Chapter 813: Chapter 818: IQ of Zero

Frankfurt.

The withdrawal from Ukraine went smoothly and swiftly, and the reason why Yang Yi chose Frankfurt as the first stop after leaving Ukraine was that he had many matters to handle there.

Boer was definitely a financial expert, so was Norbert. If the Organization of Water wanted to take Egertoni Company under its wing, their opinions were indispensable.

Besides, being in Frankfurt also gave him the chance to see Brian.

Actually, Yang Yi didn’t really want to bother Brian—if Brian wished to retire from the underworld with Annastasia, Yang Yi would have no objections.

But the problem was that Brian was eager to see Yang Yi.

Yang Yi had thought that Brian and Annastasia would be inseparable, but he had guessed wrong again.

As soon as they met, Brian couldn’t wait to pull Yang Yi aside alone.

"Hey, how have things been these past few days?"

"Absolutely amazing. These have been the most wonderful days of my life. Thank the Lord, I’m now in heaven."

Brian basked in his contentment; he looked utterly satisfied with his current circumstances.

Doubtfully, Yang Yi said, "Really?"

Brian looked insulted as he said, "Of course it’s true. Why would I lie to you?"

"Heh, that’s good, that’s good... uh, I have a question. It’s a bit inappropriate to say out loud, but everyone really does care about you... um, how far have you two progressed?"

Brian’s face fell, and he said disdainfully, "You dirty bunch!"

Brian knew what Yang Yi was asking about, and despite feeling a bit upset, he still answered the question.

"I feel like I’ve returned to my younger days. Anna and I have been to many places. We just walk around and look at things. I feel like we’re in the honeymoon phase right now."

Yang Yi asked urgently, "Are you staying in the same room?"

Brian’s face fell again, but he quickly said, "Yes, of course. We’re together, of course."

"Congratulations, you made it. So, how do you feel?"

Brian shrugged and said, "It feels real. I’m happy. The Annastasia now is the real her. She has her own opinions. She doesn’t need to disguise herself to win me over anymore. So, the her now is her true self. I’m glad about that. Uh, although we often have some minor disagreements, but isn’t that real life? You can’t expect to find a girlfriend and have her unconditionally obey you. That’s not love. That’s... fake."

Yang Yi wholeheartedly agreed with Brian’s perspective and sincerely said, "Exactly. If a woman just obeys you unconditionally, caters to your every whim, that has to be fake."

Feeling quite emotional, Yang Yi let out a long sigh, and Brian also exhaled a soft sigh.

Yang Yi looked at Brian, then asked with curiosity, "What did you want to tell me by bringing me aside?"

Brian spread his hands and said earnestly, "Annastasia is no longer with the KGB. She wants to find something to do, and your so-called safe house is obviously just a stopgap. Now that I’m certain there’s no problem with Annastasia, I want to ask if you’re willing to let her join us?"

Was it to follow the convention or to choose to believe in Brian?

Yang Yi chose to believe in Brian, and he said in a deep voice, "You think Anna is fine."

"Yes, I trust her."

"Then let her join, but what can she do?"

Brian laughed, looking very satisfied, and then he patted Yang Yi’s shoulder and confidently said, "Trust me, Anna can do much more than you think."

After speaking, Brian was about to leave when Yang Yi urgently said, "Wait, don’t be so hasty to leave, I have something to discuss with you, you know what we have to do next, right?"

"I know, isn’t it to kill Deyo and then control Steve?"

"Yes, but what do you think of this idea?"

Yang Yi appeared serious and tense, and Brian looked at him. After pondering for a moment, he said in a deep voice, "Nothing much to say, this is an opportunity that greatly enhances our strength, an opportunity not to be missed. Although this plan cannot be achieved in a short time and may not necessarily be successful, once it is, we could save ourselves ten years of struggle."

After speaking, Brian smiled and said, "So there’s no need to ponder whether to do it or not, just think about how to do it."

"So do you have any specific ideas?"

Brian shook his head and smiled, "The arrangement you have made is the best choice we can make right now, I have nothing to add. However..."

"However what?"

"Maybe Anna can offer you some advice on the details."

Yang Yi said helplessly, "Please, I know you really want Anna to integrate into the Organization of Water quickly, but there’s no need to flatter her like this. I can’t believe you have no ideas on the specifics of the implementation."

Brian laughed somewhat sheepishly, which was rare for him to feel embarrassed.

But after pondering for a while, Brian still shook his head and said, "Sorry, I really have no ideas. I think such a trivial matter, you can decide on your own, it’s just surveillance. Before Deyo dies, we actually can’t do much, unless you want to personally take down Deyo, and we do have the strength to do it. If you want to personally take down Deyo, I could help you devise a strategy."

Yang Yi shook his head and said, "Forget it, why bother doing it personally? The risks are too great, and the gains are not high. Many things become difficult to do if we act personally; let’s have Big Ivan do it for us."

Brian smiled and said, "Then how about we go surveil Deyo? Anastasia and I, the two of us will surveil him."

Yang Yi was stunned for a moment, then he said in a low voice, "But Anton is already there, and, I feel this kind of thing should probably be a collective effort."

Brian nodded and said, "Right, surveillance could take a long time, just the two of us is indeed not very convenient. Let’s act together then. But Anna and I must participate; she has been looking for something to do. Alright, let’s go back now and meet everyone to tell them of your decision."

Yang Yi could only smile wryly. Ever since they found Anastasia, Brian had been like a changed person. To put it not exaggeratedly, Brian’s combat effectiveness had plummeted.

Following Brian back to the living room, then Brian eagerly said to everyone, "Ladies and gentlemen, Sea God has an important announcement."

Yang Yi nodded and then he smiled and said, "Yes, we now welcome Anna into the Organization of Water, she is now one of us."

Yang Yi led the applause, and after Anastasia glanced at Brian, she smiled at Yang Yi and said, "Thank you, I hope we can work well together."

Watching the expression on Anastasia’s face, seeing Brian’s eagerly pleasing look clapping vigorously, Yang Yi suddenly felt that things might not be so simple.
