909: Chapter 899 The First Argument 909: Chapter 899 The First Argument F**k was delighted with Gao Yang’s question and said cheerfully, “Of course, I’ve considered it!
Once I retire, I’m going to play baseball, haha, envy me, be jealous, you guys, I’m going to be a star!”
Gao Yang said in astonishment, “Have you lost your mind?
Retire?
How old will you be when you retire?
You should go play baseball as soon as possible.
Listen, you still have your South African nationality, right?
Once this mission is over, you should immediately figure out how to find a scout or something.
There’s always a way to let you show off your skills.”
Frey was also astonished and said, “Boss, are you kidding me?
I’m not thinking about retiring yet.
Why would I start playing baseball right away?”
Gao Yang, both amused and frustrated, said, “Why, you ask?
F**k, you must be stupid!
You could make big money playing baseball, so why rely on fighting to make money?”
Frey got a bit agitated and raised his voice to Gao Yang, “Why do I have to play baseball?
Why can’t I make money by fighting?”
Gao Yang also got a bit agitated, raising his voice and yelling, “You’re a genius, do you understand?
A genius!
A baseball genius, and you dumbass want to be a mercenary instead of a megastar!
Is your head filled with shit?
Has fighting burned out your brain?”
Frey shook his hand and said, “F**k!
We just agreed to start a big company together, and now you’re telling me to leave Satan?
Without me, where the hell are you going to find such a good grenadier, where are you going to find such a good rocket launcher operator?
I love playing baseball!
But I never thought about playing professional baseball right now.
I’m not going anywhere!
I’m staying with Satan!”
Gao Yang was really anxious; he thought Frey would be overjoyed to go play baseball, but Frey was unexpectedly unwilling.
Gao Yang stepped forward, right in front of Frey, and shouted with spittle flying, “You idiot!
How many times have you been injured?
In Mexico, you got shot, and in Colombia, you nearly f**king died!
Do I need to remind you of these too?
F**k!
Your future is to be a megastar, not some mercenary who could drop dead at any moment!
Have you lost your mind?
Are you an idiot?”
As Gao Yang shouted, he poked fiercely at Frey’s head with his fingers.
Frey dared to shout back at Gao Yang, but he didn’t dare to get physical with him.
As Gao Yang poked him, he didn’t dare to block it and instead stepped back.
After retreating two steps, Frey stiffened his neck and roared, “Stop talking!
I’m not going anywhere, f**k!
Unless Satan disbands or I die, otherwise I’m not playing any damn baseball!
Mind your own business, I’m not going!”
Gao Yang was both angry and anxious as he yelled, “F**k!
I dare you to say that to me again!”
Seeing both Gao Yang and Frey truly at their wit’s end, a crowd surged forward.
Cui Bo and Jinfang grabbed Frey to pull him back, while Glolov and Eileen held back Gao Yang and pushed him away.
Glolov yelled, “Shut up!
Quiet down!
What the hell is this?
Frey, what the boss is saying is right, why are you being so foolish?”
Frey stiffened his neck and said, “I’m not foolish, and don’t talk to me about baseball now!
Nobody should!”
Gao Yang, both anxious and angry, bellowed, “I’m gonna kill you, you idiot, get the hell out of here, I’m firing you!
I’m f**king firing you!”
Gao Yang had never been so furious.
Glolov quickly said, “Stop it, Gao, stop it.
Frey, what the hell are you thinking?
Think about it, if you get injured again, it could end your real future prospects.”
Frey turned his head away and shouted, “I’m not leaving!
Even if you fire me, I won’t go.
You took me out of that damned South African slum, so don’t think you can just kick me out!
I retire when you retire, but if you don’t, don’t think about getting rid of me alone!
You need me, you can’t function without me!”
Gao Yang shouted, “Get lost!
There are plenty of grenadiers, rocket launcher operators are a dime a dozen, I could shout out once, and f**king hundreds would line up begging to join Satan!”
Frey retorted loudly, “They’re not as good as me!”
“Bullshit!
I can randomly find a better grenadier than you, and rocket launcher operators who are a million times better than you.
Don’t think you can stick around, go play your f**king baseball!
You brain-damaged moron, imbecile!”
The more Gao Yang spoke, the more agitated he became because he really was scared; the profession of a mercenary was too dangerous.
Not to mention others, if Frey’s arm took a bullet, even if the wound healed, it was uncertain if he could still play baseball.
It wouldn’t be such a big deal if Frey wasn’t a genius, but if Frey was material for a megastar and a common injury from his mercenary work permanently ruined his career, it would be too late for regrets.
Unfortunately, Frey just wouldn’t wise up.
Gao Yang was anxious because he cared, and angry because he was anxious, so right now he was truly very angry.
At this moment, Jinfang said solemnly, “Little Fly, we all kind of understand your feelings, but the boss is really not wrong, you need to consider it.
If you injure your arm or something, everything would be ruined.”
Frey shouted loudly, “I’m willing!
I’m not afraid!
Anyway, I have money now, I can live a comfortable life without playing baseball, what do I have to fear?”
