Chapter 872: Chapter 877: Knowing People

The specific details were still being negotiated, but the direction had been established, that being to collaborate with Satan and remain vigilant towards Satan in the process.

Who would be responsible for initiating the attack, who for capturing people, who for covering the rear, and who for providing cover were gradually being finalized as the details were fleshed out. The discussion eventually ended.

The video conference ended, and Yang Yi, feeling exhausted, leaned back and said helplessly, "I still couldn’t persuade them. What about you? Do you agree with my view?"

Xiao Ran had not participated in the discussion; she stared at the monitor and said gravely, "To be honest, I don’t know. I’m conflicted. I think Brian is right, but I also think you make sense. I can’t decide, so I didn’t say anything."

Yang Yi sighed and asked, "Alright, then what did you see just now?"

Xiao Ran pointed at the screen and said, "A blue delivery truck entered Deyo’s villa. It was carrying fresh ingredients."

Yang Yi, intrigued, commented, "Oh? A truck delivering ingredients, that’s interesting."

The people from Satan were also discussing that truck, and soon, they reached the same conclusion as Yang Yi: the truck’s arrival indicated that Deyo was coming back.

"Have Hans look into the origin of that truck!"

Yang Yi quickly made a decision, but to his surprise, Satan had already done the job beforehand.

"Deyo is coming!"

The speaker was number thirteen, who stated calmly, "It’s a refrigerated catering vehicle carrying fresh ingredients, and I’ve got the list."

Number thirteen handed the list to Ake, who then read loudly, "Two live Brittany blue lobsters, 0.6 pounds of white truffles, two pounds of fatty foie gras, five pounds of fresh peas, five pounds of fresh asparagus, two pounds of frog legs, five pounds of snails, oysters, scallops, five pounds each, and one monkfish."

Yang Yi couldn’t help but remark, "Satan’s intelligence work is quite impressive!"

As soon as Yang Yi finished speaking, Ake said gravely, "These ingredients cost about 2,500 Euros."

Number thirteen smiled and said, "Kule High-end Ingredient Store, 2,540 Euros, plus delivery, 2,700 Euros."

Ake also smiled and said, "Whether it’s the price or the quantity, these are Deyo’s ingredients. I don’t believe he’d prepare these for his bodyguards."

Gong Yang seemed very pleased and excitedly said, "Does that mean Deyo is coming?"

"Looking at this, he’s definitely coming, and soon, because these ingredients can’t be stored for long!"

After Ake finished speaking, Yang Yi sighed heavily and turned to Xiao Ran, "Deyo will definitely come. Satan’s analysis isn’t wrong. These gourmet ingredients wouldn’t be prepared for bodyguards. They’re definitely for Deyo’s visit. Also, Satan’s intelligence work is really not bad."

Xiao Ran said, "This is crucial information that Deyo will come. So what do you think Satan might do about this?"

"If it were me, I’d definitely poison it."

It seemed heroes thought alike, and just as Yang Yi was speaking, Ake excitedly said, "We have information on Deyo’s food supply chain. Awesome! Can we poison it?"

Yang Yi laughed and said, "Great minds think alike, indeed."

Number thirteen added, "From storage to delivery, we should be able to find an opportunity to use poison, but a tiny amount would be lethal, and it could also evade detection. It wouldn’t show effects immediately, making such a poison hard to find."

A man named Flay urged, "Why not use the most poisonous poison available and make him die as soon as he eats it!"

Ake answered helplessly, "Even if Deyo hasn’t arranged for someone to taste test his food for poison, the chef will taste it. These ingredients are obviously used mainly in French cuisine, and any French chef would naturally taste his own dishes. If he can’t satisfy himself, how can he satisfy the customers, let alone please his boss? If the chef dies after tasting, then what’s the point?"

Satan really planned to administer poison, but they didn’t have the right kind of poison.

Watching the monitor and listening to Satan’s conversation, Yang Yizhen really wanted to ask them if they needed poison. "Need poison? I have it!"

Up to now, the Organization of Water had never needed to use poison, but they indeed had some, produced in minute quantities in a laboratory set up by Gweil. Although small, the quantity was definitely enough to meet the needs of the Organization of Water and, of course, also Satan’s needs.

Yang Yi glanced at Xiao Ran and couldn’t help saying, "Should we contact Gong Yang now and offer them the poison?"

Xiao Ran frowned and said, "Let’s not ... I think it’s not time to reveal ourselves yet."

Yang Yi also felt it wasn’t the right moment, but offering poison in exchange for Gong Yang’s support was a rare opportunity. However, as he was conflicted, he saw Gong Yang making a phone call.

As soon as Gong Yang started talking, Yang Yi knew that Gong Yang had indeed brought the Black Devil along.

Yang Yi knew Gong Yang had called Yarebin, and he could hear what Gong Yang was saying, but he couldn’t hear what Yarebin was saying on the phone.

Yang Yi didn’t say anything special; he was just asking Yarebin for poison, and after a while, he heard Gong Yang say, "So soon, where did the poison come from?"

After a while, Gong Yang sounded quite emotional and said, "Teacher, you’ve been at sea for several days, how is your health?"

Hearing this, Xiao Ran looked at Yang Yi and smiled, "Well, your opportunity to make a good impression is gone. They’ve found the poison. Also, Yarebin and the others have been at sea, and it’s been several days now."

Yang Yi, puzzled, said, "The Black Devil definitely came, we expected that, but where did the poison come from? It’s not easy to find poison like that for a mercenary, and for the Black Devil, where could they get it?"

The puzzle didn’t last long, as Gong Yang hung up the phone. He then found No. 13 and Ake and immediately said, "We have the poison now. We can go and get it, from the Russian Federal Security Service."

Hearing this, Yang Yi slapped his hand and said with a face full of meanings, "It really is the KGB! Satan actually has a connection with the KGB, this ...."

Scratching his head, Yang Yi helplessly said, "The more you know, the more uneasy it becomes. Satan’s power is a bit terrifying."

After thinking for a moment, Xiao Ran said, "Do you still stick to your decision?"

Yang Yi thought about it and said, "Have you noticed? Gong Yang, or let’s say the Satan Mercenary Group, can be said to be well-connected. From what we know now, Justin seems to have a good relationship with Gong Yang."

"Yes."

"Gong Yang is also very close to the Black Devil."

"Right."

"And very close to Big Ivan."

"Yeah, definitely."

"Now we also know he has ties with the KGB."

"Yes, what are you trying to say?"

Yang Yi pointed at himself and said, "Gong Yang also helped Brian a huge favor, and I owe him a big favor when there was actually nothing in it for him at that time."

Xiao Ran frowned and said, "What are you trying to say?"

Yang Yi smiled and said, "This is what we already know. Surely Gong Yang has more connections we’re unaware of. So, think about it, what kind of person must Gong Yang be to have such a network of relationships? Is it just because he can fight?"
