Chapter 1077: Chapter 1082: A Woman’s Intuition

Now, even the most isolated of people knew that the Cicero Family and Big Ivan were engaged in a fierce battle, for Big Ivan had made no secret of it and declared unequivocally that only one of them shall survive.

Which is to say, only one could live under the heavens.

What Yang Yi admired was how Satan remained hidden; this was clearly an affair between Satan and the Cicero Family, but it turned into a decisive battle between Big Ivan and the Cicero Family. As for Satan and Gong Yang, nobody knew about them, no one mentioned them.

The fact that news could be sealed to this extent was actually due to multiple reasons. Firstly, Satan was still relatively small-scale, fierce as they may be, they were known only within a small high-end clientele circle as the premier Mercenary Group, but to the entire underground world, the reputation of the Satan Mercenary Group was not yet influential, and the upper echelons of the Cicero Family were too embarrassed to announce to the world that a mere mercenary group was their biggest enemy.

Besides, the Cicero Family didn’t have the face to spill the truth.

Yang Yi now knew that Mario, under the pretext of discussing business with Gong Yang, lured Gong Yang to his villa for a meeting, where the key role was played by Big Ivan, who acted as a middleman. Well now, Mario went ahead and captured the guest he had invited over.

It’s not even time for Mario to start containing the spread of the news; if he dared to let others know why Big Ivan started fighting with him, he would no longer be able to hold his head up afterwards.

Credibility, credibility, credibility, it’s so important it’s worth saying three times.

In a lawless yet orderly underground world, what’s most important is credibility. As the head of the Cicero Family, anything can be done as long as others are unaware of it, but to kill an invited guest in one’s own house, Mario would be finished if word got out.

Backing up Justin was an easy task for Yang Yi, who didn’t need to get involved during these four days, almost paying no attention to it and only knew that Gong Yang was rescued and is now seeking revenge on the Cicero Family all over the world.

As for Justin, his situation was exactly as Yang Yi had anticipated before, both Big Ivan and Gong Yang had decided to push him for the role of the Cicero Family head, and according to what Annastasia indicated, it seemed that Justin also had internal support within the Cicero Family.

Justin’s situation was good, and his chances of becoming the family head were very high.

Everything was going smoothly, but Yang Yi felt somewhat gloomy.

The now enlightened Yang Yi developed a taste for it, but despite doing almost everything with Kate for three days, they just couldn’t break through the last step.

Because Kate’s relative came to visit.

Then, Bonnie, who once had the most intimate relationship with Yang Yi, kept hovering in front of him.

So, not only did Yang Yi have nowhere to vent his frustrations these two days, but he kept being prodded and given the boredom, it’s no wonder he didn’t feel great.

Out of boredom, of course he had to find something to do.

"Sweetheart, Bonnie and I are going out to buy some stuff, are you okay here by yourself?"

Kate was going out with Bonnie and asked Yang Yi out of habit, but this time, Yang Yi had no intention of staying at home like he did the previous days.

"I’ll go with you. I just need a lightweight wheelchair, and you’ll have to push me."

It wasn’t about showing off their love; Yang Yi always restrained himself in front of Bonnie.

You can be unloving but don’t hurt others; one should be decent in conduct.

Kate got Yang Yi out a foldable and lightweight wheelchair. Actually, Yang Yi was not completely immobile, but to recover sooner, it was clearly better to move less. Since they had the facilities, he might as well use a wheelchair.

Kate pushed Yang Yi out the door and as she was helping Yang Yi get into the car, Bonnie actively folded the wheelchair and put it in the trunk.

Kate was driving, Bonnie sat in the passenger seat, and after she got in and closed the door, she bent down to fasten her seat belt and whispered, "It feels like someone is watching us."

Kate did not speak; she started the car, and only after driving off did she ask in a low voice, "Did you find anything?"

This was the first time Bonnie exhibited the strength she had cultivated as a cleaner for over a decade.

Yang Yi took it seriously, and of course, so would Kate take seriously even the slightest feeling Bonnie had.

Xiao Ran was trained by a cleaner’s collaborator, still a work-in-progress, but Bonnie was personally groomed by a cleaner, starting her training from a young age. No matter what she had been conditioned into, one thing was certain — she was definitely not as fragile and harmless as she appeared on the surface.

"I didn’t see anyone suspicious, but that feeling of being watched..."

Bonnie furrowed her brows, reflecting for a moment before she said softly, "Could it have been an illusion?"

The first person Yang Yi thought of was Cupid, the assassin who wanted to kill him.

But Yang Yi thought it was unlikely to be Cupid, because Cupid’s injury would only be more severe than his, not lighter; currently, he himself needed a wheelchair to move, so there’s no way Cupid would be able to find him in Paris, let alone get close enough to make another move.

Impossible.

Yang Yi occasionally looked from side to side, but he never turned his head to check the cars behind him.

If an assassin were tracking him, it wouldn’t be in a simple and crude manner; they might not even track at all, because a lone assassin could not follow someone without being exposed.

Looking back was essentially pointless.

Could it really be Cupid? Yang Yi felt this possibility was really quite slim, so whether someone was following them from behind was hard to say.

Yang Yi did not consider himself to have particularly sharp sixth sense, but he did not doubt its existence or even its accuracy, hence when Bonnie inexplicably mentioned the sensation of being watched, Yang Yi had no reason not to believe her.

Besides, women’s intuition tends to be incredibly accurate.

If they really were being watched, then that was indeed interesting.

Who could it be?

The likelihood of it being Cupid was small; if the cleaners arranged for someone to surveil, setting aside how probable that might be, the key is that Bonnie would definitely know, and thus she surely wouldn’t have mentioned it.

The Grey-cloaked People?

The CIA?

Nicholas?

There are many enemies, and even more who are neither friends nor foes; Yang Yi cannot immediately pinpoint who might have found this place. In theory, if the CIA wanted to, they could locate him, and the CIA wouldn’t have issues doing so, thus after a brief contemplation, Yang Yi considered it possible that it’s someone from the CIA tracking him down.

If it were someone from the CIA trying to probe his secrets, Yang Yi thought it wouldn’t be a big deal.

Whether they were people sent by Aaron or by Porter MacLaurin, Yang Yi was not afraid, because sooner or later, he would have to reveal some truths to these two, and the general framework of the Organization of Water’s strength would inevitably need to be known to them.

But if someone was secretly watching, this action couldn’t be described as friendly, and neither Aaron nor Porter MacLaurin had reason to take such unfriendly actions.

Who exactly could it be? Yang Yi was deeply mired in confusion.
