Mercenary’s War
Chapter 1093 - 1093 One Thousand and Seventy-Six Nice to Meet You

1093: Chapter One Thousand and Seventy-Six: Nice to Meet You 1093: Chapter One Thousand and Seventy-Six: Nice to Meet You Gao Yang’s attitude dampened Marshall’s interest in conversation.

After discussing a few details, he got up and left.

Gao Yang returned to the corridor outside the operating room, where other than the bustling medical staff, only the uninjured mercenaries, including him, were present.

After sitting down, Gao Yang took a deep breath and asked Li Jinfang next to him, “Has there been any news from the operating room?”

Li Jinfang shook his head, saying, “No, it seems it won’t be over for a while, probably not until dawn.”

At that moment, Eileen spoke with a look of helplessness, “I hate hospitals.

I can’t stand the feeling of waiting in a hospital.

It’s just awful.”

Gao Yang replied solemnly, “On the contrary, I like hospitals.

Although being in a hospital is tormenting, at least there is hope there.”

If you’re dead, there’s no need for a hospital.

Being able to be rushed to a hospital for emergency care gives at least some hope.

While waiting with nothing to do, Gao Yang glanced at Number Thirteen sitting beside him and whispered, “When are you leaving?”

Number Thirteen whispered back, “I’ll leave at dawn.

The route is set; first to Lebanon, then to the United Arab Emirates, and from there onwards.”

Gao Yang nodded and said, “Go ahead.

Find her soon.

You can’t accomplish things without money.

Take what you need when you leave.”

After hesitating for a moment, Number Thirteen replied, “I need eighty thousand, but take out a hundred thousand for me when I leave.

However, I need it in cash.”

Gao Yang thought about it and said, “I don’t really have that much cash, but they have plenty.

I’ll swap with them; you take the cash, and I’ll transfer the funds to them.

That’s not a problem.

Also, take more, about two hundred thousand, just in case it’s not enough when you need it.

If you really encounter a situation where you urgently need money, call me.”

Number Thirteen replied gravely, “I’ve said before, I’m only with you to prevent your premature death, so you don’t need to pay me.”

Gao Yang smiled and replied, “Why talk such nonsense?

It’s pointless.”

Number Thirteen shrugged, “Well, you’re right, it is pointless.

Thanks anyway.”

After a brief hesitation, Number Thirteen whispered, “You know, I’m now a free agent.

My relationship with the Cleaners is only cooperative.

I plan to find my sister and then not return to the Cleaners.”

Feeling surprised, Gao Yang looked at Number Thirteen and asked, “Then what do you want to do?”

Number Thirteen looking down at his toes, said, “I’m thinking of sticking with you.

But does Satan have a place for me?”

Gao Yang chuckled, “With your skills, there’s definitely a place for you.

But after you find her, don’t you want to live a peaceful life?

I thought you would want to leave this life behind.”

Number Thirteen gave a wry smile and said, “Ram, people like us, what kind of life can we have?

All my skills, everything I’ve learned, is for killing.

I can’t imagine what living another lifestyle would be like, nor do I want to try.”

Gao Yang waved his hand dismissively, “Alright, as you wish.

Since you now know where she is, you no longer have a reason to stick with me.

Once you’ve done all you need to do, you can certainly choose a lifestyle you like.

If you find that the mercenary life suits you, then come and find me.

Satan’s doors are always open to you.”

After saying that, Gao Yang patted Number Thirteen’s shoulder and whispered, “If you need help, don’t hesitate.

You know what I mean.”

Number Thirteen smiled and whispered back, “Don’t worry, if I need help, I’ll tell you.

You know why I’d rather follow you than go back to the Cleaners?”

Gao Yang clenched his fist and struck a muscular pose, half-jokingly saying, “Because my personal charm utterly overwhelmed you, right?”

Number Thirteen shook his head with a disdainful look, “Don’t be too full of yourself, buddy.

Following a large organization may be easier, but there are too many rules.

As a mercenary, there’s more freedom, fewer constraints.

I find I like being a mercenary more than being a partner in a mysterious organization; less pressure, not so tense.”

After that, Number Thirteen’s tone shifted, but he smiled and said, “Of course, my choice to join Satan, rather than any other mercenary group, is indeed because of you, the leader.

I like the vibe of Satan; it’s just that way.”

Gao Yang gave Number Thirteen a push, joking, “It’s still because you’re drawn by my personal charm.

You know, this is called having charisma.

I’m telling you, although you’re a bit of a pretty boy, you’re quite popular with the ladies.

Any plans to get involved with that waitress who’s been waiting for you anxiously?”

Number Thirteen’s face changed, and he frowned, seeming somewhat disgusted.

After a moment, he said softly to Gao Yang, “No, my mentality has some problems; I might not be able to help but kill her.”

Gao Yang startled, exclaimed, “Really?

What, what’s wrong with you?”

