"Alberto, Luca you're late for dinner. What happened?"

Massimo asks the two boys.

"We ran into Ercole."

"That catfish dare show his face here again and hurt my friends!?"

"Don't worry we didn't get hurt, some men came and helped us get rid of him." Luca explains to Gulia and Massimo.

"Hhmm. What did these men look like? I would like to thank them." Massimo asks Luca and Alberto.

"One was as short as Ercole and looked like a construction worker. The other one looked like a cowboy." Alberto answers Massimo's question.

—————————————— The next day—————————————

As the sun began to rise, Engineer sat on the balcony of the inn they were staying.

"Rise and shine boys!" Engi woke up the other mercs.

Last night, after Engie and Sniper patrolled the area, and talked to the locals. All the mercs made a plan.

The plan was to use the money they had, on building a house.

Luckily for them, Engi and Sniper found a nice spot to build a house.

After they buy the land and build the house, they would try to get jobs.

Now, you may be wondering, "Why do the mercs need jobs? They have 2 million euros!" well Engineer remembered 9 full-grown men would need a lot of space and food.

So that was the plan.

Today was the day the mercs would buy the land.

Engineer and Spy would go and try to buy it from whoever owned it.

"All righty then, you lot stay here while me and Spy try buying that plot of land." Engineer says.

--10 minutes later--

Engineer and Spy arrived at the area the team wanted to buy.

It was a fairly large plot of land overlooking the cliffside. Sitting by the old tower that came with the land was an old man taking a small nap.

"Ahem. Excuse us mister, but me and my friend here noticed the sign over there saying "for sale" How much money are you willing to ask for this lovely plot of land?" Spy asked the old man.

"Eh? Buy this land? Nobody has tried buying this land in 3 years! So I'd say... 32,000 lira."

The man said, not expect Engineer and spy to pay that much money.

Before the man could continue talking, Spy pulled out a solid block of gold.

"Santa Lucia! Where did y-"

"Just take the money." Spy said.

--20 minutes later--

After signing some papers (with forged signatures) the land was officially owned by the mercs.

"Well then, we better pick up the rest of the boys and start looking for ways to get back home." Engineer said to Spy.

"You know Engineer, this isn't my first time here in Italy," Spy told Engineer

"Of course, it isn't! You're a Spy! What kind of friend would I be if I hardly knew your personal life?" Engineer said to Spy.

Spy just looked at Engineer.

"Before I met Scout's mother, I knew a woman here in Italy.

She died in a car accident before I confessed to her. Saddened I moved away from Europe and went to America, where I met the true love of my life." Spy said reminiscing about the time he met Scout's mother for the first time.

"Well, I guess you can now reminisce more about your time here in Europe." Engineer said with a chuckle. Leaving Spy to his own business.

--Meanwhile in Portarosso, a few hours later--

"Did you hear about the old plot of land?" A villager whispered to another villager.

"Si, someone bought it." The villager answered his friend.

"Who bought it?" Massimo, who was also in the conversation asked.

"Two foreigners. One of them looked like a construction worker the other wore a suit and mask."

"Hhmm. Did they say where they are from?" Massimo asks the two villagers.

"No." The other villager says.

"I might have to check there later." Massimo says.
