Chapter 2316: Chapter 2292: The Cunning Rabbit Has Three Dens

The first stop for the plane was Seattle. When Gao Yang’s private jet landed at the airport, Lucica was already waiting there.

But Gao Yang didn’t plan to let Lucica board the plane.

The airport where the plane landed was a private one, which didn’t have anything like a terminal. To save time, those larger airports with more rules and complex procedures, although better equipped, were not suitable for the time-pressed Gao Yang.

Leaving Yelena on the plane, Gao Yang walked alone to the side of the runway, reached out to stop Lucica, who was carrying a bag and about to board the plane, and pulled her aside.

"You are not going to Yemen with me."

Lucica showed a "here we go again" expression, first let out a long sigh, then looked at Gao Yang and said, "Boss, I really don’t want to argue with you about this every time, does it have any meaning?"

Gao Yang waved his hand and said in a deep voice, "I have thought about it for a long time, you are not suited for the battlefield in the Middle East. You were born in the jungle, grew up in the jungle. You are the best jungle warfare expert in the world, but in the desert, you are just an ordinary person. Putting you in Yemen to go on the battlefield with us is a misuse of your skills. If you get injured or killed, it would be a loss that Satan cannot bear, because that means we would lose our jungle warfare capability."

Lucica sighed and said, "Boss, these reasons do not convince me, because you are simply making excuses. I am indeed not as at ease in the desert as in the jungle, but I am not lost in the desert, only I’m still a competent soldier."

Gao Yang said softly, "I’m not making excuses; I have a more important task for you."

Even though there was no one around, Gao Yang instinctively looked around before leaning down to whisper into Lucica’s ear, "This mission is so important that I couldn’t tell you over the phone, I had to see you in person."

Lucica’s expression also turned serious, whispering, "What mission?"

Gao Yang paused for a moment, then whispered, "I have a diamond mine in the jungles of Africa, you know that?"

Lucica said surprisingly, "Of course I know, a significant part of our funding often comes from your diamond mine’s profits, what’s up?"

Gao Yang said softly, "Now, we’ve detected some unusual signs, so after discussing with Morgan, we’ve decided to build a base near that diamond mine. Hmm, calling it a base isn’t quite right, but that’s essentially what it is."

Lucica looked puzzled and said, "I’m really confused, what’s going on?"

Gao Yang said with difficulty, "How should I explain this? The purpose of this base is for our fallback, do you understand? Originally, there were only some temporary shelters and wooden houses for people to live in, but now, Morgan and I have jointly decided to set up a secret base there, with a sufficiently large armory, able to accommodate enough people, and lots of supplies. And these, require someone absolutely reliable to be in charge."

Lucica frowned and said, "Why do this, can I know?"

Gao Yang once again lowered his voice, "Cleaner! We don’t know why, but Cleaner has revealed a lot of unusual information. Morgan and I suspect Cleaner might be preparing for some kind of warfare. We don’t know if the war is initiated by Cleaner, but a large-scale war might break out. It’s just a guess, but it’s not impossible."

Lucica hesitated a little and said, "I don’t quite understand, but it sounds formidable, quite intimidating. But, Boss, I don’t understand these things, is it appropriate for me to be responsible for them?"

Gao Yang shook his head seriously and said in a low voice, "No one is more suitable than you. You’re adapted to the jungle, you’re absolutely trustworthy, you know how to set up a camp in the jungle. With these qualities, who do you think can replace you?"

Lucica immediately said with determination, "That’s right, only I am suitable, so I’ll go, Boss!"

Gao Yang said in a low voice, "You will receive a large sum of money, and you can purchase whatever you think is necessary. If you don’t know how to operate, I’ll find someone to help you, but it must be you in charge, understand?"

"Understood!"

"There’s currently someone managing the diamond mine for me, and Morgan also has someone there. I’ve reached an agreement with Morgan, his people will fully cooperate with you, while my person..."

Gao Yang paused for a moment, took a deep breath, and said softly, "His name is Bantuna, nickname Radar. I’ve mentioned him to you before, but I’ve only fought alongside him once and found him very reliable, so I let him handle the diamond mine’s security issue. However, I’ve never been to the diamond mine and have never met Radar, so I actually lack a deep understanding of this person."

Lucica nodded, Gao Yang continued, "That place is very important to us, it must be under your absolute control. Once you get there, if Radar cooperates with you, there’s no problem. But if, during this period, Bantuna has developed ambitions he shouldn’t have, or if he sets any obstacles for you, then..."

Gao Yang made a slicing gesture with his hand and said in a low voice, "Eliminate him! Don’t hesitate, don’t ask me, don’t have any scruples. If you feel you can’t handle it alone, Morgan’s people will be your backup. If still not enough, inform me immediately, I’ll send someone to assist you or go over myself!"

Lucica whispered, "Got it, I think I should be able to handle it, as long as he hasn’t taken full control of the place, I can take him down!"

Who was Lucica? She grew up in the camps of drug lords, for whom slaughter was as natural as breathing. In terms of decisiveness, ruthlessness, and instinct for betrayal, no one in Satan was stronger than her.

Others in Satan, even if they gradually adapted to the life of killing, at least thought of killing as a sin, but for Lucica, killing was simply a part of life, not a moral issue at all, just a basic choice for survival.

Gao Yang nodded and said to Lucica, "This matter, besides you and me, must never be known to anyone else. Go home and pack up, then tell me what you need and how much money you need, and I’ll have someone prepare it for you."

Lucica said in a low voice, "I must see the place first to be certain. The size of the camp, whether to build it concentrated or scattered, how many people each sub-camp can hold, how much stuff it can store, all these need to be looked at on site."

Gao Yang nodded and said, "Okay, you have at most one more month, think more about this matter during this time, consider it thoroughly."

Lucica smiled slightly and said, "Boss, trust me, if you send me to the jungle to work, I will certainly not let you down."
