Mercenary's War

Chapter 2432 - 2408: Avoidance Is Not the Solution

In the plan, human lives are just numbers, but in reality, when Gao Yang and the Houthis Armed Forces have become familiar, and under his leadership, lives are about to turn into numbers in the plan, Gao Yang really wavered.People always overestimate their endurance. Gao Yang always thought his blood had turned cold, that at least seeing death in war wouldn’t affect him much. But as the war drew closer day by day, Gao Yang found he was wrong.

The war in Yemen wasn’t caused by Satan; it was the big trend, and Satan couldn’t affect the big trend. At most, he could only make small adjustments to influence the big war in Yemen, but even small adjustments would affect many lives.

Now Gao Yang somewhat regretted personally bringing people to Yemen, and even more so regretted getting too close with the Houthis Armed Forces. He shouldn’t have led the Dagger Assault Team, even though he subconsciously tried hard to avoid too much contact with the Dagger Assault Team. Ultimately, a few months passed, and the Dagger Assault Team became a part he was familiar with.

Initially, to increase influence and enhance the power at hand, Gao Yang created the Dagger Assault Team. Now he regrets not handing back control of the Dagger Assault Team in time, not utterly separating Dagger from Satan, because when commanding the Dagger Assault Team to satisfy his unspeakable purposes, he was bound to feel ashamed and uncomfortable.

But now, it’s too late to say anything; the arrow is on the string and must be released.

Seeing Gao Yang’s calm face, Yarebin suddenly frowned, "You really feel very guilty!"

Gao Yang said in surprise, "I hid it so well, and you could still tell?"

Yarebin angrily said, "If I couldn’t see through people’s hearts, I would have died decades ago!"

Gao Yang just smiled bitterly, and Yarebin helplessly said, "You’re really not suitable for this line of work; your heart is too soft. You have too many emotions you shouldn’t have. You’re not firm enough, and not being firm enough will lead to trouble. You never sympathize with the enemy, but you sympathize with the tools you use, and that’s too foolish!"

Gao Yang said softly, "Teacher, people are ultimately people, not tools."

Yarebin had nothing more to say. He ultimately couldn’t completely change Gao Yang’s thoughts. It’s hard to make someone better, but it’s also quite difficult to make someone completely abandon their conscience and compassion. Yarebin had the means to turn Gao Yang into a cold tool but couldn’t and didn’t want to use them on Gao Yang.

"So what do you want to do?"

Listening to Yarebin’s question, Gao Yang said bitterly, "What else can I do but follow the plan?"

Yarebin sighed, "You can’t abandon thoughts you shouldn’t have, and the only one in pain will be yourself. Gao, I really don’t want you to end up hating yourself, despising and hating everything you’ve done. That would feel terrible."

Gao Yang spread his hands and said, "Maybe my blood will cool gradually, and my heart will harden. Anyway, I have to keep going now, so saying this doesn’t mean much. Haha, I originally came to discuss a lot with you, but now it’s turned into exploring my inner world."

After smiling brightly, Gao Yang said to Yarebin, "Teacher, there’s nothing left to do here. You should leave Yemen and go somewhere comfortable to soak up the sun."

Yarebin smiled, "This is my last chance. I mean, I’ve been idle for many years. That time was dull and trying, and now I finally have something to do. Are you asking me to idle in the sun like other old men?"

Gao Yang laughed, "Alright then, you can’t stay idle. So how about staying in Sana’a, controlling the overall situation for me? I’ll leave Liang Dong to cook for you; wouldn’t that be better?"

Yarebin shook his head, "There’s really nothing for me to do in Yemen. Why should I stay?"

"Then you..."

"I want to go to Riyadh."

"What!"

Gao Yang gaped and said in surprise, "Why are you going to Riyadh?"

Yarebin smiled, "Your company seems to be struggling to open the situation. How can that be? We’ve made all preparations here, but if we can’t get tasks, what’s the point of all we’ve done?"

Gao Yang frowned, "Abdul is doing well, really well. Our slow progress is because there are too many and strong competitors. What does that have to do with you going to Riyadh? Teacher, you actually don’t understand business."

"I don’t quite understand business, but I can take out all your competitors."

Looking at the dumbfounded Gao Yang, Yarebin leaned forward with a serious face, "I’m the Black Demon. What is the Black Demon? The best spy, the best agent, the best warrior, the best assassin, and the best negotiation expert. We are omnipotent. Why is Abdul progressing slowly? Because he has to do everything alone, lacking capable helpers to clear the obstacles."

Yarebin sat back and calmly said, "We can negotiate, assassinate, threaten, and entice over there. It’s just business; it’s no different from national confrontations."

Gao Yang exhaled and said, "But your health."

"My health is fine!"

Yarebin stated firmly and seriously, "I’ll leave Vasily and Tarta for you here. They’re inclined towards the action team, preferring combat over intelligence gathering. Hammer is bloodthirsty; I’ll leave him too. Three people can form a combat group, making it easier to use. Rostotsky will stay here to continue operating in the tribes. I’ll take the rest to Riyadh, you arrange for us to enter Riyadh as soon as possible, and once we’re there, you don’t have to worry about it."

Once Yarebin made a decision, it wouldn’t change. Doing dangerous and challenging things personally was Yarebin’s biggest enjoyment.

Gao Yang didn’t want to stop Yarebin. He said solemnly, "Okay, I’ll prepare your passports and flight immediately. Once in Riyadh, I don’t have to manage much. I’ll notify Abdul to follow all your instructions."

"No, I don’t understand business, nor do I want to manage it. Over there, Abdul will take the lead; I’m only responsible for the operations."

Gao Yang took out his phone, "I’ll first ask Abdul to prepare for your arrival. Do you have other things for me to handle?"

Yarebin hesitated a bit and said softly, "Gao, your personality really doesn’t suit your current work. If you can’t bear it, just leave. Now you just need to manipulate from behind the scenes; staying away from here might make you feel better."

Gao Yang laughed, "I’ll seriously consider your advice, but I still want to try accepting my identity as a war profiteer. Running away isn’t the solution; maybe, I’ll soon become a cold-blooded animal, haha."
