Mercenary's War-Chapter 2010 - 1987: Big Brother

Given Satan’s current situation, he can’t just leave on a whim.

The bigger the operation, the more things there are to handle. There are transitions with the Angel Mercenary Corps after the battle, and explanations needed with Ivan and Uriyangko, and so on and so forth. Handling these trivial tasks means it won’t be until the next day before they’re done.

Even then, leaving isn’t an option. Just dealing with the passports and visas for Satan’s members will keep Little Donnie busy for quite a while. Rebrov is heading to Moscow, and Peter is going to America, so both of their passports need to be made. And as for the Black Demon’s group, their identity issues need resolving. Whether they’re heading to America or Yemen, they still need a legitimate identity.

In the current state of Satan, it’s a small group, but it’s a purely multinational corporation, so these days, Little Donnie is the busiest.

Satan’s crew first arrived in Kiev and waited for two days. During that time, Gao Yang found time to meet with Poloneshenko along with Uriyangko and Ivan, and naturally, Arseny as well. When he left Ukraine, these top-level connections in Ukraine were handed over to Grand Ivan.

Sometimes, thinking about it, Gao Yang even found it unbelievable that he could sit and talk at the same level as a country’s president. For someone in the Underworld, this makes him quite the power figure.

In Kiev, Gao Yang naturally had to have a word with Shava.

Shava, the leader of the White Shark Gang, a bumpkin who rose from the very bottom, still exudes a lingering rustic air, but now, who would dare underestimate this big shot who controls all of Kiev? His extremely hoarse voice is no longer a source of mockery but rather a fearsome characteristic of a major figure.

However, in front of Gao Yang, Shava remained very courteous, reminding himself constantly not to get carried away in front of the person who propped him up.

Shava no longer meets Gao Yang in nightclubs. He finally realized that for a big man, high class isn’t found in nightclubs or bars.

In a mansion comparable to a palace, after inviting Gao Yang to sit, Shava sat next to him and smiled, "You’re leaving, aren’t you?"

Gao Yang nodded, smiling, "Yes, I’ll be leaving soon, Shava."

"Go ahead."

Gao Yang was silent for a moment, waved his hand to indicate that Shava’s people should leave, then leaned slightly forward and said to Shava, "Your status has changed now. You have people protecting you, and you have the highest level of protection from Ukraine. But I must tell you, don’t get carried away, don’t think that everything you have now is a given and won’t change."

Shava paused for a moment, then said in a low voice, "I understand, boss. I know who gave me all this."

Gao Yang shook his hand, smiling, "You’ve misunderstood, truly. I’m not reminding you to remain respectful to me. Shava, we’re friends, we’re brothers. After I leave, I might never come back. No matter how well you develop in Ukraine, it has nothing to do with me because my business isn’t here. Even if I wanted to do business in Ukraine, I have partners stronger than you. Do you understand?"

Shava nodded, then with some confusion said, "I understand, then are you..."

Gao Yang reached out to pat Shava, but the couch was too big, so Shava leaned forward a bit. Gao Yang gave a wry smile, patted Shava’s arm, and said in a low voice, "You, you’re a good person, a good friend, so I don’t want to treat you just as someone to use. Remember, no matter what status you achieve, keep a humble heart because there are people in this world you and I can’t afford to offend. You’ve risen too quickly, without a strong foundation, so you need to have a sense of crisis, be ready to give everything up because I don’t want to suddenly hear news of your demise."

Shava let out a long breath, nodded, and said, "Thank you, boss. I understand, boss. I just wanted to provide a stable life for myself and my poor brothers, never thought I’d get this far. I’ll be careful."

Gao Yang nodded, took out a piece of paper with a phone number from his pocket, and said in a low voice, "Remember this number. If there comes a day when you encounter insurmountable difficulties, call me. Don’t let anyone else know about this number."

Shava took the piece of paper, moved, and said, "I’ll remember."

Gao Yang smiled, "Now that you have money, don’t always think about pleasure or just Ukraine. Go to Western Europe, to America, make some investments, buy some properties, so if you want to leave in the future, you’ll have somewhere to go. Remember, plan an exit strategy for you and your poor brothers early."

Shava exhaled, saying in a low voice, "Will you really never come back?"

Gao Yang shrugged, smiled, "Who knows, but unless something major happens, I certainly won’t be back. I’m very busy, with many things waiting for me to handle."

Shava nodded, saying in a low voice, "I have something for you, please wait a moment."

Shava rose and left, then returned, struggling with a large box. He placed the box in front of Gao Yang and opened it, revealing colorful bills inside.

Shava said sincerely, "There’s money inside."

"Uh, I can see that."

Shava scratched his head and said in a low voice, "I know you don’t lack money, but you’ve always given me money. This time, since you’re leaving, I’ve gathered all the cash, a total of 1,000,000, both US Dollars and Euros. I hope you will take this money when you leave."

Gao Yang said in surprise, "You’re making money pretty fast."

Shava grinned, "In all honesty, I never knew earning money in all Kiev could be this easy. I don’t quite understand how to safely give you money through the bank, so I still trust cash. In the future, I’ll make sure you get your share each year, I promise."

Looking at the large box of cash, Gao Yang smiled, "Alright, I’ll accept it. But brother, you should find a professional for wealth management and money laundering. Using cash all the time is not a good idea."

Shava rubbed his hands and smiled, "I’m learning, I’m learning, and I’m also looking for such a person, but trustworthy ones are hard to find."

Gao Yang nodded, thought for a moment, then said to Shava, "In the future, forget about my share, but you should give a portion to my friend. You know whom I’m talking about. Perhaps the person he assigns in Ukraine will change, but as long as he is there, your safety will be ensured. Hmm, give twenty percent of your income to my friend, ten percent to people like Poloneshenko, that should be about right."

Shava immediately replied, "Rest assured, I know what to do. I don’t want to say too much unnecessary stuff, but I promise you will receive a bonus each year. Also, if there’s anything I can help with, please inform me, big brother."
