?46: Chapter 44 Recruit People 46: Chapter 44 Recruit People Smart people catch on quickly; Gao Yi didn’t need Sean to spell it out, he knew what had happened.

    This was a classic double-cross, no, more accurately, it was like using a tiger to swallow the wolf.

    It was just unclear whom he had called.

    Sean calmly said, “Don’t worry about who I am.

    We want nothing except Suleyman’s death.

    Just deal with Suleyman’s people, and I’ll hand over Suleyman’s corpse to you.

    How about it, do you dare?”

    After a moment, the phone was hung up, and Sean confidently smiled at Gao Yi, saying, “Handled.”

    “Who did you call?”

    Sean sighed and said, “Suleyman’s competitors, Mexicali’s second-largest power.

    They’re very eager to eliminate Suleyman.

    Normally, they can’t defeat Suleyman, but now that Suleyman is in our hands, it’s different.”

    Gao Yi took a breath and said, “You’re really…

    quite cunning.

    I’m just curious, didn’t you think about taking ten million dollars and leaving?”

    “Do you want to?”

    “I really do, but I know it’s not possible.”

    Sean nodded, “Good, you’re wise.

    Ten million dollars is a huge amount, a pile of cash, and it’s basic practice to install GPS on the vehicles.

    There’s no way we could take the money and escape safely if Suleyman were so easy to give in, then he wouldn’t deserve to be Mexicali’s biggest drug lord.”

    “What else could he do?”

    Without hesitation, Sean said, “He could do too much.

    Regardless of what you think, remember, we are just two people.

    Without other people to muddy the waters, we can’t escape.

    So later, even if that money is right in front of you, don’t waste time grabbing it.

    When I say run, start running immediately.

    Don’t delay even a second.”

    “And then?”

    Sean thought for a moment then said, “Then we can watch them fight each other like dogs.”

    The plan was not complicated; it was essentially about finding Suleyman’s enemies and sticking to the mission, while remaining composed despite the allure of ten million dollars.

    Gao Yi nodded, then he suddenly said, “Can I get my two hundred thousand now?”

    “Give it right now, right now.”

    Sean picked up the phone, operated it a few times, then said, “Mission accomplished, pay up.”

    After putting down the phone, Sean commented with deep emotion, “Can I ask you a question?”

    “You ask.”

    “How did you do it?”

    Gao Yi thought about it then replied, “Just went in, knocked out the bodyguard, went out.”

    Sean went silent for a while, then said again, “Perhaps I was too brief in my question, I mean, how did you get close to Suleyman under the surveillance of a dozen bodyguards, and how did you knock out Suleyman’s bodyguards and still manage to get him out alive?”

    “Just went in, grabbed him, went out, oh, and knocked out a few guards in heavy bullet-proof vests at the door, that’s all.”

    “I…”

    Sean opened his mouth several times, then finally said, “If it’s inconvenient to reveal, then never mind.”

    Gao Yi said helplessly, “I’ve told you already.

    If you want details, it’s just one hammer per person, very simple.”

    Gao Yi and Sean couldn’t understand each other’s feelings.

    For Gao Yi, this was basic operation; asking him to elaborate was pointless.

    Was it necessary to explain in detail how one shopped for and picked out a fresh cabbage from the market?

    But for Sean, it was different.

    An impossible task, Gao Yi strolled in and brought back the target, like picking a cabbage, but Gao Yi wasn’t browsing a vegetable market; he had plucked a cabbage from a minefield, so shouldn’t one be curious how he managed it?

    It’s just that Sean didn’t understand, and therefore couldn’t explain.

    Eventually, Sean said frustrately, “Okay, I understand now.”

    “What did you understand?”

    Sean replied solemnly, “You’re not just an assassin; you’re more like a berserker, but you possess a termination skill others can hardly imagine.

    As long as you can get close to your target, you can terminate it.”

    After saying that, Sean continued emotionally, “I’ve never seen an assassin like you before; you defy all norms.

    Although your termination skill is strong, your weaknesses are also quite clear, like your inability to handle dangers after eliminating your target, like right now…”

    Gao Yi looked back and said, “Our pursuers are getting distant.

    Speaking of which, I want to ask why the hammer you gave me broke!”

    Sean was trying to rope in Gao Yi, and he didn’t need to be secretive about that, while Gao Yi swiftly changed the subject because if he was as formidable as Sean said, he could have joined any assassin organization and wouldn’t need a leaky ship like Garden.

    The broken hammer was indeed Sean’s work error.

    Sean paused, pondered for a moment, then said, “Did you say the hammer broke?”

    “Yes, the bead on the hammer’s head broke off from the welded point.”

    Sean apologized profusely, “I’m sorry, it was my work error.

    Analyzing the reason, it might be because the bearing steel is high-carbon steel, which has poor weldability.

    It requires preheating before welding and heat preservation afterward, but we were too pressed for time and didn’t do these tasks.

    Under heavy impact, such a hammer indeed could break.”

    Gao nodded, “Alright, as long as you didn’t do it on purpose, that’s fine.”

    “I’ll go back and make you a new hammer immediately, using integral forging or maybe forging with a steel ball core and then riveting through the handle; that way it will definitely not break.”

    “No need, I don’t particularly like hammers, nor can I only use hammers.

    It just so happened that a hammer suited this time.”

    Sean fell silent for a moment, then said again, “You see, in this operation, you don’t have to worry about exposing your identity.

    If it were just you, you might have been exposed, and then you’d never get another chance to be an assassin.”

    Gao Yi nodded, “Do you really need to mention this now?

    Can we discuss it after we are safe?

    We are running for our lives here, can you please focus?”

    Sean sighed.

    He knew he had been somewhat impatient, then he intended to leave a better, more reliable impression on Gao Yi.

    “No problem, we will definitely escape safely.

    Let me think, maybe add an extra layer of safety.”

    Mumbling to himself, Sean picked up his cellphone again, supported the steering wheel with one hand, and said into the phone, “Hi, Siri, call Sand Scorpion.”

    The call connected, and Sean said, “Hi, Sand Scorpion, ten million dollars.

    It’s not a mission but a steal.

    You interested?”

    “That depends on who we are stealing from.”

    “Suleyman.”

    “Suleyman?

    You mean the one from Mexicali?

    Uh, I’m in Africa…”

    “Suleyman is in my car.”

    “Um, my business in Africa is done, I’m now in America, but…”

    “I only want him dead, you get me?”

    “I’m in Tijuana!

    I’ll find a plane over.

    Give me an hour, I can make it.”

    Sean looked at his watch and said, “Alright, I’ll give you the exact location when it’s time.”

    Watching the phone shut off, Gao Yi finally whispered, “Who was that?

    Who did you call?”

    “The Sand Scorpion Mercenary Group.”

    Sean waved his hand nonchalantly, “A decent mercenary group. Sear?h the N?vel(F)ire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    With their involvement, things will get messier and it will be easier for us to escape in the chaos, don’t you think?”
