Gao Yang thought carefully about Morgan's question regarding Grand Ivan and nodded, saying, "He's quite extraordinary. I suppose we could be considered friends."
Morgan said gravely, "That explains a lot. Who is Grand Ivan? He is the uncrowned king of the Underworld, controlling a vast arms trade network. He is one of the true power players in this world. The President of America may come and go with elections, but there are no such turnovers in Grand Ivan's Empire."
Gao Yang chuckled and replied, "Indeed, Grand Ivan is very impressive."
After clinking his glass with Gao Yang's and taking a sip of his drink, Morgan exhaled slowly and fixed his gaze on Gao Yang, "Who is Grand Ivan? Does he lack mercenaries like you? If he wished, he could make mercenaries worldwide work for him, yet why does he consider you a friend?"
Gao Yang spread his hands and said, "Well, I've saved his life before."
