359: Chapter 357 Defying Scales 359: Chapter 357 Defying Scales Gao Yang clenched his fists and silently watched the television, but his face was a frightening shade of white.
Not long after, Glolov also rushed into the dining room, then stared at the television with a face full of fear, followed by Li Jinfang and Bruce who hurried into the dining room as well.
No sound came out; the only noise in the dining room was from the TV program.
Beyond the television screen, the voice of the host continued to rapidly narrate.
“Japan’s controversial whaling operation has resumed, and some environmental protest actions have also started.
However, this time the situation is different.
The Sea Shepherd Conservation Society took forceful action to protect those whales.
Although their methods are controversial, everyone could see that in the recent action to protect whales, four volunteers were seriously injured.
The crew on the whaling ship was still preventing the rescuers from helping the protesters, which is undoubtedly an abhorrent act.
This is indeed murder.
The footage on television occurred a day ago, and we received these images from the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society.
It is reported that the four volunteers who fell into the water have been rescued, but their situation does not look optimistic.”
“NBC reporters got in touch with the Bob Barker, and the condition of the four volunteers who fell into the water is very critical.
We can now confirm that two of them are female United States nationals, and their names are Yelena and Catherine Taylor.
Another injured party is from the United Kingdom named Adele.
The only injured male is Paul George from New Zealand.
It is noted that Yelena and Catherine Taylor are the most seriously injured.
Although they have been given initial treatment on the boat, according to information from the Bob Barker, the two American nationals are still in a life-threatening condition.
Let’s pray for these two volunteers.
May God bless these two brave girls.”
It is reported that the captain of the Bob Barker is rushing at full speed to the port of Santa Arenas in Chile, but they still need at least sixty hours to arrive.
The four injured will be taken to the hospital in Santa Arenas.
The United States Embassy in Chile is already prepared to treat the two American citizens, but at present, we do not know the specific injuries of the four volunteers.
The Bob Barker only has the most basic medical means, and the exact condition of the injured cannot be determined until they are sent to a larger hospital with better medical facilities.”
From the footage, we can see that the harpoons attacking the volunteers of the Sea Shepherd organization came from the Nisshin Maru, and the No.
2 Shonan Maru was attacking the volunteers with high-pressure water cannons from the other side.
The White House has not yet made a statement about this event, and we will continue to follow this incident.
Next, we invite our guests to discuss and analyze this event for us.”
The host and guests on television began to discuss the event, but Gao Yang could not listen any longer.
Concern leads to chaos.
Seeing his daughter fall into the sea on screen, Glolov looked horrified, muttering to himself, “Nothing will happen, my Yelena definitely won’t have any problems, my Yelena absolutely won’t have any issues.”
Gao Yang didn’t know what to say to Glolov.
He released his clenched fists, patted Glolov on the shoulder, and after embracing him tightly, he said hoarsely, “Yelena won’t be in trouble, I promise.”
Glolov was completely panicked, trembled, and said, “I need to go to Chile immediately, I think Natalia doesn’t know about this yet, don’t tell Natalia, she can’t bear it, I need to hurry to Santa Arenas, I must leave right away.”
Gao Yang nodded, saying solemnly, “You go first, I’ll come soon after.”
After speaking, Gao Yang turned and left the dining room, walking towards his own cabin.
His steps were slow and heavy.
Gao Yang’s complexion looked very calm, and he neither roared in anger nor was he like Glolov, who had been frightened to a frazzle.
The only abnormality was the unusually pale color on his face.
Frey was a bit at a loss, whispering, “The boss seems fine, right?
He looks very abnormal.
I thought he would curse or smash things, but he seems quite calm.
The calmer he is, the more I feel something’s off.
Is he okay?”
Cui Bo’s mouth twitched nervously, and he spoke with tension, “Okay?
It would be strange if he were okay.
Knowing Brother Yang for so many years, based on what I know about him, not only is there something wrong, but it’s going to be something big.
The calmer Yang looks now, the scarier he will be when he explodes.
Guys, get ready.
I guarantee that Brother Yang is going to make a big move.”
Li Jinfang said furiously, “Damn Japanese, screw your ancestors, we must kill them, these bastards must be killed!”
