Mercenary’s War
Chapter 206 - 206 204 Restraint

206: Chapter 204 Restraint 206: Chapter 204 Restraint Regarding everything Little Donnie said, Gao Yang couldn’t confirm it; working with Little Donnie was risky, but he felt the risk was worth taking because he indeed needed an agent very much right now.

There were many, very complex details to discuss.

After both parties had asked about the general situations they each needed to know, they exchanged phone numbers, agreed on a time to meet again, and then Gao Yang immediately returned to the hotel.

By the time Gao Yang got back to the hotel, it was already dark.

Bob hadn’t managed to change his hotel room as he had said he would help with, so Gao Yang knocked on several rooms next to his and summoned the few people, who had been sleeping all afternoon, to his room.

After entering Gao Yang’s room, Cui Bo, with sleep-filled eyes, said, “Brother Yang is back, how did it go?

Will we have a full-time nanny from now on too?”

“Yes, we have our own agent now, but it’s not quite what we expected.

The one Morgan introduced didn’t think highly of us, but an agent I stumbled upon was like finding a treasure and insisted on working with us, so I agreed.

However, whether this agent can go the distance still needs observation, let’s try working together a couple of times before deciding.”

Yawning, Cui Bo said, “That’s great, do they have any jobs now?

I want to earn money quickly, sigh, money just burns a hole in my pocket, last night I blew over three hundred thousand US dollars, dammit, a few more nights like that and I’ll be broke.”

Gao Yang was shocked and shouted at Cui Bo in frustration, “Over three hundred thousand?

US dollars?

Have you lost your damn mind?

What did you guys do to spend so much money?”

Cui Bo muttered reluctantly, “It was my turn to pay last night, and the four of us together spent over three hundred thousand.

Hey, at first, we knew some restraint, but then as we drank more, we started daring to order the most expensive drinks, and wanted to call over any pretty girl we saw.

One thing led to another, and the expenses piled up.”

Li Jinfang’s face twitched a few times, clearly feeling guilty, and he said in a low voice, “Actually, it wasn’t just four people’s worth; I spent another three hundred thousand US dollars myself.”

Gao Yang felt like he was going to explode with anger.

After pointing back and forth on the faces of Li Jinfang and Cui Bo, he yelled, “Is this why you earn money?

To spend it on eating, drinking, and gambling?

This one time cost you hundreds of thousands.

There goes a house, just like that.

Do you think you’re rich?”

Embarrassed, Cui Bo smiled and said, “It won’t happen again, definitely not.

It’s just that I’d never seen such things, got excited and lost my head.”

Gao Yang retorted angrily, “Again?

There’ll be an again?

Try it just one more time, I dare you!

Damn it, I understand going out and having fun, we’re all men here, and I could tolerate a few thousand or even tens of thousands in one night, but you dare spend tens of thousands of US dollars all at once, which is millions in yuan!

Have you given any money to your families?

Now that you can afford to blow millions like this, do you think you’re entitled?”

Li Jinfang’s face turned pale as he said with a shaky voice, “Millions in yuan?

I, I really didn’t think about that.

Was that really millions of yuan gone in one night?”

Bob, also feeling very uncomfortable, said, “Sorry, Gao.

We went to a place meant for the rich, and I, as a rookie, didn’t understand the situation before taking them there.

That’s why the expenses were so high, but it won’t happen again, definitely not.”

Frey also timidly said, “Boss, it won’t happen again, really, it won’t, and I will pay back my share to them.”

With a sigh, Gao Yang said, “It’s not about the money.

You know I’m not stingy; if needed, I wouldn’t hesitate to spend even more without asking.

This is your private life, and I have no right to interfere, but you should reflect.

We earn our money with our lives, and if we waste it all on wanton living, then our lives are least valued.”

Looking disheartened, Li Jinfang said, “Don’t worry, Brother Yang, it absolutely won’t happen again.

Let’s not talk about the money.

I’ve just come to understand the meaning of ‘lust cuts deeper than a sword.’ My legs are still weak, I’d be done for if I got into a fight right now.”

Smiling, Cui Bo said, “Alright, alright, Brother Yang, stop giving me a hard time.

Don’t worry, it won’t ever happen again.

It’s all because Bob didn’t pick the right place, after all.

We definitely won’t be that extravagant in the future.

Spending a few thousand in one night is already pretty good.

Actually, those wines last night costing tens of thousands of US dollars a bottle didn’t even taste that good.

Bob, you’d better find a better place next time, alright?”

Bob quickly gestured OK and said, “Jacklan has experience; she chose the right place for us, very suitable.

Spending just ten thousand US dollars a night was already fantastic.

Gao, don’t worry, I’ll make sure to do my homework next time.”

After Bob finished speaking, Cui Bo quickly said, “Brother Yang, let bygones be bygones.

Surely, you didn’t call us together just to give us a scolding, did you?

