Chapter 3: Bill is seriously injured

The person at the bedroom door drew a handgun, raising both hands to aim at Hardy, only to realize that the situation had drastically changed; his companion had been subdued by someone.

The car was parked in the yard, Bill arranged a room for Hardy and informed him where the bathroom was, and Hardy took a comfortable shower

The person in Hardy's hand was immediately frightened into inaction

Before anyone could react, Hardy swiftly turned his hands and forcefully snatched the revolver from the man's grip

Upon returning to Bill's house in the evening, Bill inquired about Hardy's job search. Hardy, feeling somewhat helpless, replied, "It has not been going well. There are too many people looking for jobs, and I lack both a degree and professional skills, so there are not many suitable positions available."

Countless thoughts flashed through Hardy's mind in an instant

Mysterious dim lighting, jazz music, women in revealing attire, the bustling sounds of a crowd, and the air filled with the scent of marijuana

Hadi suddenly moved

I originally intended to work diligently to earn money, having worked in factories, done odd jobs in stores, washed cars, and served as a transport driver, but the income was only sufficient to make ends meet. Nowadays, prices are soaring, while wages are being suppressed even lower by those damned capitalists

Bill, with a cheerful smile, playfully slapped the bunny girl's bottom and teased her a bit before sitting down in a booth with Hardy

Dragging his weary body back to the Bill apartment, as soon as he entered the room, Hardy suddenly sensed a wave of danger, causing his body to stiffen. Instinctively wanting to retreat, he found the door suddenly closing, and a handgun appeared, its dark muzzle aimed at Hardy's head

They say the war is over, there are so many workers that they are in no shortage, and there is no fear of a lack of labor. The newspapers claim that the country is prosperous, yet the unemployment rate has significantly increased without any reports on it

The gang operates underground casinos and loan companies, all of which require debt collectors. Additionally, there is a business in smuggling cigarettes and alcohol, supplying beverages to local bars and nightclubs. This nightclub is under my responsibility, Bill stated

Possessing memories of a past life and having insights that exceed several decades in this world, he believes that as long as he finds the right path, he will surely be able to make a fortune in the future

Until the evening, there were still no gains.

"Don't move!" the man pointed a gun at Hardy and said in a low voice

As noon approached, I bought a hot dog and a cup of hot tea on the street, sitting by the roadside to eat, and I will continue my job search in the afternoon

Hadi is currently very poor, with only a few dollars to his name. He did not refuse Bill's kindness and accepted the money, putting it into his pocket

One-tenth is 500 US dollars, which is sufficient for a person's salary for two months in this era

The person in Hardy's arms immediately said: "We are here to bring some clothes for Bill"

Seeing that Hardy did not decline, Bill was very pleased. The two continued to drink and chat until nightfall before leaving. Outside, a light drizzle was falling, and the weather had turned somewhat cold. The two drove back to Bill's apartment.

Bill was injured, and the injury is quite severe

The women are all dressed as bunny girls, with tight-fitting outfits and bikinis that accentuate their curvaceous figures. Their long legs are wrapped in stockings, and they sport tall bunny ears, one standing upright and the other bent down. There is also a fluffy round ball on their backsides, making them look very cute

Why doesn't Bill come to get it himself

Bill shrugged, "Who knows."

Hardy looked at the two guns, which were Colt M1911s, the standard-issue firearms of the U.S. military. The sidearm that Jon Hardy used during his service was the Colt M1911, a weapon with which he was very familiar

I intend to find a stable job said Hadi

He took a step forward, aiming the gun at Hardy. The revolver was still pointed at Hardy's head, now only half a meter away, almost touching his head.

"Tell me, why have you come to my house? What is your purpose?" Hardy inquired

First, let's have two glasses of beer

There are two gentlemen in suits in the room

The person in Hadi's arms was taken aback

The other party was taken aback

Is this not Bill's house?

I have a friend who is part of the Jewish gang. He asked me to join, so I did. Now things are pretty good, and I earn much more than working a regular job. Bill said with a smile

"Have you joined the gang?" Hardy asked, somewhat surprised

Release Sean

Primarily, he does not wish to work in a factory performing repetitive tasks, which offer no prospects for development and do not align with his aspirations. However, finding a job with growth potential is not easy.

