Chapter 700: Chapter 706: Promise

The emperor is not in a hurry, but the eunuch is, while Woody isn’t in a rush, Yang Yi can’t wait another moment.

Now Yang Yi is concerned that Kiev might discover Big Ivan’s trail any moment, and in that case, Anton’s role would become critical. However, thinking about it, their main target is actually the Black Devil, and Anton’s identity is quite sensitive. Even if Anton doesn’t make it to the United States in time, it might actually be a good thing.

Yang Yi looked at Anton and said, "You go with him to the United States, take out Woody’s ex-wife, and then bring him back. Make sure the job is done clean."

Turning his head to Woody, Yang Yi spoke in a heavy tone, "How about having your mother help look after your three kids? Don’t worry, as long as you perform well, your salary will easily be enough to provide for them."

Woody shook his head, saying, "My mother can’t get custody."

Yang Yi frowned and said, "Even that’s not possible? Hm, who would get custody if your ex-wife died, the children’s grandmother?"

Woody nodded, saying, "Yes, that’s the most likely possibility."

Yang Yi frowned and said, "Then just take her out as well. Let’s do this: eliminate anyone who might take custody of the kids. I don’t mind lending you a hand with that."

Woody was terrified and then said tremblingly, "But my mother-in-law is innocent!"

After killing so many people, respect for life gradually became indifferent.

Yang Yi was startled by the solution he had suggested without thinking, wondering when he had also started to disregard life. If it was an enemy, he could order them killed without so much as a frown, but Woody’s mother-in-law was truly innocent.

"How is your mother-in-law with the kids? Is she a competent guardian?"

"She is good to the kids, I think she would be a competent guardian, but..."

"No buts, you will have money, you will have enough support to give to your mother-in-law, uh, don’t you want to find out if those kids are really yours?"

Like insulted, Woody said harshly, "They are my kids, they must be, they definitely are!"

Yang Yi didn’t want to dwell on the issue any longer and turned to Anton, "Is it convenient for you to go to the United States with your identity?"

Anton nodded, saying, "Convenient, I have a suitable fake identity, and I’m going to book a plane ticket right now."

Yang Yi liked Anton’s style of getting things done immediately, so he smiled and said, "Good, what about you, how did you get out?"

Woody looked at Zhang Yong, who weakly said, "Fake identity, just use the same one to go back."

"Good, Anton, book him a ticket too. Get the fastest flight, sort out the matter swiftly and come back soon. I believe you can handle it quickly."

Having said that, Yang Yi waved his hand, "There’s no need to discuss this anymore, just do it."

Woody opened his mouth, then he said in a low voice, "Could I make a phone call? Is that okay? I just want to call and confirm some things."

"Who do you want to call?"

Woody said quietly, "My eldest son, he’s already nine, and there are some things I can ask him."

Thinking for a moment, Yang Yi waved his hand, "Give him a phone, but listen, put the call on speaker, I want to hear exactly what you’re going to say."

Woody quickly got ahold of a phone. After hesitating for a long time, he still made the call.

"My ex-wife often let our child play on the phone, and I told her several times I thought it was not good, but she didn’t really care. I hope my son still has his phone, I hope..."

The call connected quickly, and then a child’s voice came through.

"Hello, who are you?"

Tears almost fell from Woody’s eyes. After blinking, they still streamed down.

"I’m your dad, Evan. Is your mom next to you?"

"No, she went out with her boyfriend. Dad, aren’t you coming back? I miss you, and Judy misses you too, but mom said you don’t want us anymore."

At that moment, the sound of a child crying came through the phone. Woody’s face changed, and he asked urgently, "Who is crying? Is it your brother?"

"Yes."

"Didn’t your mom take your brother with her?"

"No, she said she’d be back soon. Dad, I don’t like mom’s boyfriend. He hit Judy."

Woody’s face twisted with fury, and then he struggled to control the tone of his voice, speaking as gently as he could, "Who? Who hit Judy!"

"Mom’s boyfriend. I don’t know his name. Also, Matthew told me to get lost. I was so angry, and mom was crying and screaming, it was really frightening, then I went to your room. Matthew told me to get lost; they were doing that kind of thing."

Woody’s face began to twitch, and then, with a trembling voice, he said, "Matthew, right? He even hit your sister!"

"No, it was another one of mom’s boyfriends. I don’t like any of them. Nobody does. Dad, I miss you. Can you come back?"

Woody’s hand shook uncontrollably, and then he said resolutely, "I will come back. Dad misses you too. I will definitely come back!"

Just then, a woman’s voice could be heard.

"Evan, what are you doing? Come and eat, oh, my poor child..."

Woody asked anxiously, "Who’s speaking, did your mom come back?"

"No, it’s Grandma. She’s come to take care of us. Mom won’t be back today, but Grandma will look after us."

"Evan, I have to hang up now. Don’t tell anyone I called you, okay?"

"Okay, Dad. I know the police don’t allow you to call me, so I won’t tell anyone. So when are you coming back?"

"Very soon, very soon. Don’t tell anyone I called you, only then can Dad come back quickly. Wait for me."

Woody hung up the phone, then turned to Yang Yi and said, "Please let me get back as soon as possible!"

Yang Yi frowned and said, "After this call, I know your last psychological barrier is gone. That’s good, so neither of us needs to feel guilty. It’s really the best outcome. But under the current circumstances, I wonder if you can be fully committed to our cause when you’re so worried about your own children?"

Woody exhaled deeply, and then he said in a somber tone, "Before I came here, all I thought about was suicide, but now I just want to kill that bitch! I love my children; I just want to give them an environment where they can grow up safe and happy. As long as you give me enough money to support my children, my life is yours. You changed my life, and I’m genuinely grateful to you. If you need me, if you want, I can blow my brains out right now. The only condition is that my children have enough money!"

Yang Yi smiled and said, "You should realize one thing, that is, we certainly don’t lack money, so your children won’t lack support payments. If you die, I’ll take responsibility for raising them all until they’re eighteen. If they have the ability to get into a top university, no matter how much it costs, I’ll pay their tuition fees. That’s my promise. Just consider my promise as the condition for buying your life. Anton, go book a plane ticket, the fastest one possible."
