518: Chapter 514: It’ll Be Alright After Leaving a Will 518: Chapter 514: It’ll Be Alright After Leaving a Will After discussing half-jokingly, half-seriously with Tommy about finding him a wife, although Tommy kept making excuses, the relationship between him and Gao Yang’s group obviously felt closer after some laughter and joking around.
Tommy was already fifty-one and didn’t have much in common with the people in their twenties, like Gao Yang; he usually only managed to have a few chats with Glolov.
Although he had been with the Satan Mercenary Corps for quite some time, it would be inaccurate to say he had fully integrated into the group.
Tommy never took the initiative to inquire about others’ backgrounds and interests; he always sat quietly by himself.
He lacked communication with his comrades, but this was understandable—it’s unrealistic for someone in their fifties to quickly fit in with people in their twenties.
While Tommy did his job well and followed Gao Yang’s orders diligently, not being able to truly blend into the collective that is the Satan Mercenary Corps felt like something was always missing.
After a brief and not-so-serious conversation, the invisible barriers between Tommy and Gao Yang’s group hadn’t disappeared but were definitely moving in that direction.
After walking and talking for a while, Li Jinfang checked his watch and said, “Can’t let Rabbit lead the way any longer, it’s been a while.
I’ll go and take over.”
After speaking, Li Jinfang shouted, “Rabbit, come back, I’ll take the lead.”
Cui Bo stood still, waiting for Li Jinfang to pass by him to take the lead, and when Gao Yang and Tommy also arrived by his side, Cui Bo said excitedly, “I just heard you guys talking about Big Dog’s neighbor, the widow.
What’s up?
Tommy, you wanna hit her up?
I can introduce you, I’ve spoken to that woman a few times, I can introduce you.”
Gao Yang heaved a long sigh, while Tommy said in surprise, “Rabbit, your ears really are long.
And you’re actually keeping tabs on a woman in her forties?
What, how, what are you thinking?”
After a moment of confusion, Cui Bo suddenly exclaimed, “F**k, what disgusting things are you two thinking?
I’ve only spoken to her a couple of times.
Do you really think I have some kind of intentions?
What sort of people are you?”
Gao Yang sighed yet again, and Tommy also shook his head, saying, “Let’s not talk about this; I’m really not interested.”
Cui Bo waved his hand and said, “Don’t be so quick to reject, wait till you meet her.
Also, didn’t you just say you want to buy a house in America?
Tommy, buy a ranch with us.
Get a ranch, have a kid with that widow, raise some cattle or something, life would be so good.”
Gao Yang suddenly asked, “Big Dog’s neighbor is a widow?”
Cui Bo nodded and said, “That’s right, a widow from Latvia.
Her husband died early, and they didn’t have any children.
She’s forty-two this year but looks like she’s in her thirties.
Her husband moved to America with her, then he died in a car accident, and she’s been living in America alone for six or seven years.
She had a boyfriend once, but they split up; she’s totally alone without a partner.
She often visits Big Dog’s house to chat with Big Dog’s wife, and now she’s also getting to know Frey’s mom.
The three women get along well.
I think she’s a nice lady, Tommy, really suits you.”
Gao Yang sighed again, and finally, Tommy couldn’t help saying, “Rabbit, I didn’t expect you to know so much about a widow in her forties.”
After a stunned pause, Cui Bo burst out furiously, “F**k, where has your mind gone to?
What do you think of me?
Damn it, I try to introduce you to a girlfriend, and you don’t want her.
Tommy, serves you right to be a bachelor for life.”
Gao Yang, with a sense of resignation, said, “Enough, stop explaining, the more you say, the darker it becomes.
Rabbit, at least Toad doesn’t know that Big Dog’s neighbor is a widow.
You talk about understanding her so well, even if we have some misunderstandings, we can’t be blamed, right?”
Tommy replied very calmly, “Maybe it’s not a misunderstanding.”
Cui Bo’s veins were bulging on his forehead as he roared, “Damn it, I only know because Big Dog’s wife told me, okay!”
Gao Yang patted Cui Bo on the shoulder and said, “Brother, for such boring gossip, we wouldn’t even bother listening.
Okay, I’ll give you a nickname, ‘Women’s Best Friend.'”
After staring for a long time, Cui Bo said with a tearful face, “Don’t be like this, please don’t be like this, okay?
I was just chatting with Natalia, that’s all.
I didn’t have any ulterior motives.
Can you not do this, please?”
Gao Yang could see that Cui Bo was truly anxious and felt it wasn’t right to keep joking, so he quickly said, “Alright, alright, we’ll stop.
We don’t have any misunderstandings about you.
Is that better?
Hmm, later on, you should introduce Tommy to her, let them get to know each other.
Maybe they’ll hit it off.
You know, Tommy’s already in his fifties, if he doesn’t hurry up, he’s really getting old.
While it’s our duty to look after our comrade’s family, we can’t neglect our own lives, right?”
Cui Bo nodded and said, “Now you’re speaking sense.
Hmm, I’ll think about how to create an opportunity for Tommy to meet her.”
Tommy said with a bitter smile, “You know, just because we joined the Satan Mercenary Corps, does that mean they’ll arrange marriages for us?
Please, I really…”
Just as Tommy was expressing for the Nth time his disinterest in finding a wife, they suddenly heard Bruce’s grave voice through their earpieces, “Boss, Ivan woke up.”
Hearing the voice over the radio, Tommy immediately fell silent, but Gao Yang, after a moment of joy, immediately asked through the radio, “He woke up so soon?
How is he doing now?”
“It’s still not quite clear.
Andy He is worried that Ivan’s waking up might not be a good thing and is examining him.
Based on my experience, Ivan waking up is good news; it means his chances of surviving have greatly increased.
However, waking up could also be a sign of terminal lucidity.
I haven’t observed Ivan’s condition myself, so it’s better not to jump to conclusions before Andy He confirms anything,” Bruce replied.
Bruce’s words mixed fear with Gao Yang’s joy, and he immediately said, “We’ll be there soon, but if there are any new developments, inform me immediately.”
After ending the brief conversation, Cui Bo, with a dead-serious face, said, “I hope Ivan waking up is good news.
If he dies, all our efforts will have been in vain.
Brother Yang, I suggest that since Ivan has woken up, you should hurry over and have him give you his last words.”
Gao Yang was taken aback and asked, “What do you mean by that?
Even if Ivan waking up is indeed terminal lucidity, he doesn’t need to leave any last words to me.”
Cui Bo said solemnly, “Haven’t you noticed?
Everyone you ask for last words always ends up fine.
Think about Sirte and Tommy, and who else?
Anyway, if you’re supposed to pass on some last words for someone, unless you want them dead, they’ll end up alright.
So, let Ivan leave you his last words too.” (To be continued.
