Mercenary’s War Chapter 1166 - 1166 One Thousand One Hundred Forty-Nine Trou

1166: Chapter One Thousand One Hundred Forty-Nine: Trouble 1166: Chapter One Thousand One Hundred Forty-Nine: Trouble Morgan must have felt troubled, as per his habit, if Gao Yang gifted him a good gun, he would reciprocate with a gift of approximately equal value, but this ti Morgan found it difficult to reciprocate.

If it were a transaction, Gao Yang giving the gun and Morgan paying money would have been simple, but the problem is Gao Yang gifted the shotgun as a favor, and for Morgan to simply pay money wouldn’t be appropriate.

Insignificant trinkets, just accepting them is fine, even from the perspective of ordinary people who consider thirty or fifty thousand dollars a substantial amount, Morgan would have accepted it.

However, this gun is not just worth thirty or fifty thousand, nor even three hundred or five hundred thousand, but rather, it’s priceless, making it difficult for Morgan to handle.

If it weren’t sothing he especially liked, faced with the dilemma of whether to pay or not to pay, Morgan would definitely have refused it.

But the problem is, Gao Yang gifted him sothing incredibly valuable that he couldn’t have obtained through any amount of effort from others, making it impossible for Morgan not to accept it.

Thus Morgan was indeed troubled, very troubled.

Gao Yang knew what was going on with Morgan, so when Morgan sighed heavily, he waved his hand nonchalantly and loudly said, “It’s okay, don’t worry about it.

Rember what I told you last ti?

I said I’d get you so shotguns you’d like when I had the chance, and this is keeping my promise, don’t fret over it.”

Morgan spread out his hands and said, “Let’s not talk about this issue now, we can discuss it later, Gao, in a few days there’s a gun show in Los Angeles, they have an antique gun section, I’m planning to go have a look, are you interested?”

Gao Yang shrugged and replied, “Sure, let’s go check it out.

I’m probably going to take a long break this ti, I plan to really enjoy myself for a while, and since there’s a gun show, why not go check it out as well?

Also, I was going to et soone in Los Angeles anyway, so the gun show fits right into the plan.”

Taylor suddenly said, “Gun show in Los Angeles?

Although California’s gun control laws aren’t the strictest, they are still quite strict.

If you’re thinking about buying guns at the show, I think going to Redneck territory would be the most appropriate, why not consider going to Texas?

I rember the Houston gun show is happening around these days, right?”

Morgan laughed, looked at Taylor, and then addressed Gao Yang, “A newcor?”

Gao Yang nodded and said, “Yes, a newcor, Arican.”

Morgan spread his hands and smilingly told Taylor, “My main purchase would be antique guns, so visiting a big city gun show like Los Angeles is more suitable.”

Taylor nodded his head, no longer speaking, then Morgan smiled at Gao Yang and asked, “You’re taking a long break, what are you planning to do?”

Gao Yang grinned, “Ignore work for a bit, just play and relax, I’m planning to travel to Europe.”

Morgan nodded and said, “It’s about ti you traveled, with all the money you’ve earned, you should enjoy life a bit.”

Just then, Simon shouted at them, “Alright everyone, take your seats, we are ready for takeoff.”

Everyone found their seats and sat down, but then Morgan stood up, addressed Gao Yang, “Let’s go and have a private chat.”

Gao Yang followed Morgan to a private cabin, carefully stored his shotgun away, and then Morgan pressed a button on his seat, loudly announcing, “Ready to take off.”

After notifying the pilots that they could take off, Morgan waved at Gao Yang and said, “Gao, before you start enjoying your vacation, we should finish discussing important matters.

There are a few things you need to know.”

After stating that, Morgan reached for a docunt bag from the small table next to him, handed it to Gao Yang, and said gravely, “Inside there’s a card and complete paperwork from a Swiss Bank with twenty-six million dollars in it.”

Gao Yang received the docunt bag and frowned, “So much money, what does it an?”

Morgan shrugged and replied, “It’s our share from the diamond mine.”

Gao Yang exclaid in surprise, “So much?

Weren’t we not doing dividends for now?”

Morgan chuckled, “Buddy, the necessary investnts have been made, these are the latest dividends.

Moreover, in both of our safes, there’s another hundred million dollars worth of diamond stocks at the current market value.

If I wasn’t worried about causing too big a market impact that would draw attention, this dividend would have been more than just twenty million.”

Gao Yang felt inside the docunt bag with his hand and smiled, “That’s great, I just need so money, how’s the diamond mine doing?

No problems, right?”

Morgan gently stroked his chin and spoke gravely, “Actually, there are so issues.

The Depp Group, which mainly operates in South Africa, hasn’t been very honest.”

Gao Yang frowned and asked, “What happened?”

