Mercenary’s War Chapter 1548 - 1528: The Worst-Case Scenario

Gao Yang wanted to grab Polovich by the collar and ask him what was going on, but for now, he didn’t have the ti. His most pressing task was to notify Morgan and get him to help get the family mbers of Satan out of Arica first.

When he was calling Morgan, Gao Yang found dialing so difficult. Once Morgan answered, Gao Yang felt a bitterness in his mouth, then said in a dry voice, "Morgan, the worst-case scenario has happened. Let’s get our families to a safe place."

Morgan was silent for a mont, then sighed deeply and said in a gloomy tone, "This day has finally co. Are you sure it’s the worst-case scenario?"

Gao Yang said bitterly, "We just took down two CIA people."

Morgan sighed again and said helplessly, "If only you had stopped earlier, but forget it, it’s useless to talk about these things now. Do you have a safe haven?"

Gao Yang thought for a mont, Arica couldn’t be stayed in, Russia couldn’t be gone to, Huaxia couldn’t be visited, France had just had its No. 36 Bureau smashed, so it couldn’t be gone to either. The United Kingdom, it seed they hadn’t been on good terms either, for safety’s sake, can’t go there.

The five great powers, they’ve all been offended sohow. Once identities are revealed, it’s the end of the line. There’s also Germany, seems like it can be gone to, since Eileen’s father is there, but considering the Arican military presence in Germany and the fact that Germany is almost completely controlled by Arica, it’s best not to go there, and to avoid having Eileen cause trouble for her dad, it’s better to stay away from Germany.

Gao Yang felt even more bitter at heart and said in a low voice, "Nowhere suitable."

Morgan sighed and said, "Alright, I have a safe house prepared for myself. Send them all to xico, and then leave from xico to other safe places. Don’t worry about their safety in xico; I’ll have Simon ensure their security."

Gao Yang said in a low voice, "Thank you, we’ll rely on you."

Morgan said seriously, "Don’t be too anxious yet; perhaps things haven’t reached an irreversible point. CIA’s information doesn’t get passed on that quickly; they’re not exactly good little kids who report everything they find imdiately. For safety, we’ll send everyone away first, and if nothing happens, they can treat it as a trip and co back."

Hoping for the best and preparing for the worst, Gao Yang wasn’t in despair yet. He was just taking so precautionary asures to deal with the worst-case scenario, so he wasn’t at the brink of despair. It’s just that thinking about possibly ruining Yelena and Frey’s future made him feel uneasy.

Morgan would definitely help gather information, but that would take ti. Next, all he could do was wait.

After hanging up on Morgan, Gao Yang imdiately called his highest ranked partner in Kiev, Hagel.

"Mr. Hagel, we’re in trouble. Part of what happened on Grushevsky Street just now was us."

Hagel said blankly, "So it really was you guys. Alright, I have a big piece of intel for you."

Taking a breath, Hagel slowly said, "Things are not good. We all thought Djo took down Andre, but it’s very likely not."

Bad news always cos in a series, and Gao Yang closed his eyes, lowered his head, then gritted his teeth and said, "Did the Aricans step in themselves?"

Hagel sighed and said, "Yes, I’ve been investigating this matter. Just now, I finally got the intel. Three days before Andre’s death, a group of people arrived at the US Embassy under extre secrecy."

Gao Yang said with difficulty, "Were the people who killed Andre from the US Embassy?"

Hagel said in a deep voice, "Yes."

Gao Yang understood everything. They had always thought the Aricans wouldn’t personally go after Andre, let alone send a unit like Butter Knife, but the fact proved that the Aricans did it themselves.

Butter Knife is very special. They wouldn’t hide in the Kiev City District; they ca directly to Ukraine through diplomatic channels and directly entered the embassy. This is the kind of treatnt a unit like Butter Knife would expect.

The problem is, if Butter Knife is hidden in the US Embassy, it also ans the Ukrainian upper echelons couldn’t be unaware of this matter. In other words, the Aricans sent an ard group to Ukraine with the tacit consent of the current new governnt, or they even did it in alliance with the new governnt.

Thinking about how the new governnt of Ukraine ca to power, it becos clear that the Aricans wouldn’t face any obstacles in doing things in Ukraine.

Hagel sighed and said seriously, "Given my rank and position, I should have been aware of this matter, but I was not. This ans I’ve been excluded from the core circle, which isn’t surprising. I’m not part of the new governnt. To maintain stability within the military, they’ve allowed to temporarily remain in my current position. But it won’t be long before I’m likely to step down."

Gao Yang couldn’t afford to lose Hagel as an ally. He frowned and asked, "Why?"

Hagel chuckled bitterly, "Would you place soone you trust in charge of the military, or would you use a defector?"

Gao Yang sighed and said seriously, "When do you think this will happen?"

"Very soon. When the new president assus office, that’s when I’ll step down."

Gao Yang felt disoriented, but he steadied his thoughts and asked seriously, "How much do you know about what just happened?"

Hagel chuckled bitterly, "I know nothing. The order to mobilize the military to Grushevsky Street wasn’t given by , but I know the CIA people in Kiev are now very busy and very flustered. So your judgnt is correct; the ones who died were CIA. Also, keep your distance from your friends."

"My friends?"

Hagel said helplessly, "Polovich, you shouldn’t have let him co to Kiev. Everything’s been in chaos since he arrived. The Aricans won’t allow Grand Ivan’s forces to have a new leader, so they’ll get rid of Polovich. Of course, Polovich might have already defected to the Aricans. Buddy, now think about how we’re going to get out of Ukraine alive."

Gao Yang frowned and asked, "Do you know Polovich?"

"Of course, a few of Grand Ivan’s key figures are well-known, so of course I know him. Unfortunately, the Aricans also know him. If there’s any advantage to Polovich coming to Kiev, it’s that he’ll attract all the attention. While no one’s paying attention to you, you better make a run for it."

After Hagel slowly finished speaking, he quickly changed the subject, speaking sternly, "I can’t leave yet. If I were to run, it would have to be under normal circumstances. Now, it’s ti for you to fulfill your responsibility. You need to protect my family and ensure they leave Ukraine safely. Tell , you’re not going to abandon your responsibility, are you?"
