Mercenary's War

Morgan repeatedly emphasized how lucky he was. He originally just wanted to find someone he could absolutely control to help him launder money, and it turned out this guy was a genius.

It was clear that Morgan really valued that trader, and he was particularly proud of his luck. This made Gao Yang take it more seriously, since in the future, Stanley Rogers would be under his control.

The photos were taken from a video, but they were very clear. Dozens of photos could clearly show how Stanley used a kitchen knife to slit his girlfriend’s throat, then frantically tried to save her, and finally how he staged a robbery-murder scene and left the scene.

After looking at the photos, Gao Yang carefully put them back into the file folder, then casually asked, "Why did he kill his girlfriend?"

Morgan shrugged and said, "I don’t know, why should I know? I just needed to find someone reliable and capable to help me launder money, but such talents are hard to find. Knowing that a young but very capable guy encountered trouble that could ruin his life, of course, I had to seize the opportunity to control him. All of this happened under very coincidental circumstances. You just need a good result, why bother with the reasons?"

Gao Yang nodded and said, "I am indeed very curious. So, well then, is there anything else I need to know?"

Morgan scratched the corner of his eye, then said steadily, "Protect Bob well. Bob is my only weakness."

Gao Yang seriously said, "Bob and I are friends, and we’re really close. What I want to say is, isn’t leaving nothing but money to Bob a bit unfair? What will he think? If he wants what you leave behind, should I return it to him? It was supposed to be his."

Morgan looked at Gao Yang and smiled, "What do you think?"

"I would return it to him without hesitation because I am not a greedy person. Money for me is just enough to spend. I can’t finish spending even billions of dollars, let alone tens of billions, so why need so much?"

Morgan pondered for a moment, then softly said to Gao Yang, "You still don’t believe me, do you? Don’t believe that I would really give all this to you."

Gao Yang sincerely said, "No, really no, if I doubted it, I wouldn’t take it over. I just think that handing down the family business to your son is normal. As a Huaxia person, I can hardly imagine not leaving my business to my son but to someone else."

Morgan rubbed his hands, then said seriously, "What if leaving the estate to a son would endanger him? What if leaving the estate to a son would just let others snatch it away? Gao, my money is hot, most people can’t hold onto it."

The reason for revisiting previously agreed matters was because Gao Yang still found it somewhat incomprehensible at the critical moment.

Gao Yang was not a great person. Giving everything he earned to someone else instead of his own family was something he couldn’t do even under threat. Morgan previously just mentioned leaving everything to him instead of Bob, but with no actual action taken. However, as Morgan truly began transferring his assets, the doubts in his mind had to be formally faced.

"I know you and Bob are very close, so let me ask you, if Bob needed help in the future, would you help him?"

"Of course, no need to ask. I will do my utmost to help him being my friend, a good friend."

"Then that’s enough. If I could live another ten years, I might not do this, not even consider it, but I can’t live that long, and as for Bob, I started nurturing him too late, I spoiled him too much."

Gao Yang thought for a moment, then looking at Morgan said seriously, "Then, I’ll protect your assets for ten years, and after ten years, I’ll return everything to Bob. I am serious."

Morgan laughed and said, "Gao, never make promises about things ten years in the future. I know that’s truly what you think now, but in ten years? After having all this for ten years? A vast fortune inherently implies power, and once you experience the charm of power, will you still think the same way?"

Gao Yang said very seriously, "I will not change, and I suggest revising those contracts now, or you should make a will, specifying all inheritance goes to Bob."

Morgan waved his hand, laughed and said, "Gao, perhaps you won’t change, but what about the people around you? Ten years is too long, I dare not bet on it. People change, people will definitely change, even if you don’t change, the environment will force you to change. Even if you haven’t changed, what if those around you change? If they think you shouldn’t give away what you managed for ten years for nothing and they decide for you using the most direct means, like killing Bob? Do you think that possibility doesn’t exist?"

Sweat broke out on Gao Yang’s forehead, and he really couldn’t immediately respond.

Morgan smiled and said, "Therefore, giving these to Bob now is harmful to him. If I give them to you, you will help Bob with all your might, protect him with everything you have. Even after ten years you would still protect and assist him. With the wealth I leave for Bob and your full support, perhaps Bob can create more wealth than I can give him! But if you transform from inheritor to Guardian, will you kill him? Not now, but ten years later?"

Without hesitation, Gao Yang firmly said, "I absolutely won’t!"

Morgan promptly said, "What if you die?"

Gao Yang had no words to respond.

Morgan slowly said, "That’s why, I’ll never bet on things ten years from now. I have confidence in you, I trust you, I’m giving you everything I can because only that guarantees that Bob gets everything he can hold onto."

Gao Yang couldn’t help but wipe the sweat again. Morgan smiled and said, "I advanced from being someone’s Glove to this point because I’ve been careful enough and had enough foresight, that’s why I have what I have today. But no matter how far I see, I’d never gamble on human nature, especially not the human nature ten years from now. Giving everything to you ensures you protect Bob, which is something foreseeable. Leaving everything for Bob, asking you to guard it for him, forces you to make choices you don’t want to make now. This is a completely unpredictable unknown, and I’d never do something so foolish."

Gao Yang slowly said, "Does Bob know about this? Have you told him these things?"

Morgan said solemnly, "Of course. That’s why he has no objection to you inheriting my business because he knows he can’t hold onto it. You regard him as a friend, and he regards you as a friend. Since it has to be given to others, you are naturally the best choice."
