"What does that damn fat guy mean?"
Luo Ke watched Yang Jie put the coin back into his arms and felt something was wrong.
But he couldn't figure out what the two of them were talking about, so he could only frown and ask Yang Jie:
"You know everything about it."
Yang Jie didn't know how to answer Luo Ke for a while.
In the Akainu team, Rock and Ryan had the best relationship. He didn't know how to make this young man with a somewhat fiery temper accept the possibility that was almost becoming a fact.
What's more, Yang Jie actually still holds a trace of luck in his heart.
After a moment of silence, he asked:
"Do you like Lone Star?"
"Bah! Do you still like it? I can't wait to get out of here quickly."
Yang Jie looked at Ivan again.
"And you?"
"There is no place for us here."
"yes."
Yang Jie nodded.
"But for..."
"Boy."
Before he finished speaking, Richie's old voice sounded from behind.
Turning his head, Yang Jie saw that Ryan had followed Rich out of the car.
"I heard Ryan say that you are a talent."
Richie said when he saw Yang Jie turn around. When he saw his Asian face, his brows furrowed slightly, and then he immediately returned to smiling.
He patted Yang Jie on the shoulder and said vaguely:
"Well done."
He praised Yang Jie dryly and then turned to look at the other two people.
When the two people's masks opened, Richie's face became a little ugly.
The old man glanced at Ryan and said nothing else.
"After you take care of everything, go find Peko."
Ryan nodded and watched Richie return to the car.
"Boss? What are you dealing with?"
Rock looked at Ryan, always feeling that these people were inexplicable today.
"Oh, nothing."
"It's nothing. You and Yang Jie are the same. What happened to everyone today? They all said riddles."
After hearing what Rock said, Ryan couldn't help but look at Yang Jie.
Seeing Yang Jie staring at him calmly, with those calm eyes that seemed to be able to penetrate his own heart, he couldn't help but turn his head away with a guilty conscience.
"Tell me about the reward."
Ryan quickly changed the subject.
"How much do you think you earned this time?"
As soon as money was mentioned, Rock immediately became energetic and put all those doubts behind him.
"Five million?"
Five hundred thousand, equivalent to five thousand old Hong Kong silver coins. Roque knew that this was a big job, so he estimated the price to be much higher.
"No, it's twenty thousand."
"ah?"
Ryan shook his head and couldn't help laughing when he saw Rock's shocked and disappointed expression.
"Old Hong Kong Silver Coin."
This one gasped so much that Rock rolled his eyes in anger.
"Hey, you scared me."
"Walk."
Ryan said, putting his arm around Roark's shoulders and beckoning Yang Jie and Ivan to get into the car.
"Let's stay in Lone Star for the whole day. I'll treat you today. Let's have a good meal and reward ourselves!"
"ah?"
When he heard that he couldn't go back immediately, Roque was a little reluctant.
"Do you still have to stay one night?"
He really hates it here.
"It takes time to prepare money."
"Fine."
The four of them drove behind Peco's motorcade and arrived at Del Rio for the second time at noon.
The first thing Akainu Team has to do is return Lone Star's exoskeleton armor.
"Hey, don't tell me, I really can't bear to take it off."
Seeing the exoskeleton being taken back by Lone Star, Luo Ke smacked his lips and touched Yang Jie's shoulder with some regret.
"This thing is really powerful when you put it on. Our trip was like chopping melons and vegetables and we leveled the base."
"If Mr. Roque likes it, we have models for sale."
On the side, Peco's entourage, who brought everyone to the warehouse, said respectfully.
He knew that these people were Peco's guests, and he also knew that Ryan was Peco's good friend, so he didn't treat these people with the same condescending discrimination as ordinary Lone Star people.
"Although the performance is slightly worse - it is not a military version after all, it is still quite easy to use.
Several companies in Old Port buy just that. "
"Anyone for sale?"
When Rock heard this, he suddenly became interested.
"How much?"
