Chapter 366
The four of them returned to the inn and sat down. Didi made a pot of black tea and served a plate of butter biscuits. After the three old men explained what had happened, Jack secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
Bruce Willis, Sylvester Stallone, and Arnold Schwarzenegger are three European and American action movie actors that Jack liked very much in his previous life, and they are representatives of the old-school tough guys.
They are probably also the favorite Hollywood actors of many people born in the 1970s, 1980s and even the 1990s.
Bruce Willis is a little bit special in Jack's mind. He is different from the latter two muscular men who accidentally walked into the wrong bodybuilding competition venue.
Of course, this is not to say that he has no muscles, but compared to the latter two, his style is more ordinary. He is also a lone hero. His characters are always closer to ordinary people and extraordinarily down-to-earth.
Jack likes his "Die Hard" series very much, but in comparison, he prefers the science fiction film "12 Monkeys", "The Fifth Element", the thriller "The Sixth Sense" and his role in "The Last Day". "Your worker grandfather" who sacrificed his life to save mankind.
The two "Red Flames" filmed before he died due to illness can be regarded as the last afterglow of old-style action movies. Jack has watched them several times. This is why when he heard the name Frank Moses, he immediately The reason for numbness.
R.E.D is not a problem, nor is the Sunset Red Agent Team. Even those exaggerated action scenes in the original drama made him so cruel that he spent all the accumulated system gold coins.
Just click on the attributes and upgrade the skills to the master level. It is not impossible to achieve 70% to 80% of them.
But the problem is that in the first part of "Red Flame Battlefield", these old guys directly killed the vice president.
You must know that this world has most likely undergone reintegration and self-evolution. Although it seems somewhat paradoxical to Jack's previous life, the basic operating rules of the entire society are still similar.
It's just that in some places, good is better and bad is worse.
After so many years of Jack's observation, the social environment of America in this world is closer to that of his previous life around the millennium, and is far less "magical" than before he traveled through time.
Yes, the "Lighthouse Country" in this world is still quite a "Lighthouse" in most cases, unlike the crumbling "Empire Twilight" in the previous life.
And this also means that Jack must be more "cowardly" and try not to provoke the country's upper class, at least until he becomes "strong" enough.
Fortunately, after the three people's narration, he was finally relieved that what he needed to face now was not the one in the movie "Red Flame Battlefield" where he was going to challenge the CIA's top brass or even the vice president of this country.
Looking at the charming eldest sister in the photo handed over by Old Hunter, Jack felt happy in his heart. By coincidence, he had already guessed what was going on after contacting the unscrupulous guardian they talked about before.
This unpopular movie is called "I Care a Lot" (also known as "Perfect Guardian"). He just happened to watch it in his previous life. The eldest sister in the photo is named Marla Grayson, a professional guardian who owns a small guardianship company.
The 80-year-old retired black agent named Joe Mason is Frank Moses' former colleague at the CIA. He has been retired for nearly 20 years and has been living in Cold Spring Town anonymously, enjoying the rest of his life.
This old black man who looks exactly like Morgan Freeman was originally supposed to be a character in the first part of "Red Flame Battlefield".
How could these seemingly unrelated two people intersect, even leaving Frank Moses, the R.E.D., and the old Hunter couple at a loss, and finally had to ask Jack, the little FBI, for help?
That starts with this country’s bizarre custody system.
Perhaps many of you have seen that in some federal states, the custody rights of minors are arbitrarily deprived, and the intervention standards of child welfare agencies are too high, resulting in the forcible separation of many originally normal families.
However, custody abuse and fraud against the elderly population has become a hidden corner that no one pays attention to.
However, compared to minors who have little property to exploit, the elderly with generous property and pensions have become the targets of plunder.
If Britney Spears' experience of being forcibly guarded and exploited by her relatives is just a special case, then the elderly in this country, especially those who live a comfortable life, have gradually become fat and oily prey in the eyes of some people.
As an old agent who had worked for the CIA for nearly 40 years, Joe Mason became anonymous after retiring and chose to settle in Cold Spring, a small town adjacent to New York and across the river from West Point Military Academy.
Although he is now 80 years old, he is in good health and has a clear mind. He also employs two good-looking African-American caregivers who come to clean the house regularly every day, do housework for him, and take care of his eyes.
The CIA treated R.E.D well and gave him a generous pension. Joe Mason also used the savings he had saved during his many years of life and death to buy the small villa where he lives now.
Coupled with some diversified investment financial products, no surprise, even if the old man can live for another 50 years, he can still live comfortably.
However, no one expected that Marla Grayson, a hungry female wolf, would come smelling the smell of blood.
During an ordinary dermatology treatment, Joe Masson did not choose his original personal doctor, but found a clinic in the next town of Phillipstown.
Later, his information was betrayed by the doctor to Marla Grayson. The CIA forged a false identity for Joe Mason as a retired executive of a large company, but unexpectedly, he became a fat sheep in the eyes of the other party.
The doctor issued a certificate stating that Joe Matson was no longer able to take care of himself, and then the Putnam County Family Court spent a "full" 10 minutes and awarded him custody after a "strict" review. To Marla Grayson, a "caring" professional guardian who specializes in taking care of orphaned elderly people.
A few days later, Joe Mason, who was unaware of this and defenseless, was forcibly sent to an assisted living center. When he came to his senses, not only was his personal freedom restricted, but all his apparent abilities were also removed. The property was also completely taken over.
Marla Grayson sold the small villa that Joe Mason had bought for $3 million for $2 million, then sold three of his antique cars, and then cleared out all his stocks and bonds .
These plundered properties will be used to "pay" the service fees incurred by Marla Grayson in the process of "taking care of" Joe Mason in the next few years.
