Ultimate Firepower

Chapter 51 Boarding the Ship
After agreeing to cooperate, the relationship became closer. Gao Yi no longer had to bother Sean to get him to join the team, and Sean no longer had to worry that Gao Yi would disappear as soon as he let go.

The atmosphere became much more relaxed.

Since they have agreed to cooperate, both parties need to have a deeper understanding of each other. Sean needs to reveal some details to Gao Yi appropriately, and Gao Yi of course also needs to let Sean know how capable he is.

The car started to drive, and Sean said with a relaxed look: "Why are you in a hurry to buy a gun and practice shooting? Do you think that as a killer, you will have any chance to use a gun?"

This is a test of the bottom, but also a persuasion.

Gao Yi said easily: "It's a knot in my heart. As a man, I must be interested in guns. Hmm, how is Luca now?"

Luca said that he was not from the garden, but he turned around and sold Gao Yi to the garden. Perhaps it cannot be said that he sold but rather recommended. After all, it was because of him that Gao Yi entered the garden's vision.

I don’t know whether cooperating with Huayuan is a blessing or a curse, but Gao Yi asked about Luca at this time, not because he wanted to retaliate, but simply because he was concerned about Luca’s recent situation.

"Luka is still the same. He made a fortune from you, enough for him to rest for a long time."

Sean's answer doesn't have any substance, so you need to be direct about what you're asking.

Gao Yi immediately asked, "Is he from the garden?"

"He is not."

Sean hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to tell the truth. He wanted to impress Gao Yi with his sincerity.

"To be honest, Luca is not qualified to join the Garden. His role is limited. He definitely doesn't have the ability to be a killer, and as an assistant... there are no killers available for him to serve, so he is just a former non-staff member who has a connection with the Garden, and a relatively close relationship."

Non-staff, or former.

Gao Yi smiled, nodded, and said, "So what's going on between you and Andek Group?"

"They were competitors, they attacked each other, and now they have become mortal enemies."

Sean didn't want to talk about Andek Group, so he quickly said, "You've already got your identity here, right? What's your name?"

"Gobbs."

Sean was stunned for a moment and said, "Gobbs? This name... is impressive."

There is no way, how can foreigners understand Chinese puns?

Gao Yi's nickname is Bu San, and his English name is Booth, so what is the sum of their names?
It's not about being neither good nor bad, but about being neither good nor dead.

What does the surname Gao plus the word "immortal" mean? It means immortal.

If it weren't for the auspicious homonym, Gao Yi would not have used the original owner's name, Booth.

Unfortunately, such an auspicious homophonic name has a bit of a distorted meaning when it comes out of Sean's mouth. It sounds like "狗不死".

"It's not Dog Booth, it's Gao, Brother Gao, read after me, Gao~~ Booth."

"Dog~~Booth."

Gao Yi waved his hands helplessly and said, "Practice more in the future. Call my name when you are good at it. Otherwise, don't call it."

"The fingerprints you entered are not real, right?"

Gao Yi smiled and said, "It's fake. You provided it. I wanted to tell you about this fingerprint patch..."

"I'll make a lot of backup for you."

Sean seemed to relax a little. He smiled and said, "Fortunately, you didn't hand over your real physiological information. After all, the Red and Blue Group is the FBI's business. I'm not sure if I hand it over to them."

Gao Yi thought for a moment and said, "The guy who did the work just now is an agent from the FBI Intelligence Division. He and I exchanged contact information."

Sean sneered and said, "Intelligence Division? Ha, a rubbish unit among rubbish units. It is responsible for inciting foreigners to defect in the United States and collecting foreign intelligence. Think about it, what is the point of doing these things in the United States? Let me put it this way. There are a total of 18 units responsible for intelligence work in the United States. The FBI Intelligence Division is just one of them, and it has the lowest authority."

“Isn’t the FBI very powerful?”

"It was great 30 years ago, and it was okay before 01, but after 911/, the FBI basically only had criminal investigation business that had some weight. As for the foreign intelligence and homeland security branches, they are basically just decorations. In general, the FBI is useless now. Otherwise, why do you think they make money by selling identities?"

It turns out that the famous FBI is in such a miserable state now, and Martin is sitting on the bench in a low-income government office.
"So that's it."

Sean continued to sneer, "Now the FBI's power is only to handle cases, and it has to take it from the police. Intelligence and homeland security business has been taken over by the Department of Homeland Security. Those who are really capable of intelligence have either been transferred to the Department of Homeland Security or the CIA. The current intelligence branch is nothing. A low-level role responsible for helping people get certificates, why bother with him? It's a waste of time."

So that's how it is. Come to think of it, it is indeed true. If Martin was really in a high position of power, he would not have risked defrauding Gao Yi for $10,000, and he would not have happily accepted a tip of $1,000.

