Chapter 414: Here, Even Zero-Dollar Shopping Requires Paying Taxes

The death of Gacha was like a bucket of ice water poured over the heads of these people.

In an instant, no one dared to act rashly.

Chen Jiajun looked at the crowd with a smile: "Right, where were we... Oh, right! It was about intimidation!"

"I am a person who rarely goes to other people's territory to cause trouble, and even if I do, I am willing to follow their rules. But some people don't understand that, thinking that because they have guns in their hands and a bit of dirty money, they can act unscrupulously!"

"So, for people like this, I think they should be taught a lesson, don't you agree? Mr. Pablo!"

Pablo's expression was very ugly; the earlier "resistance" had been suppressed without mercy, and their men had still not broken in, clearly having been blocked by someone.

Explosions continued to ring out inside the hotel, letting Pablo know that this group of people was truly not simple.

However, he did not regret what he had done in Hong Kong, because he needed to launder money.

To turn those drug trafficking funds into legal funds, because he needed to wash his reputation clean.

Now it was too late to say anything; Chen Jiajun clearly wanted to use him to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys.

So Pablo calmly faced Chen Jiajun, showing off the eloquence he was proud of: "You can kill me, but you won't make it out of Medellin! I am loved by the people here, I am their savior, and every blade of grass and tree here will not let you go."

"Perhaps... we can talk about something else! I will treat today's events as if they never happened, immediately withdraw the people from Hong Kong, and then give you a sum of compensation!"

Hearing Pablo's words, Chen Jiajun suddenly laughed: "Mr. Pablo, I quite admire your eloquence. No wonder you were able to go from a small border smuggler to one of the most famous drug lords in all of South America."

"However... I said, I am here today to intimidate everyone, so... sorry!"

As he spoke, Chen Jiajun picked up the handgun handed over by his subordinate and shot him in the knee.

Before Pablo could react, he screamed and fell to the ground.

Then Chen Jiajun fired three more shots in succession, hitting Pablo's shoulder and his other knee, making his face twist in pain.

"You bastard, you will go to Hell!" Pain gave Pablo strength, and he roared at Chen Jiajun.

Chen Jiajun said disdainfully: "As a drug dealer, do you think you could enter Heaven? Wait for me in Hell! I will kill you again there!"

After finishing, Chen Jiajun shot Pablo in the forehead, and the blood left an abstract painting on the pristine floor.

Having dealt with Pablo, Chen Jiajun said to his imp slave subordinate: "How did the filming go?"

The imp slave chuckled: "It's practically an art film! Boss!"

"Screw you!" Chen Jiajun said irritably.

After glancing at the recorded video, Chen Jiajun nodded with satisfaction, then said to the few remaining drug lords: "Alright gentlemen, our unpleasant experience can be considered over!"

Hearing that Chen Jiajun did not intend to kill them all, everyone couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.

Especially Ochoa; as one of the oldest families in Colombia, he was almost unaffected.

This also had to do with his cautious personality.

Chen Jiajun looked at Ochoa and said: "Mr. Ochoa, you should be able to handle those men outside, right?"

Ochoa was silent for a moment and said: "You killed my business partner; it is impossible for me to let you go."

"Oh?" Chen Jiajun said with great interest: "Mr. Ochoa, are you not afraid of death?"

Ochoa said indifferently: "Your actions have already created a blood feud in Colombia. Even if you kill me, you won't be able to escape Colombia. The Gacha and Pablo families will hunt you down with all their might, no matter where you are!"

"Hahaha!" Chen Jiajun suddenly laughed out loud: "Who said I planned to escape? I dared to come and find trouble with you, so I definitely understand you! At worst, I'll finish you off before I leave. You don't think we really can't get out, do you?"

Faced with Chen Jiajun's confidence, Ochoa fell silent.

He could see that Chen Jiajun was not someone looking for death, and he must have researched the three of them before coming.

Even so, he still dared to slaughter Gacha and Pablo on the spot, which showed that this guy truly did not care about their threats.

Before Ochoa could decide how to face this guy Chen Jiajun, Chen Jiajun threw out another trump card.

He said to Ochoa: "I heard before that you were going to establish a 'Kidnapper Terminator' to deal with kidnappers, right? Was it for your sister?"

"That's right, what do you know?" Ochoa said hurriedly.

"What if I told you that I have already rescued your sister?" Chen Jiajun said with a smile. Hearing Chen Jiajun's words, Ochoa's eyes widened instantly.

He originally wanted to say it was impossible, but thinking of Chen Jiajun's methods, he closed his mouth.

