Gao Guang had never been so excited in his life.

The three of them eagerly watched Gao Guang as he finally got into the car. Mike immediately welcomed him with a trembling voice.
"You finally came! Let's split the money!"
Mike's eagerness was undisguised. He rubbed his hands together and looked at Gao Guang with extreme anticipation.
Gao Guang waved his hand and asked, "How much money is there?"
"I don't know. I didn't open the bag. I was afraid that I couldn't resist taking the money and running away, so I didn't dare to look."
Mike was honest and cute, while John said, "It doesn't matter how much money there is. It's not as much as what I dreamt of anyway."
John couldn't forget the treasure in Colombia, but Antonio was different. He calmly said, "It's not more than two million dollars. It's probably around one million five hundred thousand dollars."
Mike curiously asked, "Didn't you count it?"
We were in such a hurry back then, how could we have time to count the money? John just casually said it, so that Mike wouldn't take some bundles and hide them for himself.
Mike wasn't stupid, but he lacked social experience. John and Antonio were both astute, and they were the only ones who followed the rules. Otherwise, it would be normal for Mike to take the money and divide it secretly.
Gao Guang opened the bag and said, "One hundred thousand dollars per bundle, 1, 2, 3..."
Seventeen neat bundles, one million seven hundred thousand, and some scattered bills, ten thousand per stack, a total of six stacks.
"One million seven hundred and sixty thousand, forty-two thousand five hundred each for everyone, plus these loose change, forty-four thousand each."
Gao Guang decided how much salary to give, but when it came to dividing the spoils, he was afraid to suggest taking more, fearing that he would be shot down.
Mike and John opened their mouths and muttered while counting on their fingers. Then Mike took out his phone and was about to open the calculator when Antonio suddenly said, "That's right, forty-four thousand each. You calculated it quickly."
Gao Guang didn't say anything because his math skills were learned from his physical education teacher, so he didn't want to boast about his math skills and be laughed at by elementary school students in China.
John sighed and said, "Forty thousand is not bad."
Mike suddenly held his phone and said, "It really is forty-four thousand! Boss, you're amazing."
Gao Guang helplessly said, "Can we stop talking about this? Everyone will get tired of it. Alright, is everyone okay with this distribution?"
They were all seeking wealth, so no one wanted to cheat each other. But Antonio wanted to say something but held back, and he secretly glanced at John.
John said calmly, "No, let's just follow the rules."
Antonio relaxed his eyebrows and smiled, "So you really don't understand the rules. I was wondering why it was evenly distributed. I have no objections to following the rules. It's better for everyone to follow the rules and have fewer problems."
Mike anxiously said, "What are the rules? No, what are the rules? I should get some share, right?"
John shrugged and said, "The rule is that the boss always gets a larger share, not much, just a little more! The mad dog is not the boss, but he is the initiator, the one who takes on the mission, the one who gathers us, and the key to us getting this money, so he should get a larger share."
Mike was unhappy and frowned, "Who said the boss is not the boss? What are you guys trying to do?"
Antonio opened his mouth and said, "Do you think we are street thugs? Of course, he is not the boss. We just came together temporarily. How can he be the boss? But it's only right for him to take the money according to the boss's rules. I have no objections."
Gao Guang shook his head at Mike and said, "Alright, I am your boss, not theirs. Well, how should we divide it?"
John shrugged and said, "The boss gets a larger share, that's the rule. Or you can call it the initiator, organizer, leader, whatever you want. It means the same thing."
Mike asked, "So the boss gets one-tenth more?"
Antonio smiled bitterly, "That's not one share. Come on, don't you guys understand? One share is one share. There are four of us, but the money is divided into five shares. Do you understand? The boss gets two shares, and the rest of us each get one share."
"Wait, I don't understand. Does that mean I get... forty percent?"
Gao Guang himself felt that it was quite excessive to take almost half of the money. It didn't seem right. Would his subordinates rebel?
"But that's the rule." John spread his hands and said, "Nine people divide into ten shares, one hundred people divide into one hundred and one shares."
