Within an hour, Mr. Smith's men finally arrived during the 59th minute of the attack. After Renato and Laffronte had been negotiating for a few minutes, Smith's reinforcements arrived. They were fully armed and equipped according to military standards, with the exception of camouflage clothing, and were much stronger than the previous armed security guards because they even brought machine guns and grenades.

Then Renato's troops also arrived, led by a fierce-looking man with four or five people. Although they were all dressed in plain clothes and didn't show any weapons, it was clear that these were the people Renato truly trusted.

As a bodyguard, even a temporary one, Gao Guang had no qualifications to participate in such a big event. As more and more people arrived, including bigger names, Gao Guang and Mike were pushed to the sidelines.

If Renato hadn't stayed out of sight, Gao Guang wouldn't have felt comfortable staying in the living room.

As time passed from the afternoon to the evening and then to night, Renato only came out of the study once to change his clothes and then disappeared again, presumably still negotiating with Laffronte.

Gradually, the outside commotion died down, and the media and journalists left under police control.

Now the outside world must have been turned upside down. This was such a big event that it would be breaking news, and Gao Guang's parents must have seen it too.

Even Gao Guang himself couldn't believe that he was a participant and even a direct witness of this major news event.

He didn't know how it would end.

At around 8 o'clock, Renato still hadn't come out, but he called Robert in, and Laffronte also called in several people. The two big shots still hadn't reached an agreement, and the people below were starting to get restless.

Just when Gao Guang was feeling anxious and bored, he saw someone sneak out of the bedroom.

Sophia came out and, after looking at the crowded living room, walked back in. A few minutes later, her brother came to the living room, scanned the people, and walked straight up to Gao Guang, asking, "Are you hungry?"

Gao Guang was stunned and asked, "What?"

"You hungry? My sister asked me to ask you."A group of people looked at Gao Guang with strange eyes, silently observing him. After hesitating for a moment, Mike whispered behind him, "Hey, brother, we're starving!"

The little boy shrugged his shoulders and then gestured towards Gao Guang, saying, "Then come with me."

Gao Guang felt that the situation was a bit difficult to control.

It wasn't that Gao Guang was foolish or pretending to be aloof. The problem was that he had finally created an image of being loyal to his duty. If he was called away by the boss's daughter to eat, how could he maintain this image?

Did he still want to earn big money from Renato, or was eating more important? This was the choice Gao Guang was facing now.

"Sorry, I can't leave. Mr. Salvini may need to find me," Gao Guang regretfully declined the boy's invitation, of course, essentially refusing Sofia's invitation.

Now this twelve or thirteen-year-old boy basically knew everything. Sofia's brother shrugged his shoulders again and said, "Okay, then you can starve."

The boy turned around and left, and Mike hesitated for a while but ultimately sighed helplessly.

After a while, probably about five minutes, the boy came out again. He was holding a plate and walked directly to Gao Guang, saying, "Sofia said you can eat here."

Gao Guang hesitated for a moment, but he still picked up a triangular sandwich and nodded solemnly, saying, "Thank you."

The boy glanced at Mike, turned the plate around and said, "Here."

There were only two sandwiches on the plate, which were already pitifully small. Mike reached out his hand, but after seeing the proportion of the sandwich to his fingers, he finally cried and said, "No, I'd better not eat."

The boy immediately put the plate directly in front of Gao Guang and said, "Then you finish it."

Gao Guang ate the sandwich without changing his expression, then picked up the second one and looked at Mike, saying, "Are you really not going to eat?"

Mike's face twitched a few times, and he whispered, "No, if I eat, I'll be even hungrier."

So Gao Guang finished both sandwiches because eating two sandwiches was just a way to fill his stomach. For Mike's appetite, eating them would only make him hungrier.

Sofia may have regarded her own appetite as a benchmark.

Next, almost an hour passed, and Rafflent finally left Renato's study with his men. Robert immediately walked out of the study, looking serious, and called Renato's confidants over.

Then, when Robert came out again, he unexpectedly said to Gao Guang, "Hey, buddy, come in for a moment."

