Chapter 276: Chapter 275 Can’t Wait

In a hotel in Los Angeles, Yang Yi and the other two were watching television in a room.

On their way back from the desert, once they reached the highway, Yang Yi and the others didn’t encounter any roadblocks. They rented another car midway and swapped vehicles, then smoothly made it to Los Angeles.

It was because of Tomler’s sudden death that Yang Yi and his companions escaped all dangers, so the cause of Tomler’s death naturally became the focus of their attention, except for Boer who was kept in the dark, the other three were eager to find out why Tomler died.

Although it was unlikely to find out who killed Tomler from the television, they’d at least be able to see some scenes from the site. Therefore, even though it was already night when they arrived in Los Angeles and they were both tired and hungry, they still quickly turned on the television.

Tomler’s death indeed made the news.

But watching the news, Yang Yi and the others felt it was preposterous.

Finally, Zhang Yong couldn’t hold back his anger and cursed, "Clearly, when Tomler was killed, the scene looked like a third World War, but what the fuck is this in the news? A few black gangbangers from mixed gangs can kill Tomler? Are they fucking kidding us?"

Yang Yi also felt it was fake, too fake, excessively fake.

The video was edited, and the footage in the news wasn’t continuously shot, but provided by many cell phones and surveillance cameras. However, you could tell at a glance that the footage had been trimmed, and even the edited footage was very limited.

"Did you notice, this footage has been selectively chosen, showing only the scapegoats clearly, but nothing about how Tomler’s convoy was attacked, or the actual people who attacked Tomler. All that was not captured. If it’s not the television station intentionally hiding something, then someone skillfully released the footage they wanted to release."

After Yang Yi commented indifferently, Zhang Yong disdainfully said, "This is obvious, isn’t it? Who was Tomler? The bodyguards around him were definitely not someone Boer could compare to. If some small-time gangsters could kill him, that would be ridiculous. To use a scapegoat, to manage to kill Tomler with just a few people in a direct confrontation, and to have the police cover up the truth, we don’t even need to guess to know who did it."

"Who did it?"

"Someone more powerful than Tomler did it."

Yang Yi gave Zhang Yong the middle finger and said, "Cut the crap."

Xiao Ran spoke coldly, "I only know one thing."

"What’s that?"

"The person who killed Tomler saved us, and who killed Tomler is none of our business."

Yang Yi said with a smile, "That’s yet another pointless platitude."

No matter who killed Tomler, it really had nothing to do with Yang Yi and the others, because they had no intention of returning the favor.

Zhang Yong stood up, turned off the television, and said loudly, "All right, no point in watching any more. You guys rest for a while, I need to find someone to arrange our escape route."

Xiao Ran and Yang Yi got up, and Yang Yi said with concern, "It’s not that dangerous now, why don’t you rest a bit before you go?"

Zhang Yong shook his head and said, "This can’t be delayed. It’s not too late to rest after everything’s arranged. I might not come back tonight, wait for my message."

Zhang Yong left, Xiao Ran returned to her room, while Yang Yi went to Boer’s room.

Now Boer didn’t mention his discomfort sharing a room with others anymore. Yang Yi and Boer each claimed a bed and then fell into a deep sleep until daylight.

The next day they slept until they woke up naturally. Yang Yi and Xiao Ran had a proper breakfast with Boer, and then all three of them chose to go back to their room to continue sleeping, since the past few days had really worn them out.

When it was time for lunch, Zhang Yong finally returned.

He knocked on Yang Yi’s door and, with a tired face, said, "It’s done, take your money, everything’s been arranged."

Yang Yi, filled with pleasant surprise, asked, "You got it done so quickly? That’s great, how much do we need to pay?"

"Four hundred thousand US dollars, one hundred thousand per person. If you want to include the weapons, that’ll be an additional two hundred thousand US dollars, making it six hundred thousand in total."

Without hesitation, Yang Yi turned to Boer and said, "We can take you to Europe now, but it’s going to cost money."

Before Yang Yi had even mentioned the amount, Boer spread his hands and said, "I don’t have any money right now, so you’ll have to front it for me. But don’t worry, once I get to Europe, I’ll be able to give you all the money I promised you."

Without needing to guess the outcome, Yang Yi said, "Go and ask Xiao Ran if she must take her weapon with her. Two hundred thousand is enough to buy several new sets in Europe."

After knocking on Xiao Ran’s door and waiting calmly for Yang Yi to explain the situation, Xiao Ran shook her head and said, "No, I must bring my gun. I will not abandon my own weapon, no matter how much it costs."

Yang Yi was somewhat dumbfounded and said, "Two hundred thousand US dollars, just for transport. Can’t you leave your gun at home and buy a better one in Europe?"

Xiao Ran curled her lips in disdain and said, "You, a rookie who can’t even handle a gun, have no idea what a gun means to a shooter. It’s my primary weapon into which I’ve poured countless hours. There’s no way I’m switching easily. This is non-negotiable."

Zhang Yong nodded and said, "Although I’m not a sniper, I agree with her."

Yang Yi sighed and said, "Alright, maybe I really don’t understand. Then we’ll bring the gun. Six hundred thousand US dollars, then what?"

Zhang Yong spoke gravely, "We’ll take photos for the fake passports and then process the real visas, for Italy. Italy is a Schengen member of the European Union, and once we’re in Italy, we can move freely through Europe."

Yang Yi had a United Kingdom passport, but since the United Kingdom was not a Schengen member of the European Union, he had to get a fake passport like everyone else.

Yang Yi whispered, "Fake passports, huh? Can they be used?"

Zhang Yong laughed and said, "The fake passports couldn’t be more real. You’re guaranteed unrestricted travel within the European Union, and we can take a commercial flight directly to Italy, including the airfare all within the one hundred thousand US dollar price. But if the weapons also need to be transported, that must be handled separately, and we can retrieve them once we’re in Italy."

Xiao Ran frowned and asked, "But can the weapons be guaranteed to be safe?"

Zhang Yong shrugged and said, "There are many mercenaries with the same needs as you. So far, the person I work with has never made a mistake. Your weapons will be safe. These fees are high, but they’re high for a reason, and they’re worth it."

Although Yang Yi hadn’t completely achieved his goal of practicing with firearms, he didn’t want to stay in the United States for even one more day.

"No problem, a total of six hundred thousand US dollars, right? I’ll give you the money, make the arrangements quickly. The sooner we can depart, the better. I can hardly wait."
