580: Chapter 575: Soul Character
The special gun prepared for Rafael was on another ship, but as an interdiary vessel, there were plenty of guns available, any of which could be used by Rafael.
Rafael’s gunmanship was not bad either, which actually was not worth any surprise.
For soone who had served in the military and continued to work in military-related fields after retiring, it would be abnormal if his gunmanship were poor.
The main show had to wait until the end.
Little Donnie had everything Rafael needed well-prepared: Hexogen, C4, and all other necessary equipnt.
C4 is a plastic explosive with less power than Hexogen, but it’s like a ball of flour that can be freely molded into any shape.
With so sticky substances added, it can be conveniently attached like chewing gum, and it’s also very safe, making C4 the most frequently used material.
After all the items were laid out in front of Rafael, he quickly assembled three low-power fireworks.
However, it wasn’t possible to find a structure on the ship for Rafael to test.
After assembling the explosives, Rafael looked at Gao Yang with a troubled expression and asked, “How should I test them?”
Gao Yang pointed to the sea and said, “Throw them in there, try to demonstrate your skills as best as you can.”
Rafael shrugged and replied, “That way, it’s hard to show my true abilities.”
Rafael threw three dummy bombs into the sea and detonated them using an electronic detonator.
However, after doing so, Rafael said with a troubled look, “This is too simple.
Anyone could do it; it doesn’t showcase my value.”
Tommy chuckled and said, “That’s a familiar scenario, I’ve faced the sa challenge before.
Rafael, you can add so difficulty yourself, that’s what I did.”
Rafael looked troubled and after thinking for a while, he shook his head and said, “The difficulty in breaching depends greatly on the type of building; it’s not just about setting off the explosives.
Well, could I take a look in the kitchen and bathroom on the ship?”
Gao Yang spread his hands and said, “Suit yourself, as long as you don’t enter any private rooms, you can go wherever you want.”
“Thanks, give
about half an hour,” Rafael said.
After dropping that remark, Rafael hurried into the cabin, and after about half an hour, he returned to the deck carrying a plastic bucket.
After opening the plastic bucket and letting Gao Yang and the others see the contents, Rafael smiled and said, “I made a large bomb using so stuff from the kitchen and bathroom.
It’s not very powerful, but it’s definitely loud enough.”
Curious, Gao Yang asked, “What kind of stuff?
What materials did you use?”
Rafael listed so very common items; he had used these ordinary, everyday chemical products along with flour as a stabilizer to create a large dummy bomb.
After a simple demonstration and explanation, Rafael tossed the plastic bucket into the sea.
The ensuing explosion was a thunderous blast.
Gao Yang dug at his ears and laughed, “Indeed, that was loud enough.
Alright, you are now a non-official mber of the Satan rcenary Corps.
When everyone feels you are ready to formally join, then you can truly beco a mber.
Now, let’s talk about your compensation.
During the probation period, your salary will be the base of ten thousand US dollars plus bonuses, or you could forgo the base salary and choose to share in our profits and spoils of war.
I sympathize with your current situation, so I suggest you take the profit-sharing option.
Of course, during your probation period, your share of the profits and spoils will be less.
It’s your decision.”
Rafael didn’t hesitate and said, “A base salary won’t help my predicant at all, I choose the rights to share profits and collect spoils.
I’ve already heard about Satan’s style and achievents.
I also know that even as a newcor, I can receive substantial profits.
Sir, the Satan rcenary Corps has a very good reputation in this regard.”
Tommy gave an embarrassed smile and said, “You’re smarter than , having chosen the profit-sharing model right away.
Believe , your choice is definitely the right one.”
Gao Yang, however, rubbed his head, puzzled, and said, “How we split the money, we haven’t talked about that to outsiders, have we?
How did such a reputation get out?”
Embarrassed, Tommy replied, “Boss, I’ve ntioned it to so people before.
I’m sorry.
If you think it should have been kept confidential, I won’t ntion it to anyone anymore.”
Bruce was also visibly tense as he said, “Boss, I’ve talked to people about this too.
Does this need to be kept a secret?
I’ve never ntioned the specific sums of money, just that I’ve got a very generous boss.”
Tommy quickly added, “ too.
I’ve never ntioned the specific sums.
I know it counts as a business secret, so I didn’t share specifics with anyone.”
Rafael hesitated before saying, “I heard about it from my teacher, who heard it from the Angel rcenary Corps.
