Chapter 138: Chapter 128 - Face

Peter perhaps may not know what a nobleman means, nor would he refer to Gao Yi as his godfather, but he knew how he got to where he was today, so he clearly knew what attitude he should maintain when he saw Gao Yi.

"Boss, this way please."

Unfortunately, although Peter was smart, he ultimately made his living through skills, so his flattery wasn’t quite up to the mark; the most he could do was show a respectful demeanor towards Gao Yi and leave it at that.

But that statement doesn’t seem quite right either. Feng Biao was also skilled, yet his flattery was top-notch.

Gao Yi got out of the car and started to enter the C-130 transport aircraft through the rear cabin door.

Peter, pushing handcuffed Saibu, followed behind, and Saibu still looked dazed, doing whatever he was told, very cooperative.

The C-130’s cabin was dark and noisy, but when you could ride a military plane at will, you couldn’t really complain about comfort.

Gao Yi sat on a foldable seat by the cabin wall, with Luca and Lin Xianghua sitting next to him, while Peter had Saibu sit in the seat opposite them, then came over to Gao Yi’s side.

Close the cabin door, takeoff.

The noise in the cabin was still very loud; you had to speak up to be heard.

"I’m just curious what he did. Sholov wants to kill him, the rich in Saudi also want to kill him, by the way, who is our employer?"

Up until now, Gao Yi hadn’t asked about the employer’s identity, but since they had caught Saibu, the employer’s identity was quite obvious. It just depended on whether Gao Yi wanted to know it.

Luca didn’t hesitate to say, "It’s Fesari, a prince, but he’s not just a prince in name—he owns an oil field and a gas company, his assets should be worth over ten billion."

Gao Yi was greatly surprised and said, "What did Saibu do?"

Saibu had already confessed everything he knew, so the issues between him and this Fesari were naturally revealed, but it was just that Gao Yi didn’t yet know.

Luca hesitated for a moment, thinking for a while.

Gao Yi said, perplexed, "What’s wrong? Is it difficult to say?"

Luca spread his hands and said, "Well, Fesari bought thirty-six female slaves from Saibu, the oldest eighteen, the youngest nine. Saibu delivered them all on time, but during the last transaction, Fesari paid one million two hundred thousand and Saibu was supposed to deliver twelve female slaves, but Saibu didn’t deliver, and that’s why Fesari was very angry."

Gao Yi was stunned, then he looked baffled and asked, "Why wouldn’t Saibu deal anymore?"

"Because even a scumbag like Saibu felt Fesari was too cruel."

Luca spread his hands again, saying, "So Saibu took Fesari’s money and sold the twelve female slaves to someone else, just like that."

There are no good people in this deal, but if even a scumbag like Saibu couldn’t accept it, how vile must Fesari be?

Suddenly, Gao Yi felt something was amiss.

Luca said guardedly, "What are you thinking? Hey! Understand your role, okay? You’re an assassin. You’re not starting to feel a sense of justice, are you? Understand this! The world is just like this. All you need to do is finish your job. It’s not your place to bring peace to the world or uphold justice."

Gao Yi breathed out softly, forcing a smile, and said, "No, I don’t want to be a hero. Hmm, we get paid to take out a scumbag. That’s a righteous deed, a good thing."

Though he said that, Gao Yi couldn’t help but say, "Although we take out one scumbag for another, we’re still on the side of justice, right?"

"Of course, we must be on the side of justice. All we need to know is that we’re taking out a bad guy. As for who’s paying you to take out this scumbag, there’s no need to consider that."

Suddenly, the mood to talk was gone. Although they always emphasized that they were on the side of justice and not accomplices to evil, every time Gao Yi thought about the unseen Fesari, he felt as disgusted as if he had swallowed a fly.

After all, he was from China. Although he knew the world wasn’t always peaceful and that there were dark corners the sun didn’t shine on, when he actually started to get involved in such matters, he couldn’t bear it even before he got deeply involved.

Luca seemed to see through Gao Yi’s heart; he patted Gao Yi’s shoulder and said, "So meeting Fesari is kind of risky, but security in Saudi is good, and we have Peter with us, so we will definitely be safe. Don’t worry, at least the money will be secured, and it won’t be dangerous."

Gao Yi nodded, then said in a deep voice, "Yes, I know. I’m going to sleep for a while, wake me up when we get there."

Sleep was impossible, but fortunately, the flight was short. It wasn’t long before they wouldn’t have to endure much longer on the plane.

