Chapter 606: Chapter 614 Confluence

Is it strange that we want a person dead just because we’re afraid of them?

No, it’s not strange at all. If you’re afraid of someone, you have to take them out. That’s not weird in the slightest.

As Yang Yi and Jethro talked on their way, Yang Yi gained a comprehensive understanding of Big Ivan; Big Ivan evolved from a mere name, a concept, into a living person.

Once they got back to their base, the first thing Jethro did was announce a reward.

Protecting the employer is the bodyguard’s duty—it’s only natural for them to handle certain tasks, and it’s not typical for a bodyguard to be rewarded just for doing something. But this time was different; if Trident hadn’t protected Jethro under extremely unfavorable conditions, Jethro would have been in big trouble.

If Jethro knew how to be a good boss, it would only make sense for him to show his appreciation, and that’s exactly what he did.

"You did a great job tonight. Seeing Ferdinand turn green with envy really made me happy. I owe you a drink, but given our situation, we can’t go out and have a proper drink, so..."

Jethro pulled out two stacks of cash and placed them in front of Yang Yi, smiling, "Here’s twenty thousand US dollars. It’s for drinks when we have the time."

Yang Yi took the money, saying, "Thank you."

Jethro spoke gravely, "The situation we’re in now is different. If Ferdinand decides to do something stupid, we’ll be in much greater danger than before. So, from now on, you need to be more vigilant. I’m entrusting everyone with our security."

Yang Yi nodded, "I understand. From now on, it’ll be double shifts. But if things get especially dangerous..."

Trident was there to protect Jethro but wasn’t meant to lay down their lives for him. If Jethro’s situation became too perilous to manage, it would be best for Jethro to leave.

Jethro spoke solemnly, "After tonight’s events, I can’t stay silent anymore. I need to clear things up with Deyo. If Deyo stops Ferdinand’s wrongdoings, we might be in a better position. But if Deyo firmly supports Ferdinand’s wrong actions, then we’ll have to withdraw."

After finishing, Jethro said to Yang Yi, "I need to step out for a moment to make a call."

Jethro went to make his phone call, but meanwhile, Yang Yi turned to the others, "From now on, we need to be cautious. Sergei, Vitali, you two take the first watch. We rotate every two hours."

At that moment, Zhang Yong chuckled, "That big black guy, wow, he was incredible. Did you catch his nickname? Monster. That guy truly is a monster."

Anton looked unsettled as Brian said in a deep voice, "Indeed, his body is too strong and fast. I’ve hardly ever seen someone so powerful."

Zhang Yong laughed and added, "Plus, he’s got an especially strong resistance to being hit."

"He’s untrained. If he had professional training, I don’t think you could beat him."

Brian’s words left Zhang Yong feeling defiant.

"What a joke. Even if he were trained, he wouldn’t be a match for me. Fighting isn’t just about who’s stronger."

Brian replied coolly, "That’s why I said you wouldn’t be a match for him if he were trained."

Zhang Yong hesitated, then said, "It’s too late to start training now. If that monster could get systematic professional training, I think he could become a Boxing King level fighter. Usually, big and strong guys are clumsy, but the monster was very agile. He’s a natural athlete or boxer, but now he doesn’t have that chance anymore."

Xiao Ran chuckled lightly, "What good is being strong? One bullet from me would be the end of him, so the monster chose the most unsuitable profession."

The big black guy had left such a profound impression that Yang Yi and the others couldn’t stop thinking about him even after getting home.

Curious, Yang Yi asked, "Brother Yong, what do you think would happen if I went head-to-head with that monster?"

After some thought, Zhang Yong replied, "You’d probably lose if you went at it bare-handed, but with a knife, he’d be done for."

Yang Yi smiled, "That’s not bad. I wouldn’t be foolish enough to face him empty-handed, anyway."

While Yang Yi and the others were chatting, Jethro came back out.

Jethro appeared much more relaxed.

After sitting down with the group again, Jethro spoke seriously, "I’ve spoken to Deyo, explained the current situation. Deyo is not happy with the relationship between me and Ferdinand, so now I have to work with Ferdinand."

Yang Yi spread his hands, "The important thing is how that issue is resolved. Does Deyo still insist on taking out General Hagel?"

After a moment of silence, Jethro said, "General Hagel must die. Deyo is adamant about this, but he agreed not to force those sitting on the fence to make an immediate decision."

Yang Yi let out a wry smile, "Forgive me for being blunt, but once you’ve taken out General Hagel, is there really a need to coerce anyone else to take a stand?"

Jethro sighed, "I can’t change Deyo’s decision, but the good news is Deyo has told me to operate alongside Ferdinand, so I no longer have to obey Ferdinand’s orders blindly. Plus, Deyo has put me in charge of the money."

Jethro’s status improved, and his situation got better.

Ferdinand was in charge of men, and Jethro was in charge of money. Deyo allocated some of the resources that belonged solely to Ferdinand to Jethro. However, with the current situation, power was what truly mattered, and despite his improved status, Jethro did not hold significant power.

Yang Yi said gravely, "What should we do now?"

Jethro replied softly, "Starting tomorrow, we’ll operate together with Ferdinand. First, we’ll take out General Hagel, then concentrate on finding Big Ivan’s whereabouts. If we can’t deal with Big Ivan quickly, we’ll eradicate the remnants of his forces."

After this, Jethro smiled and added, "The United States has sent their most elite special forces to eliminate Big Ivan, and the CIA is also working hard to locate him. If we come across an opponent too tough to handle, we just inform the Americans. We just need to follow behind them."

Brian suddenly asked, "Which unit are they from?"

"Don’t know. No one knows. It’s a secret, but it’s certainly the most elite unit."

Drawing a deep breath, Jethro said in a low voice, "We start the operation against General Hagel in earnest tomorrow. I have no choice but to collaborate with Ferdinand to take him out, so tomorrow, you all have to come with me to meet General Hagel."

Yang Yi frowned, "What do we need to do?"

Jethro shook his head, "Just ensure my safety. I’ve always been in touch with General Hagel, and I can talk to him, so my job is to lure him out, then Ferdinand will make his move."