My teacher told
that the leader of the Angel rcenary Corps, Nate, highly recomnded that I join Satan.
Nate also said that the Satan rcenary Corps are capable, the mbers are reliable, and most importantly, you can make money and the boss is very generous.
I was really drawn in by that, yeah, irresistibly so.”
Glolov laughed heartily and said, “Believe , as an old rcenary who’s been a free rcenary and even a mber of Trident, I’ve never seen a leader as generous as Gao.
Sticking with him, you won’t have to complain about risking your life and the boss hogging the lion’s share.”
Antoncel also expressed, “Gao is a generous person.
He treats the people around him well.
Being with him, you’d feel embarrassed to be stingy.
Yeah, that’s what Bob told .
Anyway, Rafael, you’ve got yourself a good boss.”
Gao Yang chuckled and said, “How co it turned into praising ?
I’d feel embarrassed.
Plus, Big Dog, and Rabbit and Toad, to use a trendy phrase, you guys are all original shareholders of Satan.
If you’re thanking the generous boss, you’re all part of it, too.”
Cui Bo waved his hand and said, “Knock it off, you’re the one who gathered us all.
You’re the core, and no offense, but change the leader and see what happens.
I sure couldn’t do it.
People would probably have scattered long ago.”
Frey spoke firmly, “I get along well with everyone, and what I’m about to say might hurt, but while I can be the best of friends and comrades with everyone here, there’s still only one person I truly follow—the Boss!”
A team is sothing everyone builds together, but Gao Yang certainly is the crucial soul here.
Ever since Gao Yang and his three comrades decided on a whim to form the Satan rcenary Corps to earn better commissions, losing any mber would be a great loss, but without Gao Yang, there would be no Satan rcenary Corps; even if the na remained, Satan’s soul would be gone.
As the soul of the group, Gao Yang stamped the Satan rcenary Corps with his strong personal style.
Not to ntion the combat style, just speaking about the team atmosphere, in a profession where rcenaries risk their lives for money, there are very few people like Gao Yang who aren’t that concerned about money.
Nations’ armies fight for country, duty, and honor, but rcenaries just fight for money.
However, with a leader in the Satan rcenary Corps who values loyalty over profit, it brings about a team with the sa ethos.
People who don’t et this standard just can’t join, making the Satan rcenary Corps’ atmosphere quite rare in the rcenary circles—a place where mbers won’t dissolve the group over money, a phenonon all too common in other rcenary groups.
Since rcenaries fight for money, it’s normal for internal conflicts to arise over interests.
If resentnt accumulates among the mbers, on the battlefield, just not shooting their commander or comrades in the back is pretty good.
How can they comfortably entrust their lives to such companions?
A few people or a small group’s internal unity is normal, but as rcenaries across an entire rcenary group, being able to share life and death with everyone is almost unique to Satan, aside from Angel.
Of course, the Angels are a bunch of lunatics banded together not for money, which is why the atmosphere of Angel rcenary Corps can be eerily similar to that of Satan.
Frey’s words made the atmosphere slightly somber.
For Frey, Gao Yang, who had single-handedly rescued him from dire straits, was his savior.
Thus, Frey was willing to give his all for Gao Yang and indeed, he had backed up that resolution with real action.
Frey got along exceptionally well with everyone in Satan, but the most important person to him was always Gao Yang.
When Gao Yang was ntioned, Frey couldn’t help but speak so truly unnecessary words, but of course, knowing Frey’s past, people like Glolov wouldn’t mind.
Gao Yang waved his hand again and said, “Enough, enough, we’re all on the sa path, and that’s why we ca together.
Let’s stop praising each other.
Hey, Eileen, we haven’t settled your terms yet.
Everyone is here now.
What do you think?
Well, the conditions will be the sa as Rafael’s.
You choose.
”
Eileen shrugged and said, “I don’t mind, um, the sa as Rafael, then, sir.
I’m still an unofficial mber, right?”
Gao Yang laughed and said, “Of course, an unofficial mber.”
Eileen shook her head and said, “I don’t like the term ‘unofficial mber.’ Sir, how do I beco a full mber?”
Gao Yang pointed to the others and smiled, “Whenever all the official mbers feel you qualify, you will be a full mber.
There’s no fixed standard.
Maybe the next mont, you’ll be a full mber, or maybe you’ll never beco one until you leave or are dismissed.”
Eileen clenched her fist and said, “I believe I will beco a full mber very soon, definitely very soon.” (To be continued.
