Mercenary’s War

Chapter 2239 - 2215: Everything Will Come

There were no more issues with Jesse Lee, which made Gao Yang feel relieved, but right after leaving Jesse Lee’s room, his relief quickly dissipated.

Mario didn’t die, and Justin didn’t either, but Mario’s desperate counterattack put both Satan and Grand Ivan in a particularly passive, if not extremely difficult, situation.

Gao Yang almost managed to push Mario to his end, but now he failed to truly eliminate Mario, and Mario has now regained his strength.

After withstanding the joint storm-like assault from Grand Ivan and Satan, both Grand Ivan and Satan’s forces were forced to leave Italy, giving Mario enough time and energy to clean up the aftermath. As time passes, once Mario recovers from his injuries and restores his strength, it will be time for him to seek revenge.

However, Mario likely cannot spare the effort for revenge right now, as he is undoubtedly also in a state of crisis.

The intervention of the Italian Government was not unconditional, for a very simple reason: if Italy truly acted to maintain domestic order, they would have treated both sides causing the chaos equally and used overwhelming force to eliminate both the Cicero Family and Gao Yang’s group. However, the Italian Government did not do that and instead clearly took the side of the Cicero Family.

So, Mario must have paid a significant price to gain the support of the national forces, yet he hasn’t managed to swallow the Cicero Family in the process.

But with the Italian Government getting involved, they failed to either capture or eliminate Justin, which means Mario still has plenty of issues to sort out before he can deal with Satan.

The reason is simple: right now, Mario’s biggest enemies are no longer Satan or Grand Ivan, but rather the Italian Government or the domestic forces coveting the Cicero Family.

It’s been forty hours since reaching Germany, and during this time, Gao Yang hasn’t been idle. He had a long conversation with Grand Ivan, discussing how to respond to Mario’s counterattack. Of course, the best course of action is still to eliminate Mario and let Justin take his place, that’s the ideal.

But Justin still hasn’t escaped danger, as he hasn’t woken up yet.

Now Ivan has left Europe; he doesn’t even dare stay in Ukraine and can only return to South America, where he’s been established the longest. If any major actions are needed next, Grand Ivan will have to work with Uriyangko to cooperate with Satan.

Now Gao Yang has to make the next move according to the evolving situation, starting with withdrawing Satan from Europe.

The problem is Gao Yang has no idea where to withdraw to or how the subsequent battles should unfold.

In essence, as long as Mario is alive and starts focusing on dealing with Satan with his full attention, Gao Yang dares not make any moves. Hiding in the shadows and waiting for an opportunity is fine, but ignoring Mario’s threat and acting openly is like courting death recklessly.

Sitting face-to-face with Glolov, Gao Yang looked grim, and after a long silence, he said in a deep voice, "If Mario doesn’t die, we have to; now, I think it’s time to relocate our families. I’ve exposed too much to Mario."

In front of Mario, Gao Yang had shown his face and was interrogated for so long. Even if he didn’t say a word, Mario surely knows his true face, his voice, and all his characteristics, because Fatino’s daily interrogation results are reported to Mario in real-time.

Glolov whispered, "Where can we relocate them to?"

Gao Yang exhaled and said, "Moving them is pointless. What’s important is cutting off our ties with our families, giving Yelena and the others new identities, and with Morgan providing protection, we should be able to ensure safety. But as long as Mario is alive, their safety will always be an issue."

Glolov, with a fierce expression, whispered, "So no matter what, we must eliminate Mario at all costs!"

Gao Yang nodded and said, "Number Thirteen has returned to Italy; the three of them are still looking for an opportunity to take down Mario. But with Mario being extra cautious, there’s no way Number Thirteen and the others can succeed easily; as long as Number Thirteen is around, we’re not completely defenseless."

Glolov asked, "Justin hasn’t woken up? Can he survive?"

Gao Yang shook his head and said, "I don’t know; Yarebin will inform us of any news. However, I still plan to go to Greece today. You should also prepare for the relocation."

Glolov made a slicing gesture with his hand and said quietly, "If it really comes to it, we could use those chemical rockets. We have four left, and if you ask me, we should take on the whole world if it means not letting Mario live! Because only Mario would spend the rest of his life looking for opportunities to kill our families!"

Gao Yang sighed, "The only problem is we have no idea where Mario is hiding. Wanting to use them is one thing, but we need to be able to find him first. If we can find Mario, we have many options."

Glolov said angrily, "Justin, it’s up to Justin. I just hope this guy doesn’t die!"

Gao Yang said quietly, "That’s why I decided to go to Greece today. I want to be there when Justin wakes up. As long as he lives, he can definitely utilize the Cicero Family intelligence network. The guy has reignited his fighting spirit; f**k! Just when he was about to do something, he got shot in the neck!"

Just then, Gao Yang’s phone rang. Eagerly awaiting the call, Gao Yang immediately answered, and he heard Yarebin’s voice on the other end, chuckling, "Good news, Justin is awake; he won’t die."

Gao Yang almost cried, giving Glolov a thumbs-up while Glolov, who was watching him with clasped hands, immediately clapped and shouted, "Yes!"

Gao Yang took a deep breath and whispered, "That’s fantastic, absolutely fantastic!"

Yarebin warmly said, "With Justin awake, there won’t be any more problems. Let him rest for a day before making calls; he’s no longer a stray dog with nothing. He has a powerful ally now, which means Justin has regained his value to pledge loyalty, so intelligence will come, and opportunities will be there."

Gao Yang replied quietly, "With intelligence, everything will be just fine!"

Yarebin calmly said, "Be prepared, as I said before, Mario needs to show his face in public to demonstrate his control over the situation. Therefore, the key moment from before remains effective. I don’t think it will be long before there’s an opportunity to eliminate him."
