Mercenary’s War

Chapter 2195 - 2171: A Little Excited

Gao Yang watched the TV, while Justin remained silent beside him.

Mario’s words on the TV were all nonsense, not a word worth hearing. After watching the TV for a moment, Gao Yang suddenly said, "Television is a great thing. You can easily get a lot of free intelligence from it, and you can broadcast any information you want, whether true or false."

Justin replied softly, "That’s why I often watch TV, whenever I have time."

Gao Yang nodded and said, "This time is very subtle. How bad is Mario’s situation to make him so eager to appear in public? Normally, he should have shown himself after turning the tide, and choosing his own home for an interview, that’s quite meaningful."

Justin pointed at the TV and said, "Or he wants to turn the tide. This is his home, but is this really a live broadcast? He could have recorded this piece of news anytime and aired it whenever he wanted. The TV station is under his control, outsiders wouldn’t know, but I know very well."

Gao Yang laughed, "There are two possibilities. One is that Mario’s situation is indeed very bad, so he has to appear on TV to tell people he’s still alive and fears no one. The other is that he hopes we’ll go to his house to find him."

Smiling, Gao Yang shook his head and said, "No matter how you look at it, it’s a trap. Appearing at his own home intentionally, does he want us to fight to the death with him?"

Justin said gravely, "He might really be at home, and he will prove it. I guess, as long as we send someone to investigate at his house, they’ll find Mario at home. But how many people he has lying in ambush inside and near his house is uncertain. I guess he won’t even rely on snipers."

Gao Yang laughed, "If we go looking for him, we’re jumping into the net he’s spread for us. If we don’t look for him, he’s achieved the aim of showing strength to many enemies and potential enemies. Even if he can’t lure us in, he’ll still relieve his current predicament somewhat. Who said Mario is stupid? He’s quite clever."

Justin whispered, "He always does very well, even perfectly, on small matters and details, but can’t get a handle on major issues."

Gao Yang exhaled and said, "We have an idiom that sums him up. ’Holding life dear when achieving big things, forgetting life for small gains.’ That describes someone like Mario."

Justin spread his hands and said, "Your idioms seem to encompass and symbolize everything."

Gao Yang chuckled, clapped his hands, and then said loudly, "That’s wisdom, ancient wisdom. If you’re familiar with history, you’ll make fewer mistakes. He plays his intrigue, I’ll set my trap. Doesn’t matter, let’s see who gets the better of whom in the end."

Justin was slightly surprised and said, "Doesn’t matter? Completely ignore him?"

Gao Yang shook his head and said, "No, not completely ignore. We have to respond, give his daughter back to him. Well, more precisely, her head."

Justin’s face darkened, and he shook his head without speaking.

Gao Yang sighed, "Come on, don’t be like that. The more you act like this, the more I feel like the bad guy."

Justin took a deep breath and said, "Buddy, that’s my niece. Although she’s not much younger than me, she’s always called me uncle. Even though Mario killed my whole family, do you think I feel good hearing this? It’s not pity for her, it’s not that. Alright, I just want to say how it came to this, Mario really deserves to die, none of this should’ve happened!"

Gao Yang patted Justin on the shoulder and said, "This is a family feud. The losing side’s whole family dies. Don’t pity your enemies, think about how to survive."

With another pat on Justin’s shoulder, Gao Yang returned to the living room and said to Yarebin, "Mario went on TV, at his house."

Yarebin said with interest, "Oh, why didn’t you call me to watch?"

Gao Yang shook his head, "Nothing worth watching, all nonsense. It’s just a way to stabilize the situation, and incidentally try to lure us in. Watch him mess around."

Yarebin laughed, "So what are you planning to do?"

Gao Yang said, "Ignore him, proceed as planned."

Yarebin burst into laughter, pointing at Gao Yang, "That’s what I admire about you, you always make the right choice, well, most of the time."

Gao Yang also laughed, then he called out loudly, "Leonard."

Number Thirteen came out and stood in front of Gao Yang. Gao Yang pointed at the bathroom door and said, "You need to make a trip, give Mario’s daughter back to him."

"Where should I deliver her?"

"Originally to his house, but Mario just did an interview at home on TV. Even though Mario is definitely at home, he’s surely arranged a lot of people waiting for us to take the bait, so delivering her to his house is too dangerous. Hmm, take his daughter to the TV station, I think he’ll definitely receive the big gift you deliver."

Number Thirteen frowned, "Why deliver to the TV station? Being too high-profile is not a good habit."

Gao Yang said, "Justin said that TV station is controlled by Mario. The most important thing is, Mario just said on TV that the Cicero Family wasn’t under specific attack, everything that happened was a terrorist assault. He didn’t admit that multiple members of the Cicero Family are dead. In that case, we’ll send his daughter to the TV station. That’ll be big news. If the TV station airs it, it’ll make Mario’s situation even tougher. If the TV station doesn’t air it, it doesn’t matter, we’ve achieved our goal anyway."

Number Thirteen nodded, then suddenly said, "Just say the first sentence, the rest doesn’t need explaining, I completely understand."

Yarebin also nodded, "That’s right, no need to explain everything so clearly, you just say it and he does it."

Gao Yang laughed, "Habit problem. Without a clear explanation, many people won’t understand."

Number Thirteen said gravely, "When do we deliver it?"

Gao Yang looked at his watch, "Let’s wait first, wait till our trap is set, then deliver it. I’m worried once this is done, things might spiral out of control, so if things seem off, we need to run."

After saying this, Gao Yang scratched his head, "Speaking of which, we haven’t picked the location for setting the trap yet. Where would be suitable? There shouldn’t be residents around, collateral damage is not good, and it should also be easy for us to hide. In a place like Rome City Center, it’s hard to find. We’ll have to go to the outskirts."

Yarebin said, "What means do you plan to use to set the trap?"

Gao Yang waved his hand, "Fake Medicine! Of course, Fake Medicine. We’ve used it many times, it’s both effective and safe. Finally, make a big noise, do the bad deed and run away. Haha, thinking about it is a bit exciting."