Morgan chuckled lightly: “Although the Depp Group doesn’t mine the diamond mine themselves, before we stepped in, Depp Group was the biggest beneficiary of that mine.

We took over the mine, and naturally, Depp Group wouldn’t just give up.

Depp Group has already troubled us twice, the most recent occurrence was half a month ago when twenty-six of our people at the mine died.

However, the rcenaries they hired didn’t get any advantage either, over sixty of them died.”

Gao Yang frowned, “So many people died!”

Gao Yang was sowhat surprised, as Morgan was the main person managing the diamond mine.

To preserve this imnsely beneficial mine, Morgan had invested heavily, particularly in security asures, hiring competent individuals to oversee it.

Under these circumstances, the death of over twenty, was highly unusual.

The plane began taxiing and taking off, Morgan didn’t speak until after takeoff, then he shrugged at Gao Yang, “Around two months ago, Depp Group made one attack where their rcenary group was very poor, more than a hundred people, none escaped; all were killed by our guard squad.

The second ti, Depp Group hired so highly capable rcenaries, resulting in significant losses for us; twenty-six died and eight were severely injured.

Among the dead, nine were personally recruited by .

The clash resulted in heavy losses and we spent over ten million just dealing with the aftermath for those who died.”

Morgan’s brow furrowed deeply, and so did Gao Yang’s.

After a mont of silence, Gao Yang said solemnly, “What’s your plan to resolve the issue with Depp Group?”

Morgan calmly replied: “I’ve already sent soone to negotiate with Depp Group.

If Depp Group realizes their situation and accepts the status quo, then this matter can be closed.

If they can’t face reality, we have no choice but to implent firr asures.”

After finishing speaking, Morgan stood up.

On the table next to him was a bottle of Whiskey; he opened the cupboard, took out two glasses, poured the whiskey, and handed one to Gao Yang, then sat down, holding the glass and said softly: “The only thing I’m worried about now is that Depp Group might reveal the existence of the diamond mine to the whole world if they feel they can’t take it, which would make it impossible for us to keep control of our mine.”

Gao Yang made a throat-slitting gesture with his hand and then said in a low voice: “Killing everyone in Depp Group who knows about this, can it solve our current predicant?”

Morgan nodded, toasted Gao Yang with his glass and took a sip, then said gravely, “Right now, it’s unclear how many people within Depp Group know about the existence of the mine.

Logically, for such a big issue, Depp Group would likely keep it under wraps, so those in the know should not be extensive.

However, we don’t know what protective asures Depp Group might have in place; we can’t act rashly without understanding the situation fully.”

Depp Group is unwilling to lose the diamond mine, hence they are attempting to retake it by force.

Depp Group also understands that once the news of the diamond mine leaks, they won’t be able to keep it, so they are trying to block the news as much as possible.

The fear is that Depp Group, once they find it hopeless to retrieve the diamond mine, might just burn all bridges—if they can’t have it, neither can we—and expose the existence of the diamond mine to the whole world, making it a free-for-all.

It would be straightforward to directly wipe out the key people of Depp Group, but whether that would keep the secret from getting out is uncertain.

Gao Yang took a sip of Whiskey and then said solemnly, “Is there a suitable buyer to sell the mine to right now?”

Morgan shook his head with a wry smile, “No, this is a business worth at least several billion, it’s not so easy to find a buyer.

Moreover, we currently don’t completely control the diamond mine, and negotiations with the Sudanese governnt are ongoing.

To avoid future troubles, we also need to negotiate with whichever of these two countries ends up owning that land; it has to end up being ours.”

Unable to use the most direct thod to eliminate Depp Group, and unable to imdiately sell off the diamond mine, only compromise remains.

Gao Yang said gravely, “Can’t we mine the diamonds and then sell them to Depp Group, temporarily cooperating to avoid a mutually destructive situation?”

Morgan shook his head, “No, Depp Group’s appetite is too big—they want to continue purchasing at low prices like before.

The price they offer and our minimum acceptable price differ by tenfold; there’s simply no room for negotiation.

Blood diamonds already trade at much lower prices than regular ones, we cannot make concessions to Depp Group.”

Gao Yang waved his hand, “So, you an there’s no room for negotiation.

We must give them a severe lesson, find out how much they know, determine how extensive their knowledge of the secret is, and once we have that figured out, eliminate them!”

Morgan said gravely, “Exactly, I have people buying ti negotiating with Depp Group right now, keeping them steady so they don’t leak our secret.

During this ti, we’ll mine as much as possible.

Even if it ends in a total breakdown, we’ll have to profit big beforehand.”

After finishing speaking, Morgan drained the glass of whiskey and then said gravely, “I’ve already arranged our manpower; Depp Group’s details are well understood by us now.

We are just waiting to find out who all know the secret.

Once we confirm that, imdiate action will be taken.” (To be continued.