After a moment of silence, Ochoa said: "If you can really bring my sister back, I will help you smooth this matter over for now, but I won't care if the Gacha and Pablo families come looking for trouble with you later!"

These guys in South America, just like the people of Huaxia, value their family very much.

Chen Jiajun smiled and said: "Don't worry, you don't need to care! So we have reached an agreement? "Deal!" Ochoa said: "When will you bring my sister over?"

"After you have calmed things down!" Chen Jiajun said indifferently.

Since he dared to come, he had already made preparations.

As for who went to handle this matter, did that even need thinking? Naturally, it was Barney and the others from the Expendables! The day Barney was prepared to take his people away, Chen Jiajun already knew that Ochoa's sister had been kidnapped by the M19 organization.

Chen Jiajun went to try and understand this organization; he originally thought they would be some warlords, but he didn't expect them to be a bunch of nobodies.

In this way, things became much simpler.

After Chen Jiajun offered Barney and the others a price they couldn't refuse, the previous small conflict was no longer a problem.

These guys went off happily to do his bidding, finding the whereabouts of Ochoa's sister.

He believed there should be a result by now!

Ochoa looked at Chen Jiajun with a suspicious expression and said: "Are you sure?"

Chen Jiajun took out a satellite phone and said: "I'll ask and find out!"

As he spoke, Chen Jiajun dialed Barney's number directly, and soon the other party's voice came through.

"How did the matter go?" Chen Jiajun asked.

Barney said with a smile: "Just as you said, this group of people is just a bunch of college students who have barely even held a gun. Dealing with them was easy; the person is already in our hands now!"

Chen Jiajun glanced at Ochoa and then said: "Send the guest to the Medellin hotel."

"Understood, boss!" Barney nodded and said.

After hanging up the phone, Chen Jiajun said to Ochoa: "Now it's your turn to perform!"

Ochoa nodded, then shouted for a few people to follow him as he strode toward the outside.

Dumu, who was fighting at the entrance, received the order from Chen Jiajun to cease fire, letting Ochoa walk out just like that.

It was unknown what methods this old guy used, but in less than half an hour, all the drug lord's gunmen outside had dispersed.

Chen Jiajun was very satisfied with this efficiency, so when Barney and the others arrived, he sent Ochoa's sister over directly.

The reunion of the siblings was naturally very moving; after the two hugged for a while, Ochoa said to Chen Jiajun, "You should take your people and leave quickly! I'm not sure how long I can hold back the people from the Gacha and Pablo families!"

Chen Jiajun said with an indifferent expression, "It doesn't matter, let them come! I happen to want to cut weeds and eliminate the roots!"

"You..." Ochoa pointed at Chen Jiajun, unable to say a word, and could only sigh, wave his hand, and leave with his subordinates.

After Ochoa left, Chen Jiajun stretched and said, "Alright, that's about it, let's head back to the United States!"

Barney stared at Chen Jiajun and said, "What about the thing you promised us?"

Chen Jiajun said speechlessly, "Rest assured, you'll know once we're back in the United States; I've already had people selecting a site! From now on, you will be members of the United States branch of Guojun Security Company, and your Expendables will operate independently—my people won't interfere, is that alright?"

Barney and the others no longer had their previous arrogance; they rubbed their hands and said, "It would be more reassuring to sign a contract."

That's right, the condition Chen Jiajun negotiated with Barney and the others was this: to have them join Guojun Security Company.

Don't look at the fact that Chen Jiajun gave them several million for this Expendables outing.

But mercenary money is truly not that easy to earn.

Especially for private mercenaries like them who lack licenses, they are even targets for the United States government to crack down on.

Moreover, their income is extremely unstable; although two million US dollars seems high this time.

But they have to pay taxes, and after paying taxes, there isn't much left when divided among the six of them.

In the United States, no one dares to provoke the IRS; even thieves, Zero-Dollar Purchase participants, and drug dealers have to pay taxes—it's just that magically realistic!

Do you think these mercenaries are carefree? These mercenaries are used to spending money lavishly; not only do they have no savings, but some don't even have a place to live, currently staying in Barney's auto repair shop, and if there are no missions, they even have to borrow money to eat.

They are even more miserable than the average white-collar worker! Aside from their military skills, these people have no other use.

They don't even compare to those white-collar workers who have jobs.

The work is dangerous, the pay is not high, and there are even instances of casualties happening at any time; if Barney, this Captain, had a way, he would have stopped doing this long ago.

Now that Chen Jiajun has given them a path to work with a formal license, even the most unruly people know how to bow their heads after being severely beaten by life a few times. (End of this chapter)
