Chapter 259: The Police and the Gangsters Return Home (Please Collect, Recommend, and Vote) 4600 Words Combined Chapter

If this kind of thug had been in the past, Portman would not have needed to go through so much trouble, he could have just killed him directly. →At that time, they all had licenses to kill, and they were doing the work of killing. A mere drug dealer was dead, and no one would bother them because of this.

But it is different now, they have retired and are civilians. So Portman did not stab him through the neck with a dagger, but just kneed him in the crotch, causing the guy to roll on the ground holding his balls.

Kai looked at the gang of thugs looking at Portman with hatred and fear, and shook his head. After leaving the army, he was really a little uncomfortable with the scene in front of him. "Call the police, we are all civilians now, so don't go too far."

The United States is a society ruled by law, at least on the surface. They have no law enforcement power, and even if they really beat these bastards into trouble, they will be held criminally responsible. The United States is not like China. In China, the "laundry" just measured is enough to be sentenced to fifteen years in prison, life imprisonment or death penalty, and confiscation of property. But it is not so serious here, because this kind of thing is too common.

Although the United States may not have the most places to produce and make drugs, it must have the most drugs shipped to the United States in the world. According to a large amount of data, nearly 70% of the drugs produced in other countries in the world are shipped to the United States. It can be said that the United States is the world's number one drug consumer.

According to statistics from somewhere, one in ten Americans is a drug addict. Especially among young people, the proportion of taking banned drugs is particularly large.

The reason is that the United States does not strictly regulate various banned drugs. So these guys are sentenced to one or two years at most, which is still the most. According to the sentencing level, they are just minor crimes. If they are seriously injured, the police and prosecutors will still find trouble with Portman, so they simply turn a blind eye and teach him a lesson and hand it over to the police.

Saji also understood this truth. He glared at his sister fiercely, and then asked his friends to call the police.

At this time, Saji's parents also rushed over. Seeing the mess and the gangsters lying on the ground, the veteran immediately understood what was going on.

He roared at his daughter furiously.

"I warned you long ago that you were not allowed to bring these scumbags into my house! Angel! You must pay for your behavior! Go upstairs now, you are in solitary confinement!" The old soldier was a typical old-fashioned man, and he did not accept the so-called fashion of those young people nowadays.

"Dad, you can't do this! I'm grown up, I have my own freedom!" Angel was also a 16-year-old girl, and she couldn't accept that her father made her lose face in front of her friends. And Americans like to talk about freedom all the time.

"Wait until you are 18 years old before talking about freedom! You are not qualified to talk about freedom now. Go upstairs! Right now!" Although the old soldier was used to the independence of his children, that was after they were 18 years old.

"You are unreasonable!" Although Angel was angry, she didn't dare to really fight back. →Although the old soldier was not irritable, everyone knew his stubborn personality.

So he could only struggle desperately, and then go upstairs obediently under the old man's angry eyes. And her friends, seeing this situation, wanted to escape immediately. Kai had no interest in making things difficult for those girls who were sixteen or seventeen years old. But it was not so easy for those hooligans who did not look like good people to escape.

Just as a hooligans tried to leave, Kai tripped and fell to the ground.

"Wait for the police to come."

Perhaps a few hooligans had a strong desire to survive, and actually planned to rush out by force. As a result, before others could react, they saw a few hooligans flying back, holding their stomachs and screaming all over the ground.

...

After restraining a few hooligans, Saji's father apologized to Kai. He did not expect that an ordinary barbecue party would turn out like this.

But Saji could not help it.

"What's wrong with these people? I remember that the town was not like this before!"

Although Jiade Town was not poor, it was located in a remote area and the folk customs were relatively simple. Saji had never seen a group of young people taking drugs together before. In fact, compared with big cities, Jiade Town was a very conservative place, and people here were not very accepting of taking drugs.

This made his father and neighbors and friends depressed. In fact, they did not plan to talk about this today. After all, Saji had been away from home for several years before returning, so any bad things would have to be left for later. But now...

"Jade Town...is no longer the same as before."

So he told Saji and the others about the changes in Jiade Town in the past few years.

It turned out that five years ago, a wealthy businessman came to Jiade Town and planned to invest in Jiade Town. To be honest, this kind of thing is rare in Jiade Town for a hundred years. What does Jiade Town have? Except for the beautiful mountains and rivers, there is basically nothing. So at first people just watched the excitement and didn't take it seriously.

