Chapter 554 - 554 Five Hundred and Forty-Nine Yes Sir!
554: Chapter Five Hundred and Forty-Nine: Yes, Sir!
554: Chapter Five Hundred and Forty-Nine: Yes, Sir!
“Report, sir, because I aim to be the best!”
After a decisive response, Eileen clenched her fists tightly and continued, “To be the best, that is my motto.
So, if I am to join a troop or a mercenary group, it must also be the best!
I was a professional soldier, but I have never engaged in real combat.
I hope to fight, which is why I’m willing to join a mercenary group!”
After a pause, Eileen continued, “Before you, Angel was the best, but now, I want to join you.
Perhaps Satan is not yet recognized as the best, but that’s okay.
I hope to contribute my abilities and make Satan the truly number one mercenary group in the world!”
Gao Yang nodded in satisfaction and said, “Very good, very good.
You have preliminarily joined the Satan Mercenary Corps.
As long as none of our members oppose and your performance satisfies me enough, you will become an official member of Satan.
Oh, sorry, let me help you up.”
Eileen was still lying on the ground.
As an enemy, her condition wouldn’t have mattered much to Gao Yang; he could have left her lying there a bit longer.
But now, as they were about to become teammates, he couldn’t just leave Eileen almost bare-shouldered on the ground.
The ground is very cold.
The reason Eileen had been lying there so long before he offered to help her up was really because Gao Yang got carried away talking and forgot about it.
Gao Yang wanted to help Eileen up, and Eileen extended her hand, but when Gao Yang started to help her up, she moaned softly and said, “Don’t move me, let me lie here a while longer.”
Cui Bo quickly brought over Eileen’s clothes and said, “Put your clothes on.
After that kick, it’s going to take a while before you can move.”
Gao Yang and Cui Bo helped Eileen to sit up, then draped the clothes over her.
Eileen then sat on the ground, clutching her abdomen, her head drooping motionless.
It was going to take her a while to be able to move.
It was then that Gao Yang remembered Hunter and his group were still waiting to the side.
Thus, Gao Yang waved to Hunter and, as they met face to face with Hunter clearly anxious, Gao Yang smilingly said, “Mr.
Hunter, I think our problem can be resolved now.”
Hunter, looking tense, asked, “What do you plan to do about this matter?”
Gao Yang spread his hands with a smile and said, “No need to do anything.
Let’s pretend this never happened.
Eileen has never been a flight instructor here, and our training schedule will proceed as usual.
No one needs to take responsibility for this incident, of course, and no one needs to pay.
Do you think that’s acceptable?”
For Hunter, this was more than acceptable; it was perfect.
As long as Gao Yang didn’t sue him, Hunter was more than satisfied.
Now, not only did he not have to face a lawsuit, but he also saved on compensation and avoided tarnishing the flight school’s reputation by employing someone unqualified to teach flying.
The outcome was beyond his wildest expectations.
Hunter immediately beamed with relief and said, “Fantastic, thank you so much for your generosity, Mr.
Gao.
I personally appreciate your willingness to handle this matter this way.”
Gao Yang pointed at Eileen and said, “Then, she won’t have any problems either, right?”
Hunter glanced at Eileen, smiled, and said, “Of course, of course.
Like you said, none of this ever happened.
She absolutely won’t have any problems.
Forgive my boldness, but it seems like Eileen is going to work for you now?”
Gao Yang smiled and replied, “That’s right.
Well, Mr.
Hunter, since everything has been satisfactorily resolved, our training plan…”
Eileen, sitting on the ground, raised her head and quietly said, “I can continue to teach you.”
“Absolutely not!”
Hunter immediately rejected Eileen’s offer.
He wouldn’t dare let Eileen touch their planes ever again.
Hunter hastily said, “Mr.
Gao, let’s end today’s lesson here.
We will find you a qualified S-70 flight instructor as soon as possible.
If we can’t find one, we will refund the extra money and arrange for you two to use another model.
I think that’s the only way.”
Gao Yang felt somewhat helpless; he wouldn’t have minded letting Eileen teach again, but he guessed Hunter would probably never agree to that.
So, Gao Yang simply didn’t bother arguing, saying directly, “Alright, let it be so.”
With everything clearly explained to Gao Yang, Hunter finally sighed in relief.
Looking at Eileen still sitting on the ground, he couldn’t help feeling pity for the person who had almost cost him a great deal of money.
“It’s too cold here; don’t sit around.
Your body can’t handle it.
There’s a stretcher in the medical office; you should rest in your former office.
You can use it until noon.”
Although his tone was unkind, Hunter’s words were still filled with goodwill.
Eileen raised her head again and said to Hunter, “Thank you, Hunter.
You’re a good person.
I’m sorry; I didn’t realize how much my actions could affect the flight school.