Once off the plane, they were at a military base which had vehicles for the local stationed troops, with normal local license plates, which was more low-key, but they also had military vehicles with US Army plates.

They were originally going for low-key, but due to safety concerns, it was now necessary to flaunt the US military’s influence.

So, they drove a Hummer SUV, which didn’t have a rooftop machine gun, but was bulletproof.

Five people, only that Saibu was thrown in the trunk, drove out of Azizi Air Base, heading directly for Damman City.

With a journey of over a hundred kilometers, but not taking too long, and the contact point with the employer was outside Damman City. Fesari certainly wouldn’t deal personally, it would definitely be one of his subordinates, so what the transaction would actually look like when they got there, Gao Yi and his team didn’t really know.

The process went rather smoothly.

The transaction location was outside Damman City, near the coast, in a square white house with a very large yard and high courtyard walls.

Looking around, there were similar villas, well spaced from each other, wide roads lined with palm trees on both sides, in a desert area where water is more expensive than oil, the maintenance cost of these roadside landscape trees must not be low.

But basically, all the houses had no fences, only the place Gao Yi and his team were looking for had very high walls, which was the only special feature.

It shouldn’t result in a firefight, because Damman isn’t Baghdad. Using a gun in this place would have very serious consequences, so, this should just be a normal transaction.

The military vehicle stopped in the villa’s driveway, then two men wearing white robes came out immediately.

It was very obvious from their faces they were astonished. They hadn’t seen the people yet, only the vehicle, so they were extremely astonished by the appearance of the military vehicle.

The two men whispered to each other, then one returned to the villa, while the remaining one watched Gao Yi’s military vehicle with great wariness.

Luca opened the car door, stepped out, and said to the man in the white robe, "Hello, Sky Garden here for a delivery."

The man in the white robe was even more astonished, speaking in English with an accent, "Sky Garden?"

He took another look at the military vehicle, then at Luca, hesitated for a moment, and finally said warily, "Where is the merchandise?"

Luca smiled, walked to the rear of the vehicle, opened the trunk, and gestured for the man to take a look.

The man in the white robe walked a few steps, saw Saibu slumped in the trunk, and his tense expression eased; he looked over the military vehicle and its occupants again, then suddenly said, "Please wait a moment, sorry, I’ll be right back."

The man in the white robe quickly turned and walked back to the villa, and the electronic gate closed swiftly behind him.

Gao Yi couldn’t help asking, "What’s going on?"

"I don’t know. Maybe they feel that our identity is different from what they imagined. That’s normal. If you found out that the arms dealer you were dealing with wasn’t a trafficker but the CEO of the Lockheed Martin Company, you’d probably react the same way."

Luca gave an inappropriate example, but the massive contrast in identity he was trying to convey was understandable.

In less than a minute, the man in the white robe came back, and this time he brought five people with him.

Two in white robes, four in normal clothes, all suitable for desert regions breathable sun protection outdoors attire, nothing special, but no need to think, they must be bodyguards and escorts.

The man in the white robe came back to Luca, offered his hand, and after waiting for Luca to shake it, he said earnestly, "My master is also here. He originally wanted to see this damned fellow immediately, but your identity is intriguing, so he wishes to meet you."

Luca was slightly stunned, and said, "Should I feel honored?"

"Of course, you are indeed honored to meet my master."

Luca was self-deprecating because the other party used the term "meet" grandiosely, which ordinary people can’t use.

Unexpectedly, the other party seriously agreed, agreeing to meet Luca was giving them face, and that face came because they had driven a military vehicle here.

There wasn’t much to say then. If it was a meeting, then it was a meeting.

The man in white waved his hand, said something to his subordinates, and the four men crowded to the rear of the vehicle, dragged Saibu down, and then pulled him away.

By this time, Saibu still looked dazed.

The man in white gestured, inviting Luca, "Leave the vehicle outside, come inside, we’ll settle accounts."

It wasn’t an enthusiastic invitation but rather seemed like a great favor was being bestowed.

Gao Yi didn’t feel like going anymore, but at this point, not seeing it through seemed regrettable, so he didn’t say anything, opened the rear car door, but as he got out, he said to Lin Xianghua, "Stay in the car."

Lin Xianghua nodded.

Gao Yi, Luca, and Peter followed the man in white through the villa’s gate, the electronic gate closing behind them once again.

Broad daylight, and they close the door so promptly—it must be suspicious.
