Capítulo 1635: Chapter 1614: Returning a Favor
The use of favors shouldn’t be overused, for if used too much, no matter how deep the bond, it will thin out.
With Grand Ivan, there’s no need to say it, because Grand Ivan owes Gao Yang a great favor, and it’s a big one. Initially, Gao Yang and Grand Ivan were business partners, and they still are, so Gao Yang never owed anything to Grand Ivan. Later on, Gao Yang genuinely saved Grand Ivan’s life and that of his nephew Ivan. These debts of gratitude that Grand Ivan owes haven’t been repaid yet, and now, Gao Yang is the one sustaining Grand Ivan’s Arms Empire through hardship. Therefore, even if Gao Yang decides to let go, he can confidently stand in front of Grand Ivan and expect a ‘thank you.’
As for Gao Yang’s relationship with Morgan, it’s quite unique. There’s a debt of life-saving gratitude and intertwined interests. Since Gao Yang saved Morgan on the plains of South Sudan, it’s beco unclear who owes whom.
Gao Yang saved Morgan’s life and Bob’s life, but the help Morgan provided to Gao Yang is, to be honest, imnse. And every ti Morgan gains a benefit from Gao Yang, he finds every possible way to repay it, simply because he doesn’t want to owe too much of a favor.
As their relationship deepened, Morgan no longer needed to repay Gao Yang for every favor. From the mont Morgan started introducing Gao Yang to the upper echelons of Arican society, he cleared all previous debts.
Recently, during Satan’s crises, Gao Yang realized that Morgan was the only person he could trust to take care of his affairs. Whether or not Morgan took Gao Yang’s portion of the diamond mine as gratitude, Gao Yang owed Morgan an enormous favor. Why? Because the trouble he caused was trendous; even having Morgan just protect the families of Satan’s mbers entailed great risk. For Morgan, who was not lacking in money, no amount of money would make any difference, so it all ca down to the bond between them.
Besides, Morgan never ntioned taking Gao Yang’s part of the diamond mine.
Why did Gao Yang value Morgan’s gun so much? Because besides this gun, Morgan had nothing else he desired.
To repay Morgan’s favor, to ensure Satan continues to have a solid backing in Arica, and most importantly, to guarantee that if Satan’s mbers die, their families will not have to worry about surviving, Gao Yang must personally deliver the gun to Morgan.
Now, the gun was in hand.
The only thing Gao Yang needed to consider was how to deliver the gun to Morgan as quickly as possible.
Gao Yang took hold of the gun case, opened it, and inspected the shotgun wrapped in its gun cloth. After confirming there were no dents or damages, he placed the gun back into the gun cloth and then into the best gun case.
Having done all this, Gao Yang looked up at Number Thirteen and Taylor, saying, “You two go to the east to look after the brothers. Karima and I are heading to Arica. We’ll leave as soon as Little Donnie arranges everything for us.”
Taylor said, “Isn’t it that Arica is recently very strict with flights from Ukraine?”
Gao Yang smiled and said, “Yes, it’s strict, so the batch of treasures can’t be transported to Arica this ti. But it’s okay; I’m only bringing one gun. I’ll just say it’s my collection, and at worse, go through formal customs, and Little Donnie can easily forge a collection certificate. Right now, I’m mainly concerned about getting the gun on the plane. If airport inspections are strict, we’ll need to think of a plan. If Poloneshenko’s influence isn’t that significant, it’ll be simpler. With a private jet, the checks won’t be too strict, and we can just board and leave.”
Number Thirteen checked his watch and said, “When are you leaving? I think you’d better depart as soon as possible. Since there’s no problem on both sides, leave now, and I’ll handle matters here.”
Gao Yang shook his head and laughed, “No, we still have to wait for Little Donnie to settle everything properly. I can’t take any risks now. With this gun, I’ve beco a lot more cautious.”
After speaking, Gao Yang clapped his hands and said, “Alright, we’re done with our matters. Taylor, secure the USB drive, erase any traces on the computer. It’s ti to discuss with Shava how to split the spoils. He’s been waiting.”
In the outside lounge, Shava was animatedly chatting with Karima. Seeing Gao Yang and the others co out, Shava imdiately stood up, smiling, “Big Brother.”
Gao Yang waved his hand and smiled, “What were you talking about that made you so happy?”
Shava laughed heartily, overwhelmingly joyful, “We were talking about liquor. Sister-in-law is really knowledgeable about drinks, she taught a lot. Now I know that vodka has so many intricacies. The next ti I drink, ha, I definitely won’t let anyone think I’m a country bumpkin.”
Taylor was taken aback by Shava’s calling Karima ‘sister-in-law’. After a mont, he glanced awkwardly at Number Thirteen, while Number Thirteen, after being montarily stunned, broke into a full smile, seemingly finding Shava much more agreeable. Karima could only respond with a wry smile.
Gao Yang laughed and said, “You’ve gained quite a bit this ti, but I must tell you, the liquor from the cellar, you’d better drink it yourself. Don’t show it off to any outsiders unless you want the President to find out you emptied his wine cellar.”
Shava exaggeratedly said, “Drink it myself, I’d have to drink for a long ti! Over six hundred bottles! All sorts of liquors, but of course, I’m willing to slowly and secretly drink with trusted brothers until it’s all gone. You’re right, I don’t want the President knocking on my door, ha.”
Gao Yang nodded, smiled, and said, “Later, I’ll transfer one million US dollars to you, don’t refuse, and distribute it to the participating brothers. I gained a lot this ti, so I can’t be stingy. Additionally, those things might need storing at your place for a while. Do you have a reliable place?”
Shava thought for a mont, then nodded and said, “Yes, rest assured, it’s safe. By the ti you co to collect them, they’ll all still be there and in good condition.”
Gao Yang smiled, “Very good, I’m counting on you. Moreover, it’d be best if you keep a low profile for a while. The people who used to be able to help you might not be as reliable as before, so it’s better to observe for so ti, watch the situation, and if anything changes…”
Before Gao Yang could finish, his phone rang. The call was from Little Donnie. After apologizing, Gao Yang answered the call and imdiately heard Little Donnie say in a low voice, “It’s all set. Fly directly to Portland as you said. Everything on the ground is arranged. But you absolutely can’t bring any other weapons, just that one gun, nothing else. The checks are very strict now, really strict.”
Checking his watch, Gao Yang imdiately smiled and said, “Got it, there are still so minor matters to handle here. It won’t take long; I’ll be flying out tonight. Get ready to receive .” (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welco to vote for it on Qidian (qidian). Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please read on m.qidian.)
