912: Chapter 902: Better Dead Than Alive.
Following Harrison’s gaze, Andy He’s eyes landed on the pocket over Harrison’s chest, and he whispered, “Don’t move, I’ll get it for you.”
Andy He pulled a flat iron box from Harrison’s pocket, which was not very big and was sealed in a plastic bag.
Holding the iron box, Andy He asked, “Is this it?”
A hint of reluctance and nostalgia appeared on Harrison’s face as he said, in a deep voice, “Yes, that’s right, it’s this one.
Open it, but be careful.”
Andy He opened the sealed bag, took out the iron box, which was also well-sealed.
Once he opened the iron box, a card appeared inside, also kept in a sealed bag—a Sandy Koufax baseball card.
Harrison glanced at the baseball card Andy He placed before his eyes, then looking at Frey, he smiled and said, “This is the person I admire most, the ‘Left Hand of God’.
This is his autographed baseball card, and now it’s yours, my friend.”
With trembling hands, Frey took the card and with a trembling voice said, “Thank you, Harrison, I really like it.
I will take good care of it.”
Harrison, with a serious face, said, “Buddy, you’re a genius.
You belong in the Hall of Fame.
You need to practice hard, really, you can make it into the Hall of Fame.
Remember, when the time comes, give the New York Yankees a tough lesson for me!”
With tears streaming down his face, Frey nodded and said, “Harrison, it’s a promise.
If I play baseball in the future, I’ll definitely teach the Yankees a lesson.
Why do you hate the Yankees so much?”
Harrison, growing a bit excited, raised his voice and said, “The Texas Rangers have made it to the playoffs only five times, and in 1996, 1998, and 1999, we met the New York Yankees in the first round of the playoffs and lost each time.”
Harrison waved his broken left arm toward Frey and said, “Defeat the Yankees!”
Frey nodded and said, “I will.
As long as I make it to Major League Baseball, I’ll do everything I can…”
“He’s already dead.”
As Frey was speaking, Bruce gently interrupted him, but after Frey saw Harrison’s eyes that had lost their sparkle, he continued, “Harrison, I promise, I will defeat the Yankees, even if it’s just me, I will do it for you.”
Frey solemnly put the baseball card back into the iron box, slipped on the sealed bag, and placed the iron box back.
Then, wiping away his tears, he stood up from the ground.
Gao Yang and the others all drew their handguns and pointed them at the people around, and although the people being aimed at didn’t seem very afraid, they had nevertheless taken control of the situation.
After Frey stood up, Gao Yang whispered, “What’s going on?”
Frey replied in a low voice, “I almost broke my arm, but Harrison protected me, and then he died.”
Revenge must be avenged, and debts of gratitude, even more so.
Gao Yang aimed his gun at Johnson on the ground, but several people stepped forward, blocking Gao Yang’s line of fire, while Frey bent down to pick up a baseball bat that had fallen to the ground.
Johnson had to die.
If someone was going to block the way, they might as well die together.
Just then, from behind the people blocking the gun, Johnson smiled and said, “Step aside, let him shoot.
I want to see if he has the guts.”
The people actually stepped aside, and just then, Gao Yang lowered his gun, looking at Johnson and said, “You’re tough, I underestimated you.
I thought you’d be down for a long time.”
Johnson, sitting on the ground, said nonchalantly, “I am indeed tough, which is why I came here.
I won’t stop until I’ve beaten you into the hospital.
Actually, I’d rather kill you, but unfortunately, this is the Green Zone.”
Gao Yang calmly said, “Someone told me that you don’t have much influence, but you’ve managed to bring a lot of people, which caught me off guard.”
Johnson coldly said, “I might not have much influence, but I have money.
They each get two thousand bucks to beat up a kid; no one would refuse that.”
Gao Yang laughed softly, and Johnson also laughed, saying loudly, “Kid, if you’re scared, just scram.
This isn’t a place where you can act tough just because you have a gun.”
Gao Yang shook his head and said, “You misunderstood.
I’m telling you this just to clear things up before I take you out, so now you can go and die.”
Gao Yang raised his gun again, but Johnson remained unconcerned and said, “I don’t believe you dare to shoot here.
Also, your little guy said if I dare touch him, his boss would make my life worse than death.
Now, I’m really curious to see that, oh, are you his boss?”
Gao Yang again lowered his gun and frowned, saying, “Did he really say that?”
Johnson smiled and said, “Yes, that’s exactly what he said.
Now I’m looking forward to seeing how you’re going to make my life worse than death.”
Gao Yang looked at Frey, who was holding a baseball bat, and said, “Did you really say that?”
Frey paused for a moment and replied, “Seems like I did say that.”
Gao Yang sighed and said, “Brother, don’t say that kind of stuff next time, it’s very troublesome, you know?
