Mercenary's War-Chapter 2102 - 2079: So You’re This Amazing

Now, Yelena is focused solely on studying and practicing, practicing and studying. She must ensure she graduates smoothly so that Gao Yang can keep his promise to marry her after she graduates and then retire.

Therefore, the future of the world’s smallest mercenary group is determined by a Juilliard School student. Once she graduates, Satan will have to say goodbye to the mercenary profession. While Satan will still exist, it certainly won’t continue in the form of a mercenary group. Perhaps Djo should lament his bad luck; if he could have held out for another year until Yelena graduated, Satan wouldn’t have sought him out, and Rabbit wouldn’t have made that stunning shot. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

Some things are truly perplexing. Yelena is clearly a genius in music, recognized as the Star of Tomorrow by a master, and she’s beautiful too. How did she develop feelings for Gao Yang at the tender age of sixteen?

Love is not just about conditions. Even when Gao Yang was a poor boy, a mercenary with no money in his pocket and no foreseeable future, Yelena was unwaveringly committed to him and remains devoted to this day.

It’s inevitable. Gao Yang appeared suddenly in Yelena’s most destitute, difficult, helpless, and dangerous time, playing the role of a savior with a few deft shots. Everything that happened after that was irrelevant. From the moment Gao Yang played the superhero in front of Yelena for the first time, the security-deprived Yelena could never love anyone else again.

Some fates are truly destined by heaven. Yelena was swift and determined in capturing Gao Yang, and she naturally refuses to let go. She wouldn’t let go even if it killed her; if it couldn’t, then she definitely wouldn’t let go.

They’ve been through so many trials and tribulations that some things go without saying. Even if Gao Yang wanted to back out now, could he really retreat?

The Yemen plan is imminent. Bruce’s revenge has not been fully executed. After all Satan had done in the light of day, Gao Yang, even if he wanted to retreat, couldn’t do it easily.

As long as Gao Yang remains in this line of work, he has resources. Having resources is the premise for keeping secrets. If Gao Yang truly retreated, cleanly and thoroughly, would the Cleaner Firewalls protecting him still do so?

Gao Yang can’t just simply quit; the most he can do is transition, ceasing to be a mercenary. Yet, he must have enough power at hand to protect himself.

Gao Yang and Yelena have gone through so many storms together that some things go without saying. Yelena is not unaware of Gao Yang’s plight, so she never pressures him, although she knows her existence is itself a pressure for Gao Yang.

After the two embraced for a long time, Gao Yang turned around, gently lifted Yelena’s chin, and smiled: "I’ll call you often. Wait for me. When you graduate, I’ll definitely come for you, so don’t worry. I won’t get into any trouble. You know I’m a man of my word."

Yelena softly responded: "I’ll wait for you."

Whenever it’s about parting, the atmosphere eventually becomes heavy. But Gao Yang and Yelena tacitly avoid heavy topics, trying not to think too far ahead, keeping the cheerful atmosphere of the present.

"Let’s go eat. What do you want to eat?"

Yelena chuckled and said: "You should be asking what you want to eat."

Gao Yang patted Yelena and laughed: "Get dressed. Let’s take a walk and think it over slowly."

It was already evening. The two walked hand in hand under the setting sun, making a beautiful picture.

What to eat wasn’t important, but the problem was there weren’t any restaurants near the house Gao Yang bought, so after their walk, they eventually had to drive to find a restaurant. On their way back, Yelena’s phone rang.

Yelena took out her phone, glanced at the number, furrowed her brow, and after a moment’s hesitation, decided to answer it.

"Hello, Professor."

"Yelena, about what we discussed last time, have you thought it over?"

Gao Yang was very close to Yelena, so although her voice on the phone was not loud, he could hear it.

Yelena, without hesitation, said: "I’ve thought it over. I don’t want to participate."

"Yelena, I don’t want to interfere with your thoughts, but your chance is really significant. You know how rare this opportunity is. Why don’t you think about it a bit more?"

Yelena softly replied: "I’m sorry, Professor. My boyfriend just came back, and we have little time together, so I need to hang up. We can discuss this issue again later, okay?"

"Your boyfriend? Is he there? Can I speak to him for a moment?"

"I’m really sorry, but no, Professor. My boyfriend is not in a good state for that. I apologize profusely, but I have to hang up now."

Yelena was about to end the call when Gao Yang quickly said: "I’d like to talk to your professor. I want to know what’s happening."

With a look of hesitation, Yelena finally handed the phone to Gao Yang. Gao Yang, after taking the phone, immediately said: "Hello, I am Yelena’s boyfriend."

"Ah, hello. I know you. I’ve heard of you. I also know you bought the Star of Tomorrow. Here’s the situation: I’ll keep it short. I believe Yelena has a substantial chance of acquiring the artist diploma from Juilliard. I’m optimistic about her, but she doesn’t want to pursue it. I thought you might be able to change her mind."

Gao Yang furrowed his brow and then softly asked: "What is an artist diploma?"

"The world’s hardest diploma to obtain. Each year only zero to one person is admitted. It’s extremely challenging. Even if the two most famous musicians in the world attempted it, only one would be admitted, or none. But I see potential in Yelena. It’s worth a shot, right?"

Gao Yang immediately said: "Yes, I will try to persuade her."

"I think you should support her, too. But there’s another issue: without particularly outstanding credentials, it’s impossible to obtain an artist diploma. For example, winning or placing in an international competition. But Yelena never participates in these competitions. I think, for someone who won the Star of Tomorrow, not competing and showcasing her talent is a real waste, don’t you?"

After talking for a while, Gao Yang ended the call. When he returned the phone to Yelena, he smiled and said: "Your professor said there’s an opportunity for a top-level competition now. All that’s missing is your name on the application form, but you refuse to sign it."

Yelena murmured: "Yes, I don’t want to go because I don’t want to apply for that artist diploma."

Gao Yang exhaled and smiled: "Your professor didn’t say, I didn’t even know you were so impressive. I know why you don’t want to apply for that artist diploma, but believe me, go ahead, register for the competition, bring back a trophy. It’s not just for me but also for your parents to be proud of you."
