Super Soldier in the City-Chapter 1902 - 1967: I Want Weapons and Vehicles
"Damn, anyone who dares to mess with you must be tired of living. No, they must be incredibly stupid. Golden Eagle, tell me who it is, and I’ll get someone to kill him for you!" Aragon shook his head and said.
Li Yifei knew Aragon was serious. If it were a particular person, given his status, Aragon could definitely send people to take them out, even at the cost of some manpower. Their introduction hadn’t been very pleasant; Li Yifei’s Flying Hawk Squad needed some weapons and contacted Aragon. Aragon refused to supply weapons because the Flying Hawk Squad consisted of Huaxia people. At that critical moment, Li Yifei raided Aragon’s residence that very night, took out more than ten people, and directly put a knife to Aragon’s throat, asking if he would sell weapons. If not, Li Yifei didn’t say what he would do to Aragon, but promised to walk away with every weapon he needed. On the off chance he decided to sell the weapons to Li Yifei, he might earn the friendship of Golden Eagle.
Aragon decided to sell the weapons. With a knife to his throat, how could he refuse? Meanwhile, he was shocked by Li Yifei’s ability; he discovered Li Yifei had only four people but managed to break into his home and kill so many. The rest were all unconscious and incapacitated. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎
This level of skill, Aragon believed he had never seen before. Even the most secretive units of the U.S. military couldn’t pull that off. His people were also battle-hardened with great combat ability.
This was their first encounter. The second time, Li Yifei saved him. Aragon often walked by the river, finally got his shoes wet. During an arms deal, he only brought a little over twenty people including those transporting the weapons, only to be double-crossed and ambushed. Not only did they not get the money, but the adversary also wanted to wipe out Aragon and his men. Soon, Aragon’s side was nearly annihilated when Li Yifei’s Flying Hawk Squad appeared and swiftly eradicated those people.
By international custom, Li Yifei took those weapons with him, and Aragon couldn’t really say anything since Li Yifei had saved his life. Compared to one’s life, weapon money was trivial.
After these two interactions, Aragon knew Golden Eagle was a principled person; as long as you don’t provoke him, dealings would be quite smooth, so Aragon did several business deals with Li Yifei thereafter, finding them all pleasant.
"It’s an organization, so you need to prepare some weapons and vehicles for me," Li Yifei said.
Aragon was a bit curious now. The Flying Hawk Squad hadn’t appeared in the Middle East for several years. Why would Golden Eagle suddenly return, and immediately want to take down an organization... this place had hundreds of organizations big and small. Some boasted tens of thousands of members, others barely dozens. They all claimed to be a certain something under some banner, so Aragon didn’t ask much further but said, "No problem, Mr. Golden Eagle, just give me the list. Leave the preparation of weapons to me!"
"Alright, I’ll send it to you shortly. We don’t need many weapons, but the vehicles must be ample!" Li Yifei said.
Aragon nodded promptly, saying, "No problem, I’ll wait for your message. By the way, when do you need them?"
Generally, arms deals yearn for a one to two-year lead time or even longer, particularly for special weapons. Though conventional ones won’t take that long, they still require some turnover, hence Aragon’s inquiry.
Li Yifei said, "This time, at the Pakistan and Afghanistan border, gather the equipment within two days."
"Ah? Within such a short time?" Aragon was startled.
"Yes, I’ll arrive in Kandahar Province in two days, so you need to transport weapons and cars there."
"Good heavens, it’s over a thousand kilometers from here to Kandahar Province. How can I transport everything there in two days, especially when I still need to gather the items?" Aragon grappled with his hair, speaking in a difficult manner.
"Listen, Aragon, I returned this time for revenge. You understand revenge, right? So you need to help me secure the weapons and vehicles I need," Li Yifei interrupted Aragon, speaking solemnly.
Hearing those words, Aragon was indeed taken aback. What type of person could it be to anger Golden Eagle to the point he talks of revenge? They must really have a death wish.
"Alright, I’ll wait for you in Kandahar Province, then immediately gather what you need overnight. I can’t guarantee how much I can get," Aragon responded.
"Fair, just do your best. This time consider it a favor I owe you," Li Yifei said.
Aragon wiped the sweat off his forehead, saying, "Favor... that’s not necessary. Aren’t we old friends? We should mutually assist each other."
Luckily, he knew Golden Eagle never lacked money and wouldn’t double-cross, so he felt comfortable about this deal. However, assembling weapons and vehicles of short notice wasn’t easy, especially within Pakistan’s borders.
