Mercenary’s War
Chapter 893 - 893 883 Feelings

893: Chapter 883: Feelings 893: Chapter 883: Feelings They got back into the car, and once it was moving, Gao Yang quietly asked, “Do you think Tomler is reliable?”

After a moment of serious thought, Little Donnie replied softly, “I think he is reliable.

Mr.

Tomler’s reputation has always been good, and besides, his name is a guarantee.

With Mr.

Tomler handling it, we at least don’t have to worry about the commission.”

Gao Yang shook his head, saying, “I’m not worried about the commission; I’m worried about the mission itself.

Frankly, I don’t want to get involved with Arab people, and also, the goods are clearly meant for the Rebel Army.

This gives me some reservations.

We’ve been to Syria once, and in my view, the Syrian Rebel Army is dangerous, not in terms of military capacity but in terms they pose danger beyond military capabilities.”

With a grave expression, Little Donnie responded, “Yes, we definitely need to consider that.”

Gao Yang sighed and added, “A mercenary should have no stance, but I have made some friends among the Syrian officers.

Honestly, delivering money to the Rebels to fight against friends I already know doesn’t sit well with me.”

Little Donnie chuckled and said, “I understand how you feel, but you have to realize, this is war—it’s not something you can interfere with.

If you don’t deliver this batch, someone else will.”

After saying this, Little Donnie continued, “Don’t get me wrong, I’m not trying to convince you to take this mission.

I just want to say whether you earn the commission from this mission or not, many others will want to earn it.

If you take this mission, you needn’t feel guilty, and if you don’t take it, you shouldn’t think you’ve done right by your friends because, after all, this is just business to us.”

Gao Yang smiled and said, “I haven’t become so arrogant as to think I can change the course of a country’s history.

You’re right; this is a deal that anyone could take.

Why should we let other people make the money?

Let’s ask the others, and if they agree, I guess we’re going to Iraq.”

After saying this, Gao Yang took out his phone, but before he could make a call, he suddenly said, “Toad is still at your house, have him go to the hotel.

I need to ask him what happened.”

Little Donnie burst into laughter, saying, “You wouldn’t believe it, but Eliza actually got drunk with Lee.

Oh my God, it’s the first time I’ve seen Eliza drunk, and she could even talk with Lee.

My God, it’s unbelievable.”

Gao Yang, intrigued, asked, “That’s good news.

How far have they gotten?”

Little Donnie spread his hands and answered, “Don’t overthink it, buddy.

They are just able to talk—that’s it.

They can only sit together and chat for a bit, nothing near, well, what you might be imagining.

But I’m happy because Eliza speaking up is a miracle.”

Gao Yang sighed and said, “Is that all?

I was hoping Lee could try embracing a new relationship.”

With a peculiar look, Little Donnie eyed Gao Yang, “Are you crazy?

How could Lee possibly move on from his trauma so quickly?

Look, if Lee were ready to flirt, do you think he’d get drunk from just over two bottles of champagne?”

Gao Yang shook his head and said, “Yeah, with Lee’s capacity for alcohol, two bottles of champagne is nothing.

If he’s in a good mood, he can drink more, but if not, he gets drunk fast.

It seems Lee is still in a very bad state.

Well, I know it’s unlikely he would recover from his current heartache so quickly—I just hope he can step out of the shadows sooner.”

Little Donnie sighed and asked, “How could that be?

Let’s take it slow.

By the way, is Lee’s mental state stable now?

No issues during combat, right?”

Gao Yang frowned and replied, “So far, it’s stable.

He has regained the qualities of an assaulter.

Ever since he was hit hard that one time, he hasn’t made any mistakes in battle.

Lee is a born fighter; he doesn’t make the same mistake twice.

I think he has no problem in battle now, actually, fighting is his way of escaping reality and forgetting some things, but I’m not sure if that’s good or bad for him.”

Little Donnie sighed out, “Good or bad, that’s a problem for later.

Having a way to escape reality is already not bad.

He can’t afford to overthink now.

Overthinking is what might kill him, not the fighting.”

Gao Yang couldn’t agree more with Little Donnie; in Lee’s current state, battling through gunfire was far safer than having the time to dwell on sadness.

After giving Little Donnie a thumbs-up, Gao Yang said in a stern voice, “All right, let’s not talk about Lee anymore.

You head to the hotel with him later, and besides, it’s unlikely anyone will object to taking on this mission, so you’d better start planning our itinerary soon.”

After discussing matters and dropping Gao Yang off at the hotel, Little Donnie drove off to pick up Lee Jinfang, while Gao Yang returned alone to his apartment.

The hotel conditions were decent but not large; Little Donnie had booked the entire second floor.

As Gao Yang climbed the stairs, he saw Jansen running quickly through the hallway with a tablet in hand.

Upon seeing Gao Yang, Jansen, while banging loudly on Bruce’s door, said, “Boss, do you want to come and see this?”

