350: Chapter 348: Became Famous 350: Chapter 348: Became Famous The Mercedes G63 AMG 6X6 indeed had two fuel tanks, meaning that when Gao Yang finally seized a vehicle and fled, his decision to abandon the car due to lack of fuel was totally unnecessary.
All he needed to do was flip a tiny switch, and he would have avoided the dangerous predicament of nearly being killed.
One could only say that fate works in mysterious ways.
If Gao Yang had driven off in the car at that time, he wouldn’t have come across that Clemens-made shotgun that thrilled Morgan so much, and without that shotgun, Morgan certainly wouldn’t have insisted on giving him the car.
There were only two such concept cars in the world, and one of them would be in Gao Yang’s hands in just over ten days.
Coupled with the one bought by an Arab tycoon, Gao Yang was likely one of the few people who had ever driven both concept cars.
Of course, Mercedes would definitely produce a few more concept cars eventually, but at least for the time being, Gao Yang was driving a truly unique vehicle on earth.
As for the extra gift with the car purchase, Gao Yang eventually chose a CLS 63 AMG.
Adding ‘AMG’ after the model signifies that the car is a product of the AMG tuning company, which specializes in modifying Mercedes vehicles.
Initially a small firm, their tuned Mercedes cars were incredibly renowned.
The cars modified by AMG had their own unique characteristics in performance and design while retaining comfort and safety.
Now, AMG had been acquired by Mercedes and had become a subsidiary, offering tuned complete cars and modification kits.
After AMG’s tuning and adjustments, the last bit of potential in Mercedes cars was extracted, allowing for a completely transformational performance.
After registering the purchase information with Gao Yang’s driver’s license, all that remained was waiting for the car delivery.
The CLS 63, however, did not require a long wait.
Gao Yang had only looked around for a while longer at the car show when a Mercedes dealer in New York drove a new car right to the outside of the Javits Convention Center.
So, while Gao Yang had arrived in Morgan’s vehicle, he would drive back on his own.
Gao Yang originally wanted to give the CLS to Yelena, so he suggested that she pick a color she liked.
However, Yelena refused to accept it.
She was very happy to go for a drive with Gao Yang, but wouldn’t agree to accept the car as a gift.
In the end, Gao Yang chose a black color he liked and thus ended his days without his own car.
After waiting for the car to arrive, Gao Yang said goodbye to Morgan, and then drove his own vehicle, took Yelena for a short spin, and dropped her off at home.
Gao Yang still had a lot to do, he had to hurry to meet Little Donnie.
After making a call, Gao Yang ordered a cup of coffee in a café where he had agreed to meet Little Donnie, and in no time, he saw Little Donnie hurry into the café through the glass window.
After standing up and calling out to Little Donnie, Gao Yang shook hands with him.
Once they were seated, Gao Yang teased with a grin, “Brother, it seems like you’ve lost some more hair, but you still look spirited, which is good.”
“Damn seborrheic alopecia.”
Little Donnie did look well-spirited, but after touching on the sore point of his hair, he just muttered a complaint before quickly regaining his excited demeanor and said eagerly, “Why are you alone?
I’ve got good news for you guys, but now I guess I’ll just have to tell you first.”
“What’s the good news?
Let’s hear it.”
Little Donnie coughed, raised the magazine he had been holding, gave it a shake, then quickly flipped it open and began to read aloud.
“On this year’s ranking of small and micro private military contractors, we finally see a new name, a micro company named Satan Mercenary Corps, whose rise has been astonishingly fast.
It is a company of fewer than ten, kept very secretive.
We couldn’t get in touch with anyone from Satan’s company, so everything about them is under wraps; their record is confidential, but it must be good enough to make the list.
Their personnel remains secret, however, the company has an amazing leader and employees.”
The reason Satan Mercenary Corps made it onto the 2011-2012 annual top nineteen list of outstanding small and micro private contractors, despite all the secrecy, is because they recently won a decisive victory over a competition with Angel Company.
Surprised?
Curious?
Yes, as the writer here, I was more astonished than you are when I heard the news, but please do not doubt the authenticity of this message.
It was conveyed to me personally by the leader of Angel Company, Mad Wolf, who said that the head of Satan Mercenary Corps is a very interesting guy, and at the same time, a very dangerous opponent.
According to Mad Wolf, Satan Mercenary Corps is the best micro private military contractor he has encountered in recent years.
After analyzing the achievements of Satan Mercenary Corps over the past year, the author believes that Satan deserves its spot at number nineteen on our list upon their first appearance in our magazine.
Guys, if you come across a company called Satan, be careful—they are the same fellows who caused big trouble for Angel Company.
And the last piece of explosive news, a sniper from Satan Mercenary Corps ended the careers of two from Angel Company.
With this explosive news, we conclude our introduction to Satan Mercenary Corps and now let’s see how Foxhound Company ranked eighteenth performed this year.”
Having finished reading, Little Donnie excitedly waved the magazine at Gao Yang and then said eagerly, “Brother, how does it feel?
You’re famous now?”
Gao Yang was completely puzzled and asked, “Wait, what’s this all about?
What kind of magazine is that?”
Little Donnie looked at him in surprise and said, “As a mercenary, don’t you know ‘The Mercenary’ magazine?
Brother, it’s authoritative, the authority in the Mercenary World.”
Gao Yang incredulously said, “I know the so-called Satan Company mentioned in the magazine is our Satan Mercenary Corps, but, damn it, does the shady circle of mercenaries have a magazine too?”
Little Donnie replied with a helpless smile, “Buddy, let me tell you, ‘The Mercenary’ magazine was founded in 1975 by a retired Green Beret.
It’s a monthly publication, and although the magazine now refers to mercenary groups as private military contractors, it hasn’t changed its own title, brother.
It’s a legal publication openly sold worldwide and the authoritative magazine of the Mercenary World.”
Gao Yang gave a bitter smile and said, “If there’s a ranking list, does that mean this magazine also selects an annual top ten outstanding mercenaries every year?
Isn’t that courting death?”
Little Donnie shrugged and replied, “As long as you don’t agree to reveal your identity, ‘The Mercenary’ magazine will never disclose any of your information.
However, making it onto the list in this magazine also means you’ve become famous, made a name for yourself worldwide, and your value will skyrocket.
So, nobody would choose to hide their name forever, at least not their nickname.” (To be continued.
