Chapter 1270 - 1275 Gratitude
Yang Yi was willing to believe that Azar was grateful to him, because ever since he stopped Wahid from going to meet Baghdadi with them, Azar had been very cooperative.
Azar had brought two people, and Yang Yi also brought two, but behind them, Brian was leading the Magic Box Squadron. Azar was aware of Pandora Box’s existence, but he said nothing, showing no sign of objection.
The road from Baghdad to Mosul was very dangerous. Although there were many checkpoints set up by the Iraqi National Defence along the way, these checkpoints posed little threat to Yang Yi’s group. However, those scattered armed groups might pose a threat.
However, within Iraq, the road was fairly peaceful; the real test was at the Iraq-Syria border.
Iraq had very strict defenses against wars from neighboring countries. Near the border, large armies were stationed for defense, and one had to go through numerous inspections to cross the border.
In recent years, ISIS had grown strong, and many places within Iraq had fallen under ISIS control. To enter the territory controlled by ISIS, one must go through Iraqi checks and obtain permission.
The meeting with Baghdadi must be extremely confidential, so Yang Yi and Azar could not reveal their identities. Although Yang Yi did not care much about exposure, he couldn’t pass through checkpoints by revealing his identity.
How to pass through one checkpoint and post after another? The simplest way was bribery.
Azar proactively took on the responsibility of leading Yang Yi through the checkpoints. He probably had this route ready for a long time and managed it well, so everything went smoothly.
It wasn’t until they approached the border that Yang Yi’s group faced the real test.
Azar slowed down ahead of them, then drove directly onto the roadside desert. Yang Yi, who was driving himself, followed him down. Once he parked, Azar walked over from his vehicle.
