Mercenary's War

Chapter 2400 - 2376: This Isn’t Over

Gao Yang shot at the leg of the soldier who rushed out, then immediately fired a second bullet at the soldier’s hand, worrying that the soldier might shoot after being shot, so it was safer to take the gun down.Gao Yang’s shooting speed was too fast, so the consequences of firing two shots were not much different from firing just one; anyway, after the soldier fell to the ground, the large group of people in standoff around him did not immediately start shooting.

Firing a shot is very dangerous; in such a standoff, if someone suddenly fires, it is likely to cause everyone to shoot simultaneously, which would be truly dangerous.

If it weren’t for hearing Mr. Lavagani shout not to move, Gao Yang wouldn’t have fired his gun, but after Lavagani shouted, the situation became slightly better; at least those Iranians wouldn’t fire immediately upon hearing gunshots.

The atmosphere was still extremely tense, but Gao Yang was now very experienced; he knew how to determine the direction of the situation during a tense standoff.

"Are you really prepared to have a shootout with me? Do you really plan to turn a personal vendetta into an unmanageable international crisis?"

Gao Yang shouted loudly, in Russian.

Using Russian was important, it reminded Lavagani to consider his background.

After shouting twice, Gao Yang pressed the muzzle of his gun against Lavagani’s head again, and said loudly, "If this is what you want, then bring it on!"

He spoke arrogantly, but Gao Yang was waiting for Salim to speak up; only if Salim spoke, could he give Lavagani an escape route, so that only then could Lavagani back down gracefully.

"Stop! Everybody stop! Calm down, calm down!"

Salim had to play the peacemaker; he rushed over and sincerely pleaded with Gao Yang, "Brother, I beg you, let it end here, stop now, let it end here."

Lavagani came with many people to snatch the spoils, but tonight was absolutely not the scene for a shootout, Lavagani wouldn’t dare; so after the peacemaker appeared, Gao Yang could not remain entirely unresponsive, but he definitely would not actively retreat.

Lavagani is the kind of person who relentlessly pushes boundaries, Gao Yang’s two concessions did not satisfy Lavagani enough to restrain himself, so Gao Yang doesn’t intend to actually kill Lavagani, but he certainly won’t back down a third time.

Gao Yang looked at Salim, shook his head, and said quietly, "Brother, I’m sorry, not that I’m disrespecting you, but I really don’t want to back down anymore; do you know how I deal with people like this?"

Gao Yang turned his gaze to Lavagani, and said coldly, "For annoying flies, my choice is to swat them dead."

Lavagani broke out in a cold sweat again, then he said in a low voice, "You wouldn’t dare!"

Lavagani had once again made a formidable stance inappropriately, leaving Gao Yang quite helpless because he realized he couldn’t completely control the direction of the situation, simply because Lavagani always made untimely decisions.

Gao Yang coldly grinned as he pondered whether to shoot Lavagani in the arm or the leg; but shooting Lavagani might truly turn the standoff into a shootout chaos, and Gao Yang felt causing casualties in such an unnecessary dispute is really not worth it.

What should be done.

Gao Yang felt very helpless, but right at that moment, the right person finally appeared.

"Stop! Stop! Everybody stop!"

A vehicle quickly approached, and while it was still moving, someone stuck his body out from the window and yelled loudly; Abdullah finally arrived.

The vehicle came to a stop, Abdullah quickly rushed over, and after just taking a glance, shouted loudly, "What are you doing? Mr. Petram! Put down the gun! I tell you to put down the gun!"

Abdullah’s tone was far from polite, but Gao Yang wasn’t angry at all; instead, he immediately compliantly put down the gun.

Abdullah took two deep breaths, then said irritably, "Gentlemen, I need an explanation!"

Gao Yang promptly said, "There’s nothing to explain; no one can snatch my spoils from me! The spoils are not mine, they belong to the Houthis Armed Forces, but now I’m using them, so they’re mine; no one can take them away."

After speaking, Gao Yang glanced at Lavagani, then at Abdullah, and then said firmly, "I come holding an olive branch, I don’t want it to slip from my hand, but I want to say, I am more used to and prefer holding a gun!"

Gao Yang’s words were harsh, expressing his extreme dissatisfaction with Lavagani’s actions, daring to provoke him into a fight; more severely, they also expressed dissatisfaction with the Houthis Armed Forces.

Yemen has numerous tribal armed groups and rampant warlords; Russia can support the Houthis Armed Forces, but switching support to another armed force wouldn’t be much trouble either.

Abdullah knew why the conflict happened, he looked towards Lavagani, suppressing his anger and said, "Mr. Lavagani, this is Yemen! This is Yemen!"

Abdullah was somewhat losing his composure as he would definitely not like Lavagani’s sovereign demeanor; no one would.

Lavagani’s expression alternated between stormy and calm, then he slowly said, "Concentrating resources is more favorable; we agreed, but Mr. Petram wants to break the currently stable cooperation relationship, I..."

"Break your mother’s head!"

Gao Yang unabashedly cursed out; playing a courteous gentleman was completely meaningless at this time.

Gao Yang pointed his finger at Lavagani’s chest, viciously saying, "Lavagani, you are an idiot, you know that? I’m insulting you like this, and what are you going to do about it? I know you don’t want to break Iran’s dominant position here, but can you stop us from getting involved? Can the people behind you stop us? Using such methods only demonstrates your ineptitude, what else does it show?"

"Shut up! You..."

"Shut up!"

Gao Yang shouted furiously, overpowering Lavagani’s voice, then said through gritted teeth, "Accept the reality! You can’t afford the consequences of provoking me; what if I shoot you dead, what then? Can you try it? Then try it, because you’ve already provoked me!"

Gao Yang turned and walked away, leaving behind one last remark.

"This issue is not over!"

Gao Yang returned to his group, then waved his hand and shouted loudly, "Advance! Whoever dares to block us, crush them!"

Rebrov immediately issued a loud command in Russian, then the self-propelled artillery he was in roared out, crashing through the car blocking the gate, forcing those Iranian soldiers to clear a path.

Nobody dare shoot; nobody could shoot at this point; watching the self-propelled artillery crash open a path and proceed through, Gao Yang waved his hand and shouted loudly, "Regroup!"

The Dagger Assault Team began moving behind the self-propelled artillery; they glared unreservedly at Lavagani and those Iranian soldiers.

When Gao Yang, leading his group, calmly left, Gao Yang suddenly stopped, pointed at Lavagani and said, "This matter isn’t over!"
