Chapter 186: Chapter 185 Pandora Box

Paul’s face was full of sorrow and anger, while Brian’s was a picture of helplessness.

As for Yang Yi, his mind was still full of question marks, simply because he could not understand.

"I’m sorry, but I really want to ask, what is Black Devil?"

Brian let out a deep sigh and said in a low voice, "The Soviet Union KGB’s special operations team, we codenamed them Black Devil because these people really were devils, and then they began calling themselves Black Devils too..."

Paul interjected quietly, "Don’t confuse the KGB special operations team with Wimber. Wimber’s Black Devils named themselves, while the KGB special operations team’s Black Devils was a moniker we gave them."

Yang Yi asked softly, "Is there a difference?"

Paul said fiercely, "The difference is huge! Wimber also used to belong to the KGB. After the dissolution of the Soviet Union, they became a special force under the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs. They wear black clothing, which is why they call themselves Black Devils. But the KGB’s special operations team is different; they are the real Black Devils because we were the ones who named them that."

In a low voice, Brian added, "We only found out about the existence of this unit in 1982. When the Black Devils were formed, how many members they have, what specific missions they carry out—all of that is unknown. What is known is that this team took on the most difficult and dangerous combat missions for the KGB, but at the same time, they were also the best spies. This was an all-capable team. During Brezhnev’s era, nearly all of the KGB’s major operations were led by Black Devils, and nearly all of their significant victories involved the Black Devils."

After a pause, Brian continued quietly, "The KGB captives we caught said, it’s rumored that Black Devils were an ace force created by the might of the entire Soviet Union, not just the KGB. They were the strongest of the whole Soviet Union. They were really powerful."

Paul waved his hand in frustration and said, "Who cares whether they’re Black Devil or White Devil, they’re old and useless now! They’ve perished along with the Soviet Union!"

After saying that, Paul looked at Brian and asked sternly, "Boss, what exactly do you want to do?"

Slowly, Brian said, "First, I need to find Kate, but not to kill her. I just want to find her now and ask her if she truly loved me. But the one who deceived me, that man named Antoine, I will find him and then kill him, no matter whether he is KGB or Black Devil!"

The Priest said helplessly, "Okay, you still can’t forget that woman, but it doesn’t matter. I also want to ask her why. And you said his name is Antoine, right? Good, we’ll find him and slaughter him! In the most brutal way. But is that all? What about those who framed you?"

Brian said gravely, "I don’t want to think about that now. It’s been so many years. What I want most now is to find Kate."

Waving his hand dismissively, Paul, with a ferocious look on his face, said, "I have endured too much injustice and humiliation, my heart is filled with hatred and anger. I hated you, but even more, I hated those who humiliated me. After beating you up, I feel much better now. As for now, I don’t hate you anymore, not at all. I hate the person who framed you, and I will go after him even if you won’t."

After venting his anger, Paul took a deep breath and said, "But now, let’s not talk about that. Let’s put everything aside and have a big fight, to tell those who once feared us that Pandora is back!"

Brian nodded slowly, then an unhealthy excitement appeared on his otherwise gloomy face. He said savagely, "Yes! Pandora is back!"

Once again, Yang Yi asked weakly, "Sorry, could you explain what Pandora means..."

Paul said proudly, "Being cursed by the enemy is the best praise. Making the enemy truly fear you is the highest achievement. When the enemy gives you a codename out of fear, it’s the highest honor a unit can receive. Our name is the Central Intelligence Agency’s 7th Special Operations Group, but the KGB’s codename for us is Pandora Box, a name that represents unleashing fear, slaughter, defamation, pain, torture, and failure upon them!"

Full of spirit, Brian said, "Yes, we are the sources of disaster in the eyes of the Soviets! Hence, we were called Pandora Box! The only operations team in the entire CIA that was given a codename because it was us, we were the ones who brought failure to the Soviet Union time and time again, making them fear and respect us!"

Brian and Paul spoke with fervor and excitement, and then, simultaneously, they both stood up. Brian roared, "Who are we?"

"Pandora!"

"What are we?"

"The source of calamity!"

After the call and response, Brian and Paul clapped their hands together with force and then shouted in unison, "Take down the Soviet Union!"

As a bystander, Yang Yi really shouldn’t have said anything, but in that instant, he didn’t know what came over him and blurted out loud, "But the Soviet Union is already gone..."

The statement either woke someone from a dream or it killed the mood.

The fervor Brian and Paul had cooled down rapidly, and then the two awkwardly released their tight grip and sat down sheepishly.

Brian muttered in a low voice, "Yeah, the Soviet Union is gone."

Yang Yi really wanted to slap himself in the face for his loose lips—why the hell did he have to say that.

Brian exhaled softly and then said to Paul, "We need to find some of our old brothers, but before that, I need weapons, I need something handy."

Paul sprang to his feet, his face alight with excitement, "Follow me."

Brian stood up and, with a nod to Yang Yi to follow, the two of them followed Paul to his bedroom.

Standing in front of a wardrobe, Paul took a deep breath and said to Brian in a deep voice, "As a priest, I don’t have any weapons in my house, but out of sight..."

Paul yanked the wardrobe open, shoved the hanging clothes aside haphazardly, then grabbed a hook and pulled down. A wooden board came off, revealing a fingerprint lock.

After placing his finger on it, a keypad lock appeared. Quickly entering an eight-digit password, Paul said with great excitement, "Welcome to my armory, please."

A thick iron door about five centimeters thick silently slid to the side, revealing a doorway ample enough for one person to pass through.

Paul walked into his armory from the wardrobe, followed by Brian and Yang Yi.

Seeing the cabinets and the neatly arranged firearms on the walls of a room, Yang Yi couldn’t help but say, "I thought this kind of scene only existed in movies, really!"
