Chapter 815: Chapter 820: What’s the Reason?

Can it be done?

For Boer, yes, he could do it.

There are only a few people on the planet who earn tens of billions of US dollars a year, but Boer was among them, provided he had to bring down the bank he had struggled for half his life to support.

The financial empire Boer built with his own hands—of course, he had the power to destroy it, too, because no one in the world knew the weaknesses of this bank better than he did.

It was an exciting thought indeed.

However, the excitement didn’t last long, because, as the saying goes, it’s not certain whether it can be successful.

Yang Yi wanted to say something, but at this moment his phone rang, and it was Justin who was calling.

Making a gesture for silence, Yang Yi answered the call, and then he chuckled, "Hi, my friend, what’s up?"

Justin spoke very calmly, "Yes, I have some free intelligence for you. Just now, there was a fierce battle in Kyiv. Dozens of guns were used, firing white phosphorus shells, and they annihilated an entire unit from the United States."

Yang Yi was somewhat shocked and stunned, then he whispered, "Dozens of guns annihilated a US special forces unit?"

"Yes, on the outskirts of Kyiv City. Dozens of guns fired simultaneously, with anti-aircraft missiles in support."

Yang Yi really was stunned for quite a while, then he said in a deep voice, "Can you tell me more?"

Justin replied gravely, "I don’t have much information, so I can’t tell you more details. All I know is that the Ukrainian authorities are going crazy. The current pretext for concealing the truth is a military exercise, and beyond that, I have no idea."

Yang Yi thought for a moment, then asked, "Who do you think did it?"

Justin just laughed, and then he said seriously, "I’m just informing you about this incident. If you want to know more, you’ll have to investigate on your own. I’m quite busy now, so I’m going to hang up."

After Justin hung up, looking at a stunned Yang Yi, Brian said in a deep voice, "What happened?"

Yang Yi took a deep breath and then with a look of shock, he said, "There was just a fierce battle in Kyiv. Someone used dozens of guns and completely wiped out a US special forces unit."

Brian was also taken aback, then he exclaimed loudly, "How is that possible?"

Zhang Yong also expressed great surprise, "Dozens of guns? There must be a mistake! Using dozens of guns isn’t something that can just be done on a whim. The technical complexity is too high. To use dozens of guns to annihilate a small-scale special forces unit? You must be joking; that’s nonsense!"

Yang Yi didn’t speak. Anton, however, was also frowning, "Dozens of guns, direct fire is unlikely. If it’s indirect fire, covering and totally annihilating a small-scale special forces unit in an instant is too difficult. It’s only possible if there’s artillery reconnaissance... Oh, or if the firing data was calculated in advance, and then luring people into the coverage area. Only then could it be feasible to use artillery as snipers."

Yang Yi said in a deep voice, "Dozens of guns were used, firing white phosphorus shells. We don’t know more details now, but I think this could only be the work of Big Ivan, or perhaps it’s a masterpiece by Gong Yang."

Anton frowned, "Does Big Ivan have that kind of strength? Could it have been done by Russia?"

Annastasia suddenly said, "It could never have been Russia’s doing. The consequences are too severe. This is almost tantamount to a declaration of war. Russia has no reason or necessity to do such a thing."

Yang Yi and his team had also considered using artillery against the Black Devil, only to abandon the idea due to the high difficulty, and resorted to using a Directional Mine instead of artillery.

But Gong Yang, they obliterated an American special forces team with artillery.

Yang Yi firmly believed it was Big Ivan’s doing, perhaps actually carried out by Gong Yang, but ultimately it was Big Ivan’s power at work. Besides Big Ivan, nobody else had the reason or ability to do such a thing.

Yang Yi fell into deep thought. After pondering for a long time, he suddenly said, "Why?"

It was an unconscious question from Yang Yi. Xiao Ran asked loudly, "Why what?"

Yang Yi, as if jolted awake from a dream, raised his head and said, "Big Ivan has both the reason and the necessity to do such a thing, so I’m not surprised that it happened. I’m wondering why Justin would tell me!"

Xiao Ran looked puzzled and said, "Is that what you’re considering? Uh, your thinking is quite unique."

Yang Yi exhaled and said, "I can now be sure that Justin has deep ties with Big Ivan. Moreover, Big Ivan has once again engaged in combat with the Americans in Kyiv and came out on top. This fact in itself is very important intelligence. Many in the underworld are concerned about the war between Big Ivan and Deyo, so this is information that could be sold for money. So, why would Justin give me this intelligence for free? It doesn’t make sense!"

Rodriguez said loudly, "What’s the big deal? Maybe Justin felt he owed you a favor, and then thought the intel wasn’t worth much money, so he told you."

Yang Yi shook his head and said, "Impossible. For an intelligence broker, it’s inconceivable to just give away information for free. As for Justin, even less likely. That guy is a shrewd businessman who never misses any chance to make a profit. He would only think about how to make a hefty sum from me, not give away valuable information for free—information that currently has nothing to do with us. So, why?"

The group fell into silence, and then they all looked at each other, unable to guess the reason.

At this moment, Yang Yi had a sudden look of realization and said, "I understand now!"

Annastasia said calmly, "Big Ivan has come out."

Yang Yi said excitedly, "Yes! Exactly, the hidden Big Ivan has revealed himself!"

Zhang Yong looked bewildered and said, "What does that have to do with it?"

Annastasia looked at Yang Yi and said lightly, "You promised, so share your thoughts."

Yang Yi stood up and paced around twice before saying confidently, "Big Ivan had disappeared for a long time. We’ve been guessing whether he is still alive, but those were just guesses without any proof that Big Ivan was still alive and actually confronts the United States. After I met Gong Yang, I suspected whether Gong Yang was going to take Big Ivan’s place. But now, Justin has taken the initiative to bring this intelligence to me. I think Big Ivan is indeed alive, and he has shown himself."

Zhang Yong still looked confused and said, "Just because Justin voluntarily gave you a piece of intelligence? That doesn’t necessarily connect."

Yang Yi looked at Zhang Yong and said, "What if Justin is actively spreading this information? To let more people know about this news that Ukraine is trying to cover up?"

Apart from Yang Yi and Annastasia, only Anton had a look of sudden understanding and said, "Combining what we’ve learned, that’s right. Justin is spreading the message as quickly as possible. So, Big Ivan is going to make a public appearance. He’s building momentum for Big Ivan!"

Zhang Yong’s mouth twitched a few times, then he continued looking bewildered and said, "And the reason?"
