Chapter 619: Chapter 627 Worthless

Justin needed to borrow a demolition expert, and what demolition experts do is pretty obvious—it’s blowing stuff up. And if there’s a need for an explosion, it must be a big deal. So, Yang Yi asked Justin what the plan was. That wasn’t an unreasonable question.

After all, they were both in the same line of business. It was better to be upfront about things rather than secretive. Justin wouldn’t dare to ask for help from Yang Yi without being prepared to come clean with the details.

"I’m heading to Ukraine to take care of some business affairs. The situation there is very complex, and someone is interfering with my trade. I need to eliminate him, which is why I need to set up a car bomb," Justin explained bluntly.

After a moment of thought, Yang Yi asked, "Who?"

"The head of the Ukrainian Intelligence Agency."

Yang Yi couldn’t help but suck in a breath of cold air.

Why? That was something he couldn’t ask. Justin was willing to share his plans and even the target. If Yang Yi asked why Justin wanted to take out the head of the Ukrainian Intelligence Agency, he would be overstepping.

After pondering for a bit, Yang Yi responded softly, "Alright, I understand. You can borrow my man, but on the condition that you ensure his safety."

Justin sighed, "There are some things I can’t really tell you right now, but in time you will understand. I’ll certainly assure McDonald’s safety, even if you hadn’t mentioned it. Besides, do you think I wanted to use McDonald? No, you’re wrong. I didn’t want to, and I’m not too keen on it, but at this point, I have no other choice."

Having said that, Justin’s voice lowered, "Prepare McDonald. My guys will come to pick him up. Now, let’s talk about the intelligence you’re supposed to give me."

In a low voice, Yang Yi said, "The Deyo Group has sent someone new; he will arrive in three days. His name is Beasley, and he’s coming from Syria. Jethro and Ferdinand are planning a backstabbing move against Beasley. They’re figuring out how to deliver Beasley straight into Big Ivan’s crosshairs. How much is this intel worth to you?"

Justin chuckled, then replied coldly, "That intel... isn’t worth a penny because it’s false. Give me a hundred thousand dollars, and I’ll give you the real lowdown."

Yang Yi was stunned. Completely stunned, before he absentmindedly said, "What do you mean? Tell me."

"Beasley is already here. He arrived secretly in Ukraine ten days ago and even made contact with an armed faction in eastern Ukraine. And Beasley has just been taken out, just now."

Yang Yi was incredulous, "Impossible! What nonsense are you spouting?"

Justin disdainfully said, "Nonsense? I don’t have time to explain to you. Remember, if there’s an attack, run fast. Otherwise, don’t blame me if you get caught in the sweep. Right now, Jethro is still of value to keep around, and Ferdinand’s existence is also beneficial to us. That’s why I’ve kept your addresses under wraps, otherwise, Jethro and Ferdinand would be dead by now."

Yang Yi expressed disbelief, but Justin continued, "Things are going to get pretty chaotic in Kyiv these next couple of days. Be careful, and if things go south, just say you’re one of my men. That should save your lives. Andre is gone, and Big Ivan has handed power to an even more terrifying guy, so don’t think I’m trying to scare you. If you sense trouble brewing, hide immediately and shout that you’re Justin’s men. Remember that—it might just save your lives."

Yang Yi was no longer disbelieving; he was defiant. He said sternly, "Then who’s replaced Andre as the enemy?"

"Hmm, that person? If you really want to know, give me a billion dollars."

Yang Yi snapped, "Are you out of your mind? Not even Big Ivan’s whereabouts are worth a billion dollars."

"You’re wrong. First of all, Big Ivan’s whereabouts are definitely worth a billion, and secondly, the intel on this person is worth that much too. I’ve promised never to sell that person’s information, but if you really want it, a billion dollars will get you it. Do you have a billion? No, I didn’t think so. If not, don’t ask any further questions."

Yang Yi let out a dry laugh and said, "Fine, I won’t ask."

Justin exhaled and said, "The information I just gave you is worth far more than a hundred thousand dollars, but I’m not going to take your money. I’m not planning to give you any money either. Consider McDonald’s free help as settling the score."

Yang Yi’s face fell because he had intended to charge at least a million dollars for McDonald’s assistance. Justin was never shy about asking for money, so it only seemed fair to hit him up for a decent sum, too. Sadly, Justin had preempted him with intel, making it inappropriate to ask for payment now.

With a lack of enthusiasm, Yang Yi said, "You sneaky devil. Fine, whether McDonald agrees to help for free is up to him, but I’ll persuade him. If there’s nothing else, I’m hanging up now, goodbye."

After ending the call, Yang Yi dialed McDonald’s number, then spoke softly, "Mr. Quinn, there’s a job that requires your expertise, but there’s no pay. Do you agree?"

"Money isn’t important. What’s the job?"

"It’s about creating an explosion. Someone will come to fetch you, so please be ready."

After hanging up on McDonald, Yang Yi walked back to Anton and whispered, "How’s it going?"

"Jethro and Ferdinand have decided to drop Beasley in a place where he will certainly be found; they want to use Big Ivan’s hand to take out Beasley," Anton said quietly.

In a low voice, Yang Yi said, "But I have information that Beasley has already arrived and just now has been taken out. This intel is very reliable, so I think it’s unlikely to be incorrect."

Anton, surprised, responded, "How is that possible? Does Deyo not know even where his own people are? Jethro clearly stated that Beasley wouldn’t arrive until three days from now."

Yang Yi spread his hands, "It’s complicated. Beasley has teamed up with Nicholas; they’re negotiating with an armed group in Ukraine. I don’t know the specifics, but one thing’s clear, the Deyo Group is facing the threat of a civil war. They might start fighting among themselves before Big Ivan gets to them. And now, Beasley is dead."

Anton said softly, "Jethro and Ferdinand are still figuring out how to deal with Beasley."

"Let them be. Keep listening; new information should come through soon if my source isn’t wrong."

After finishing, Yang Yi expressed a sense of helplessness, "Jethro is under our surveillance, but why do I feel like I’ve lost control?"

Anton replied nonchalantly, "That’s because even Jethro can’t control the situation. It’s Deyo who is gambling with Big Ivan, not Jethro. Jethro doesn’t even have a grip on his own fate. You might be monitoring him, but that doesn’t mean you control everything."
