These days have been torturous, from the rainforest to Medellin, from Medellin to Los Angeles, the length of each stay is determined by John's injuries.

After staying in Medellin for three days, John's wound became infected on the day of their return, and despite receiving an injection of antibiotics, his wound still caused systemic infection.

The illness was simple, the primary infection site was very clear, two gunshot wounds, but even with the best hospital and doctor in Medellin, even with an excessive amount of antibiotics injected into John, they still couldn't treat his systemic infection.

In the end, Frank found a way to rent a plane and turned an ordinary plane into a medical plane, sending John back to Los Angeles.

In Los Angeles, John was on the brink of death several times, but with the best medical conditions, the hospital in Los Angeles finally identified a bacteria through repeated blood bacteria cultures, and then tested several antibiotics, finally using a targeted antibiotic that was not broad-spectrum.

The hospital in Medellin held onto John's life, and finally, the best hospital in Los Angeles, and the best hospital in the world, completely saved John's life.

After the medication was targeted, John's condition immediately improved, and he was supposed to wake up five days after returning to Los Angeles.

John finally opened his eyes, his eyes were lifeless, but after several blinks, he finally said in a difficult-to-understand voice, "No, don't bother with me, I can't take it."

Gao Guang heard the faint voice and suddenly looked up, standing in front of John's bed and urgently said, "Hey, can you hear me?"

John's eyes turned, still confused, but after waiting for a moment, he finally said, "Uh, I'm in the hospital, not dead, right?"

"Yes, you're in the hospital, you're okay!"

Gao Guang grabbed John's arm, he was very happy, so he urgently said, "Great, I knew you wouldn't die."

John's eyes turned around, he saw Frank, saw Rubber and George, and then his mouth curled up, saying, "I didn't expect you guys to be here."

Frank smiled, he wanted to say something, but in the end, he just smiled at John, saying, "Buddy, I'm glad you're alive."

At this time, the doctor came in, so Gao Guang and the others left the ward.

Outside the ward, the joy of John waking up was quickly diluted by the solemn atmosphere.

In just a few days, Frank had a few more strands of white hair on his temples, his face didn't add any wrinkles, but from his expression, he seemed to have aged more than ten years.

"John woke up."

Repeating a useless statement, Frank closed his mouth, hesitated for a long time, and then whispered, "John woke up, so we can roughly determine our expenses, so let's divide the remaining money today."

Gao Guang didn't say anything, but when he looked at Frank, he seemed to show some sympathy.

Frank took out his phone, used the calculator on his phone to press a few times, and whispered, "We have a total of two million and fifty thousand dollars, we spent three hundred and fifty-eight thousand on purchasing items, and forty thousand on renting the plane."

Rubber impatiently said, "Don't bother with these details, just give us the total.""No, it's better to calculate carefully. We spent 7,000 dollars at Madeline Hospital, the charter plane cost 40,000 dollars, and the bill from this hospital is already 463,000 dollars. But John still needs follow-up treatment, and although it will cost less, including the outstanding bills and follow-up treatment, it will cost about 600,000 dollars."

Frank sighed and said, "John doesn't have medical insurance, and the company's personal accident insurance doesn't cover it, so we have to pay for all of these expenses ourselves. The total cost is one million and five thousand dollars according to the investment ratio."

No one spoke. Frank pressed a few buttons on his calculator and said quietly, "I will transfer the remaining money to your accounts according to the investment ratio."

Rubber and George still didn't say anything, but Gao Guang whispered, "Captain, are you really retiring?"

Frank was silent for a moment, then smiled reluctantly and patted Gao Guang's shoulder, saying, "You're a good brother. I really want to continue working with you. You're my best employee, much better than them. But I'm sorry, I don't want to maintain the company anymore. I'm not really cut out for this business."

After speaking, Frank looked at Rubber and George calmly and said, "Are you two going to Warfire Company? Did you tell Danny?"

Rubber frowned and turned his face away, while George whispered, "Yes, we did. We'll go after Caps wakes up. Captain...sorry."

Frank waved his hand and said, "There's nothing to be sorry about. It's my fault. If you had been in Warfire all along instead of staying with King Defense, you wouldn't...you wouldn't...I should be the one apologizing."

Rubber whispered, "We did it for the money. It was an investment, and we just failed. So you don't have to feel sorry for anyone."

Frank nodded and said, "Thank you."

King Defense Company has not yet gone bankrupt, but Frank has decided to sell it before it does.

In fact, when they found out that the location of the treasure overlapped with a guerrilla camp, it was already doomed that King Defense Company would fall apart.

Now what Frank is doing is to make sure John can survive, roughly estimate how much money will be spent, and then immediately distribute the remaining money according to the investment ratio, and everyone will go wherever they need to go.

Rubber and George are going to Warfire Company. They were once members of Warfire and it's normal for them to return to the powerful and familiar old team after failing with Frank's startup. The CEO of Warfire Company is very welcoming of their return.

Frank said he wants to retire, take the remaining money and the money from selling the company to get married and live a normal life.

As for Gao Guang, he is obviously unemployed.

All of this has already been decided and basically confirmed before they returned to the United States. Now, it's just the final nail in the coffin.

Frank and Rubber have nothing more to say, and it would be awkward to say anything more.

Rubber looked at Gao Guang, shrugged, and whispered, "Mad Dog, come to Warfire with us. I am friends with many people in Warfire, and I will speak up for you. You can definitely join them."Frank smiled bitterly and said, "Yeah, go with them to the war. You were born for this job. You can start with a salary of six thousand dollars, even though you're a newbie without military experience, no one will refuse you unless they're crazy."

