Chapter 1386: Chapter 1391: Don’t Want to Miss Out

If the Organization of Water were compared to a person, then this person’s hand now holds a very sharp knife.

Why does someone else joining the Organization of Water become part of it, while Cerberus joining only makes them a knife? The reason is simple. Yang Yi may never be able to truly consider these people his own, so they can only be a sharp knife, one that can be held but not part of the body.

Settling Karl Stemonsen was easier than anticipated, but that’s normal, because these people from Cerberus were already at their wits’ end; otherwise, they wouldn’t have ended up being taken in by Gong Yang. Since they are desperate, and Gong Yang can’t keep providing shelter for them, what choice do they have but to follow Yang Yi?

In this world, high-end force is always in demand. The problem is what Cerberus wants to do. If their goal is just to get rich, countless people would queue up waving money at them with better and better offers. But Cerberus aims to eliminate Big Ivan, so they either go it alone or join the Organization of Water.

So, there’s nothing particularly worth celebrating, but having four powerful… cannon fodder at hand is still something exciting.

Karl Stemonsen went out, and once Karl left, Yang Yi, who was smiling, gently let out a long breath.

Hmm, it’s all thanks to being able to leverage the Black Devil; otherwise, winning Karl’s heart would not be easy.

Experts all have self-respect. A strong sense of pride leads to arrogance, and in order for Karl and the others to follow Yang Yi’s orders without hesitation, they must be won over completely.

Now, it seems, the effect has been achieved, because Cerberus’s most adept skills aren’t rare for Yang Yi. What does this mean? It means Karl and the others have lowered their expectations of how they will be treated.

This job is one that no one else can do, versus a job that is difficult but others can complete. Is the mindset the same?

Karl Stemonsen left, Zhang Yong came in, and then Zhang Yong said in a low voice, “How did the talk go?”

“It’s settled, really easy to deceive… no, to reach a consensus with them.”

Zhang Yong nodded, then leaned closer to Yang Yi and said in a low voice, “These guys here, they really have skills. I want to tell you, uh, don’t let Brian lead them, nor Anton; leave them to me. These guys are good at fighting; if you let them do anything else, who knows. Besides, if they fall into Brian’s or Anton’s hands, they’d probably be cannon fodder. Leave them to me, use their strengths. I can’t guarantee the rest, but in the mercenary business, who can compare with us?”

Although there are only four of them, the significance of these four people is not to be underestimated, certainly not just to be used as four ordinary soldiers.

Yang Yi sighed softly and said, “You might be disappointed because these few won’t just follow your orders for money. They’ll join the Organization of Water, but they’ll maintain a high level of independence, so wanting them as your subordinates won’t happen now. Maybe in the future.”

Zhang Yong thought for a moment, then sighed and said, “With their skills, it’s more like they could command me. I do have this self-awareness.”

“No matter how capable, they can’t become commanders; it’s not fitting for their status. They’ll never truly integrate into the Organization of Water.”

张勇 smiled and said, “Yeah, impossible. So, how to arrange them next?”

“As you wish, they want to fight a few more battles. They’re not quite convinced about their losses.”

Zhang Yong clapped his hands and laughed, “I guessed it too. The Black Devil isn’t convinced either. Actually, I’m convinced, but I still want to have a go at them. Experts are rare; I just wonder about their combat skills.”

Yang Yi was startled, immediately put on a stern face and said, “Brother Yong, your situation is different now. I’m telling you, you can’t mess with them. If you’re really itching, fine, wait until you’re better, Brother Yong. We have hope now, a lot of hope; don’t give up.”

Zhang Yong still had some restlessness, but besides confidence, a master must also have self-awareness. He understood his health condition; outside he seemed fine, but he knew well how much his physical condition had declined.

With a sigh of great regret, Zhang Yong said in a low voice, “I’ll let the others know, hmm, looks like there’s training tonight.”

Yang Yi stopped Zhang Yong and then said in a low voice, “Brother Yong, play as you like tonight, but tomorrow morning, take the plane back to Europe. I won’t be keeping an eye on you; you need to be self-disciplined.”

Zhang Yong frowned and said, “Are you leaving?”

“I need to meet Big Ivan, have a proper talk about this.”

Now that actions were about to start, Yang Yi definitely had to meet Big Ivan and draft a plan.

If you’re going to act, do it thoroughly. If Big Ivan is being difficult, Yang Yi would rather abandon this operation, even if it means giving up Cerberus, because if a plan goes wrong, the consequences are too serious.

After Zhang Yong left, Grevatov came in, and upon entering the conference room, he said in a low voice, “Is there something up?”

“Karl is asking for more exercises tonight.”

“Hmm, no problem, we all want to.”

“I need to meet Big Ivan. Can you get in touch with him? If possible, I’d like to leave tonight.”

Grevatov thought for a moment, then nodded and said, “I handle Gong Yang’s affairs comprehensively now. I can contact Big Ivan, and if there aren’t any major issues, you can see him.”

Grevatov said lightly, “Are you going to see him alone? Or planning to take someone along?”

“I can go see him by myself. If Big Ivan has concerns, I can understand, so I’ll go alone.”

Grevatov smiled and said, “It’s not that he has any concerns, umm, give me five minutes.”

Grevatov left, presumably to call Big Ivan. After a while, exactly five minutes later, Grevatov returned to the conference room and smiled at Yang Yi, “Contacted him, Big Ivan welcomes you for a meeting, but I’ll be going with you.”

“All right, umm, are we leaving now?”

Grevatov shook his head and said, “Don’t rush, no need to hurry, it’s just one night’s time, I think you’d better get some sleep and leave tomorrow, it’s completely not too late.”

Yang Yi gave a wry smile and said, “I get it, it’s not because it’s not late or because you think I should rest, but because you just don’t want to miss a match with Cerberus. Fine, it’s just one night, I’ll wait for you.”
