As manufacturing began to move outward, the middle class in the United States began to weaken. Duke's neighborhood used to be a middle-class community, but as the economic situation became increasingly weak, the community began to transform into a relief area. → This made Duke, who used to live here, feel very uncomfortable. Ten years ago, this was a very warm community with a good atmosphere between each family in the community, but when he came back, everything was different.

Every young man on the street looked sneaky, looking at other people's cars and wallets with eyes that made Duke feel very uncomfortable.

Today Duke originally planned to invite several of his high school classmates to his home for a BBQ, but when he prepared everything, a phone call came that one of his classmates was robbed by a group of young people on the way to his house, and was stabbed three times in the stomach. Now he is being rescued.

So Duke and a group of friends stayed in the hospital all day, but fortunately they were out of danger in the end. When he left the hospital, it was already seven o'clock in the evening.

At this time, he remembered that his daughter hadn't eaten yet...

To be honest, Duke himself felt that he was a bastard and had not fulfilled his father's responsibilities at all. When he rushed to the door of his house, he found that the lights in the house were on and there were voices inside, men's voices.

Almost as a first reaction, Duke wanted to draw his gun. But when his hand reached his waist, he realized that he had left the army long ago, so where did the gun come from?

Without time to think, Duke immediately picked up a baseball bat from the chair on the veranda and rushed in!

But when he kicked the door open, he found that his daughter was sitting at the dining table, enjoying a steak. He looked up when he heard the sound of kicking the door, and found that it was his father. At the same time, a figure came out of the kitchen with a steak in his hand.

"Soldier, do you always use this method to enter your own home? No wonder you are still so miserable after taking millions of severance pay... It costs a lot of money to repair the door."

The person who spoke was naturally the male protagonist Kai.

Kai arrived in Washington this afternoon. He did not go to the hotel arranged by Margaret, but went directly to Duke's address. But when he arrived at his house, he found that this guy was not at home. It's nothing, just blame myself for not notifying him. Just when Kai was about to call him, Duke's daughter came out.

"Yes! Sir! Sorry! Sir!" Duke stood at attention and greeted Kai reflexively the first time he saw him.

"At ease, soldier, we have left the army." Kai waved his hand and put the steak in his hand on the table. "You haven't eaten yet, come and join us."

"Yes!" For some reason, Duke was very accustomed to this way of getting along. He even felt very relaxed.

Kai ignored him. He could see that Duke had not yet changed his mindset. He was no longer a soldier, but a civilian. This is probably a kind of mental illness, right? Kai didn't plan to talk about this in front of the child, so he skipped Duke and asked Duke's daughter Emily Kyle directly. → (Duke's original name was John Kyle, but people who knew him called him Duke)

"Emily, how is it, my Wellington steak is not bad?"

Emily is a very cute child, with a round face, big eyes, and a standard American cuteness. She also wears a pair of small glasses and likes to read books very much. It's hard to imagine that her mother is such a jerk.

Emily's mother is a very beautiful woman. Duke met her on a bar trip. After one night, the woman and Duke fell in love. But it turns out that most of this so-called love at first sight is just lust, both for Duke and her.

They were sweet for a short time after marriage, and then Duke started to do missions all over the world, and this woman began to be restless. She took Duke's money and fooled around everywhere. Every time Duke found out, this woman pretended to be pitiful, and even turned the tables, saying that Duke didn't care about her, only went on missions, and never accompanied her. In short, this woman's palace fighting skills are very high, and she played Duke around.

Their marriage didn't get better until their daughter Emily was born, but this woman didn't plan to divorce, just stuck with Duke, and Duke couldn't bear to let her go. So this woman began to be unscrupulous. As soon as Duke went on a mission, she threw the child to Duke's mother and went around happily. This also caused Emily to grow up with her grandmother even though she had both parents.

Finally, when Duke leaves the army, this woman may covet a large severance pay, divorce Duke directly, and ask for Emily's custody.

Duke is of course not happy.

