Chapter 21 – Like this and like that

Pitt had a bold idea.

"Let's kill the boss of the Seta Group?" Frank was scared by this bold idea and exclaimed, "Are you crazy?"

Pitt was determined and said, "I'm not crazy. The Seta Group would never expect someone to strike back at them. They want to catch me and find out who killed his brother, but they won't be prepared for a counterattack. That's our chance to kill him!"

Frank pondered deeply and then asked, "I don't understand. You're safe now. Just go back to the US and change your name. You don't have to come back to Tijuana. Why do you have to kill Juan? That's not your style."

But Pitt had a reason to kill Juan. He said with a fierce expression and a tone full of hatred, "They caught my partner here and found out my address in the US. My family is not safe anymore. I can abandon my investments and industries here, but I can't let my family be in danger. If Juan doesn't die, my family and I will have to live in the shadows forever. I don't want to wander around with my family. I don't want this kind of life!"

From the root cause, this idea was not wrong, but Gao Guang couldn't think of a reason to follow Pitt and take the risk. For them, Pitt was the root of the problem.

But it was difficult to handle Pitt's attitude of having nothing to lose, as they couldn't guarantee that he hadn't made any arrangements to ensure that he wouldn't be considered a problem to be solved urgently.

Gao Guang couldn't think of a solution, but after hearing Pitt's reasons, Frank was extremely surprised and asked, "You have a family?"

"Of course, who doesn't have a family!" Pitt replied.

Frank waved his hand and said anxiously, "I can't understand why you told your partner about your family."

"We've known each other for a long time. He agreed to cooperate with me because he knew my situation," Pitt explained helplessly.

Frank couldn't help but laugh, and then he asked curiously, "Well, it's true that killing Juan is the most fundamental way to solve your problem, but there's a question. Why should we join you in killing Juan?"

"I can't find anyone else now, and I can't afford to pay someone to kill Juan. You're already involved, and now we're in the same boat. Let me be clear, I've told a reliable person about your identities. If I die, this person will inform the Seta Group," Pitt said bluntly and shamelessly. "Your company is in Los Angeles. If Juan knows your name, King Defense Company won't be able to continue. Are you willing to give up everything with me? Are you willing?"

Frank nodded and said, "Well, this is indeed a problem."Pitt whispered, "So, let's work together to kill Juan. The goal of the Seta Group is to make money. No matter who takes over as the leader, who will be willing to avenge the dead Juan?"

"That makes sense, but there's a question. How much money can you give us if we help you kill Juan?"

Pitt didn't hesitate, "I can sell my property in the United States, which is worth at least $500,000. I also have assets worth at least $500,000 in Tijuana. So, I can give you $1 million. It will take no more than a month, and I can definitely give you the money."

Frank nodded, "Your so-called family is just an excuse. Your partner died, and you can only stay in Tijuana and inherit your partner's legacy by killing Juan. That's why you have to kill Juan."

Pitt was silent for a moment, then said with a gloomy expression, "Isn't $1 million enough?"

Frank smiled, "A million dollars is a lot, but it's not a lot for killing the leader of the Seta Group. So, a million dollars is not enough."

Pitt waved his hand, "Let me repeat, Captain, we are all on the same boat."

Frank didn't hesitate to say, "No, we are not on the same boat. Pitt, you are a middleman, and I am a mercenary. Most importantly, have you forgotten who my boss is? My boss has only retired, but his influence still exists. And my boss is willing to exert some influence to protect his old subordinates. Even if the Seta Group knows that I killed Sanchez, what can they do? Do they dare to come to the United States to make trouble for me? So... what makes you think you can come on my boat?"

Gao Guang had been observing Pitt and noticed a slight sweat on his neck.

Pitt was scared. Frank's words scared him.

After Frank mentioned the former leader, Pitt seemed to have finally realized that Frank had a backer, and he didn't. So, his trick of dragging others down with him lost its effect.

Frank got what he wanted and laughed. He said calmly, "Show us your sincerity, or else... hehe."

Pitt didn't hesitate to say, "I'll give you half! We'll split all the profits, which will take a little time, but you can get at least $3 million! "

Three million? Three million dollars? Gao Guang's heart skipped a beat.