But then things were different. First, the town started to build a casino and several hotels. Then the wealthy businessman found the local indigenous people and partnered with them to open a casino. Pornography, gambling and drugs, these three things are rarely separated. With gambling, the other two are not far away. (Indians can open casinos in their own territories without being controlled by state laws. In many states in the United States that prohibit casino operations, white people will pretend to be or partner with Indians to open casinos)

Then the atmosphere in the town changed. People began to indulge in gambling. The prostitutes and illegal drugs outside began to spread in the town. That's not all. The rich businessman also began to vigorously crack down on local businesses, bankrupting many local businesses and then buying them at low prices.

Most of the white people in Minnesota are from the Scandinavian Peninsula. They are typical Nordic people. They are extremely tough and of course they don't do it, so they clashed with the rich businessman. As a result, the rich businessman had many thugs under his command, and used violent means to kill and injure some opponents. As a result, the town was completely reduced to the private land of the rich businessman.

By now, almost everyone understood that the guy was not a rich businessman, but a gangster.

"So... no one can control him?"

Sage felt incredible that a gangster could actually be in charge of a small town. This was too ridiculous for Sage. Did he think that the United States was Mexico? Can we tolerate those criminals messing around?

"Who will? Those policemen have been bribed, and the mayor is also doing business with him. Who dares to do it?"

In fact, many things in the world are the same. Don't think that the United States is really a paradise, and the officials there are all clean and honest. Those who think so are either pennies or pure idiots. Collusion between officials and businessmen is everywhere in the world, and it is not uncommon in the United States. But Saji didn't expect that this guy would play so openly, and he didn't even bother to cover it up.

"Alas... In fact, even if these bastards are handed over to the police, they will come out soon." Saji's father sighed and said helplessly.

At this time, the police also came.

These policemen were very dissatisfied with this police call. They even told Saji's family very clearly that they should not make trouble. This made Meatball, who was eating, very unhappy. Is this what the police should say?

When the police saw Meatball, Kai, Portman and Saji standing there, they knew that they were all retired soldiers, so they didn't pay attention to Meatball's dissatisfaction. They took the gangsters away very straightforwardly, including the drugs.

But what puzzled Kai was that the police did not take them away.

This was not because Kai had any masochistic tendencies, but according to the formal procedures, at least Portman and the guy who called the police had to go to the police station with him. Whether it was explaining the situation or recording a statement, the parties and the caller needed to describe the situation. But these policemen, one, did not ask about the situation, and two, did not take them to the police station, and just took a few gangsters away.

"This... is too obvious, isn't it?" Kai was shocked. These bastards didn't even bother to cover it up.

Saji was even more angry. These grandsons ran to his house to cause trouble for his sister, but in the end, looking at this situation, the others were police and gangsters.

"Alas..." Seeing this situation, the locals sighed and stopped talking.

The barbecue party ended like this.

...

Kai and his group of four stayed at Saji's house for one night, and set off together the next day to Kai's hometown, no, it should be Adam's hometown.

Adam's family situation is much better than others. Although his father is missing and his mother is dead, he has left a lot of property. The Milligan family is a relatively prestigious family in the local area. In the generation of Adam's grandfather, their family immigrated here from the UK.

His grandfather was a surgeon, and his grandmother was the daughter of a British nobleman. Although she did not inherit the title, she was also of noble descent. When they immigrated here, they also brought a lot of property. By the time of Adam's mother's generation, although it was a little declining, the family was still rich.

For example, in terms of real estate, his mother left Adam three buildings, two farms and an old house, but not much cash. Because all of it was taxed.

So Kai is actually quite rich, of course, this is actually irrelevant to Kai, and this little money is not taken seriously by him at all.

But it's different for Sage and his group.

When they walked into Kai's (Adam's) old house, they were immediately stunned.

Big, so fucking big!

This is a manor! And it's deep in the rich area, with a forest and a lake on the side. The manor is a typical British building, magnificent and full of classical style. The main building is 4 stories high, with 45 rooms of various sizes, 25 bedrooms, 6 halls, 15 fireplaces, 4 kitchens, 13 bathrooms, and covers an area of ​​about 14 acres.

