Gao Guang just wanted to establish a name, a name that sounded grand. As long as it didn't sound like "mad dog", it would be fine.

But all of this was ruined by a fat guy, and this fat guy knew Mike.

Was it fate, a twist of fate, or was there a mole among them?

When Gao Guang saw Jilsen kneeling and begging for mercy, he didn't say anything. He just turned his head slightly and looked at Mike with a slightly resentful look in his eyes.

Mike lowered his head in shame, unable to meet Gao Guang's gaze.

But Jilsen misunderstood the meaning behind Gao Guang's glance. He cried and said, "Mike! Mike! Please help me, ask the mad dog to spare me!"

Gao Guang sighed softly and raised his hand, speaking gently to Jilsen, "Stop crying. I won't talk about what happened today, but if you do, don't blame me."

"I won't say anything, I definitely won't!"

"Next, you should continue doing what you were doing as if nothing happened. Can you do that?"

"I can! Of course, I can!"

Gao Guang had nothing more to say. Jilsen still had some use, but after learning about the existence of Ronnie, the convenience store owner, Jilsen, as a small peddler, was no longer the priority to deal with. So Jilsen had to be put aside for now.

Jilsen definitely wouldn't dare to speak recklessly, so Gao Guang looked at the fat guy, David.

Francesco had a gun in his hand, which he had taken from Jilsen.

Regardless of whether David was obedient or not, as soon as he saw Gao Guang looking at him, he immediately raised the gun and aimed it at David, then took big steps towards him.

He pointed the gun directly at David's forehead. Francesco turned his head and looked at Gao Guang, making a gesture that he would open fire immediately if Gao Guang gave the signal.

Jilsen, Mike, and Francesco all kept their mouths shut. David widened his eyes and said in extreme panic, "I didn't say anything."

Mike, with a look of reluctance, said, "Boss, David is my friend. He... he won't talk nonsense, right David?"

After a moment of panic, David also knelt down with a thud and hurriedly said, "I won't say anything, I really won't! Even if you kill me, I won't say anything!"

Gao Guang waved his hand gently, and Francesco immediately put away the gun.

Mike whispered on the side, "I know David. I know where he lives and I know his mother. Boss, he definitely won't talk nonsense."

"If he's your friend, then forget it."

Mike's face had to be saved, and besides, Gao Guang was a legitimate person. He was here for business research. How could he really kill someone to keep them quiet?

Gao Guang stood up and said to the four people kneeling on the ground, "Today's matter ends here. The rest is between me and Ronnie, the convenience store owner. If you insist on getting involved, don't blame me for being impolite."

With a wave of his hand, Gao Guang started walking out. After Gao Guang and Mike left, Francesco wiped the fingerprints off the gun expressionlessly. Then he gently placed the gun in front of Jilsen and walked out without looking back, closing the door behind him.

The four people returned to the car, and the atmosphere inside the car became heavy. After a moment, Mike whispered, "Boss, about today's matter..."

"Deduct your salary!"

Gao Guang took a deep breath and said seriously, "Deduct half of your salary for this month!"

"What? Four thousand yuan! Boss, are you really going to deduct four thousand yuan from me?"

Francesco said with a dark face, "Moles must die."

Mike anxiously said, "I'm not a mole. I've known David for a long time. I just told him that I was going to work at King Defense. At that time, I didn't know that I couldn't say these things. No, I didn't say anything specific, I just said I was going to work at King Defense. How can that be considered as being a mole?"

Gao Guang angrily said, "You won't be deducted for saying you're going to work at King Defense, but you will be deducted for calling me a mad dog. Damn it! How can I establish a reputation in the underground world of Los Angeles if you don't watch your mouth? Don't talk about the company's affairs to anyone."

"Okay, I'm sorry. I won't talk to anyone about it anymore."

Mike accepted the punishment because four thousand yuan was not a large sum of money for him, but it did make him feel a bit hurt.

John, with a curious expression, asked, "What happened inside? Did the negotiation go smoothly?"

"It went smoothly. We discovered some new information. Do you know Ronnie, the convenience store owner?"

"I don't know, I've never heard of him."

Gao Guang pondered for a moment and said, "Ronnie, the convenience store owner, should have a criminal record. Tell Walton to check it out. Only by resolving the matter with Ronnie can we have a chance to continue."

After saying that, Gao Guang looked at Francesco and said, "You did well today. We don't have much experience negotiating with thugs, but you opened up the situation."

