Chapter 684: Chapter 690: You Do It

With the target confirmed, the rest was easy to handle since Jethro’s requirements weren’t too high. As long as things like explosions and fires could be arranged, it naturally meant there was no big problem.

However, Yang Yi indeed wanted to get those cannons, because according to Brian’s plan, the best way to deal with the Black Devil was to hit it with heavy firepower that humans couldn’t withstand. Seeing Anton’s performance, Yang Yi felt Brian was right.

The next day, while having breakfast, Jethro, with his eyes red, said to Yang Yi, "I’ve contacted some people, but it looks like now no one can do it for me."

"Oh, why is that? Is there not enough time, or what?"

Jethro gave a wry smile and said, "Nobody’s a fool, no one dares to come."

Yang Yi was speechless. Arms dealers were bold and would definitely be able to find people who valued money over their lives, but the problem was that Jethro was looking for help, not to give away money.

With no substantial benefit and great risk, only a fool would be willing to pull chestnuts out of the fire for Jethro, especially given the time constraint. To find a suitable small arms dealer overnight to trick many cannons out of Kanchelskis’ warehouse—who would be so foolish?

But when he thought of the word "trick," Yang Yi immediately said, "Then we might as well do it ourselves."

Jethro was probably waiting for Yang Yi to say just that, so he immediately responded, "Good, you guys can do it, right?"

Yang Yi rolled his eyes. He had inadvertently pushed himself into the fray.

Trident was just a bodyguard, but Jethro’s request was definitely not something a bodyguard should do.

On one hand, Jethro had no one else to use, and on the other hand, he was already used to Trident, so now he didn’t need to look for anyone else to do any job. He simply handed everything over to Yang Yi to deal with.

And Yang Yi now felt that if he really had to follow Jethro’s plan, the personnel he currently had with him were not quite suitable.

If it was about deceiving people, Chris would certainly be useful. However, Chris couldn’t appear as himself; he needed a suitable identity as a disguise and would also need to change his appearance somewhat.

The problem was that Trident had always appeared as mercenaries in front of Jethro, and suddenly demonstrating many skills that mercenaries did not need to have, Yang Yi always felt that it would make Jethro think of other things.

Yang Yi hesitated for a moment.

Not doing this job for Jethro wasn’t out of the question, at worst it was just a matter of delaying for a few days. But to do it would require bringing in Kate, and there was also the possibility of exposing some things.

After thinking for a long time, Yang Yi finally decided to go ahead with it, not for any other reason, but because letting someone else do it didn’t guarantee success. And what he needed most now was to quickly lure out Big Ivan and the Black Devil.

"We’re not professionals at this kind of thing..."

Yang Yi stammered out a sentence and then spread his hands to Jethro, "We are just mercenaries, good at fighting and killing. Asking us to do these things is a bit difficult for us."

Jethro laughed, "Come on, does Anton look like a mercenary to you?"

Yang Yi repeatedly shook his head, "He’s different, totally different. Do you know where I found Anton? From jail, a Ukrainian prison. Don’t ask me about his background, I’m not too clear myself. Even if Anton knows a bit of everything, he can’t take care of all the business by himself, can he?"

Jethro said solemnly, "I don’t think this job is that difficult. Oh, I get it. Of course, there’s extra pay for you guys doing this task. What do you think of half a million US dollars?"

Yang Yi laughed and said, "Talking about money with our relationship seems silly, doesn’t it? It’s not about the money, well, one million then."

It’s not a question of money, but how much money.

Actually, Yang Yi didn’t care much about money at the moment, but he couldn’t appear indifferent about it, so after feigning reluctance for a while, he simply steered the conversation toward the matter of remuneration. It was better to discuss money when it came to concrete matters regardless of the good relationship.

Anton sighed and said, "I still have some money under my control. One million is fine as long as the job is done, but if it’s not successful, I can’t pay anything."

Yang Yi immediately replied, "No problem, we’ll collect the money after the job is done. Now, you just need to find a suitable arms dealer for us to impersonate, and leave the rest to us."

Jethro rubbed his chin and said, "I have a suitable candidate. I called him last night. He has enough clout to do a deal here, but that’s all he has the clout for—just this one deal, and for the money, he is only prepared to take a risk."

"What’s his name, any characteristics?"

"Jefferson, nickname Ghostface, American, a small-time arms dealer, small but with a bit of capability. He has been to Odessa before. I personally confirmed it with him on the phone last night; he’s had contact with Kanchelskis, wanted to get a batch of cheap weapons from Kanchelskis to sell, but Kanchelskis refused him."

Yang Yi frowned and said, "Why choose someone who has had contact with Kanchelskis?"

"Because he’s bold enough to come. Plus, he’s got a bit of a reputation. If we want to convince people that someone other than us made off with those cannons, then Jefferson is the most suitable."

Yang Yi thought for a moment and said, "Okay, Jefferson. So what are his features? You said he has met with Kanchelskis, so if we’re impersonating Jefferson, we definitely can’t meet with Kanchelskis again, right?"

Jethro pondered for a moment and said, "Jefferson is covered in tattoos—on his neck, hands, arms, legs, oh, and he has a very large ear gauge, the kind where the earlobe is stretched by a metal ring."

Yang Yi was taken aback and exclaimed loudly, "Are you kidding me? With such distinctive features, how can we impersonate him? It’s not like we can just go and pierce our earlobes now; that takes time to stretch."

Jethro gave a wry smile and said, "But he really is the only suitable one."

Yang Yi stroked his chin and mused for a while, and then said, "He’s the only suitable one, but we definitely need to figure something out about that ear gauge. Hmm, how big is it?"

After a moment’s thought, Jethro made a circle with his hand.

"Fuck, that big? We can only fake it then. Do you have a photo?"

"No photo, but it’s not necessary to look exactly like the real Jefferson, right?"

"Kanchelskis has seen him, so haven’t Kanchelskis’s men seen him as well?"

Jethro immediately replied, "Actually, they haven’t. I asked Jefferson about it. Kanchelskis met with him alone; such matters can’t be known by too many people."

Yang Yi nodded and said, "That’s good then. Let’s give it a try. Best if it’s successful, but if not, then we’ll just have to resort to sabotage. Now let’s check out the terrain, and also, about the funds needed for this..."

Jethro shrugged and said, "You’re free to do as you like. I will provide the funds naturally. I only have one request: get this taken care of as soon as possible."
