May 21, 2014, Kiev.
The big battle had just ended, and while there were still a bunch of people who couldn't get off their hospital beds, Gao Yang rushed back to Kyiv.
He had a lot of loose ends to tie up, couldn't avoid coming, and there was another important task: getting his hands on Morgan's gun as quickly as possible.
But to find a way to pocket something that belongs to someone else, Gao Yang couldn't think of any alternative other than buying or stealing.
To buy, no matter how expensive the price, it wasn't a problem. But that wasn't even an option; the gun owner was richer than Gao Yang, even wealthier than Morgan.
To steal—the owner was the future president of Ukraine. Gao Yang couldn't do it even if he had all the courage in the world.
Gao Yang wasn't planning to buy it. If making an offer would expose the target, which was impossible anyway, he might as well act directly so that even if Poloneshenko lost the gun, he wouldn't know who took it.
