Chapter 806: Chapter 811: Universal Cure-all

Suddenly looking back, the Organization of Water had become a seemingly powerful Spy Organization, yet Yang Yi had just realized this.

Change was always present; growing stronger was a continuous process. But how did Yang Yi suddenly notice it? The reason was that he found dealing with Mark Schappo very simple.

A director of a national intelligence agency should never be easy to deal with. However, the Organization of Water had faced almost no resistance in this task. Wasn’t this a display of strength? Moreover, the strength of the Organization of Water was not only reflected in this aspect.

The power of the Organization of Water was also reflected in its bargaining ability.

Previously, when doing business with Justin, whatever Justin said was the price; now Yang Yi could bargain with Justin and even raise the price. It wasn’t that Yang Yi suddenly learned how to haggle, but rather that the Organization of Water had earned the right to demand more. If the Organization of Water were still at the level it was when it was first established, you think Justin would pay any attention to Yang Yi?

The Organization of Water was able to corner the Black Devil. Although they eventually had to let the Black Devil go, that was because of Brian. The interception by the Organization of Water had achieved its purpose. What was this? This was strength, formidable strength.

The Organization of Water was even planning to kill Deyo and seize his inheritance afterwards. Regardless of whether they could succeed or how many coincidences, leverage factors, or likelihood of major success were involved, within the entire underworld, daring to entertain such thoughts was a demonstration of strength.

Yang Yi suddenly felt very proud.

Under his effort, the Organization of Water was established, grew, and had become powerful.

Of course, the power of the Organization of Water could not be separated from the efforts of everyone. However, Yang Yi was the leading figure, the pivotal character. Although Yang Yi often did not act like a typical leader.

His subordinates were forceful and powerful, but this had little to do with him being the pivotal character. The so-called pivotal character meant that without him, there would be no Organization of Water.

So, what exactly was Yang Yi’s role in the Organization of Water?

Apart from the role of leader, Yang Yi fulfilled the role of a jack-of-all-trades. Although he wasn’t the strongest in any particular area, it was impressive that he was competent in everything.

Need a spy? Yang Yi could step in, although he indeed was not as good as Anton.

If it came to fighting, Yang Yi could pick up a sniper rifle and become a half-decent sniper, or grab an assault rifle and be a halfway competent commando. Although his sniping was not as good as Xiao Ran’s and his storming not as good as Zhang Yong’s, he was still fit for the role.

Need an assassin? Yang Yi had no issue. He might not fight better than Zhang Yong, but not many could beat Yang Yi. As long as he had a knife in hand, Yang Yi could become the Throat-Slitting Maniac and be a completely suitable assassin.

Need a thief or a burglar? Yang Yi definitely couldn’t match Hank, but no one else could compare to him.

If you needed a con artist, Yang Yi might be a bit behind Chris in terms of mental resilience, but in terms of skills, he was not inferior to Chris. His performances weren’t for nothing; his judgement and observation abilities were even stronger than Chris.

Need a commander? Yang Yi was more than capable. Although his experience might not be rich, his meticulous thinking and excellent judgement skills, along with his extremely sharp observational abilities, who could claim to be a match for Yang Yi? Plus, while Mike was alive, he had imparted all his knowledge to Yang Yi, so at most, Yang Yi just lacked some experience. No one else in the Organization of Water was more qualified to be the chief commander than him—not Brian, not Anton, no one.

Moreover, Yang Yi’s strongest ability was not any of the above. His real greatest strength was learning. If he needed something he didn’t know, he could learn it immediately, and he could learn most skills quickly and well. This was his most formidable trait, the most terrifying aspect.

A genius is a genius; there’s no arguing with that.

Of course, Yang Yi also had weaknesses. His weakness lay in his indecision regarding emotional issues. He couldn’t make a choice between Kate and Xiao Ran and also lacked the heart to end things clearly.

Who made Yang Yi not a real Robot?

Overall, Yang Yi is a man good at self-reflection, and he initially felt too good about how smoothly he had dealt with Mark Sharpo, which triggered a thorough appraisal of the Organization of Water’s strength and his own gains and losses. Now, he thinks he’s pretty awesome.

Yang Yi reminded himself not to be arrogant.

But it was hard not to feel smug, right? Yang Yi was just a young man, a very young one at that. Suddenly realizing how awesome he was, the fact that he wasn’t becoming arrogant or despotic actually spoke volumes about his modesty.

Thinking back to how helpless he felt when he first went abroad, the panic when the singer career had just collapsed, those... not free but fulfilling days in prison, and the despair of being stabbed several times in the United States and nearly dying, Yang Yi felt he was very fortunate to be where he was now.

Yang Yi looked at Kate and remembered when he first met her, which made him smile. Then, with a sigh, he thought to himself how hard it had been, how hard it had been both for him and for Kate.

Yang Yi’s gaze turned toward Xiao Ran.

Hmm, he knew Xiao Ran from even earlier, and though she had had her ulterior motives back then, or perhaps her own agenda, the recollection of the moment he thought he was going to die at the hands of a hitman on the streets of the United States but then saw Xiao Ran, brought an incomparable sense of being reborn from a desperate situation.

That thought gave Yang Yi a headache again.

Damn, he couldn’t think about it. Every time he reminisced, it got even harder to choose between these two women. Was he supposed to hang in limbo his whole life? It was indeed a real headache.

Xiao Ran’s face darkened because after Yang Yi glanced at her a couple of times, the smile on his face suddenly vanished, and as if that wasn’t enough, he made a painful expression and even held his head in his hands.

This was intolerable!

Xiao Ran told herself to stay calm, but her tone was ominous.

"What are you thinking about?"

Yang Yi turned to look at Xiao Ran and then immediately covered his head, saying painfully, "I don’t know why, but I suddenly have a terrible headache!"

A strong survival instinct prompted Yang Yi to give the correct response, especially since Xiao Ran had asked directly—he definitely couldn’t answer her question.

Any response would be wrong, but a headache was acceptable.

Indeed, Xiao Ran’s expression relaxed, only to frown immediately after, "Why the headache again?"

Kate also showed concern, saying, "Your headache started again?"

Just then, Jethro came out from arranging Boyata’s room and addressed Yang Yi, "Robot, I have something I want to discuss with you."

Yang Yi immediately stood up, replying, "Sure, let’s talk."

As Yang Yi walked away, Kate, looking worried, said, "Yang Yi’s headache started again. Maybe we should get him checked out at a hospital?"
