The morning sun wasn't too hot yet, so it was comfortable to wear a two-piece outfit while working outside.

Gao Guang walked towards the edge of the cliff and looked down. The cliff wasn't too steep or high, at most three or four stories high. The bare rocks could be climbed, but falling from there would definitely result in death.

Although it was said that someone was down there, Gao Guang couldn't see anyone.

Grant also looked down, then looked up at Gao Guang and smirked.

Mike stood next to Gao Guang and looked down. When he realized he was only one step away from Gao Guang, Gao Guang instinctively stepped back and made room for him. But Mike unconsciously moved closer to Gao Guang and said, "It's not that high."

Gao Guang stepped back again and said, "Hmm, it's not that high, so someone might climb up. We need to be vigilant."

Mike moved closer to Gao Guang again and whispered, "We can earn a thousand dollars just by standing here for a day. Isn't that... too easy?"

Gao Guang stepped back again and hesitated for a moment before leaving the dangerous area near the edge of the cliff. He said, "Don't ask questions, just stand here for a day and see how it goes."

Mike rubbed his chin and said thoughtfully, "I understand."

"What do you understand?"

"Rich people are afraid of death, and our boss must have encountered something very dangerous to need us to protect him in such a safe place."

Gao Guang was speechless and finally said, "What you said... is really nonsense."

Grant hesitated to speak, looking uncomfortable. Gao Guang asked, "What do you want to say? You can speak freely when the employer is not here, and you won't be penalized."

Grant snorted and said, "I'm thinking, do you even know what you're doing?"

Gao Guang really didn't know what he was doing.

But as the boss, how could he show that he didn't know anything? So he just chuckled and acted as if he knew everything but wouldn't tell them.

But Mike didn't know, so he immediately asked, "What are we doing? Aren't we protecting someone? It's obvious that we're security guards."Grant sneered again, but didn't say anything.

Mike urged, "Just say it already!"

Grant looked disdainfully at Mike. He didn't look too bad, but with his hairstyle, scruffy beard, and eye-rolling, he became very annoying.

Mike immediately became angry and clenched his fists.

Gao Guang said indifferently, "If you have something to say, say it quickly. If not, forget it. And remember, talking too much will result in a deduction of pay."

Grant snorted again and looked at Gao Guang. "In my experience, no boss likes to see their subordinates doing nothing and chatting together."

That's a problem. They can't spend $7,000 a day just to hire three people to chat in their backyard.

Gao Guang realized this problem, but he really didn't know how to slack off during work hours and still look like he was working diligently.

At this point, he couldn't pretend anymore and had to ask someone with experience.

"So, how can we make it look better?"

Grant didn't put on any airs anymore and gestured with his hand. "Stand in a triangular formation. Even if someone wants to shoot at us, they can't hit all three of us at the same time. And we only need to defend one side, so we have to make sure we can see both corners of this line at the same time. You stand here, and you stand over there."

Grant pointed to Gao Guang and Mike and arranged them into an obtuse triangle. He and Mike stood in a straight line at the edge of the cliff, while Gao Guang stood closer to the middle but not far from the other two.

"Okay, this position and this distance. Don't face each other. Boss, you look towards the middle of the cliff, I'll look to the right, and you, Black Brother, look to the left. This way we can ensure that there are no blind spots in our line of sight, and it's easy to support and cover each other. When our employer looks out the window, they'll see us standing guard at the edge of the cliff and feel that their money is well spent."

Although Grant had a sharp tongue and loved to show off, he did have some knowledge.

The three of them stood in position, looking dedicated, and could chat freely now.

Grant stood confidently and said, "Our boss must be Renato, it must be him!"

Gao Guang was surprised that Grant was actually right. He hesitated for a moment, then spoke seriously, "Our mission and employer are confidential. I can't tell you."

"Come on, I don't know anything.""I don't believe it. You have to tell me more."

"Renato and the Russian gang are in conflict. The Russian gang wants to take down Renato, and Renato needs someone to protect him. Who in the LA underground circle doesn't know about this? Do you still want to keep it a secret from me?"

