Mercenary’s War

Chapter 2192 - 2169: Assassination Special

Gao Yang and his group first returned to their base, and then everyone gradually came back. If it weren’t for the encounter with the Southeast Asian gang, the mission to assassinate Angelo would have been silent throughout, making it a perfect assassination attempt.

However, after an actually unnecessary battle with those Southeast Asians, the assassination was still considered successful because Angelo was certainly going to die.

Rafael and Vasily returned together, and as soon as Rafael entered the door, Gao Yang couldn’t wait and said, "Quick, tell me how you did it."

Rafael made a gesture with his hand, and said excitedly, "I was warming up at the court, Angelo hadn’t arrived yet, then Vasily suddenly appeared before me. He gave me a small thing, about this big, then said just find a chance to poke Angelo with it, be careful not to stab yourself or you’ll be doomed, then he left."

Vasily took out a little object wrapped in rubber, only one centimeter long, about four millimeters thick, a cylindrical shape. He pinched the little thing and said, "There’s a poison needle hidden in here, the rubber bullet is hollow inside, can be used as a projectile carrier for launching, also serves as the protection for the needle. Just with a knock or a slight squeeze, the needle can extend up to three millimeters. Getting pricked will cause death in half an hour to an hour, there’s no cure."

After speaking, Vasily pulled out a cylindrical unit, no longer than ten centimeters, twisted and inserted the rubber bullet inside, and smiled, "There’s a compressed gas cylinder inside here, can launch more than ten times, the range is within ten meters, of course, you can simply take out the bullet and swipe or poke it, the target wouldn’t even feel it, by the time he feels unwell and seeks medical attention, it’ll be too late. Naturally, the more movement, the faster he dies."

Gao Yang looked at Vasily and said, "Where did you get this thing?"

Vasily kept a straight face and said, "Got it from the KGB."

Gao Yang shrugged, it was not a surprising answer. He turned to Rafael and said, "Are you sure you hit him?"

Rafael nodded repeatedly and said, "Of course, of course! At the time, I was warming up, I couldn’t hold this thing in my hand, so I pretended to tie my shoelaces, and placed the poison needle within the tongue of my sneaker. Then Angelo arrived, we started to form teams and play. I initially wanted to be Angelo’s teammate, but he had a team formed with some friends, luckily the other side needed a defender, then I became a defender. Luck was even better because after just three minutes of play, Angelo got an attacking opportunity, caused a corner kick, I quickly pretended to tie my shoelaces and pulled out the poison needle, held it between my fingers, then pressed close against him, stabbed his back while contesting for the header, and to be sure, stabbed his waist again when landing, and randomly threw the poison needle on the grass.

Gao Yang spread his hands and said, "Just that?"

"Just that. Not only did I stab Angelo with a poison needle, but also disrupted his attack. I said I’m a pretty good defender."

Everyone laughed, and Gao Yang said, "Alright, without the encounter with those Southeast Asians, this would have been quite a tight assassination."

Peter pointed to Li Jinfang who was still receiving treatment and said, "I heard the opponents you encountered were very tough?"

Gao Yang immediately said, "More than tough, extremely tough. At first, they didn’t plan to use guns, just wanted to resolve us with fists and feet. Honestly, this gang may not be a match for you or Toad individually, but together, extremely difficult to deal with."

Andy He was suturing Li Jinfang’s wounds, Li Jinfang sat in a chair and shouted, "Two guys were using Muay Thai, but others weren’t. It seemed more like specialized short-blade combat techniques, very fast, hard to handle up close, like military combat skills, but not entirely. I was confused, never seen such combat skills."

Gao Yang looked at Justin and said, "Their leader claimed to be called Ruan Zhongyong, Vietnam Gang, a total of twelve Southeast Asians, plus a few blacks and whites, speaking English, do you know them?"

Justin pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Two guys who fight exceptionally well, Southeast Asians, claimed to be from the Vietnam Gang, I really know them. These people always had business dealings with Angelo, yes, they’re indeed from the Vietnam Gang, and they came from America."

Gao Yang laughed and said, "I thought they were mercenaries, but they’re really gangsters?"

Justin shook his head and said, "No, you can’t simply categorize these people as gangsters or mercenaries. They’ll accept anything, as long as it makes money they’ll do anything. They really don’t have battlefield adaptability, but they’re skilled in street fights. In America, they frequently clash with police and other gangs, also quite formidable. In Los Angeles, those Mexican gangs don’t dare to provoke them."

Gao Yang and Li Jinfang exchanged a glance and said, "Yes, indeed they aren’t battlefield style."

Li Jinfang waved his hand dismissively and said, "Just a bunch of reckless brutes, but they do fight pretty well."

Justin nodded and said, "That’s because all these people are top picks by the Vietnam Gang. You mentioned Ruan Zhongyong I don’t know, but you say two Thai guys who fight extremely well, I know them. One called John Sutie, the other Tila Wunta. One escaped to America from Thailand to fight illegal boxing, another... also did. Both have an illegal boxing background, always manipulated by people. After being sent to America for illegal boxing, did quite well later, and the Vietnam Gang snatched them from the Thai Gang, seems like this. I’m not very clear on the details."

After speaking, Justin waved his hand and said, "Now the Vietnam Gang in America has some business in the European Union, Angelo has ties with them, so the Vietnam Gang people came over, I think that’s it."

Gao Yang scoffed and said, "Angelo brought mixed gangsters to protect himself, too pathetic. Why compete with us like this?"

Justin shook his head and said, "No, you’re wrong. In the early years, the Vietnam Gang had quite a name, most gang members were retired from the South Vietnamese army, fierce, capable, reckless, cheap. Over the years, they’ve declined, that generation of Vietnamese aged and lost their edge. But hiring the Vietnam Gang is still a decent choice. Since Angelo needs a lot of manpower for protection, seeking Vietnam Gang with a cooperative relationship makes sense.’

Gao Yang said, "I see, well then I won’t despise Angelo too much. Anyway, he’s doomed. Now, let’s think about who’s worth targeting within Italy."