As a result, Emily proposed a deal. If Duke gave her a large sum of money, she would give up custody and even visitation rights.

So... that's why Duke is so poor now.

"It's delicious!" Emily smiled sweetly. Duke is undoubtedly outstanding as a soldier, and he is also good as a male companion. This guy has always been popular in bars because he can do striptease. He also has a stage name, Magic Mike. But as a husband and father, he is undoubtedly very bad. It's not that he lacks a sense of responsibility. Most soldiers don't lack this thing. It's really that he is not delicate enough and has no ability to take care of a child.

So Emily can only be regarded as ensuring food and clothing, and the rest... I really think too much.

This is the best meal Emily has eaten since her grandmother passed away. Duke can't cook at all except baking bread and making instant food in the microwave. It's okay to eat that kind of thing once in a while, but it's really a test for people to eat it for a long time.

After finishing the last bite of beef, Emily was very obedient and put away the plates and washed the dishes by herself. Not only that, she also helped clean up the kitchen and threw out the garbage. She was just an angel.

Kai was eating while looking at Emily, thinking that Duke was a bastard.

After doing everything, Emily was going to help put away Kai and Duke's dishes and wash them, but Kai stopped her. He looked at Duke with squinted eyes.

Duke had been with Kai for five years, so he naturally knew what he meant, so he immediately stood up and put away the dishes, and then went to clean up.

Let Emily talk to Kai.

"Kai, are you really John's superior?"

"Of course! I have been his superior for five years." Kai said with a smile. Sometimes the more sensible a child is, the more distressed he is. A child under six or seven years old is so sensible. Is she born with this? Don't make fun of me!

There is only one possibility, that is, the children of the poor have grown up early!

"Is John really the best soldier as he said?" Emily asked impatiently.

Kai smiled as he looked at the little girl waving her arms in front of him, feeling that Duke, this bastard, was so lucky.

"Of course, he is the best. My soldiers are the best, and they can only be the best."

Emily was very interested in Duke's military career and kept asking all kinds of questions. Kai also liked to say yes to her. Generally speaking, Kai doesn't like children very much, because children's logic is very strange, they are active and noisy. But Emily is different, a little angel!

Bah!

You lied to me about having a daughter again!

...

Around ten o'clock in the evening, Emily couldn't hold on any longer, so Kai asked Duke to hold Emily to take a bath and go to bed, and he himself took a bottle of beer and ran to the eaves of the porch and sat in Duke's rocking chair, drinking it mouthful by mouthful.

Half an hour later, Duke finally came out.

"Is Emily asleep?"

"Well..." Duke felt that his boss was going to lecture him again.

"Duke... you disappoint me." Kai certainly had to scold him, Duke's current state was really bad. It was not like the state a grown man should be in at all. Work is a mess, and life is even more messy.

You can't imagine how bad Duke's home is.

Kai can't stand it!

As a person who can fold the quilt into a tofu block, Kai will never allow the environment he lives in to be so dirty and messy! So Kai can only roll up his sleeves and clean up Duke's house. Oh my God, can you imagine how many years Kai hasn't cleaned the house himself?

As a result, he came to Washington to clean up for his soldiers... It's amazing.

This is not the most important thing. If Duke lives alone, Kai doesn't bother to care. At most, he won't go in, and wait for Duke to come back and force him to clean up himself!

"I'm sorry, sir." Duke didn't know what was wrong with him. He just felt that everything had gone wrong since he retired from the army.

"I'm too lazy to say anything else. Just treat it as your negligence, but why leave Emily alone at home? Don't you even have the money to hire a nanny?" This kind of nanny is not a full-time nanny, but a part-time nanny like in many American dramas, such as a high school girl?

This kind of part-time nanny's hourly wage is not high, even if Duke is poor, he can afford it.

"I..." Duke was speechless. He really hadn't thought about this question at the time.