Tommy spoke in a gentle voice, “Frey, don’t get excited, think about it, the Boss is doing this for your own good.
We all want to see you have a bright future.
You’re unlike the rest of us; you can live a better life, especially since you love baseball so much.
Besides, you don’t have to worry about no one filling your spot, we can always find someone new.”
Frey bellowed, “Shut up, stop talking, I’ve said I’m not going anywhere.
I could take a bullet for the Boss, find me a newbie who’s willing to take a bullet for the Boss!
F**k, stop talking to me about baseball, I’m done with it!”
Once Frey had roared out these words, nobody could say anything else, because Frey had already proven with his actions that he was willing to take a bullet for Gao Yang; he had done exactly that in Colombia.
Gao Yang wanted to say something but didn’t know how to begin; after the silence returned, his and Frey’s rapid breathing was very clear to hear.
Glolov shook his head gently at Gao Yang and said, “Don’t say anything more, let’s all calm down for a moment.”
Feeling helpless, Gao Yang had always understood Frey’s feelings, but now he was even more moved, and it made things even harder for him.
Moreover, it was precisely because of their bond that he felt so angry when Frey refused to play baseball.
After mulling over it chaotically for a moment, Gao Yang couldn’t think of any solution.
In the end, all he could do was helplessly wave his hand and say resentfully, “Toad, Dragon Knight, Fork, and Test Tube, go, bring that Robert back to me.
F**k, such an idiot!”
Frey shouted loudly, “It’s no use whom you find, I’m not leaving!”
Eileen asked blankly, “What are you bringing him here for?”
Gao Yang replied irritably, “What for?
To play baseball with Frey!
He’s a super fan; he will definitely play baseball!”
After saying that, Gao Yang looked at Frey irritably and said, “Fine, let’s talk about everything when we get back.
F**k, I won’t say anything to make you piss off anymore, and stop saying you’ll never play baseball again.
Practice when you have time, what if…
what if you change your mind one day and find you can’t pitch anymore?”
No matter what you do, talent alone isn’t enough; you also have to practice, and practice hard.
Gao Yang knew this, so he was terrified that in his frustration, Frey would one day really never touch a baseball again, which would be terrible.
Frey said stubbornly, “I’m not practicing unless you promise me, after our company gets going and we’ve all retired, only then will I agree to leave.”
Gao Yang said hatefully, “You’re an incurable fool.
Alright, go practice.
When you’re free, practice some more.”
“You haven’t promised me yet.”
“F**k, me saying this is already a promise, you idiot.”
After pondering grumpily for a moment, Frey hesitantly said, “Then swear it!”
“Fine, I swear to God to be responsible for what I’ve just said.
Are you happy now?”
Having finally compromised, Gao Yang watched Frey break into smiles and say, “Thank you, Boss, haha, don’t worry, everyone relax, I definitely won’t get into any more trouble, I’ll make sure not to get injured.”
Jansen cast Gao Yang a meaningful look since he vividly remembered that Gao Yang had once sworn to God not to kill anyone but then turned around and killed the person anyway, because he didn’t believe in God.
However, after Gao Yang glared at him with a warning look, Jansen immediately turned his head away, and decided to keep the fact that Gao Yang’s swearing to God was as good as farting to himself, at least he wouldn’t let Frey know.
After experiencing this storm, especially since fights of such magnitude between Gao Yang and Frey were extremely rare, if not unprecedented, the atmosphere was slightly awkward.
However, this would not affect their relationship; on the contrary, it would make their bonds even closer.
With Gao Yang’s promise in hand, the others let go of Gao Yang and Frey, while Frey was all smiles, approaching Gao Yang cautiously and saying, “Boss, don’t be mad.
We will raise the money soon, right?
Maybe by next year I’ll be a big star.
Then, you all have to come to the stadium to cheer for me.
I don’t know what my first game is going to be like, but I think, it won’t be bad, maybe even sensational.”
Gao Yang still replied grumpily, “Just make sure you can get into the Major Leagues first.
A rookie like you, listening to that Robert, you actually believe you’re a genius who’s definitely going to make it to the Major Leagues?
Let me tell you, whether it’s any endeavor, talent is important but hard training is even more so.
Get that?
From now on, practice more when you’re free.
We’ll also join you and play more often.
Aren’t your hitting and base running not up to par?
Practice more of that.
You might need it.”
Frey said with a smile, “No worries.
A pitcher doesn’t need to run bases, and hitting ninth doesn’t really matter.”
Gao Yang rebutted sharply, “Bullshit!
Don’t you want to be a legend?
A legend has to be all-around, at least you can’t be too weak in anything, right?
What if someone refuses to pick you up because you can’t run bases?
You’ve got to raise your starting point, you can’t let your pitching slip, and you have to practice hitting more, too.
Later, um, we’ll have to find you a professional coach.”
Just then, Bruce, who had run out to look for Robert, spoke through the walkie-talkie, “Boss, I found Robert.
Good news, he really can play baseball, and by his own account, he’s not bad at it.” (To be continued.
