740: Chapter 746: Change Happens Close at Hand 740: Chapter 746: Change Happens Close at Hand Yang Yi felt that his explanation was quite reliable.
Brian never said what he was looking for, so as an insider, Yang Yi naturally knew that Brian was looking for an old lover’s whereabouts, but to Francois, it was just as plausible that he was seeking Big Ivan’s whereabouts.
Francois was indeed taken aback, although he found the situation very abnormal, he still quieted down, just frowning and watching Brian, waiting for what Brian would say next.
Brian burst out laughing.
“Do you think I can trust you?
You’re all sons of bitches, not a single word from your mouths can be believed, don’t forget I’ve seen what cos of KGB promises.”
After waiting for Brian to finish speaking through gritted teeth, the old man replied with a sardonic smile, “So, CIA promises are reliable then?”
Of course, CIA promises are also unreliable, but the problem is that regardless, Brian now did not believe Black Devil’s words, so the old man had no chance of getting out of this safely.
Brian said viciously, “Cut the crap, we can’t trust each other, but you have no choice.”
The old man moved the detonator in his hand again, still smiling confidently and said, “You know our style, just as I know yours, so what’s the point of talking about this?
Do you know what this is?
You must know.
This device controls two tons of C4.
I press the button, and this place becos a crater, we all turn to dust, and those you bring will be shattered like fabric dolls.
So how do I have no choice?
I take my secrets with , you live with your regrets, and we all go down together.
If you don’t believe , I’ll start piling up C4 right here for you to see, how about that?”
Yang Yi’s heart skipped a beat, because by now, he truly believed Black Devil was capable of doing exactly what he claid, but Brian was extrely dismissive, “Give it up, at this point, who can bluff whom?”
The old man laughed loudly, “Then you’re still trying to bluff ?
Be realistic, you’re the one with no choice, we both know it.”
The old man was right; Brian was the one without a choice.
His obsession with Kate made it impossible for him to really move against the old man in front of him, even if he did not believe he was the last insider, he didn’t dare take the risk.
Yang Yi couldn’t help but whisper to Anton beside him, “Who is he?
Is what he says true?”
Anton shook his head, indicating he didn’t know.
Brian pondered for a mont, then announced loudly, “Fine!
I’ll let your people go, but you stay.
We’ll find a place, and you tell the answers.”
Just then, Francois next to Yang Yi suddenly shouted, “No!
What are you doing?
Are you joking?”
Francois was extrely angry.
Yang Yi knew Francois was angry, and he also knew that Francois had always been a bit wary of them.
Of course, Francois could never suspect that he was also a target to be eliminated.
If they were to cooperate with Big Ivan’s n to wipe out the Fearless rcenary Corps, Yang Yi and his group would certainly not employ such a crude thod as laying mines first.
That’s what Francois thought, and of course, for soone unaware of the full complexity of the situation, there was nothing wrong with Francois’s reasoning.
But the problem was the Fearless rcenary Corps was already an enemy of the Organization of Water, and they needed to be eliminated to prevent future troubles.
It was just that Yang Yi didn’t expect Francois to try to stop Brian at this point.
So, had the ti co to be stabbed in the back earlier than expected?
Yang Yi harbored doubts, as he felt it wasn’t a good ti, and he hadn’t yet given Paul and the others a signal.
But suddenly, Brian turned around and roared, “Shut up!
My business is the most important!”
Was this Brian’s true thoughts, or was he trying to confuse the Black Devil and Francois at the sa ti?
Yang Yi imdiately determined that Brian hadn’t lost his mind, nor had he beco blinded by hope.
When Brian turned around, he gave a signal that ant to be on high alert and ready to make a move.
Yang Yi pushed his gun forward a bit and whispered to Francois, “Don’t act rashly, this is strategy.”
Yang Yi thought this excuse could continue to fool Francois, but Francois was not the type to be manipulated by others.
Brian and the old man exchanged a few more words, but the distance was sowhat far and their voices were quiet, so Yang Yi couldn’t hear them clearly.
Francois glanced at Yang Yi.
He seed to believe Yang Yi’s words, then, astonished, yelled loudly, “Damn it, how could you do this?
Everyone, attack!”
Francois played a trick; first, he shouted at Yang Yi with a very annoyed tone as if he were dissatisfied, but not going to do more.
Then, after shouting twice, he suddenly aid his gun at Yang Yi.
Francois had given the order, and he had also made his move.
Francois chose a very wrong mont to act.
Francois chose a very right mont to act.
If Francois had been a less experienced man, he might not have detected anything amiss, and even if he did, he wouldn’t have chosen to act imdiately but would have tried to leave and regroup with his people before taking action.
However, he didn’t do that, which is why he chose a very wrong ti to act.
But Francois was a man both experienced and decisive.
Sensing sothing was off, even if he didn’t think it was a conspiracy against him, people familiar with the underworld know that one can’t truly remain indifferent to matters not related to themselves.
If he found himself caught in a conspiracy, there would be no hope of leaving alive.
He wasn’t naive enough to believe he could get away, so he opted for a preemptive strike as a survival tactic.
Thus, Francois indeed chose a very right mont to act.
He had indeed succeeded in confusing Yang Yi, but, unfortunately for him, Yang Yi was always ready to move against him.
As Francois shouted, Yang Yi had also made his move.
Lying prone while Francois was standing, Yang Yi managed to kick out before Francois could point his gun at him.
The legendary Hell’s Leg, that must be what it ant.
Yang Yi’s kick struck Francois’s supporting leg, and Anton didn’t stand up but lunged forward like a leaping fish, grabbing Francois’s gun.
The only mistake Francois made was that he was holding a rifle, and the action of presenting a rifle is too slow when facing an imminent threat at close range.
Anton grabbed Francois’s gun and then tackled and pinned him down, his right hand directly reaching into the trigger guard, firmly preventing Francois from pulling the trigger.
In this close-quarters ground combat, Francois was no match for Anton.
He was a rcenary, and that was all he was.
Anton had Francois under control, and finally, Yang Yi pulled out his knife.
Before Francois could shout anything more, Yang Yi’s blade stabbed straight into Francois’s chin, severing his windpipe, with the blade’s edge reaching his spine, instantly depriving Francois of the ability to make a sound.
