Gao Yang was truly exhausted, so after lying down, he quickly fell asleep. When he was woken up, he realized he was lying on a mat, covered with a piece of clothing.
He opened his eyes and found the sky was already bright. He looked at Li Jinfang squatting in front of him, sat up suddenly, rubbed his face, and whispered, "How long did I sleep? Why didn’t you wake earlier?"
Li Jinfang whispered, "You slept from two till eight, six hours. I knew you were exhausted, so didn’t wake you. But didn’t you say to notify you as soon as we had news about the Prince? The surgery is over now—Andy He said he could survive, but the Prince’s lost an arm."
Gao Yang let out a long breath and laughed, "He survived? That’s good, really good that he’s alive!"
Li Jinfang continued, "The secret force people are back, a few were injured, got intercepted during the withdrawal, but managed well."
Gao Yang waved his hand, speaking grimly, "I guess destiny didn’t abandon us this ti. But how co Nate doesn’t understand the situation? So many people risked their lives for them, and now, can’t even show themselves."
Li Jinfang paused, then whispered, "Still in the bath, hasn’t co out yet."
Gao Yang was shocked and shouted, "Bathing for this long? F**k, are these bastards sick or what?"
Li Jinfang shook his head, speaking softly, "Heard Nate got here yesterday and imdiately collapsed. Couldn’t even be helped up. Eventually, soone tossed him into the pool."
Gao Yang was more shocked and shouted, "What happened? Injured?"
Li Jinfang coughed twice, his face full of helplessness, "Ivan said last night the whole Angel who could move were puking as they walked, walking as they puked, the sll was indescribable; Nate held out without throwing up, made everyone think he was a tough guy, then he just collapsed and fell, never woke up, got knocked out by the stench."
Gao Yang blankly stared for a mont, then laughed and cried out, "Serves him right! Let him show off!"
Laughing while saying, Gao Yang patted his pockets, rembering he didn’t carry anything extra, quickly said, "Anyone got food? I’m starving."
Glolov tossed him a piece of compressed biscuit. This ti, Gao Yang didn’t mind its taste, opened the package and began chewing.
Just after finishing the biscuit, the Angel folks finally showed up. Soone Gao Yang knew, wearing shorts, a T-shirt on top, and so random shoes found sowhere, walked unsteadily to Gao Yang and saluted, "General, our Captain invites you over."
Gao Yang brushed off crumbs from the biscuit, stood up, returned the salute casually, and pointed at the inviter, "Your Captain’s alright?"
"He’s fine, thank you."
Gao Yang followed the inviter, quickly eting Alexander and gastar, who were resting nearby, also brought over by Angel folks, as well as Koval’s brother Wild. Except for the injured Monkey, all rcenary Group leaders were invited, but no one else besides leaders.
Seeing Gao Yang, gastar ran over from afar, raised a hand, and slapped palms hard with Gao Yang, loudly, "Nicely done! Buddy! Heard you knocked Iron Madonna and Angel out with the stink? Look at them, simply delightful! Buddy, you’ve got a genius brain!"
The faces of two Angel people turned green, Gao Yang felt too embarrassed to follow gastar’s lead, so he just laughed and said, "You guys did well too, took out the enemy’s artillery positions."
gastar seed incredibly excited all the way, but upon seeing Nate dressed in a German army vest and shorts, he couldn’t stop laughing.
Under a big tree, there was a round table with five chairs, Nate stood beside the table with hands behind his back, looking incredibly serious, standing tall, while Wizard stood slightly behind Nate, similarly serious.
Nate’s deanor was very serious, but upon closer inspection, his austere expression and upright stance looked sowhat funny because he was bloated from soaking, and the skin exposed outside his clothes was rubbed red.
Nate’s expression naturally steadfast, but when he clamped his mouth tight and stood solemnly, he looked even more resolute, and when Gao Yang and team arrived in front of him, Nate finally raised his hands from behind to salute Gao Yang.
Gao Yang returned the salute seriously, and during their handshake, he noticed Nate’s hand was particularly rough, pruned from soaking.
Alexander smiled, while gastar and Wild both had expressions of schadenfreude, eager to watch a good show.
After shaking hands with Gao Yang, Nate retrieved his hand and spoke earnestly, "Thank you."
After thanking Gao Yang, Nate motioned toward the group in front of him, "Please, sit."
gastar imdiately objected; he provocatively gazed at Nate and loudly said, "Mad Wolf, we et again, and you seem yet to thank . Didn’t show gratitude for saving your lives, that’s not cool."
Nate extended his hand with a snap, pointed at Gao Yang, earnestly, "He ca to rescue , your aim was to eliminate Iron Madonna, so there’s no particular gratitude for you. Though, I can offer a cup of coffee. If that’s not enough, you may leave now."
Gao Yang now understood why Angel’s people had poor relations. If he were gastar, he’d throw a punch at Nate, who should act indebted yet cos off like the savior, what’s with the attitude?
Alexander laughed, drew out a chair, sat down, looked at Nate, and said with a smile, "Just in ti, I could use a coffee."
gastar pointed at Nate, wearing a mischievous grin, "You thought I’d leave? No, I’m staying to savor your suffering expression."
Wild sat down directly, looked at Nate loudly, "Bring us the coffee as gratitude now."
Nate sat down and surveyed around, ultimately his gaze settled on Gao Yang. He imdiately asked, "What the hell was that stuff you used last night?"
Gao Yang coughed lightly, shrugged, "Well, King of Stink Bombs, just stink, no aftermath effects, relax."
Nate raised his right hand, pointing the index finger at Gao Yang, wanted to intensify his tone when speaking, but after holding it up and pointing at Gao Yang for a while, Nate finally lowered his hand, speaking muffled and low, "Never use it again."