Gao Yang, curious, asked, “What’s going on?”

Jansen excitedly explained, “It’s nothing much; I just snagged a treasure for Bruce.”

Gao Yang, still curious, walked over, just in time to hear Bruce shouting irritably, “Go away!

I’m busy!”

Jansen shouted, “Dude, this can’t wait!

I found your dream girl!”

“Wait up!”

After the rustling sounds, Bruce opened the door, wearing only a pair of pants, looking displeased as he spoke to Jansen, “What do you mean?”

Jansen raised the tablet in his hands, unable to conceal his excitement, “A ’69 Mustang!

Someone listed it for sale online!”

Bruce’s eyes widened instantly as he snatched the tablet from Jansen, exclaiming urgently, “Let me see!”

At this moment, Lucica spoke with irritation, “Hey, what are you talking about, can’t it wait?”

Bruce responded hastily, “Can’t wait, can’t wait, if we wait it’ll be gone, my treasure, I finally found it.”

Gao Yang leaned forward, curiously asking, “What thing?”

Jansen, thrilled, exclaimed, “A ’69 Mustang BOSS 429!”

Bruce immediately chimed in, still excited, “The treasure of my dreams!”

At this point, Lucica, donning just a shirt, stormed to the doorway and demanded, “Let me see what this dream lover of yours looks like!”

Bruce urgently said, “Don’t be jealous, it’s my dream car, the Mustang 429, damn it, why won’t this crappy computer load the page!”

Jansen insisted anxiously, “Hurry inside, the signal in the corridor is bad.

You must make a deposit quickly!

Damn it, I don’t have enough money.

I need to buy it quickly before someone else does.”

Bruce hurriedly said, “Darling, go put on clothes, Big Bird—let’s go to your room, quick, faster!”

Bruce and Jansen rushed toward Jansen’s room while Gao Yang followed.

Their noise drew the attention of many others, drawing several people out of their rooms.

Back in the room, Jansen retrieved the tablet, tapped it a few times, and then handed it back to Bruce, saying urgently, “Take a look, a ’69 Mustang BOSS 429, black, original paint, has driven twenty-eight thousand miles, in very good condition, all original, no auction.

The owner needs cash urgently, asking for ninety-nine thousand US dollars, you can view and test drive offline, but a deposit must be made first.”

Bruce, after glancing over the tablet a few times, said anxiously, “The price isn’t really high, but could it be a scam?”

Jansen shrugged and replied, “I don’t know, but they say the deposit is just because many who can’t afford it want to try driving it around.

The owner is annoyed, hence he decided you must pay a ninety-nine thousand US dollar deposit to see and test the car, at least that way those who can’t afford it won’t bother him, and of course, he will refund if you don’t buy.”

Bruce said impatiently, “I rarely buy things online, I’m not sure, but this is an opportunity, I don’t want to miss out, damn it, my credit card limit is too low, F**k!

I should have applied for a higher limit, guys, who has a credit card I can use for a bit!

At least one hundred thousand US dollars!”

At that moment, Glolov came over, heard their discussion, and exclaimed, “What?

One hundred thousand US dollars for a ’69 junk car?

Are you kidding me!

A high-end sedan doesn’t even cost one hundred thousand!”

Bruce dismissed him with a wave of his hand, “Don’t talk nonsense, you don’t understand, this is passion, this is a Mustang BOSS 429!”

Glolov shrugged and stated, “If I were to buy a car, I’d definitely choose a brand-new one, not a decades-old clunker, especially one that costs freaking one hundred thousand US dollars!”

Gao Yang laughed, “It’s an old car, not a junker, but you’re right, I like old guns, but I don’t like decades-old cars.”

Gao Yang and the others all had credit cards, but none had high limits since they didn’t keep much in their American bank accounts, their highest limits being just a few tens of thousands.

As Bruce paced anxiously without a credit card, Glolov left but soon returned, handing over a credit card bewilderingly, “Here’s a credit card, it’s my wife’s.

Guy, are you sure you want to buy this?”

Bruce snatched the credit card quickly, handing it to Jansen, “Quick, buy it for me, what’s the payment password?”

“Four ones.”

Everyone shot Glolov a look.

Glolov shrugged, “They say you can just sign, no password needed, but Natalia and I thought it’s safer with one, and apparently, you need a password for online purchases, so we set it.”

Gao Yang couldn’t help blurting out, “You think a password of four ones is secure?”

Suddenly, Jansen exclaimed, “Done!

Now we can call the owner to see the car.

We’re lucky, three more queued behind us waiting to deposit to view the car!

If you don’t buy, they’ll have the chance to deposit and go for a test drive.”

Bruce took a long sigh of relief, then said with relief on his face, “Lucky we acted fast!

Buddy, I can’t thank you enough, but where do we go to see the car?” (To be continued.
