949: Chapter 939: Same Fate, Different Value 949: Chapter 939: Same Fate, Different Value Gao Yang’s choice of words greatly irritated Justin, so Justin spoke with righteous indignation, “Ram, you can’t just throw around the word ‘betrayal’ so carelessly!”
Gao Yang chuckled and said, “Alright, my apologies.
Then you can tell me who it is you plan to sell.”
“You’ll definitely be interested—it’s someone from the Iron Madonna, actually a former member of the Iron Madonna, and moreover, from the first generation.
He’s always been with Tomler; in fact, the information I sold to you last time was bought from him.”
Gao Yang was indeed very interested.
After hearing Justin’s words, he immediately lowered his voice and asked, “I’m interested.
What use is he, and how much do you plan to sell him for?”
Justin chuckled and explained, “Here’s the deal, I’ve always known this guy, even though we haven’t been in touch for many years.
But I found him, and he wants to meet with you.
He could be useful to you.
However, he can’t pay me, but you can.
So, you give me one million, and I’ll give you his address, allowing you to meet with a person who will definitely be of great use to you.”
Gao Yang, with a serious voice, said, “What use is he to me?”
“He’s been wanting to kill Tomler, always has.
Buddy, someone you can throw out as a scapegoat, preventing you and Satan from being suspected, do you think that could be useful?”
Without hesitation, Gao Yang immediately said, “Pay you the money, tell me his phone number and address.”
“No phone.
Listen, this guy’s name is Ludwig Hunter, Swede, a former member of the Iron Madonna.
He fell out with Tomler, nearly got taken out, and has been wanting to kill Tomler ever since—he just lacked the capabilities.
This guy is being detained in a US prison.
I had someone visit him in prison, not saying much, only mentioned that some folks want to take Tomler down.
The guy got excited immediately.
If you’re willing to pay his bail, I’ll pay to bail him out and deliver him to you.”
Gao Yang frowned and asked, “He’s still in prison?
Needs bail?
Doesn’t even have the money for travel?
This guy is living pretty miserably, huh?
Are you sure he’s worth anything?”
Justin laughed, “Buddy, except for Tomler, not many of the Iron Madonna bunch were wealthy; Tomler took all the money.
After a long mercenary career, not many know how to manage their finances.
So it’s no surprise Ludwig is broke.
As for his abilities, you don’t need to doubt him; he’ll be useful.
This guy was the kingpin in prison for eight years.
After being released at the end of his sentence, he was accused of a serious crime within a month.
Luckily, it’s still the evidence-gathering phase, so he can be bailed out to be your scapegoat.”
Gao Yang asked sternly, “You said he could be a scapegoat, what do you mean?”
“Ludwig has seen both good days and bad.
Now he wants nothing more than to settle his life’s grudges.
Get it?
Besides, Ludwig is a man of principles when it comes to grudges.
He had two brothers in the Iron Madonna, but both were killed during the split.
So now, he’s an Avenger, just like you.
He’s willing to do anything to take out Tomler, and he doesn’t even want money.
Where else are you going to find such a good scapegoat?”
Gao Yang replied helplessly, “But you want one million US dollars.
It’s fine, I don’t mind paying a good price for Ludwig.
Let him come.
I’ll pay you one million today, deliver Ludwig to New York, and once he’s arrived, call me.
I’ll pick him up.”
“Alright, the guy’s bail isn’t cheap; he’s been accused of…”
“How much?”
“One hundred thousand US dollars.”
“I’ll pay, but deduct it from your fee.
Once I meet him, and if he’s indeed useful, I’ll reimburse you fully.
If not, you know what happens.”
Since money for information is non-refundable, Gao Yang didn’t expect to get his money back if the Ludwig that Justin spoke of turned out to be useless.
But as for the bail, he couldn’t just pay it without a second thought.
What if he ends up spending money only to meet an incompetent person—who would he complain to then?
Justin was quite agreeable, laughing, “Okay, Ludwig is in Las Vegas Prison.
If all goes well, he can be delivered to you by tomorrow at the latest.
Alright buddy, make the payment early, goodbye.”
After hanging up the phone, Glolov asked, “What’s going on?
Did you just buy someone?”
Gao Yang shrugged and replied, “It’s complicated.
A former member of the Iron Madonna, from the first generation, he used to hang around with Tomler but later turned against him.
He’s been wanting to take out Tomler ever since.
I’m not sure if he’s useful or not; it wasn’t very clear on the phone with Justin, but a price tag of one million US dollars is acceptable.”
Glolov nodded, “Indeed, that’s acceptable.
We’ll see if he turns out to be useful.”
The group fell silent, with Gao Yang pondering what use Ludwig could possibly serve.
From the sound of it, Ludwig must be a tough character.
After all, he was a member of the Iron Madonna during its most glorious days, and not only did he survive an internal conflict with Tomler but also continued to live until today, evading Tomler’s attempts to have him killed.
Such a feat was impressive.
A person like Tomler wouldn’t leave loose ends, but yet Ludwig managed to sell Tomler’s information to Justin for four hundred thousand dollars twelve years ago and has survived until today.
Gao Yang felt that, no matter what, Ludwig must be quite capable.
