Mercenary's War

Chapter 2341 - 2317: Seeking Battle

Among the three people, Gao Yang has the weakest strength, but he has a major power behind him, so Gao Yang’s stance is also quite important; otherwise, he wouldn’t have been specifically invited here.Remarkably, Lavagani had no objection to Gao Yang’s presence, and to avoid provoking Lavagani, Gao Yang used very mild terms, saying he agreed with the decisions of Lavagani and Abdullah.

This is a significant matter. To take action means the Houthis Armed Forces will immediately be drawn into a war, but as the three of them spoke, the wheels of war began to roll.

The Houthis Armed Forces are certainly well-prepared. Their mobilization capability is very strong. Once they decide to act, the outcome of events in Sanaa is already determined. Gao Yang can’t help much, nor is he needed, so at this moment, Gao Yang’s presence is very weak.

However, Lavagani seems eager to boost Gao Yang’s presence. He looked at Gao Yang and spoke slowly, "Mr. Petram, I wonder if you have any plans for the specific actions?"

Lavagani’s action was strange because he bypassed Abdullah to inquire if Gao Yang had any plans, which was inappropriate because, in any case, Lavagani should have spoken with Abdullah first.

To directly skip Abdullah and ask Gao Yang would be a slap to Abdullah’s face, so Gao Yang’s first reaction was that this was Lavagani’s scheme.

A scheme, surely a scheme, either to deliberately elevate Gao Yang to provoke Abdullah’s displeasure, thus creating discord between them. Anyway, Gao Yang’s first thought was exactly that.

"I’m not familiar with the situation here, and I have no plans. I believe Mr. Abdullah already has a mature plan, so I just need to cooperate with Abdullah’s plan."

Gao Yang refused to fall into the trap, so he maintained a low profile, and after Abdullah smiled, he nodded at Gao Yang.

Who is Jim? He couldn’t fail to notice the anomaly, and it was certainly his turn to mediate, but just as Jim was about to speak, Lavagani hurriedly said, "Mr. Petram’s subordinates are very capable. How could there be no plan? You just need to send a few subordinates, and I think no one in the entire Sanaa City can stop you."

After impatiently finishing, Lavagani waved his finger and smiled, "Of course, I also have great confidence in the people I brought. Now I have an idea. Can we form a strike team composed entirely of the most elite soldiers? But to select the most elite soldiers, we need to do some screening. I think we could let the subordinates compete and see who is the most elite. Mr. Petram, what do you think?"

Even if a strike team were to be formed, it’s impossible for Russian soldiers and Iranians to be grouped together, so the suggestion of competing first to form the strike team is just a poor excuse.

Gao Yang suddenly understood; Lavagani was indignant and wanted to regain his standing.

Having his subordinates beaten and dragged away and himself being locked in a room to get beaten, it’s strange if Lavagani wasn’t furious. So, even with a poor excuse, he wanted a chance to regain a round, and in a way that wouldn’t lead to post-accountability or diplomatic disputes.

If you openly spar and lose, so what? Go home and complain if you don’t mind losing face; otherwise, keep it to yourself.

No wonder Lavagani brought a few strong and burly men, appearing exceptionally confident. He came well-prepared.

Gao Yang, who had a top-notch fighter, almost laughed out loud. He feared many things, but not this!

"We’ll be taking action tomorrow. Now it’s not quite suitable to compete to select a strike team, right? How about we wait until the situation stabilizes to compete?"

Abdullah spoke slowly, but Lavagani stared at Gao Yang and said in a deep voice, "It’ll be quick, and it won’t take much time. The strike team doesn’t need too many people, so even if someone gets injured and needs to recuperate, it won’t affect the big picture, right? Mr. Petram?"

"Exactly, it won’t take much time, but..."

Gao Yang looked outside, then said with a troubled expression, "I only brought one person. Perhaps I can call him over, or you can bring your men with me for a bit?"

Lavagani smiled slightly and said, "I see that young man outside is your bodyguard?"

Lavagani’s bodyguard was beaten, so he wanted to beat Gao Yang’s bodyguard in return. Gao Yang couldn’t say Joseph wasn’t his bodyguard because Joseph appeared in every way as a bodyguard. It would be embarrassing to deny it now.

Without waiting for Gao Yang to respond, Lavagani suddenly raised his voice and said loudly, "Dahir, you guys come in."

Six Iranians came in one after another and stood in front of Lavagani. Lavagani pointed at his men and said seemingly casually, "They are subordinates who came with me to Yemen, and they’re not professionally trained people, but I’m confident in their skills. Mr. Petram, why don’t we let them have a friendly match with your bodyguard here? Your bodyguard can choose any opponent."

Lavagani wasn’t giving Gao Yang a chance to refuse, directly blocking any retreat for Gao Yang.

Joseph is a newcomer. Upon coming to Satan, he didn’t even have a nickname, and at this time, Gao Yang couldn’t call Joseph by his real name, so Gao Yang simply shouted, "Come in."

Joseph stepped in quickly.

Gao Yang looked at Lavagani’s bodyguards, each one bigger than Joseph, and although he had confidence in Joseph, Gao Yang wasn’t sure who Lavagani brought here specifically and how powerful they might be.

Gao Yang didn’t know Joseph well enough, and as a bodyguard trained specifically to protect national leaders, it’s unlikely Joseph would choose to fight in close combat. Though he probably wasn’t bad at it, it shouldn’t be his main focus. So whether he could defeat the people Lavagani brought to save face, Gao Yang really wasn’t confident.

Even if lacking confidence, it shouldn’t be shown. Gao Yang looked at Joseph and said lightly, "Did you hear our conversation?"

"I heard, sir."

Lavagani, eager to turn the tables, wasn’t willing to let the opportunity slip. He shouted, "Then choose someone to compete with!"

Aggressively, Lavagani left no room for Gao Yang to relax, but while he blocked Gao Yang’s retreat, he also sealed his own retreat.

Joseph ignored Lavagani and looked at Gao Yang, yet from Joseph’s eyes, Gao Yang could see Joseph’s intense desire to fight.

Joseph was seeking a fight.

Gao Yang smiled, nodded, and said, "Then go ahead and choose an opponent."
