Morgan has gotten a little thinner, but his mental state looks pretty good.

After gently hugging Morgan, Gao Yang said in a low voice, "How’s your health?"

Morgan nodded and said softly, "Not bad. Lymphoma isn’t the type of cancer that breaks down your body quickly. I have the energy and enough time to handle some things."

Whenever you see Morgan again, Simon is always there too. After hugging Morgan, Gao Yang, who has a good relationship with Simon, having gone through life and death together, doesn’t have to worry about status or occasion. After a hearty hug with Simon, Gao Yang punched Simon’s chest and laughed, "Long time no see, Ass Face, how have you been lately?"

Simon’s mouth twitched a few times, and he said in a low voice, "You bastard, didn’t you suffer enough in Italy?"

After Morgan signaled Gao Yang to sit down, he personally poured two glasses of whiskey. Placing one in front of Gao Yang, he said with a serious face, looking somewhat angry, "You almost died in Italy."

Gao Yang picked up the glass and said in a low voice, "That was just an accident."

Morgan glared at Gao Yang authoritatively, "Accident? You think it was just an accident? If you continue living this lifestyle, such things will definitely not be accidents."

After taking a sip of his drink, Morgan set down the glass, slightly irritably saying, "Gao, you can’t go on like this. You have money now, you have status, you’re already a significant figure in the underworld. So continuing in the mercenary profession is truly foolish. If you’re not a madman looking only for slaughter, you should quit this line of work. Tell me, what’s your reason for continuing to be a mercenary?"

Gao Yang took a sip of whiskey and shrugged, "Actually, mercenaries now are just a term, right? We don’t get paid to fight wars for others; we’re doing our own thing."

Morgan sighed and said, "You’re not the same person you were before, so you can’t keep taking risks personally."

Gao Yang looked at Morgan with a bitter smile, "I want to, really, but I have no one to rely on. We ultimately come from too low a background. Honestly, the people I trust most can only fight, and we’re learning on the go in the transformation process, so I have to take risks."

Morgan pondered for a moment and said, "That’s a problem. So how is your Yemen plan going? Does Satan still need to show up personally?"

Gao Yang said, "The Yemen plan is going relatively well, but Satan definitely still needs to show up personally. To be honest, we’re not at the stage yet where we can retreat into the background and let others take care of everything. Many things need to be in our own hands."

"That’s right. If you want to achieve great things, at the very least, you can’t be lazy, nor can you shy away from danger. Although I think you don’t need to implement the Yemen plan, since you are determined to establish a large private military company, you have to do it yourself."

Gao Yang laughed, "Just a small correction, it’s us."

Morgan exhaled and said, "I find it hard to change your mind, so I won’t persuade you to give up your ideals. But at least you should be more mindful of your safety. First, arrange for a few bodyguards for yourself. If Simon had been with you in Italy, he wouldn’t have let you fall into such a trap."

Gao Yang was quite dismissive of Morgan’s words. He felt that Number Thirteen and Yake’s abilities were no less than Simon’s, but out of politeness, Gao Yang decided not to contradict Morgan.

Seeing Gao Yang’s slightly dismissive expression, Morgan raised an eyebrow and said, "You don’t believe me? Simon, tell him what you would do."

Simon immediately said, "I would personally select the meeting location and ensure the opponent couldn’t set up an ambush. That’s the basics, and during the meeting, I must ensure that the other party has no ability to harm you..."

Gao Yang couldn’t help but say, "No, you don’t know the situation at the time. I had to meet Mario as soon as possible..."

Morgan waved his hand, saying, "Enough, you fundamentally don’t understand the importance of a bodyguard. Tell me, who went with you at the time?"

"Number Thirteen, Yake, and Rafael."

"What do they do? I mean, what are they good at?"

Gao Yang scratched his head and said, "Number Thirteen is an assassin, Yake is an intelligence officer, and Rafael, uh, he’s a blasting expert."

Morgan waved his hand, "Simon, tell him where the problem lies."

Simon said calmly, "The primary duty of a bodyguard isn’t to fight or kill, it’s to ensure the protected person’s safety. The people you mentioned are offensive, whereas bodyguards are defensive."

Morgan pointed at Gao Yang and said, "Understand? Your people are highly capable, but their focus isn’t on protecting you. They will overlook many issues, but a professional bodyguard is different. A bodyguard must focus solely on security matters."

Simon added, "If I feel it’s too dangerous to go to someone’s house for negotiations, then I must stop you. Number Thirteen is best at killing. He might know how to counter from an assassin’s perspective, but what if the person wanting to harm you isn’t an assassin? Or what if the person is someone other than your negotiation counterpart? You need to understand: knowing how to kill doesn’t mean knowing how to protect. A good intelligence officer focuses on helping you achieve your goals, but he won’t be focusing on how to protect you. Protecting your safety is not his job."

After considering the events, Gao Yang had to admit that Morgan and Simon were right.

Gao Yang immediately raised his hand and said loudly, "Understood, that’s the situation. You’re right."

Simon smiled and said, "If you have a bodyguard, another advantage is that your bodyguard can propose various security requirements to someone like Mario from a professional standpoint. If you make those requests personally, it would be very impolite. Your gunmanship is excellent, but is it appropriate to meet a VIP with a gun? But it’s different if you have a bodyguard. When a bodyguard makes security requests, it’s no issue, as that’s the bodyguard’s duty. As long as the ones you’re interacting with also have bodyguards and are on equal footing, they must understand this point. Otherwise, it means they have ulterior motives."

Gao Yang smiled bitterly and said, "I should hire a professional bodyguard, but as a mercenary, it feels a bit strange to think about it."

Morgan said calmly, "Everyone has two sides. When you yourself are a super assassin leading a team, you naturally don’t need a bodyguard. But when you present yourself as a successful person in high society, you naturally need a bodyguard."

Gao Yang laughed, "Okay, after all this talk, I guess you definitely have someone suitable to recommend."

Morgan pointed at Simon, and Simon nodded, "Yes, I have someone suitable to recommend."
