202: Chapter 200 Rabbit, You Are Destined to Be Alone Forever!
“Agent?
What agent?”
Gao Yang was a bit confused by Morgan’s words, but Morgan soon cleared up his confusion.
“Just like those agents for celebrities, except he specifically services mercenaries and security firms.
Think of him as a combination of an intelligence broker and an arms dealer.
He can get you gigs, help you launder money, and send you to any corner of the world.
All you have to do is pay him a commission.”
“There’s such a good thing?
The only question is, can he be trusted?”
“For an agent, a good reputation is more important than his abilities.
You don’t need to worry about reliability.
Hmm, I’m not part of your circle, so I don’t understand the ins and outs of your business.
It’s also my first time hearing about mercenaries and agents, but a good friend of mine told me about this.
He’s the one who informed me of all these details.
If you’re interested, I can have my friend set up an appointment for you to talk in person.
My advice, though, is that you’ve got enough money to switch careers.
I think you should consider my suggestion.”
Gao Yang smiled and said, “I’ll think about changing careers after I understand what’s up with the agent.
Morgan, could you help me set up a meeting with that agent?”
Morgan sighed and said, “I really don’t know if I’m helping you or harming you.
Besides, I should be able to get you a meeting with the agent, but that doesn’t necessarily mean he’ll take an interest in your Mercenary Group.
So, you’d better prepare yourself mentally.
Alright, if you’re sure you want to meet the agent, I’ll have someone arrange it for you.
Just wait for my call.”
After waiting for Morgan to hang up the phone, Gao Yang turned his attention back to Yelena.
Seeing Yelena looking as if she wanted to say something but hesitated, Gao Yang chuckled and said, “Yelena, you don’t need to worry about money for me.
The truth is we’re not short on cash.
Although it’s not enough to live like millionaires, we don’t have to worry about our future lives.”
After a moment’s hesitation, Glolov said in a grave voice, “Babe, accept Gao’s gift.
I think he’d prefer you to accept the gift rather than worry about money for him.
Besides, Dad really does have money now, I promise you and Mom won’t have to worry about making a living ever again.”
With a sorrowful look, Yelena shook her head and said, “No, it’s not about the money that worries me, it’s about you guys.
I’d rather be poor like before than have you keep being mercenaries.
I think if you have money now, you can completely switch to another job.
Dad, Yang, I’m really worried about you guys.
I worry about you every second of every day.
I can give up anything, and I’m not trying to keep Yang tied to me.
I know men should have their own careers, but, but all I want is for you to be safe, I don’t care about anything else.”
Natalia wiped her tears and said, “I’m sorry, this is a matter for you men, and maybe we shouldn’t say too much, but I think Yelena is right.
We don’t care about how much money we have, I just want to live a normal life.
Yuri, maybe you really should think about retiring.”
The words from Yelena and Natalia left everyone speechless.
What Yelena said also made perfect sense—if the objective of fighting wars was for money, then why keep fighting once there’s plenty of it?
There is only one answer to this question: the money is still not enough.
Seeing that everyone, including Glolov, remained silent, Gao Yang knew that their thoughts were the same as his own.
Getting used to being poor and then suddenly having a lot of money, especially feeling the relief of not having to worry about money anymore, would inflate anyone’s ambitions or desires.
Gao Yang also thought that life was more important than money.
No matter how much money one had, it was pointless without life to enjoy it.
He used to be content with just enough for basic needs, but now, after acquiring a farm, he pondered buying a nice car for himself, or even a helicopter wouldn’t be too bad—after all, small helicopters weren’t out of reach for a farmer in the United States.
Additionally, Gao Yang wanted the freedom to travel to any corner of the world on a whim, to leave enough money for his parents that they couldn’t spend in several lifetimes, and to have the financial ability to afford his hobbies and dreams.
In the end, Gao Yang wanted to become a real wealthy person.
Although he had a few million in his bank account, that amount was far from what would be considered wealthy.
Money only has meaning when it’s spent, but right now, just by purchasing a Stradivari violin, Gao Yang had seen his savings decrease by nearly an eighth.
If he were to spend all the money in the bank and convert it into necessities of life, he would at best be considered middle class in America.
For Gao Yang, he couldn’t think of a job more lucrative than being a mercenary at the moment, so unless he considered himself sufficiently wealthy, he wouldn’t just call it quits.
Besides money, there was an extremely important reason—Gao Yang discovered that he enjoyed the thrilling life he was living now.
Gao Yang looked at Yelena with a tender expression and softly said, “Darling, I know you worry about us, but look, we’ve been alright until now, haven’t we?
You don’t need to worry about us.
If we think a mission is too dangerous, we will naturally give it up.
We’ve made a promise that on the day you graduate, I’ll come back to marry you and retire from this profession, alright?”
Yelena looked at Glolov and bit her lip tightly, refusing to speak, while Natalia also kept her head down in silence.
At that moment, Glolov softly said, “Natalia, and my dear daughter, Gao is right.
Look at me, I’ve been a mercenary for so many years, and I’m still fine, aren’t I?
Don’t worry, I know how to take care of myself.
And of course, there’s Gao too.
There’s no need to worry about our safety.
Alright, just as Gao said, when Yelena graduates, we will leave this line of work, okay?”
Natalia just sighed, and although it was clear that she was reluctant, she didn’t speak a word.
Yelena, however, wore a face full of worry.
