Wouldn't that be perfect?
But Jack saw what Su Xiao intended and shook his head, refusing.
"No, Su. Thanks for the offer, but I can't take it."
Jack knew about the deal between Su Xiao and Padre.
He couldn't contribute anything to that deal at all.
How could he join in and take a cut for doing nothing?
"Security consultant"?
Padre's men handled all the deliveries. Last time the Sixth Street Gang had tried anything, they had left a pile of bodies in Heywood. That alone was enough to deter any other lowlifes.
What did they need a security consultant for?
Jack knew Su Xiao was really trying to give him money this way.
But he was afraid Jack would feel embarrassed and find it hard to accept, so he had come up with this excuse.
Jack might look like all brawn, but that didn't mean he had no brains.
Besides, some money was there for the taking, but he couldn't just take whatever his buddy offered.
Taking money without doing any work.
Wouldn't that mean making his buddy support a freeloader?
In the end, Jack sighed.
"Sorry, Su. You, V, and Lucy should back out. You're right about everything. This job is risky, and you've all got bright futures ahead of you. You shouldn't get involved."
"What about you, Jack?"
"I still want to take the gamble. Maybe this is an opportunity the Lord gave me. If I don't grab it, I might never get another one." Jack thought for a moment, then added, "If you're my friends, don't try to talk me out of it anymore."
How much was a biochip that only the rich could enjoy worth?
Jack didn't know.
But he knew those braindance blockbusters made in New America could easily bring in hundreds of millions,
