Chapter 889: Chapter 894 This Won’t Do

Kate was still nervously monitoring Vitali’s condition. Now, Vitali was still in danger, but his condition was ultimately much better than when he had first arrived.

Had it not been for Woody’s judgment and persistence, Vitali would have died. No, actually, when Vitali had just arrived, he was practically dead in some respects—hemorrhagic shock had already caused his heart to stop beating, so it was Woody who had snatched him back from the hands of death.

Woody was still busy. He stuck by Vitali’s side constantly, as creating a sterile environment was really killing him.

The dead do not need to worry about infection, but the problem was that Vitali had survived, and that meant Woody had to figure out how not to let Vitali get infected.

So Woody temporarily converted a room into a makeshift sterile ward. Of course, it couldn’t compare with the sterile environment of a hospital, but after repurposing a bedroom into a ward, he dared to say he had done his best.

Carrying a bottle of disinfectant, Woody rushed out and then said to Brian and Paul, sitting opposite each other, "Gentlemen, please help me. First, take a shower with the disinfectant, then put on sterile isolation suits, and after that, help me move the patient into the ward, quickly. I’m giving you two and a half hours."

Brian and Paul both stood up.

Looking at the disinfectant Woody had put down, Paul suddenly said, "This won’t work! This absolutely won’t do!"

Brian let out a sigh, then whispered, "Just help first."

After showering, putting on isolation suits, and donning masks, under Woody’s direction, they carefully moved Vitali into the ward. Then Brian and Paul also moved the still-unconscious Roman into another room.

Still in their disposable isolation suits, without changing clothes, the two sat down together in the living room.

Woody came out, spread his hands, and said urgently, "Please, we can’t afford to hire cleaning staff, so could you two help me clean this place up?"

The living room and dining area were covered in bloodstains and indeed needed cleaning, but Brian raised his hand and said, "We have some matters to discuss; we will clean up very soon."

From the moment Woody had saved Vitali, Woody’s status within the Organization of Water had skyrocketed. Previously he was practically invisible, but now, Woody was a doctor, the most reliable doctor of the Organization of Water. Importantly, he was a doctor who could save lives.

After politely asking Woody to wait, Brian and Paul fell into silence again.

Sitting face to face, you looking at me, I looking at you, they both had things to say, yet didn’t know how to begin.

Finally, Paul said softly, "Boss! This isn’t working!"

Brian took a deep breath, then nodded and said, "Yeah, this isn’t working!"

Paul pointed vaguely, unsure where to direct his finger, so after waving it around, he retracted his hand and said in a low voice, "Zhang Yong’s skills, although he’s just a mercenary, are not bad, Anton, Anton is very strong, Hans, even Hans is formidable, but they are just a ragtag bunch, no, they don’t even qualify as a bunch!"

Brian replied with a stern face, "Don’t say that, Anton is the Black Devil, and Hans comes from the Stasi, they are not ragtag."

Paul, with a look of anger, said, "But what about us? We are the Magic Box Squadron! Boss! You are the captain of the Magic Box Squadron! And now? Now we have been marginalized, Anton and Hans are assigned to escort Steve, and us? We are sitting here!"

Paul slammed his hand down, then turned his head away.

Woody came out of the bedroom, visibly annoyed, "What’s going on? You can slack off, but don’t make a racket!"

Paul immediately raised his hand, "Sorry! It was an accident, there won’t be any more noise, sorry."

Woody, still annoyed, went back inside, and Paul let out a helpless sigh before pointing in Woody’s direction, "Now even Woody treats us like this."

Brian said indifferently, "He’s the doctor, he’s the boss here now."

Paul exclaimed urgently, "The problem is we shouldn’t even be here, not responsible for looking after the injured! Boss, we are the Pandora Box, we are the sharpest knife, the most piercing spear, but now we’ve been assigned to take care of the injured, God, what’s happened to the world!"

Brian said softly, "It’s not what you think, it’s just because we... are best suited for this mission."

Paul shook his head, "No, boss, I didn’t want to say it, but now I can’t hold back, finding Kate... No, after finding Anna, you’ve changed, you became sensitive, you’ve lost that air of invincibility! All you want is to spend a peaceful life with Anna, isn’t it? You don’t want to take risks anymore, do you?"

Brian sighed lightly and said, "For a while, that was true... "

Paul, impatient, said, "Boss, I know I shouldn’t say this, but when have we, the Magic Box, ever been looked down upon wherever, whenever? Boss, I admit Annastasia is different from what I imagined, she’s charming but even more capable. This won’t do, she fell for the once invincible Pandora Box captain, not some old man wanting a quiet life!"

Brian’s face grew even more troubled, and Paul, looking remorseful, said, "Sorry, my apologies, boss, I..."

Brian gestured with his hand, "You don’t need to say anything, nor apologize, I indeed became somewhat neglectful because I... uh, you know, but it’s different now, let me tell you straight, I’ve decided to change the status quo."

Taking a breath, Brian spoke quietly, "Regarding the Organization of Water, I actually wasn’t too, too, too concerned, but now I’ve decided to change that, our status is because I and Steve knew each other early, our position within the organization was because initially it was only us, but it’s different now, so we must change."

Paul’s voice was soft, but his face lit up with excitement, "Exactly! Boss, the Organization of Water is where we can find our sense of presence, we should devote the little time and energy we have left to the Organization of Water. We have many brothers who struggle because of you, but now we have a chance to wash away their shame, a chance to make them rich, to live the life we once had with the Magic Box Squadron, and most importantly!"

Paul clenched his teeth, speaking fiercely, "Let’s rally the old brothers together, and show Annastasia who’s truly formidable!"

Brian let out a sigh and said, "The Organization of Water used to be like a joke of a Spy Organization, not knowing when it would end, I didn’t want to call all the brothers to join us in a life where we could be risking our lives at any moment, but now it’s different, if this time we really succeed... then we’ll need a lot of manpower, Paul, contact the brothers, see what they think, see if they are willing to return to the Pandora Box!"
