Mercenary’s War
Chapter 1370 - 1,353: Aura

Chapter 1370: Chapter 1,353: Aura

Gao Yang wants to go with to look for Lame Azaro, and of course Shava won’t refuse such a request.

If it wasn’t a special need, Gao Yang usually wouldn’t drink, but right now he really needs a drink to calm himself down. After diving headfirst into the deep waters of arms trading, his psyche has been strongly shaken.

After adapting to his mercenary identity, which relied on solving all problems with violence, and officially testing the waters as an arms dealer, Gao Yang has to constantly remind himself that the identity of an arms dealer is only temporary. It’s only because he has enough face with Grand Ivan to make a quick fortune and leave. He must understand this point.

It’s too easy to earn; money practically drops from the sky. This is the environment of an arms dealer who has caught a good time. This money comes too simply, and Gao Yang fears that he won’t be able to give up this super profitable side gig as an arms dealer.

Fighting a battle, earning tens of millions of US dollars—this is the highest income level in the mercenary circle. For ultra-small mercenary groups to reach this level of income is incredibly high, but compared to arms trading, this income is shockingly low. Ten or so people risking their lives in a battle don’t earn as much as an arms dealer does with a few short sentences.

Of course, arms dealers also have to look at timing. If they catch a good opportunity, they can make a few explosive profits; if they miss a good time, they can only slowly go on, like Uriyangko, who didn’t catch a good time and has been selling small scattered items in Africa.

But, without a doubt, the golden age of arms dealers is here again.

The years during the Soviet Union’s dissolution were the golden age of collective revelry for arms dealers, and now the chaotic situation has reached another golden age for them. The Ukraine has a large amount of arms that can be bought at super low prices, and the best part is that there are enough battlefields to sell these things again.

A buy-sell situation is what makes a trade, and the current situation is having places to buy and places to sell. Undoubtedly, this is the golden age, but of course, this golden age of revelry for arms dealers is naturally the dark age for the ordinary people in those war-torn areas.

First went to Shava’s nightclub, got to the second floor, hurriedly sat on the sofa, then Shava called for someone to bring out his good alcohol, poured it personally for himself and Gao Yang, and the two drank it up in one go.

Drinking the super expensive whiskey sent by Gao Yang, Shava, with much bravado, loudly said to his group of underlings, "Gather the people! We’re going to find Lame Azaro!"

Shava clearly got excited, and after shouting, he loudly said to Gao Yang, "Do you want another drink? We should head out now. If you still want to drink, we can continue after we come back."

Gao Yang smiled and said, "No, let’s go."

Standing up from the sofa, Gao Yang smiled at Eileen and said, "Now, you’re the Boss."

Gao Yang stepped forward and took the briefcase from Eileen’s hand. After stretching her shoulders, Eileen excitedly said, "Let’s go."

Eileen walked boldly ahead, while Gao Yang and Shava followed behind her. When they reached the back door of the nightclub, a group of around a hundred people had already gathered. Most of them were holding AK74 rifles, waiting for Shava to come out. A few people walked up to him and loudly said, "Boss, everything is ready."

Shava waved his hand and shouted, "Let’s go."

After shouting, about a hundred people spread out and got into a dozen or so cars. At this moment, Shava turned back to Gao Yang and said, "Brother, follow my car with yours."

Shava, in high spirits, got into his car, and when those waiting for him had mostly boarded, Eileen, rather reluctantly, looked at Gao Yang and then said with a bitter face, "Boss, our people are still too few. It’s just the three of us; there’s no presence."

Gao Yang laughed and said, "Next time, next time, next time during negotiations, we’ll recruit more people for you to show support. Let’s make do this time."

Eileen pouted and said, "But I really want to experience being the boss once, with an entourage, full of murderous intent, going to negotiate with another Gang boss, just like in the movies. Alas, with fewer people, it’s not fun, there’s no presence."

Li Jin glared and said, "No presence? Who says fewer people means no presence? That’s because you don’t have enough aura. Just wait, even with just the three of us, I can give you presence, but the premise is you must have aura yourself."

Eileen straightened her chest, viciously said, "Let’s go, let’s teach Lame Azaro a lesson!"

Over a hundred people, driving more than thirty cars, they set off grandly onto the street.

It was already past ten o’clock at night, plus the situation was already chaotic, so there was not a single pedestrian on the street. The convoy moved swiftly, and soon began to park successively in front of a street-front residence.

The spot at the entrance was reserved for Shava’s car, and of course, the car Gao Yang and the others were in also stopped at the entrance.

