Chapter 763: Chapter 768: Foundation of Cooperation

Yarebin’s thoughts were erratic, but every sentence he spoke was to the point.

He didn’t ask Brian about Deyo’s intelligence, but instead asked Yang Yi, because Yarebin had decided that Yang Yi was the boss and Brian wasn’t. So, he only mentioned what Brian would definitely do and avoided discussing anything Brian might not do.

Yang Yi glanced at Brian and then said to Yarebin, "Tell me Annastasia’s whereabouts, and I’ll give you all the information about Deyo. In fact, we really have a lot of information."

Yarebin nodded and said, "So, you are willing to pay that price for Brian, good, let’s discuss the second matter."

After thinking for a moment, Yarebin spoke slowly, "Tell me all of Deyo’s men in Ukraine."

Yang Yi hesitated, then said in a low voice, "Deyo no longer has anyone in Kiev, our identities have been exposed, and I don’t know who Deyo will send next."

After pondering for a moment, Yarebin nodded and said, "That should be true, so then...."

Yang Yi couldn’t help but say, "Wait, you should tell me where exactly Annastasia is, otherwise I won’t cooperate with you!"

Yarebin shrugged and said, "Mm, okay, Annastasia is in Moscow. I just found out. Brian, you spoke with Annastasia. Do you think that was her mother?"

Brian said in a deep voice, "It was definitely her."

Yarebin waved his hand and said, "You can continue to contact her by phone. As long as I don’t stop you, you can say anything, so there’s no need to ask me where she is. Are you satisfied with this answer?"

Yang Yi clenched his fist.

What Yarebin had said amounted to nothing.

Yarebin smiled at Anton and said, "You don’t hate me anymore now, do you?"

Anton hesitated then said in a low voice, "Yes, strangely, after you said you had become a Black Devil, I truly don’t hate you anymore because... I’ve become a member of the Black Devils."

Yarebin smiled and said, "I understand how you feel. It’s like a bastard son finding his family after being exiled, and the hatred from abandonment naturally dissipates, at least a great part of it."

After saying this, Yarebin turned to Brian and said, "Antoine is dead. You’ll meet Annastasia and rekindle old flames. I told you Aaron is the mole, so your revenge target is clear, and you’ve found your beloved. Then you won’t seek revenge on me, right?"

Brian looked at Yarebin, then sighed and said, "Yes, I’ve completely given up the idea of taking revenge on you."

Finally, Yarebin turned to Yang Yi and said with a smile, "You see, the issue is now resolved. I don’t know how your authority is structured, but I trust in the abilities of Brian and Anton. They are not irrelevant in your team. Since we have no conflicts of interest or hatred, naturally, we have the basis for cooperation, don’t you think?"

Yang Yi realized that Yarebin was entirely right.

Although emotionally guarded and wary of Yarebin, when it came to cooperation, the Organization of Water and the Black Devils truly had nothing standing in the way.

Yang Yi couldn’t help but nod and said, "Yes, we can certainly cooperate."

Yarebin breathed a sigh of relief, then said with a helpless expression, "I have a... student. It’s not exactly the right word, but he’s kind of a student, and I plan to train him to be my successor."

Yang Yi blurted out, "Gong Yang!"

Yarebin said in surprise, "He told you? Well, it seems he lacks enough vigilance. But no matter, he must also know that you no longer pose a threat, although the reason is not exactly as he thinks. He sees the outcome but doesn’t know the actual process, alas, my student is indeed too naive and too good a person."

After expressing his opinion on Gong Yang with a sigh, Yarebin said with a sense of helplessness, "Let’s get back to my student. He’s a very emotional person. Although he’s a mercenary, he’s filled with sympathy, which is incredible. Just recently, he even aimed a gun at my head for the sake of an enemy’s child. You’re aware of his abilities; the chance of surviving when he’s aiming a gun at someone is slim."

Yang Yi deeply agreed and nodded profoundly.

But Brian said in a stern voice, "If that’s the case, why would you still choose him as your successor?"

"Because it’s so rare to find someone as kind-hearted as he is."

Yarebin spoke with an air of helplessness, "I consider myself a tool, and the Black Devils are indeed tools, but only he doesn’t see us as tools. And don’t you think that someone who maintains a moral baseline even for an enemy’s child would be even more trustworthy as a comrade? Uh, is this thought rather despicable?"

After a couple of dry laughs, Yarebin said, "Why am I telling you all this? Because I’m old, and old people talk a lot. Is that a reasonable excuse?"

Brian nodded and said, "It is, indeed."

Yarebin breathed out and said, "When Gong Yang was planning to help you out of sympathy, I originally wanted to teach him a lesson, a dark and real one, to let him understand the dangers of the underworld. But then I suddenly changed my mind. I decided to preserve my successor’s kindness, the unconditional kindness towards our own people. I find it very important. However, after he provided the information about Annastasia to you, I suddenly thought it was a waste because you still had value to us, and I regretted it. So I decided on the spur of the moment to stop him."

Brian’s mouth twitched as he listened, but Yarebin went on without any self-awareness, "I intercepted your calls, including your visit to see me today; it was all done behind Gong Yang’s back. He can fulfill his compassionate heart, while I can still use you to do some work for me without ruining his feelings. That way, there are no issues at all."

Yang Yi couldn’t help but say, "You haven’t said what it is you want to cooperate on!"

Yarebin smiled and said, "Don’t worry, mutual trust is an important foundation for cooperation. I know you don’t trust me now, so I’ve told you so much, letting you understand my thoughts. Now don’t you feel that if this is all just a transaction and not a conspiracy, our cooperation will be much easier? Young man, although lying is our instinct, you’ll find that often, telling the truth actually makes it easier to achieve our goals."

Clapping his hands, Yarebin said solemnly, "Now I’m going to discuss the specifics of our cooperation. First, tell me where Deyo is, not to me, but to Gong Yang in a reasonable way. As for other cooperation, since we have established a basis for it, there will naturally be plenty of opportunities in the future. Gentlemen, do you agree?"