Gao Yang, seeing the situation was not good, immediately smiled and said, “Come on, dear, give me a smile.
I wanted to give you a surprise, and yet it seems I’ve made you so distressed instead.
I really deserve to die.”
Yelena hurriedly said, “No, please don’t talk like that.
Remembering me and putting your heart into all this for me, I’m truly very happy.
I just, I just don’t want you to take risks anymore.”
Gao Yang immediately asked, “So do you like this violin?
Tell me the truth, do you like it?
Don’t lie to me!”
Yelena hesitated for a long time before finally nodding gently.
“Very good, now give me a smile to see.
If I can’t see your smile, I will be very sad.”
With tears in her eyes, Yelena glanced at Gao Yang, then wiping away a tear, she said with a tearful smile, “Idiot, of course I like this violin.
A Stradivari violin is something any violinist would dream of having, and this violin’s name is Future Star.
But none of that is important, the important thing is that you gave it to me.
Just that fact alone is enough.
So whether you give me a violin that’s worth a fortune or an inexpensive mass-produced one really doesn’t matter.
Don’t you understand that, idiot?
You don’t need to move my heart by giving me expensive gifts.
I’m already yours.
You still doing this is really wasteful.”
Gao Yang took one of Yelena’s small hands, and said tenderly with affection, “You’re such an adorable fool.
Who would ever complain about her boyfriend giving her an expensive gift and call him wasteful?
You’re not allowed to say such things anymore.
Actually, how much this violin costs really isn’t important.
The important thing is I couldn’t find any other violin that could match you.
Dear, in my heart, only this violin is worthy of you.
Thinking of you, with your beautiful hands, playing on a violin not worthy of your touch, oh my, I can’t even bear to imagine that scene.
Can you imagine a beautiful and noble princess, waving a torn rag instead of a handkerchief in front of a large audience?”
Yelena let out a giggle and then suddenly hugged Gao Yang’s neck, almost smothering him, and Yelena’s body nearly collapsed onto Gao Yang’s.
Feeling Yelena’s curvaceous figure, Gao Yang, while enjoying the wonderful touch, naturally extended his hand and gently stroked Yelena’s back.
Gao Yang had previously heard others say these tender and affectionate words and would only feel nauseated and disgusted, surely getting goosebumps all over.
But now, speaking what he thought were disgusting words came without any embarrassment, without needing anyone to teach him or to practice, and a string of cheesy sweet nothings flowed out naturally.
This made Gao Yang feel surprised, and at the same time, quite proud of his own words.
While Gao Yang was immersed in sweetness and pride, he heard Cui Bo cough heavily, then, in a serious tone and with a stern voice, he loudly said in Chinese, “Brother Yang, I didn’t see it coming, you’ve really got some tricks up your sleeve, but you’d better look at Old Russian’s face now.”
Gao Yang glanced at Glolov and discovered that Glolov’s eyes were practically shooting fire, staring at him ferociously.
Gao Yang was startled but also confused; considering the straightforward and fiery nature of the warrior nation, he didn’t think he’d said or done anything too outrageous.
Plus, Glolov had openly acknowledged his romantic relationship with Yelena.
But recalling the sentence Yelena once said, “I’m all yours now,” Gao Yang immediately understood where the problem lay.
After his sudden realization, Gao Yang immediately raised his hands and blurted out to Glolov in a frantic tone, “I swear, I haven’t done anything.”
Glolov looked furious, but Natalia was somewhat stunned by Gao Yang’s words.
However, upon seeing Glolov’s expression, Natalia quickly returned to her warrior nation instincts.
She gently placed her hand on Glolov’s waist, then twisted it viciously.
This time, Glolov couldn’t hold back and howled in agony.
With her hand still twisting Glolov’s, Natalia’s face showed envy as she looked at Gao Yang and said in an incredibly tender voice, “Such touching sincerity, I’ve never heard such heartfelt words before.”
After speaking, her hand twisted even harder, causing Glolov to scream in pain once more.
Then, Natalia said tenderly, “Don’t worry, this is just a father not willing to admit that his daughter has grown up.
Every father who loves his daughter goes through this complex, maybe you should go out for a walk, so as to not provoke a certain old man who can’t face reality.”
Gao Yang didn’t know what complex Glolov had, but Yelena became shy again and let go of Gao Yang.
However, she still kept her hand on Gao Yang’s waist, unwilling to move it.
Just then, Cui Bo once again shouted in Chinese, “Brother Yang, I can’t imagine you’d say such cheesy things too, and with just a few words, you’ve got Yelena ready to throw herself into your arms, impressive!
You’ve really kept it hidden, Brother Yang.”
Gao Yang glared hard at Cui Bo, but before he could speak, Li Jinfang, with a smile on his face and a look that said you’re as good as dead, gleefully commented, “You idiot, I’m really impressed with you.
Did you think speaking in Chinese would save you?
Have you forgotten that Yelena started learning Chinese a long time ago?”
Before Li Jinfang could finish, Cui Bo’s face dramatically changed, and at that moment, Yelena tightened her grip around Gao Yang’s waist, looking at Cui Bo with a triumphant, proud expression.
She loudly said in Chinese, “This is called emotional sincerity, got it?
I’m willing to give myself to Gao Yang right now, wholeheartedly and eagerly, what do you think?
Hmph!
Rabbit, with your EQ, you’re doomed to a lonely life.”(To be continued.