Generally speaking, when you warn someone, just telling them they’ll die is enough; making them wish they were dead is a high-level skill.”
“Okay, I got it.”
Johnson laughed heartily and said, “You guys are really funny, come on, hit me, make me wish I were dead.”
Gao Yang ignored Johnson and instead re-holstered his pistol, turned to Frey and said, “In our line of work, we have to keep our word.
You see, you said he would wish he were dead, so now I can’t kill him.
It’s such a hassle.
Alright, step aside.”
Frey was taken aback and said, “Boss, let me do it myself.”
Gao Yang shook his head, pulled the axe from his chest, and whispered, “You said I would make him wish he were dead, not you.
There is a difference.
So, I’m sorry, I understand how you feel, but this is something I have to do myself.”
Seeing Gao Yang put away the pistol but take out the axe, Johnson was momentarily stunned and said, “What are you going to do?”
Gao Yang said very seriously, “You should know, make you wish you were dead.”
Johnson’s face changed, but he quickly laughed again and said, “Idiot, you are really good at bluffing!”
A few men stood in front of Johnson again as Gao Yang held the axe and said in a low voice, “I am not as patient as you think.
I really want to kill you, and I don’t mind starting a massacre.
If you insist, I can oblige, so either step aside or die.”
Upon hearing Gao Yang’s words, those with pistols immediately aimed them at the men shielding Johnson; those without guns quickly drew theirs, ready to shoot the moment Gao Yang gave the order.
After sneering a few times, four or five more men giggling stood in front of Johnson, forming a human wall.
Gao Yang nodded and said, “Very well, then…”
Before Gao Yang could finish saying “kill them,” someone urgently shouted, “Stop, everyone don’t move, calm down!”
Gao Yang turned his head and saw Polovich running towards him with urgent steps, accompanied by his entourage.
After reaching Gao Yang, Polovich looked at the body of Harrison on the ground, looked at Gao Yang holding the axe, his face changed drastically, he glared hatefully at the men in front of Johnson and urgently said to Gao Yang, “What happened?”
Gao Yang coldly said, “Nothing much, I’m about to make someone wish they were dead and kill those blocking my way.
If you came to stop me, then don’t bother talking.”
Seeing Polovich, the people shielding Johnson immediately showed signs of fear.
Polovich, catching his breath, whispered urgently next to Gao Yang, “Don’t be rash, if you start shooting and kill someone, you won’t be able to leave the Green Zone.
It’s safe here but also like a big prison.
Unless you are confident you can escape from thousands of garrison troops, trust me, let them off for now, and I’ll make it up to you.
Outside the Green Zone, whoever you want dead, I guarantee they won’t survive.”
Gao Yang shook his head and said, “No, I can’t wait, thank you, but I’d rather fight my way out!”
Polovich raised his voice and said, “Be rational!”
Gao Yang hesitated, but after looking at Frey and then at the body of Harrison, he said firmly, “Sorry, I am being rational, but I must avenge my brother, so now is not the time for reason.”
Knowing what kind of person Gao Yang was and his temper, Polovich, helpless, whispered, “Don’t shoot, really, don’t shoot; if someone dies, it can’t be undone.
Ram, don’t kill, but feel free to vent, and I guarantee they won’t survive, okay?”
Gao Yang thought for a moment and said, “So, as long as no one dies, you can handle it?”
Polovich nodded firmly and said, “Yes, as long as no one dies, I can get you out of the Green Zone, but if someone dies, that’s not possible!
You must understand, I have some influence here, but not everything is under my control.”
Gao Yang smiled, patted Polovich on the shoulder, and said, “Thanks, sorry for the trouble in advance.
Also, I’ll talk to Uriyangko about your situation, and I’ll try to convince him.”
After that, Gao Yang waved his hand and said, “Don’t kill anyone, Toad, Tyrannosaurus, go!”
As soon as Gao Yang’s words fell, Li Jinfang threw a punch, immediately knocking a man to the ground without even a scream, while Eileen re-holstered her pistol, let out a roar, and pounced on the people blocking Johnson.
Li Jinfang and Eileen were both skilled fighters, but even experts have their limits.
Eileen could easily take on one person without pressure, but after three or four people joined in, she could only manage to defend herself since the opponents were also military veterans.
But Li Jinfang was different; whether it was fighting weaklings or experts, it was always just one blow, punching and kicking, unstoppable, and quickly cleared the people shielding Johnson in no time.
With no one left to block his way, Gao Yang leisurely walked up to Johnson, suddenly remembered something, and turned to Bruce, saying, “Come here, since I said he should wish he was dead, he obviously can’t die.
So, you’ll need to make sure he doesn’t die from this.”
