America: I'm really not crazy

Chapter 58 Li Wei solved Joel's problem.

"If that bitch won't move out, just drag her out! If you can't handle that, then wash your ass and get the hell out of here!"

After Joel Barnes finished yelling, he slammed the phone down with a "bang" and rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on.

He really couldn't understand how young people these days could be so foolish.

A widowed cleaning lady with a three-year-old mixed-race baby.

What makes such a family think they deserve the full amount of resettlement subsidies?

And that stupid "salesman".

They refuse to move out. Won't you take coercive measures?

At the very least, let the gang beat them up.

They got scared and naturally moved away.

Why does he have to personally teach me such a trivial matter?

If it weren't for that idiot salesman still using Joel Barnes's identity as his son, he would definitely have kicked him out of the company.

As for that idiot's ever-present "conscience"?

This piece of junk can't even be exchanged for money; its actual value is even less than a used piece of toilet paper.

At the very least, throwing the latter in the opponent's face can still be disgusting.

Despite his complaints, Joel picked up the phone again and dialed, determined to set a good example for his son.

The call was answered quickly.

"Apollo, help me deal with a mother and daughter. Same as always, get them out of my house. Price is negotiable."

The person on the other end of the phone remained silent.

Just as Joel was about to lose his patience, the other party finally spoke.

"Mr. Barnes, please don't contact me anymore. I'm afraid the new boss will misunderstand."

Barnes paused for a moment.

"What new boss? Aren't you the boss of the Sun Gang? When did a new boss suddenly appear?"

"Mr. Barnes, how could you not know about something so important?"

Apollo's voice was filled with barely suppressed surprise.

Why should I know what you "clowns" are up to? What are your status and position? I'm an elite member about to join the Revival Society! I'm not on the same level as you trash from the sewers!

Joel thought this to himself, but said something else entirely.

"Alright, Apollo, let's put those trivial matters aside. I'll increase your commission by twenty percent. Do you still think that new boss is that important?"

"This isn't about money, Mr. Barnes."

Joel never expected Barnes to refuse so readily.

He was a little unhappy.

"What else could it be? If you want to raise the price, you can just say so. After all, we're old friends, aren't we?"

That being said, Joel thought that if that were the case, he would have to find someone to teach Apollo, that insatiable hyena, a lesson.

But Apollo's answer struck Joel as absurd; it was more like he wanted to raise the price.

"It has nothing to do with money, Mr. Barnes. It's a matter of conscience."

"You're kidding me!"

Joel slammed his fist on the table and stood up.

Apollo answered very seriously.

"Mr. Barnes, I admit that I have done many bad things in the past, and even made a living from it to support my family."

"But can you understand that feeling? My son is even afraid to tell his friends what his father does."

"So sometimes, in the dead of night, lying alone in bed, I can't help but wonder, what is the meaning of my life? Is it just to squeeze the last drop of profit out of those poor people? This..."

Joel lost patience with Apollo's reflections on life.

"Stop talking nonsense! I'll only ask you one question! To do it or not to do it!"

"Then let me make it clear to you, Boss Tessa has paid enough. Since that's the case, I want to retain the last shred of my conscience—I'm quitting! You despicable, shameless old miser! Go eat shit!"

"Snapped!"

Apollo slammed down the phone.

Joel was stunned.

He never expected that one day, some lousy gang leader would speak to him like that.

After Joel realized what was happening, he flew into a rage and began smashing things in the office.

"Apollo! You're dead! I said it! Even God can't save you! And that Tessa... I don't care where you came from, you bitch! I'm going to get someone to kill you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Joel suddenly saw his office door being pushed open, and a completely unfamiliar head poking in.

"Hey! I think I heard someone calling my friend a bitch?"

Joel was startled, but when he realized he was in his own office building, he immediately started cursing.

"Who the hell are you! Security guard! Where are the security guards?"

The man pushed open the door, revealing a group of security guards lying on the ground, groaning and moaning in pain.

"Halfway through the race, those who didn't run are all here."

The other person spoke casually, then walked straight in.

Joel reached into his desk in terror and pulled out a handgun.

"Don't move! I'll shoot if you come any closer!"

The other person glanced at his gun with little concern.

"C9? Although this thing helped me, I have to say, it's really ugly."

As they spoke, the other man had already walked up to Joel. Unable to withstand the pressure, Joel pulled the trigger.

"Bang!"

A gunshot rang out, but the other party was unharmed.

Due to excessive tension and the fact that it was his first time shooting a live person, Joel's shooting posture was severely distorted.

So much so that Joel himself didn't know where the bullets landed.

"The Revival Society...that's it?"

Joel was stunned by what the other person said.

How did this person know about the Revival Society?

Who exactly is he?

The other party actually gave him the answer directly.

"To answer your first question, my name is Li Wei, and I'm someone who's planning to cause trouble for the Revival Society."

After the other person finished speaking, Joel realized that the gun in his hand had somehow ended up in the other person's hand and was being pressed against his head.

Joel knelt down with a thud.

"I...I'm just a peripheral member of the Revival Society! And I'm a peripheral member who hasn't even passed the probationary period yet! Please don't hurt me!"

Li Wei was speechless.

However, the fact that the system hasn't generated any missions yet suggests that the other party isn't particularly dangerous.

At the very least, they don't think highly of themselves.

But since we're already here...

"Say what you know."

Joel immediately spilled everything he knew.

His introducer was "Luca Sutton", and the person in charge of the assessment was "Royce Wood". His assessment goal was to take over half of the Overton community and one-third of the old house in Little Havana.

"Anything else?"

Without saying a word, Li Wei pressed the gun against his head.

"That's all, I...that's all I know!"

"Bang!"

"ah!!!"

The bullet grazed Joel's ear, leaving only a small wound, barely a scratch.

But Joel let out a scream as if she were losing her virginity.

"Last chance."

When Levi's gun was aimed at Joel's crotch, Joel finally told the truth.

"I 'dealt with' a journalist for the Revival Society! He was thrown into the sea! The stuff that journalist collected was taken by Luca Sutton!"

Li Wei ignored them and instead took out his phone, which had been on a call, and said something to Danielle on the other end of the line with a hint of smugness.

"See! I told you there would be an unexpected bonus, right? Did you record it clearly?"

"Understood, but this can only be used as evidence in an indictment, not as evidence for a conviction."

That's your problem.

After finishing his sentence, Li Wei hung up the phone and left, leaving Joel speechless.
