954: Chapter 943 Personal Resume 954: Chapter 943 Personal Resume Gao Yang now knew three things.
First, Number Thirteen and Murphy were quite familiar with each other.
Second, Number Thirteen and Murphy often came to this coffee shop, or rather, to this restaurant.
Third, he knew where the waitress had learned the words she had said to him.
If there was a fourth, it would be that Number Thirteen was obviously quite liked by that waitress.
“I don’t like to waste either, and besides, eating too quickly is bad for your health.”
Gao Yang didn’t know what to say.
After blurting out something rather odd, Number Thirteen actually agreed, “Eating too quickly is indeed not good, but if you don’t eat fast enough, there will be nothing left to eat.”
Without needing to ask or say, it was obvious from just one look at how Number Thirteen ate that he had known hunger, and moreover, with the way he was eating, he must have received some kind of training.
Gao Yang began to feel curious about Number Thirteen, and at that moment, Number Thirteen pointed to the papers in his hand and said gravely, “You haven’t looked at it yet.
I’m eager to discuss the price, but that will have to wait until you’ve seen the information.”
Gao Yang nodded sheepishly, then used the act of sipping coffee to hide his embarrassment.
However, after finally taking a careful look at Number Thirteen’s information, Gao Yang suppressed the urge to spray out his coffee, then with one hand holding the coffee and the other the information, and occasionally glancing at Number Thirteen with a look of surprise, he finished reading Number Thirteen’s information in a rather peculiar fashion.

Missions with certain death.
The above was the information of Number Thirteen, or rather, his resume.
It was like the personal resume provided when searching for a job, only that Number Thirteen’s resume only displayed personal abilities and would not write or boast about his previous exploits.
Holding Number Thirteen’s list, and then looking at the stern-faced Number Thirteen, Gao Yang began to understand why Number Thirteen’s way of eating was so unique – because this guy was absolutely a killer who had undergone long-term professional training.
Assassin was a generic term, but from the information provided by Number Thirteen, this person was definitely linked to the profession of an assassin, whether trained by a country or some mysterious organization, in short, Number Thirteen belonged to that category of people.
The information provided by Number Thirteen was very interesting and entertaining; Gao Yang felt it refreshing, yet couldn’t help thinking about two people.
During the mission in South Africa to save Grand Ivan, he had interacted with Lion and Medusa.
It was a miracle that Gao Yang could save Grand Ivan, a miracle for anyone, and this miracle could not have happened without two extremely important preconditions: one was Gao Yang’s gunmanship, and the other was Medusa’s disguise.
Without either of these, Grand Ivan could not have been rescued.
And now, it was explicitly written on Number Thirteen’s resume that he was skilled in disguise.
Gao Yang had been put in touch with the Cleaners through an introduction by Grand Ivan, and now the Number Thirteen sitting in front of him was from the Cleaners.
Gao Yang figured that since he could contact the Cleaners, Ivan had no reason not to be able to, so the two people Ivan had brought in to rescue Grand Ivan, Lion and Medusa, were also very likely from the Cleaners.
After quickly organizing his thoughts, Gao Yang looked at Number Thirteen, put the paper down, and asked, “How much money are you thinking of?”
Number Thirteen stretched out his hand, saying, “If you’re done, please return my personal resume to me.”
So Number Thirteen also called it a resume.
Gao Yang couldn’t help but smile before handing the resume back to Number Thirteen.
After carefully folding his resume and slipping it back into his pocket, Number Thirteen said unhurriedly, “Fifty million dollars.”
Gao Yang inhaled sharply; the reason was simple.
Number Thirteen’s skills might be worth that much, but his mission wasn’t, and an important reason was that he couldn’t come up with fifty million.
To be precise, it was fifty-five million dollars, fifty million for Number Thirteen, and five million for the Cleaners.
Gao Yang scratched his head and said, “I don’t have that much money.”
Number Thirteen shrugged and replied, “I know you, and I know Satan.
From the information I’ve received, you guys are quite capable of making money.
I think you should be able to come up with it.
Moreover, what I’ve heard about you doesn’t quite match your behavior.
You’re said to be generous, and as a mercenary, you’re pretty good, but I didn’t expect you to refuse my price.
Why is that?”
Gao Yang spread his hands and said, “I’m glad to hear I have a good reputation, but unfortunately, I truly don’t have that much money.”
Number Thirteen scratched his head and said, “This is indeed a problem.
Based on your past behavior, you don’t seem like you’re lying.
Alright, I choose to believe you.
So, how much money can you put out?”
Gao Yang didn’t know what Number Thirteen meant, but he felt there might be room to haggle, so after thinking it over, he said gravely, “I only have about twelve million dollars.
