and it appeared to strengthen his confidence in Grand Ivan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking eagerly, Polovich lit himself another cigarette and said with emotion, “You have no idea how powerful Grand Ivan really is.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one but he himself knows the extent of the strength he’s hiding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The CIA must have planned for who knows how long, daring to set a trap and capture him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They actually succeeded because Grand Ivan made a mistake.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following a bitter smile, Polovich shook his head, “No one thought it would be possible to rescue Grand Ivan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if they spared no expense in the attempt, at best they might only recover a corpse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s what I thought, and of course the Americans didn’t believe anyone could actually rescue Grand Ivan alive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Honestly, I’m extremely curious to this day, how did you manage to do it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Yang shrugged and said, “Actually, it was just good luck.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Polovich laughed and remarked, “I guessed that Grand Ivan might have had hidden strengths, otherwise, how could he possibly have been rescued alive?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But I understand, you don’t have to be too explicit.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Polovich was truly mistaken this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grand Ivan might still have hidden strengths, but at that time, he couldn’t use them because he was unconscious due to a heart condition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, the credit for rescuing Grand Ivan really goes to Gao Yang and Medusa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no need to be too detailed, Gao Yang just responded with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Polovich sighed again, “I’ve worked for Grand Ivan for many years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He spared my life and even gave me a way out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m grateful to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I might not have the face to work for Grand Ivan anymore, but I don’t want to retire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I need a bigger stage, and since I’ve always had good relations with Uriyangko and he’ll be taking over the Asia District in the future, I think perhaps I can work for him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, Polovich looked at Gao Yang with a hopeful expression, “I know you have a good relationship with Uri and also not an ordinary one with Grand Ivan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’d like to ask you to speak to Uriyangko for me, as long as Grand Ivan doesn’t object, Uriyangko should be happy to let me help him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But I need you to help me talk to him for that; I don’t have the face to face him myself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Can you do me this favor?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Yang felt somewhat troubled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t know if it was appropriate to speak on behalf of Polovich.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, with his connections with Uriyangko and Grand Ivan, if he spoke up, it’s possible they might actually give Polovich a chance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the problem was, Gao Yang didn’t want to misuse his relationships with Uriyangko and Grand Ivan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After pondering for a moment, Gao Yang said solemnly, “I can mention this for you, but I have to make it clear, I’ll only pass on your thoughts to Uriyangko, nothing more than that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I won’t express any opinion, nor will I plead on your behalf.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You must understand, what you did indeed was a taboo, so whether Uriyangko and Grand Ivan agree or not, it’s none of my business.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Polovich nodded, smiling, “That’s enough, thank you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Yang shrugged, “Don’t thank me yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let’s wait until I have a chance to see Uriyangko.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Polovich smiled and continued, “Actually, before I met you, I hadn’t had this thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as soon as I walked out of the house to meet you, the idea just came and couldn’t be suppressed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To put it frankly, I want to return to Grand Ivan’s camp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if I work for Uriyangko, it requires quite a thick skin.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a self-deprecating laugh, Polovich said with emotion, “One wrong step, and it’s difficult to turn back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ve lost my dignity; all I hope is that I still have a chance to make amends.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Yang couldn’t help asking, “Why don’t you consider going solo?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Polovich laughed, “Buddy, I have the channels, and I can find the supply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Technically speaking, it would be no difficulty at all for me to go solo, but the problem is…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Polovich made a helpless gesture and whispered, “If I go solo, then I’m an arms dealer, and if I’m an arms dealer, then I’m Grand Ivan’s competitor, haha.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Out of respect for our past, Grand Ivan hasn’t taken my life, but if I dare to become his competitor, believe me, I would die a very ugly death.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Yang’s understanding of Grand Ivan was refreshed once again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had known Grand Ivan for some time now, yet he never knew how formidable he truly was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every time he thought he knew the extent of Grand Ivan’s resources, Grand Ivan would immediately show him what unfathomable truly meant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Polovich could also be considered a major force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just think, being the boss of the underground arms market in the largest arms market, Asia, even though he worked for Grand Ivan, he must be no ordinary character.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And such a character didn’t even dare to entertain the thought of striking out on his own, which at least showed the strong control Grand Ivan had over his subordinates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Polovich, having made a significant decision, seemed to start relaxing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He smiled at Gao Yang again, “Regardless of whether it works out or not, I’m very grateful you’re willing to speak for me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I don’t have much to thank you with, the least I’m short of here is arms, so don’t be shy, just say what you want.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While it was really just speaking a word for Polovich, aside from Gao Yang, truly no one else could speak for Polovich with Uriyangko and Grand Ivan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the weight of Gao Yang’s words was not light, so Gao Yang really didn’t need to be polite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By speaking for Polovich and only taking a mere few guns and some bullets, Polovich was getting a great deal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as Polovich understood that, he couldn’t possibly just offer that much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Yang laughed, “Then I won’t be polite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But we don’t need too much, just those guns and bullets from earlier will do.