819: Chapter 810: Rookie, you are just a rookie.
In one week’s time, Gao Yang had handled a lot of matters, waging a battle on two fronts.
He had taken Morgan to see the diamond mine and the campsite and logged the location of the diamond mine before passing the specifics over to Morgan to deal with.
Besides being busy with Morgan over the diamond mine, Gao Yang also had to help Martin shoot a documentary on the Akuri tribe in the shortest time possible.
In the whole world, maybe Gao Yang was the only person who understood Akuri and also knew English, which meant he had to not only serve as the translator but also dub the sample video filmed by Martin.
Additionally, when the Akuri tribe took up their bows and arrows and embarked on a two-day hunt covering over seventy kilometers, Gao Yang followed throughout and revisited the hunting experience.
Once all the filming was complete, and Morgan’s side was all set, Gao Yang brought all members of the Akuri tribe to the vicinity of Morgan’s oil field, where they would no longer have to worry about safety issues.
Everything was taken care of, and Gao Yang left South Sudan with Morgan, albeit he departed on Morgan’s plane with Jansen in tow.
Catherine and Adele had left as well, but they would go with Martin’s production team to the United Kingdom.
The post-production of the documentary might require Catherine and Adele as narrators, especially Adele, whose voice was really magnetic and pleasant to listen to.
Gao Yang was particularly anxious to leave South Sudan for a very important reason, which was that his tooth had been aching continuously.
Although it was intermittent, when it did hurt, it was truly unbearable, and every time it acted up, Gao Yang could only rely on painkillers to get through.
So, getting his bad tooth treated was his most pressing concern.
With Morgan’s help and his private plane, entering Israel became much easier for Gao Yang.
Morgan was in a hurry to fly back to America and had only stopped in Israel to drop off Gao Yang and Jansen.
After delivering Gao Yang to Tel Aviv, Morgan didn’t even disembark from the plane.
Since Jansen hadn’t officially joined the Satan Mercenary Corps yet, he couldn’t be considered part of the inner circle.
So although he had traveled on Morgan’s plane, he didn’t know who Morgan was and just quietly sat in a corner, sleeping.
It was only after disembarking the plane and passing through a security check with Gao Yang, assisted by Morgan’s aide, leaving behind the terminal building with a suitcase in hand and a large bag over his shoulder, did Jansen dare to speak.
“Boss, I can’t believe it, we actually made it to Israel without any security checks and no one even checked my passport.
Boss, you are incredible!”
Gao Yang gestured with his index finger to his lips with a light shushing sound and then said to Jansen, “Don’t make a fuss or blabber about it.
Just follow me, and no matter what you see, remember not to tell anyone, especially not a word about anything that happens in Israel, because every move we make here involves a lot of people.
If you can’t keep your mouth shut, it can cause unnecessary but very fatal trouble for many people.
So, if you want to run with me, you need to learn to lock your mouth.
Understand?”
Jansen nodded repeatedly, “I understand, I guarantee it, Boss.
I won’t mention any of the things I’ve seen to anyone.”
Gao Yang nodded and extended his hand to Jansen, who was carrying two large bags, saying, “Give me one, I’ll help you with it.”
Jansen laughed, “Thanks, I really appreciate it, but there’s no need.
How could a boss carry luggage for his subordinate?”
Gao Yang shook his head, “You’re mistaken.
If you join Satan, then we’re not in a boss-employee relationship, but comrades in arms, brothers in life and death.
Anyway, we’re definitely not in a boss and employee relationship.”
After a moment of stunned silence, Jansen replied, “I understand.
Thank you, Boss, but I’ll carry it myself.
My military experience has made me appreciate the hierarchy between ranks, and you’re clearly an officer, whereas I’m just a private.
A private shouldn’t have an officer carry his luggage, especially since it isn’t heavy.”
Gao Yang smiled and said, “Alright, suit yourself.
Let’s go.”
They hadn’t walked far from the exit towards the parking lot when someone descended from a car parked on the side of the road and shouted to Gao Yang, “Hey, Gao!
Hey, over here!”
Gao Yang looked up and recognized the person calling him was Arthur.
Ever since the formation of the Maritime Security Company, Destin had been out at sea, and the training camp’s matters had been left to Arthur.
Now that the company had stabilized, and Destin didn’t need to be on site, he was back at the training camp, leaving Arthur in charge of the specific training tasks again.
Seeing Arthur there to pick him up made Gao Yang quite happy.
Having shared life-and-death experiences together in Mexico had certainly bonded them.
After a warm embrace, Gao Yang smiled and asked, “Long time no see, how have you been?”
Arthur, with a helpless look, said, “Same old, training the newbies all day long, pretty dull.
I’ve already made an arrangement with Destin.
Once your training is done, I’ll spend some time aboard a ship in the Gulf of Aden.”
