"How about... we become policemen?"

This was the suggestion given by Sage a few days ago. →Kai was very tempted by this, while Meatball and Portman didn't care.

But...

"I understand the reason, but why do we have to come here to be lumberjacks?" Portman complained to Kai in a depressed tone, wearing work clothes and holding a chainsaw.

Kai was dressed in the same way, but unlike Portman, he was quite interested in the job in front of him. He had never been a lumberjack in his two lives. Kai put down his axe, wiped the sweat off his face, smiled and comforted him: "Don't complain so much, just relax your body."

Sage's logging yard went bankrupt because it could not repay the bank's loan. It was supposed to be auctioned off in a few days. But after Sage came back, he helped his father pay off the loan before the auction. No matter what, Sage was not expelled from the army. He was retired, so the severance pay he received was not small, plus the previous savings, it was not a big deal to pay off their family's loan.

The loan was paid off, but they couldn't find enough staff for the time being. The workers who had worked in their family had gone their separate ways, and it would take some time to recruit more people, so Saji simply pulled a few of his comrades and old friends to help. When the lumberyard was on track, they would apply for police service.

Kai and Meatball had no problem with this. Anyway, they wouldn't miss a few days to become policemen. Only Portman was not very happy. Just looking at this guy's face, you can tell that he is not the kind of person who will work honestly to make money. He has always hated this kind of heavy physical labor. In short, he loves leisure and hates work.

Saji also knew who Portman was, so he pretended not to hear his complaints. He picked up a can of beer and threw it to Meatball.

"Here, Meatball!"

Then Saji picked up a can of Dr Pepper and threw it to Kai. This is a niche flavor of cola in the United States, a caramel carbonated drink with a strange taste, a bit like cough syrup with carbonation, and it tastes very sweet and even a little greasy. People who don't like it will want to vomit after drinking it, but people who are used to its taste like it very much. Kai likes it very much. Although Kai doesn't like sweets very much, he likes this kind of cola very much.

Kai took the cola and drank it all in one gulp, then threw the can into the garbage bag. Just as the empty can was put into the bag, someone ran over panting.

"Saji! Hurry! Someone is looking for trouble with your father!"

Upon hearing this, a group of people immediately threw away their work and rushed down the mountain with woodcutters' axes and sticks.

When a group of people drove to Saji's house aggressively, Saji's father was holding a shotgun and warning a group of people.

"Get out of my house, you sons of bitches!"

The old man is already sixty years old, but his temper is not calm at all. → The group of people threatened by him seemed to be well-mannered. "Mr. Vaughn, the conditions we put forward are very sincere. I hope you can consider them carefully. I don't want something that no one wants to see to happen."

These people, although they are all dressed in suits, don't look like good people in any way.

"Get lost! Tell Hamilton that if he has the guts, he can come and try!"

"Hey! What do you want to do by blocking my house?" Sage got off the pickup truck with a big square wood and walked directly in front of the group of people to separate them from his father.

When the group saw Sage coming with a group of strong men, they didn't react too much, but obediently made way.

"Ha, Sage. Long time no see! I just heard that you were back a few days ago. How are you doing? Are you doing well outside?" Unexpectedly, the leader actually knew Sage.

Unfortunately, Sage didn't seem to have any interest in him.

"Enough, McCarthy. I don't want to hear this. You know I'm not interested in you, and my family doesn't want anything to do with you! So stay away from my family!"

The man named McCarthy curled his lips and said helplessly: "Listen, Sage, I don't want to cause trouble. I just come to do a business with you."

Sage was unmoved, and the man looked at Sage and others. In the end, he said nothing and left with his people.

After the group left, Sage's father was still indignant and even spit in the direction where the group left.

Afterwards, Kai knew why Sage's family disliked those people so much. It turned out that his family's lumber mill was in trouble because of them. A long time ago, these people also came to their family and wanted to buy their lumberyard, but Sage's father, Mr. Vaughn, disagreed. Even before Sage came back, they came once. But Father Vaughn still disagreed, and that time, the group seemed to have lost patience.

