Chapter 146: Chapter 136: Bending Over

The Number One Master’s assistance made the problem go away like cutting through butter.

The trip to the airport felt a bit hair-raising, as Gao Yi now saw everyone as an assassin out to claim the bounty on his head, which meant the disguise had to be perfect, requiring at least two hours of makeup before stepping out the door.

The airplane was a private jet, a Gulfstream business aircraft, completely empty inside because it was specially chartered for transporting guests; the Number One Master didn’t use it himself.

The Number One Master was in his fifties, with a beard meticulously shaped and styled, wearing a red and white checkered headscarf on his head. He flipped his white robe and took a seat on the sofa, then, with a grand and lavish gesture, he beckoned Gao Yi and Lin Xianghua to sit down.

"My name is Harold Abdulla Alasha, Fesari is my brother."

The Number One Master’s name was Harold, but Fesari was his brother—not surprising since they were both princes; by that logic, any of their peers would certainly be considered brothers.

Harold cast a fleeting glance at Gao Yi, then scrutinized Lin Xianghua, saying, "The things Fesari has done have disgraced our family, they have brought shame to our nation."

It seemed Fesari’s actions were known to others, but how should one say it.

Gao Yi thought for a moment, then said quietly, "We don’t know exactly what he has done, but when we did the job, he didn’t pay us, and that’s definitely not acceptable."

Harold was taken aback, as he hadn’t expected Gao Yi to respond like that.

Given Harold’s status, whatever he said typically only prompted acquiescence, but now, he brought up Fesari’s scandal as a way to justify taking action against him, yet Gao Yi didn’t play along.

This was a difficult situation indeed; was Harold to take on the guilt of striking his own brother?

Gao Yi didn’t think too much about it; he knew one thing—that family scandals should not be publicized.

Not knowing the specifics of the relationship between Harold and Fesari, even if they were distant, they were still brothers from the same family, royal brothers at that.

Scandals involving royal family members, no matter how distant, could someone truly think they wouldn’t resort to murder to silence others?

So, Gao Yi absolutely refused to agree with Harold’s sentiments.

But he still needed to provide Harold with a suitable rationale; otherwise, how could he highlight the legitimacy of Harold funding him, the assassin?

Gao Yi, filled with indignation, said, "As a super-rich man, Fesari actually defaults on his debts, and it’s over seven million dollars at that—it’s utterly shameful. This could make people doubt the commercial reputation of your family! You have the responsibility and the obligation to uphold the family’s business reputation, you can’t just let it go!"

Harold paused for a moment, then slowly nodded his head, saying with a pleased expression, "Yes, defaulting on seven million dollars and then resorting to murder to cover it up is disgraceful, it’s truly embarrassing."

Gao Yi exclaimed heatedly, "So at any cost, we have to take down Fesari, or else our future work would be impossible."

Harold nodded again, smiling, "Yes, so what do you plan to do?"

"We..."

This time Gao Yi was conflicted. He hesitated for a moment, admitting reluctantly, "We currently have no plan, but the first thing we definitely need to do is to get close to Fesari."

"Fesari is at his own home, and he’s refusing to leave because he has been injured, and his injury has become a laughing stock."

Harold thought for a moment, then said, "Fesari’s home is now heavily guarded, and it will be hard for you to break in, but, I can deliver you near his home."

Gao Yi replied, full of confidence, "That’s not a problem, though we might still need some assistance."

Harold nodded, smiling, "The more the merrier, the more assured the success. Also, although Fesari is staying in his own home, he needs to go to the dentist, as I’ve heard... someone knocked out all his teeth?"

Not knowing where Harold got his information, but Gao Yi would certainly not deny it; he simply nodded silently.

Harold laughed, his chuckles turning into a hearty guffaw, and as he broke into boisterous laughter, the great hall where Gao Yi was received filled with the sound of joyous laughter.

When Harold finally ceased his mirth, the laughter in the hall abruptly stopped.

"Just for that reason, I had to meet with you."

Harold flicked back his somewhat drooping headscarf and then said solemnly to Gao Yi, "Fesari has his own dentist, but his injuries were too severe this time. I heard that he needs to go to the hospital for treatment."

Gao Yi nodded, "Knowing which hospital he is going to and when will make things much easier."

"It’s not easy; there are a lot of guards around him, and in our country, if there is any act of terrorism, we will definitely crack down on it hard, so..."

"I understand, I understand. We are all professionals, we will definitely not make a lot of noise, and will surely get the job done quietly."

He suddenly felt guilty and unconfident as he spoke, so after hesitating for a moment, Gao Yi changed tack and continued, "But if necessary, we would rather be regarded as terrorists than fail to kill Fesari!"

These big shots’ thoughts are hard to guess, yet also easy to guess.

Fesari must die, but it would be better if there wasn’t much commotion. Still, the most important thing is that Fesari must die. So if there’s no other option, even if it causes a huge uproar, Fesari must be killed. This is called ensuring the primary objective while trying to satisfy some additional conditions, but never allowing the additional conditions to prevent completion of the primary objective.

Harold was satisfied, truly too satisfied to describe.

Where did such a considerate, yet young assassin come from?

Harold couldn’t help but smile, having said what he shouldn’t have, but now, he wanted to say more.

"We must not harm our own brothers and kin, but..."

Gao Yi immediately said, "This is a personal vendetta between me and Fesari. If he defaults on his debt, I will take his life. I hope you won’t interfere; you can’t stop me."

Harold had not hired an assassin to deal with Fesari, but he couldn’t manage the private vendetta between Fesari and the assassin, either.

Such a pretense of ignorance made for a necessary and important ritual.

Harold had received a level of satisfaction far beyond his expectations. He stood up, with a serious expression, he said to those around him, "Treat my guest well, and bring them ten million dollars in cash."

After delegating the matter to his butler, Harold rose to his feet, extending his hands with a serious face.

Gao Yi hurried forward to shake hands.

Number One Master Harold’s hand was strong and warm.

"Tell him if you need anything, any request, let him know if you run out of money, and good luck."

Gao Yi talked tough, even challenging Harold twice.

But now, Gao Yi couldn’t help but bow, he had no choice; he felt he was strong-willed, with a stiff back, but somehow, he ended up bending over to Number One Master.

When Gao Yi left, he looked back three steps at a time, reluctantly saying goodbye to his dearest Number One Master.

And Harold gave face by standing in place, rather than sitting down, even waving at him.

After walking out of the resplendent hall and getting into the back seat of a Rolls Royce Phantom, it was then that Gao Yi finally took a long breath.

Then, right there in Number One Master’s car, Gao Yi took out his phone, not caring if it might be tapped, and called Luca directly.

Luca hadn’t come because there would have been no use in him coming, and being apart at least meant they wouldn’t be caught all at once.

"I’ve met with Number One Master, everything went smoothly, very smoothly. Get me some men right away, bring in Wind Vane, contact Revenge Blade, come on, get them all here!"

He hung up the phone after speaking because there was no need for more words.

If only magic can defeat magic, then only capital can defeat capital. Number One Master had thrown in ten million dollars, and would throw in ten million more dollars.

What else to say? Just do it.
