Number Thirteen’s face showed no particular expression again; he appeared completely unexcited, as if what he heard had nothing to do with him.

As a killer, no matter the situation, it’s important to conceal one’s emotions, yet Number Thirteen could hide his emotions to an extent that Gao Yang felt inferior.

After pondering seriously for a moment, Number Thirteen spoke softly, “Should I take this as a promise, or should I consider your words as merely a consolation to me?”

Gao Yang scratched his head, “You can take it as a promise given as a consolation, because I really don’t know if I can reveal those secrets to you.

I want to help you, but I’m not sure I can.”

Number Thirteen sighed, “I understand.

From my past experiences, I’ve realized that secrets are just secrets, but when you can speak about them, they are no longer secrets.

That requires time.

I don’t know how long I’ll need to wait, but I hope you can give me an answer soon, whether good or bad.

I’ll be waiting.”

Gao Yang nodded, “Alright, I’ll ask as soon as I get a chance, and then I’ll let you know.

Anyway, I need to leave now.”

Number Thirteen tried to detain Gao Yang again, his voice grave, “No, don’t rush off, I want to ask you something.

What does your mercenary group mainly do?”

Gao Yang smirked, “Fighting, what else?

But for quite a long period coming up, I guess we won’t be doing much else.

We are seeking revenge.

Yep, killing Tomler is just the start of our revenge.

We have many formidable enemies to deal with.”

After finishing, Gao Yang, with a troubled expression, scratched his hair, “Speaking of which, I just remembered something about your sister.

It seems that I’m the only one who can give you information about her.

The others in Satan Mercenary Corps can’t tell you anything because they don’t know.

But as you know, in war, casualties are inevitable.”

After he said that, Gao Yang waved his hand, “Here’s what we’ll do, after I kill Tomler, I’ll try to find an opportunity to ask around for you, but if I don’t get the chance, then I won’t be able to tell you.

In such a case, if I die, well, please don’t blame me.”

Number Thirteen chuckled, “So, it means your main job is killing.”

Gao Yang thought for a moment, “Not necessarily, our tasks are quite varied.

However, it does seem like our tasks involve killing so far.

What’s up, any problem?”

Number Thirteen’s voice deepened, “No problem.

Since your job is killing, and my specialty is also killing, I guess I’ll stick with you.”

Gao Yang frowned and looked at Number Thirteen, “What do you mean?”

Number Thirteen, expression calm, said, “I mean, I’m going to follow you.

Wherever you go, I go.”

Gao Yang rubbed his chin, perplexed, “But we don’t need any newcomers.

I’m not planning on accepting anyone new for the time being.

Plus, we’re out for revenge, not taking on paid jobs, so you won’t make any money hanging with me right now.

Also, you’re not a combatant.

You might be skilled at killing, but can you fight in a war?”

Number Thirteen shook his hand, “Don’t misunderstand, I just want to follow you.

You might die in battle, and my purpose is to make sure you don’t.”

Gao Yang chuckled, “What can you do?

Take a bullet for me?

Buddy, on the battlefield, who can say for sure they won’t die?

Who can guarantee they can keep someone else alive?”

Number Thirteen calmly stated, “You’re very critical, very important, I can’t allow you to die.

You’re right, I’m not God, but I will do everything possible to prevent you from dying prematurely.”

Gao Yang sighed, “It’s a real pity.

If it were earlier, I would have gladly welcomed you, whether joining Satan, being a collaborator with Satan, or as an extra member of Satan.

I welcome that because you can provide something we lack.

You might not be good at fighting, but I know you can help me in many ways.

I’ve been wanting to find an intelligence officer.”

After he finished, Gao Yang shrugged, “Unfortunately, I don’t have money to hire you right now, and we also don’t have time to take on business to make you money, and I know your worth is not low.”

Number Thirteen smiled, “Who told you I want money?

I come free of charge.

You earn your money, seek your revenge, it doesn’t matter to me.

I just want to know the secrets you are keeping before you die.

So you don’t need to worry about money.

I don’t want your money.”

The offer came so suddenly that Gao Yang barely believed his ears.

“You mean, you’re paying your own expenses to follow us around the world?

Buddy, you need to understand, we won’t always stay in America.

We’re heading to the most dangerous places, wherever there’s a battle, we go.

Do you get it?”

Number Thirteen smiled confidently, “Ram, I’m telling you seriously, places you consider dangerous, I do not find dangerous.”

Gao Yang spread his hands, “Well, who doesn’t like free labor?

I certainly do.

Alright then, welcome to the team.

There’s just one condition, you can follow, but as long as you’re in my sight, oh no, as long as you can contact me, whether we meet or not, you must obey my orders.”

