Chapter 526: Chapter 514: Word Game

It seemed as if there was room for easing the tension, so Yang Yi threw out a question eagerly, hoping to divert the attention of Brian and Anton.

Yang Yi knew about Black Devil, for it had destroyed everything that Brian had cherished in life. He also knew that Black Devil was formidable, because Brian had said that Black Devil was incredibly powerful.

But exactly how formidable Black Devil was, Yang Yi still didn’t know. However, now he had a more intuitive understanding of Black Devil, because Anton had spent fifteen years preparing to join Black Devil, but mind you, he had merely qualified to join Black Devil.

By joining Black Devil, would he possess the same strength as the other members of Black Devil’s troops?

The answer, of course, was no.

Even if Anton was eligible to join Black Devil and he did succeed in joining, he would still just be a newbie within Black Devil.

But Brian knew very little about Black Devil, apart from its overwhelming strength and extreme secrecy.

So, what Yang Yi said was meant to ease the tense situation between Brian and Anton and also to try to learn many secrets about Black Devil from Anton.

But Yang Yi was disappointed.

Anton responded calmly, "What kind of unit is Black Devil? I don’t know. Everything about Black Devil is a secret, and even if I did know, I wouldn’t tell anyone. I won’t tell anyone."

Yang Yi spread his hands out and then he chuckled dryly, "Alright then, let’s not talk about Black Devil."

Anton glanced at Brian and then looked back at Yang Yi. Finally, he spoke very calmly, "I don’t want to bear the grudges of Black Devil. I really like my current job, so, one last question, you need to make a choice."

Yang Yi definitely hoped to keep Anton around, but it depended on Brian.

If Brian was set on having Anton dead, Yang Yi would definitely support Brian unconditionally.

Yang Yi looked to Brian who pondered for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "If you’re not Black Devil, then there’s no grievance between us. The one I’m looking for is Yarebin, not you or any of the Black Devils. If you can act as if nothing happened today, then I won’t bring up Black Devil in front of you ever again. That’s it."

Brian had made concessions, and Anton looked at Brian, nodded slightly, and said, "Good, that works. I will go finish what I need to do. Goodbye."

Anton turned and left.

Zhang Yong let out a long breath and said in relief, "Fuck, that scared the hell out of me..."

Brian was stunned for a moment before he said thoughtfully, "A Black Devil who hasn’t officially joined, interesting."

After making his concession, Yang Yi still felt he owed Brian something. So he said softly, "Brian, what were you thinking?"

Sitting back in his chair, Brian shook his head and said in a deep voice, "Don’t worry about me, I’m fine. Let’s pretend this never happened."

Yang Yi looked at Xiao Ran and Kate, then waved his hand and said, "It’s okay now, let’s get back to business."

Sitting back in his chair, Yang Yi pondered for a moment and then said in a somber voice, "I’ve discovered something. There is more than thirty-three tons of gold. Based on my observations, there must be at least forty tons."

Hank exclaimed in surprise, "Forty tons of gold? Forty tons, tons..."

Zhang Yong, however, was curious, "How could you tell?"

"The gold bars are all of an international standard size, each weighing 12.5 kilograms. Thirty-three tons of gold should equate to 2,640 bars, but I saw at least 3,000 bars in the vault," Yang Yi said with a sigh. "It seems we won’t be getting a share of the gold, but I was wondering if we could ask the cleaners for a bigger commission?"

Zhang Yong shook his head and said, "You can’t do that. What’s been agreed upon is what’s agreed upon; it’s the rule. Besides, you could have negotiated a higher price beforehand, but now that the gold is in their hands, what’s the point of bringing it up?"

Yang Yi responded with a smile, "Alright then, forget it. Let’s just distribute the commission of 15 million US dollars to everyone."

To Yang Yi, it was merely a topic of conversation to ease the mood after experiencing a harrowing ordeal that was shockingly safe yet undeniably terrifying.

After a casual chat, someone entered the room and said with a deep voice to Yang Yi, "Please come with me, someone wants to meet you."

Yang Yi had been waiting for Terry; he felt it was time for Terry to show up.

Sure enough, after being brought into a room, Terry was standing in the middle of it.

"Congratulations, your job was done beautifully."

With an outstretched hand and a sincere face, Terry congratulated Yang Yi, then gestured for him to sit down behind a crude table.

Yang Yi sat down and, looking at Terry with a smile, said, "Should I be congratulating you on acquiring more than forty tons of gold?"

Terry shrugged and replied, "It seems you’ve noticed. Yes, we’ve obtained more gold than anticipated."

Yang Yi had hoped Terry would take the initiative to offer a higher commission, but unfortunately, Terry had no such intention.

"First, regarding the commission, the 15 million US dollars are ready. Please provide me with an account number, and the money will immediately be transferred to you."

Yang Yi wrote down an account, and upon receiving it, Terry made a phone call without hesitation. After hanging up, he smiled and said, "The money has been transferred to you. Now, let’s talk about something more important. Congratulations, you’ve become one of our ’C’ level clients."

Yang Yi smiled and said, "Very good, excellent. So, my identity issue can be resolved now, can’t it?"

Terry nodded solemnly and said with seriousness, "Yes, we can solve the problem you mentioned, but let’s talk about that later. For now, please remember a phone number and your personal identification code."

"Please go ahead."

"Don’t you need to write it down? Alright, your codename will be Sea God. Your ID code is AE856CG77. You can call this number, and when someone answers, no matter what they say, you just give your codename and say you need cleaning services. Someone will then ask for your ID code, and once you get it right, you’ll be able to contact the cleaner closest to you. As long as we can perform the task and you can afford it, then leave the rest to us."

"Wait a minute, the cost?"

"Of course, there are fees associated with all commissions. Our charges are very reasonable."

"Speaking of fees, I must ask. Solving our identity crisis in the United Kingdom should not incur any fees, right?"

Terry started to laugh, and seeing his smile, Yang Yi suddenly felt a chill in his heart.

It was the kind of smile a merchant wears when he’s gotten the better of a deal, just like the one Terry had on his face.

"Unfortunately, you’ve only gained ’C’ level client status, not a privilege that grants free problem resolution. We don’t offer free help; we never have."
