Chapter 224: Money is still useful

Luke had informed Beckett before leaving.

Beckett heard about a veteran who suffered from the same PTSD as him and became interested.

Since Luke cleansed his negative emotions, his mental state has been much better.

When studying with Lilith, I can occasionally joke around.

But Lilith still stared at the girl's face with that cold and domineering look.

Everyone felt uncomfortable at the beginning, but gradually we got used to it.

Luke also specifically asked Beckett to prepare weapons and try out new equipment.

Beckett was surprised to hear Luke's request.

"Aren't we going on a trip?"

Luke smiled and said to him:

"Travel? Aren't you nervous in Myanmar without a gun?"

After hearing Luke's words, Beckett began to prepare his weapons without any hesitation.

Luke asked Lilith to prepare the drone in advance.

Now Compley (Captain Murdoch) has been discharged from the hospital.

Luke's purification abilities had been exceptionally effective in healing him, and now he was testing the Pelican that Luke had prepared for the team.

Everything is going on in an orderly manner.

Luke has loved the feeling of 'air strike' since he played a game of it in the jungles of Colombia.

Naturally, I have to prepare for this trip to Myanmar in case of any unexpected events.

Now Luke wants to deploy armed drones all over the world.

Unfortunately, the conditions do not allow this yet, as drones still require regular maintenance.

This time, the attack drone he modified carried a lot of things.

Anyway, the Myanmar Air Force is non-existent, and the drone has a double stealth design, so they can go bigger.

After everything was ready, Luke took Beckett on a trip to Southeast Asia.

Luke's private jet route was to Anchorage, Alaska, then Tokyo, Japan, and finally Bangkok, Thailand.

This trip also made Luke feel that he might need an intercontinental private jet.

The range of this small Gulfstream private jet is still too short.

After getting off the plane, people from their hotel came to pick up Luke and the others.

After checking into the five-star luxury hotel, Luke took out his laptop to contact Lilith.

Lilith is also a good employee, working 24 hours a day, seven days a week, never taking a break...

Lilith gave the information to Luke and marked the town where Rambo was.

This is the easternmost part of Thailand, a small village on the lower reaches of the Salween River that runs through the eastern border of Myanmar and Thailand.

Looking at the location shown on the map, Luke sighed.

It's too remote. I guess I need to make some preparations, otherwise I'll suffer when I go there.

Luke spent three days preparing for this.

Because there are famous temples and Western churches and monasteries built in the early Age of Discovery, there are quite a few tourists.

It’s just that the infrastructure there is so poor that sometimes I can’t spend the money even if I want to.

After everything was ready, Luke drove to the village, which was considered a town, with Beckett and several charity staff.

I communicated with the biggest local boss here, the abbot of the local temple.

Because of Luke's financial ability, the abbot of the temple almost made him a worshipper.

It was learned that Rambo was hired by a group of Western missionaries and had just left here and sent them to Myanmar.

Since the return date was unknown, Luke was not in a hurry.

He will come back anyway.

Because Rambo does not have Luke's IFF device, the drone cannot accurately locate his position.

Luke simply directed the heads of several charities to start making humanitarian donations here.

Improve local education, medical care and infrastructure.

Beckett saw all of this.

He never expected that Luke's family was so rich, so rich that he couldn't even imagine how much money they had.

Although he was very curious why Luke didn't stay at home as a rich boy, but ran away to become an FBI secret agent.

But he didn't ask, and this was his chance to get to know Luke.

Actions speak louder than words.

Luke prepared a lot of candy and strolled around the village with a backpack every day.

He learned Thai and Burmese in just a few days.

This also surprised Beckett.

He followed Luke every day and saw him holding candy and giving one to every child he saw.

There are many children around him every day.

This guy just wandered around the village, played with the children and chatted with the elderly in the village.

At first, the two of them spoke incoherently, but later they could communicate fluently.

The change was so fast that in just a few days, Luke could basically call out the names of most of the elderly and children in the village.

It wasn't just Beckett who followed Luke every day, there was also a commissioner of a charity and the abbot of the temple.

The specialist is here to serve as Luke's secretary. If the young master has any instructions, he will immediately notify the relevant personnel to handle it.

The abbot mainly guided Luke and explained the situation in the village and various places of interest to him.

There is also a pier near the village.

It is very lively here because it is both the estuary of the Salween River and one of the largest fishery markets in Mottama Bay between Myanmar and Thailand.

The abbot also mentioned that Rambo once fought a black boxing match here.

That night, Luke received a notice from the abbot that Rambo had returned.

The next morning, Luke found Rambo and brought him a handwritten letter from General Trautman.

After reading it, Rambo silently took out a lighter and burned the letter.

When Luke saw Rambo for the first time, he didn't give him the impression of an exaggerated, imposing super soldier.

Instead, he looked more like a local fisherman, wearing tattered clothes, with messy hair and smelling bad.

After watching the letter burn to ashes, Rambo looked up at Luke.

"Are you from the military?"

Luke smiled and shook his head.

"No, actually I'm from the FBI, but my coming here has nothing to do with these things. I was just asked by an old man with limited mobility to come and see his old friend."

Luke didn't try to persuade Rambo at the beginning. They were not familiar with each other and had not yet brought up this topic.

But Luke quickly introduced Rambo and Beckett.

"This is Beckett, a retired Master Sergeant of the Marine Corps. I think you two should have a lot to talk about together."

"Come on, let's go out for a walk and see the changes in the village."

He then signaled to the abbot to take Rambo for a walk around the village.

The temple is being repaired, and many roads in the village have begun to be leveled in preparation for paving better roads.

The villagers spontaneously contributed their manpower and the charity set up a greenhouse and provided food for free.

It is very rich and provided to every working villager.

The work involves everyone from children to the elderly, and the whole village is becoming full of vitality and thriving.

Rambo watched all this in silence.

While eating in the charity's tent, he whispered to Luke, "Thank you."

Along the way, he saw with his own eyes that children would ask Luke for candy when they saw him, and the elderly would also come up to Luke and chat with him.

The adults all smiled and nodded at him warmly.

In just a few days, Luke had bribed the entire village...

Luke really wasn't pretending, he was actually enjoying it.

The only trouble is that there are always local girls coming into his house...