George glared at Rubber with a blaming look. He thought Rubber shouldn't have said these things in front of Frank. But after hesitating for a moment, he whispered, "Come with us. The brothers are still together. The war only accepts experienced retired soldiers, but I believe you can get in."

Rubber immediately said, "Just tell them about your experience in Colombia. Every team needs a crazy dog. Trust me, as long as you agree, I'll speak up for you right away."

Gao Guang hesitated for a while. Now that Frank was not going, he didn't know what John's next plan was. If John also went to the war company, he would follow. If John didn't go, he probably wouldn't go either.

Although the treasure hunt failed and the four hundred million dollars became a bubble, Frank's team was reliable. They didn't abandon John and were willing to spend money to save him. This team was already reliable.

Sometimes people are willing to risk their lives to help you, but not willing to spend money.

So Gao Guang didn't refuse the invitation of Rubber and George, but he didn't immediately agree. After thinking for a moment, he whispered, "I'll consider it before making a decision. Maybe I'll go back to my country and not work as a PMC."

Rubber was stunned, and then he said in amazement, "Can you find a job that pays more than this?"

Gao Guang didn't have much work experience, but he couldn't find a job that paid twenty thousand dollars a month, let alone six thousand dollars.

So Gao Guang almost immediately wavered. A job that paid twenty thousand dollars a month was more than twelve thousand yuan. He couldn't refuse such a job.

A peaceful and stable life is indeed good, but without money, it's not worth it.

Gao Guang took a deep breath and said firmly, "I want to ask Caps. If he goes, I'll go!"

Rubber opened his mouth, but in the end, he didn't say anything. After shaking his head at Rubber, George said to Gao Guang, "Take your time to consider. Don't worry about Caps' opinion."

At this time, the doctor walked out of John's ward, and Gao Guang immediately went up to him and asked, "Doctor, how is he?"

"He's fine. He won't have any after-effects. Of course, the patient still needs to recover. You can go in now."

The best hospital, the most expensive price, and of course, the best doctor. It wasn't easy to save John's life, but it was definitely worth it.

Gao Guang was eager to go into the ward, but Frank stopped him and whispered, "Don't tell him what happened. Wait until he's completely recovered."

Gao Guang hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay."After he recovers, Gao Guang can't ask John if he wants to go to the war zone, but since Frank has already explained it, Gao Guang thinks it's better to follow Frank's advice. It's obvious that there's more to the situation, so he can't be too direct with John.

The four of them walked into the hospital room, and upon seeing them, John's face was displeased. "Guys, I feel like I've been beaten up many times."

Rubber sneered, "That's normal. You were beaten pretty badly when you were caught."

John lay in bed, but that didn't stop him from struggling to give Rubber the middle finger.

The four of them stood on either side of John's bed, and because of the conversation that just happened, their faces were unnatural and their smiles were forced.

Before Gao Guang could speak, John suddenly asked, "You guys look like you're saying goodbye to a corpse. It makes me uneasy. So, what happened? Hmm... are you two going to the war zone?"

"No."

"Not going."

Rubber and George immediately denied it, but John looked at Frank and said seriously, "They're going to the war zone. What about you? What are you going to do?"

Frank laughed, "What can I do? Continue running King's Defense. Get well soon, buddy. I'm tired doing it alone."

John was silent for a moment and said quietly, "You speak so politely. Are you going bankrupt?"

Frank's smile immediately disappeared.

John sighed, "Okay, everyone, we know each other well enough. There's no need for meaningless lies. I'm grateful that you didn't abandon me, but we have to go our separate ways. Is there anything to hide?"

"I want to retire. I want to get married and live a normal life," Frank said softly.

"You want to get married. What about you two?" John asked.

"Going to the war zone," Rubber shrugged.

John's mouth twitched, and he looked at Gao Guang and asked, "What about you?"

Gao Guang whispered, "I don't know. What are you going to do after you recover?"

"I'm definitely not going to the war zone! I agree with the captain on this," John said firmly.

After that, John dismissed them, but Rubber and the others didn't leave immediately. They chatted for a while and realized that the atmosphere couldn't be cheerful, so they left first.

Then it was Frank's turn. He chatted with John for a while before continuing to work on selling King's Defense.

Gao Guang volunteered to stay behind. In his opinion, John needed someone to take care of him, and as John's friend, it was his duty.

After everyone else left, John asked in confusion, "Why aren't you leaving?"

"I'm here to take care of you."

"We have doctors and nurses. What can you do?"

Gao Guang had no answer, and he smiled bitterly. "Is that how you treat your savior? You haven't even said thank you."

John was silent for a moment and snorted, "Idiot."

"You're not going to thank me?"

John let out a sigh and said helplessly, "If you help me, I'll say thank you. If you save me, I can't just say thank you. You're such a fool if you don't understand that."

It means not to forget a great kindness, and Gao Guang understood immediately. He said, "I won't joke with you anymore. Rubber and George invited me to join the Warfire, but I want to know what you'll do in the future."

John's face became serious. He thought for a long time and finally looked at Gao Guang, saying, "Don't go to Warfire. It's not suitable for you. Your personality and style of doing things are really not suitable for joining Warfire. Warfire is just a company now. There are only colleagues, not brothers. So Warfire is not for you!"

Gao Guang whispered, "But Warfire really pays a lot of money. I want to make money, a lot of money. If I don't go to Warfire, where should I go? Do you have any suggestions?"

John smiled and said, "Don't sell your life cheaply to others. If you want to make big money, do it yourself."
