Chapter 1356: Chapter 1361 Uncontrolled

The Grey-cloaked People’s impression of Yang Yi is quite high, but Yang Yi is still in a panic.

The feeling of having no secrets is truly terrifying.

"Of course there are, you’re a very complex person, and your role is very important, so we will naturally be very, very thorough in scrutinizing you."

Bruno smiled slightly, just then, the female attendant who had just brought Yang Yi in delivered two cups of coffee.

A cup of latte was placed in front of Yang Yi, his favorite vanilla latte.

Yang Yi used the coffee to calm his inner panic, and then he found the coffee tasted really good, just the way he liked it.

Yes, Yang Yi doesn’t like his coffee too strong; he prefers it sweeter, which it seemed the Grey-cloaked People already knew.

Bruno didn’t instruct anyone to bring him coffee; he just asked if Yang Yi wanted some, and when Yang Yi said yes, the coffee was brought in.

On reflection, this seemed quite normal, nothing to fuss about.

Sipping the coffee, Bruno continued smiling, "Your combat skills are quite good, but as for marksmanship... I heard you’ve improved a lot. Well, a spy doesn’t really need exceptional shooting skills, especially a leadership-type spy. Uh, why does Aaron admire you? Because you are very much like him, very similar."

"What?"

"Aaron was once a KGB mole; you already know this."

"Yes."

"He was indeed a mole, but after contacting us, he began working for the Grey-cloaked People, and even now, although he’s dead, he’s still playing a role."

With a heartfelt sigh and a shake of the head, Bruno said, looking sorrowful, "We all thought the Cleaners would tolerate him for a long time, but none of us expected that the Cleaners would indeed make a move, that they would actually kill Aaron. All it took was one sniper, one bullet, and a great spy was gone. Humanity... is truly fragile."

"Hmm, yes, it’s hard to accept."

"The Cleaners have made a check, it’s like playing chess, and the Cleaners have made a check."

"I don’t quite understand."

Bruno sighed softly, "The Grey-cloaked People and the Cleaners are like playing an international chess game. Now, the Cleaners have killed our queen, but the Cleaners have put their king in front of our rook, it’s a crucial moment, the Cleaners have checkmated, the Grey-cloaked People lost the queen, but... we haven’t lost yet. Okay, saying these metaphoric words doesn’t mean much, let’s continue and bring the conversation back to you."

Bruno pondered again for a moment, then continued, "Aaron is our most important pawn, because he held power within the CIA, but Aaron was just cooperating with us, fully cooperating, yet he was not under our control, because we couldn’t really control a deputy director of the CIA, that’s unrealistic, but Aaron was willing to give everything for the Grey-cloaked People."

"Hmm, it seems so at present."

Bruno smiled, "Don’t think I’ve digressed, these are all very important preludes, by saying these you should understand some things. Firstly, we do not seek absolute control over anyone, absolute control means that the person loses vitality, secondly, we need people who value emotions, putting friendship or family first, not absolute profit-oriented, we don’t dare to fully trust those who prioritize absolute profits."

"I understand, and I agree with this perspective."

Bruno nodded, saying, "There is also a very important evaluation, which is those smarter than you aren’t as good at fighting as you, and those better at fighting than you aren’t as smart as you. This is your advantage, a very big advantage, you fit our requirements in all aspects, except for being an undercover for the Cleaners, oh, but we are confident you will abandon the Cleaners, so Aaron let you be his successor, as long as you deliver this item, and now you have delivered it, then you are Aaron’s successor."

Yang Yi didn’t feel any happiness, he just felt panic, because Aaron was always convinced he would believe in the Grey-cloaked People’s belief, but why?

Aaron, Bruno, where did they get their confidence from?

"I know you’re confused, but don’t rush, let’s take it one step at a time."

Bruno even began to comfort Yang Yi, smiling kindly at Yang Yi again, gesturing for him not to be nervous, and said in a low voice, "Aaron, he is the Grey-cloaked People’s Western Angel, this term has been passed down from the Middle Ages, used to this day, but this term doesn’t have much religious meaning, it’s just a customary expression.

Now let me explain the responsibilities of the Western Angel, which is to hold force in one hand and secrets in the other, as a secret organization, you know how important the word secret is to me, that is to say, defending against the Cleaners’ penetration and attack requires a professional, and counterattacking and penetrating the Cleaners also requires a professional. Over the past century, many have associated the Grey-cloaked People with spies, because we need the professional abilities of spies, but the Grey-cloaked People aren’t really a true spy organization or a complete spy organization, it’s just the need for survival that gave rise to some espionage work, that’s all.

Then I should say that Aaron was the deputy director of the CIA, he wielded significant power and was our strongest force in the United States, outside Europe. Now he is dead, can we make a newcomer the deputy director of the CIA? The answer is no; Aaron becoming the deputy director of the CIA as a Grey-cloaked People was a coincidence, but not inevitable.

Now Aaron is dead, we need a new Western Angel, and you are the most suitable, because you are smart and can fight, you are a... multi-faceted spy, you can handle all kinds of situations, you may not be able to control the CIA, but you have the Organization of Water, and as long as we fully support you, your Organization of Water can become the most powerful spy organization in the world, moreover, we don’t seek to control your Organization of Water."

Bruno’s smile showed his strong confidence.

The stronger Bruno’s confidence, the more uneasy Yang Yi felt, because what he feared was indeed becoming as Bruno said, abandoning the Cleaners and truly defecting to the Grey-cloaked People.

"I... I need to digest this..."

Yang Yi was caught off guard today, with too much information, he really needs to digest it.

Bruno wasn’t finished.

"The Grey-cloaked People’s people in the CIA can all be handed over to you, you’re too young, too inexperienced, you won’t be able to become the deputy director of the CIA within twenty years, but it doesn’t matter, because you also have the advantage, as long as you agree to become the Western Angel, then everything is not a problem."

Yang Yi still had to take a deep breath, then after a long exhale, sighed, "Is today my lucky day?"

"Yes, thank Aaron because he appreciates you, and I trust Aaron."

Yang Yi waved his hand, said, "So tell me, how can I become this Western Angel."