Number Thirteen remained silent, and Gao Yang spread his hands, “Maybe this makes you uncomfortable, but I still need to make it clear, nobody likes someone who is out of the system, acting on their own.

You’re voluntarily joining me for free, but that doesn’t mean you can do whatever you want.

So, either stay far from us or follow my orders, that’s how it is.”

Number Thirteen hesitated for a long time before finally nodding, “I accept, I will act according to your orders, and if I decide to leave, I will tell you.

Also, you don’t have to worry about my cooperation, as an assassin, I often act alone, but most of the time teamwork is necessary.”

Gao Yang smiled, reached out his hand to Number Thirteen, and while shaking hands, smiled and said, “I hope we can work well together.”

Number Thirteen coolly replied, “Not just work well, you will witness my capabilities.”

Gao Yang sighed, “Do you need a night to calm down?”

“Yes, I’m not as calm as you might think, I’m actually so excited I could burst, along with being confused and impatient.

I definitely need to cool down.

Thanks to you, I’m no longer completely in the dark.

This is a significant progress, and now I have hope, so I’m actually feeling quite happy.

I need to vent tonight, but that will have to wait until I’m alone.”

Gao Yang chuckled, “Alright, enjoy your evening.

Before I say goodbye again, is there anything else you want to mention?”

After a moment of thought, Number Thirteen nodded and said, “My mind is a bit chaotic, so I forgot to mention something important.

Here’s the thing, I don’t want a commission, no salary, I don’t ask for anything, but you have to take care of my clothing and food.

If there’s equipment I need to help you guys, you have to buy it for me, because I’m very poor right now.

I have no money.”

Gao Yang laughed, “No problem, of course.”

Number Thirteen nodded, “Then that’s settled, you can leave now.”

Saving over ten million and getting free labor from a uniquely talented, once-in-a-lifetime type of talent, Gao Yang felt he’d hit the jackpot, so he was in a very good mood.

Number Thirteen continued to look at his sister’s photos and information at the dining table while Gao Yang stood up and left without a word.

Gao Yang got up, walked to a nearby waitress smiling at the backdoor and whispered, “Miss, excuse me, I want to ask where the waitress who served me earlier has gone.”

The waitress addressed by Gao Yang smiled, but her tone was not very friendly, “Sir, did you enjoy your meal?

Your bill is one hundred twenty dollars, thank you.”

Gao Yang smiled, shook his head, and pulled out two hundred-dollar bills, “Keep the change, miss.

I think you didn’t understand me, what I have to say is very important to the lady who left in tears.

It’s extremely important, trust me, she would definitely want to hear it.

If you have a good relationship with her, please call her out.

I’ll wait outside for five minutes; if she doesn’t show up, I’ll leave, thank you.”

After handing over the money to the waitress, Gao Yang pushed open the door of the cafe and stepped out into the darkness.

He checked his watch, then stood by the cafe’s main door.

As the five minutes passed, Gao Yang sighed helplessly and began to walk away, but after fifteen or so steps, he heard someone shout behind him, “What do you want!”

Gao Yang looked back, saw the waitress who had served him, turned around, walked back to her and smiled, “What’s your name?”

“Penny.”

Penny, her eyes red, looked at Gao Yang as if he were a romantic rival, even with a touch of disgust.

Gao Yang laughed softly, “Penny, that’s a nice name.

I want to tell you that what you’ve seen doesn’t represent the whole truth.

Just like you might grab a girl’s hand when you’re agitated, do you understand what I mean?”

Penny blinked, then said, “You mean you guys aren’t gay?

Or did that nameless man refuse you?”

Gao Yang grinned, “I don’t know if that nameless man is gay or not, but I’m not.

I have to tell you this.

Also, I can assure you, the guy you like isn’t gay either, I’m quite certain.

And if you do like him, you should tell him instead of standing around and sneak-watching him or something.

Men are easy to deal with.”

Penny blushed, “Who said I liked him?”

Gao Yang sighed helplessly, “I’m not blind.

Okay, I have no intention of playing matchmaker, nor to be your love coach.

I just had to tell you I’m not gay, that’s the main point.

So don’t look at me like I’m a romantic rival, I can’t stand it.

Alright, I’ve said my piece, goodbye.”

Gao Yang felt relieved like he had finally spat out a bone stuck in his throat.

Just as he was about to turn around and leave, Penny’s face beamed with joy, then suddenly fell into sadness as she lamented, “But he wouldn’t tell me his name, I asked him twice, and he wouldn’t say.”

Gao Yang thought for a moment, then said, “Do you want to know his name?”

After thinking a bit, Penny nodded, “Yes, I do.

I at least want to know his name.”

Gao Yang grinned mischievously, and said solemnly, “His name is Leonard.

I hope what I’ve told you brightens your evening, goodbye.”