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Polovich nodded and said, “I’ll tell you which ones are the best later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You can choose for yourself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You’re here for business this time, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What kind?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Can you say?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Yang laughed and said, “We need to deliver some stuff and will have to drive quite a distance.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As an arms dealer for so many years, Polovich wasn’t someone who didn’t understand the situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing Gao Yang’s words, Polovich immediately said, “It’s different in Iraq than other places.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don’t ever drive a new car, and definitely don’t drive Humvees or the like, that’s just seeking death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even armored vehicles won’t do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All that talk about bulletproof and bombproof is bullshit, you might as well get blown up in a tank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you want safety, you must drive beaten-up old cars that don’t look different from what the locals drive.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After finishing, Polovich gestured towards the door with his hand and laughed, “There are a few car dealers here who specialize in trading Humvees.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don’t buy them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you like, I’ll give you two when you leave, but don’t ever drive them in Iraq.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is it your job to prepare the vehicles yourselves, or will someone get them ready for you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Yang felt a surge of joy and said in a deep voice, “We need to prepare them ourselves.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Polovich nodded and said, “Alright, I’ll get them ready for you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They’ll look pretty worn on the outside, but the engines inside are all brand new.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I just happen to have a few like that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How many do you need?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Yang thought for a moment and said, “Four vehicles, three people per vehicle.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Polovich smiled, pointed at Glolov and Tommy, and said, “With these two here, haven’t you considered getting a pickup with a heavy machine gun and a mortar?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Yang scratched his head and said, “Of course it would be great to have, but we must move inconspicuously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having heavy machine guns and mortars on the vehicle would be too conspicuous.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Polovich chuckled and said, “You don’t have to worry about that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ll get it ready for you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One off-road vehicle, an old model Land Cruiser, my own ride, which has been bulletproofed, but you can’t tell from the outside, plus two sedans and two pickups.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ll modify them to look like ordinary trucks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Load them with more ammo and shells.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You know, to us these things aren’t worth much, if you don’t use them, just throw them away.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Yang laughed heartily and said, “Then I have to thank you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Polovich waved his hand and said, “I should be thanking you, no need to say anything else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ll cover all your expenses in the Green Zone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When it’s time to pay, just say put it on the old Russian’s tab.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don’t try to save me money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However you spend it, I’ll earn it back from them.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Yang laughed and said, “Then I won’t be polite.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The less polite Gao Yang was, the happier Polovich became.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stood up, glanced at his watch, and said, “It’s almost four o’clock, are you hungry?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let’s go for a meal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The local cuisine here and the Turkish food are quite good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let’s go.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Polovich spoke, he stood up, walked behind the desk, drew open a drawer, took out a walkie-talkie, and shouted into it, “Sherikov, bring up all of my vodka, all of it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Yang quickly said, “No, no, let’s not drink.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We don’t know when we might receive a notification to leave, can’t drink and risk messing things up.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Polovich shrugged and said, “Alright, business is more important.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let’s skip the alcohol.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I owe you guys a drink.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Come on, first pick the guns you want, after official matters are sorted, we’ll go eat.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Yang and the others weren’t shy, laughing and joking as they opened the gun cases.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The quality of the guns was quite good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since they couldn’t test-fire them, they couldn’t pick out the ones with the best accuracy, but there wasn’t really a need to do so.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, Gao Yang and his team just picked the guns they liked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whatever looked good to the eye was the one they took.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The newly unboxed guns were coated with a good amount of protective oil on the barrel and body, which had to be wiped off before they could be used.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Gao Yang and his team were indeed hungry; having a meal before cleaning the guns wouldn’t be a problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After selecting the guns, Gao Yang faced Polovich and said, “Do we need to take our own equipment with us to eat?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ve heard that not everyone here is a gentleman, and it’s very easy to lose things.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Polovich swept his hand and said, “Where are you staying?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Other than your personal items, leave the rest in your room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don’t worry, I will have someone watch your door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just standing there for a while will let people know who’s place it is, and then absolutely no one would dare steal your things.” (To be continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian (qidian.com) to vote and give your monthly