"You should know what the environment is like near your home. If something unexpected happens, who can you be responsible for?" Kai's tone was not fierce. If there was a reason, he would speak the truth. There was no point in shouting loudly.

Next, Kai began to scold Duke and comfort him at the same time, just like in the army.

About half an hour later, Kai felt that it was almost done.

"What are you going to do in the future? You can't be decadent like this all day long. You still have Emily."

"I... have already got an interview opportunity." Duke said with courage.

It's not Duke's fault that he can't find a job. After all, he didn't go to college and went to a community high school for high school. Most of the high schools in middle-class communities like this are public middle schools, which advocate happy education. The so-called happy education is to let students not feel pressure, to let them study according to their interests, and not to judge success or failure by scores.

It looks beautiful, but in fact, a large number of poor students like Duke are produced. What is his interest?

Of course, it's playing!

Anyway, Duke graduated from high school, didn't learn anything, and joined the army, and stayed in the army ever since. In addition to killing and setting fire, dismantling bombs, and assembling guns, he can't do anything else. In this case, what can he do? What job is suitable for him?

"What job?" Kaido asked.

In the United States, most people actually hate others caring about their personal affairs, but comrades are an exception.

"I submitted my resume to the Secret Service." Duke said honestly.

Puff! ! !

Kai spit out a mouthful of beer.

"Secret Service?" Kai looked at Duke in surprise. The Secret Service is not an ordinary department. Their review is extremely strict. For Duke's situation, Kai really doesn't think highly of him. It's not that Duke is bad... It's really... How did he get out of the army, have you forgotten?

Beat up the superior and beat the superior into intensive care... If there were no guarantors, he and Kai would have to go to military court.

Duke shrugged. He knew that he did have a stain. And it was very serious. But he still wanted to try. After all... after all, he saved the president, right?

"Emily... likes the White House very much and knows the history there. I also feel that I can't do anything else except this ability."

Kai nodded. If you ignore the military, the Secret Service is indeed a very good place to go. First of all, the treatment and benefits are good, and secondly, it is safe and has a regular work and rest schedule.

Some people say that the Secret Service is supposed to protect the president all the time, right? How can it be safe? And have a regular work and rest schedule? How is that possible?

You are wrong to think so.

The Secret Service has a heavy responsibility and a difficult task, which is true.

But the problem is that the Secret Service is not a small department. The Secret Service has a total of 3,200 agents and 1,200 uniformed employees. It is a very large organization. Even if someone like Duke enters the Secret Service, he can't expect to see the president so soon.

He is not qualified yet. Perhaps it will not be Duke's turn to protect until President Benjamin leaves office.

The really important work is done by others, and the department is very large. How can Duke be busy?

So this is indeed a good place to go.

Kai thought about it and felt that this matter was not impossible to operate. After all, Benjamin brought him here to place orders for tens of billions of military sales. In this case, it would not be too much to ask him to help so little, right?

"I know. I will think of a way."

"Boss?" Duke widened his eyes and looked at Kai in surprise.

"What? Look down on me?" Kai asked unhappily.

"No, no, it's just that it's the Secret Service!"

The Secret Service is definitely a key department. The special nature of their work means that they are destined to be exposed to a lot of secrets. Therefore, correspondingly, the supervision of all aspects of this department will be very strict. If this can go through the back door, how much power it will have.

Kai looked at him like this and threw out an invitation letter unhappily.

Duke opened the invitation letter and was also shocked.

He looked at Kai.

Kai adjusted the collar of his shirt and said arrogantly, "Now, I am also a big shot!"

Duke thought of the recent media reports on his boss and suddenly became excited.

"Boss, what are you going to do?"

"What do you mean?"

"How are you going to get me into the Secret Service?"

"Of course I'll go directly to the President and his wife." Kai said as a matter of course: "I only know them."

Duke didn't know if this would work, but he thought it should be reliable.

"By the way, you and Emily went with me that day. Doesn't Emily like the White House? It's just right that she can be my female companion." Kai remembered what Duke had just said.
