Chapter 947 - 947 937 Nobody Will Die
947: Chapter 937 Nobody Will Die 947: Chapter 937 Nobody Will Die No matter how grand the funeral was, it was still a funeral, meant for the living to see, the dead could not enjoy anything from it.
Gao Yang was well aware of this, but he still could not bear to see Bruce buried so plainly.
The funeral ended, and everyone returned to where they came from.
The crowd at the cemetery dispersed, leaving only Gao Yang and a few others with Bruce’s family.
Gao Yang had Little Donnie take Mrs.
William and Lucica home, while he and Jansen needed to see the band off.
He didn’t know everyone in the band; they were many, and except for two who lived in America, almost all were from Europe.
The band played for free, Jansen didn’t have to pay a dime to bring them, but whether they came from the United Kingdom, the European Continent, or even other parts of America, they had to pay for their flight tickets.
Gao Yang was already very grateful that these band members could come, but letting them pay out of pocket was not his style.
The band members had arrived at different times, and Jansen had arranged for them to stay at the same large hotel.
It was not only convenient to stay together, but it also made it easier for the temporary assembled band to practice.
And of course, Jansen paid for the accommodations.
After the funeral, they had to feed the band members.
They couldn’t let them go hungry.
Aside from Lucica, the other members of the Satan Mercenary Corps drove the band members back to the hotel themselves, and then had lunch together in the hotel lobby provided for them.
Honestly, they could have hired someone else to do this, but Bruce no longer had relatives to hold up appearances, so Gao Yang and the others definitely had to show up as friends and family to appreciate these people who had helped tremendously.
Gao Yang had prepared cash in advance to give to the band members after the funeral.
He had to express his gratitude and appreciation.
However, Jansen’s former comrade, one of his superiors, displayed his style by steadfastly refusing Gao Yang’s offer of Ten thousand US dollars for travel expenses and gratitude money.
Hence, the money Gao Yang prepared was not used.
In the end, it was Jansen who insisted that they must give three thousand dollars to each person who attended the funeral, regardless of the distance, to cover their travel expenses to America, before the band members accepted the money.
Three thousand dollars was really not much; just barely enough to cover travel expenses.
Those who came from far away to play at a stranger’s funeral indeed had style.
Every member of Gao Yang’s group personally handed the money to the band members, then expressed their gratitude to each one.
They gave money, treated the band to a big meal, and also prepaid a sum at the hotel as lodging costs, in case some band members wanted to stay and travel before leaving.
After all, coming from so far away, it was nice to let them have a couple of days of fun.
After handling the band’s affairs, Gao Yang and his group returned to Bruce’s house.
Bruce’s neighbors and relatives had already said their goodbyes, leaving only a few people in the house.
Everyone gathered in the living room; Mrs.
William was in bad shape, Kevin had fallen asleep from crying too much, and Lucica was comforting Mrs.
William.
Gao Yang felt it should be discussed later, but he was anxious to head to New York, so he had to speed up the conversation.
Once Lucica and Mrs.
William were in front of him, with others standing behind him, Jack and Bob, seeing this setting, knew the Satan Mercenaries had something to say and quickly left the room.
With no one else around, Gao Yang said gravely, “Mrs.
William, Lucica, we are leaving today.
Before we go, there are some things I need to say.”
After a pause, Gao Yang continued gravely, “The eleven surviving members of the Satan Mercenary Corps owe their lives to Bruce.
We’ve discussed this already; Bruce will always be a member of Satan, alive or not, and from now on, forever have his share.
Lucica, you too, our earnings, our newly established company, you and Bruce will always have a share!
Mrs.
William, Lucica, your unborn child and Kevin, we swear to provide you with the best life possible.”
Lucica looked at Mrs.
William then turned to Gao Yang and asked in a low voice, “Boss, are you kicking me out of Satan?”
Gao Yang sighed and said, “Lucica, don’t say such things.
You know what I mean.
You’re pregnant, do you think you can still operate with us?”
Lucica raised her head, determination in her face, and said, “Just say it.
Am I still a part of Satan or not?”
“Yes, always!”
Lucica nodded, “Good, then you don’t need to pity me.
I can take care of myself, my mother, and Kevin.
I can take good care of them.
When I give birth, I will return to Satan.
You won’t withhold my earnings, and the shares of the company meant for me will also be there.
But for now, Boss, there’s no need to specifically leave a share for Bruce, nor consider giving me one while I’m unavailable.”
Gao Yang shook his head, “There’s no room for negotiation, you must accept.”
Lucica stood up, very determined, and said, “Boss, are you pitying us?
Do you think I need pity?”
Gao Yang was a bit annoyed, but he restrained himself and said in a low voice, “Bruce’s biggest wish was for our company to get off the ground.
