CHAPTER 1456: CHAPTER ONE THOUSAND FOUR HUNDRED THIRTY-SEVEN OLD EMPLOYEE

The power of hatred is truly strong. Although it’s not to the point where revenge is the only reason to continue living, Gao Yang can’t forget the last enemy responsible for Bruce’s death, even for a moment.

As the saying goes, no matter where Badadi is, no matter what the cost, as long as Badadi dares to show his trace, Gao Yang will certainly find and then eliminate him.

After hanging up the phone, Gao Yang waved to Taylor, who was not far from him. After Taylor arrived in front of him, he whispered, "There’s news about Badadi. He should be in Iraq now. Recently, IS’s activities have picked up, and Badadi has briefly appeared."

Taylor’s eyes lit up, and he said in a deep voice, "Is there any concrete information?"

Gao Yang shook his head and said, "Not yet, but there will be. He can’t help but come out. As long as he’s still commanding IS, he will show up."

IS’s activities in Syria have never truly stopped, but compared to their most active times, they’ve been quiet for some time after being targeted by Satan. Especially after Badadi was blasted by Tommy, not only did he disappear for months, but the main forces of IS also fled from Syria to Iraq.

Taylor took a deep breath and said softly, "I thought Badadi would never dare to appear again. As long as he shows up briefly, it means he is unwilling to remain silent. Sooner or later, we will find him. No need to hurry."

Gao Yang nodded and said, "That’s right, no hurry. Just keep a close watch. Alright, how’s the Skull Gang’s ground forces’ attack going?"

Taylor said solemnly, "The Instruction Platoon has already entered the city. We will soon rendezvous with them. At the current speed of the attack, there should be no problem completely taking Berbera before nightfall."

At this moment, someone shouted in Gao Yang’s earpiece, "The enemy has surrendered, Boss. The battle at the port can be declared over. Leave the surrendering to the Marines, and we’re heading over."

The speaker was Ludwig Hunter, known as Big Mister. After working for Satan in Syria for some time, he went to Mexico. After spending several years in prison, Ludwig spent the considerable amount of money he earned in Syria in Mexico in no time. If not for Satan’s timely call, Ludwig might have resorted to illegitimate means to make ends meet again.

Having worked together before, being familiar with each other, and knowing each other’s capabilities, these mercenaries were naturally prioritized for use. Therefore, not only Ludwig, everyone who collaborated with Satan in Syria, except for Alcohol who died there, came without exception.

A group of people were laughing and chatting as they approached Gao Yang, with the large and showy Ludwig leading in front. Behind him were those familiar to Gao Yang, followed by a group of black men, at least sixty people.

Gao Yang stood up and, after embracing the foremost Ludwig, shook hands with Li Yunzhe, patting him firmly on the shoulder, laughing, "Looks like you’ve recovered well."

Li Yunzhe shrugged and said with a smile, "Thanks to the Dragon Knight being a decent doctor. But dude, leaving us in this damned desert almost killed us. Excluding Loach’s men, of course, who especially enjoy eating, drinking, and sleeping, but I was miserable. Can’t even find a single beauty here."

Li Yunzhe left a deep impression on Gao Yang because he got up after being shot, and then again after being shot. He was practically an indestructible cockroach.

Releasing his handshake with Li Yunzhe, Gao Yang greeted everyone he knew in turn, and the same went for Satan’s people. In the mercenary circle, it’s indeed rare for a group of mercenaries to meet like this.

Firestorm also came. After Alcohol died, they didn’t recruit new members. The four-man Firestorm now had only three, not exactly a mercenary group anymore, but they still carried on under the name of Firestorm.

When Gao Yang shook hands with Gale, he noticed a round scar on the back of Gale’s hand and asked softly, "Are you okay now?"

Gale smiled and said in a deep voice, "Much better, it’s okay now. At least I won’t point the gun at my own head anymore. Buddy, thank you for that shot, I’ve always wanted to say thank you."

Gao Yang hugged Gale, patting Gale’s back, and said solemnly, "You’re welcome."

After separating from Gao Yang, Gale made a gun gesture with his hand and said quietly, "Buddy, whenever you go after Badadi again, make sure to let us know. Free of charge, we won’t charge. Don’t forget."

Yet another mercenary ignoring mercenary principles for hatred—or rather, a three-man mercenary group. Gao Yang smiled, nodded, and said, "Don’t worry, if there’s any action, I’ll definitely notify you."

Finally, it was Li Qiu, who strictly speaking, was quite legendary, as he was the only one to form a mercenary group while being a mercenary in Africa. Li Qiu also started mingling earlier than Gao Yang and Li Jinfang, with a larger team, although Li Qiu’s group always operated at a lower level.

Seeing Li Qiu, Gao Yang laughed heartily and shouted, "Brother, there’s no shortage of sheep here. How about a pot of mutton offal soup today?"

Li Qiu laughed heartily, shouting, "We’re the only Huaxia People so persistent in eating offal. Alright, I’ll whip up a pot for you tonight. Come, let me introduce my deputy commander. You can call him Old Black, though it started with just me calling him that, now everyone does."

Beside Li Qiu was an elderly black man with a face full of wrinkles, holding an AK47, yet incongruously with a night vision device hanging on his waist.

Gao Yang needed a group of people to work for him in Yemen, needing enough numbers and scale. He felt Li Qiu’s men were quite suitable, so he brought them over. They reportedly performed well, nowhere near the level of Ludwig and Li Yunzhe’s group, but they performed adequately under Li Qiu’s command. In Yemen, they could easily accomplish many tasks dressed as locals.

After a simple conversation with Old Black, Gao Yang clapped his hands and said with a smile to the people in front of him, "I know you’ve been holding back for a long time, but we’ve finally seized Berbera. You have a lot of work in the coming days. We’ll discuss your next tasks in detail later. Rest assured, it’s impossible for you to live boring days again." (To be continued.