Bob looked concerned and said, “Should we go check on Gao?
He won’t be in trouble, right?”
Cui Bo shook his head, “Don’t disturb him.
Let him be alone for a while.
I think he needs to quietly think about some things.”
Cui Bo was right; Gao Yang indeed needed to quietly think about some things.
Right now, Gao Yang had only two emotions, one was fear, extreme fear.
He feared Yelena really might die; he did not dare and could not imagine the scene of Yelena being forever separated from him.
Aside from fear, Gao Yang was also very angry, extremely angry.
The dragon has a reverse scale, touch it and it will become irate.
Gao Yang was not a dragon, but he too had a reverse scale, and Yelena was undoubtedly his.
No one could harm Yelena and not pay the price, the heaviest price.
Extreme anger made Gao Yang decide on revenge without a second thought.
He seemed calm only because he was contemplating how to carry out the fiercest, most ruthless retaliation.
Thus, he had no time to waste on completely useless emotional catharsis.
Gao Yang returned to his cabin, got his satellite phone, and found no signal inside, so he went back out onto the deck.
In the corridor inside the ship, Gao Yang encountered a worried-looking Li Jinfang and Frey.
Seeing the two urgently concerned men, Gao Yang put his index finger to his lips in a silencing gesture and slowly walked past them to reach the deck.
Once on the deck, Gao Yang made a call to Uriyangko.
After the call connected, Uriyangko said cheerfully, “Hey, old friend, I’m very happy to hear from you.
What’s up?”
Speaking in a hoarse voice, Gao Yang said, “Yes, there’s something.
I need to buy stuff from you, a lot of stuff.”
Hearing the voice on the phone, Uriyangko was taken aback and said anxiously, “Buddy, what happened to you?
Your voice doesn’t sound normal.”
“Listen to me, I need some things, torpedoes, anti-ship missiles, cannon, mines, it doesn’t matter what, as long as it can sink a ship, I need it now, right away.
Can you provide it?”
“Gao, what’s happened?
Sorry, I don’t have any of the things you’re asking for.
I can’t sell them here in Africa, so I haven’t prepared any.
I can’t get them for you right away.
What do you need them for?”
“You don’t have them?
Then forget it, I’ll find someone else.
Goodbye.”
“Wait, wait, it’s not that I don’t have them, it’s just a matter of time.
I can get you everything you need.
Although I don’t have them readily available, you know my boss Grand Ivan can find anything you need.
We have all that stuff, it’s just that I can’t sell them easily here in Africa, so I wasn’t prepared.
If you want to pick up goods from my boss, it won’t take too long.
Believe me, you won’t find an arms dealer who can supply you faster than me.
But why do you need these things?”
“Good, contact your boss and let him know what I need.
No, I think it’d be better if I meet your boss in person.
I’m leaving now.
I want to talk to him face-to-face because you only handle the African region, and what I have to do is far outside of Africa.
I think it’s better to meet your boss directly.”
Uriyangko’s voice hesitated, “Gao, that’s not the protocol, and the key issue is that Grand Ivan never meets with outsiders.
I don’t think he’ll agree to see you.”
Gao Yang said firmly, “Please help me, I’m begging you.”
After a moment of silence, Uriyangko said solemnly, “You’ve never begged me for anything.
I think something major must have happened.
Alright, I won’t ask.
Grand Ivan will see you, I guarantee it.
Where are you now?
We need to meet up and then go to see Grand Ivan together.
I’m in Al Mukalla, Yemen; come to me as soon as possible.”
Gao Yang hung up the phone.
By that time, Professor Buck and the others had also hurried to the deck, along with Destin and his group.
Frey stayed in the dining room with Glolov, continuing to monitor the news, in case they missed any latest reports.
Professor Buck and the others were about ten meters away from Gao Yang.
Gao Yang approached them and said in a deep voice, “I’m definitely going to Chile with Glolov, but before that, I have some things I need to deal with.”
Li Jinfang said in a deep voice, “Brother Yang, we all understand how you feel.
Whatever you’re going to do, remember, the brothers are with you.” (To be continued.
