Chapter 1276: Chapter 1281: Open Looting

Yang Yi and Azar’s identities once again played a crucial role. Regardless of how much Victor offered, he couldn’t get anything anymore.

Victor appeared very calm, but his eyes were definitely not friendly.

Azar noticed the look in Victor’s eyes, so he immediately became alert.

On ISIS’s turf, Azar truly had the power to eliminate a smuggler without any trouble, so this matter wasn’t just about him, but to ensure the smooth completion of his mission, Azar was also willing to eliminate Victor.

Victor didn’t know Azar’s identity, or at least even if he did know, he had to pretend he didn’t.

With a helpless gesture, Victor turned and walked away.

Victor no longer gave any hints to Yang Yi; he truly left.

Yang Yi said to the host, "Can I go with him to get it?"

The host shrugged and said, "This, well..."

"I really want the box and the contents inside. I like it very much. Hmm, to avoid any accidents, I think it’s necessary to go with him. I hope you can agree."

Azar said in a deep voice, "If there is no other issue, why not let us go along? It doesn’t affect anything."

The auction host finally said, "I need to consult, uh, I must consult."

Azar made a gesture to ask, and the host immediately walked to the side and soon disappeared, returning after a while with more than a dozen soldiers.

"You can go together, and I’ll have people protect you. You can set off now."

No need to say more, although these dozen soldiers didn’t play a protective role, Yang Yi now just wanted to quickly get the items inside the box.

With a wave of his hand, Yang Yi said in a deep voice, "Let’s go, be careful."

The soldier whose name Yang Yi didn’t know walked ahead, but after two steps, he stopped, then cautiously said, "Can you give me the money first, uh, at least half of it?"

Yang Yi stopped; he really didn’t have much cash on him, but when traveling, especially coming to a war-torn area like this, one shouldn’t be without cash.

Yang Yi waved his hand, and Anton immediately took the bag from his back, pulled out a bundle of banknotes, and handed it directly to the soldier, saying in a deep voice, "One hundred thousand US dollars."

It’s easy for the cleaner to place someone in ISIS, but arranging someone here waiting for Yang Yi was not simple at all. Yang Yi marveled at not knowing how long the cleaner had planned to create such an opportunity.

Having received the money, the soldier looked very excited, casting a reluctant glance in the direction Victor left, but immediately exhibited the cunning and generosity of a small person, realizing he couldn’t have all that money still felt very happy, saying, "Follow me, it’s a bit far from here, but it won’t take too long."

After more than twenty minutes of walking, although they were in ISIS-controlled territory, Yang Yi and his group still cautiously walked along the building edges, which added some time to their journey.

When they reached a small house, the soldier suddenly slowed down, turned to the crowd behind him, and said, "Can I make a small request?"

Azar said in a low voice, "Speak."

"I’m a bit worried, hmm, could you send someone with me to fetch the item? I... I have a hundred thousand US dollars here, which is a lot of money..."

Azar took a deep breath, almost ready to explode, when Yang Yi raised his hand and said in a deep voice, "I don’t carry money or weapons on me. I’ll go with you myself. Are you reassured now?"

"That’s great!"

Yang Yi gestured to Azar and said, "It’s normal for him to be worried, no problem. I’ll go with him, and you guys wait for me a bit."

What Yang Yi said carried weight, and he followed the soldier into the small house.

No one else was in the small house, which seemed slightly odd. The soldier said to Yang Yi, "I ran back from the front lines specifically, uh, that’s why I’m worried. After all, carrying so much money, it’s safer to hide it. I know you don’t care about this little money, but for me, it’s really a lot of money."

After looking back and seeing no one following, the soldier entered a small room.

A rug covered the floor, with a cardboard box next to it containing some worthless household items. The soldier rummaged through the box and pulled out a black object resembling an iron cross.

"This is it, what was taken out of the box, just a piece of metal, surely belonging to a heathen..."

As he spoke, the soldier lowered his voice and said, "Keep it, it’s important, we will attempt to seize it back, whatever the cost!"

Yang Yi took the metal cross without showing emotion. It was a bit lighter than he expected, in a deep gray almost black color, looked metallic, felt metallic, with a smooth surface and touch that reminded Yang Yi of intricately processed stainless steel parts.

Although it just seemed like a metal piece, it was evident at a glance it wasn’t something ancient craftsmanship could produce.

Intentionally handing it over to him and then sending people to compete for it, well, that was a cleaner’s approach.

Yang Yi nodded and said in a low voice, "When?"

"Everything for authenticity, everything will commence at the right time."

After finishing, the soldier said in a low voice, "This is all I know."

Yang Yi nodded, put the metal cross into his backpack, and started to leave. This time, the soldier didn’t say anything further or come out.

Upon meeting with Azar and the others, Yang Yi nodded, then said in a deep voice, "Let’s go."

Azar was somewhat puzzled, as he didn’t see anything in Yang Yi’s hand. Curiosity made him want to ask what exactly was in the box, but he felt it was not appropriate to ask, leaving him quite troubled.

Yang Yi said in a low voice, "This time we hit the jackpot. Think, something inside a golden box, could it be something ordinary? Ignorance is truly terrifying, haha."

Azar suddenly understood, "Of course, so what’s inside?"

"An antique, absolutely significant, uh, something meaningful to our faith..."

Azar again looked as though he had a sudden realization, "Oh, I see, that’s it."

Yang Yi softly said, "When will we see him?"

Azar looked at his watch and said in a low voice, "It’s still uncertain for now, oh, might need to wait a bit, but I think it won’t take too long, you can rest assured of that."
