1118: Chapter 1123: Gentle Breeze 1118: Chapter 1123: Gentle Breeze “Boss, I’ve taken care of Nicholas.”
Upon hearing Yang Yi’s words, Aaron could hardly believe what he was hearing, “Nicholas is dead?
Are you sure?”
“Yes, I’m absolutely certain.
Although his head was blown apart, I’ve collected so DNA for verification.”
Aaron took a deep breath and said, “You did very well, much better than I had anticipated.
Now that Nicholas is dead, the internal power struggle can co to an end.
All of Nicholas’s territory is yours now, all yours.”
“Thank you, Boss.”
“Don’t thank , you’ve earned it.
But once you take over, make sure to handle things well.
Don’t let too many people harbor grudges.
I know you could kill all those who complain, but that won’t solve the fundantal issues.”
“Of course, Boss, I know what to do.
There won’t be many who have grievances.”
Yang Yi hung up the phone.
Now, the CIA was no longer an obstacle for him.
More precisely, the CIA would no longer obstruct him; instead, they would beco his support.
Yang Yi hung up the phone, then turned to Anton and said, “What should we do next?
Should we launch a fierce attack on the remnants of Nicholas’s forces, or should we appease and win over those left by Nicholas?”
Anton pondered for a mont and replied, “These days, everyone is in it for the money.
If you can offer Nicholas’s n more, then appease them; if you’re going to offer less, then wipe them all out.
However, I suggest letting Jethro personally handle these matters.”
Yang Yi thought for a mont and nodded, “Yes, Jethro should indeed take care of this personally.
As for , it’s ti to head to the United States.
I need to attend to my business at the CIA headquarters.”
After finishing his thoughts, Yang Yi suddenly said, “That Ivan…”
Yang Yi looked at Bonnie, uncertain whether he should discuss these matters in front of her, but after a mont’s contemplation, he decided to speak in a low voice anyway, “That Ivan, he seems to be more complicated than he appears.”
Bonnie showed no particular reaction.
To Yang Yi, Bonnie was a close outsider, so there were so things he instinctively wanted to avoid discussing in front of her.
However, at this point, Bonnie had established a relatively close relationship with him and the Organization of Water.
Continued secrecy would undoubtedly hurt feelings.
Therefore, Yang Yi decided to voice so of his thoughts and suspicions.
Anton, in a grave tone, asked, “Ivan, what’s the issue with him?”
Yang Yi indifferently replied, “We’ve discussed this before.
As the only blood relative of Big Ivan and his sole successor, why would Big Ivan station Ivan in South Arica?”
“Why indeed?”
Yang Yi let out a breath and said, “I’m now thinking that Ivan may not just be a re arms dealer.
Have you noticed the close relationship between Ivan and assassins?”
Anton thought for a mont and asked, “Is there?
Where does it prove that Ivan has a close relationship with assassins?”
Yang Yi nodded, “There is proof.
When Big Ivan was captured by the CIA in South Africa, Ivan used two assassins to rescue his uncle.
These two assassins were remnants of Shadow, among the best in the world.”
“Where did you get this information?”
“From the CIA.
They investigated for a long ti but couldn’t confirm the identities of the two assassins.
However, it is certain that Ivan hired two assassins.
If you also connect it with Cupid, it becos quite interesting, doesn’t it?
Why would an arms dealer have such close ties with the top assassins?”
Yang Yi looked at Anton and said, “Judging by Ivan’s actions against the Cicero Family in Italy, does he seem like a person who likes using assassins?”
“Not at all.
He’s direct, bloody, brutal, and likes to eliminate his enemies and their families using the most straightforward and thorough thods.
Such a person is unlikely to use assassins to deal with his greatest enemy or, to be precise, his adversary.
He’s more likely to lead people into Nicholas’s ho, capture all of Nicholas’s family mbers, and kill them one by one in front of Nicholas.
That would fit his style.”
Yang Yi smiled and said, “But what if Ivan has an Assassin Group at his disposal?
What if the assassins are his most important or most trusted force?”
“In that case, Ivan might use assassins rather than doing it himself to eliminate Nicholas.”
“So, is Ivan’s current behavior a facade?
Can we consider that?”
Anton thought for a long ti before shaking his head, “You should discuss this issue with Anna.”
Yang Yi took a deep breath and said, “If we connect all these inconsistencies and then boldly draw a conclusion, although it seems unbelievable, it is still quite reasonable to assu that Ivan is not just an arms dealer but also runs an Assassin Organization.
Only this can explain why he is in South Arica and not in Europe or Asia, why he can always find the best assassins so easily, and most importantly, why he would use assassins to deal with Nicholas.”
Anton nodded, “That makes sense.”
Yang Yi looked at Bonnie and asked, “Is that so?”
Bonnie shook her head and replied, “I don’t know, how could I know about Big Ivan and Ivan’s affairs?
Their business has nothing to do with , so you shouldn’t ask .
I just think your suspicions make so sense, that’s all.”
Yang Yi laughed and continued, “Since Shadow was wiped out overnight, there hasn’t been another assassin organization with as much influence in the world.
But now, a new Assassins’ Council has erged, serving as a platform for assassin communications.
This organization is called Breeze.
Although it’s not as powerful as Shadow once was, it has indeed beco quite influential.”
Nobody spoke; Yang Yi went on, “We deal in intelligence, and those in our trade need to be vigilant for any potentially useful information.
Who would have thought—the leader of Breeze is an arms dealer, and moreover, Big Ivan’s nephew.
This discovery is indeed very interesting.”
Xiao Ran said, “Are you that certain?”
Yang Yi smiled and replied, “Not entirely certain, but I have so confidence.
Trust , other than an influential underground assassin organization, there’s no other reason for Ivan to stay in South Arica.
Based on that alone, I can pretty much conclude that he is the founder of Breeze.”
After finishing his point, Yang Yi shrugged, “Of course, it’s none of our business.
But since we’re in the intelligence business, this news is related to us.
The behind-the-scenes boss of Breeze—that’s explosive information, isn’t it?”
Anton whispered, “It’s better to pretend we don’t know.
Otherwise, dealing with assassins would beco a constant headache.”
Yang Yi smiled and said, “Of course, we’ll pretend we don’t know.
How could we casually share such information?
It could get soone killed.
I’m just confirming one thing—that we absolutely need to maintain a good relationship with Ivan and not offend him lightly.
Beyond that, I have no other thoughts.”