Is there a new mission?”

Gao Yang said irritably, “That’s right, we might have a mission.

Little Donnie, our agent says there are a few missions suitable for us right now, and he’s going to confirm one.

If it’s quick, we might get news in the next day or two.

You guys can’t mess around these days; once we have a suitable mission, we’ll need to depart.

If you dare to be soft-shelled shrimp by that time, then don’t bother hanging out with me in the future.

Let’s just go our separate ways.”

What Gao Yang said was pretty harsh, but he was genuinely afraid that Cui Bo and Li Jinfang would lose themselves after getting some money.

In the mercenary circle, it is very common for those with a bit of money to rush to spend it all on food, drink, and gambling, and some even start taking drugs.

Gao Yang didn’t want to see his brothers turn into such living dead, so he had to speak harshly.

Frey’s face changed dramatically, and he exclaimed anxiously, “Boss, I guarantee it won’t happen again, definitely not.”

Li Jinfang and Cui Bo looked very uneasy too, especially Cui Bo, who said with a worried face, “Brother Yang, are you really that angry?

Alright, we won’t play around anymore, isn’t that enough?”

Gao Yang glared at Cui Bo and said, “I’m not saying you can’t have fun, just be moderate.

Think more about your families when you have nothing else to do.

Alright, back to business.

Today is December twenty-first, and Christmas is coming soon.

After Christmas, we need to be ready to leave at any time.

Start getting prepared.”

Cui Bo said with some concern, “Brother Yang, there’s a problem.

Our rifles won’t be ready for three months, and it hasn’t even been a month yet.

If we leave this early, we won’t have our guns.”

Gao Yang also looked worried and said, “I’m worrying about that too.

But right now, we still don’t know where we’re going.

Let’s wait and see what mission we can get.

If it’s urban combat, we won’t need our rifles.

If it’s possible to go, we go.

If we absolutely have to use sniper rifles, then I’d rather wait.

After getting used to good-quality guns, using those broken ones just doesn’t feel right.”

Bob shrugged his shoulders and said, “Maybe I can push Jack a bit, get him to speed up the process.”

Gao Yang and Cui Bo said in unison, “No, don’t rush it.

Quality work takes time; we can’t hurry.”

Making handguns, which aren’t too demanding on precision, is one thing, but for high-precision sniper rifles, it really does take time to produce quality work.

They absolutely couldn’t be rushed.

If in their haste they ruined the only barrel steel that Jack had, Gao Yang would be devastated.

The rifles couldn’t be finished in a short time, and worrying wouldn’t help.

Gao Yang preferred to wait rather than embark on a mission unprepared, just for the sake of it.

On the battlefield, you use what you have: there’s no room to be picky.

But before departing, every possible preparation should be made.

Even being overly fastidious was okay, since every item they used could mean the difference between life and death.

So Gao Yang wasn’t worried about the trouble or the expense.

After conveying the day’s results to Cui Bo and the others, Gao Yang sent them off to eat while he left the hotel alone.

He needed to visit Yelena’s house; he had made plans to have dinner there today and to also discuss the day’s matters with Glolov.

At Yelena’s home, Gao Yang received a warm welcome from Natalia and Yelena.

However, Glolov looked at Gao Yang with a strange expression.

But as soon as Gao Yang brought up the main issue, Glolov immediately became serious and discussed with him how they should cooperate with the agent.

After finishing the talk about the agent, Glolov was completely back to normal.

After all, he was quite familiar with Gao Yang and approved of his relationship with Yelena.

But seeing Gao Yang and Yelena be affectionate still made him uncomfortable, and it would be the same even in the future.

Seizing the moment while Natalia and Yelena were busy in the kitchen, Gao Yang lowered his voice and said, “I think it would be better for us to leave for Idaho after spending Christmas in New York.

No, after the New Year.

Natalia and Yelena haven’t gone anywhere else after coming to the United States.

Let’s just take it as a trip for the two of them and also a chance for us to get some training.

It’s tough to find a training site in New York, and most importantly, New York isn’t suitable for Rabbit and the others.”

Glolov agreed wholeheartedly, saying solemnly, “I don’t want to stay another day in this damned place of New York.

Going to Idaho is a good idea.

In fact, we could leave tomorrow.

We don’t need to bother Morgan; let’s just have the agent arrange it, and we can also see the agent’s capabilities.”

Gao Yang frowned and said, “That’s so soon?

Christmas is coming up; why not leave after Christmas?”

Glolov shrugged his shoulders, smiling and said, “Our family are all Eastern Orthodox believers, and for Eastern Orthodox, Christmas is on January seventh.

If we wait to leave after our Christmas, it would be a bit late.”

Gao Yang scratched his head, and said, “Well, I didn’t know Christmas has two dates, but I’ve made plans to welcome the New Year in Times Square with Yelena.

So, you guys can leave first, and Yelena and I will join you after the New Year.”