On the border between the two, tens of thousands of terrorists were stationed annually, even controlling over forty percent of Afghanistan’s land. Transporting weapons across this line was absolutely challenging.
Five minutes later, Aragon received Li Yifei’s list; glancing at it, he couldn’t help but clap his forehead, saying, "This is indeed a massive challenge. Where can I source so many items in such a short time?"
That said, since Li Yifei mentioned revenge, Aragon realized the severity of the matter. Though he didn’t know whom Li Yifei was targeting in revenge, the adversary was indeed doomed for provoking Li Yifei.
Getting down to business immediately, Aragon dared not delay and swiftly procured items per Li Yifei’s list.
Meanwhile, Li Yifei had already boarded the ship arranged by Sashar with his people, crossing the sea by night and landing at a place called Giovanni. During the journey, Li Yifei received a call from Xu Shanshan. Having awakened in the middle of the night to find no one beside her, Xu Shanshan’s first thought was that Li Yifei went to He Fangqing’s, but then she realized he might have left. She quickly ran to He Fangqing’s bedroom and indeed found Li Yifei gone.
The two women sat on the bed in the middle of the night, one slightly worried, the other puffing her cheeks, pretending to be angry. Of course, she wasn’t really angry, but felt uncomfortable that Li Yifei didn’t take her along or trust her abilities.
"What’s wrong with taking me? I won’t be a burden, unlike Sarama who’s an ordinary person..." was Xu Shanshan’s earlier complaint to He Fangqing, but when the phone connected and she heard Li Yifei’s voice, Xu Shanshan said, "Brother-in-law, you must be careful. That place is too chaotic, crawling with terrorists. No matter what happens to others, you have to return alive."
Li Yifei smiled and said, "Don’t worry, I will be back soon. You and Fangqing stay well in Dubai, and take good care of Su Lio."
Li Yifei had just suppressed Su Lio’s coldness the day before, so theoretically it could hold for six to seven days. Of course, that was idealized, and Li Yifei couldn’t waste time, otherwise Su Lio might be in trouble.
Xu Shanshan pouted slightly and said, "Mm, I will. Then... let’s not talk for now. Let me know once you reach your destination."
"Alright, that’s it for now, muah muah." The last three words from Li Yifei made Xu Shanshan smile silently before hanging up. After speaking a bit with He Fangqing, she returned to her room to sleep, though sleep eluded her.
All the women at home were the same. Since they picked such a husband, they accepted whatever came with that choice. Since marrying Li Yifei, it meant there were many worrying moments. Xu Shanshan hadn’t felt it too much before, but lately, whenever Li Yifei went out on business, Xu Shanshan mirrored other women, feeling worried but trying not to let her imagination run wild.
Perhaps this was maturity, Xu Shanshan reflected.
In the morning, Sarama learned that Li Yifei had already departed. She could but sigh; as for Su Lio, seeing the somber mood among the women, softly asked, "Why must he eliminate those people?"
The three women glanced at her before He Fangqing explained, "The Li family faced similar situations before and resolved them similarly. This is the only way to deter more enemies from targeting the Li family."
"Oh, alright," Su Lio nodded. As for assessing Li Yifei, aside from being outrageously lustful, there weren’t many faults. As for arrogance... Su Lio hadn’t felt it yet.
Giovanni was a coastal city, though due to Pakistan’s overall backwardness, it wasn’t very bustling. Li Yifei and his men smuggled their way there, not landing at Giovanni port but swimming ashore from a coastal shallows. After giving a gesture, the few boats turned back. They had brought a thirty-man elite squad, composed of various ethnicities, a few of whom knew Li Yifei well—not only from recent fights but from the time Li Yifei confronted dozens on his own. These men, aware of Li Yifei’s identity, revered him and naturally adhered to orders with utmost discipline.
Of course, the rest dared not act rashly. All thirty-one followed commands strictly. After landing, they didn’t pause; Li Yifei was leading them to a place called Yassa to rendezvous with Ayurhan’s men. Ayurhan hadn’t brought many either, just a fifty-man team, though experienced in numerous battles with commendable combat proficiency, albeit armed with simpler weapons. Most of the weaponry Li Yifei procured from Aragon was meant for these men.
Spending half a day, Li Yifei led them to join Ayurhan and his group at Yassa. Ayurhan managed to secure some vehicles there, though insufficient for over eighty people, and incapable of reaching the mountainous area directly for the confrontation with Muhan’s Revenge Organization.
