Gundam 00: Rise of China

The moment he heard the sound outside the hangar, Wang Ye immediately released his grip on Piris.

Slowly getting up, Wang Ye patted the dust off his pants and looked down at the man leaning against the doorframe at the hangar entrance.

After a brief look, he spoke in a calm tone, yet with an undeniable certainty.

"Ali al-Sachs".

The visitor was none other than Saches.

The culprit of all evil in this world!

Saches was now wearing a faded black combat uniform, his boots stained with mud and dried blood.

He had a thick goatee on his chin, and his narrow brown eyes exuded a strong smell of gunpowder and blood.

Like a hungry wolf that has just crawled out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood, it stood in front of Wang Ye, smiling incongruously.

Wang Ye's eyes narrowed slightly.

Both his memories from his past life and the information he found in this world told him everything clearly.

The man before you is the most dangerous war maniac in the entire gravity circle.

He spent the first half of his life going mad for the gods, and the second half living for his bloodlust.

The blood on his hands, to exaggerate, could have dyed the entire coastline of Ceylon red.

"Oh, it's an honor." Saches straightened up, dusted himself off, and gave an exaggerated smile.

"I never imagined that my reputation would have reached Lord Xia's ears."

Saches's gaze swept over Piris, who stood behind Wang Ye with eyes as cold as knives, and then over Anura, who jumped out of the thug-style cockpit with clenched fists and a fierce look on her face.

Finally, his gaze returned to Wang Ye, filled with undisguised inquiry.

"You know me?" Wang Ye asked directly, ignoring the guardedness of his two subordinates.

At the same time, he was quickly making plans in his mind.

Although Manekin was stingy and sabotaged, he wasn't stupid enough to reveal his true identity to someone like Sacher.

The only possibility is that the AEU intends to dump all the dirtiest and most shameful tasks of the Taliban mission onto this vermin mercenary.

After all, there are some things that the People's Revolutionary Alliance and the AEU's regular forces absolutely cannot get involved in.

So, handing it over to someone like Sacheros, who has no bottom line and can be abandoned at any time, is the right thing to do.

That would be perfect!

"Of course, of course."

Unaware of Wang Ye's true assessment of him, Saches smiled and shrugged, speaking casually as if he were discussing the weather.

"With the sudden appearance of a 'Major Char' with a perfect resume and clean background in Moralia, along with two subordinates who looked like they were not to be trifled with, it was hard not to pay attention to him."

"What's on paper might fool those office workers, but it won't fool us who spend our lives rolling around in piles of corpses in Moralia."

Taking two steps forward, Saches glanced at the three dusty thugs.

He appeared casual, but in reality, 99% of his attention was still focused on Wang Ye.

"Lord Char, who exactly are you?"

Upon hearing this, Piris unconsciously reached for the pistol hidden under his skirt, and Anura also took a half step forward, his bald head gleaming coldly under the light.

"Do you need any help?"

Ignoring the two men's hostile attitude, Saches suddenly laughed, then raised his chin towards Piris and said in a flippant tone.

"I'm the best at dealing with these disobedient little girls."

"Leave it to me. I guarantee that within three days, if you tell her to go east, she will never dare to go west."

"Will you also participate in the mission in Taliban?"

Ignoring Saches's suggestion, Wang Ye raised his hand to stop Anura, who was about to erupt, and Piris, who was already in battle mode.

Having roughly sorted out his current situation, Wang Ye put on a standard Tokyo University-style diplomatic smile.

Upon hearing this, Saches raised an eyebrow, unconcerned about being ignored.

They had no idea what Wang Ye was thinking, or rather, it wouldn't matter if they did know.

Having spent years on the battlefield and done all sorts of dirty work, Sacher was surprisingly clear about his own role.

After the illegal mining areas guarded by his own mercenary group were destroyed by Celestial Being's Gundams.

If you want to survive and earn more money, then don't worry too much about how your employer views you.

However, it's one thing to disregard how your employer sees you, but it's quite another to be foolishly taken advantage of by your employer.

This is why he used his connections to notice the sudden appearance of a major named Char in Moralia and rushed over immediately.

"That's right." Saches readily agreed to Wang Ye's question, his tone clearly showing dissatisfaction.

"Manekin contacted me through a war broker, saying he had a big business deal."

"But the big shots up there are really stingy."

Pointing at the three monkey-style thugs, Sacherus shook his head.

"Driving this kind of metal coffin to Taliban, I'd probably die before the first episode. Our enemy is the Union Army, equipped with the latest MS flag-style armor."

"And the Celestial Being organization, which possesses even more powerful weaponry."

"Oh?" This piqued Wang Ye's interest, and he stared at the other person, asking tentatively.

"So, Lord Saches has connections to obtain better equipment?"

"certainly."

With a businessman's enthusiastic smile on his face, Saches even made a money gesture.

"This is Moralia, an empire of money and power."

"As long as the money is right, I can get you three brand-new riot-style machines, let alone the Iron Man of the People's Revolutionary Alliance."

"The allure of money is limitless!"

"For example, a standardized format?"

The phrase "Iron Man" from the People's Revolutionary Alliance made Wang Ye's eyebrows twitch behind his sunglasses, but he then asked casually.

If we could get our hands on a standard AEU machine that is currently not for sale through Sachers's connections, even if it has some minor flaws, bringing it back to the People's Revolutionary Alliance would be a great achievement!

Saches' smile froze for a moment after he had said something that seemed a bit too much.

With a dry laugh, Saches shamelessly admitted that he couldn't handle it, after all, it was the lifeblood of the AEU...

"Okay, just kidding."

Wang Ye, who had no expectations to begin with, didn't make things difficult for him and directly stated his own request.

"I want four original Mobster models, brand new and genuine, not refurbished ones."

"Four units?"

Saches paused for a moment, then his smile instantly became even brighter.

Being as clever as he is, he naturally knows that the extra machine is for himself.

"I'll pay you, you do the work."

Staring at Saches, Wang Ye's words were full of the air of a wealthy patron.

"I'm not as stingy as some people. As long as the work is done well, money is not a problem."

Double entendre.

Saches immediately understood.

"no problem!"

Saches pounded his chest frantically, assuring them.

"Within three days, no, within two days, four brand-new Thugs will be delivered to the base gates."

"By the way, do you want me to recommend a car modification shop?"

"As long as the money's right, the modified Thug will definitely surprise you!"

"Okay." Wang Ye nodded slightly, of course he wouldn't refuse such a thing. "I'll send you the modification plan later, and we'll calculate the cost together."

"Sure, sure!"

Saches nodded repeatedly, thinking about how much kickback he could get from this deal.

"Then I won't bother you any longer, Lord Xia. I'll go and arrange the equipment now, and deliver it on time within two days!"

After saying that, Saches turned and left, demonstrating a high degree of professionalism.

Only after Saches's figure completely disappeared from the hangar entrance did Anura finally feel compelled to speak.

However, Wang Ye stopped the other party again.

"I know who he is, and you know who I am."

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

Meanwhile, as Saches walked out of the base, the snobbish smile on his face vanished instantly.

He took out his lighter and lit one for himself.

"Char, a member of the Human Reform League?"

"The three great powers are scheming against each other, and then there's that mysterious celestial being?"

He tossed aside the cigarette he'd only taken a puff of, then crushed it out with his military boot, a maniacal smile creeping across Saches's lips.

"This is...so exciting!"

"This is the taste of war! Pleasant, so very pleasurable!"
