Ultimate Firepower

Chapter 60 It's Actually Very Simple

With a low-key yet arrogant step, and with his head held high yet humble yet proud, Gao Yi walked out of the gallery with the manager's cordial farewell.

Gao Yi handled the mentality of being rich but afraid of being known by others, but also wanting others to know it very well.

It was only after walking a whole block that Gao Yi saw the uneasy Sean.

Sean was naturally worried because Gao Yi had been in the gallery for a little over an hour. He then followed Gao Yi from a distance and confirmed that no one was following him before he dared to show up and meet Gao Yi.

"Why did it take so long? Did you gain anything?"

Gao Yi said very complacently: "Oh, I bought 22 paintings, spending 110,000 euros, with an average price of 5,000 euros per painting. I paid 20,000 euros in advance, and I will pay the balance after the gallery delivers the paintings to my castle."

Sean was stunned for a moment, then said, "Okay, so you just bought a bunch of expensive paintings?"

"I also received an invitation to attend a charity dinner at Henry's castle tomorrow."

Sean opened his mouth, but was too shocked to make a sound.

"Why, inappropriate?"

Sean was stunned for a while, and finally lowered his voice and said, "No, it's just... no normal killer would do this, and it's... a little unbelievable, how did you do it?"

Gao Yi said calmly, "It's very simple. Henry's charity auction lacks customers, and even more so customers who are willing to pay. Then I, a sucker, appeared. Of course, someone wants me to pay some money."

Sean still couldn't quite understand. The conflict between the rigorous killer style and Gao Yi's casualness was a bit too big, and he couldn't wrap his mind around it for a while.

After spending some time to sort out the relationship, Sean said in confusion: "But safety is the first priority. So I just invite you to go?"

"Don't think about it from the killer's perspective. Look at it from Henry's men's perspective."

Gao Yi said patiently: "First of all, a Chinese person, and a person alone, how dangerous do you think it is?"

"No."

"Then it's over."

"and then?"

"That's all. I didn't threaten you. So what's wrong with inviting me to a charity dinner?"

Sean said anxiously, "That's not the case. Don't they do a background check? Those professional security teams must conduct a basic check on every guest!"

Gao Yi smiled and said, "But the one who invited me was not a professional security guard. He was just a handyman under Henry, the head of the handyman team."

Xiao En was stunned for a moment, then asked, "So you agree?"

"Not yet, I want to..."

Not knowing how to say "stretch" in English, Gao Yi thought for a moment and said, "I want..."

How to say it when you want to accept but also reject?

"Forget it. Just to increase credibility, I said I'll have to think about it."

Sean asked anxiously, "What identity did you report?" "Oh, I'm just a rich second-generation. My dad bought an ancient castle in France, and I want to buy some oil paintings to decorate the castle. If the paintings can appreciate in value, that would be great, but if they can't, it doesn't matter. Anyway, I don't care about money."

Sean's face turned pale. He said anxiously, "What? You bought a castle? You bought that castle. Who is your father? What are you doing in France? These need to be fully arranged. Otherwise... otherwise, everything will be exposed if someone investigates."

Gao Yi reached out and pressed Sean's shoulder, saying, "Relax, relax! Don't be so nervous. I didn't tell you my name, where the castle is, or what my father's name is. I also didn't promise to attend the charity dinner tomorrow. I just said I'd think about it."

Sean said helplessly: "It's all loopholes. Once you check, you'll find they're all loopholes!"

That’s right, it totally doesn’t stand up to scrutiny.

But why does it have to withstand scrutiny?

Gao Yi didn't understand this, so he said to Sean, "What if we find that everything is full of loopholes?"

"Then we'll be exposed! If we're exposed, we won't have a chance to attack!"

"Then I won't do it. At worst I can just change my target."

The strict and cautious Sean was once again defeated by Gao Yi. He was stunned for a moment and suddenly said, "Yeah, it's exposed, so forget it."

Gao Yi smiled and said, "Then what are you afraid of? The situation is like this. One of Henry's managers is called Roman Batis. He is still staying in the gallery. He is Henry's butler. He invited me to attend the charity dinner tomorrow night. If I have thought it over and am willing to attend, he will send someone to pick me up."

"Send someone to pick you up?"

"Yes, but he also made a request, which is to verify my capital, to confirm that I have enough money to buy the items I bid for. The request is not high, 500,000 euros will be enough."

Sean took a deep breath and said, "Under such a tense situation, would Henry's butler dare to make such a decision? Could it be a conspiracy?"

Gao Yi smiled and said, “Diso has been assassinated many times, but what about Henry?”

"Well, no news, but as a person who is not so important..."

Sean paused, nodded, and said, "Well, Henry and his men don't have much experience dealing with assassins."

Gao Yi smiled and said, "That's right. Diso has been assassinated many times, so he is very careful and cautious. He has a group of experienced bodyguards around him. But Henry is just a gang leader who is just about to get cleaned up. How much experience do you think he has, especially his men? How careful can they be?"

Sean sighed, "That makes sense. A group of gang members can't adjust their mentality that quickly. They are good at dealing with gang fighting and killing, but they have no idea about high-end killers."

"I told them that I just arrived in Paris today and was bored and just wandered around. I spent hundreds of thousands of euros for daily consumption. This is my personality. As for what my name should be, who my father is, where my castle is, how to deal with the capital verification, and which hotel to stay in, these are your business. Once you have dealt with these things, I will call the butler named Roman and tell him that I am willing to attend the dinner. If he can't handle it well, I will just ignore him and it will be over. It's that simple. Do you understand?"

Yes, it's that simple.

Fortunately, Sean just played too many high-end games. It's like playing in the King rank for too long, so when he reaches the Silver rank, he can't help but overestimate his opponents.

As long as he adjusts his mindset, there is no need to worry about Sean's ability to get things done.

Sean said excitedly, "I'll take care of it. These are easy to handle. Find someone who actually bought the castle in France and figure out the name. Then we'll know what to call you. Arrange a suitable hotel and prepare a well-funded account for you. As for the clothes you need to wear to the banquet, I'll take care of them right away."

If it works, it works. If it doesn’t, forget it. It’s actually very simple.

Anyway, Gao Yi thought it was very simple.