That should be it.
I don’t even know how much money I have, oh, and I have to deduct one million because I need to pay Murphy a consulting fee of one million dollars.
I swear I’m not lying.”
Gao Yang played a little trick.
The matter of revenge for Bruce was funded together by Satan, everyone chipped in what they had, but Gao only mentioned how much money he had.
Number Thirteen nodded and said, “If you don’t have money, then it can’t be helped.
Eleven million is eleven million then, I’ll take it.”
Gao Yang felt that cleaners never bargained, but he didn’t expect that not only did he successfully haggle, but he also drastically cut down the price.
Yet, Number Thirteen’s attitude made him feel like he was the one who got played.
It was like shopping in a small store for clothes; the proprietor asks for five hundred, the buyer counters with a hundred, and after the proprietor joyfully accepts, the buyer feels like they still didn’t bargain hard enough and should have offered twenty to seal the deal.
Fortunately, the next thing Number Thirteen said made Gao Yang feel like he was the one getting the bargain.
“Actually, my standard fee for a job has never been less than thirty million.
However, I think you’re a trustworthy person and I need the money right now, so a little less is okay.”
Gao Yang smiled and said, “I don’t even know what kind of good reputation I have, but alright, since you accept my offer, we have a deal.”
Number Thirteen took the initiative to reach out and shook hands with Gao Yang.
Gao Yang found that Number Thirteen’s hand was fine and long, like a woman’s.
After shaking hands, Number Thirteen said seriously, “Now, I begin working for you.
Since you’ve become the boss, you can ask any questions you have.
If it’s something I can talk about, I’ll answer in detail.”
Gao Yang immediately asked, “You said you can do makeup.
How exceptional is your makeup skill, um, another question, the Lion, or Medusa, do you understand what I’m talking about?”
Number Thirteen laughed and said, “You’re overstepping.”
Gao Yang felt a bit embarrassed and said, “Sorry.”
Gao Yang thought that Lion and Medusa should be cleaners.
If Number Thirteen didn’t know them, he would have no special reaction to those two words, or would simply say he didn’t know.
But Number Thirteen said that Gao was overstepping.
After laughing again, Number Thirteen said, “I know what you want to ask.
Medusa, she and I were taught makeup by the same person.”
Gao Yang’s eyes widened; he didn’t want to appear too surprised, but unfortunately, he wasn’t good at hiding his emotions.
Number Thirteen slowly said, “My makeup skill is rated as excellent, Medusa’s skill is also rated as excellent.
Now you should have a fairly good idea of the level of my makeup skill.”
Gao Yang nodded and replied, “Thank you, I didn’t expect you to tell me.”
Number Thirteen shook his head and said, “It’s nothing.
The two people you mentioned, they’re not cleaners, so I can talk about them.
As long as it doesn’t involve cleaner secrets, I can speak freely.”
Gao Yang realized he had been mistaken and blurted out, “Not cleaners!”
Number Thirteen responded indifferently, “They are assassins, always have been.
And me, I used to be part of the same organization as them.
But eventually, I joined a subsidiary of the cleaners, and they didn’t.
That’s our relationship.
Anything else you want to ask?”
Gao Yang thought for a moment, found his mind a bit cluttered due to the coincidences and the shock Number Thirteen had given him.
After taking a breath, Gao Yang shook his head and said, “I can’t think of anything else to ask at the moment, um, maybe we should talk about the mission now.
You understand what the task is, right?”
“Yes, I have a general idea, but now is not a good time to discuss the action.
I need to do some research.”
Gao Yang nodded and asked, “Okay, then when do I pay you?”
“After the job is done, that’s the rule.”
Gao Yang smiled and replied, “Alright, maybe we should chat now, oh, you’ve already eaten, and I haven’t.
If you don’t mind, I’d like to eat something now.”
Number Thirteen said seriously, “Eating is important, you should certainly eat.
I enjoy watching people eat.”
After calling the waitress over and ordering some food while she giggled at Number Thirteen, and waiting for the waitress to leave, Gao Yang laughed and said, “You just said I was a rich man, but now I’m a poor man because I have to give you all my money, haha, just kidding.”
Number Thirteen seriously replied, “Okay, I’ll treat you to this meal.
Besides, I have a habit or rather a wish.
If you can fulfill my wish, I won’t just not take your money, I’ll give you all my money.
If you think my money is not enough, then I can do anything for you, anything!”
Gao Yang asked curiously, “What is your wish?”
Number Thirteen said solemnly, “Eating is very important, extremely so!
And someone else’s wish, especially one that’s impossible to fulfill with you, and thus could save you a large sum of money, is not important to you.
You should attend to the important things first, then you can ask me what my wish is.” (To be continued.
