Mercenary’s War
Chapter 1183 - 1183 One Thousand One Hundred Sixty-Six Go Create Your Era

1183: Chapter One Thousand One Hundred Sixty-Six: Go Create Your Era 1183: Chapter One Thousand One Hundred Sixty-Six: Go Create Your Era Gao Yang was going to attend a socialite party, and for him, it wasn’t a big deal.

Recently, he had met quite a few notable people, and while he wouldn’t dare to claim himself as a person of great importance, he definitely wouldn’t feel out of place or panicked in a gathering of VIPs.

He had to wear formal attire, so he thought he might as well just wear a suit.

Gao Yang’s clothes and some valuable items were all at Yelena’s, so he just needed to change his clothes and wait for Morgan to pick him up at the agreed time.

However, Yelena was much more concerned about Gao Yang’s appearance than he was.

Right after dinner, she started dragging Gao Yang to try on his clothes.

In fact, Gao Yang’s formal attire, which was purchased for Frey’s wedding, was quite nice.

He had everything: a suit, dress shirt, tie, and leather shoes, and they were all high-quality items that wouldn’t be embarrassing to wear to important events.

Yet, this sole set of attire, which didn’t really have any alternatives, was fussed over by Yelena countless times.

Gao Yang, who was used to wearing military boots, felt quite awkward in leather shoes, as if he had forgotten how to walk properly.

And that wasn’t all; when he put on a dress shirt and tied a necktie, it gave him a sensation of being unable to breathe properly.

“No, this bow tie isn’t quite right.

I think you’re more suited to wearing a necktie.

I’ll change it for you,” Yelena said cheerfully as she stood behind Gao Yang, took off the bow tie she had just tied for him, then picked up a necktie that Gao Yang had already tried on twice and tied it around his neck.

After looking at Gao Yang in the mirror and then stepping in front of him to adjust his necktie, Yelena said with a troubled face, “Dear, this diagonal-striped tie seems not dignified enough, and the red one with dots makes you look too mature.

Dear, shall we go buy two more ties?”

Gao Yang waved his hand, saying, “No, there’s no need.

The red dotted tie is fine, that one’s good.”

After examining for a long while, Yelena finally nodded and said, “Alright, let’s go with this one.

We don’t have enough time to buy a new tie.”

As if they had time, it took over two hours just to get a haircut and styling done, then changing dress shirts and ties again took another two hours.

With all this preparation, it was almost 7:30 PM already, definitely no spare time left.

After Gao Yang had made up his mind, Yelena looked him over from head to toe, then finally nodded and said, “Alright, the suit is a bit too stern, not suitable to be matched with a youthful dress shirt, so you can only wear this dress shirt.

As for the tie, switch it to the light purple one that suits your age, yeah, that’s better.”

Gao Yang sighed and subconsciously tried to smooth his hair, but was stopped by Yelena who grabbed his hand and said anxiously, “Don’t move, don’t mess up your hairstyle, you look best this way, stay still.”

Gao Yang smiled helplessly.

Yelena stepped back and took another careful look at Gao Yang, then frowned and said, “It’s perfect, very handsome, but it feels like something is missing.

What could it be?”

After pondering for a long time with furrowed brows, Yelena finally had a realization, slapping her hand and exclaiming, “Oh my God, a watch, I can’t believe I forgot about the watch!”

Gao Yang was used to wearing a military watch, but he obviously couldn’t wear it with formal attire, so he had taken it off.

Yelena had finally figured out what Gao Yang was lacking.

She hurried to her closet, took out a box, and then, taking out a gold watch from the box, she ran to Gao Yang and said loudly, “Luckily you have a suitable watch, quick, put it on.”

Seeing the watch Yelena brought out, Gao Yang remembered he indeed had a very valuable gold watch.

The watch Yelena had taken out was the Vacheron Constantin gold watch that Frey had taken from Gaddafi’s palace and then given to Gao Yang, and of course, a watch from Gaddafi had to be of no small worth.

After helping Gao Yang to put on the gold watch, Yelena looked at it and then nodded, saying, “Mhm, that’s better now, nothing’s missing.”

Gao Yang felt like he had been pardoned and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Yelena dragged him into the living room, where he sat down to be admired by Glolov and Natalia for his appearance, until Morgan’s call finally came.

