability, reflexes beyond ordinary people, keen comprehensive perception, strong strength, extraordinary combat skills and awareness, and strong self-confidence.
Even if Lei Rui really did not fully function as he said, the Super Soldier Serum did not fully function and made him not reach the level of a Super Soldier like Rogers, but at least it also benefited him a lot, and he is on the road to becoming a Super Soldier!
Major Erit was very relieved in his heart, and nodded secretly, this super soldier transformation plan that the Allied command had high hopes for could eventually give birth to two super fighters!
By the time Major Erritt was satisfied and thinking about these thoughts, the scuffle was nearing its end, and the only people who could stand were Lei Rui and James. Hudson and the others were already lying on the ground.
Lei Rui stretched out his hand and pulled up a few people who were about to get up next to him, and the others also stood up and looked at Lei Rui and James. In Hudson's eyes, he was no longer unconvinced.
"I know you're all coming down from the battlefield in Normandy Beach," Lei Rui said, looking around, "Me too!" Omaha Beachhead, Ranger C Company! ”
A few simple words immediately made everyone awe-inspired, plus Lei Rui and James. Hudson's real performance just now convinced them at once.
"Private! It's time for us to go! Major Errit walked over and said to Lei Rui.
Lei Rui stretched out his hand and pointed at Hudson, and before he could say anything, Major Errit nodded and said, "He is now your team member, and it is up to you to decide whether he will stay here or go with you."
"Come with me!" Lei Rui's decision was simple.
James. Hudson was very neat, carrying only a simple military canvas bag, which contained all his belongings, and without saying a word, he followed Lei Rui and Major Erit directly into the car and left.
After a visit to the Admiralty Vault, Lei Rui took Hudson back to Lady Drake's Stone Castle Villa, and after explaining the situation, Lady Drake arranged a spare room for him.
The room is not big, but it is very clean and tidy, the layout is warm, and it feels like home, Hudson is in this, his expression is a little trance, and the military canvas bag he is carrying in his hand has forgotten to put it down, standing in the middle of the room in a daze.
Lei Rui stood at the door, not disturbing him until Hudson took a long breath, put down the military canvas bag in his hand, turned around, and said to Lei Rui very sincerely: "Thank you!" Captain! ”
"My name is Lei Rui, you can call me Lei!" Lei Rui walked over, handed him a brown paper envelope, and said, "Don't be in a hurry to thank me first!" This is your war death pension! This mission received in advance, 10,000 US dollars! ”
Hudson took the envelope, looked at Lei Rui with no change in his expression, and asked, "So, this is a mortal mission?"
"Yes!" Lei Rui replied, "If you want to quit, it's still too late!" ”
Hudson shook his head and replied disapprovingly, "It's impossible to quit now, and I'm not going to quit."
"That's good!" Lei Rui nodded and replied, "In fact, in addition to the battle death pension received in advance, they also provided a reasonable remuneration for this mission, only the two of us, so we divided it equally, but only half of it was withdrawn in advance, 20,000 US dollars per person, and the remaining half was paid after the mission was completed." I'm going to use this money to make some investment, what about you? Take the money and hit the road, or invest with me? ”
Hudson was dumbfounded, speechless, and stammered for a long time before asking, "I...... I can't believe they ...... I mean the military, ...... Can you be blackmailed so hard? ”
"It's not blackmail!" Lei Rui corrected, "This is a reasonable payment!" You take a rest first, and I'll take you to meet a few friends at dinner, and you can decide whether you want to invest with me or not. I plan to rely on this investment in the future. ”
Lei Rui turned to leave, and Hudson shouted from behind, "Hey, Ray! I don't have to think about it, I can give you the answer now, I choose to invest with you. By the way, how long can we stay in London? ”
"3 days!" Lei Rui stretched out three fingers and replied.
Hudson counted out a thousand dollars from the brown paper envelope, and threw the rest directly to Lei Rui, "Invest in these for me too, I don't want to go on the road with this thing." ”
Lei Rui stretched out his hand and copied it in the air, grabbed the brown paper envelope, and asked, "You're not afraid that I will run away with your money?"
Hudson shrugged indifferently and shook the stack of fancy bills in his hand, "I don't care about that!" If you want that money, you can take it, I have it, enough to have some fun for these three days, and I'm already satisfied. ”
Lei Rui laughed, made an OK gesture, and went out, and gently closed the door for Hudson.
Through the door, before he could walk away, Lei Rui heard James. Hudson whispered to himself, "That's interesting! ”
Dinner was served at London's famous Ross Restaurant, which was founded in 1798 and served celebrities with its unique delicacies, even in an era of war-torn and scarce supplies.
Everyone was able to reserve a table in advance thanks to Sir Derick's Lady's relationship.
As soon as the waiter standing at the door led the way in, everyone felt the weight of history, the combination of dark red and light golden yellow, with crystal clear glassware, silver glittering silver tableware, and polite elderly gentleman waiters, everywhere exuded a strong sense of tradition and classicism.
Many diners knew Lady Sir Derick and greeted her, and she took Diana by the arm, and her demeanor was pleasing to the eye. In contrast, Angela, who followed them, was much inferior, and Konstantin had a usual faint melancholy expression, paying no attention to the eyes of others.
Lei Rui and Hudson are like two bulls breaking into the peony garden, looking left and right, holding their heads high, and they are not affected by the heavy atmosphere here.
As soon as he sat down, Lady Derick had just opened the menu and was about to order, when someone came over, a tall and thin old man with gray temples, took off the gentleman's top hat on his head, and took Lady Drake's hand very elegantly, and gently kissed the back of her hand.
"Kids, let me introduce you, this is Patrick. Sir Morgan," said Lady Derrick in a soft introduction, "my dear, are you still studying those cold artefacts in the museum?" ”
"Yes, ma'am, but they have a temperature, the temperature of history!" Sir Morgan replied politely, with a low voice and a smile, and the two mustaches on his upper lip were very distinctive, adding to him a bit of elegant masculinity.
Under the introduction of Sir Derick, he was very patient, shaking hands with everyone one by one, his hands were a little thin, his five fingers were slender, and he gently shook with Lei Rui, Lei Rui felt a trace of coolness, the force in his body, the beast, as if stimulated by something, raised his head from his slumber, let out a low roar from his throat, and saw that there was nothing unusual, so he fell into a deep sleep again.
Lei Rui felt a little puzzled, seeing the back of Sir Morgan's departure, Sir Derek Lady introduced Lei Rui enthusiastically: "Sir Morgan is a good friend of Derek, in the past two years, he has also given me a lot of help, he is a very honest gentleman, a knowledgeable historian, an expert in cultural relics, the deputy director of the British Empire Museum, if you want to visit the museum, he can tell you the long story behind each cultural relic, children, now come and taste the food from my hometown, Red grouse from Ireland, and hares, for some wine? Whiskey in Ireland, oh, I see the three of you with sparkling eyes, just like Drake did when he was younger, and when he came back to Ireland, all he had in his eyes was whiskey, and he put me aside. ”
