Capítulo 1627: Chapter 1606: To Each Their Own Gao Yang knew he was being greedy. He wasn’t greedy in areas where others might be, like money. But at times when others could remain calm, he couldn’t resist; for someone who loved WWII guns, that room full of them was simply impossible to give up. People need to lose something to grow, Gao Yang understood this principle, and he also understood that he was being greedy, yet he just couldn’t control himself. Right now, Gao Yang really hoped that his momentary greed wouldn’t lead to any serious consequences. All he could do was pray. But even so, he couldn’t bear to leave. If he hadn’t called Shava to move house at that time, he would have already left by now. However, once Shava was called in, leaving was no longer possible. This was a case of one wrong step leading to another. Of course, it couldn’t be said to be wrong at the moment, but it certainly strengthened Gao Yang’s greed step by step. Especially when Shava walked in through the luxurious door with excitement on his face. Unless someone pointed a gun at Gao Yang, there was no way he could give up. “Boss, I’m here! Cleaning out a president’s house, this is the craziest thing I’ve ever done in my life, damn, it’s exciting!” After speaking excitedly with a fierce expression, Shava saw Karima sitting next to Gao Yang. After a moment’s pause, he nodded slightly with a solemn face and said, “Sister-in-law! Hello.” Gao Yang’s mouth twitched, wanting to explain but not knowing what to say, he simply remained silent. However, Karima stood up with a full smile and said to Shava, “Hello, but I’m not his girlfriend, we’re just ordinary friends.” Shava was slightly embarrassed, but seeing Gao Yang’s nonchalant response, he immediately laughed and said, “Close enough, close enough.” After a hearty laugh, Shava excitedly said to Gao Yang, “Boss, is there anything good to move?” Gao Yang stood up, glanced at the dozen people following behind Shava, and said loudly, “Everything’s arranged?” Shava said confidently, “Absolutely no problem, rest assured. Cars, places to stash the stuff, everything’s well arranged. The cars are stolen, after transporting the stuff, just toss them into the river and let them find them.” Gao Yang took a deep breath, pointed at the ceiling, and said in a deep voice, “There are two rooms on the third floor filled with knives and guns; clear them out, don’t leave a single piece. Be careful when taking things, don’t scratch or bump them; they’re antiques, I want them for my collection.” Read full story at novelFire.net Shava cheerfully said, “Got it, understood. Brothers, head to the third floor and move the stuff, quick!” Taylor laughed, “I’m going too, uh, aren’t we taking care of Antonio?” Gao Yang said impatiently, “Forget about him, once we move the stuff we’re leaving, everyone’s here now, are we all going to wait for him to open the safe?” Shava didn’t personally go to move, his eyes were constantly scanning around, gleaming as he said, “Wow, truly grand! Now this is grandeur! How can I compete with this? Look, boss, so much good wine. Do you think we can have a drink here?” Gao Yang laughed, “Drink, just don’t drink too much, and don’t forget to take the bottles and glasses unless you want to leave fingerprints for someone to catch.” Shava laughed, “Understood, understood, come on, boss, let’s have a drink to your great haul. Ah! Boss! Look, the kind of whiskey you gave me! So our new president drinks this kind of whiskey too, it really is good stuff!” Gao Yang looked over, surprised to find that the whiskey from Jansen’s family was on the liquor cabinet. After staring blankly for a couple of seconds, Gao Yang smiled and said to Karima, “What taste! I’ve suddenly developed a great deal of goodwill towards Poloneshenko!” Karima shrugged, “That’s the second time you’ve said that, and it doesn’t stop you from cleaning out Poloneshenko’s house.” Shava loves good wine, after subconsciously licking his lips, he said with determination, “Take it! Boss, this trip was worth it, can I claim these wines?” Gao Yang spread his arms wide and said loudly, “They’re yours, can you treat me to a drink? My brother.” Shava burst into laughter and said, “No problem, I’ll treat you to a drink, choose whatever you want from my wine cabinet, hahaha.” At this moment, Karima suddenly said, “If you guys are interested in wine, I suggest checking out the underground wine cellar. Judging by the wine displayed here, it’s missing some wine. If this house doesn’t have an underground wine cellar, it would be very strange.” Shava looked at Gao Yang with some excitement and said, “Shall we take a look?” Gao Yang waved his hand and said solemnly, “Let’s take a look.” Shava pulled a pair of white gloves out of his pocket, putting them on with a grin: “Don’t leave fingerprints, right? So, where’s the wine cellar?” Karima gestured and whispered, “Follow me.” Karima, as if familiar with the place, found the entrance to a cellar almost without missing