Chapter 1649: Chapter 1628: Returning to the Fray Gao Yang has stopped thinking about how to save Krulney, of course, there’s no need to think about killing him to silence him either. If Krulney has already been captured by the Shah people, it’s too late to do anything now. Yet, Gao Yang can’t just wash his hands off everything, because the saddest truth is he doesn’t even know if Krulney has been caught. What if there’s even a one-in-ten-thousand chance that Krulney hasn’t been captured and is merely in hiding? Gao Yang feels this situation is unbearably sickening. Satan is now near fully wounded; the number of usable personnel, rather, the number of people who can still move, is just a handful. Yet the number of urgent matters is overwhelming, and concerning Krulney, the most suitable people, that would be Yake and Number Thirteen, are unable to move at all. Gao Yang is quite adept at fighting, but asking him to handle matters akin to solving mysteries is out of his league. After all, he’s not a god who can do everything and knows everything. Ignoring Krulney surely won’t work, but dealing with it without knowing what to do has given Gao Yang a real headache. After pondering for a long time alone, Gao Yang eventually picked up the phone, first calling Number Thirteen, then Yake, hoping these two professionals would provide their insights on the matter. Yake and Number Thirteen gave a very consistent answer: Krulney must be saved if he has been captured. If Krulney hasn’t been captured, he must be found before the Shah people find him, and once found, must be killed immediately for safety. As for determining whether Krulney has fallen into the Shah’s hands, it’s actually simple. Just observe the Shah’s reaction. If the Shah starts searching all over the world for the whereabouts of the Satan Mercenary Corps, then it’s needless to say, everything has been exposed, and it would be better to start planning the retreat. The experts provided an answer, but the problem is that the answer is unreliable. Yake and Number Thirteen’s words were already clear to Gao Yang; what he wanted was a specific course of action. However, unfortunately, Yake and Number Thirteen were also at a loss; in the current situation, even a god would have no solution. Any change would require new intelligence to emerge. In other words, all Gao Yang can do now is to keep an eye on what the Shah is doing, but whom he should keep an eye on remains an issue… Prince Suharitan is dead. The power vacuum he left behind naturally needs someone to fill it. So, who will investigate Prince Suharitan’s death? Saudi Arabia will definitely investigate; they will use the strength of the entire country to do so. But how much strength Saudi Arabia will put into the investigation is uncertain because a lot can be inferred from Suharitan’s death, especially since Krulney, the plotter, pinned the blame on certain domestic individuals within Shah. Therefore, the attitude towards Suharitan’s death within Shah is not unanimous. It’s unclear who will exert effort in investigating, which department will investigate, or who might spend money on their own investigation. So the most frustrating part is that one can’t merely focus on the seemingly responsible Intelligence Bureau in Shah but must also pay attention to all potential forces. Gao Yang feels he can’t handle this matter; it’s simply not something one person or a few people can do. At this point, besides Justin, he has no one else to turn to. Dialing Justin’s number, Gao Yang sighed before speaking helplessly, “Buddy, business has come knocking, help me investigate some matters. Firstly, I want to know where Krulney is. Here’s a tip: you can help check if Krulney has fallen into the hands of the Shah people. Then, help me investigate whether Shah has any plans targeting Satan. Um, I want to know any potential matters regarding Satan from the Shah side.” Justin cleared his throat and then softly said, “Buddy, your intelligence scope is too broad. Can you narrow down the target a bit? I can help find Krulney’s whereabouts, but as for Shah and Satan’s connection, what do you want me to investigate? Which department should I check? Or the attitude of which prince towards Satan? You can’t expect me to check whether every single citizen in Shah has heard the name Satan, right?” Gao Yang sighed, speaking softly, “Buddy, here’s the thing. Krulney has gone missing, his wife called me, you know he and I have done some things together. I worry about Krulney falling into the hands of the Shah people, um, I don’t need to explain these things to you, saying this much, you should know what to investigate and how to do it, right?” Justin clicked his tongue and then helplessly said, “Ram, let me tell you one thing, Satan isn’t the most formidable mercenary group. You have only a few people, but Satan is definitely the most capable of causing trouble among mercenary groups I know, bar none. Sometimes I’m amazed. Don’t you realize, with your tiny mercenary group, just how many major incidents you’ve stirred? Haha, Ram, under your leadership, Satan is the most influential mercenary group in these decades. Think about it, you’ve already turned up quite a storm in this world. I’d say, you are definitely the most troublesome mercenary group in recent years.” Gao Yang chuckled bitterly, speaking softly, “What you’re amazed by is exactly my anguish because I really don’t want to die. Don’t you think those who cause more trouble die quicker?” Justin laughed, “Indeed, the bigger the trouble, the quicker the death. Um, I roughly estimated the required expenses: starting at ten million, at least ten million, with no upper limit. If there’s a need for additional costs, I’ll inform you ahead of time.” Gao Yang sighed, speaking softly, “Your business really comes faster than stealing, how’s it worth ten million? And that’s only the damned starting price!” Justin spoke softly, “Very simple. What I need to investigate is Shah. The most troublesome part is that I need to investigate several potential suspects. You have too many possibilities in what you want to check, and the manpower and effort I have to invest are really far greater than you imagine, much greater!” Gao Yang said helplessly, “I get it, I get it. I’ll immediately pay you the money starting at ten million. Besides, are there any suitable tasks for Satan you can recommend to me?” Justin was extremely surprised and said, “What? You want to take on tasks? Did I hear that right?” “I’m very serious. Just tell me if there are any suitable tasks available, preferably ones with low risk and high commission. Of course, if the risk is minimal, a lower commission would be acceptable.” Justin expressed great surprise, saying, “What are you trying to do? You know now Satan’s worth makes most people hesitate to hire you. Are you going back to accepting small jobs?” Gao Yang responded impatiently, “Why are you asking so much? In short, the task invites Little Donnie receives now are too dangerous, and the commission is not high enough. These days people have gotten used to treating mercenaries like cannon fodder. F**k! Each one just wants to spend little money to accomplish big tasks; it’s ridiculous. I’d rather accept low-risk, low-price tasks than take on high-risk tasks that don’t match our status. That’s the deal. If you have tasks there, remember to recommend a few to me. That’s it for now, going to hang up.” Chapters fırst released on 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩⚫𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢⚫𝔫𝔢𝔱