Shava got out of the car directly and stood in front of the iron gate. Then he reached out his hand, and when an underling cleverly handed him a rifle, Shava picked up the rifle and fired at the iron gate.

After firing a burst of bullets, Shava swung the gun up, then shouted, "Lame Azaro! I know you are inside. Open the door for me to go in right now, or I will go in myself. Your choice!"

No one responded from inside the gate. Shava held the gun in one hand and extended his left hand, while an underling handed him a cigarette. After Shava bit the cigarette, they lit it for him.

Taking a drag on his cigarette, Shava shouted, "Lame Azaro! You intend to shut me out, don’t you?"

Just at that moment, a flash of fire flickered from a window on the second floor, followed by the bang of a gunshot, and a burst of sparks flew from next to Shava’s feet.

Instinctively, everyone ducked their heads and bent down, including Shava, who just moments ago had been flaunting his domineering style. At this moment, Gao Yang reached out, drew his gun, and also fired a shot.

As Shava and his crew instinctively ducked their heads and bent down, preparing to retaliate or seek cover, Gao Yang had already withdrawn his gun, while someone at the recently fired-upon window was screaming in agony loudly.

Li Jinfang whispered into Eileen’s ear, "See? Fewer people don’t mean less momentum. To be a leader, you must learn the boss’s way of handling things."

Gao Yang lifted his suit jacket and slowly holstered his gun.

Standing up awkwardly, Shava angrily tossed his cigarette to the ground, stepped on it, then raised his rifle with both hands and shouted, "Lame Azaro, you brought this on yourself!"

At this moment, a hoarse voice shouted, "Who are you?"

Shava replied forcefully, "White Shark Gang! Shava!"

"Damn, I thought you were one of Nedekalo’s people. Shava! We have no feud. Why have you come to my home?"

Shava responded angrily, "Either I storm in and tell you why, or you come out right now and open the door for me! I’m telling you I’m out of patience!"

After a brief pause, the hoarse voice said, "I’ll come to open the door for you."

Shava lowered his gun and angrily complained to the people beside him, "That damned old man."

After speaking, he turned and awkwardly twisted his neck towards Gao Yang, saying with a hint of embarrassment, "Your shooting skills are excellent."

Gao Yang shrugged, pointed to Eileen beside him, and whispered, "She’s the boss. I’m the bodyguard."

Shava smiled and nodded at Eileen, then turned and shouted towards the door, "Hurry up!"

The lights in the living room came on first, followed by the porch light outside, and then the door opened. An aged, pot-bellied, round-faced, short, and stout old man, wearing pajamas and leaning on a cane, limped toward the door.

Upon reaching the door, he looked at Shava with surprise and anger but not fear, before reaching into the door to operate something, causing the iron gate to slowly slide open to the sides.

Shava handed his gun to someone next to him, then glowered menacingly at the old man, saying, "Azaro, your guys just shot at me."

Azaro pursed his lips, scrutinized Shava, and suddenly said, "You should have stated your affiliation sooner. My bodyguards thought you were Nedekalo’s men. You’re unharmed, but my bodyguard took the bullet. If you want to talk to me, please come in."

Lame Azaro appeared more imposing than Shava, and after chuckling coldly twice, Shava gestured invitingly towards Eileen before loudly saying, "Sorry to keep you waiting. Let’s talk inside."

Shava, taking charge despite being a guest, invited Eileen and then strode ahead into the living room, followed closely by Eileen, Gao Yang, and his two associates. Besides the two bodyguards accompanying Shava inside, the rest remained outside, watching warily with guns, looking fierce and menacing, stationed on the road.

Azaro limped behind them into the living room.

Inside the living room, two casually dressed gunmen eyed Shava and his crew nervously, but Shava ignored Azaro’s bodyguards and sat down boldly on the sofa before motioning Eileen to sit down too. Then, he loudly addressed Azaro, who had just entered, "Azaro, you know who I am, right?"

Azaro nodded, responding solemnly, "White Shark Gang, of course I know. I’ve heard your name before."

Shava nodded and pointed to the sofa across from him, boasting arrogantly, "I’ve come to inform you of two things. First, the East Kiev area is now my territory. I have no interest in your petty thieves or your revenue streams, so you can continue with your business. However, if you intend to steal from my territory again, you’ll have to cut me in."

Azaro sighed, nodded his head towards Shava, and loudly asked, "What’s the second thing?"

"I’ve heard you have quite a collection of antique hunting rifles here. Now, bring them out for me. That’s the second thing." (To be continued.