I don’t want to wait until the company is up and running, only to find that Bruce’s share is missing!”
Lucica exhaled and said, “Boss, Bruce and I have ten million dollars together, enough to comfortably live out the rest of our lives.
I really don’t think you need to set aside a commission for us.
Can we stop talking about this?
Boss, it makes me very uncomfortable and anxious.”
Mrs.
William suddenly sighed, nodded slightly to Gao Yang and the people behind him as a greeting, and said softly, “Gentlemen, and this beautiful lady, I know your intentions, but Lucica is right.
Bruce left us a substantial inheritance, so please don’t worry about our livelihood.
It’s really not necessary.”
Eileen said anxiously, “But we can’t just ignore Bruce’s family!
We have to do something!”
Lucica glanced at Eileen and said, “Eileen, you know me, we are together, we are comrades, but please don’t try to pity me, okay?
I’ve said it before, I will take good care of Mom and Kevin, as well as the child Bruce and I will have.
We will be fine!”
Like Bruce, Lucica usually didn’t talk much, but once she made up her mind, it was very hard to change it.
Gao Yang sighed, turned to look at the others, and saw that they all looked helpless.
After spreading his hands, Gao Yang sighed and said, “Alright, since you insist, we’ll change the plan.
Lucica, Bruce will always be one of us.
Don’t refuse this—denying won’t help.
So, as long as our company starts, he will definitely have his share.”
Lucica nodded and said, “I understand, that’s fine.
Boss, consider Bruce and me as one share.
Once I give birth, I’ll come back to the team and take over Bruce’s share, okay?”
Gao Yang helplessly said, “Why are you so stubborn?”
Lucica didn’t respond, but Mrs.
William quietly asked, “Gao, what did Bruce do when he was here?”
Gao Yang paused and said, “He was a medic.”
Mrs.
William nodded and said, “Yes, he was a medic.
His duty was to ensure your lives.
Bruce did it; he saved you and fulfilled the duty of a medic.
I’m proud of him, Gao.
That’s enough.
We have a lot of money.
You don’t have to worry about anything.
If you have time, you can come and visit us.
That’s enough.
Let’s not talk too much about other issues, okay?”
Gao Yang stood up and said softly, “Ma’am, we will come to see you often.”
Mrs.
William sighed sadly and said, “Gao, don’t you understand?
Sometimes, having too much money isn’t necessarily a good thing, and we are already wealthy enough, right?”
Regardless, Bruce’s share must be given to him.
This was Gao Yang’s principle and the unanimous decision of all members of the Satan Mercenary Corps, except Lucica.
However, the company had not yet started, and with Bruce’s death, they were about to enter a difficult and perilous phase of revenge.
Dwelling on shares seemed not so necessary.
Gao Yang nodded and said softly, “I understand, ma’am.
We’ll come to see you and little Kevin whenever we have time.”
If the company didn’t take off, the inheritance Bruce left, along with the money Lucica received, would indeed be enough for them to live comfortably for the rest of their lives.
But if the company was to start up, then Bruce’s share would be there for sure.
Bruce was gone, but his children were still here, and Gao Yang did not intend to let them engage in the dangerous professions of mercenaries or security.
However, Bruce’s share of dividends would definitely reach them.
If Lucica continued to care for Mrs.
William and Kevin as Bruce’s widow, the money would go to Lucica.
If Lucica left and formed a new family, the money would have to be evenly split between Bruce’s children.
Such an event was unlikely, but it had to be considered.
The plan had already been discussed, and it just needed to be followed when the time came.
There was no need to dwell on it now, but as Gao Yang tried to downplay it temporarily, Lucica quietly said, “Boss, Bruce and I didn’t have a wedding, but I am already his wife.
From now on, my name will be Lucica William.
You can call me Mrs.
William or Lucica, or you can continue to call me Bat.
I will raise Kevin and the child Bruce and I will have.
You don’t have to worry about me at all.
Also, as I said before, when I return to Satan, I will take the share that belongs to Bruce and me.”
After finishing, Lucica sighed softly and said, “I know what you will do next.
I’m sorry I can’t go.
I won’t talk about giving you money—you wouldn’t accept it, and I really need it—but Boss, please don’t act on your own, okay?
Wait for me to come back.”
Gao Yang sighed lightly and gently hugged Lucica.
Then Lucica whispered, “Boss, be careful, and if it’s not possible, just give up the revenge.
Bruce wouldn’t want to see everyone risking their lives because of his death.
I don’t want that either.
I’ve lost Bruce, and I really can’t bear to lose any of you.”
Gao Yang whispered, “Don’t worry, Lucica, don’t worry.
No one will die; none of us will die.
Definitely not!”
