Mercenary’s War

If Satan wants a peaceful retirement for everyone, finding a successor is imperative, and having Angel as the inheritor is the best option Gao Yang could think of.

There’s really no more suitable choice than Angel, so even though Nate immediately rejected Gao Yang’s request before he could say it, Gao Yang isn’t ready to give up yet.

"Nate, a name is just a code name, right? Whether it’s called Angel or Satan, what’s the difference? What does it matter?"

Gao Yang wanted to persuade Nate, so he looked very serious, hoping Nate would change his mind.

"Buddy, think about it again, I’m retiring, and you’re the one who’s going to keep fighting. Do me a favor, please, just a favor. You’re just using Satan’s name, isn’t it simple?"

Nate shook his head, stared at Gao Yang, made Gao Yang feel tense, and then smiled slightly, saying, "Ram, you’ve overlooked a serious issue."

"What?"

Nate spoke very seriously too, "Angel fights for the sake of fighting, isn’t Satan the same? As a mercenary, you’ve already reached the limit. You’ve achieved a position, wealth, and power mercenaries aren’t supposed to achieve, but you’re still a mercenary. To keep everything you’ve obtained, you need to maintain your current fighting strength, otherwise, what value do you have?"

Gao Yang sighed lightly, "Even though I hate to admit it, that’s the truth."

Nate continued seriously, "Once you successfully lead Satan to transform and completely leave the mercenary identity behind, then you can keep everything you have now. Therefore, you need to control a force strong and capable enough, which you haven’t found yet. So although you’re very wealthy, you have to continue fighting because a team can easily stay together fighting, but once it disbands, truly disbands, it’s hard to organize it again."

Gao Yang nodded lightly, "That’s right."

Nate smiled, "Satan can earn a lot, though I don’t know how you do it, but under the premise that everyone in Satan is at least a multimillionaire, it’s unrealistic to expect your people to return to normal life and then bring them back out."

Gao Yang, slightly annoyed, said, "I’ve thought about these questions countless times, there’s no need for you to repeat them. What exactly are you trying to say?"

Nate spoke coldly, "The problem is that you need a force you can absolutely control, and Angel will never be controlled by anyone, understand?"

Gao Yang was stunned but then nodded, whispering, "I understand, I get it."

Nate exhaled, saying, "We can never be controlled by anyone. I owe you a big favor, I owe you my life, everyone in Angel owes you a life, but we will pay back the money, we will pay back the life, but we won’t be controlled by you."

Gao Yang smiled, "Understood."

"You already have a big company now, your company needs manpower, no problem, we can work for your company and carry out missions. If you need to deal with an enemy and can’t act yourself, no problem, I can lead Angel to solve it for you, but all this has a premise, it must be beneficial to Angel. I’ll pay back your life, but it won’t be forever; one time! One chance, no matter what you ask, Angel will complete it with full effort.

Nate raised a finger, very solemnly said to Gao Yang, "This one chance, even if Angel is completely wiped out, I won’t hesitate, but you need a successor who can do anything, a successor team that can be sacrificed at any time and replaced at any time, instead of just a team that only follows you unconditionally once, so Angel can’t be Satan’s successor."

Gao Yang exhaled and said, "You have a point. Okay, let’s forget about having you carry the flag of Satan."

Nate said disdainfully, "You shouldn’t have said it, because you should understand one thing, Angel will never become anyone’s substitute, absolutely not!"

"Twice."

"What?"

"I said twice, is twice okay?"

Nate looked at Gao Yang in surprise, "You’re actually asking me to pay you back twice?"

Gao Yang grinned cheekily, "Exactly, you’re going to do two things unconditionally for me because I’m definitely not going to let you get wiped out. One is too few, too few. I’m not asking you to pay back your life, you’re just doing one thing for me, I’m losing out, so how about twice?"

Nate frowned, "My gratitude towards you is vanishing quickly, think about what you should be saying."

Gao Yang still held up two fingers, "Just twice! You know I feel bad asking you to really risk your life, so is one really okay? Are you okay with it?"

Nate said disdainfully, "You’re becoming more like a businessman. Can this be negotiated?"

"I am a businessman, I’m a big boss now, right? How about this, I’ll take a step back, you do three tasks for me for free, but you get to choose whether to do them or not. You don’t have to satisfy my demands at any cost because I feel bad asking you to take on a suicidal mission, so you do three tasks for me, but you get to choose whether or not to do them. Is this fair?"

Nate’s forehead was twitching, then he suddenly said, "Twice, one more word and I won’t be paying back any favor! Damn it!"

Gao Yang shrugged, "Okay then, twice it is, remember you owe me two tasks, for free, this is important, I don’t need you to be grateful to me, I just need you to remember you owe me two tasks."

Nate said resentfully, "Shrewd!"

Gao Yang laughed, "Businessman."

After laughing and saying he was a businessman, Gao Yang changed the subject with a smile, "Do you have any suitable candidates to recommend to me as a successor?"

Nate immediately said, "Yes!"

Gao Yang was surprised, "Oh? Really?"

"Really, also a Chinese, named Zhang Yong, nicknamed Earthworm, the best soldier I’ve ever seen. I remember mentioning him to you."

Gao Yang thought about it, "You really did mention him, during the time in Somalia. Do you have contact?"

Nate shook his head, "No contact, but if you’re looking for a successor, I think he’s the right choice. Let your agent look for him, you should be able to get in touch."

Gao Yang slapped his leg, stood up and said, "I won’t disturb your rest any longer, I’m going to find out more about this Zhang Yong, see you later."

"Wait a minute."

Nate said thoughtfully, "I’ve thought about it; I don’t think you’re the type to be petty, so it’s worth considering why you’re negotiating with me like this. You said you don’t need me to be grateful to you?"

Gao Yang sighed, "It seems your brain is a bit square, but not stupid. Correct, I don’t need you to owe me your life, nor do I need you to be grateful to me. It’s normal for a friend to lend a hand in times of trouble; there’s no need to owe this or that, buddy, one should have a bit of humanity, understand? Goodbye."