Francesco immediately said, "Boss, I feel that you don't have the aura of a gang boss, nor do you have enough authority. You can't be too polite when talking to those small-time thugs, or they will look down on you."

Speaking a bit too bluntly, Gao Guang helplessly said, "How could I have the aura of a gang boss? Not long ago, I was just an unemployed translator, a rookie. How could I have the aura of a gang boss? Besides, I haven't negotiated with thugs before, let alone had any experience dealing with the mafia."

Francesco had a serious expression and said, "It's okay. I know what the bodyguards around a gang boss should do. I will help you establish the aura of a gang boss."Except for not being very talkative, Francisco performed well in everything, so it was not enough to just praise him verbally. Gao Guang straightforwardly said, "I'll give you a bonus of 2,000 yuan. If you continue to perform well, I'll give you a raise."

Mike felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, but he also admitted that Francisco could handle today's matter, so he didn't say anything.

"Is it convenient to talk now?" Gao Guang took out his phone and called Walton. After waiting for Walton to say it was convenient, he immediately whispered, "Do you know a person named Ronnie from the convenience store?"

"Never heard of him, who is he?"

"His nickname is Convenience Store, his name is Ronnie. I don't know if it's his real name. He's a fence, around thirty years old. He seems to be quite famous. He started robbing with guns at the age of thirteen and now he is the biggest fence in Los Angeles. I think you should have his information."

"Understood, I'll give you the information tonight."

With the support of a big tree, it's easy to enjoy the shade. With just a phone call, they could obtain information. It felt great.

"What should we do next?"

John suddenly spoke up. Gao Guang thought for a moment and said, "I don't know, it seems like there's nothing to do. Let's go back to the company and take a break."

"If there's nothing to do, why not go for training?"

Gao Guang was speechless, and John continued, "150,000 dollars! What have you learned?"

"We've learned a lot. Mike and I are basically qualified infantry now. He's focusing on practicing combat skills, and I'm practicing marksmanship."

John looked puzzled and said, "It's been less than three months, and you've only completed the basic training. You should strengthen your training next. You will learn the tactics of special forces, not real special forces, but at least you will know how they fight. Why aren't you learning the next course?"

"It's not that we're not learning. It's just that there's no time. We will complete the next course."

John said seriously, "Do you know the difference between you and those thugs? And those gangsters, what is your biggest difference?"

"Well, I... haven't thought about it."

"We can fight better. Give a thug a gun, and they will think they're powerful. But is that the truth? The truth is, I can easily take down a few armed thugs. If you want to establish yourself in Los Angeles, if you want to easily crush and eliminate those gang members when facing them, you must have real strength."

Gao Guang didn't know why John brought up these things, but he said seriously, "It's still morning, you still have half a day. Even at night, you can still train. So I don't know why you think there's nothing to do today. Thompson is a very capable instructor. He taught you the basics. Are you satisfied with that? Buddy, what are you thinking?"

Gao Guang felt a little ashamed because John made sense. So he straightened his attitude, became spirited, and said, "Shall we go for training now?"

Francisco looked puzzled and said, "We just finished our business. Do we need to train right away? Is it necessary to be so diligent?"

John sneered, "Today, when I saw you guys standing at the door like a bunch of thugs, knocking on the door and entering, I didn't see any cover, and I didn't see you using what you learned in the training camp. You guys are too unprofessional. As a commando, if it were me in that building, I could take you three down in an instant."

Francisco looked unconvinced and said, "Brother, I'm also a retired soldier. Of course, I know how to assault a building. But today, we came for negotiations, it's the gangster way, not a battle. Do you understand?"

John spread his hands and said, "So you're giving up your advantage and lowering yourself to the level of thugs for negotiations? Why can't we just use our absolute strength to break in like adults beating children?"

Francisco was speechless and looked to Gao Guang for help. Gao Guang said, "Caps is right. Our biggest advantage against those thugs is that we can fight better. We are a defense company, and we need to demonstrate our professionalism."

"The boss is right." Francisco said seriously to Gao Guang, "Just like adults beating children, your words make sense."

John angrily said, "I said that! Also, let me remind you, isn't Ronnie from the convenience store the boss now? He won't listen to you unless you defeat him. So forget about negotiating and think about how to use force to deal with him. There are only four of us, and we want to defeat a gang with dozens of people. So, go for training!"