Number Thirteen let out a sigh and said, “Childhood shadows, or rather, my upbringing twisted my psyche.

I understand this, but I have no intention to change it.

Don’t get me wrong, I don’t dislike women; I just sometimes feel the urge to kill them.”

He shook his head and waved his hand, a look of helplessness on his face, “Let’s not talk about this anymore.

I have improved a lot now.

Let’s talk about something serious.

Hmm, Dragon Knight is a good doctor, really a very good doctor.”

Number Thirteen’s disjointed remark baffled Gao Yang, who responded in a deep voice, “Of course, Dragon Knight is a good doctor.

What about it?”

Number Thirteen spoke softly, “Dragon Knight is a very good surgeon, but he’s not the best combat medic.”

Gao Yang’s mood seemed to drop a bit, he nodded and said, “Yes, there’s a bit of a difference between a combat medic and a doctor.”

Number Thirteen spoke softly, “Do you want to look for another military doctor?

I mean, a combat medic who’s much better than a regular one, the best kind.

I just happen to know one; he would complement Dragon Knight perfectly.”

Gao Yang sighed and said, “We do need a professional military doctor or a combat medic, but after Test Tube died, I don’t know if we can accept a new one.

Test Tube just died not long ago, and replacing him feels weird.”

Number Thirteen said seriously, “Don’t let emotions cloud your judgment.

The combat medic position is crucial.

What you should do is not reminisce about Test Tube, but find a new lifesaver for your team.”

Gao Yang breathed heavily and said, “Alright, you’re right, tell me about the military doctor you know.”

Number Thirteen spread his hands and said, “I just know of him; he doesn’t know me.

I don’t even know what that guy’s name is, but I’ve seen his skills.

He’s very impressive, a really fantastic military doctor.”

Pausing for a moment, Number Thirteen continued, “Murphy has contacts with that military doctor.

I can try getting Murphy to help make contact.”

Gao Yang exclaimed in surprise, “The cleaner?”

Number Thirteen smiled and said, “No, not a cleaner.

Just like me, an associate of the cleaner.

However, that person doesn’t even know about the existence of the cleaner.

The cleaner just has his details and pays him to help when a military doctor is needed, that’s all.

If he was one of the cleaner’s people, then he wouldn’t be able to join you.”

Gao Yang shrugged and said, “Alright, tell me about this guy.”

Number Thirteen paused for a moment and then said, “This person’s name is Albert.

He lives in Los Angeles and is a cop.

I don’t know why the cleaner in San Diego recruited him, but when I was there, this guy named Albert made a very deep impression on me.”

Gao Yang waved his hand and asked, “How so?”

Number Thirteen shrugged and said, “Well, this guy is incredibly quick at saving people, very quick.

He looks like someone with a lot of experience as a combat medic.

He’s as calm as if he was strolling in a storm of bullets.

I can’t say too much, but just know that this guy is skilled.”

Gao Yang frowned and said, “That guy’s a cop?

Los Angeles SWAT?”

Number Thirteen nodded and said, “No, just a regular patrol officer.

Plus, I don’t even know which police he belongs to, Federal, State, I’m not sure.

Definitely not SWAT.

Also, this guy is about forty-five years old.

That’s all I know.”

Gao Yang rubbed his chin and said, “Sounds complex.

But you said he’s a top-tier military doctor, but then why would a military doctor become a cop?

Anyway, these aren’t problems.

Ask Murphy about him, inquire about the details.”

Number Thirteen said seriously, “I’ll talk to Murphy about it.

Murphy will contact you, or maybe you can meet him in person.

It’s still uncertain, but we’ll see after you meet.”

Gao Yang nodded and said, “Right, we’ll see after meeting him.

To us, the ability is secondary; character is more important.

Even if he’s the best military doctor, if his character isn’t good, I wouldn’t let him join Satan.”

Number Thirteen sighed and said, “Understood.

Good military doctors are rare.

I’m just providing a lead.

Whether to use him or not is up to you.

I’ll call Murphy tomorrow and talk about this.

Murphy and I get along well; he’ll definitely help.”

Gao Yang smiled and said, “No need to rush, right?”

Number Thirteen shook his head and said, “I’m afraid if we delay, we might lose the chance.

Better to be quick about it.”

Gao Yang took a deep breath and said seriously, “Alright, you’re right.

Listen, pal, we can’t do without you for now, but I’ll soon be going to America.

If you need help, don’t forget to give me a call.”

Number Thirteen looked at Gao Yang steadily, then expressionlessly said, “You’ve already said that once.”

Gao Yang waved his hand and said, “What’s said can be said again, right?”

Number Thirteen stared deeply at Gao Yang, then suddenly extended his hand and said seriously, “I’m really glad to have met you.”

Gao Yang and Number Thirteen shook hands, smiling, “Likewise, likewise, I’m also glad to have met you, buddy.” (To be continued.
