Chapter 1097: Chapter 1102: Surround Them

An utterly unexpected answer left Yang Yi completely dumbfounded.

Aaron isn’t even bothering to hide it anymore, but why would he answer the call? If he truly wanted to kill Yang Yi, why go through the trouble when putting a bomb in his car would have been more straightforward?

"It seems the news of your arrival in Brazil has been leaked, I’m sorry."

Finally, Aaron spoke again, plunging Yang Yi into deeper confusion.

"This was a test, a test to see whether someone would choose loyalty to duty or money. It appears they chose the former. I’m sorry things were urgent, and I didn’t send the right people, but now that someone has made their choice, you might as well go for it."

Yang Yi said nothing, while Aaron continued indifferently: "Let’s see what you’re capable of."

The call ended.

Now it’s clear, Aaron did this on purpose. But he isn’t trying to kill Yang Yi—he’s using Yang Yi as bait, as a guinea pig to test the loyalty of someone under his command. As for Yang Yi’s life or death, it doesn’t seem to be of much concern to him.

Of course, Aaron could also take this opportunity to assess Yang Yi’s abilities. If Yang Yi dies, then so be it, but if Yang Yi can survive under these circumstances and even manage to kill Nicholas, then it would show whether Yang Yi’s worth lies in his capabilities or his relationships.

In any case, Yang Yi has to reassess his own value in Aaron’s eyes.

Yang Yi always thought he was important, but now it seems if he dies, he won’t even be considered a sacrifice, just a pawn that can be disposed of at any time.

But just as Yang Yi was thinking this, his mind stirred again.

No, it’s not that simple.

It’s not that he’s not valued enough, but that Aaron might need to rely on Yang Yi more heavily now, so he has to see what Yang Yi is really capable of.

If he proves useful, he’s invaluable; if not, he’s disposable. As for what Yang Yi thinks, does that matter to Aaron?

It doesn’t matter, not at all.

After realizing this, Yang Yi felt more at ease.

For now, he needs to be sharper than ever, and he must kill Nicholas. This is indeed a test, but mainly for him.

"Where to go?"

Yang Yi was somewhat troubled.

Unfamiliar with the city of Sao Paulo and lacking any allies to turn to, avoiding Nicholas’s pursuit or attack would truly be challenging.

As for a counterattack, better to save that thought for later.

Deciding on a course of action, Yang Yi spoke loudly: "Kate, get my gun out."

Kate quickly retrieved Yang Yi’s gun from the box, and then Yang Yi said with a grave voice: "Send them our location, tell Anton and Paul where we are, and tell them that I will set up an ambush site here. No matter how many people come after us, take them down!"

In this unfamiliar city, running or hiding is not the best option. Taking out Nicholas’s minions during the confusion to create a safe period is necessary before considering the next move.

If many people are constantly pursuing them, true escape would be far from satisfying.

Kate shouted: "I’ve sent them our location. Anything else to say?"

Yang Yi extended his hand, and Kate handed him a walkie-talkie.

"Take down everyone!"

Yang Yi was determined; although he was a spy who should avoid direct combat as much as possible, he was not a pushover to be trifled with. When it came time to fight, when it was essential to fight, he and the Organization of Water were not afraid of any adversary.

"We’ll make our stand here!"

Yang Yi tossed the walkie-talkie aside, then he slammed on the brakes and swerved the car into an intersection.

Getting out of the car, Yang Yi opened the rear door, took the gun from Kate’s hand, and said sternly, "We’ll make our stand right here, no matter how many enemies there are, take them out."

Bonnie remained silent, but Kate picked up a submachine gun, then Yang Yi lay prone on the hood of the car, while Kate lay at the rear.

After a short wait, Xiao Ran and Paul arrived; they had been close to Yang Yi from the beginning and had not yet engaged with the enemy.

So far, only the Stone Statue had been in a firefight with the enemy.

Xiao Ran and Paul’s car stopped on the other side of the road, then Xiao Ran took her gun and also lay prone on the car.

A moment later, Yang Yi and the others could faintly hear the sound of gunfire.

Soon, Anton and the Stone Statue’s car came barreling over, and no other vehicle could even follow them through the turn.

Yang Yi shouted loudly, "Take down every single one of them!"

Almost as soon as the words left his mouth, Xiao Ran opened fire.

The enemies caught up, and as soon as the car made the turn, Xiao Ran fired.

One shot at the driver, then a second at the passenger seat, two successive shots immediately caused the pursuers’ first car to lose control.

Anton’s car sped through the middle of Yang Yi’s group, fast and without stopping, but Anton then turned again at the next intersection.

No greeting, no stopping; no one knew what Anton was planning to do.

Yang Yi’s eyes were fixed behind the scope; frankly, shooting at a fast-moving car with a semi-automatic rifle was easy, but hitting the people in the car was really difficult, so he might as well save some bullets.

Even Paul did not shoot, only Xiao Ran kept firing relentlessly.

Since when had Xiao Ran become so formidable?

Yang Yi was extremely surprised because Xiao Ran, smiling, seemed different from his impression of her, mainly because she was shooting so impressively.

She didn’t give the enemies any chance to return fire, literally one shot, one kill. Although the distance wasn’t far, the enemies were driving after all.

A pickup truck charged over, with someone manning a machine gun in the back; this time, Xiao Ran shot the gunner off the truck in one go, not giving the enemy a chance to fire.

When had Xiao Ran become so fierce?

Yang Yi felt bewildered; four cars now, Xiao Ran alone had taken out four cars, all stopped, a one-hundred-percent success rate.

Finally, someone from the second car that was stopped got out, and before the person could make any movements, that is, just after getting out of the car, Paul shot him.

The division of labor between Xiao Ran and Paul was clear; Xiao Ran shot at cars, Paul at people. They did not interfere with each other, both doing their own thing, but no one could get out of the car.

Finally, someone in a car started shooting desperately, trying to change their fate of being killed, but to no avail.

Yang Yi had not fired a single shot, nor had Kate; the two of them eagerly watched Xiao Ran and Paul’s performance.

Just then, the voice of Anton came from the walkie-talkie next to Yang Yi.

"We’ve circled to the back, we’ll launch an attack from there, surround them, don’t let a single enemy go."
