Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
In this country, there were no rcenaries, they were illegal. Only in other countries, especially war-torn areas, would there be rcenary groups with impressive backgrounds.
Chu He asked in return, “What’s strange about it?”
“Aren’t you afraid of death?”
“If I were, I wouldn’t have made this my profession. However, being unafraid of death doesn’t an that you want to die. Everyone wants to live well. If you don’t want to live, it’s easier to throw yourself into the river.”
Becoming a rcenary was for survival. rcenaries were paid handsoly. Generally speaking, a starting salary of 100,000 yuan was sothing that many people could only dream about in that era.
It would be reasonable to think that Chu He should have accumulated quite a bit of wealth over the years. She had indeed saved up a small fortune. After being a rcenary for more than three years, she had accumulated millions in assets.
However…
In addition to daily expenses, she had bought an apartnt in San Francisco and later donated it to a refugee charity. When she was in Interpol, her salary was much lower than when she was a rcenary. Subsequently, after she had gone missing, the organization must have thought that she was dead, so they might have canceled her account.
She no longer cared about those assets. It was rare for Chu He to talk about the past. For so reason, after getting their marriage certificate today, she felt rather emotional.
In the past, leading such a peaceful life was not sothing that she had even dared to imagine.
Now, she had a husband in-na, a child – a complete family. What she had never dared to dream of had happened.
“It might have sothing to do with my circumstances growing up.” She looked out of the window with a calm expression. “Ever since I was young, the country that I was born in had countless wars and disputes. At a young age, I experienced a huge change. My family was destroyed and I was holess. I boarded the humanitarian rescue ship that ca from Arica and arrived safely. In the beginning, I was a rcenary because I wanted revenge.”
“Revenge?”
“I wanted to beco stronger so that I could maintain peace, and when I beca strong enough, I would kill my enemies. However, after I grew up, I realized that the rebel organizations that destroyed my family were long gone. Hence, my wish beca just to maintain world peace.” As Chu He spoke, she was amused by her childish thoughts back then, and by the fact that she had such an innocent childhood.
“Isn’t it funny? When I was young, I thought being a rcenary was a sacred profession. Because in many war-torn countries, besides peace keeping troops, the ones who fought against many rebel organizations were rcenaries hired by the country. I was rescued from the flas of war by a rcenary, and wanted to be a brave person just like him when I grew up.”
However, after she grew up, she realized that the world was a complicated place and not as simple as she thought. The strong preyed on the weak. There was no place for the weak to survive.
The organization that they had originally thought of as a righteous organization was rely a joint resistance ford as a result of the incompetence and abusive powers of the governnt.
As for the troops that claid to be righteous, they were not doing it for the country’s own benefit. They did it to obtain the local oil and gas resources, and were just invaders.
Hence, she left the rcenary group and joined the Interpol..
