Chapter 1154: Chapter 1159: Looking for Trouble

Satan assassinated Mario in a stunning way. It wasn’t head-on, but it was more impactful than that, ruining a ceremony that had the whole world watching and still managing to escape unscathed.

"It actually worked? It actually worked! It actually worked..."

Bonnie was still immersed in shock, repeatedly muttering only one sentence. After a long while, she sighed deeply and said, "Alright, now I see why Gong Yang is hailed as the gun god."

Yang Yi coughed lightly and then smiled, "Now there’s only one thing for us to do, and that’s to figure out how so many winners are going to split this hundred US dollars."

Everyone was speechless, and after Anton chuckled awkwardly a couple of times, he said helplessly, "Although I suspected this might be the outcome, it still feels pretty awkward now it’s actually happened. I originally planned to use the loser’s money for a meal, but it seems like it’ll just be enough for a bottle of beer each."

Bonnie exhaled deeply and said, "Tonight’s dinner, it’s on me! Consider it paying for a lesson learned, never say never."

Yang Yi laughed, "If that’s the case, then your loss this time was indeed worthwhile. Alright, everyone, dinner’s on her."

Boer stood up and spoke in a low voice, "Doesn’t seem too difficult, I don’t get why you all are so excited."

Bonnie exclaimed loudly, "Why excited? Do you have any idea what that shot meant? It was a perfect tactic executed flawlessly, a highly efficient and synchronized team’s unimaginable sniping operation, and the final shot from the marksman demonstrated... it demonstrated an inconceivable level of marksmanship and timing control. He had to shoot the moment Mario stood up, because I saw Mario get hit right as he was getting up, which means the shooter’s anticipation was also unimaginable. You don’t understand anything!"

Boer glanced at the excited Bonnie and shrugged, "Like I said, I just don’t understand."

Bonnie was immediately at a loss for words, while Anton spoke gravely, "There are traces of Black Devil, among those who coordinated with Gong Yang there must have been Black Devil."

The whole operation had the shadow of Black Devil, but the presence of Black Devil in Satan’s operation isn’t that normal.

Black Devil elevated Satan to a new level, transforming Satan from just a mercenary group into... a different kind of mercenary group.

Yang Yi also expressed his feelings, "Indeed, even though we don’t know all the details, just looking at the course of their operation and the result tells us that the execution was perfect. Most importantly, they managed to withdraw safely, which honestly, I find quite unbelievable."

Bonnie whispered, "No wonder, no wonder Gong Yang..."

What Bonnie didn’t say was no wonder Gong Yang could become an S-level client of the cleaners.

Not wanting to pay any more attention to the excited Anton and others, Boer turned to Norbert and said, "We’ve been delayed long enough, time to get back to work."

Yang Yi also smiled and said, "Alright, we’ll reunite for dinner later. For now, I need to make a call. Mario’s dead, and if I don’t touch base with Aaron soon, he’ll think my information is too slow."

With Satan killing Mario, the task that Aaron had given Yang Yi was delayed in a dramatic fashion.

Yang Yi brought Bonnie to a room; he wanted her to watch him make the call.

"Sir, you must have received the news by now, Mario is dead."

The person on the phone, Aaron, did not seem to change his tone much and said flatly, "Yes, I’ve already been informed. Mario is dead, and the one who killed him must be Gong Yang, because now with such an incident, Gong Yang is the first that comes to mind."

Yang Yi sighed helplessly and said, "There’s no need to write an analysis report now, right? There’s only Justin left to become the Cicero Family head."

"Yes."

"As for the investigation into Satan and Gong Yang, Commander, I might not be able to provide you with results in a short period of time. After such a big operation, the Satan Mercenary Group will definitely go into hiding for a while. It’s difficult to track them at this moment, and I’m already too late to react," said Yang Yi.

Aaron replied indifferently, "I didn’t give you a time limit."

"Yes, Commander, is there anything else that needs urgent attention right now?"

Aaron let out a sigh and said, "No, just focus all your energy on the Satan investigation."

"Goodbye, Commander."

"Goodbye."

After hanging up the phone, Yang Yi said to Bonnie, "Now I don’t have to rush to investigate Gong Yang. This provides me with some time. However, next, I need to find something else to do."

Bonnie looked puzzled and asked, "Do what?"

"I don’t know, just something to distract me will suffice. What to do specifically doesn’t matter; I just need to make Aaron believe that I’m very busy lately."

Yang Yi needed to create the illusion of being occupied by something that seemed serious, time-consuming, and worthy of dedication to resolution.

The reason behind this was that Yang Yi needed time to finish his plan on how to get closer to Aaron, to gain Aaron’s trust, and then to infiltrate the Grey-cloaked People. This plan couldn’t be accomplished in a short term; Yang Yi needed time.

Where to get busy or to gain some time? Yang Yi first thought of Justin. Mario was dead, and Justin had in effect become the head of the Cicero Family. Although his position might not yet be solid, he was already seated in it.

Since Justin had become the head of the Cicero Family, it was natural for Yang Yi to reconsider how to cooperate with Justin.

Now Bonnie has to follow Yang Yi everywhere. Wherever Yang Yi goes, she goes, and as for what Yang Yi was doing, there wasn’t much Bonnie could do besides watch from the sidelines.

"Go now?"

"No need to rush, but we must find something soon."

Suddenly, Bonnie asked, "What about your fiancée?"

Yang Yi was taken aback momentarily before realizing that Bonnie was referring to Petra, not Kate.

"Petra? She..."

After a pause, Yang Yi said, "Petra will understand. I’m currently on the rise in my career, so it’s only natural that I’m busy."

Bonnie smiled and said, "Just a reminder, even though you’re busy with your career, you and Petra are in the throes of romance. If you leave her for a long time, even Petra will start to feel that something is off, no matter how naive she may be."

Yang Yi knew Bonnie had a point, but he really didn’t want Petra to be around him all the time. However, it seemed there weren’t enough reasons for Petra to be away from him for an extended period. Strictly speaking, being busy shouldn’t preclude having his girlfriend by his side.

A tricky problem, but not a major one. Yang Yi didn’t dwell on it for too long before saying to Bonnie, "I’ll handle it. Uh, I’m off to brief my people about some things."
