Mercenary's War-Chapter 2163 - 2140: The Rescue Is Over, Revenge Begins

Glolov took out Gao Yang’s satellite phone, handed it to Gao Yang, who was still excited about having brought Fatino out, and said in a low voice, "Number Thirteen took the phone and then gave it to me. Less than five minutes after he returned to your residence and took your phone, Mario’s people followed right away."

Gao Yang took the phone and said with emotion, "That was close, but Number Thirteen did a good job this time. I didn’t expect him to manage to escape."

After saying a few words with Glolov, Gao Yang held the phone and said, "I’ll call Ivan first."

When he dialed Ivan’s number and Ivan answered, he joyously said, "Oh, Ram, really glad that you’ve finally woken up."

Gao Yang said in a low voice, "I’m glad I’ve woken up too, buddy. How are things now? I heard there’s quite a commotion."

Ivan sighed and said, "The situation is very complicated right now, extremely complicated. That’s why I’ve paused everything on this side and am still observing. There are differing opinions within the Italian Government, and it seems that those advocating for observation have the upper hand for now. But Mario is still actively maneuvering, hoping to get the Italian Government to step in and help. And if the Italian Government really gets involved personally, we’ll have to use more drastic measures to deter them. If we can’t deter, there’s no way out; we’ll have to withdraw."

Gao Yang was startled and said, "The Italian Government would stand on Mario’s side and directly enter the fray? I mean, they’re not playing the role of the police, they’re planning to stand on Mario’s side and directly send people into battle?"

"For now, yes. I don’t know what price Mario paid, but it definitely wasn’t small."

Gao Yang said with difficulty, "If Italy is going to directly step in and not play the role of the fire brigade, you have to withdraw, Ivan."

Ivan smiled and said, "No, not necessarily. The situation is very complex right now, but we won’t necessarily lose to Mario in Italy. I’ve had some bombs placed but haven’t detonated them yet. If Italy wholeheartedly wants to help Mario, we’ll ignite the fire towards ordinary people. Also, the Cicero Family is very strong, but if it comes to real battle, they can’t do it! Intelligence dealers are used to playing with words, not actions. They’re at most skilled in assassination. True hard battles are not for intelligence dealers. Now we’re here for a life-and-death fight, the Cicero Family doesn’t dare to risk their lives with us."

With an indifferent attitude, Ivan continued, "So it all depends on the Italian Government’s stance. As long as the Italian Government doesn’t directly step in and take preventive strikes, we’re not afraid! There are many underground forces in Italy eyeing us. We’re not competing for interests, we’re just aiming at Cicero Family’s people! Just finish them off and retreat. Doing this will be welcomed by the local forces in Italy. As long as we can take out Mario, the Cicero Family will become prey, and we’ll have many free allies joining this hunt against the Cicero Family!"

Gao Yang thought about it, and what Ivan said might really be possible. The Cicero Family existed for hundreds of years, and their accumulated wealth is enough to arouse many people’s greed. When a big family falls, countless people will feast on the spoils. So the Cicero Family’s enormous wealth is not only capital but also a root of the disaster.

The Cicero Family cannot lack allies, but also cannot lack enemies. Just the Cicero Family’s legitimate businesses have numerous people eyeing them. If Grand Ivan doesn’t compete for the Cicero Family’s territory, doesn’t compete for business, and doesn’t compete for any wealth, just targets the Cicero Family members to strike hard, it can indeed attract many allies to join in.

The vast majority of wars, can’t say all, at least most are still because of interests. The particularity of the war between Grand Ivan and Mario lies in that it isn’t caused by interests, but purely due to a dispute of dignity, or rather, a war of revenge.

So in a war targeting the Cicero Family, which doesn’t involve interests, yet another big boss from a different industry starts the war, once the Cicero Family falls, as many can feast, there’ll be that many trying to take advantage.

Gao Yang didn’t speak, thought carefully, then said in a low voice, "Then, what specific things are there, what should we do, how should we cooperate."

Ivan said solemnly, "Of course, we should ensure you can leave safely. This war was instigated because of you. If you ultimately die here, what meaning does this war have? Until now, Italy has not made a final decision, but the troops they dispatched have been withdrawn. During this precious buffer period, leave Sicily as soon as possible and reach a relatively safe place first."

"Okay, we’ll leave as soon as possible. After that?"

Ivan smiled and said, "After that? After that, it’s up to you. Now this battle, we have to continue fighting. Knowing you, you wouldn’t just leave, would you?"

Gao Yang looked down at his crotch, then sighed deeply and said in a low voice, "Just now, I wet my pants again, buddy. I’ve been tortured terribly, very terribly, really terribly. Yake had his eye gouged out, just in front of me, they gouged out one of his eyes. Both of us are disabled, and one might not even survive. I came because Mario invited me to meet him, not to start a war with him."

After saying this slowly, Gao Yang clenched his fist and said solemnly, "Ivan, if it were you, what would you do?"

Ivan smiled and said, "No need to say, just do it, until everyone’s dead." 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

Gao Yang also smiled and said, "That’s right, just do it, till everyone’s dead. Either Mario and his Cicero family are finished, or we are."

Ivan was silent for a moment and suddenly said, "Then what about Justin? Where is he? Do you think Justin is involved in this incident?"

Ivan was asking a question Gao Yang pondered countless times during his torment.

Why does Mario believe Gao Yang knows Justin’s whereabouts?

It was this point that made Mario determined to lure Gao Yang and make a move. To say it has nothing to do with Justin, Gao Yang doesn’t believe it. If not for Justin, Mario wouldn’t even know he exists. So, reaching this point, Gao Yang must suspect whether Justin deliberately set a trap for Mario to deal with him, thus involving Gao Yang in an undeserved disaster.

But even now, Gao Yang still doesn’t know the answer, so he just said lightly, "I don’t know. Right now, I don’t know where Justin is, nor what role he played in this matter. For now, let’s deal with the current affairs first. Unless Justin never appears, as long as he does, I’ll make sure he gives me an explanation."

Ivan said solemnly, "Then, retaliate first?"

Gao Yang firmly said, "Yes, retaliate first. Now that the rescue operation is over, start the retaliation immediately, retaliate fully."