As a result, something went wrong a few days later. A batch of wood that was originally planned to be delivered caught fire, and even two workers were burned. This caused Father Vaughn to not only pay a large sum of money to the customer, but also lose the order, plus the compensation for the workers. The lumber mill had serious financial problems, and finally could not repay the loan and had to close.

From that time on, Father Vaughn knew that the accident at the lumber mill was definitely related to this group of people. Now that Sage has come back to revive the lumber mill, his father will naturally say anything to make the lumber mill fall into the hands of that group of people.

"These people are Hamilton's running dogs! They are the ones who make the town so smoky! Others are afraid of them, but I am not!"

These are the original words of Father Vaughn. Today, when the town is controlled by evil forces, few people dare to be as tough as Father Vaughn. →This is not because Sage came back to support him, but because he has always been like this. He would rather close the lumber mill than sell it to Hamilton.

…

After driving away these people, a friend of Sage secretly told Sage to be careful. Ford's gang has now become Hamilton's thugs, and many of the bad things in the town are done by them. They will not give up.

Sage was very disdainful of this. In Sage's view, what can a group of gangsters do? If he is really angry, he can just take a gun and kill these bastards!

Unfortunately, he still underestimated these bastards.

The next day, Sage, who was working, was called back by his father. Then he learned that his sister Angel was kidnapped!

This completely pissed off Sage. Kai had something to do that day, so he went back to the city with Meatball and Portman. As a result, Sage went to Hamilton's casino alone, intending to ask them to hand over someone.

And then... there was almost no next.

Sage had indeed been in the special forces for six years, but he was not a superman. It was impossible for him to have a good ending when he went to someone else's lair with bare hands to find trouble. He was beaten up.

That was not all. After being beaten up, he was also sent to the police station by the people in the casino on the grounds of making trouble.

The police station was even more swift and resolute. They investigated the matter "clearly and clearly" in one night. When Kai and the other two rushed to the hospital, Sage was still handcuffed on the bed.

"What's going on?" Kai looked at his old subordinates in surprise. Although Sage was not a superman, he was not so bad that he couldn't even deal with a few gangsters. And even if he couldn't beat them, he could always run away, right? How could he be so miserable?

Sage's nose and face were swollen, and his face was full of bitterness. "They plotted against me."

It turned out that all this was premeditated. As soon as Saji arrived at the casino, the people in the casino had a conflict with Saji. These people had been on guard against Saji. After Saji knocked down a few people, those people directly blinded Saji with lime powder, then rushed over and beat Saji half to death, and finally sent him to the police station.

What's more infuriating is that Saji's sister was not kidnapped at all! His silly sister went home this morning. It turned out that this girl sneaked out of her room last night and ran to the city with a bunch of friends to have fun. She came back after playing all night. As a result, when she came back, she learned that her brother was beaten into the hospital for "saving" her, and was sued.

It was also because of this that Saji's excuse of "saving his sister because she was kidnapped" was not accepted by the police.

Now the casino intends to sue Saji for two crimes of making trouble without reason and wounding. Among them, the charge of wounding is the most troublesome. There were many guests in the casino at that time. When Sage was fighting with the gang of thugs, he was not careful and injured several guests who were consuming in the casino. Now these people and the casino are suing Sage together...

What's more terrible is that these charges are easy to defend. There are surveillance cameras in the casino. According to the surveillance, Sage made a lot of noise as soon as he arrived at the casino, and then he started to get angry, and was finally restrained. No matter how you look at it, it's all Sage's fault.

"It seems that these people are not ordinary thugs." Kai said.

Ordinary thugs don't have this brain. After knowing that Sage was from the special forces, they have no intention of confronting him head-on, but directly play dirty. Now it's good. Not only did Sage get beaten for nothing, but he was also involved in a lawsuit.

"What should we do now?" Portman's face was ferocious, and he made a throat-cutting gesture to Kai. "Do them?"

Kai glanced at him. Fortunately, this guy was by his side, otherwise he would definitely be a desperate person outside.

"It's not that easy. If we kill them, not only will Saji die, but we will also have to flee for our lives."

"What should we do?" Meatball asked. He had no experience with this kind of thing.

