Mercenary's War

Disguise isn’t ********. If putting on a disguise allowed you to go anywhere you wanted, then that’s pure nonsense.

A person’s face is naturally the most identifiable feature, but besides the face, there’s so much more that can mark a person, like body posture, eyes, fingerprints, and so on, there’s just so much.

However, disguise works for Gao Yang; as long as he doesn’t attract special attention, and no one stops him for an iris scan or fingerprint check, he can easily get by. Why is that? Because Gao Yang trained for a long time under the FBI agents under Murphy, forcing himself to change his posture and body characteristics. Pair that with advanced makeup techniques, and he can avoid most standard identification methods.

Of course, if he attracts any attention, then no amount of disguise or hiding will work. As long as someone catches him and runs a test, everything would be revealed. But just not attracting attention is enough, completely sufficient.

Vasily was applying makeup to Gao Yang. It’s still disguise, but Black Demon’s makeup techniques are simpler than that of Number Thirteen’s. Raise the eyebrows, glue the corners of the mouth downward, create some wrinkles on the face, and then put on a black-and-white wig, Gao Yang becomes an old man.

If Number Thirteen were doing the makeup for Gao Yang, he could completely change Gao Yang’s race; whether black or white, it wouldn’t be an issue. But that would require a lot of time, whereas Vasily’s makeup took no more than half an hour.

After putting on the wig, Gao Yang looked at his face in the mirror and nodded, saying, "Is it okay now?"

Vasily looked at Gao Yang for a moment carefully and nodded, saying, "Now try walking, if there’s no problem, we’ll add some age spots to your neck and hands."

Gao Yang stood up, bent his back slightly, walked a few steps back and forth. Vasily shook his head, saying, "It’s a bit too much, this is how an over-eighty-year-old walks. Speed up slightly and straighten your back a bit."

After several rounds of adjustments, Vasily finally nodded, saying, "Okay, don’t forget your identity."

Ivan on the side quickly asked, "Is the makeup fixed? Once it’s set, hurry and take a photo."

Gao Yang stood up, and Vasily shouted, "Clothes! Don’t forget to change clothes."

Someone beside Ivan said, "The passport date is November, the current clothes are evidently too thin, find a thick coat."

Yarebin said slowly, "Wear my coat, and fix the hair."

Gao Yang put on Yarebin’s coat, took a sitting photo, and soon, a passport was made. Vasily took the passport, had a look, and nodded, saying, "No problem."

Gao Yang took off the coat and returned it to Yarebin, took a glance at his passport, muttered his fake name a few times, and then said, "All set, let’s go."

Yarebin looked at his watch, saying, "Forty minutes, Vasily, you’re slow, time to head out."

Gao Yang pulled out his handgun and handed it to Cui Bo beside him, shouting, "Keep it safe, don’t play around."

As the group was about to split up, Gao Yang’s phone suddenly rang, he immediately answered, saying, "It’s me."

Grand Ivan hurriedly said, "Someone passed me new information again, verbatim: Frank helps Claudio take over as the family head, by any means necessary, at six PM, gather Cicero Family members at Mario’s house for a meeting, internal cleansing will take place, Mario is dead, this information has been informed to Lorenzo, please pass it to Justin, Cesare."

After hearing Grand Ivan finish, Gao Yang immediately asked, "Who made the call, was it Cesare himself?"

"No, didn’t say anything else, just hung up after speaking."

Gao Yang felt overwhelmed, and he said solemnly, "Turns out it’s not just us who know, things are complicated, troublesome, what to do?"

Grand Ivan said very seriously, "Absolutely can’t let Claudio or Lorenzo rise to power. That way, the war can only continue, very disadvantageous to us. At all costs, we must help Justin take over. Everything you need, I will do my utmost to help you." 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

Grand Ivan undoubtedly said a bunch of empty words, but being trapped in South Africa unable to leave, this is all he could do.

Hanging up the phone, Gao Yang looked at everyone and said, "Lorenzo also received the news, moreover, today at six PM, important Cicero Family members will meet at Mario’s house. At that time, if anyone refuses to comply, that Frank will purge him."

After speaking, Gao Yang exhaled and said, "Who is Frank? Also, if Lorenzo wants to compete with you, what methods does he have?"

Justin took several deep breaths and said solemnly, "Frank, he’s Mario’s personal bodyguard. I only know he’s followed Mario for many years, but I wasn’t aware of Frank having such an important position. As for Lorenzo..."

After furrowing his brow and thinking for a long time, Justin shook his head, saying, "I don’t know what he can do, I don’t even know how powerful he is. Right from the start, Lorenzo seemed to have no intention to compete for the position of family head. He’s always been silent, doesn’t oppose me, nor Mario, he’s just an observer."

Gao Yang immediately looked at Ivan, saying, "Why didn’t you have a chance to take down Lorenzo?"

Ivan shrugged, saying, "Hid too well, couldn’t find him at all."

Gao Yang thought for a moment and said, "Now let’s break the issues into parts. First, if that Frank initiates a major cleaning of important Cicero Family members, forget about whether he’ll gain full control, the key is once important people in pivotal positions have been taken out, the Cicero Family’s strength will surely be severely affected, meaning even if we succeed, Justin is inheriting a crippled intelligence network. So regardless, we must stop Frank first before planning anything else. Since that’s the case..."

Gao Yang resolved himself and said to Justin, "Can you get in touch with those people? If you can, you must come forward, tell them not to attend the meeting. While stopping Frank, you also gain some support. After all, you’re the rightful heir, perhaps among them many are supporters left by your father."

Justin thought for a moment and said, "I can, it’s our only option."

Gao Yang clenched his fist and said, "As for other matters, whether Lorenzo or Claudio, we can only do one thing; anyone who competes with you, eliminate them, there’s no other way. Whether it’s appropriate, you know better, right?"

Justin nodded and said, "I know how to win people over. Frank won’t succeed."