The price of this manor alone is almost millions of dollars, and this is because Wyndham is just a small city. If it is placed in some more prosperous areas, the price of this kind of classical manor will definitely exceed 10 million.

The only drawback is that there are not many people here.

There is no way. When Adam's mother passed away, the family had already fallen into decline. When Adam's mother passed away, the inheritance tax and house and land tax alone were enough to turn Adam into a negative asset.

Here we have to talk about some tax laws in the United States, first of all, the inheritance tax. The inheritance tax in the United States is very tricky. In the United States, the inheritance tax starts at one million US dollars, and the percentage of collection is 18%-50%. What's more tricky is that the inheritance here is more or less all the inheritance, including real estate!

The three buildings, two farms and this manor alone are worth more than 20 million. Calculated at 50%... In order to keep these ancestral properties, Adam used almost all of her mother's cash, stocks, and funds to pay taxes, and also paid off a series of loans.

That's not all. The house and land tax in the United States is also very bad. The property tax in most states of the United States is collected in proportion to the value of the house and land, and it is collected every year, following the market!

For example, New York has an average tax rate of 2% in New York, which is paid annually. A house worth 250,000 US dollars needs to pay about 5,500 US dollars in taxes each year. The equivalent of a house worth 1.6 million RMB is taxed at 34,650 RMB per year. And the real estate owned by Kai... it costs hundreds of thousands a year!

So don't envy the so-called permanent property rights in foreign countries. China's 70-year property rights are so good. You don't have to pay taxes every year. You can renew it when it expires, and it doesn't cost much. It's not like the United States. If you can't pay taxes, then wait to be kicked out of your own house!

Although other real estates have output except manors, they are generally not enough to cover expenses. The main reason is that the manor is too bad. Not only do you need to pay taxes, but you also need to maintain it. The annual cost of maintaining such a manor is hundreds of thousands.

So, the biggest reason why Adam didn't go to college was not because of anything else, but because he was poor...

He owed the bank millions when he just started college, so he had to join the army. At least he could pay the interest by joining the army. This was also due to Adam's upbringing. Adam was not a cheerful child. He was overprotected by his mother since he was a child. He was a carefree young man, but in the end he was useless and had no great ability. Otherwise, he would not have joined the army to escape.

If this trend continues, the Milligan family will eventually decline. After Kai inherited everything from Adam, he naturally needed to do something for him, so he helped him pay off the loan and took out a large sum of money every year to maintain the manor.

Although the manor is magnificent now, in fact, in the hands of Adam's mother, the maintenance of the manor has become a problem. If it weren't for Kai's money, perhaps the manor that Saji and others saw would only be a dilapidated scene.

Money has never been a problem for Kai.

"Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!" Portman held the champagne brought by the maid and cursed.

He was shocked. He never knew Kai was so rich. In fact, Kai never talked about this matter. Kai rarely talked about his private affairs with others. First, it was because there was no need. Second, this thing actually belonged to Adam. He just occupied the nest. It was not something worth boasting about, and it was not worth boasting about.

Kai curled his lips at Portman's dirty words and said nothing more. There are few soldiers like them who kill and burn on the front line. Besides, the army never advocates quality or not. Being a soldier means obeying orders and being able to fight. That's it. Everything else is trivial.

Kai asked the maids to go down, so that Portman and Meatball, the two beasts, would not stare at other people's chests and buttocks. That was too rude. Those maids are hired by a housekeeping company, not by Kai himself. Kai has always handed over the manor to a housekeeping company. To put it bluntly, these maids are all serious staff members. It will be very troublesome if they are accused of sexual harassment by these maids.

"Okay, take your eyes off those girls' butts! We need to talk."

"What to talk about?"

"In the future! Are you going to just eat and wait for death?"

Portman actually thinks that there is nothing wrong with eating and waiting for death like this, but no matter how he thinks, he also knows that this is all Kai's, and it has nothing to do with him. So he still retracted his obscene eyes and looked at Kai.

"I don't know. Anyway, I will follow whatever you plan to do. In short, there is only one request, I want to live here! I won't go anywhere!" Portman is very single. He knows what kind of virtue he is. If there is no restraint from Kai, he himself doesn't know what kind of virtue he will become. Instead of this, it is better to follow Kai. Anyway, he knows that Kai will not ignore him.

Meatball doesn't matter. He is more single than Portman.

Saji, on the other hand, frowned, as if he had some ideas.