Gao Guang was very surprised. He looked at the people sent by Smith and didn't understand why Renato wanted to find him instead of someone who could truly represent Smith. But let's see what Renato wants to do first.Gao Guang walked into the study and saw Renato sitting behind the desk. Renato said directly, "We need to leave here. It's no longer suitable for living. The trouble is Beverly Hills Estates is requiring me to leave as soon as possible. They are afraid that I will be attacked by Grayev again, which will affect the housing prices in this community. Ha, haha."

Gao Guang didn't know how to respond and could only nod and say, "Okay, boss."

Renato said calmly, "The police and FBI will protect me now. I don't need too much peripheral protection. Smith's men have arrived, and twenty people have formed an inner defense line, which is enough. The unit needs reliable close protection, so I want to ask if you are willing to be my bodyguard. Hmm, your people will be under your command."

Your people?

Gao Guang reacted for a moment and then understood what Renato meant.

Renato was treating the people sent by Smith as Gao Guang's colleagues, but the problem was that Gao Guang was not Smith's person and had no right to command them.

But how should he respond? After thinking for a moment, Gao Guang could only say helplessly, "I'm sorry, I can't command them. Besides, I'm not a qualified bodyguard, sir. I'm just a PMC, which is different from a real bodyguard. I don't have the skills of a bodyguard."

Renato said dismissively, "I know you're not a professional bodyguard, but it doesn't matter. I don't need you to take bullets for me. I just need you to take out others in a timely manner."

To accept or not to accept?

He couldn't hesitate forever, but Gao Guang didn't want to be Renato's bodyguard, especially not his personal bodyguard. The reason was simple: once he got on the boat, he might not be able to get off, and once he did something, he might not be able to get out of it.

He would definitely get a high salary, but the problem was that if he took the high salary, he would have to be tied to Renato's boat. However, Renato had personally invited him. If he refused, not to mention the consequences, the loss would be significant.

He had to find a reasonable excuse to refuse. Gao Guang didn't think for long and immediately said, "Mr. Salvini, your trust is my honor. I will do my best to protect your safety until this matter is completely resolved!"

Theft is never good, try looking at [ pawread dot com ].

Gao Guang expressed his intention to leave after the matter was over in a tactful way, and Renato furrowed his brows slightly.

The position of a bodyguard was crucial. Although it had nothing to do with Wei Gaoguang's weight, it was a very close relationship. Compared with a secretary, the secretary was undoubtedly more important in terms of work, but in terms of life, the bodyguard was definitely closer.

Renato wouldn't easily invite someone to be his bodyguard. Sometimes, human relationships were like this. It was difficult to plan to mix with a big shot, but if you encountered an opportunity, even if you just looked at each other, ability was secondary.

Moreover, based on today's performance, Gao Guang was perfect.By protecting Renato's daughter, staying calm in danger, being loyal to his duty, and discovering the traitor, Gao Guang has gained Renato's trust. It would be strange if Renato didn't like him. However, if Gao Guang refused the job, Renato would not choose someone who didn't want to stay with him as his bodyguard. After all, bodyguards need to know many secret things by staying close to their employer. If Gao Guang knew too much in these few days, would Renato kill him to keep the secrets safe?

Therefore, this matter is not easy to handle. Although Renato hasn't said anything yet, Gao Guang immediately added, "There is only one problem. I am not familiar with the people sent by Mr. Smith. We are not from the same group, so I cannot command them."

This sentence is crucial. Gao Guang is reminding Renato that he is not a free man but Smith's employee.

There is no other way. Gao Guang can only push the responsibility to Smith now. Only by doing so can he avoid offending Renato, maintain Renato's good impression of him, and not be tied to Renato's battleship.

Sure enough, Renato nodded regretfully and said, "I thought you were familiar with them. Well, those newcomers... let Danny arrange it when he comes back. As for you... um, you and Mike will protect Sofia and Louis."

Protect Sofia and Louis? Is this the arrangement?

Gao Guang was surprised and delighted, but thinking about it, this arrangement makes perfect sense. Renato is currently in need of capable people, and if Gao Guang performs well, he will definitely be kept. However, he cannot always follow Renato, so following Sofia and Louis is a good choice. He won't be in contact with particularly important secrets, and he won't be too far away either. It's killing two birds with one stone.

This arrangement is perfect. Gao Guang immediately said, "Yes, I will do my best to protect them."
