Chapter 796: Chapter 801 Can’t Wait Anymore

Yang Yi and his companions arrived at the restaurant Anton had mentioned, taking them twenty minutes, and then they proceeded to pick a spot near the entrance to sit down.

It was a restaurant with a nice ambiance, though the taste of the food was yet unknown.

Yang Yi took a seat diagonally across from the entrance and kept his eyes fixed on the restaurant’s door, ensuring that if Anton entered, he wouldn’t miss him.

Was this considered stalking? Strictly speaking, yes, it was stalking, but it was overt stalking, more precisely, it was lying in wait.

After sitting for five minutes in the restaurant, just as the appetizers arrived, Anton entered arm in arm with a woman.

Yang Yi had never imagined Anton could smile so brilliantly, so affectionately, so sincerely.

Of course, the focus was still on the woman.

This woman ... how should I put it: she wasn’t young, but she was like a peach ripe to perfection, no longer unripe but melting upon tasting.

This swindler Anton claimed psychological trauma, but he was clearly enjoying himself.

After entering, Anton spotted Yang Yi and the other two, but after a brief eye contact, he shifted his gaze away without changing his expression or giving them another look.

Yang Yi sighed deeply, whispering softly, "Just as I thought, shameless fellow!"

Paul raised his wine glass, admiring the red wine within, but his eyes were on Yang Yi, his expression a mix of a smile and seriousness, "Young man, you still have much to learn."

"Learn what, his shamelessness?"

As Paul brought the wine glass to his lips, he smiled and said, "If you had half of Anton’s skills, you would have solved your problems long ago. Admit it, your inability to handle two women isn’t because it’s disgraceful, just because you can’t do it."

Everyone in the world knew about the predicament Yang Yi faced. He wanted to say something, but after searching his mind and finding nothing fitting to say, he could only respond irritably, "Let’s eat and then leave."

When Yang Yi and his companions left, they didn’t interact with Anton at all, not even eye contact.

As they left the restaurant, Yang Yi vented, "Anton flirts around, and I still have to pay him a ten thousand US Dollars reward!"

But soon after, Yang Yi contemplated, "However, if I think of him as a ’duck,’ I feel a bit better."

Hans, puzzled, asked, "I’m curious, what does ’duck’ mean?"

"Hmm, gigolo."

Hans looked enlightened, but he immediately said, "It’s best not to let Anton know this, otherwise, you can imagine the consequences."

Yang Yi and Paul exchanged looks, both breaking into knowing smiles, then said together, "Of course not!"

After a hearty laugh, a cheerful Yang Yi said while walking, "Now it’s time to figure out how to bring back Mark Schappo. So, how do we do that?"

Paul pondered for a moment, then said, "It’s difficult; right now Donetsk is a war zone. The Ministry of Defense’s Intelligence Department’s primary task is collecting battlefield intelligence, which is different from other intelligence agencies, so it’s hard for Mark Schappo to come back from the front lines."

Yang Yi said without hesitation, "Then turn Kyiv into a war zone. Since Mark Schappo is the director, if something targeting the Ministry of Defense’s Intelligence Department happens there, he will naturally need to come back to take charge."

Hans said gravely, "Exactly, it’s a good plan. We can target assassinations on the intelligence agents or lead a breach and steal intelligence from the Ministry of Defense’s Intelligence Department. With such events, Mark Schappo should return quickly."

Paul smiled, "Maybe Mark Schappo has been wanting to come back but lacked an excuse. Perhaps he’s even on the plane back now."

Yang Yi said in a serious tone, "Whether he wants to come back or not, let’s quickly wrap this up. I like to have the initiative in my own hands, not passively waiting for an opportunity to arrive. Let’s go back and think about how to affect the Ministry of Defense’s Intelligence Department."

The three returned to their base, and naturally, there were questions about the missing Anton.

Zhang Yong asked curiously, "Why is it just the three of you who came back; what about Anton? He didn’t go out to mess around again, did he?"

Yang Yi smiled and said, "Brother Yong has sharp instincts indeed. Yes, Anton went out to mess around again."

McDonald was more concerned about the explosive, stating flatly, "Is the bomb ready?"

"Yes, it’s ready. If Mark Schappo drives his car and doesn’t notice the bomb, then he’s doomed."

McDonald laughed, then said with satisfaction, "Justin sent people to mess around for a long time, but they made no progress; they’re just buzzing around like flies all day long, unable to find Mark Schappo or getting a chance to strike. This intelligence peddler’s people just don’t cut it."

Expertise varies, and what the Organization of Water can easily accomplish doesn’t mean others can do the same.

However, McDonald’s words still caught Yang Yi’s attention, and he curiously asked, "Are Justin’s people really that bad?"

"Very bad, very poor, and highly unprofessional."

After a moment’s contemplation, McDonald seriously said, "His people are all cobbled together, they’re ones that other members of the Cicero Family didn’t want, so Justin’s strength doesn’t represent the Cicero Family’s strength, and you need to be clear about this."

Yang Yi stroked his chin and said, "It seems Justin doesn’t hold a high position in the Cicero Family, but among the Cicero Family, Justin is the only one we can deal with. I’m very dissatisfied with the Cicero Family’s style and completely distrustful."

Those with strength cannot be trusted, and although Justin, who lacks strength, was fierce in cutting down prices, at least he did nothing to betray his collaborators, so weighing the pros and cons, the Organization of Water couldn’t just kick Justin out and find another collaborator.

Yang Yi adjusted his hair and said, "Now let’s think about how to grab the attention of the Ministry of Defense’s Intelligence Department. Does anyone have any ideas?"

Hans immediately said, "Why not wait for Anton to return? As soon as he comes back, he will surely have insider information from the Ministry of Defense’s Intelligence Department, making it much easier to act."

Yang Yi certainly understood Hans’s reasoning was sound; in fact, it was his only effective way to get internal details from the Ministry of Defense’s Intelligence Department, but waiting for Anton might mean waiting until the next morning, and he was somewhat impatient.

"Waiting for Anton will mean waiting until tomorrow morning. I really am somewhat impatient, but let’s still wait for Anton to bring back the information. We could think about it all night here and it probably wouldn’t be as effective as one word from Anton. So, let’s wait, and we’ll discuss everything once Anton is back."
