New Gods of North America

Confirm the time limit and remuneration amount of the commission,

The security mission has officially begun.

Miss Harrison was still with the family doctor, guarding the steel merchant's bedside.

Wayne and his companions began to act separately.

Two of the four bodyguards who arrived before Wayne and his men were actually guarding outside the "master bedroom" where Miss Harrison was at the moment.

So after leaving the room, Wayne started chatting with them briefly.

It turned out that the four of them seemed to be bounty hunters, who had formed a temporary team to come here to accept the commission, and had been here for three days.

The two knew each other before, so they acted together.

As for the one who took the lead at the beginning, he and another companion were now guarding downstairs outside the "master bedroom" window.

Two guard inside, two guard outside.

It feels a bit professional.

So Ryan and Willy stayed outside the door for the time being.

After telling the housekeeper about her request, Inissa took Doug and a servant to "scout" the main house of the manor.

Wayne and Lina followed the butler out of the main house and went to the yard to discuss with the one who seemed to be the leader among them how to work together for security.

"Hey, here comes a pretty boy and a blonde 'candy'."

As a result, after arriving here, the other party turned his head to look at Wayne and Lina after listening to the housekeeper's explanation, and said these words in a vulgar tone.

If it were among acquaintances, this might be a teasing with a hint of praise.

But when you say it to strangers, it refers to those people who work in special industries and have good looks.

The smell of rejection is strong.

After Lina heard this,

He then revealed a simple and innocent smile that fits people's stereotype. His big eyes widened a little and he blinked twice, as if he didn't understand what the other person was saying.

Wayne shook his head silently at Lina.

Based on his understanding of Lina, if this pretty girl cursed back directly, it might not be a big deal.

But if you act like this, you're probably going to trick people...

Wayne was not at the point of putting on a harmless expression to the other party, and his attitude was just businesslike:

"We are the new bodyguard team. Miss Harrison said that the specific security matters will be decided by us through consultation.

"If we agree, we'll let the employer know then."

The other party waved his hand at Wayne as if shooing away a fly, "We don't need anyone's cooperation, just stay away and don't get in the way."

"It's fine for both sides to act separately. But there are some key areas that we also need to supervise. At least we should have basic consultations to avoid affecting each other," Wayne said.

This commission is paid for "afterwards".

What if you guys are not careful halfway through and our work is wasted? That would be unacceptable.

"Get away. Don't disturb us while we're working." The other party showed an expression as if he didn't want to continue to pay attention to him.

Everyone comes out to work.

Your unwelcome and uncooperative attitude will cause trouble to others.

Wayne turned his head and looked at Lina.

This guy is really hard to communicate with.

…

Life is like this a lot of the time.

Some things may seem difficult, but in fact it may just be that you haven’t found the right method yet.

Therefore, even though Wayne had already signaled in advance, he still pointed the gun at the other party first, and then put the revolver away again.

The person who was originally difficult to communicate with seemed to have finally become easier to communicate with.

When another bodyguard standing not far away saw this scene, he looked at Wayne who was looking over, but he didn't seem to have any intention of helping his companion fight back.

Of course, it may also be related to the fact that Lina has pointed the gun at him.

The leader of the other party took off his hat and pressed it on his chest, "So you are also professionals. I was rude."

America is so magical sometimes.

When communicating with some of these people, you need to be subtle and polite, otherwise it will not be "civilized" enough;

However, when communicating with another group of people, you need to be simple and straightforward enough, otherwise you may not have a chance to be civilized.

Wayne shook his head. "It doesn't matter. It's all work. Our goals are the same, and our compensation probably won't affect each other. It's not a relationship that requires mutual exclusion."

The other party seemed relieved at this time, and then nodded, "I think so too."

"In that case, we should now discuss how to cooperate with each other, right?"

"certainly."

After that, the other party explained the situation to Wayne in general.

The leading bounty hunter calls himself Clint.

As a bounty hunter who was relatively familiar with the local area, he said that he actually had some understanding of Miss Harrison's half-brother.

According to Clint, based on the character that the gangster has always shown, he is definitely capable of doing something that would be detrimental to Miss Harrison.

That's why he was hostile towards Wayne and his companions who suddenly appeared at the beginning, thinking that there might be subordinates sent by that gentleman to disrupt the situation or try to commit murder.

He wanted to try to drive Wayne and his men away, or at least keep them away from Miss Harrison.

Wayne thought for a moment, "So you don't doubt us now?"

"If you were someone who wanted to commit murder, you would have taken the opportunity to chase us away."

Clint said this with a self-deprecating smile, "And judging from the level you two have shown, your other companions are probably not too bad either. If you want to take action, you don't need to disguise yourself as bodyguards. Just find an opportunity to act."

So after both parties have tentatively chosen to trust each other,

Wayne and Clint roughly agreed on the framework of cooperation - generally speaking, the two groups would act separately, but at some key locations, both sides would arrange people to guard.

Both cooperate and supervise each other.

The reason why Wayne chose to believe the other party's story was also very simple.

They have been in charge of security in this manor for three days. If they really wanted to take action, the client would have been dead long ago.

…

Then at night,

It was for the first time that Wayne met Miss Harrison's half-brother, Philip Blake, who was said to be nicknamed "The Governor."

——As an illegitimate child who grew up in a single-parent family, Miss Harrison, who seems to be closer to her biological father now, does not use her father's last name.

This young master nicknamed "Governor" is about thirty years old and looks really aggressive. It is said that he has become the second in command in a local gang.

Considering his background as the son of a wealthy businessman, it is hard to tell whether we should praise him for his youthful success or say that he is not doing his job properly.

But anyway,

Although everyone seemed to think that he would attack Miss Harrison, as the only legitimate surviving heir of the owner of this family, he could come and go freely in this house until there was real evidence that he had committed a crime.

You can even bring a "friend".
