Chapter 1575: Chapter 1554: Professional Scapegoat
Gao Yang could tell that Nate was truly in pain.
The strongest impression that Nate left on Gao Yang was his calmness. No matter the ti, place, or situation, Nate always appeared calm and confident. But now, Nate was showing a vulnerable side of himself.
There was nothing to be done; the psychological blow Nate received was too great.
Gao Yang looked up at the helicopter in the sky, then looked at Nate with a smile and said, “You are wrong, that’s why you can’t beco a legend.”
Nate laughed and said loudly, “Oh? Do tell.”
Gao Yang smiled and said, “I’m good with a gun, that’s why I’m the Gun God, but you know, I’ve always envied you. I wish I could command like you, with the sa composure, the sense of control over everything, but I can’t learn it. If a rcenary group is a symphony orchestra, then you are the conductor, and I am just one of the musicians.”
Nate spread his hands and said, “I thought you had so profound insights.”
Gao Yang shook his head and said, “No, listen to . I said you were wrong, and that’s that. In many aspects, if you hadn’t co, we might have perished. But you ca, you saved .”
Nate said impatiently, “Are you comforting ? Do you think I need your comfort? Are you trying to say next that Angel saved you, so Angel is also part of the legend?”
Gao Yang said helplessly, “No, I never think you need comfort. Besides, you guessed wrong. What I want to say is, haven’t you realized why Satan has beco the legend you speak of?”
Nate furrowed his brows deeply and said in a deep voice, “Why!”
“Simple, Satan has many friends.”
Nate said disdainfully, “What kind of bullshit reason is that!”
Gao Yang waved his finger and said, “You’re terribly wrong. Be quiet now and listen to . First, without Black Demon, we would be finished. Annihilating Butter Knife was a joint effort of Black Demon and Satan. Then, when Satan was almost wiped out, we needed doctors, dicine, and blood plasma. I made a call, and my friends brought them to us. We needed protection for evacuation, and my friends brought many people to help us. Look, the people on the ground on the periter are them. They blocked the attack for us. Without them, I wouldn’t be here now either. Then, the enemy brought tanks, and our equipnt couldn’t hold up. At this crucial mont, you ca, Angel descended, so Satan remained with no casualties. Tell , if any part of this chain were missing, would I have a chance to sit here and drink coffee with you?”
Nate opened his mouth and then said coldly, “Are you lecturing ?”
Gao Yang said impatiently, “Don’t pull this on . I’m just speaking reason. Listen up, regardless of whether you admit it or not, the Angel rcenary Corps acts as Satan’s friend. Don’t try to deny it. You just said Butter Knife is symbolic of Arica’s power. They are the picks among thousands. They have all the most advanced equipnt and the best training. Butter Knife is strong because behind Butter Knife is the most powerful country as their backing. Do you think there’s any rcenary group that could win against such a force?”
Nate said in a deep voice, “Of course, it’s Butter Knife. A rcenary group is not worthy to be Butter Knife’s enemy. Butter Knife’s enemy should be a nation. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have viewed it as a miracle that you guys annihilated Butter Knife.”
Gao Yang laughed and said, “Last ti we t, you asked to help build a brigade for the people you were supporting. This matter has a lead. These days, hurry up and get it done. Additionally, I want to say that when you seek my help, it’s not really help; you just take as a cooperative target you can utilize. When I seek your help, it is genuinely asking for help to save lives. If you had refused tonight, I’d truly believe you couldn’t make it.”
After speaking, Gao Yang imdiately added, “Fighting against a system requires a system. I have the world’s largest arms dealer backing . I have many strong friends to help through the post-war fragile period. That’s why Satan can beco a living legend. If you were to fight this war, even if Angel annihilated Butter Knife, Angel would be entirely wiped out in the following battles. So even if Angel becos the legend, it is a dead legend, and dead people don’t get to proclaim their achievents. Therefore, Angel ultimately cannot beco a legend either. Don’t rush to refute , think about whether what I said is true.”
Nate remained silent for a long ti and finally said in a deep voice, “I won’t change my principles and thoughts, never.”
Nate had already acknowledged Gao Yang’s correctness because the facts were evident, but he wasn’t prepared to change.
Gao Yang sighed and said, “Angel can’t beco a legend because you think about how to die gloriously, whereas I, and my brothers in Satan, think about how to survive. We all want to survive, so no matter what difficulties we encounter, even if cornered, we will never give up. But you think about how to die gloriously. I guess, if you encountered Butter Knife with the Angel you lead, maybe you would be happy to go down together with Butter Knife. I do not know if my guess is correct, but if I am not wrong, this is the problem.”
Nate once again fell silent.
Amid the battlefield where guns roared, Gao Yang and Nate sat in the eye of the storm, quietly drinking coffee.
After a long while, Nate suddenly smiled, and said in a deep voice, “Sorry, I got a bit emotional earlier.”
Gao Yang nodded and said, “I could tell.”
Nate returned to that calm and confident Nate. He smiled and said, “I seriously thought about it, and what you said indeed makes a lot of sense.”
Gao Yang shrugged, and Nate smiled and said, “But I’ve decided not to change because there’s no need. Angel is Angel because we are Angel; we don’t need friends, never needed them before, and won’t need them in the future.”
Gao Yang sighed and said, “Suit yourself, I didn’t expect to change you. If a few words from could change your mind, then you wouldn’t be Mad Wolf.”
Nate smiled and said, “This ti you made it big by annihilating Butter Knife. The Aricans will not tolerate it. How are you planning to wrap this up? Now Satan becos Arica’s target for full pursuit. Can you bear such a consequence?”
Gao Yang shrugged and said, “It wasn’t my intention to escalate it this big. Co on, if I could run, I would’ve long ago, rather than fighting Butter Knife. As for the consequences, of course, I can’t bear it.”
Nate laughed and said, “Then what are you going to do?”
Gao Yang laughed and said, “Find a scapegoat, find soone to take the bla. Grand Ivan is the big head. The target Arica wants to find is still Grand Ivan. If they want to find out who exactly took out Butter Knife, I’ve already got a scapegoat ready.”
Nate looked surprised and said, “Who?”
Gao Yang pointed at Nate, smiled and said, “You.” (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welco to vote recomndation tickets and monthly tickets at qidian, your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile users, please go to m.qidian to read.)
