Chapter 486: Chapter 474: Additional Item

There are many problems in this world that money can’t solve, but the problem Yang Yi is facing now can be solved with money.

If one million isn’t enough, then two million, if two million isn’t enough, then five million. Now that Yang Yi has money, a problem that can be solved with money isn’t a problem, at least not a big one.

However, Yang Yi wasn’t in a hurry. Being in a hurry would lead to being overcharged. Having money doesn’t mean one should spend it recklessly, right? Why spend more if the problem can be solved with less?

So Yang Yi stood at the door Karinichenko had pointed to, waiting for Karinichenko to open the window, and then he glanced inside.

A middle-aged man around forty was looking outside with expectant eyes. His hands and feet were also locked up, but there were no bloodstains or signs of interrogation on his body.

Yang Yi stepped aside, then Brian and Zhang Yong took turns to look.

"What do you think? Are you satisfied?"

Yang Yi did not commit, only murmuring softly, "Can we look at someone else?"

"This one, he meets your requirements..."

Where could you find so many suitable people who just happened to be locked up in prison waiting for Yang Yi to pick them out, no, to be rescued by Yang Yi? Karinichenko didn’t have anyone that Yang Yi took a fancy to.

After seeing a few more people, Yang Yi still hadn’t nodded to say he wanted any of them. After the last cell was inspected, Karinichenko became somewhat anxious.

"Which one do you actually like? There are so many people, it’s impossible that none of them are suitable, right?"

"Hmm, can we talk it over?"

Karinichenko stretched out his hand and said, "Make it quick, we’ve already spent a lot of time here."

Yang Yi, Brian, and Zhang Yong walked to the side, and then Yang Yi spoke in a low voice, "What do you think?"

Brian said gravely, "No need to talk more, just take that one."

Zhang Yong also spoke quietly, "I don’t need to know how capable that person in the cage is, but I know this person is definitely not simple. Just by looking at him, his demeanor, I can tell he’s the right choice."

Brian muttered, "A master, and definitely a top-notch one at that. There’s no one else in this prison who could catch my eye, only him. I knew he was one of our own the moment I saw him."

Yang Yi took a breath and spoke softly, "But Karinichenko said this one won’t work, and I think it will take a high price to take him with us."

Zhang Yong laughed, "Then let’s spend the money, it’s not like we don’t have any now."

Yang Yi nodded and said, "We need to be strategic about this."

With that, Yang Yi approached Karinichenko, then he spoke quietly, "I want to talk to the man whose bones have been broken in several places."

Karinichenko immediately replied, "Sure, let’s have a talk then."

Yang Yi returned to the cell of the young man he had just inspected. Waiting for the cell door to be opened, he walked in alone.

The young man, with hardly a whole bone left in his body, lay on the bed. Upon hearing the voice, he slightly opened his eyes and coldly glanced at Yang Yi.

"It’s not what you think."

Yang Yi said softly, and then he whispered, "I’m here to look for someone, to find someone suitable to work under me. You would have been suitable, but you are almost dead and have hardly any bones left unbroken, so you are of no use to me now."

The young man lying on the bed closed his eyes again.

Yang Yi continued, "I’ll ask you one question now. I can spend money to get you out of prison, and then spend more to heal your injuries. This might take a long time; if you can still work for me after you heal, would you be willing to work for me?"

The young man opened his eyes again and said weakly, "What do you want me to do?"

"Definitely not easy work; it will involve fighting and killing. We are mercenaries. I’m looking to recruit some capable fighters. You are nearly broken, perhaps already broken, but I’m willing to take a big risk to rescue you. You understand your situation now, right? So please, answer me honestly, are you willing to accept my help and then repay me with the rest of your life?"

"Nonsense, just get me out, that’s all. I’m not afraid to die, but I don’t want to die here. As long as you get me out and let me heal, I’ll do whatever you ask."

Yang Yi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Good, remember this is your choice. I’ll say it upfront, if you are useless, then consider that I’ve kindly saved your life. If you’re not, then work for me honestly until you die. However, there’s good news for you; I’m quite generous."

After speaking, Yang Yi turned and walked out of the cell. Then Karinichenko immediately asked, "How did it go?"

Yang Yi smiled and answered, "I’ll take this man, and the other twelve Alphas as well. But, I have one condition; give me the one inside."

Karinichenko replied helplessly, "No need to say it, that’s impossible. That guy can’t be released."

"Why not?"

"Because he is the one who handles Viktor’s dirty work; he’s a person of interest, I can’t let him go!"

Yang Yi smiled and said, "Twelve Alpha soldiers, a total of six hundred thousand US dollars, plus the half-broken one inside makes it six hundred and fifty thousand US dollars. Add the bearded man, and I’ll give you one million US dollars."

Without hesitating, Karinichenko declared, "Impossible, I won’t take that risk."

Yang Yi spread his hands and said, "You sell me the bearded man, and I buy the other thirteen. Just think, the one inside is nearly dead, giving him to me poses no risk for you at all. The dozen or so Alphas are meant to be released anyway, equally risk-free. The bearded man though, you can set a price for him. But, if you don’t sell me the bearded man, I won’t buy any of them at all!"

Karinichenko looked very annoyed. Yang Yi lowered his voice and said, "You could say you sold thirteen men, plus the bearded man for one million US dollars, but you see, the bearded man is just a bonus. You get my drift? I can give you two million US dollars, and if you’re working for someone else or if you have to share the money, then you can keep one million for yourself."

It’s just a matter of throwing money around, such a simple matter. Besides, the bearded man is treated as a bonus, sold together or not at all.

Karinichenko was still struggling. Yang Yi said in a low voice, "What’s there to hesitate about? It’s just a dead man walking. Sell him, and what’s the big deal? Don’t forget, two million, that’s two million, and you only need to take out one million."

Grinding his teeth, Karinichenko said firmly, "I need to make a call first!"

The deal was done, just like that.

Yang Yi said with a smile, "Sure, go make your call. Meanwhile, I’ll have a chat with the bearded man, is that okay?"