"It's very simple. Those guys will naturally come to our door. Let's see what they plan to do then. Let's clear Saji's lawsuit first, and everything will be fine!" Kai didn't want to be so passive, but the problem was that now that gangsters had put everything out in the open, what could he do?

Fortunately, these guys went around and around and did so many things, definitely not just to teach Saji a lesson. After all, Saji and them didn't have any direct conflict. They didn't have to beat around the bush just to beat Saji. They did this probably because they had their eyes on Saji's lumber mill.

"We just watch those bastards threaten us?" Portman was obviously not used to the role they were playing now. When they were in the army, they were the ones who bullied others. Unexpectedly, once they left the army, it was a group of gangsters who bullied them! The contrast was too big.

Kai didn't say anything. These things had to be adapted to. They were in different positions, and the rules they had to follow were different. When they were in the special forces, most of the people they faced were the targets they wanted to kill, so they could do whatever they wanted. But now that they have returned to society, everything must be done according to the rules of society.

While they were talking to Sage, Ford walked into the ward with his men. The police who were responsible for guarding Sage did not make any move towards their arrival, and even took the initiative to leave to make it easier for them.

"Saji...Look, I have said that we are just going to do business. We don't want it to be like this...Forget it, I guess you don't want to hear these words either. I came on the same terms as that day, to sell the wood processing factory. Give it to us. Not only will the price remain unchanged, but the lawsuit against you will also be dropped.”

Ford did not gloat, but put forward the conditions very calmly.

"You're dreaming!!! Even if I..." Upon hearing this, Saji immediately jumped up from the hospital bed in excitement.

But before he could finish his words, Kai pushed him back onto the bed.

"I agreed on his behalf. The wood processing plant can be sold to you." Kai said to Ford calmly.

Ford looked at Kai a little strangely. He didn't know who Kai was, and he didn't understand what qualifications Kai had to say this.

"Second Lieutenant!" Saji seemed even more surprised than Ford, and even called out his title in the army.

"Now you have a lawsuit on your back. We'll wait until the lawsuit is over. You're just a bunch of gangsters. You can kill them at any time!" Kai didn't care about Ford. Instead, he spoke out his plan very generously. After comforting Saji, Kai turned to Ford and said, "What did you say?"

Ford was clearly unfazed by Kay's threat.

He does have this qualification. Now all the people in Jiade Town belong to them. No matter whether they are black or white, they are confident that they can handle anything easily. "Of course, we just want wood processing plants."

"Whenever the casino withdraws the lawsuit, we can handle the handover. Is it okay?"

"Can!"

…

These people acted really fast. That afternoon, the casino dropped the lawsuit. But the gamblers who were injured at the time did not withdraw their lawsuits. The casino would not help Saji resolve these matters, and they had to rely on themselves. Afterwards, Saji and his father, Mr. Vaughn, signed the transfer agreement. Saji used his own money to repay the loan of the lumber mill, so the shareholders of the lumber factory became Saji and his father. Americans attach great importance to private property. If Saji paid for it, he would naturally have shares in the lumber mill. The brothers would settle the accounts.

Mr. Vaughn and Suggi both looked ugly. Saji stopped talking. He never thought he would suffer such a big loss at the hands of a group of gangsters. But Mr. Vaughan is much more complicated. His family fortune that spanned decades was actually taken away in this way. It was so frustrating, but what could he do? Watching your son go to jail?

After getting the transfer agreement, Ford did not leave immediately. Instead, he smiled and said to Saji and Kai: "Our boss is very sorry for this misunderstanding, so he plans to invite a few of them to go to the casino to play together. All the expenses will be counted on us." How about it?”

Kai smiled and said: "No problem, after we finish solving Saji's matter, we will pay a good visit to your boss!"

If Ford had some intention of easing the relationship between the two parties, then Kai's words were too harsh and he obviously intended to make them look good.

"Then we'll be waiting for you." Ford didn't say much, just sneered and left with a harsh word. But he himself didn't care at all about Kai's words, he just said harsh words. People all over the world are the same. For example, when Americans fight, they always shout "I kill you!", but basically no one will take such words seriously. Something happened.

Kai never speaks harshly about things he doesn't know, he only means what he says!
