Everything is over.

The Black Demon successfully killed Frank, so, regardless of what Justin does next, it’s all over for Satan.

Right now, Gao Yang’s biggest feeling is not happiness, but relaxation, an incomparable relaxation.

Indeed, there are still many things waiting for Satan to do, but Gao Yang feels they must take a break for a while. Being too tense all the time is unbearable, so even if things in Yemen are urgent, he must give everyone a holiday.

It can’t be for too long, but taking a ten-day to half-month break is not a problem.

Everyone returned to their own homes and would gather again when it’s time to act, but Yuri couldn’t rest. As a newcomer lacking in many aspects, he had to go back to Somalia with Yarebin and undergo training.

Most people headed to America. Eileen had stayed at home for quite a long time recently, so she was going to America to relax as well.

They boarded the plane, with the first stop in New York. Now in New York, Gao Yang and the others no longer need to stay in hotels because they have bought their own houses.

They first visited Glolov’s home. Natalia was as warm as ever, but Yelena wasn’t home; she was still at school.

Gao Yang didn’t disturb Glolov and his wife’s reunion time and returned to his own home, or practically, the house he bought.

Gao Yang always believed that an empty house can’t be called a home; only with family is it a home, without family, it’s just a house.

Upon returning to his house, it was clear that someone regularly cleaned it; the entire house was spotless, but because it was so clean, Gao Yang actually felt uneasy about stepping inside.

He put the large bag he brought back on the coffee table and, after dazing off on the sofa alone for a while, finally took out his satellite phone. He searched a number from the address book, then took out a spare phone from the bag and dialed according to the contact book.

When someone answered, Gao Yang whispered, "It’s me, can you recognize my voice?"

"Yes, I can. Go ahead."

Gao Yang exhaled and said softly, "When will my dad and mom’s issues be resolved? It’s been quite a while."

The person on the other end sighed and said with a bitter smile, "Honestly, three or four months is really not that long. You must understand that some matters can’t just be handled by ourselves. Your situation is a special case, given expedited processing. No one intends to procrastinate on it, but too many people know about your case, it’s quite influential, and local matters always take a bit of time to handle properly."

Gao Yang was silent for a moment, then said in a low voice, "I’ve already given you everything possible. You should know my stance and how I’ve been cooperating. I just want to ask, are you all holding my mom and dad as hostages? Otherwise, I can’t believe such a small matter isn’t resolved yet."

The person on the other end immediately got serious and said sternly, "Thinking like that is a big mistake. I won’t preach to you, let’s be straightforward. Building a good relationship with you makes more sense than holding your parents as hostages. Do you think we are fools? Plus, think for us, what good does it do us to hold your parents as hostages? If you can point out just one benefit, then okay, I’ll admit to mishandling things with ulterior motives."

Gao Yang sighed and said, "I’m sorry, I’m just really anxious."

The person on the other end also sighed and said, "Brother, I’m telling you once more, if you don’t insist on smoothing out your issues completely, I can arrange your parents’ safe transport right away, wherever you say. This isn’t illegal immigration. I’ll get them all the proper documents, and they will be legal immigrants wherever they go. Just say the word, and after we hang up, I’ll get it done!"

Gao Yang said without hesitation, "No."

After firmly refusing, Gao Yang sighed and said, "It’s not that I’m being difficult; it’s just that I can’t let them leave like this. These two years have been tough for my parents; everyone knows their son is a fugitive murderer."

Swallowing hard, Gao Yang raised his voice and said, "If I let them leave quietly under concealed identities, they will never get over it until they die. I just want them to leave openly, tell everyone they’re going abroad to reunite with their son, and still be able to return to their homeland, see whoever they want, and live with dignity. Let them hold their heads high among friends and family and ensure that when they’re gone, they can finally rest in our ancestral tomb."

The person on the other end smiled wryly and said, "Brother, you’ve thought quite far ahead. Let me clarify, I’m speaking without ulterior motives as a friend. Do you consider me your friend? Take my advice as from a friend: you did kill those people, and no one’s falsely accusing you. I say just reunite with your family soon. Nowadays, why adhere to all these formalities? Does sticking to these principles make sense?"

Gao Yang stiffened his neck and said, "It makes sense. Others might not care, I might not care, but my mom cares."

"Alright then, let me give you some real talk. I’ve already reported your matter to my superiors. It was a joint application from our working group, and it took considerable effort. There were significant disagreements, but ultimately, they agreed to your terms. We had no choice—your value is too high. Look, no one is a fool here. So rest assured, we will meet your conditions, but you can’t rush this; it’s truly not something that can be rushed."

Gao Yang exhaled again and said, "Alright, I’ll wait a little longer. Also, this concerns three people—Rabbit and Li Jin’s situations—any progress?"

"There is progress with Li Jin’s case. They’ve agreed to reinstate his military status and honor, but how to proceed needs further study. It won’t take long, a month, maybe two at most, and you’ll have a definite answer. As for Rabbit’s, it’s similar to yours. You two will likely be resolved simultaneously."

Gao Yang sighed and said, "Alright, that’s all for now. Goodbye."

After hanging up the phone, Gao Yang looked at the empty house, sighed, checked his watch to calculate the time difference, then picked up his phone and dialed another number. Once connected, he spoke in a very relaxed tone: "Hey, Mom, it’s me. It’s still a bit early. Are you up yet?"

"Yangyang, why couldn’t I reach you recently? Is everything okay?"

Gao Yang laughed lightly and said, "I’m fine. Why wouldn’t I be? I’ve just been busy lately. I just went to Chile for business and stayed there for a while. My old number is expensive to use there. Didn’t I mention it? If you can’t reach that number, it just means I’m traveling again. Don’t worry and stop scaring yourself. Where’s Dad?"