I thought I had found a powerful person, but I didn't expect that it was not certain who the powerful person was. Although Gao Yi was a little depressed, he did not regret it.

Sean didn't know, but Gao Yi did. Even petty thieves can be very useful, and Martin is also an FBI man. Keeping this relationship is just in case it comes in handy in the future. Seeing Gao Yi not saying anything, Sean continued: "I think the most important thing for you now is not to buy a gun and practice shooting. First of all, you should make a hammer that fits your hand. What do you think?"

Gao Yi thought for a moment and said, "I don't have to use a hammer, but I can make one."

"Very good. There are many knife makers in the United States, and there are also many people who can make axes and hammers. I will help you find someone to make the best hammer."

Gao Yi had an idea in mind, and said, "I know what kind of hammer to make, but I wonder if the people here can make it."

"Of course I can. What kind do you want?"

Based on his two experiences of using hammers on people and some knowledge gained from practicing martial arts, Gao Yi definitely knows what the most suitable hammer looks like.

Gao Yi found a picture of a golden hammer on the Internet and showed it to Sean who was driving. Sean just glanced at it and immediately said, "It's easy. I'll find someone to make it for you. We'll make the best war hammer."

"Okay, thanks, but this gun..."

"You can buy whatever you like, but you don't have to focus on practicing your marksmanship all the time, right?"

Sean tried to dissuade Gao Yi from his plan in a negotiating tone. He said sincerely, "I think what you need most right now is to learn some very basic but important killer skills, such as makeup, such as the skills needed to approach the target and escape, and some experience. You have to learn how to get rid of tracking. What do you think?"

Gao Yi is not stupid, he certainly knows that what Sean said makes sense.

Guns are just a hobby and a hobby, but these killer skills are their signature abilities and life-saving skills. Gao Yi certainly knows which one to practice.

"Will you teach me?"

Sean nodded, but then shook his head and said, "I can only teach you part of it, but I am an assistant after all, not a killer, so some killer skills have to be taught by the killer. You don't have to worry about these. I will definitely find the right person to teach you."

"OK, thanks."

Gao Yi thanked him sincerely, but Sean looked very pleased, as if he had gotten a good deal by having Gao Yi willing to learn from him.

Then Sean suddenly said, "You don't have to thank me. I'm a gardener. It's my job to fertilize and water the flowers. Although you're not a flower in the garden, we're working together. I'll still do my best to help you."

It’s not too surprising that Sean is the gardener.

There is just one thing. Gao Yi said cautiously: "Since you are a gardener, but you need to chase after a newcomer like me, then..."

Some things are hard to say, but Sean took the initiative to say: "Yes, the garden is in a very bad condition, and now I am the only official member of the garden."

Gao Yi took a breath of cold air.

I knew that the Garden was a broken ship, but I didn't expect that the Garden was so sunk that only the bow was left above the water.

Sean said seriously, "Since we are cooperating, we must be honest. I can't trick you into cooperating by saying that the Garden is very powerful now, but I have to say that the Garden has passed the most dangerous stage. Well, as long as new killers join us, we will be able to restore the scale of the Garden soon. I believe it will be very fast."

Does Gao Yi regret it? A little, but not much.

The reason is very simple. If Huayuan had not been at the end of its rope, it would never have valued Gao Yi, a newcomer, so much.

The Andek Group is in its heyday, so it is possible for Gao Yi to join it, but asking the boss of the Andek Group to beg him to join like Sean did, that would be wishful thinking.

So there are pros and cons. If you want to be worshipped like a grandfather, you cannot complain that their temple is too small. If you want to be held on to like a life-saving straw, you cannot complain that their boat is too broken.

Now Sean has started to work for Gao Yi like a housekeeper.

"It's not convenient for me to move around in the United States. This is the headquarters of the Andek Group. I have to be careful, so we live separately. I will send you to the best hotel, but I have to find some safe place."

Sean immediately showed his meticulousness and thoughtfulness, but being too meticulous made him seem a little nagging.

"I'll help you find a suitable knife maker in the next two days. If you really want to buy a gun, I'll find you a good gunsmith, and then I'll contact the right person to teach you some killer skills. Just take a good rest. Oh, by the way, do you need any personal items? I'll go and buy them for you. Just give me a list."

Gao Yi felt embarrassed, and he said politely: "Since it is not convenient for you to come out, I will do these myself. Also, I am embarrassed to ask you to spend money, that..."

"The last thing I need right now is money. These are just some small gifts for you. Don't worry about them."

Sean said this confidently, then he looked at Gao Yi and said with regret: "If you join the Garden, I can pay you a salary."

Cooperation means that Gao Yi has boarded the broken boat of Huayuan, but he can jump off at any time.

Once you get the salary, you are tied to the broken boat of the garden and you can't get off.

That's the only difference, so Gao Yi didn't ask how much the salary was, and Sean didn't mention it in the end.
