Chapter 1182: Hospitality
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Before Christmas, Li Du and his party got on their return flight.
Initially, he had planned to return to Arica right after flying back from the Antarctic.
However, Ivana had a second operation and Sophie was worried that Brother Wolf might not be able to handle it alone.
Since they had not stayed too long in Australia and there was nothing urgent back ho, they remained in Sydney for another week.
Five days after Ivana’s operation, everything was declared to be fine. Then, they started on their return journey happily.
Li Du had work to do when he returned and the five other bodyguards that Brother Wolf had contracted were ready to join them. The five of them had quit their jobs in Germany and just arrived in Phoenix.
Big Ivan had left before them, one week earlier. He had returned to take care of those new elite n that had arrived from Germany.
Brother Wolf had two types of comrades. One type consisted of those who were still serving in the military. As there were all elite n, the military would be very willing to turn them into professional soldiers.
The second type would be those who have left the military and found new jobs. They were also elites and decided to leave the army because they had suffered so injuries, or had a family to feed and the military salary was insufficient.
The first type were mostly officers or soldiers with great potential. The second type were veteran military n who had reached the rank of lieutenant and did not have a high salary.
It was fortunate that Li Du did not need officers. What he needed were those old military n. He had Brother Wolf as the officer and everything would be fine with him managing the others.
Those new n were also involved in bodyguard roles back in Germany. It was their best option to raise their salaries. Of course, they deserved to be highly paid.
Li Du had doubled or trebled their previous salary. In addition, each of them would have forty-five days of paid leave. Hence, those n did not have reservations about quitting their jobs to join Li Du’s team.
Besides, they had been willing to co over as they had trust in Brother Wolf. To be bodyguards, they had to be always ready to shield their boss from gunshots. It was a dangerous job.
Hence, being a soldier was similar to being a bodyguard. They needed to be supported by trustworthy teammates.
Brother Wolf had gathered his old comrades and they all could draw a high salary while working with their old partner. Hence, they were all happy to join.
The plane landed in Los Angeles again this ti around. Out of habit, Li Du went to attend a warehouse auction and managed to find a large-scale event.
However, he was not as lucky as before. There was nothing exceptionally valuable in the seventeen warehouses. Hence, he auctioned for a warehouse that had a full set of Siens ho appliances. He estimated that he would be able to gain a profit of ten thousand.
As Hans was not around, Lu Guan and Big Quinn were to clear up the warehouse. The two of them would be responsible for dealing with the warehouse company.
Li Du drove back to Phoenix and when he returned to the villa, there were a few big n standing out the house.
Most of them were slightly older than Brother Wolf, all around forty years old. They were in good shape and all were at least 1.85 ters tall. Their average high was close to 1.9
ters.
The G9 Frontier Brigade had strict requirents for the height and weight of the soldiers. They considered the ideal height to be 1.9 ters.
“Black Bull Adolf Arthur, Madman Bart Bex, Vampire Bob Bin, Whirlwind Charles Bradley, Feminine Amanda Engels,” Brother Wolf pointed to the n to introduce them to Li Du as they drove. “They are all good n.”
Confused, Li Du asked, “That guy is nad Adolf? Are there still people nad Adolf in Germany? Don’t they prefer to avoid associations with Hitler?”
Brother Wolf said, “In German, the aning of Adolf is ‘noble wolf’. Many people give their children that na.”
Li Du got off the car and, under the lead of Big Ivan, the row of n bowed to greet him.
From external appearance, Li Du was pleased with them. He trusted Brother Wolf’s information on them and arranged for him to lead them and get to know them better.
Brother Wolf was not soone to mix business and private matters. If those people were trouble, he would not hesitate to tell Li Du.
Having just t his five new underlings and only being back for two days, Li Du received another phone call. He was surprised at the identity of the caller. It was one of his classmate from college, the secretary from the committee of back then, Su Nan.
The classmates often chatted with each other in the chat group. However, due to the ti difference, Li Du hardly participated in the group chats and so he had drifted apart from his classmates.
Additionally, most of his college mates stayed in China and worked in the sa city.
Every year, they had at least one to two opportunities to bump into each other. As for him, he was at the other end of the world, in Arica. He had no chance to get together with his classmates and it was another reason why he drifted apart from them.
As for Su Nan, although he was in Arica, Li Du seldom spoke to him over the phone or texted him. Hence, their relationship was not particularly close.
Once Li Du picked up the phone, Su Nan’s foxy voice rang out. “Hey, poet, what are you busy with? It’s been a while, do you miss your tough and rough brother Nan?”
Li Du sighed. “Miss you to death. All these tough n are around . Every ti I go to the toilet, I bring along so many of them, they remind of you, little toothpick.”
Su Nan pretended to scold him. “D*mn you, let’s talk about sothing serious...”
“You have anything serious?” Li Du was surprised.
Su Nan said, “Alright, buddy. You’re now a seasoned person in Arica. Alright, alright, you’re cleverer and stronger. You win, okay?”
Li Du was confused. Su Nan was not acting like his old self.
As the secretary of the committee, Su Nan was one of those who spoke in flowery language. He was cunning, eloquent, and had never lost out in a debate.
Li Du said, curious, “Are you really Su Nan, the trumpet? It can’t be that soone is trying to imitate his voice, right?”
Su Nan said bitterly, “Who would want to imitate ? Besides, you can et if you’re suspicious.”
Li Du asked, “Where are you? Still in Philadelphia?”
Unlike him, who had only been accepted into a lousy university, Su Nan’s results had been much better. To put it more accurately, Su Nan was a top student. When Su Nan had applied to be a research student at the University of Philadelphia, he had been accepted at once.
The University of Philadelphia used to be known as the Philadelphia Textile School.
Although that na was very old-fashioned, it was a powerful school. It was a famous private university in Pennsylvania.
Su Nan said, “No, I’m in Phoenix. That’s why I just said that we can et. You’re in Phoenix now, right?”
Hearing that he was in Phoenix, Li Du perked up.
Su Nan had always been doing research in Philadelphia and did not have much spare ti. Li Du had also been busy due to work and hence, they had had no opportunities to et up.
Hearing that Su Nan was in Phoenix, Li Du said, “Give your address and wait for . I will arrive very soon.”
Su Nan said, “No hurry, I’m free now. I can wait a few days, it’s no issue.”
Li Du ca to a realization. “Oh, you’ve graduated? Congrats, well done!”
Su Nan said in a bitter tone, “What’s there to congratulate for? Forget it, you can co over first. Let’s have a chat, I need soone to talk to.”