"If converted into old Hong Kong silver coins..."
The attendant raised his head and thought for a moment, then reported a number:
"It's about 50,000 old Hong Kong silver coins per unit."
Speaking of this, the attendant smiled:
"But this is the price for external sales. You are Mr. Peco's guest, so we can give you a discount of 10,000."
Forty thousand old Hong Kong silver coins...
Good guy, the Akainu team has only earned half an exoskeleton in total after going through life and death.
Rock laughed awkwardly and ended the topic.
"Do you sell all these things to external parties?"
After listening to the conversation between the two, Yang Jie asked on the side.
"Yes."
The attendant nodded.
"After all, every family has more or less private soldiers, as well as our private caravans. These people all need weapons."
"How much do the drones and grenade launchers cost?"
“The drone comes with a set of two hundred and thirty old Hong Kong silver coins and comes with twelve spike missiles.
As for the grenade launcher, it costs 80 silver coins each and comes with 18 grenades. "
“Is the price also the same in Old Port?”
"If you are talking about bulk purchasing, the price will be lower. I don't know much about the retail side."
Yang Jie nodded thoughtfully.
Yang Jie's price inquiry made the attendant think that Yang Jie really wanted to buy it. After asking for a long time, he found that Yang Jie had no intention of paying for it at all, which made him waste his time.
After returning the equipment, Team Akainu booked a hotel, paid with the impatient roll of the eyes from the store owner, took the room card, and put away all their belongings.
After finishing all this, it was already past four in the afternoon.
Although he had left Lone Star for many years, Ryan was still quite familiar with the city of Del Rio. He took Yang Jie and the others and drove through twists and turns to a hotel.
"This is it."
Ryan got out of the car and looked at the rusty metal sign with a look of nostalgia on his face.
“Before I left Lone Star, I came here often.
This store had just been renovated before I left, and I remember the signboard was shiny. "
Having said this, he couldn't help but sigh.
“I didn’t expect that even this sign would become like this.”
Yes, after all, more than ten years have passed.
With a chuckle, Ryan opened the store door and led a few people into the store.
The dinner was quite sumptuous, and the dishes were no longer roasted mice or desert worms.
The two-headed cow, a specialty of Lone Star, the white-feathered heron from the southern wetland swamps, and a variety of other dishes...
Served with spices and roasted until golden in color, it will make people appetite.
"Yang Jie, why do you keep such a straight face?"
Luo Ke stuffed a mouthful of beef into his mouth and looked at Yang Jie and asked.
"nothing."
Yang Jie shook his head, silently glanced at Ryan who was as if nothing had happened, picked up the glass and took a sip of beer.
Lone Star beer, brewed from mutated wheat, has a rich wheat aroma, very little sourness, and plenty of bubbles in the mouth.
It tastes pretty good, except for the slightly bitter taste.
After eating and drinking, everyone returned to the hotel.
After watching Roark and Ivan return to their room with full stomachs, Ryan smiled softly.
He turned his head and looked at Yang Jie beside him.
"You seem to be in a bad mood?"
Yang Jie was silent for a moment and did not answer. He just asked:
"Are we going back tomorrow?"
"Um."
Ryan's eyes were a little evasive.
"It's getting late, go back and rest quickly, we have to travel tomorrow."
After saying this, Ryan left Yang Jie behind and prepared to return to the room.
"Ryan."
As soon as Ryan opened the door, Yang Jie called him.
Looking at Ryan who turned around, Yang Jie stared into his eyes and coincidentally said the same words as Richie:
"Don't make a choice you regret."
This was Yang Jie's last ditch effort.
But when he saw the note and a check left on the table early the next morning, he knew that his efforts had failed.
After picking up the note and looking at it, Yang Jie sighed slowly.
In fact, he knew that Ryan's departure was almost inevitable.
But Zhi Gui knew that when it really happened, he still felt unreasonably irritable in his heart.
He laughed in relief and threw the note on the table.
"Idiot."
