Chapter 729: Chapter 735 Curiosity

Jethro went to consult with Francois on how to proceed with their actions, but after Jethro left, Yang Yi whispered to Brian, "Are you planning to eliminate the Fearless Mercenary Corps?"

Brian smiled and said, "Isn’t eliminating the Fearless Mercenary Corps one of our objectives?"

"Taking out the Fearless Mercenary Corps is indeed great, but the question is, do we have the capacity to take them down while we’re in action against Black Devil?"

"If we manage to find Black Devil and successfully encircle them, then we can take down the Fearless Mercenary Corps, ideally wipe them out completely, or at least get rid of Francois."

Francois didn’t seem particularly formidable, but this was because the Fearless Mercenary Corps were employed by Deyo, and they were just following their employer’s requests. Thus, when the Fearless Mercenary Corps recently followed Ferdinand, they seemed to achieve little, which had nothing to do with their actual capabilities.

To become a renowned Mercenary Group, the Fearless indeed had great strength; there was no doubt about that, and they also had a large number of personnel. The difficulty of taking out the Fearless Mercenary Corps while dealing with Black Devil was genuinely high.

"If we take out Fearless, then Jethro is finished..."

Yang Yi eventually voiced his concerns. He had just regained Jethro’s trust again, and if he went and took out Fearless, he would only become enemies with Jethro.

What would he do after becoming enemies with Jethro? Just take him out as well?

Yang Yi truly felt troubled, but at this moment Brian whispered, "It’s up to you to decide. For the interest of Organization of Water, don’t restrain yourself. Eliminating Fearless and Jethro will prevent future trouble. For Jethro’s benefit, we would be in danger. What do you think we should do?"

What to do? Of course, look after one’s own interests. Let alone taking care of Jethro at the expense of Organization of Water’s demise, even leaving a hidden danger for Organization of Water wasn’t acceptable. How could Yang Yi make such a choice with so many people’s lives at stake for Jethro’s sake?

Yang Yi sighed, saying, "Alright, what are you planning to do?"

Feeling the guilt towards Jethro, Yang Yi was not in good spirits.

"We can’t define our strategy yet as we haven’t found Black Devil, but that doesn’t stop us from leaving a good impression on the Fearless Mercenary Corps for now. Let’s first get Francois to let his guard down, which will make it easier to act when the time comes."

After speaking indifferently, Brian waved his hand, saying, "Let’s focus on Black Devil for now. Once we can locate them and determine their position, then we can move on to the next step."

Having said that, Brian whispered, "I had McDonald prepare many bombs, small ones that can be detonated remotely. These bombs aren’t very powerful, but they’re light and easy to carry. During the mission, each of us can carry more, setting a few when conditions allow, to use as landmines. Most importantly, these bombs are meant for dealing with the Fearless Mercenary Corps. It’s crucial to be able to move with them. Only by working together can we have the chance to shoot them in the back."

Yet another underhanded tactic—Yang Yi didn’t have a strong sense of moral scruples, but he clearly wasn’t used to stabbing people in the back, so he inevitably felt slightly uncomfortable, not out of remorse, but an emotion he couldn’t quite put his finger on.

"Communication with Francois is very important. Who will go and explain our plan to Francois to gain his trust?"

Without hesitation, Brian said, "As long as we make Francois believe that everything is part of Jethro’s plan, then having Jethro explain would suffice. The Fearless Mercenary Corps have no reason to refuse Jethro’s arrangements. As for McGregor, he will follow Jethro’s orders completely. If Jethro tells him to listen to us, then there should be no problem. However, we will need someone with a strong ability to adapt to any situation to follow McGregor, someone who can maintain control no matter what happens."

Yang Yi looked decisively at Chris, and Brian also shifted his gaze to Chris.

With a helpless shrug, Chris said, "Guess that’s me then."

Yang Yi nodded, "That’s right, it’s you. Get ready and think about what situations you might encounter and what you should do. Remember, your task is to ensure that McGregor does whatever we tell him to."

Chris said awkwardly, "It’s going to be tough. I’m worried I’ll get shot by McGregor instead of him following my instructions. But okay, fine, I’ll do it. Whenever it comes to deception, you guys always count on me. Although I used to be a con man, I didn’t have to face..."

"Shut up."

Brian said flatly, and Chris immediately closed his mouth.

Brian looked towards Rodriguez and said, "Rod, take a car to McDonald’s place and bring back our bomb."

Rodriguez stood up and said, "Alright, I’m on it."

Brian smiled at Kate, "You young folks know how to fiddle with those computers. Get Schultz to send over the signal, and then we’ll wait and see how the Black Devil hangs a man on the flagpole."

Kate picked up a tablet, said a few words to Schultz on the phone, and then began to mess with the tablet.

Yang Yi said with anticipation, "I’m very curious about how the Black Devil will do it. If they really hang Corkdor on the flagpole, it’s hard for me to imagine how they can do it without alarming the sentries."

After thinking, Brian said, "I’m curious too. Twenty years ago, we didn’t have the chance to watch the Black Devil at work like watching TV, but now we’ve got the chance, so everyone should watch closely."

The video feed came through, with one camera side-facing the entrance of the main building and another directly facing the entrance, showing the tall flagpole.

But nothing unusual appeared on the screen.

A group of people, looking at the almost unchanging screen, soon grew impatient. After half an hour, Zhang Yong stood up and said, "It’s just after twelve now. I guess the Black Devil won’t make a move until late into the night. I’m going back to my room to sleep, call me if anything happens."

Zhang Yong left, and not long after, Chris also said, "Call me if something happens, I’m going to sleep."

People left one after another, and eventually, only four remained in front of the screen—Brian, Yang Yi, along with Xiao Ran.

It was the early hours of the morning. Although Brian wasn’t staring at the screen, he showed no intention of leaving. Yang Yi was also unable to keep watching the screen continuously, whereas Xiao Ran’s eyes were almost constantly fixed on the screen.

As for Kate, she hadn’t left. She was sitting next to Yang Yi but had already fallen asleep on the couch.