The call from Morgan came a bit earlier than expected, but when Gao Yang hurried downstairs, a Rolls-Royce had just stopped in front of him.

There were two cars, a Rolls-Royce and a Bentley which Gao Yang had seen Morgan ride before.

After the passenger door of the Rolls-Royce was opened, a bodyguard stepped out and opened the rear right-side door.

With one hand holding the top of the door, he gestured to Gao Yang to please enter.

Gao Yang walked over, got into the car, and after the bodyguard on the passenger seat closed the door, he sat back down and the two cars started moving together.

Morgan was also in the car, and Gao Yang chuckled, “What, changed cars again?”

Morgan shrugged and said, “Yes, it’s newly purchased.

Gao, I didn’t expect you to look so sharp in a suit.

I think you look much more fitting in a suit than in military garb.”

After laughing, Morgan leaned closer to Gao Yang and whispered, “Gao, at tonight’s gala I’ll introduce you to a few people, some of whom are key figures.

You should remember them.

There’s one important person named Jonathan, he’s a senator, and you need to chat with him more.

He’s one of ours, so he will show goodwill towards you; don’t be too nervous.”

Gao Yang nodded and said, “Got it.

But I want to know, what kind of event is tonight’s gala?”

Morgan waved his hand and said, “A gala is just that, nothing special.

Tonight’s gala is merely a social networking event; don’t think too much of it.”

Morgan was earnest and good at persuading, treating Gao Yang as a nephew that needed to be mentored, continuously instructing him on what to pay attention to and how to deal with the big figures, talking the entire way.

In fact, Gao Yang wasn’t really nervous, but being nervous was one thing; whether he would commit a faux pas in a setting he had never experienced before was another.

As a mercenary who usually dealt with rough characters, if he acted like a mercenary in such a setting, it would be quite embarrassing.

That’s why Morgan kept advising him on what etiquette to observe.

The venue for the gala was a luxurious villa in the suburbs of New York City, not the hotel that Gao Yang had imagined.

The two cars entered a large villa complex.

Not only were the buildings impressive, but even the roadside trees and green spaces highlighted the luxury of the villas.

Before entering the villa complex, Gao Yang noticed that they had just passed a golf course.

After entering the villa complex, Morgan picked up two invitations from beside him, handed one to Gao Yang, and chuckled, “This one’s yours.”

Gao Yang thought he would be entering as Morgan’s companion, so he was surprised to have an invitation for himself and exclaimed, “I have an invitation?”

Morgan shrugged and said, “You need to enter as an invited guest, so of course you need an invitation.

Otherwise, what?

Act as my bodyguard?

Haha, Gao, remember, you’re a man of status now!”

Gao Yang opened the finely printed invitation and indeed saw his name on it.

The car soon stopped at the gate of an immensely sprawling villa, with a red carpet stretching from the front of the gate where the car stopped all the way to the brightly lit villa entrance.

As soon as the car came to a halt, the attendants standing by the roadside at the gate immediately approached the car door.

Afterward, a black man in a red uniform opened the car door, reached out to hold the door, bowed his head, and after Gao Yang alighted and closed the door, he politely asked, “Sir, are you here to attend Mr.

Johnny’s gala?”

Gao Yang handed the invitation to the attendant with a smile, “Yes.”

The attendant opened the invitation, took a glance, bowed, and made a welcoming gesture, smiling, “Mr.

Gao, welcome to the gala.

Please come in.”

Once Gao Yang and Morgan had both exited the car, it drove away, and more luxury cars continued to arrive one after another.

It seemed there would be no shortage of cars and people.

Gao Yang had thought attending a gala was no big deal, but when he saw a person who he often saw on television stepping out of a newly arrived car, he suddenly started to feel a bit nervous.

Gao Yang looked back at Morgan, who by then had also handed his invitation to an attendant.

Morgan gave Gao Yang an encouraging smile, then gestured to him to move forward.

Gao Yang took a deep breath and walked shoulder to shoulder with Morgan towards the villa.

Just as they had taken a few steps, Morgan suddenly patted Gao Yang on the shoulder, pointed at the villa, then smiled and said, “Gao, go on.

Conquer everyone inside, create an era that belongs to you!” (To be continued.
