Chapter 1404: 1386th Chapter: Bide One’s Time

Gao Yang patted Tommy on the shoulder and smiled at him, then Andre turned and got into his car, quickly driving towards the iron bridge with his men.

Watching Andre’s car speed away, Gao Yang looked at Tommy and said solemnly, "Are you okay?"

Tommy shook his head and said softly, "The ones who died were my friends. We’ve worked together for years, so of course I’m not feeling well, but what can I do? I’m already used to it."

Gao Yang sighed and then raised his arm.

The members of Satan quickly gathered around, and once everyone was close, Gao Yang said loudly, "Before we leave, there’s something I need to tell you. Firstly, a major event has happened. Djo Malthael has declared war on Grand Ivan. This is a world war in the Underworld, with Ukraine being the main battlefield. Given our good relationship with Grand Ivan and Uriyangko, we can’t distance ourselves from this. Personally, I’m inclined to join the fight, but from our group’s interest standpoint, it’s best to stay away from the storm center, so I’ve decided to only provide limited support to Andre for now, which is to lend him money.

Thirty million, I’m lending all our cash flow to Andre. Later, we’ll split up and get to work. Tommy, you and Leonard go home to collect the money and hand it over to Andre. As for the remaining part, I’ll have Little Donnie transfer it to him."

After Gao Yang spoke, everyone remained silent. Gao Yang exhaled and said loudly, "This matter can’t be spread around, absolutely not. Then, we’ll temporarily leave Ukraine. It’s just right; Andre can help us get the plane to Somalia, and he can also help us find the right people. So our current task is to take Berbera."

Glolov said solemnly, "So are we completely withdrawing from Ukraine?"

Gao Yang shook his head and said, "No, we’re temporarily leaving. We’ll wait and see. If Andre can maintain the situation in Ukraine, we’ll return and do arms business for him. If his situation goes awry, then we’ll stay as far away as possible."

Cui Bo couldn’t help but ask, "Do you know what’s happening with Grand Ivan? Things are like this, why hasn’t he come out yet?"

Gao Yang waved his hand and said, "I don’t know about Grand Ivan’s situation, but I think he should be fine. Alright, let’s leave here first. Tommy, take the cash back and with Yake, deliver the rest of the money to Andre. As for the others, stay alert and come with me to the hospital to see Shava."

Eileen raised her hand and said loudly, "Boss, I have a question to ask."

"Go ahead."

"I feel, hasn’t Djo Malthael already seen us as enemies? Do you think that’s possible?"

Gao Yang shrugged and said, "Of course, it’s very possible. We’re on good terms with Uriyangko; Djo knows that. Also, we’ve been active in Ukraine for a while now, Djo should be aware of that too. But that’s not the most critical issue right now. If Djo Malthael doesn’t provoke us, we’ll stay out of it and, apart from funding, won’t give Andre more support. But if Djo Malthael provokes us, then there’s no other choice; besides fighting back, we have no other options."

Albert looked confused and said, "Although I don’t understand what you’re talking about, it sounds really impressive. Postman, can you understand?"

Taylor shook his head and said solemnly, "No clue, but it doesn’t matter. Whatever, I’m used to following orders as a soldier."

Andy He laughed and said, "Let me explain it simply to you. Two arms giants are at war. Combined, they hold eighty percent of the world’s arms black market share."

Albert’s mouth dropped open, and he shouted, "F**k! That’s so powerful!"

Andy He chuckled and said, "Exactly, that’s how powerful it is. It’s like America and the Soviet Union going to war, the Third World War. And as for us, we’re deeply connected to one side with a good relationship, so we can’t avoid it."

Albert spread his hands and said, "What kind of relationship? Allies? Or the kind controlled by another country? Can’t avoid fighting?"

Andy He pondered for a moment, shrugged, and said, "Not allies, nor controlled, but we have a good relationship. If Djo Malthael thinks we won’t be a threat, then we won’t be attacked. But if he thinks we might join the fight, then he’d probably eliminate us first."

Albert exhaled and said solemnly, "Alright, I get it. What benefits can we gain then?"

Everyone looked towards Gao Yang. Gao Yang smiled and said seriously, "Given our current level of involvement, as long as Andre wins, we’ll get a lot of money, heaps of money, and in Ukraine, we can do whatever we want. If he loses, we’ll lose everything and never be able to enter Ukraine again. If we directly join the fight and win, we’ll be the most powerful mercenary group in the world. Our company operations will cover every corner of the Earth, and we’ll be the most influential people in the Underworld. Of course, if we lose, we’re done for, and not a single one of us will escape."

Albert was stunned and said, "Wow, the rewards of victory are so bountiful, the consequences of failure is death. That sounds intense!"

Gao Yang shrugged and smiled, "That’s why I’m not rushing to make a decision. Alright, let’s hurry and get in the car. Andre has safely crossed the iron bridge, we can leave now. We’ll have a meeting to discuss things thoroughly later, so save your questions for then."

As everyone got into the car, once it started, Eileen couldn’t help but whisper to Gao Yang, "Boss, are we really going to stand by and watch?"

Gao Yang shook his head and said seriously, "It’s not standing by, it’s waiting for the right moment."

Eileen frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"

Gao Yang exhaled and whispered, "Given my relationship with Grand Ivan, I can’t stand by idly, but I also can’t risk everyone’s lives on a war with an unpredictable outcome. If I go in, can you stay out? So the current situation is just fine, emptying our coffers to support Andre, giving him enough strength to counterattack is sufficient."

After finishing, Gao Yang hesitated for a moment but still whispered, "This decision is made from an emotional standpoint. In terms of our interests, we might directly participate in the war, but we’ll have to pick the right timing. Like America, after World War I became a major power, after World War II became a superpower. It’s very possible that this fight between Grand Ivan and Djo will reshuffle the order of the global arms market. If we’re going to get involved, we have to choose a good time to do it; either we don’t fight, or we fight to create a fortune that we can’t spend in a lifetime!" (To be continued.
