Wesley and Carlos packed up the armory. Then he came out with the radio, cell phone, and notebook. The phone was turned on, and a call came immediately.
"Hey, it seems that you have gotten the equipment. Then you need to be on standby for 24 hours. It's best to put the equipment in the car and be ready to support us at any time. Otherwise, there may not be enough time."
"Then why didn't you say so earlier? I moved into the house. Okay, is there anything else?"
"The radio is an ear model. The main computer is hung on the waist and the headphones are on the band. Mike is in the cuff. You can see it often in this movie. The channel is 06. Remember to bring it with you when you move. Remember to use this when you go online with your notebook. It's confidential and generally difficult to crack. This is some."
"Understood. This phone will be on twenty-four hours a day." Wesley hung up. Now he has no desire to go downstairs again.
"Take a break today. We'll go out together tomorrow and see what you want to do."
The night passed uneventfully. The next morning, Carlos fried eggs, heated milk, and baked a few slices of bread. After they finished eating, they started moving things again. Two sniper rifles, a carbine, a pair of pistols, and ammunition went straight downstairs. The radio was thrown directly into the car.
They set off in the Chevy Suburban, ready to explore New York. They watched the busy roads and streets along the way. "The pace of the city is still pretty fast. There's a sense of hurry," Carlos said from the passenger seat.
"Well, international metropolises are all like this. The competition is fierce, hehe." Wesley smiled. He just had a job here. Although he doesn't need to make money, this is not bad. He can also approach the Tesseract, right?
"Not bad, but I'm retired and don't want to live so… in a hurry. I want to open a flower shop. What do you think?" Carlos suddenly said.
Wesley was driving. Fortunately, he wasn't going very fast, but his hand shook and the car rocked once on the road. "Damn, do you know how to drive?" A taxi driver next to him roared loudly. Wesley gave him the finger and then asked, "Are you sure you want to drive a restaurant?"
"Yes, are you surprised?" Carlos asked.
"Yes, a retired assassin wants a flower shop. You know a few kinds of flowers. I'm not saying you have to make money, but if you don't even know the kind of flowers, it's hard to open."
"Your mother used to love flowers, and I know a lot about them." Carlos's words made Wesley silent. His mother had passed away, and he should have gone to see her after he reunited with Carlos.
"Not bad, that's a good idea. Let's choose the location," Wesley said after a silence. That's not bad.
"How about we choose a place near home? The location is good, and we don't usually see a flower shop when we come down for dinner." It was as if Carlos had already thought about it. Now Wesley knew that Carlos was not in a good state after retirement.
"Sure, let's go back and take a look." Wesley turned around and drove back. Then, with the apartment as the center, he began to stroll around the perimeter. This is the south of Central Park, where the rich are relatively concentrated, and the house price is not low, but it is profitable to buy it now.
There was an estate agent about a hundred meters from the apartment. Wesley stopped and then walked in with Carlos. "Welcome. What can I do for you, gentlemen?" An agent approached them.
"We want to open a shop nearby. It doesn't matter if it's bigger. The important thing is that we can buy it. That's all the requirements. Is there anything suitable?" Wesley asked.
"Yes, it's such a coincidence. Not long ago, someone came to entrust us with the sale of a door-to-door house. His location is not bad, and the area is about 100 square meters. It's not possible to do a big business, so it's not very easy to sell. But it's definitely enough to sell flowers. Do you want to take a look?"
"Of course." When the three of them came out, Wesley asked the manager to lead the way. The two of them drove behind them, but they reached it around the corner. It was an office building, no more than three hundred meters from their apartment. On the left side of the first floor was a row of door-to-door houses, and on the right was a movie theater. This situation was very common. There was only one service desk on the first floor and then an elevator. Professional office buildings were rented out.
One of the fast-food restaurants was only about a hundred square meters, but business should be good in this location. "Why is it for sale? This place should be very profitable," Wesley asked.
"Personal reasons. This gentleman is a foreigner. He made enough money and wanted to return to Europe to retire, so he sold it directly." Wesley's mouth twitched when he heard this. He really knows how to live.
"How much?" Wesley asked.
"The cash payment is only $8 million. It's really cheap. If it's a loan, it will cost 9.5 million," said the manager.
"Sure, let him bring his lawyer. Is there a problem?" Wesley had no intention of bargaining at all. Here, in a few years, you can't buy it for 20 million, especially since this is an office building. In the future, if someone wants to buy this building, the price will be higher for him. There are fewer and fewer buildings selling the first floor, and they are usually rented out. The rent is extremely expensive.
The manager was pleased to hear that and called the owner directly, while Wesley called Philip.
Without the slightest hesitation, the two sides settled on it. The rest would be handled by the lawyer. In less than a day, this place became an asset under Carlos's name. Wesley had to give his father some assets. If he married again in the future, he would have some money. Then Wesley opened an account for Carlos and deposited ten million dollars directly. He still wanted to buy stocks for the rest. Oh, right, he also needed to buy a yacht. He didn't need a good one. Usually, he and his father could go fishing.
"Are you still looking for the renovation company from last time?" Philip will handle the property rights for the contract, and Wesley and Carlos will start to discuss how to renovate.
"Yes, their craftsmanship is not bad. The front door has been replaced with floor-to-ceiling windows and an electric shutter door has been installed. The inside is a little neat, and all of them can be placed in flower racks. There is no need for anything else, but it used to be a fast-food restaurant, and it needs to be cleaned up."
"It'll be fine if the heavy armor is removed. The exhaust pipes will remove everything. We need a place to store flowers at the back."
Carlos began to get busy for the flower shop, and Wesley was idle. He had a mission now, or he would have checked out the yacht and gone fishing with Carlos.
