Mercenary’s War
Chapter 523 - 523 519 Sudden Change

523: Chapter 519: Sudden Change 523: Chapter 519: Sudden Change Ivan was very excited, Sergei looked concerned.

He gave Gao Yang a meaningful glance and then coughed softly, but Gao Yang just shook his head slightly at Sergei.

He then continued to Ivan, “Sounds impressive.

It would indeed be great if you can pull it off.

So, have you figured out how to capture your enemy alive?”

Ivan frowned and said, “Right now, there’s a lack of essential intelligence.

Such details cannot be determined yet, but I think there should be no problem.

It’s not about whether we can keep it going.”

After speaking, Ivan’s expression turned angry, and he even waved his arm weakly, declaring firmly, “Anyway, no matter what, I’m going to do it.

If one day isn’t enough, then a month, if a month isn’t enough, then a year, and if a year isn’t enough, I’ll spend my lifetime.

In any case, I’m committed to this.”

Sergei looked worried and coughed lightly, saying, “Ram, Ivan is too agitated.

Let’s let him rest a bit.

Why don’t we leave first and come back later?”

Before Gao Yang could respond, Andy He, who had been sitting in the corner all along, suddenly said, “No, no need, let him talk.

It’s good, I want to know too.”

After he spoke, Andy He gave Sergei a sign.

Although Sergei was puzzled, he did not speak again, still looking worried.

Under Gao Yang’s persistent questioning, Ivan revealed many detailed issues.

As he spoke, Ivan gradually became more excited, pathologically so.

Ivan momentarily escaped from his pain and focused all his attention on how to take revenge.

In his conversation with Gao Yang, Ivan soon developed a preliminary revenge plan.

Ivan’s revenge plan was quite extensive.

It was now basically confirmed that his enemies were from a gang, and which gang it was, had already been identified.

Thus, the family, relatives, friends, and fellow gang members of that gang leader were all within Ivan’s scope of revenge.

Originally, it was just an idea, but Gao Yang’s psychological intervention turned this idea into a plan.

Later, Ivan and Gao Yang discussed specifics like when to take action.

Feeling it was enough after Ivan had completely entered the state of planning his revenge, Gao Yang ceased their discussion.

Ivan’s revenge plan would cost many lives.

Reflecting on Ivan’s plan, Gao Yang felt he had unleashed a demon.

However, Gao Yang wasn’t concerned at all.

Since Ivan’s enemies were also his, no matter how many people died, it had nothing to do with him.

Worrying for his enemies was not Gao Yang’s style.

Having said goodbye to Ivan and not walking far, Gao Yang’s phone rang.

The call was from Uriyangko; he had been the one calling most frequently lately, several times a day.

Gao Yang initially thought it was another routine call with updates, but unexpectedly, it was exhilarating good news.

“Ram, the negotiation was successful.

The government forces will withdraw after successfully annihilating you all, but you could be anyone.

You understand what I mean, right?”

Gao Yang, excited, said, “So, you mean, we just find a scapegoat, eliminate them, and then everything’s settled, right?”

Uriyangko, too, was excited and said, “Exactly right.

FAEC made concessions.

They are willing to suffer a loss of dignity to give the Colombian Government a way out.

They’ve reached an agreement now.

The Colombian Government will announce they wiped out all of you in Bogota City District, and FAEC will coordinate in publicizing this.

So, all issues are solved, now we just need to find a scapegoat.”

Gao Yang breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, “That’s the easiest part, isn’t it?

There are so many drug trafficker’s camps here, loads of them, just pick any, right?”

“Exactly, that’s it.

The specific operation details have not been worked out yet, still waiting on FAEC’s negotiation, but the remaining issues are minor, and I think we’ll soon have the final plan.”

Gao Yang smiled and said, “Very good, to get rid of our current situation sooner, I’m very willing to cooperate.

Anything we need to do?”

“It’s not very clear yet whether your cooperation is needed, but it’s settled that you need to leave some anti-aircraft missiles for the government forces to seize.

I assume you still have some anti-aircraft missiles left?”

Gao Yang chuckled and said, “Of course, we still have plenty left.

I personally have four, and Angel Mercenary Corps has even more.

Just for evidence, this is certainly enough.”

Uriyangko was also in an excellent mood.

He laughed heartily and said loudly, “Buddy, speaking of anti-aircraft missiles, there’s something I need to thank you for.

You know, everything that happened in Colombia has been getting a lot of attention, constantly making the news.

And the missile launchers you used were picked up and even ended up on TV.

My people in Africa told me that lots of folks are ordering Sam-7s now, haha.

I can clear out my stock of Sam-7s.

This outdated missile was tough to sell, but your incident advertised it, and now Sam-7 is popular with the poor again.”

Gao Yang was rather speechless, realizing that their repeated mishaps in Colombia had inadvertently promoted the Sam-7.

