Mercenary’s War

Chapter 2177 - 2154: Double-Edged Sword

Calmly hanging up the phone, Gao Yang looked at Eileen beside him and said, "Justin."

Eileen nodded and said, "I know."

After pausing, Eileen exhaled deeply and sighed, "He has finally emerged."

Gao Yang shook his hand, looking serious, and said, "Justin’s emergence is crucial. We need to notify everyone of this situation and slightly change our plan. I will have Justin come directly to Rome. He will take the fastest plane from Iceland to Rome. Now, our goal is to protect Justin."

Eileen whispered, "I think you should inform Grand Ivan first about this situation."

Gao Yang smiled and said, "Of course, this is a turning point."

After speaking, Gao Yang immediately picked up the phone and dialed Grand Ivan. Once Grand Ivan answered, he whispered, "Justin has appeared. He was hiding in Iceland, and now he will come to Rome to meet me."

Grand Ivan said with surprise, "He has emerged? Do you think he is related to this matter?"

Gao Yang sighed, "Regardless if he’s connected or not, I don’t want to pursue it because we need him alive and leading the Cicero Family. What do you think?"

Grand Ivan chuckled and said, "Yes, completely wiping out the Cicero Family is nearly impossible. As time goes on, the situation becomes difficult once the Cicero Family transitions from peace to a state of war. If we turn our war with the Cicero Family into their internal conflict, it’s advantageous. However, Justin’s emergence disrupts the delicate situation we have now. Are you prepared?"

Gao Yang said earnestly, "This is what I think: Let Justin arrive secretly in Rome, and conceal his emergence until the time is ripe to bring him to the forefront. We must keep this absolutely confidential right now, or we and Ivan could be finished."

Grand Ivan sighed, "Yes, Justin is a double-edged sword. Used well, the benefits are immense, but misused, you and I will face an uncontrollable situation."

Gao Yang whispered, "My plan is this: Let Ivan continue attacking the Cicero Family, while I now transition to secret operations. The primary target is to keep Justin safe. He is familiar with the Cicero Family’s internal secrets. After we help him clear all obstacles to ascend, we will quickly and secretly withdraw. Grand Ivan, Justin truly is a double-edged sword, but only Justin can be completely controlled by us."

Grand Ivan whispered, "Never fantasize about controlling the Head of the Cicero Family. That idea is very dangerous."

Gao Yang decisively said, "Okay, then abandon the thought of controlling him. Actually, I did not expect to control Justin as a puppet, but Justin is the only one who can be our friend. The thought of controlling him is unrealistic, but being friends or even allies with Justin poses no issue. Do you agree?"

Grand Ivan laughed, "After declaring war on the Cicero Family, we became enemies in the intelligence world. It’s dangerous, but if Justin can become the leader of the Cicero Family, the crisis turns into an opportunity. All right, I agree to fully support Justin. We can deploy maximum resources to assist him. If you need anything, let me know."

Gao Yang’s heart was calm as he said, "Okay, then it’s settled. Now I have to arrange things; Justin’s situation is very dangerous. He will be Mario’s target at all costs. During this period, let’s have Ivan take larger and more actions to attract Mario’s attention, so I can operate more conveniently."

Grand Ivan confidently said, "Rest assured, I’ll contact Ivan to definitely keep Mario busy, but Gao, you must ensure the timing is quick, and it must not drag on too long. The situation can change at any time, and once it gets unfavorable, you must leave Italy promptly. Also, can Justin change locations? Rome, after all, is the Cicero Family’s stronghold, and it’s too dangerous for you both to move with Justin in Rome."

Gao Yang whispered, "Rome is indeed dangerous, but precisely because Rome is the stronghold of the Cicero Family, Justin needs to operate here. Only this way can he quickly garner support to qualify for ascension. Taking on some risk is worth it."

After hanging up the phone, Gao Yang pondered for a moment and picked up the walkie-talkie, saying, "Brothers, there has been a change in plans. Now, we will not seek targets to attack. The primary task is to stay hidden in Rome and prepare to support Justin in regaining the position of Head of the Cicero Family."

Glolov was greatly surprised on the walkie-talkie and said, "Justin is back?"

"Yes."

"Okay, got it. Where are we going now?"

Gao Yang thought for a moment and said, "Find a foothold in Rome City. These matters are more suited for Numbers Thirteen and Black Demon. I’ll contact and assemble them back."

Gao Yang first called Number Thirteen. After Number Thirteen connected, he said blandly, "What’s up?"

"How are things going on your end?"

Number Thirteen spoke in a flat tone, "Killed Mario’s son-in-law and grandson, captured his daughter alive. Now we are thinking about how to handle her. I’m considering whether to chop her into eight pieces and send them to Mario’s house or to publicize the process online."

Gao Yang frowned and said, "Publicizing it online is too malicious; it’s too influential, and if it gets out of control it will be troublesome. Just chop her up and send her back to Mario."

"Should we record the process and send it to Mario as well?"

"That would be acceptable."

"Alright, anything else you need from your call?"

"Situations have changed; Justin has emerged, and now we need to carry out some secret operations in Rome. You need to come back."

Number Thirteen thought for a moment and replied, "Black Demon can handle these matters well; I think I should continue to press Mario harder, to keep faith in Satan."

Gao Yang pondered for a moment and said, "Alright, having Black Demon is already enough. Continue doing your work, but make sure to maintain contact. That’s all."

After hanging up the call with Number Thirteen, Gao Yang dialed Yarebin. Once Yarebin connected, Gao Yang respectfully said, "Teacher, there are some matters I need to consult with you."

Yarebin has been in Rome all along. Due to his health condition, he was not suitable for the strenuous battles with Satan, so he remained in Rome. After listening to Gao Yang’s briefing on the recent events, Yarebin, who seldom praised Gao Yang, surprisingly said, "Very good, very well done, your choice is very correct. I am very pleased to see you have matured a lot compared to before."

After the rare praise, Yarebin slowly said, "Hiding in Rome is a very simple matter. Come to me; let Tarta and Vasily come back as well. Soon, this matter can be settled."