Pitt continued, "Pay attention, it's at least $3 million! If there's more, you can get $5 million. My partner has been operating in Tijuana for many years and has a fortune of tens of millions. After he dies, I can take over the market he left behind. This is a long-term income. So, what do you say? Do you agree?"

Frank seemed to be tempted. Rubber wanted to speak, but Frank stopped him and leaned forward from the front seat to look at Pitt.

"It sounds fair, but if we want to kill Juan, we have to do it ourselves, and you can't do anything. We were forced into this and have to bear all the risks, including the possibility of people dying. We might lose someone, or even all of us might die. And you want to take half?"

Pitt didn't hesitate to say, "Who said I can't do anything? I'll be the bait!"

"You'll be the bait?"

"Yes, I'll be the bait. Only then can we have a chance to kill Juan. Captain, I'm also risking my life. Why can't I take half?"Frank pondered for a moment before nodding. "Alright, I agree to split it evenly. But we need to discuss further. If we all agree, then the deal is done."

Pitt let out a sigh of relief. "Okay."

Frank turned to Rubber. "Stop the car and let him out."

The car stopped, and Pitt got out. Frank whispered as he watched Pitt stand about ten meters away from the car, "Do you think this deal can be done?"

A quick look at "paw𝑟ead.com" will leave you more fulfilled.

John couldn't wait to say, "Of course it can be done if we really get three million! With three million, we can...that's enough, let's do it!"

George whispered, "I don't really trust this guy, but three million dollars...let me think about it. Let's do it!"

Rubber also whispered, "It's very dangerous, but the money is too much. I can't refuse."

After everyone had spoken, Gao Guang remained silent. At this moment, John nudged him with his elbow and urged, "Speak up, what's your opinion?"

Gao Guang was taken aback and pointed at himself. "Do I also have to express my opinion?"

Frank nodded. "You're involved, so of course you have the right to express your opinion."

Gao Guang sighed and whispered, "I don't really know how you guys usually do things, I don't know how strong the Seta Group is, and I don't know how dangerous it is to take down Juan. I don't know what to do, and I'm worried about what will happen if Juan doesn't die."

It seemed like Frank and the others all treated Juan as a dead man, and Gao Guang was quite puzzled. "If we take action but can't kill Juan, then the situation will be different. We will become mortal enemies with the Seta Group, and it will be a fight to the death. So, I want to know, what if Juan doesn't die?"

John immediately said, "You don't have to worry about this."

"Oh? Why?"

"As long as we take action, if Juan doesn't die, we will die. There's no need to worry about what happens after we die."

Gao Guang was stunned for a moment, then he whispered, "Okay, then...can I also get a share?"

Frank whispered, "Yes, you can get one-fifth. We split evenly in this kind of mission."

Gao Guang scratched his head and said, "I have another question."

John impatiently said, "Why so many questions?"

Frank sternly said, "Caps, shut up and let him speak."

Gao Guang whispered, "Sorry, I want to know if we need to stay in Tijuana to supervise Pitt if he has to raise funds there and liquidate the partner's estate before paying us. If everything is based on credit, how good is Pitt's credit? If he runs away with the money, can we find him? Well, actually, it's just one question. Can we get the money?"

John was taken aback and turned to Frank. "Yeah, can we get the money?"

Frank nodded. "You asked a very crucial question. If we really kill Juan and want to get the remaining payment, we can't kill Pitt. So he'll be safe, and then he'll have too much time and opportunity to run away with the money. And we can't search for him all over the world. That's Pitt's plan."

After hearing Gao Guang and Frank's conversation, John was stunned for a moment, then he said dejectedly, "It's too complicated. What's the point of doing it if we can't get the money? Let's just forget it. We can ask the boss to mediate. The Seta Group won't retaliate against us, right?"Frank said expressionlessly, "That was to scare Pitt, so he wouldn't think he had us figured out. But don't forget, the boss and the Seta Group have no relationship. If the boss has to step in to mediate, he'll have to rely on someone else's connections and relationships. How much will he have to pay as a result? If we need money, are we going to ask the boss to pay for us? Besides, the boss has been retired for a long time. We can't always ask him to help us out."

John sighed, "So we've been dragged down by Pitt."

Frank took a breath and said, "I have an idea. Let's do this..."
