In this country, there was no such thing as mercenaries. Any mercenaries were illegal to exist.
Only in other countries, especially in war-torn areas, there were mercenary groups with extremely impressive backgrounds.
Chu Ho asked back, "What's so strange about that?"
"Aren't you afraid of death?"
"If I was afraid of death, I wouldn't have engaged in such a profession. However, being afraid of death doesn't mean that I want to die. Everyone wants to live well. If you don't want to live, it's easier to commit suicide by jumping into the river. "
Becoming a mercenary was to survive.
Mercenaries had a high salary and a considerable income.
Generally, taking on a mission, the salary started at 100,000 yuan. In that era, it was definitely beyond the reach of many people.
Logically speaking, after so many years, Chu Ho should have accumulated a lot of wealth.
She had indeed accumulated a lot of wealth.
In the mercenary career that lasted for more than three years, she had accumulated a few million yuan in assets.
However …
Other than her daily expenses and the apartment she bought in San Francisco, she later donated everything to a refugee charity.
When she was in Interpol, her salary was much lower than when she was a mercenary.
Later, after she went missing, the organization must have thought that she was dead, so they might have canceled her account.
She didn't miss that little bit of assets.
It was also difficult for Chu Ho to talk about the past. For some reason, after getting the marriage certificate today, she inexplicably felt a lot of emotions.
In the past, she didn't even dare to think that she would one day live such a stable life.
She had a husband in name, children, and a complete family.
Things that she didn't even dare to dream of had happened.
"Maybe it has something to do with the situation when I was young."
Chu Ho looked out of the window, but her expression was very calm. "Since I was young, the country I was born in was filled with countless wars and disputes. When I was young, I experienced a very big change. My family was destroyed and I was homeless. I boarded a humanitarian rescue ship from the United States and safely arrived at the pure land of the United States. In the beginning, I became a mercenary because I wanted revenge. "
"Revenge?"
"I wanted to become stronger and then maintain peace. When I became strong enough, I would kill those enemies with my own hands. However, when I grew up, I realized that the rebel organization that destroyed my family had long been eliminated. Thus, this wish became the wish to maintain world peace. "
As Chu Ho spoke, he was amused by the childish thoughts of his youth. He actually had such a childish childhood.
"Isn't it funny? When I was young, being a mercenary was a sacred profession in my eyes. That's because in many war-torn countries, in addition to the peacekeeping forces, the ones fighting against many rebel groups are mercenaries dispatched by the government. I was rescued from the flames of war by a mercenary. At that time, I thought that when I grew up, I must become such a brave person. "
However, when she grew up, she realized that the world was actually so complicated. It was not as simple as she had imagined.
It was the law of the jungle. The weak were destined to have no place to survive.
Those organizations that had originally judged the government were only resisting because of the government's incompetence and misuse of power.
As for the troops who claimed to be righteous, most of them were just invaders for the sake of the country's own interests or for the sake of the local oil and natural gas resources.