a step. As they descended the carpeted stairs, Shava sighed again, “Rich people really are something else, is this the wine cellar?” Karima glanced and shook her head, “No, that’s an underground cigar room, specifically for storing cigars.” Shava looked confused, “I smoke cigars often too, but this… needs a cellar?” Karima nodded, smiling, “Yes, cigars need fermentation too, and should be stored in humidified wooden boxes. Of course, if you have an underground cigar room to store and enjoy them, that’s even better.” Shava swallowed, nodding, “We’ll take this too, but let’s check out the bar first.” Next to the cigar room was the wine cellar. Seeing cabinets filled with all sorts of red wine, Shava scratched his head, looking dejected, “I suddenly feel so poor.” Gao Yang waved his hand with a laugh, “Just imagine it all belongs to you, as long as you can take it away.” Shava nodded vigorously, shouting, “That makes me feel a lot better, really, this feels great, but this is ours. You know I’m only interested in strong liquor. These wines are just for elevating my status, you know what I mean, haha!” Karima said seriously, “It’s best not to. Many of these wines were bought at auctions, if you serve them to guests it could cause problems, bottle with a label from the Burgundy region, 2005, a good year from that region, Romanee-Conti Grand Cru Red Wine, priced at 26,000 Euros.” Shava wiped his mouth, looking at Gao Yang, “And we can only secretly drink it ourselves, can’t show off with it, such a pity for such expensive wine, should we drink it now?” Karima smiled, “If you want to drink the most expensive, this bottle is the one, auctioned at Sotheby’s in 2013, well, I won’t say much more, just know it’s worth sixty thousand US Dollars.” Shava swallowed and said to Gao Yang, “Let’s drink it!” Saying this, Shava picked up the bottle, then frowned, “There aren’t any glasses here, should we go upstairs to drink?” Karima smiled, “You can have a drink in the cigar room and enjoy a cigar while you’re at it.” With Number Thirteen watching outside and Taylor handling things upstairs, they could leave once everything was sorted. Since Shava was in a good mood, Gao Yang didn’t mind going along, so he clapped his hands and laughed, “Good, that’s a good idea.” Karima led the way again, as Gao Yang and Shava sat in the cigar room. Karima picked suitable cigars for them, trimmed them, and after lighting them, smiled and picked up the wine, “It’s best to chill this a bit, there’s an ice bucket upstairs. Just wait, I’ll bring it soon.” After Karima left, Shava exhaled a puff of smoke, and with an expression of awe said, “Brother, this is life. This is what you call enjoyment. Thinking back, I used to think I’d reached the peak of pleasure, but now it just seems laughable.” Gao Yang also sighed, “You’ll have all this soon. Now you’re just learning how to live when you’re wealthy.” Shava laughed, “No way, I’m just a hick who fought my way up, and I’m very clear about it. I’m not afraid of dying, but I want to enjoy life as much as I can before I do. But now seeing this, even money can’t buy the best, like your woman. I could never find someone like your sister-in-law, it’s obvious, can’t compare, there’s no one this good in Kiev.” Gao Yang curled his lips, “She’s not my woman; she’s my friend’s sister, um, she’s also my friend. I have a girlfriend, she’s just an ordinary friend.” Shava scoffed, “Yeah, right. Seeing the way she looks at you, you’re everything in her eyes. You still have the nerve to say she’s not your woman?” Gao Yang shook his head, “Really, she’s not. I don’t plan on complicating things with anyone besides my girlfriend. I love my girlfriend a lot, and as for what you said, um, this girl has had a tough life. She probably does have feelings for me, but unfortunately, there’s nothing possible between us, which has troubled me for a long time.” Shava dismissively said to Gao Yang, “Brother, what are you thinking? Guys like us don’t think about tomorrow. Who knows when we might be taken out? And you’re talking to me about feelings? People like us usually have many women around. If you like your girlfriend, treat her well. It doesn’t stop you from finding other women. Don’t blame me for being blunt, but how often do people like us get a good ending? Aren’t you tired of worrying about this or that? What if one day you’re taken out, wouldn’t you regret it on your deathbed?” Gao Yang shook his head, sighing, “You’re a gang leader, I’m a mercenary. You always have a bunch of women around, but I don’t need that. If I can’t give a girl a future, then it’s best to keep a certain distance. Forget it, talking to you about this is useless. Let’s change the subject.” At that moment, Antonio’s voice came angrily through Gao Yang’s earpiece, “What are you guys doing? Moving house? Why so noisy? Tell them to quiet down! I’m almost cracking the safe, nearly there, don’t let them make a racket, just need them quiet for five minutes!” (To be continued.
