Chapter 1153: Chapter 1158: Master of Tactics

At a large memorial event with extremely strict security measures, Satan is planning to assassinate Mari with a gun.

In front of numerous world leaders, Yang Yi had to admit that Gong Yang had guts and was truly formidable.

Killing Mario with a single shot just seemed impossible, not to mention escaping safely after killing him—it was even more improbable.

However you think about it, it’s impossible; either you say mercenaries are just mercenaries, they don’t think things through.

Driven by a strong curiosity about Gong Yang, and also genuinely concerned about the future direction of the Cicero Family, Yang Yi and the others all gathered to watch the Normandy landing ceremony.

Annastasia led the team in doing a livestream, high-definition and close-up shots were out of the question; being able to watch Mario from a distance with a high-powered lens was already good enough.

"Those who think Gong Yang can kill Mario, put your money here; those who think he can’t, put your money there. No odds, betting is limited to a hundred dollars, the winning side takes all the money from the losing side, you can place your bets now."

The initiator of the bet was Yang Yi, who clapped his hands and said: "Start betting now, isn’t anyone interested?"

Anton placed a hundred dollars on the table, followed by Xiao Ran, then Boer, then Chris.

The betting pool was about to stall because everyone placed their money on Gong Yang’s side, meaning they all believed Gong Yang could win.

"Have you all gone mad?"

Bonnie was also there, because this action by Gong Yang was equally important to her, so she grouped together with Yang Yi.

"How is this possible? There’s tight security and surveillance, and Gong Yang is at least five hundred meters away from Mario, plus he only has one shot, using an old Mauser 98K—does he like using this gun? No, it’s because he can only use this gun. Everyone, how can you believe Gong Yang could succeed?"

Bonnie seemed incredulous, so she couldn’t help expressing her opinion, and after speaking, she decisively placed her money on Gong Yang failing.

Anton looked at Bonnie and said, "Don’t you know Gong Yang?"

"Not much."

Anton shrugged and said, "Thank you, otherwise this betting game couldn’t continue."

Xiao Ran said with a conflicted expression: "I think it’s impossible for Gong Yang to succeed, but I have an inexplicable confidence in him, so I bet he can."

Boer shrugged and said, "I don’t understand, but I trust your judgment."

Norbert hadn’t placed his bet yet, and after hesitating, he put his money on the table, saying, "I trust your professional judgment."

Finally, Yang Yi put his money on the table, casually saying, "I bet on Gong Yang winning, if he loses..."

Yang Yi didn’t continue, just at that moment, Schultz hurriedly came out and said, "Connection is established, we can watch now, come on."

The TV showed the computer screen projection, displaying the footage from a professional camera, because of the heavy emphasis on Gong Yang, Annastasia put a lot of effort into this live broadcast.

The camera was focused on Mario.

"Once seated, only a head can be seen..."

Xiao Ran muttered quietly, then frowned looking at the money on the table, and lowly said, "How to distinguish the target from a crowd of people all wearing black suits, and so many people, even though it’s a tiered podium, it still seems impossible."

Yang Yi chuckled and said, "You can still change your mind now if you want."

Xiao Ran hesitated, but she quickly shook her head and said, "No, now I think Gong Yang might not shoot, because he has no chance, if he’s not foolish then he won’t shoot."

Schultz said with keen interest, "Are you guys betting? Count me in, boss, who are you betting on?"

Yang Yi thought for a second, glanced at Bonnie, and in the end, he placed his money on Gong Yang’s side, then he said to Bonnie: "You really don’t understand Gong Yang."

The atmosphere was relaxed, everyone waiting to see whether Gong Yang could pull off a miracle.

The actors had entered the scene, and Yang Yi could see a group of people dressed as German soldiers entering the bunker, but he did not know which one of them was Gong Yang.

When the speech began, Yang Yi knew it was about to start.

Yang Yi had always been curious about one thing, which was how Gong Yang would determine Mario’s location. Rely on a slow search through the rifle’s scope? That’s laughable — it would take him until the next day to possibly find Mario’s location.

The camera focused on the Italy section, and soon after, Anton suddenly exclaimed, "I understand now!"

Anton pointed at the screen, then exclaimed with astonishment, "They’re actually using semaphore to communicate, my god, this group is quite imaginative."

Xiao Ran also appeared to have an epiphany, saying, "Well, a soldier is a soldier, my thinking was trapped in a blind spot. I’ve been thinking about how Gong Yang would locate Mario, assuming they’d use some high-tech gear, but it turns out to be semaphore."

Anton spoke in a low voice, "It’s a relay, all within visual range, one person shaking their national flag one after another, and when Gong Yang receives the signal, he quickly adjusts his position and fires the fatal shot. So there must be his people near the bunker signaling, see who’s features are most distinct."

"That bagpiper!"

"Bagpiper!"

Yang Yi and Xiao Ran shouted out in unison.

The audience took their seats, and Annastasia spotted Mario, then the camera focused on Mario, but this meant they couldn’t observe anything happening on the bunker’s side.

Yang Yi asked anxiously, "How far away?"

Anton immediately replied, "The data from that side says about four hundred and fifty meters."

Bonnie frowned and said, "Four hundred and fifty meters, using such an outdated method like semaphore to relay information, is it possible?"

No one paid attention to Bonnie; everyone was focusing on Mario. Unfortunately, because there was only one camera, Yang Yi and his group could not see how Satan was using semaphore to convey information.

The speeches ended, and the war re-enactment performance officially began.

The tension was real, especially watching Mario keep a serious face while sitting there, yet he was still sitting right there. Yang Yi was truly curious whether Mario would leave safely in the end or have his head blown off by a shot.

Anton suddenly changed his expression because he sensed something was wrong, and immediately said, "They’ve made a move!"

The camera focused on Mario but could see a small disturbance happening not far from Mario, and at the same time, Mario suddenly stood up.

Seeing Mario stand up, Yang Yi’s first reaction was that he was finished.

Yang Yi did not know how Satan made Mario stand up, but exposing just a head rather than standing to expose most of the body would certainly have different outcomes.

Yang Yi even saw the burst of blood from Mario’s chest.

There was no sound, which subtracted some realism, but seeing the burst of blood from Mario’s chest, everyone knew the outcome was sealed.

Bonnie screamed in shock, "How is this possible!"

While Bonnie screamed in shock, Anton muttered with a blissful expression, "Perfect teamwork, a tactical master..."