Antonio said, "That's not how it works. How can everyone be eligible to share the money? Usually, the boss and the leader get a share, and then they distribute the money to the subordinates."
John angrily said, "Now there are only four of us, so it's divided like this. I'm just giving an example to the mad dog. Do we have to divide the money per person in a mercenary group? That's a salary. This is dividing the spoils. Can they be the same?"
Gao Guang raised his hand and said, "Don't argue. I'll take forty percent this time. Each of you will take twenty percent, right?"
John nodded and said, "That's the rule. Unless we agree on each person's share in advance, but for this temporary windfall, it's divided like this."
Gao Guang calculated and whispered, "So, forty percent of 1.7 million is 680,000. I'll take it myself?"
Mike had already calculated it on his phone and said happily, "Boss, you calculated it so quickly. It really is 680,000. You're so good at math!"
"Shut up! Stop with the jokes!"
Gao Guang was tempted, but he felt it was inappropriate, not pretending, but genuinely feeling it was inappropriate.
"Is it inappropriate for me to take this much?"
John immediately shrugged and said, "If you think it's inappropriate, then take the money and distribute it to us again. But according to the rules, you have to take it like this."
Antonio nodded and said, "That's right. It's a common rule. Actually... um, we all think this distribution is fair because usually, the boss says how much to give to the subordinates, and those who use this distribution method are considered good bosses. I used to work under a boss who would only give us 100,000 if he took 1 million. Well, that's how it is."
Scratching his head, Antonio said somewhat embarrassedly, "Of course, if you want to give me more, I don't mind."
Mike was still calculating and muttered, "If I take one share, it's... Boss."
"340,000, plus this loose change, it's a little over 350,000."
Mike opened his mouth wide and said eagerly, "I can accept going from 425,000 to 350,000. I can accept it! Fuck! Am I rich now? Am I a rich man?"
Gao Guang sighed and then smiled, "Alright, I like to do things according to the rules. Let's divide it like this."
They started dividing the money. Gao Guang took seven stacks without hesitation. He should have taken 700,000 plus 4,000, but he decided not to take the loose change.
After dividing one bundle of money, each person received 353,300. There was one extra bill left for Gao Guang, and everyone was happy with the fair distribution.
Gao Guang had the most money, so he put his money back into the bag. John looked at it and said, "Put my money in your bag."
After hesitating for a while, Mike finally said, "Me too."
Antonio smiled bitterly and said, "Guys, I've made a fortune with you. I admit that it's just luck, but I can't take this money with me. So, please help me keep it safe. It would be best if you could help me launder the money and give it back to me. Of course, I understand the rules, and I'll pay you twenty percent for the service."
Once again, Gao Guang touched on his knowledge blind spot. He said cautiously, "Launder money?"
John helplessly said, "This money has an unknown origin. Would you dare to deposit it in a bank?"
"Um..."
Gao Guang and Mike looked at each other blankly, and then Mike suddenly asked, "So, how do we launder it?"
Antonio suddenly said, "I know a pretty good guy. His fees are reasonable."
John immediately said, "No need, we have a suitable channel. Just wait for the money."
After saying that, John looked at Gao Guang and said, "What are we going to do next? What's the new mission?"
Gao Guang's face suddenly turned ugly. He sighed and said helplessly, "We're out of a job. Mr. Sanevill's job is gone. A daily wage of twenty thousand, gone."
Antonio suddenly said, "Twenty thousand a day?"
Gao Guang realized that he seemed to have leaked business secrets, so he quickly said, "The salary for the three of us."
"But I only make twenty thousand a month."
The atmosphere became awkward, but Gao Guang didn't let the awkwardness last too long.
"We got twenty thousand a day yesterday, and today it's gone..."
Antonio sighed in relief, "That's fine. I feel much better now."
Gao Guang's mood was complicated. "Now the situation is that Grayev has run away, and today we happened to kill Grayev's cannon fodder. It's unlikely that Grayev will continue to assassinate Mr. Sanevini. And Mr. Sanevini no longer needs so many bodyguards. Then I took out the bills and receipts I found, and then the mission changed. Danny took over the contract to kill Grayev."
