Gao Yang only stayed in the hospital for a few hours, met Lucy and the child, and then hurriedly instructed Taylor before leaving. Gao Yang wanted to stay longer, but couldn’t, because he was really about to get overwhelmed. Previously, Morgan was like a frequent flyer, spending at least a quarter of his time flying around. Now, Gao Yang feels he’s about to follow in Morgan’s footsteps. There are just too many things to handle. Gao Yang’s principle now is to prioritize life-threatening issues first, and everything else, whether it’s about making money or clearing his identity, can be set aside. Actually, Gao Yang has no choice but to set them aside. With a bomb hanging over his head, he can’t worry about anything else. Considering the urgent matters at hand, the most pressing is to find Krulney—alive or dead. No matter where Krulney is, he must know his whereabouts and determine how much critical information he leaked to Saudi Arabia. The second urgent issue is the reputation crisis that Gao Yang is facing. He can’t just walk away from the growing event in New York and the entire America. Though he’s really busy, he must guide the public’s attention to where he wants it. If everything is ignored, the result could be disastrous. When the public’s extreme curiosity ignites, whether with good intentions or malicious ones, this force could be frightening. Gao Yang must guide it. The third major affair is Djo Malthael. Now, it is no longer a war between Grand Ivan and Djo; it’s a war between Gao Yang and Djo. Since hostility has reached a boiling point, Djo Malthael must die. The latest_epɪ_sodes are on_the 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭⟡𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘦⟡𝘯𝘦𝘵 The fourth major affair is how to fulfill the contract with the clean-up operations. Gao Yang isn’t trying to make money, but from any angle, cooperation with the clean-up operations must not go wrong. The issue of Satan Mercenary Corps cleaning up falls fifth in priority. Although it’s important because it relates to Satan’s future fate, this matter is highly maneuverable and relatively easy to address. As for other miscellaneous things, regardless of importance, they have to be pushed back. Gao Yang seriously considered that while Krulney’s issue is urgent and critical, he can’t do anything about it. There’s no choice but to wait for an opportunity, wait for intelligence. Resolving Djo Malthael is similarly not something that can be rushed, because knowing his whereabouts comes first. After careful consideration, Gao Yang decided to tackle solvable issues first, addressing the aftermath of unintentionally becoming a hero, then immediately going to Ukraine. Along with providing the clean-up operations with weapons, he could simultaneously execute tasks to clear Satan’s identity. Having set the order, he of course handled matters sequentially. After getting off the plane, Gao Yang’s first task was to call Justin. He spent a significant amount to locate Krulney’s whereabouts. Regardless of whether the issue can be resolved now, he must at least know the progress. Justin quickly answered the call and immediately said, "Ram, I tried to call you but couldn’t get through. Listen to me, I haven’t found Krulney’s whereabouts, no news at all. But I’ve obtained some very important, well, it should be very important intelligence for you." Gao Yang promptly said, "Speak!" Justin said in a serious tone, "In the process of searching for Krulney, my informants discovered something—Iron Madonna has close contact with Saudi Arabia. Of course, you’re aware of this, but what you don’t know is the reason for their contact. How should I put it? The collaboration between Iron Madonna and Saudi Arabia is complicated and quite deep. To put it bluntly, a large sum was paid by Saudi Arabia. Now, Iron Madonna can be said to be a mercenary group serving Saudi Arabia exclusively, solving all matters for them." Gao Yang whispered, "What does this have to do with me?" "Iron Madonna recruited many people and started extensive training because they seek revenge. Prince Suharitan’s death benefited many in Saudi Arabia, but Saudi Arabia’s reputation cannot be tarnished, so Iron Madonna is a task force. Additionally, Iron Madonna aims to avenge their heavy casualties in Ukraine. Currently, these two revenge targets are Angels. Moreover, Iron Madonna is training a batch of forces for the Saudi official government, and if I’m not mistaken, it’s IS." Gao Yang sighed and angrily said, "They’re really deep into collaboration." "There’s no choice; Saudi has money, and Iron Madonna wants to earn it. Plus, Iron Madonna can also vent while earning money, why not?" Gao Yang took a deep breath and softly said, "Okay, I know, but now I just want to know Krulney’s whereabouts. Is there really no information whatsoever?" Justin urgently said, "Wait, there’s more Iron Madonna news that’s yet to be disclosed. Do you know what the biggest find is? While searching for Krulney, my informant captured photos of Hydra. Although it’s only half a face, it’s without a doubt the clearest image record of Hydra." Hydra is Iron Madonna’s current leader, quite a legendary figure, just like Gao Yang. Hydra also extremely values hiding his identity, so the world knows the nickname Hydra but not who he actually is or what he looks like. Gao Yang is eager to eliminate Iron Madonna quickly. Although Iron Madonna’s threat is not immediately pressing, knowing what the extremely mysterious Hydra looks like is considerably advantageous. At least if one day they clash with Iron Madonna again, Gao Yang can know who Iron Madonna’s leader is, instead of being unable to confirm whether Hydra is dead. Gao Yang immediately said, "Give me the photo, as compensation for the delayed information on Krulney." Having Hydra’s photo is definitely a rare commodity for Justin, and there’s no way he’d give it to Gao Yang for free. Moreover, he knows Gao Yang is one of those eager to eliminate Hydra. So, after a bit of bargaining, Gao Yang obtained Hydra’s photo at the cost of three million dollars. Upon obtaining the photo, Gao Yang’s first reaction wasn’t to look at it, but to immediately call Nate Schumacher. Despite willingly taking the fall for Angels, now that Iron Madonna really plans to retaliate, Gao Yang and Satan, as the masterminds, can’t just stand by and watch. For Gao Yang, Russia is merely a scapegoat. No matter how much burden it’s taking and how severe the consequences, he won’t care. But Angels are different. Although Angels fear nothing, they voluntarily took the blame to bear risks for Satan, and that’s friendship. So, for Russia, who also bore the blame for Satan, they’re a passerby, but Angels are good friends, and must be dealt with differently.
