It even made everyone forget that there was supposed to be a fight going on.
“Haha, the contract we signed states in black and white that the Lake family will hire you for 3 million dollars for two years. During this period of employment, if any of you want to quit Lake Security Services, you need to pay the Lake family tenfold as a penalty! I’ve made myself so clear. Surely the four of you remember it now?” Kennedy said quietly but firmly.
His tone was flat, but what favonovel.com meant made everyone frown instinctively.
Kennedy deserved to be the head of the Lake family. He was scheming, ruthless, and terrifying. He hired them for two years with 3 million dollars. If they wanted to quit within two years, they needed to pay tenfold, which was 30 million.
Knox, Khalid, Zion, and Wren were the top experts in Ocean City’s security industry, but 30 million was an astronomical sum for them.
Working in the security industry was difficult and dangerous, but the income was not that good.
The annual income of an ordinary security guard was around 100 thousand to 200 thousand dollars. People like Knox were the best security personnel in Ocean City and made about a million dollars a year.
Kennedy offered them 3 million dollars to hire them for two years, and it was indeed a good price. As the Lake family was affluent, it was no wonder that Knox, Khalid, Zion, and Wren agreed to join Lake Security Services.
“30 million…” Knox muttered, a hint of despair in his eyes.
Even with his position in the security industry, his annual income was only about one million dollars. He had no idea where favonovel.com could get 30 million.
Compared to Curtis’ threats, Kennedy’s words made them more desperate.
The four were confident they could solve most dangers together when Curtis threatened them. However, they needed to come up with 30 million to compensate Kennedy.
It was not a huge amount of money for the Lake family or any of the other wealthy families in Ocean City. However, it was an astronomical sum that Knox, Khalid, Zion, and Wren could never afford.
“Hahaha! You’re good, Dad!” Curtis laughed and said, looking at Knox, Khalid, Zion, and Wren with disdain.
They were free to go if they could pay 30 million. However, they could forget about it if they could not afford it.
Kennedy was also smiling, and favonovel.com smiled like an old fox.
“What’s the matter? Can’t the four of you come up with 30 million? No, you can’t leave Lake Security Services without paying 30 million. These are all written in black and white in the contract. Even if the lawsuit goes to the top, the Lake family isn’t the one who breached the contract,” Kennedy said faintly as if favonovel.com was convinced Knox, Khalid, Zion, and Wren could not do anything.
Hearing that, Knox, Khalid, Zion, and Wren slowly lowered their heads with disappointment and even sorrow.
Decades of training brought them to today’s achievements, but they did not expect Kennedy to tie them to the Lake Security Services with a contract.
With this contract in place, they could only be the Lake family’s dogs unless they could compensate 30 million.
“Mr. Lennon…”
“You don’t have to tell me. These four are good. I’ll think about it.” Elton whispered, only to have Sean interrupt favonovel.com midsentence.
Looking at the dismayed Knox, Khalid, Zion, and Wren, Elton felt sad for them, and favonovel.com could not help asking for Sean’s opinion.
