Chapter 7 Escort the goods out of the city!
Chapter 7 Escort the goods out of the city!
Logistics, one of the main businesses of the Lawrence family today, has enabled them to quickly occupy the largest logistics market in the entire city of Santa Fe with large capital investments.
The largest logistics warehouse in the western part of Santa Fe City is owned by the Lawrence Group. Countless containers drive in here every day and are then transferred to various ports in the world. The profit from a single day is enough for an ordinary person to live a luxurious life.
Outside the busy warehouse, there were two trucks full of goods parked, and three guys who looked difficult to deal with were waiting quietly beside the trucks.
"This shipment is very important. Please pay close attention to it. Nothing should go wrong."
Conrad, cigarette in hand, turned around and warned his two companions: "If anything goes wrong, even if the three of us are tied together, we won't be able to pay for it!"
Samuel, the driver, and Josh, the security guard, nodded silently. After years of cooperation, they had long been accustomed to Conrad's bossing them around.
After all, this guy was a mercenary before. He had successfully completed many dangerous missions in the rainforest and desert. In terms of combat ability, this guy could subdue them with one hand.
"Aren't you leaving yet?"
Josh, who was tall and thin and wearing a light bulletproof vest, asked, "We've waited here long enough."
"Wait a little longer, Chris asked us to wait for him to come before we set off."
Conrad threw the cigarette butt aside and stamped it out, "Okay, they're here."
After saying that, he straightened his clothes and strode towards Chris who was walking in from outside.
But then he noticed that Chris was followed by an old man with a stubble on his face.
"Any other plans, Mr. Chris? We are all ready."
Conrad smiled and spoke to Chris.
Chris did not respond directly, but turned to Logan beside him and introduced him: "This is Conrad, he used to be a mercenary and he is very powerful."
As he spoke, he turned his head and looked at the driver on the other side. "His name is Samuel. He has excellent driving skills. Even on the most rugged mountain roads, he can make you sleep extra soundly in the car."
"And Josh, he is proficient in assembling various firearms and his driving skills are also surprisingly good. He is the driver of the second car."
Logan was still wearing that cheap suit. He looked at the three people in front of him and nodded calmly, "Hello."
Chris smiled and pointed at Logan and introduced him, "This is Mr. James. He will complete the mission with you. I hope you can have a pleasant cooperation. By the way, if there are any problems on the road, you must follow James' arrangements."
"he?"
Conrad glanced at Logan in surprise. "He looks at least sixty years old, Mr. Chris, are you sure you are not kidding?"
"of course not."
Chris looked at Conrad and said in an unquestionable tone, "I believe in my judgment. Mr. James will be a good leader. If you want to get the money, you'd better do as I say."
In the face of money, Conrad finally chose to remain silent. He just looked Logan up and down with a frown on his face. It was obvious that he was a little embarrassed to ask Logan to obey the orders of this old man.
"Okay, let's go, I hope you have a safe journey."
Chris smiled and pointed to the van.
Logan said nothing, striding towards the passenger seat of the first truck.
The others didn't say anything more and turned around to get in the car.
Before Josh turned around, Chris pulled him out alone and whispered, "Keep an eye on James on the way. That guy is not trustworthy. If there is any unusual movement, I don't mind you bringing his body back, but you must be careful. If you do anything, make sure it's a fatal blow. He's a dangerous guy."
Josh turned his head to glance at Chris's fierce eyes, then turned to look at Logan who had already got in the car, nodded silently, turned around and got in the car.
The two cars drove out of the warehouse one after the other and drove on the highway in the desert.
Logan looked out the window at the endless desert in silence.
This time the destination is Las Vegas, Nevada, which is very far away from Texas.
This was also the first time Logan left San Antonio and Texas.
Having stayed in San Antonio for so long, he almost forgot what the outside world was like.
He thought he would live in seclusion in San Antonio until he earned enough money to retire to sea with his professor.
I didn't expect that now I would leave this arid desert early for 20,000 US dollars.
Looking at the scenery outside the window, Logan had a complicated expression, filled with emotion, and let out a long breath.