Nowadays, people were no longer interested in such outdated missiles, even the very poor looked to newer models to truly intimidate.

After reflecting on this, Gao Yang smiled and said, “Make sure you pay me for the advertising when the time comes.

Pay me directly.

Although most of the work was done by people from the Angel Mercenary Corps, don’t forget that they are your brand ambassadors.”

When Gao Yang had first met Uriyangko, they had become his brand endorsers, just to save some money on equipment.

But the Satan Mercenary Corps rapidly moved beyond the Cannon Fodder Mercenary Corps, no longer selling their lives for a day’s wage, and turned into a top-tier mercenary group that only accepted high-paying missions.

However, the initial deal they struck with Uriyangko was still in place, even if it was no longer taken seriously by anyone.

Now, Gao Yang and his team looked down on the small arms that Uriyangko could supply; their sights were set on various custom, high-end types.

Still, the business dealings between Gao Yang and Uriyangko had long transcended mere small arms.

Gao Yang’s joke made Uriyangko quite reflective.

He sighed deeply and then laughed, “Ram, to tell you the truth, I never thought you’d get this far.

When I first knew you, you were just four people.

I’d never seen such a small mercenary group.”

“Honestly, I really didn’t expect you to reach this point today.

I thought a few of you would die in Libya, then disband or maybe just all get killed.

Ha, super small mercenary groups—I haven’t heard that term in years because they are synonymous with cannon fodder, just like free mercenaries, not long before they turn into actual cannon fodder.

Now it’s a PMC world, not a mercenary world.”

“It hasn’t been that long, and you’ve brought Satan to this stage today.

You’ve done well.”

Gao Yang laughed heartily and said, “We’ve been lucky, and most importantly, although we’re few, we’re capable.”

Uriyangko also laughed heartily and said, “I was just supposed to give you a quick notice, but we ended up chatting so much.

Alright, I need to hang up now.

We’ll talk more when we meet.

I have to handle some specifics now.

Also, Grand Ivan wants to call you; I can’t keep the big boss waiting.

So, goodbye for now.

We’ll meet up soon, buddy.”

After hanging up the phone, it was less than a minute before Grand Ivan indeed called.

As soon as Gao Yang answered the phone, Grand Ivan spoke in a grave voice, “Did Uri just call you?”

“Yes, he did.”

“Good, then you must already know the situation.

Now it’s finally time to wrap things up.

Once this is concluded, I will immediately arrange for Ivan to be brought over here.

At the same time, I’d like to invite you and Ivan to come over.

I would very much appreciate it if you could bring all your members to visit me.

Is that convenient for you?”

Gao Yang knew that saving Ivan meant that Grand Ivan surely intended to thank them.

However, Grand Ivan had never mentioned exactly how he planned to express his gratitude.

Now, by inviting all members of Satan to South Africa, it was definitely his way of showing his thanks in person.

However, after a long period of fighting and hiding, Gao Yang was weary both in body and mind.

Now, he just wanted to spend some time with Yelena and see if Catherine had fully recovered.

All in all, Gao Yang just wanted some downtime.

Gao Yang didn’t know how Grand Ivan planned to thank him, but it was unlikely to be just a cash payment.

Life was certainly more valuable than money.

If it were just about money, Gao Yang and his team wouldn’t have risked their lives to protect Ivan, especially in a near-death situation.

If Ivan had died, how could they have been repaid, especially since they didn’t even know at the time that Ivan was Grand Ivan’s nephew?

So, Gao Yang hadn’t expected any reward at the moment.

Though not coveting any reward, it was still good that Grand Ivan was eager to repay them.

Grand Ivan’s due repayments, whenever they might come, were sure to arrive eventually.

Whether it was sooner or later didn’t matter much.

If they went with Ivan to South Africa, it seemed a bit beneath them, so Gao Yang decided to go back and recuperate for a while.

There was no hurry to meet Grand Ivan.

After briefly pondering, Gao Yang then spoke apologetically: “I’m sorry, I can’t accept your invitation now.

I still have some matters to handle.”

Grand Ivan responded readily, “No problem.

We will have plenty of time to meet in the future.

Whenever you’ve handled your affairs, let’s talk then.

Keep in touch.

You know my identity poses some problems, making it inconvenient to visit you, but I really look forward to our meeting.

My doors are always open to welcome you.

Well then, let’s leave it at that for now.

We’ll talk more later.”

Just as Gao Yang was about to politely say a few more words and hang up, he suddenly heard a gunshot, followed by continuous gunfire.

Then, Cui Bo urgently spoke through the walkie-talkie, “Sniper position two reporting, enemy sighted appearing from the mountain behind me, directional mines not triggered, enemy has initiated an attack, engaging in firefight, repeat, enemy has initiated an attack, engaging in firefight!”(To be continued.