“It’s even more boring on the sea.”
“It’s okay, if I get bored, I’ll just come back, it’s like going on vacation.
Who’s this guy, the new recruit you found?
Looks like a greenhorn.”
Gao Yang laughed and pointed at Jansen, saying, “Indeed, I found him.
He shouldn’t be considered a greenhorn though.
He’s good at reconnaissance, oh, and adept at using drones.
As long as he passes the test, he’ll be a part of Satan.”
Jansen looked somewhat nervous, quickly put down the box in his hand, and extended his hand to Arthur, saying, “Pleased to meet you, sir.”
Arthur didn’t shake hands with Jansen, instead, he stroked his chin, sizing Jansen up from head to toe and said, “Hey, sissy, know who I am?
If you were sent here by Ram for training, then I guarantee you will soon be so frustrated, you’d wish you could skin me alive, so it’s better you don’t get too enthusiastic.”
Jansen seemed upset but still mustered a smile and said, “Please don’t call me sissy, sir.”
Arthur just shrugged his shoulders and then loudly said, “So, can I call you Pretty Boy?”
“No, sir, I have a name; my name is Jansen!”
“Alright, sissy, you do look really effeminate, so you are a sissy.
Now, come with me.”
Jansen was very angry; he looked at Gao Yang, who remained silent, and then at Arthur, who was looking contemptuous, and finally couldn’t hold back and muttered, “You’d better apologize to me, you damn bastard!”
Arthur shrugged his shoulders again, with a disdainful expression he said, “Wimp, sissy!”
Jansen couldn’t restrain himself any longer.
He dropped the big bag he was carrying on his back, and then pounced toward Arthur.
Arthur caught Jansen’s wrist with one hand and pressed the other hand onto Jansen’s face, then with a shove, made Jansen fall on his backside.
Following that, Arthur gave a light but firm kick, causing Jansen’s head to knock onto the ground.
After instantly downing Jansen, Arthur shook his head at Gao Yang and said, “You say he’s not a greenhorn.
Ram, did you make a mistake this time?
You tell me, he gets impulsive with just a little provocation, wants to start a fight with me but lacks self-awareness, and his moves are too weak, as frail as a chicken.
What did you see in him?”
Of course, Arthur was not the kind of person to take pleasure in embarrassing others upon first meeting.
As a professional military instructor, he had his standards for judgment and for evaluating talents.
Naturally, he also had his own methods for testing.
It must be said that Jansen didn’t look at all like a veteran battle-hardened soldier, no wonder Arthur decided to test Jansen upon meeting him.
Sadly, Jansen’s performance was not only inadequate, it was wholly unacceptable.
Hearing Arthur and Gao Yang’s conversation, Jansen, who had just gotten up from the ground, was stunned and said blankly, “You were testing me?”
Arthur said unapologetically, “Yes, sissy, to join Satan, your current performance is not up to scratch.
I greatly respect Ram’s judgment because he has found a group of remarkable guys, but you, so far, seem very weak, extremely weak.
I’m now doubting whether he’s mistaken in seeing something in you.”
Jansen’s face turned red; after lowering his head, he said in a weak voice, “Can you please not call me sissy, sir?”
Arthur coldly said, “Until you can pin me to the ground and give me a good thrashing, I’ll only call you sissy!
Listen up, sissy, you’re lucky because Ram sent you to me.
I’ll train you hard until you turn into a real man, just like Satan’s Eileen, a real man!
By the way, if you can’t pass my test, forget about joining Satan because Ram has given me the same judging authority as him.
Now put your luggage in the car and wait for me inside the car to go.”
Jansen, his face still red, put his luggage in the trunk, then sheepishly got into the car.
That’s when Gao Yang couldn’t hold back his laughter and said, “Arthur, I didn’t know you were this mean!
Calling Eileen a real man, I dare you to say that to her face!”
Arthur sniffed and with a gloomy face said, “I can’t beat her, damn it, where on earth do you find these people?
The newcomers are more impressive than the last.
I heard that Andy He just joined and all the instructors agree he’s a treasure.
We all think your judgment is damn good.
But what’s the deal with the sissy in the car?
What did you see in him?”
Gao shrugged his shoulders and said, “Like I said, he’s really good with drones.
As for the other aspects, well, I haven’t had the chance to evaluate him yet, but the guy has good character.
You know, for us, sometimes character is even more important than skills.”
Arthur nodded and said, “That’s true.
For the rabble, a person’s character doesn’t matter much, but for Satan, character is very important.
Recklessly adding trash will ruin the good atmosphere we have now.”
Gao patted Arthur on the shoulder and chuckled, “The rest is up to you.
You’re the pro instructor.
If Jansen’s fighting skills are lacking, you have to train him up.
Otherwise, why would I bother bringing him here?” (To be continued.
