Even if Marino and Sandra worked diligently on their ranch, they wouldn't have much extra money in a year or two, and would have to invest it all into the expansion of the ranch.
It would take at least five years before they could earn 200,000 a year.
Even so, their income wasn't as much as Selina's when she took Gold Nugget on a few trips, and the money in their coffers would skyrocket.
Also, Selina and the dog head didn't have to worry about money laundering. After Luke took the black money, he simply gave it to her as a bonus.
Compared with a certain someone who could only leave the black money in his inventory at the beginning, he was much happier.
However, Luke wasn't disappointed.
If he had laundered the black money back then, he would still have to find a way to turn the legal money into black money and pay it to his allies in South America and Europe.
Ninety percent of the money would be taken advantage of by the guys who laundered it.
After they got off the plane at Dallas Airport, they made a call, and a few minutes later, a bulletproof Mercedes-Benz G500 stopped in front of them.
A white man in his forties called out to them through the open window. "Luke, Selina, over here."
They greeted the man with a smile. "Hello, Tommy." They opened the back door and got in.
The Mercedes-Benz turned around and sped all the way back to Shackelford. The three of them chatted casually about how things were going at home.
The man named Tommy was Robert's old comrade, and he was a little dull.
After he retired from the army, he had found a few jobs, from security to odd jobs.
He had been a soldier for too long and wasn't good at socializing, so it was easy for him to be ostracized.
He had a son and a daughter. His older daughter was already in middle school, and his younger son was still in kindergarten. His wife was a good person, and wouldn't let him go back to his old job as a mercenary no matter what.
They couldn't go on any longer. Robert contacted him and offered him a job with a good salary.
Tommy used to live in a small city in Texas, and the couple decided to move the whole family there.
With an old comrade like Robert, they had a good income, and Tommy's family's life immediately changed.
Robert had also mentioned to his old comrades that it was his child who was worried about their safety, and had asked him to set up this private security company.
His old comrades were not here to fight or kill. They were only responsible for taking care of Robert's family's security plan and training the dozens of employees in the company.
Every day, he would train the newbies with a few old comrades, and after work, he would drink and play with guns. When he had nothing to do, he could even take his children to the ranch for a horseback riding vacation. He no longer had to smile apologetically at strangers with bad tempers.
Without Luke's proposal to set up a private security company, Tommy would probably still be eating dirt, and wouldn't be able to live such a leisurely and comfortable life.
Thus, Tommy, who didn't really talk to anyone else, immediately volunteered to pick them up at the Dallas airport when he heard that Luke and Selina were coming back.
He hadn't met Luke many times, but they got along quite well.
Luke and the others were more considerate of Tommy, who was an honest man. They mostly talked about Robert's embarrassing stories, followed by guns, cars, and ranches.
In Texas, this was a common topic for most people. They could talk about it for a lifetime.
However, Tommy's vocabulary was rather limited. His description of the situation at home could be summarized as "good, very good, very good, excellent" and so on.
Luke didn't mind. After all, he was just chatting. He checked the system panel in passing.
Tommy was a light green Friendly in the system. He was an honest man!
Luke was reassured.
The Mercedes-Benz returned to Shackelford when the sun was setting. Luke and Selina went back to their respective homes.
The next day was Saturday. Luke got up early in the morning and dragged Robert and Catherine to practice the Kunlun Qi-Refining Technique.
Joseph, on the other hand, was sent to Selina's house to play with her three siblings.
After teaching them for a long time, Luke began to sweat. He realized that he had underestimated the difficulty of learning the Kunlun Qi-Refining Technique.
Robert and Catherine didn't get the hang of it after several hours, and were at a loss at what he said.
If it weren't for the credibility of his words, the couple would have thought that he was crazy.
Now that he thought about Selina, she seemed to have only listened to him nagging for several hours, and then … she succeeded.
Clearly, he had greatly underestimated Selina's talent.
But without learning the Kunlun Qi-Refining Technique, one couldn't practice the power of the dragon.
Luke could only grit his teeth and teach the "deadwood" couple.
After a whole day of tormenting himself, Robert's mind was already in a mess when he continued after dinner. He almost had two mosquito coils on his head.
As a middle school teacher, Catherine was very patient and good at communication and understanding.
Plus, she liked art, and her mind wasn't so rigid. At a certain moment, she suddenly found an opportunity and opened her eyes. "I-I think I sensed that 'aura'!"
Luke was pleasantly surprised. "Really?"
Catherine nodded in delight, before her face suddenly froze. "… Well, I think I'm happy again."
Luke waved his hand. "Don't be nervous. If you can sense it once, it won't be so difficult the second time. Relax and take it slow. Well, Robert, you go away first. "
Robert's face was full of shock. He raised his hand and pointed at his nose. Go away? "
Pondering for a moment, Luke decided to violate his bottom line of never lying. "I'm mainly afraid that you'll distract Catherine because you're too handsome."
"You …" Robert was lost for words.
If he refuted it, he would be admitting that he wasn't handsome! If he didn't refute it, he would have to sit down obediently.
But his body had already made up its mind, and he decisively walked over to the dining room. "I'm thirsty. I'm going to drink some water."
Luke leaned over and said, "No problem. Do you need a beer? Maybe you'll get the feeling after you drink too much. "
Robert: "Get lost!"
Catherine was amused.
As it turned out, Luke's mouth might have been blessed recently.
Catherine did indeed regain her form half an hour later.
This time, she didn't get distracted. She continued unhurriedly according to Luke's instructions, and finally stabilized the bit of "aura."
She hadn't really started yet, but she had found the way to the door.
As long as she slowly familiarized herself with the feeling, it would only be a matter of months.
Luke stopped her and helped her sit down on the couch. Looking at her big belly, he said with a smile, "That's enough. Before my youngest sister is born, you'll cultivate once every three to five days with the lowest intensity. Just maintain the feeling for 'aura.' "
Kathlyn was a little hesitant. "Will this affect Cindy?"
Cindy was the name of the little life in her belly and Luke's unborn little sister.