Honestly, I didn’t know my flight credentials had been revoked; I didn’t receive any notification.”
Hunter’s expression softened, and he waved his hand before saying, “If you need to go to the hospital, then go.
Alright, we’ll leave first; someone will bring the stretcher.”
After Hunter and the others had all left, Gao Yang coughed lightly and looked at Eileen, whose complexion was waxen, saying, “Sorry about that, I apologize, we really shouldn’t have, um, said some rather impolite things.
Oh, where did you learn Chinese?”
Eileen shrugged and replied, “At the KSK Training Squadron.
Everyone has to choose at least one foreign language; I chose Chinese.
Besides my native language, I am fluent in English and Chinese.
By the way, I still don’t know your names.”
Gao Yang laughed heartily and said, “You can call me Ram, and call him Rabbit.
Before you officially join the Satan Mercenaries, just call us that.
Also, do you have a nickname?”
Eileen’s expression soured, and after hemming and hawing for a while, she said in a low voice, “Does everyone have to have a nickname?”
Gao Yang shrugged and replied, “Not necessarily, but in our profession, it’s best to have a code name.
So, if you don’t want to be called by a nickname, you can make up a pseudonym.
Still, nicknames are more convenient, of course—you can choose for yourself.”
After hesitating for a while, Eileen murmured softly, “Then, does the nickname have to be given by someone else, or can I choose my own?”
Gao Yang laughed and said, “Of course you can.
You can pick whatever you like, even come up with one right now if you want.”
Eileen quickly said, “You guys can call me Beauty!”
Gao Yang and Cui Bo looked at each other in surprise, and just as Gao Yang was resignedly about to accept Eileen’s chosen nickname, he heard Eileen sigh dejectedly and say, “Never mind, just call me by the nickname everyone agrees on.
Lying to myself doesn’t serve any purpose.
Um, you can call me Tyrannosaurus, yes, that’s right, Tyrannosaurus.
However, I demand that you do not use my nickname when we’re not on a mission, or I’ll be upset.”
Gao Yang and Cui Bo nodded in agreement.
That felt right; the nickname Tyrannosaurus suited Eileen much better.
Calling her Beauty all the time?
That would be torturous.
While they were talking, someone brought over a stretcher.
Gao Yang and Cui Bo personally carried Eileen, not to the infirmary, but directly to what was recently still her office.
The office wasn’t big, but it was neatly arranged.
After settling Eileen into a chair, with only the three of them left in the office, Gao Yang sighed in relief and asked, “Do you have any belongings you need to pack up?
We can help you with that.
Also, where are you staying?
Do you need to take anything from there?”
Eileen opened a drawer and pulled out a handgun still in its holster, waved it in front of them, and said, “This is all I have in terms of personal belongings.”
Gao Yang muttered, “It’s a good thing the flight school has a rule that nobody is allowed to bring a gun before boarding a plane, um, what kind of gun is that?”
Eileen drew the gun and slid it across the table to Gao Yang, then added, “FNX9, 9mm caliber.
I bought it after I moved to Portland.
It’s cheap, but it works well and is very reliable.
I really like it.”
Gao Yang picked up the gun, made a questioning gesture to ask if he could examine it closely, and after Eileen nodded her approval, Gao Yang dismantled the gun and examined it, saying, “We are currently changing guns in this phase.
Do you have any preferred weapon?
Oh, the only requirement is that the calibers be standardized, either 5.56mm NATO or 7.62mm NATO rounds.
You can choose any model you like.
Do you already own a gun or need to buy one?
If you don’t, we could actually get you the best one available right now.”
Eileen immediately said, “I can choose?
That’s great, I want SG551LB in 7.62mm caliber and SG751SPA-R, but there’s a problem, sir.”
“Speak.”
“I don’t have any money to buy guns with.
In fact, I’m almost unable to pay my apartment rent,”
Gao Yang shrugged and replied, “Um, I can buy it for you; that’s not a problem.
Once you’ve joined Satan and made some money, you can pay me back.
Any other issues?”
“No, sir!
Thank you, sir!”
Gao Yang smiled and said, “Actually, you don’t have to keep calling me sir.
You can call me Ram, Boss, whatever you like, just like everyone else.
We’re just mercenaries; constantly calling me sir, um, I’m not really used to it.”
“Yes, sir!”
After finishing, Eileen stuck out her tongue and laughed, “Sorry, sir, I’m just used to it.
It might be hard for me to change that habit quickly when facing a superior in a military-like structure.”
Gao Yang shrugged and replied, “Alright then, have it your way.
It seems like the Angels’ folks also can’t change their ways, always calling me sir.
It seems you are all the same.
Moreover, do you need to change your handgun?
You can pick whatever gun you want; the only thing you don’t have to worry about is the price.” (To be continued.