After finishing, Gao Guang spread his hands and said, "So Mr. Sanevini will hide in a place where no one knows and wait for the Warfire Military Group to kill Grayev. That's how it is."
They received a huge sum of money, but lost their high-paying job. Gao Guang felt that it was not the right time to bring up this clue.
Antonio suddenly said, "You've discovered a new clue. Isn't there any reward?"
"Well, that's the problem. Since Mr. Sanevini gave all the contracts to kill Grayev to the Warfire Group, it should be the Warfire Group that pays me for the intelligence or reward. But I'm not part of the Warfire Group, I'm with the King's Defense. And the Warfire Group has no reason to give me a reward or intelligence because I gave the receipts to Mr. Sanevini."
John knew Danny's character and sneered, "Don't worry, you won't be working for nothing. Danny is very considerate in this regard."
Gao Guang was not concerned about the reward, but rather whether they would continue to make money.
"Well, now that the Warfire Group has received the contract to kill Grayev, they will subcontract many small tasks. Danny asked me if I wanted to participate." After saying that, Gao Guang whispered, "Go to Tijuana. You must keep this a secret and not tell anyone. Also, we leave today."
John suddenly looked at Antonio and said, "Do you want to join us? You've seen it, we are very capable of making money, and our team is great. We are united and will never abandon our teammates, let alone shoot our comrades for money. What do you think?"
Antonio was stunned for a moment, then he sighed and said in a low voice, "I know too much. I can't leave..."
"I see." John pondered for a moment, then immediately said, "Then you go. We need to discuss some business secrets."
Antonio glared at John with hatred, then he whispered, "I want to take my money with me. If you're going to Mexico, I don't want to lose my money."
It was clear that Antonio wanted to stay with Gao Guang, but unfortunately, he was too deeply involved and couldn't get off Renato's ship. When Gao Guang was still working for Renato, he could follow Gao Guang, but now that Gao Guang and the others were out of a job, he naturally had to go back.
Seeing Antonio leave with hundreds of thousands of dollars wrapped in a piece of clothing, Mike suddenly said, "I'm happy when I think that he has over three hundred thousand dollars because I have it too. Hahaha, hahaha..."
No one laughed at Mike's joke. John said to Gao Guang, "If there's anything inconvenient to say, say it now."
Gao Guang whispered, "Now there's a one million dollar reward for Grayev's exact location. Whoever kills Grayev will get ten million dollars! It's not from Mr. Sanevini, it's a secret reward from the Warfire Military Group."
John thought for a moment and said, "I don't think today's events are that simple. What do you think? Could it be that Danny intentionally let Patrov escape? How could they let Patrov escape when several cars were chasing the armored car?"
Gao Guang smiled bitterly, "I also had this speculation, but I don't think it's likely."
"Why not? Danny definitely wants to turn Renato's short-term mission into a long-term one. How much did they negotiate in the end?"
"I don't know, but Renato was willing to pay one billion. He said it himself, pay after seeing Grayev's body. But Danny refused and demanded a prepayment from Renato. I don't know the specific amount."
John scratched his head hard, feeling very distressed, "Grayev's life is not worth one billion, but since the Warfire Group has taken over, it's hard to say. I don't want to have anything to do with Danny, but I think Patrov should also go to Mexico."
Gao Guang whispered, "Danny invited me eagerly because I can speak Spanish. This... I've decided to participate!"
"Do they give a prepayment?"
"One hundred thousand dollars. Danny said he would only give us a prepayment, and this prepayment will be considered as a reward for finding the clue. This is the maximum within his authority."
John sneered, "Let him help us launder the money. We give him our money, and he transfers the exact amount to our personal accounts, after-tax income, with his own reasons. He can't just dismiss us with the prepayment. If he agrees, then we'll set off."
Gao Guang looked at Mike.
Mike seemed a bit confused, but finally, he reacted and said, "Am I going too? Do you want me to go? Then can I use a gun in Mexico?"
