Chapter 2683 - 2657: Eliminating Hidden Dangers

Why did Gao Yang come? Because when Glolov said over the phone that he wasn’t mentally prepared yet, Gao Yang knew he had to come.

Some of Satan’s group really want to retire, but most don’t want to say goodbye to their mercenary life at all. The power of habit is strong, and suddenly having to say goodbye to a familiar lifestyle and adapt to a completely new and relatively mundane life is not something everyone can immediately accept.

Understand one thing, those who can become mercenaries are definitely not people who love peace. If they liked a peaceful life, they wouldn’t be mercenaries at all.

So, Gao Yang felt he had to come to Yemen, personally bring this group back, so he picked up Eileen, knowing that she’d definitely walk on the runway of New York Fashion Week, and then immediately boarded the same plane to Yemen without any delay.

"Folks, do you want to say goodbye to the enemy?"

Gao Yang sat down, took the glass of vodka just poured for him, and then smiled as he asked his question.

Glolov gave a wry smile, but didn’t know how best to respond.

Gao Yang raised his glass, smiled at everyone, and said, "Drink."

In the silence, everyone raised their glasses for a sip.

After setting down the glass, Gao Yang picked up a washed tomato, took a bite, nodded, and said, "The tomatoes here are delicious—they may be small, but they’re flavorful and sweet. New York’s tomatoes aren’t as good, but folks, when we drink in New York, we won’t be eating this. We’ll eat the best steak, drink the best wine."

Glolov murmured, "I don’t like steak, you know that."

Gao Yang shrugged and said, "Sorry, you surely need to go home, and I can’t help it."

Glolov could only smile wryly, and Gao Yang looked at those present, also smiling wryly, "To be honest, I know the retirement decision was made hastily, and you might not be mentally prepared yet, but when it’s time to retire, you have to retire. We have money; we’re very wealthy! Our company is established and running well. Even if you don’t go to the company to help me, you can’t stay here distracting me. Guys, when you’re fighting here, I can’t concentrate on handling the company’s crap."

Yuri suddenly said, "I just joined Satan, didn’t think about retiring so soon... well, actually I’ve started liking being a mercenary now..."

Gao Yang looked at Yuri and asked, "How much money do you have now?"

Yuri rubbed his head and softly said, "I have about three million dollars in savings."

Gao Yang laughed, "You should be the poorest one. Peter, how much do you have?"

"I have about five million."

Gao Yang extended his hands, "Even the poorest of you have three million dollars, what are you still thinking? Is it not enough to spend? Yuri, you don’t have shares in Solar System Company, but that’s okay; take a position in the company. I’ll offer you a yearly salary of a million dollars—not for anything else, just because you’re a member of Satan, you’re trustworthy."

Yuri smiled wryly, "You really are a good boss, following you means not having to worry about the rest of my life."

Gao Yang waved and said, "Saying these things means nothing. What are we? Once you join Satan, it’s not just brotherhood. We can only rely on each other; besides you, who else can I trust? If it came down to desperate times, who else but you could I turn to?"

Sighing, Gao Yang said seriously, "No matter what you became mercenaries for, there must be a moment of exiting. I’m your boss. I led you into battle and must lead you out, and I also have the responsibility of taking you away. Guys, we’re wealthy now, so when the biggest reason for being a mercenary no longer exists, we must leave, whether you want to or not."

Glolov suddenly asked, "How’s Eileen?"

"Eileen is doing great. She’s earned the extreme favor of Karl Lagerfeld. Karl Lagerfeld decided to heavily promote Eileen. She might not become a professional model, but she’ll definitely shine brilliantly at this New York Fashion Week."

Cui Bo asked curiously, "Who is Karl Lagerfeld?"

"Fashion director of Chanel, though even if I told you, you wouldn’t understand. We’re in completely different worlds from the fashion circle. You just need to know he’s a super big shot in fashion."

"And what about New York Fashion Week?"

"Oh, one of the four major fashion shows in the world, starting in September. There’s about a month left, and Eileen still needs training. Karl Lagerfeld will personally train her. Eileen is very lucky."

Glolov asked, "What about Frey?"

"Frey’s issue is slightly troublesome, though it’s not really troublesome, just needs some waiting. Texas Rangers are unwilling to guarantee him a starting position. New York Yankees want to use this point to entice Frey to directly join the Yankees. But it’s just a small problem; once Frey goes to Texas to showcase his pitching, there’ll be no problem at all. However, the Yankees’ coach advised Frey to train a bit more."

Rafael was extremely surprised and said incredulously, "Why? Does Frey need to train?"

Gao Yang laughed, "Baseball isn’t just about pitching. Baseball is also complex, and although Frey is a super pitcher, his batting skills are too weak, and in the National League of Major League Baseball, pitchers are required to be batters too, as well as having base running skills. So, while Frey is really skilled at pitching, if he wants to play and become a superstar, he definitely needs comprehensive training. He’s got a lot to learn, and New York Yankees are willing to send coaches for his special training."

Albert nodded, "Exactly, baseball isn’t that simple. He definitely needs practice. How long?"

Gao Yang said, "About three to six months, most likely a three-month crash course to start playing, and then train while competing."

Glolov smiled and said, "That’s good. All are doing well."

Gao Yang said, "Alright, why are you asking me here? You’ll see everything once you’re in New York. Someone’s investigating Little Donnie, we’re reversing the investigation. Originally planned for you to go home separately, but before this is resolved, it’s better we stay together. So everyone heads to America. Folks, the plane is ready; pack up, and we’re leaving today."

Glolov said blankly, "Leaving now?"

Gao Yang very firmly said, "Yes, leave now, and never return to the battlefield. No farewell ceremony, no goodbye battle. I’m the boss, so I say, and that’s final. Now, get moving. Don’t be too drunk to catch the plane. If you want to drink, do it in New York where you can drink as much as you like, party for three days—my treat!"