"Would you like to smoke?" Samuel suddenly handed over a cigarette. He already had one in his mouth, and the smoke he exhaled was instantly blown away by the wind outside the car.
"Thank you." Logan took the cigarette, lit it with the cigarette lighter, took a deep breath, and the white smoke blew away with the wind.
"This is your first time participating in an escort mission, right?" Samuel asked while driving the car.
"Ah."
Logan just nodded.
"Haha, you took Conrad's position as the leader. That guy must be upset. Be careful. He is not someone you want to mess with."
Samuel spoke casually, cigarette in mouth and steering wheel in hand.
Logan looked at Samuel in surprise.
Logan was a little surprised by the other party's words. He didn't expect that he would say these to him.
"I just wanted the money, nothing else."
Logan responded indifferently that he would leave as long as he made money, and he didn't care about being the team leader or anything like that.
"Who among us doesn't do it for money?"
Samuel smiled and shook his head. "But people like us can only earn some hard-earned money at best. If we want to earn more US dollars, we can only enter the Lawrence family. Once we set foot there, we can truly escape from the bottom and enter the upper class."
"Conrad wants to get into the Lawrence family?"
Logan glanced at the rearview mirror at the truck behind him, and suddenly understood why Conrad cared so much about the position of team leader.
Samuel nodded. "Of course, that guy is very ambitious. If the team can complete the task well, Chris and his team will naturally give the credit to the team leader, so Conrad usually takes the position of team leader very seriously."
"In any case, you should be careful. In order to get the position of team leader, he may try every possible way to find fault with you. He may even deliberately make some noise to delay or fail the mission, in order to show that he is the only choice for the team leader and make Chris and the others pay more attention to him."
Samuel may not want anything to go wrong during the mission, or he may be asking Logan to be careful of Conrad out of kindness.
"Thank you for your reminder." Logan nodded indifferently. He didn't care about Conrad's potential threat.
Samuel smiled and said, "Don't thank me. If there is a problem with the mission, my bonus will be reduced. I hope this trip will be safe."
……
While chatting, the vehicle arrived at the Texas border checkpoint.
As a federal country, each state even has its own unique laws, and if you want to travel across states, you need official credentials.
This is also the reason why Logan rarely goes out after entering Texas. As a wanted criminal by the government, he obviously cannot obtain a certificate through formal channels.
But it is obvious that the Lawrence family has already established a network of relationships here.
The truck with the Lawrence family logo did not even need to stop at the checkpoint. It drove out of the checkpoint unimpeded and successfully crossed the Texas border.
Just as Chris said, it was a very long journey. Nevada was very far away from San Antonio, and we were only halfway there by the time the sun went down.
However, after leaving San Antonio, the original desert gradually faded away, and lush green plants began to appear on both sides of the road. The route they chose was a forest avenue with a small town at the end of the avenue. The convoy needed to cross the town before entering the new highway.
"Let's take turns driving tonight. I don't want to waste time on the road."
Logan glanced at the gradually darkening sky and turned to look at Samuel.
The longer they delay on the road, the more things might happen, and Logan doesn't want to see any accidents happen.
"Okay." Samuel obviously didn't mind running all night, picked up the intercom and said, "I'll tell them."
However, as soon as he finished speaking, Samuel looked at the rearview mirror and was suddenly stunned, "Wait, what are they doing!"
Logan quickly looked at the rearview mirror and saw that the truck that had been following behind him suddenly turned and stopped outside a pub.
"Stop the car and take a look!" Logan ordered.
Samuel quickly stopped the car.
At this time, Conrad and Josh in the car behind had also gotten out and were about to enter the pub.
Logan stepped forward to block them, "What are you doing? Did I ever say we were going to stop?"
Conrad glanced at Logan and said disdainfully: "Old man, I don't care what you think, but I need to rest now. If you want to leave, go by yourself. We need to drink some wine here and set off again tomorrow morning!"
Logan frowned and said solemnly, "I say, get in the car now and leave overnight!"
Conrad just glanced at Logan, snorted coldly, strode forward nonchalantly, pushed Logan aside with his shoulder and walked into the tavern.
