Chapter 1142 - 1147: Hummingbird
Yang Yi was about to take a helicopter ride with Anton, but Xiao Ran insisted on joining them.
Actually, Yang Yi didn’t want Xiao Ran to follow along. Including himself, there were just three people in New York who were capable of taking action—that is to say, operatives. If Xiao Ran left too, Boer and the others would have no one to protect them.
Boer, Norbert, Schultz, Chris—no matter how you looked at it, each of them was useless in a fight. Even though Chris had undergone top-notch training with the Aurora Mercenary Corps, he was still no good in combat.
So Yang Yi had originally planned to order Xiao Ran to stay behind, but after making eye contact with her, he changed his mind.
Xiao Ran undoubtedly was the wildcard within the Organization of Water, she really was. That’s because Xiao Ran was the only person Yang Yi couldn’t compel to absolute obedience with his orders—not because he couldn’t, but because he didn’t dare, because he felt guilt, and because he felt embarrassed.
Therefore, Xiao Ran joined Yang Yi and Anton on their way to the suburbs of New York, although Yang Yi intended to prevent Xiao Ran from boarding the helicopter, he hadn’t said it yet—still unsure how to articulate it.
Anton was driving up front, Yang Yi sat in the passenger seat, and Xiao Ran sat in the back.
The three people traveled in silence, truly an unpleasant experience, but Yang Yi just didn’t know what to say.
Finally, it was Xiao Ran who broke the silence first.