Bill poured another glass of wine for the two of them and continued chatting in the living room, talking until late into the night before going to sleep

The next morning, Bill and Hardy greeted each other and went out to attend to their business. Hardy tidied up briefly before also heading out.

Bill went out, while Hardy continued to go out in search of a job

Hadi shook his head

After looking for half a day, either the salary is too low or the job position is not suitable

The person at the bedroom door was hesitant to act, unsure of how to proceed. In a moment of frustration, they could only grit their teeth and point the gun at Hardy, leading to a standoff between the two parties

The person at the bedroom door shouted sternly

Bill shrugged his shoulders

Khadir moved faster, pivoting on his feet, and with his left hand, he seized the neck of the person in front of him. In the next moment, a revolver was already pressed against the man's temple

Hadi smiled and said, "I am preparing to find a proper job, one that does not require a gun"

Bill shrugged and did not persuade Hardy any further, "OK, you can stay with me for the time being."

Hadi, upon hearing their words, also realized that it might be a misunderstanding; however, he did not let his guard down and continued to inquire further

I bought a new suit and a woolen coat on the commercial street, making me look more energetic and handsome. I also purchased a newspaper to check the job listings: factory workers, accountants, drivers, hotel attendants, porters...

No wonder the people here are so familiar with him

The body suddenly darted to the side to evade the gun muzzle, while simultaneously stepping forward quickly, seizing the revolver held by the opponent with both hands, one in front and one behind.

In the afternoon, I visited several recruitment agencies. As Bill mentioned, although the economy is currently good, there are even more job seekers. Many companies only had Hardy fill out a resume and then there was no further communication.

I live here

In the following days, Bill went out to attend to his own matters, while Hardy searched for jobs everywhere, but he did not have much success.

Another person stood at the bedroom door about four to five meters away, with his hands in his pockets, making a gesture as if ready to draw a gun at any moment

Drop the gun, or I will take him out first

thief

Still Bill's enemy

As he brushed his hair, Bill called out to Hardy to move the sofa in the living room, revealing what was underneath.

Delivering wine, collecting payments, maintaining order

A beautiful bunny girl approached and said, "Bill, what would you like?"

He spoke while taking out a stack of cash and handing it to Hadi, which amounted to over one hundred dollars

The bunny girl brought over two glasses of beer, Hardy and Bill clinked their glasses and took a big gulp. The two began reminiscing about their past experiences in the military, and then shifted the conversation to their current situation

That morning, Bill went out and smiled at Hardy, saying, "I am going to collect a payment today, five thousand dollars. This is a substantial amount. If I can get it back, we can split it ten ways, and I will take you out for a grand meal."

In his previous life, Hadi had also achieved success in business, but later he was framed and fell from the peak.

The two clinked their glasses, and Bill looked at Hardy and said, "Jon, let's do this together. With your intellect and skills, you will definitely succeed."

Robbery

Jon, there are two guns here, along with several magazines for the *picture* book, feel free to take them if needed

As the two entered, Hardy discovered that this place was much livelier than the tavern he had stayed at in Orange County

The person in Hardy's arms immediately thought of something and hurriedly said: "We might have some misunderstanding. We are companions of Bill. Are you Hardy? Bill mentioned to us that he had a friend named Hardy who lives at his place"

Hadi shouted, and the gun barrel pressed down again on the head of the person in his embrace

One is in front, the other is behind

"It has only just begun, there is no need to rush," Bill reassured.

That person was taken aback

The man in front was holding a revolver, the muzzle aimed at Hardy's head, only about two meters away from him

He does not want to join the gang

The guy in Hadi's arms was clearly frightened, his body visibly trembling

What are we all doing? Hardy asked

When I left the military, I only received a few hundred dollars in retirement benefits. You know I have a large family, with parents and five younger siblings, and that amount of money is simply not enough.

The car stopped outside a bar, where neon lights outlined a playful bunny girl, and the name of the bar is 'Bunny Girl Bar'

This money is for you; you need a well-fitting suit for job hunting. Now that the weather is cold, you also need a beautiful wool coat. Go buy a complete outfit tomorrow

Who are you

The person at the bedroom door was so frightened that he quickly drew his gun

The underworld is a thorny path

Do not move, or I will blow your head off

Why have you come to my house and rummaged through my belongings
