Chapter 1136: Chapter 1141: The Professor Arrives

Gweil personally came, bringing with him his masterpiece.

When Yang Yi heard this news, he was quite shocked and said in surprise, "Why did Gweil come personally? I didn’t prepare a fake identity for him. Couldn’t he just let anyone deliver the poison? How could he show up in person? He is... a top-level fugitive, right?"

Gweil is a dangerous man; he escaped from Pelican Bay Prison. He is a chemistry professor, and most crucially, he has poisoned and killed many people.

Among the escapees from Pelican Bay Prison, who else could be the number one wanted criminal if not Professor Gweil?

Imagine this: a criminal skilled in making poison, whose mind is twisted and enjoys poisoning others. If he escaped and planned a large-scale poisoning event, who could bear it?

Such a person, who can kill stealthily and easily cause large-scale casualties, is someone the FBI is desperate to apprehend immediately. Hence, Yang Yi never planned to let Gweil come; he didn’t even think about it.

Anton shrugged helplessly and said to Yang Yi, "It was Anna who let him come because Gweil said he had to."

"Why does he have to? He just needs to produce the poison we need. Does it mean he has to personally administer it? If that’s the case, then what are we here for?"

Anton spread his hands and said, "You make a good point, but... Gweil stated that his newly synthesized poison is extremely potent and satisfies all our requirements, but there’s one downside."

"What’s the downside?"

"To achieve the best effect, the amount of poison needs to be determined based on the person’s weight. The less the amount of poison while still being lethal, the better, to avoid detection of residual poison in the blood."

Yang Yi waved his hand and asked, "What kind of poison is that potent?"

"Conotoxin extract, but it’s not just conotoxin extract. It’s said to be especially suitable for assassinations, much more useful than ricin or cyanide."

Yang Yi was skeptical and said, "Is that so? Since Anna arranged it, let him come. But once Gweil is here, we must be careful. We absolutely must be careful, he cannot be caught."

Anton nodded and said, "I understand. I’ll go pick them up from the airport when their plane is about to arrive. If there’s a problem... I will kill him."

Yang Yi couldn’t help but laugh and say, "What are you talking about? I asked you to protect him, not to kill him to silence him."

Anton calmly said, "I don’t intend to kill him. It’s just that in some special situations, killing him may be the best option, for both us and him."

Yang Yi waved his hand and said, "You don’t need to tell me this. I understand, but Gweil is one of us. We can’t deal with our own people by killing to silence them."

"But what if Gweil is captured and then confesses everything he knows?"

"He won’t confess easily. We’ll have a chance to rescue him. Heck, what are we even discussing here? Since Anna let Gweil come, there won’t be any issues, Anna will arrange everything. What I mean is, you shouldn’t think about killing as a first option whenever someone from our side is in trouble. No, no, no, this option shouldn’t even be considered."

Anton frowned and said, "You’re too..."

"Too what?"

"Your attitude could get a lot of people killed."

Yang Yi helplessly said, "At least we should try to rescue first. Only consider killing to silence them if rescue is not possible. In any case, killing to silence should not be the first option. There’s something wrong with your mindset."

Anton shrugged and said, "Alright, I was just saying."

Yang Yi glanced at his watch, then said helplessly, "You’re saying Gweil will be here soon?"

"Yes, in another three hours, the plane should be landing."

"So Gweil embarked on his journey last night?"

"Yes, oh, besides Gweil there is also Schultz. We need a computer expert, and Schultz said he is coming to the United States to see something... embrace punk?"

"Oh, that’s a woman Schultz likes. Hmm, you guys decided on this last night. Why didn’t you tell me?"

Anton replied indifferently, "Do you really want me to tell you? While you were... spending time with your girlfriend."

Yang Yi scratched his head and said, "Alright, today we should go buy that house. You and the Queen go to the airport to pick them up, I should get back to my girlfriend. Uh... Kate didn’t come, did she?"

"She didn’t come."

Yang Yi let out a long sigh, then whispered lowly, "Since it’s Anna’s decision, Gweil’s safety shouldn’t be a problem. In that case, I don’t need to worry too much. Just like that, arrange Gweil separately, keep in touch if there’s any problem, goodbye."

Yang Yi hurriedly tried to leave, Anton said with an indifferent face, "You’re leaving just like that?"

"What else should I do?"

Yang Yi glanced toward another room with a closed door and said, "Boer and Norbert are extremely busy, should I still go and bother them? Forget it."

Anton gave a nod toward another door and whispered softly, "Not going to see her, say a few words?"

Yang Yi instinctively shrank his neck and said, "Forget it, it’s not good."

"Get this straight, she is coming to terms with reality. Now she knows there will be many women around you. If you continue to interact with her at this time, she will only end up as your woman. But if you give up on her now, you might truly lose her forever."

Yang Yi came up to Anton and solemnly patted his shoulder, then he whispered softly, "It’s possible not to love, just don’t hurt. I feel like I’m scum now, but compared to you, I suddenly find that I’m not such a bad kind of scum."

After finishing speaking, Yang Yi waved his hand and loudly said, "Leaving now, see you, let me know if anything comes up."

Anton shook his head, and after waiting for Yang Yi to fully leave, he knocked on Xiao Ran’s door and loudly said, "Let’s go, time to pick them up."

Xiao Ran opened the door, she first scanned the living room, and then said indifferently, "Isn’t it still a few hours?"

"Let’s set up the fallback plan first; Gweil’s identity is too sensitive."

As the only action members of the Organization of Water in the United States were Anton and Xiao Ran, anything that might require action had to be handled by them. Xiao Ran didn’t say much, just calmly asked, "Drive one car or two?"

"Two cars. You drive Schultz, I’ll take Gweil."

"Okay, let’s go."

As she picked up car keys and left the house, seeing the empty living room, Xiao Ran suddenly became furious and then she said softly in Chinese, "Bastard!"
