Chapter 1094: Chapter 1099: Mind Your Own Business

Yang Yi, Kate, and Bonnie left the estate silently, and met with Anastasia who had arrived at a safe house operated by the Organization of Water.

Having Bonnie around was actually troublesome because it was not appropriate to leave her behind, but letting her know all the secrets of the Organization of Water was even more problematic.

If Bonnie had not been very observant, keeping her distance at times she shouldn’t appear, Yang Yi would prefer to do without the janitor’s help and shake her off instead.

Revenge is important, of course, but it’s unacceptable to joke about the brothers’ lives, isn’t it? One always has to be cautious with outsiders.

When Yang Yi and Anastasia were alone, after explaining in detail all the events that had occurred lately, Yang Yi was disappointed to find that Anastasia had arrived at almost the exact same conclusions.

Unless they obtained more intelligence, this was as far as reasonable speculation could go; wild guesses were possible, but logically sound speculation was not.

However, Anastasia and Yang Yi had slightly different thoughts.

"Think about it, what does Big Ivan do? He deals in arms, so what could the janitor and Big Ivan be cooperating on? There’s no possibility other than arms."

Yang Yi nodded and said, "That’s right, it could only be arms."

"As long as there is money, what weapons can’t be bought? Even if Big Ivan died, the janitor will just switch suppliers; it only has to be arms, regardless of whether it’s Deyo or Big Ivan providing them. Even if both are dead, someone else would supply them. So what is irreplaceable about Big Ivan?"

Yang Yi had never really thought about this aspect. After hearing Anastasia’s murmur, he was stunned for a moment, then said, "There are rumors... that Big Ivan got nuclear warheads from Ukraine!"

"Are they really just rumors, isn’t this an open secret by now? When Ukraine gave up its nuclear arsenal, at least two hundred warheads went missing, and not just in Ukraine. Since the Soviet Union disintegrated, no one can say for sure how many warheads have been lost."

"Would Big Ivan dare to sell nuclear warheads?"

"Big Ivan is a smart man, he knows nuclear weapons cannot be sold recklessly, and he’s not short of money. But what if he had no choice but to sell?"

Yang Yi rubbed his chin forcefully, speaking softly, "The Grey-cloaked People are lions, the janitor is a tiger. Honestly, both sides are not to be messed with, I’ve always found the janitor very dangerous..."

Anastasia gave Yang Yi a stern look, which made him immediately stop talking.

Anastasia whispered, "Big Ivan’s affairs don’t concern us, figure out what you want to do. Anything else is none of our business, and you’d best remember this principle at all times."

Yang Yi nodded, then Anastasia, with a calm expression, said, "Go to South America, get in touch with our undercover contacts, find Nicholas, eliminate him, and then you can slowly clean up the mess left by Nicholas."

Yang Yi sighed and asked, "Should we bring Jethro along?"

Anastasia shook her head and said, "You are now going to kill Nicholas because the assassins he brought pose too much of a threat, that’s the main thing. Grabbing territories, recruiting people, those are issues that can be slowly resolved. Once you have dealt with Nicholas, Jethro can naturally handle these matters. Otherwise, what do you need him for? Just to act as a salesman? If you just needed a salesman, why bother giving Jethro so many benefits?"

Yang Yi laughed and said, "It’s always clearer when I talk to you. Alright, I’ll head to South America today. Do you know the probable location of Nicholas now?"

"I don’t know. Nicholas often moves between Brazil, Argentina, Colombia, and Bolivia, but he most frequently stays in Brazil, followed by Colombia. If I contact our insider now to reveal Nicholas’s location, it’s better for you to personally reach out to the insider once you arrive. Without the guarantee of reaching Nicholas within six hours, knowing his location is meaningless."

"That makes sense. Then the first stop will be Brazil, um, which city?"

After pondering for a long time, Annastasia smiled and said, "Sao Paulo. Rio de Janeiro was where Nicholas used to live the longest. I think it’s more appropriate for you to land directly in Sao Paulo."

"Alright, Sao Paulo it is."

Having decided on Sao Paulo as his first destination, Yang Yi pondered for a moment, and said, "I have a question, something I can’t quite understand."

"Let’s hear it."

Yang Yi said with a puzzled expression, "South America could be considered the most remote continent, far from the center of world civilization. There are hardly any wars there, and in terms of importance in the arms market, it may even be less significant than Africa. But I don’t understand why Big Ivan sent his only nephew to South America, and why Deyo’s subordinate, Nicholas, also became uncontrollable while in South America."

Annastasia smiled and said, "South America is the backyard of the United States. Indeed, there are hardly any wars there. For arms dealers, it’s definitely less important than the Middle East and Africa. However, the gangs in South America are extremely rampant, and drug lords are abundant. They have money and need arms, so it’s easy to understand why Big Ivan sent his only nephew there for safety and a stable, large arms market. Remember, before 2011, the situation for arms dealers globally was very tough. As for Nicholas, it’s because he got support from the CIA, which is independent of his location."

Yang Yi thought for a moment and said, "I’ve thought about these reasons, but it feels like it’s not that simple, because placing the only successor, Ivan, in South America doesn’t seem very advantageous for his future succession."

Annastasia said with interest, "Oh, what do you think could be the reason?"

Yang Yi took a breath and said, "It feels like Big Ivan has arranged his fallback in South America, or there, one of his most important... bases?"

Annastasia pondered for a moment, then she said softly, "Rather say, a warehouse."

Yang Yi nodded and said, "Yes, a warehouse. Sending the closest and most important person to guard the most important warehouse."

Annastasia spoke softly, "Big Ivan has nuclear weapons, Big Ivan has deep ties with the cleaners, Big Ivan placed Ivan in South America, Big Ivan..."

Annastasia suddenly stopped speaking, it was no longer appropriate to continue.

Big Ivan’s collaboration with the cleaners likely involved nuclear weapons, and these nuclear weapons are in South America. Transporting nuclear weapons directly from Europe or Africa to the United States is difficult, but from South America to the United States, it’s a lot easier.

Realizing this possibility, it was better not to discuss further, although the likelihood was minimal, but what if their conversation was really intercepted.

Annastasia smiled at Yang Yi again and said, "It’s none of our business."

Yang Yi said solemnly, "Yes, let’s not interfere!"