Gao Guang didn't want to keep it a secret, he simply didn't know. After hearing Grant's words, he was both surprised and happy, but still calmly said, "Do you really know the inside story? I don't believe it! This is a secret that only a few people know."

Grant raised his head and said, "Don't I know? The Russian gang wants to buy Renato's garbage disposal plant, but Renato refused to sell. So the Russian gang negotiated with him. When the negotiation failed, the Russian gang warned Renato. Renato got angry and killed the son of the Russian gang leader. Now the Russian gang wants to kill Renato. Am I right?"

Gao Guang had no idea. He didn't know if what Grant said was true or not.

"Where did you hear these rumors?"

Grant tilted his head and said disdainfully, "You think it's just a rumor?"

"Well, even if it is."

Grant was proud and said, "The Russian gang is very powerful. Although they are few in number, they are fearless. Renato killed Gryazev's son, and Gryazev vowed to kill Renato's whole family. Now, the Russian gang is not showing their faces and is determined to retaliate against Renato. And I heard that..."

Mike was curious and asked, "What did you hear?"

Grant didn't say anything. Mike was itching to know and said, "Come on, tell us!"

Gao Guang cleared his throat and said, "What else did you hear? Let me see if you're right."

Grant was proud and said, "Gryazev was going to launch a comprehensive attack on Renato's business, but the FBI intervened in time to stop the Russian gang. Then Gryazev was taken by the FBI for investigation. Who wants to see a large-scale gang fight in Los Angeles?"

"Oh, I see. And then? And then? What does this have to do with us?"

Mike was also very curious. Without Gao Guang asking, Mike asked for him.This time Grant didn't beat around the bush. He got excited and immediately said, "Graff is also under FBI surveillance, but although he doesn't dare to do it himself, he has money. It is said that he spent ten million dollars to hire a professional killer. So, unless Renato and Graff reach a settlement, we can make some money. I estimate that Renato will have to spend money to hire us to protect him for at least two months. Boss, how long did you sign the contract for?"

Gao Guang sighed lightly and said, "Hmm, it's a trade secret, can't say."

Mike was both surprised and happy, "So we can work for two months? That's great! I can earn... sixty thousand dollars!"

Mike said the amount out loud and even calculated the total for two months correctly, which was rare. But Gao Guang's face sank and he immediately said, "Mike! What did I tell you? You are not allowed to disclose your salary casually! Deducted, you only have eight hundred today!"

"I..."

Mike immediately lowered his head, while Gao Guang whispered, "Grant, do you think our job is dangerous?"

Grant sighed lazily, "Dangerous? What danger can there be? As long as Renato doesn't leave this building, what danger can we have? This place is Beverly Hills. Would the Russian gang dare to come knocking? Even if they really hired a killer, what killer can get to us? Look at our position, we are on the top of the mountain, there is no higher position than us, so there is no sniper position. Can the killer disguise and sneak in? Impossible. This is not a movie. Finally, the killer can't launch an air strike, nor can they bomb with missiles or use cannons to bombard. This is not Syria or Iraq. So the money is safe and sound."

It made sense, very reasonable. The money was indeed easy to earn. The deal introduced by Mr. Smith was comfortable to work on.

Just then, Grant whispered, "Come on, everyone move to a different position. Don't always stand in one place. We maintain a parallel formation. Boss, you should at least bring a rifle. As a security contractor, it's too perfunctory of you not to have one. How will the boss think when he sees it? Are you at ease with the money you make?"

"Okay, I'll buy a rifle when I go back."

Grant was shocked, "You don't even have a rifle? How did you become a PMC? Okay, you must have some backdoor deals. Tell me, how much bribe did you give to the person in charge here?"

"Is that something you should ask?"The three of them moved to a different location, and Grant said, "Let's walk around a bit. Standing still all the time is tiring. Remember, when doing this kind of work, we should walk around often. The boss will be happy to see it, and we'll feel more relaxed."

It's good to have an experienced hand with them. Walking back and forth slowly is indeed more relaxing than standing still.

Now, Gao Guang began to think about what kind of rifle he should buy. This job is easy and enjoyable, so he can invest in some gear. At least it looks like it, and the boss is happy about it.
