After going around in a big circle and experiencing a heart-pounding moment, it was all just to ask Gao Yang if he would be willing to upgrade his client status with the Cleaner. This means that the key issue lies in the significance of this so-called S-level client. Gao Yang was silent for a moment, then said in a low voice, "Explain." Murphy said solemnly, "S-level clients have privileges, but they also have responsibilities. We currently need Grand Ivan to help solve some problems, but he suddenly disappeared. If it wasn’t necessary, or if there wasn’t an urgent need, we usually wouldn’t take such action against an S-level client." After a brief explanation, Murphy spoke in a low voice, "Our highest-level clients aren’t level one but S-level. An S-level client needs to pay the Cleaner 50 million dollars each year. If there is any task, the Cleaner charges as usual. In return, if the task assigned by an S-level client can be accomplished by the Cleaner, we must do our best to complete it and will not refuse." Gao Yang shrugged, "Sounds like there are no special benefits." Murphy smiled, "That’s because you haven’t discovered the true potential of the Cleaner yet. When your status increases, you will naturally appreciate the value of the Cleaner’s promise." Gao Yang nodded, "That’s the case. Please continue." Murphy crossed his hands and said with a serious face, "The cooperation between the Cleaner and Grand Ivan has always been excellent, but now that something has happened to Grand Ivan, we believe he cannot oppose America, so we must quickly find a replacement for him, and you are the only suitable candidate." Gao Yang pressed his lips and said in a low voice, "You need arms." Murphy nodded, "Yes, arms, a large quantity of arms." Gao Yang frowned, "Why must it be Grand Ivan? Any major arms dealer would do, Djo Malthael, I believe as long as you pay, he can definitely meet the Cleaner’s demands. Oh, or are you trying to get arms without paying?" Murphy shook his head and laughed, "What are you thinking? As an S-level client, when we need you to pay for something, we will of course pay you when we need you to do something. Also, let me explain why not work with the likes of Djo Malthael. Firstly, Djo is shadowed by the U.S. Government, and just based on that, we cannot cooperate with him. Then, we need a large quantity of arms that small arms dealers usually cannot satisfy, and if we don’t want to buy from the Russian Government, then we can only rely on Grand Ivan." Gao Yang pointed to himself and said in a low voice, "Why me?" Murphy smiled slightly and spread his hands, "Based on the intelligence we have, you have taken over Grand Ivan’s main arms supply base, channels, and most of the resources he left behind. To be precise, you can quickly control the resources he left behind, even if you haven’t yet. For instance, Europe is now in your hands, while the Americas and Asia could also be said to be under your control. If you’re willing, you could relatively easily take over Ivan and Uriyangko’s territories. Of course, your control over Europe is already enough for us." In Grand Ivan’s empire, Gao Yang indeed calls the shots in Europe now. After pondering for a while, Gao Yang looked up and said, "What do you need?" Murphy raised a finger and said in a low voice, "1,000,000 AK47 rifles, 100,000 RPG-7 rocket launchers." Seeing Murphy pause, Gao Yang frowned and said, "That’s not considered a big business, is it?" Murphy laughed softly and said in a low voice, "Ten billion rounds of 7.62mm intermediate ammunition, two complete production lines, 1,000,000 RPG rockets, two production lines, 1,000 infantry armored vehicles with matching parts, either tracked or wheeled, but they must be old-fashioned so that no electronic equipment is needed for crucial maneuvering and weapon systems to function properly. Of course, there’s also matching ammunition, 1,000 towable artillery pieces, model is irrelevant but the fewer the better, no caliber restrictions but the larger the better. Each caliber of artillery must be accompanied by an ammunition production line."

Murphy shrugged, "This is just the first list. There may be additions later on, and all of this must be delivered within a year. You control Grand Ivan’s Europe, Russia, Ukraine, Belarus. Those old-style equipment are lying in warehouses. If we don’t want to deal with the official governments of these countries, apart from Grand Ivan, it’s just you now who can figure it out. As for the production lines, they’re even more troublesome, but we believe you can manage." Gao Yang didn’t ask Murphy what the Cleaner needed with these weapons, although he was extremely curious, knowing full well that asking would be in vain since Murphy wouldn’t tell. And besides, you shouldn’t ask why someone needs so many weapons in the first place. Gao Yang laughed bitterly, "F**k, your appetite is too big, but I’m really not as capable as you think." Murphy said in a deep voice, "This is just a business. You become an S-level client, and we start doing this business. You can reject it or accept it, everything is your choice. As I said, the threat I made to you just now was only a test. If you refuse, we will find another way, but we won’t coerce you or force you." Gao Yang scratched his head and said in a low voice, "I think if Grand Ivan were here, he wouldn’t refuse this business, would he?" Murphy said in a low voice, "Now I just want to know if you are willing to do this business." Gao Yang, troubled, said, "Why must I replace Grand Ivan’s position? Yes, now I can indeed do some business in place of him, solve some problems, and make some decisions for him. But really, I’m not in contact with him, and I don’t want to replace his position, nor do I want to seize his empire. Why do none of you believe that? Why do all of you think I should and will take over Grand Ivan’s arms empire?" Murphy looked surprised and said, "I thought you’d like to accept it. Really, I can’t imagine anyone giving up such a richly rewarding fruit when it’s so close at hand." Gao Yang waved his hand and said, "I just don’t want to, so if I must replace Grand Ivan to talk about this, then I’ll tell you right now, I’m not doing it." Murphy laughed, and then with a relaxed expression, he said, "I understand. If you don’t want to seize Grand Ivan’s empire or want to eliminate him and replace him, the issue is easy to solve. Nothing changes in Grand Ivan’s dealings with the Cleaner, except you become the S-level client, completing our transaction on behalf of Grand Ivan. As for matters between you and Grand Ivan, you can handle them yourselves."
