Chapter 779: Chapter 784: Inscrutable

Everyone has their own strengths. Although Rodriguez wasn’t the sharpest tool in the shed and his combat skills weren’t particularly impressive, even after being trained by Aurora, his bluntness became an asset.

It was because of Rodriguez’s blunt nature that Yang Yi felt safe using him.

If everyone in the Organization of Water were schemers like Chris or had the crafty minds of a sharp-witted Anton, capable of handling anything thrown at them, then how would Yang Yi ever lead as the boss.

It was precisely because of someone like Rodriguez that Yang Yi could feel the essence of being a boss. There was no helping it, since the Organization of Water was filled with talents, and someone with a simple mind like Rodriguez was a rarity. Besides, Rodriguez, not much different from when he was in prison, maintained extreme respect for Yang Yi.

One’s own subordinate wanting to return home for a visit and enjoy a hero’s welcome—how could Yang Yi possibly refuse.

"Then go back, how much money do you have? I’ll add some more for you."

With a laugh, Rodriguez said, "No need, I have a lot of money. And why would you add money for me? Even if I have money, I wouldn’t give it all away to someone else."

Yang Yi thought for a moment and then said, "You’ve reminded me, it’s time to distribute money to everyone."

Rodriguez looked surprised and asked, "Are we distributing money again?"

"Of course, it’s time to distribute money. We’ve been involved in quite a few things recently. Even though we haven’t clashed with Black Devil, everyone took great risks in all the matters, so we definitely need to show our appreciation."

The members of the Organization of Water had made quite a bit of money lately, but whether they had money or not was their own business. For Yang Yi, as the boss, it was imperative to pay his subordinates after they had exerted effort; there was no rationale in giving money once and never again.

Zhang Yong was definitely in need of money—he would lose whatever amount he had—and the Alpha Trio should be paid as well, although not too much since there had been no battle.

Having made up his mind, upon returning to their base, Yang Yi called everyone together immediately, then announced loudly, "We are leaving Kyiv. Everyone has worked hard during this period, so it’s time to distribute money."

Although they hadn’t clashed with Black Devil, Black Devil had a marksman like Gong Yang. Any engagement would surely have resulted in casualties, so all were risking their heads following Yang Yi. This monetary distribution wasn’t about rewarding merits, but at least everyone should get a share, just not too much since in the end, there had been no battle.

After calling everyone together, Yang Yi said with an easy smile, "You’ve all worked hard. Each person will get a hundred thousand US Dollars. I will deposit the money into everyone’s accounts. After we leave Kyiv, you’ll have a few days to yourselves for personal matters, so deal with whatever you need to."

There were immediate cheers, notably from Zhang Yong.

"Finally, it’s time to get paid."

Elated with the prospect of having money and time, Zhang Yong could now look forward to gambling.

Yang Yi turned to Woody, the newly joined doctor.

Since Woody hadn’t actually done anything since he joined, and in fact, it was the Organization of Water that had done a lot for him, he should not receive any payment.

Speaking to Woody in a stern voice, Yang Yi said, "You won’t receive any money because you’ve just joined and haven’t done anything yet."

Woody nodded, silent, but Yang Yi then said, "Though you shouldn’t get paid, I am aware of your situation, so you will have a hundred thousand US Dollars. However, this is not given to you, it’s loaned to you. When it’s time for you to receive your share, I will deduct this hundred thousand from it."

Woody looked surprised, but he kept nodding his head and then, both surprised and touched, said, "Thank you... boss!"

Just then, Zhang Yong interjected anxiously, "Forget about the money for now. Hurry up and tell me how your talk with Yarebin went."

Yang Yi spread his hands and smiled, "The talk went quite well; we’ve made progress. Alright, everyone, it’s time for us to start preparing to leave. Sergei, Roman, the three of you are Ukrainian, as we’re about to leave Kyiv, do you want to go home or something?"

After exchanging glances with each other, Roman whispered, "Can we?"

"Of course, you can. What’s not allowed? Did you think you wouldn’t be able to go home after joining the Organization of Water? What a joke. If you wish to visit home, you better hurry since our time is indeed limited."

Sergei immediately said, "I want to go home to visit."

"Me too."

"Me as well. I want to take the money back to my family."

The Alpha Trio didn’t hesitate to express their desire to go home. Yang Yi looked at Rodriguez and smiled, "You’re going home too. Do you need help, or can you manage on your own?"

With a grin, Rodriguez said, "I’m not a child. Of course, I can do it on my own."

Yang Yi patted Rodriguez and then announced loudly, "The money will soon be in your accounts. Now everyone can start getting ready to leave. I have some matters to take care of. You all are free to do as you please. Uh, Xiao Ran, come with me for a moment, there’s something I need to discuss with you."

Regarding matters related to the janitorial service, Yang Yi still felt he should at least give Xiao Ran a heads-up.

After calling Xiao Ran into his room, Yang Yi said softly, "There’s something I need to discuss with you. I’m thinking of contacting the janitorial service."

Xiao Ran looked surprised and asked, "Why contact the janitorial service?"

Yang Yi spread his hands and answered, "Because if Aaron is part of the Grey-cloaked People, then the janitorial service would want to get rid of him even more than we do."

Xiao Ran paused for a moment before her face lit up with realization, "Right, such a simple thing, why didn’t I think of that?"

"We’ve been too focused on dealing with Aaron ourselves. There’s another thing, when I met with Yarebin today, he suggested I should start with the janitorial service."

Yang Yi shared with Xiao Ran exactly what Yarebin had said to him, then he asked seriously, "What do you think of Yarebin’s suggestion?"

Frowning in contemplation, Xiao Ran looked somewhat displeased, "It sounds easy enough, but it’s actually quite difficult. Yes, we are associated with the janitorial service, but how could they possibly tell you what they’re planning to do? To know the janitor’s greatest secrets, you’d need to be part of their inner circle. However, we’re only collaborators, you can’t get into the janitor’s core."

Yang Yi chuckled, "But at least we’re currently partners with the janitorial service, which is a lot simpler than dealing with the Grey-cloaked People."

Xiao Ran cast another glance at Yang Yi, her tone indifferent, "It’s up to you. Since you’ve decided, go ahead and do it. Is there anything else? If not, I’m leaving."

Xiao Ran did seem a bit angry as she departed. After she left, Yang Yi mused to himself in bewilderment, "What on earth is she angry about?"
