Getting the best from Tarkov

Chapter 200 The Four Knights of Apocalypse

When Liao Fan came out of the hut by the sea, the sun was about to set below the sea level.

In the golden afterglow, Liao Fan walked alone to Damon, who was sunbathing with Wilson on the beach farther away. He whispered a few words and then turned and walked towards the yacht.

At this time, Wilson also stood up and followed.

After Liao Fan and Wilson returned to the yacht on the speedboat that stopped at the dock, a graceful figure slowly walked out of the cabin.

Turning around to look at the person coming, Damon shrugged slightly, picked up a notebook from the small table beside him, wrote a few words on it with a pen and put it back.

The yacht was moving slowly back, while Liao Fan and Wilson were leaning on the deck railing, admiring the stars in the sky and chatting intermittently.

Without the light pollution of the city and with the cloudless weather, Liao Fan felt as if he was about to be drowned by the starry sky.

The bright spots that could only be vaguely seen in the city in the past now seem to cover the entire sky.

He casually flicked the burnt cigarette butt from his fingertips into the sea and said to Wilson behind him, "After Damon has selected the people tomorrow, you will take them to the villa and the museum to start work.

After the New Year, when Yang Xue is ready, we will arrange for her to leave as well.

It's only Cai'er's side. If there is no problem with manpower, we can arrange it together.

Go recruit another group of people, bring them to the island, and let Damon and the others continue their training, mainly women this time."

After saying that, Liao Fan turned around and went back to the cabin.

But when Liao Fan was about to enter the passage, he suddenly thought of something and turned to Wilson and said, "

These are the women I'll be hiring later. Don't assign any tasks to these female employees for now. I have a special training program for them."

...

Time quickly came to the end of the year.

Sunny Investment had arranged for its employees to take holidays one week ago.

However, under Liao Fan's subtle guidance over the years, veterans including Zhang Tingting and Xiaoyu have basically moved to Hong Kong with the two of them.

Even the older people like Old Xie and Xun Zhao have basically brought their family members to Hong Kong.

It was a coincidence that when Yang Xue was recruiting this group of senior team members, she did not pay attention to it. Later she found out that these people seemed to have no families.

Even though Xun Zhao was already married, he only started working after divorcing his wife.

This saves a lot of unnecessary trouble.

During the past two years of working in Hong Kong, Ning Zhenzhen and Lao Xie also got married.

On the night of New Year's Eve, Lao Xie proposed to Ning Zhenzhen. Not only Liao Fan and Yang Xue were present, but Zhang Tingting and Xiaoyu were also spending the New Year's Eve in Liao Fan's villa.

Seeing that their good friends finally got married, they all sent their blessings.

As a result, everyone was happy and drank a little too much. With the people around them cheering, Liao Fan suddenly confessed his love to Yang Xue.

Although the relationship between the two has long been no secret in the eyes of this veteran of the company, but when you think about it carefully, Liao Fan has never formally confessed his feelings to Yang Xue.

Of course, one of the reasons is Yang Xue’s attitude towards not getting married, but Liao Fan is also deliberately avoiding the issue.

After all, as the first woman in Liao Fan's life, Yang Xue holds a very special position in his heart.

Over the years, Liao Fan has raped many women, but apart from the orphan Qiao Lan and the hostage Okatani Aoi, there is really no one with a clean identity like Yang Xue.

At that time, under the influence of the atmosphere of the people around her, although Yang Xue was not drunk at all, she still felt warm in her heart.

Which woman has not dreamed of a sweet love?

So, in front of everyone, the two officially announced their relationship as boyfriend and girlfriend.

That night, the two of them were quite crazy, and Zhang Tingting, who slept in the master bedroom next to her, was so restless that she couldn't sleep the whole night.

But when the morning sun shone into the house the next day, Yang Xue snuggled in Liao Fan's arms and softly rejected Liao Fan's confession the night before.

Liao Fan, who had just finished morning exercises, was still thinking about the more miserable beauty in his mind. He was stunned when he heard the words of the girl in his arms.

But then he figured it out.

No matter what the reason, he was not a qualified husband, but if he had to watch Yang Xue marry someone else and have children for another man in the future, Liao Fan had no way to explain it.

Therefore, under his extremely domineering and even somewhat unreasonable demands, the relationship between the two returned to being underground lovers.

However, in order to save face for both of them, this matter was not made public, and their relationship to the outside world is still that of a couple.

After happily spending a week during the Spring Festival holiday, everyone quickly got back to work.

Yang Xue had started preparing before the New Year, so she flew to Italy early after the New Year and before officially resuming work.

Accompanying them were Will and Fernanda.

The reason why Will accompanied her personally this time was naturally not because he was greedy for the subsidy for the B-level mission, but because he was not confident in Fernanda's business ability.

After all, in the eyes of Zi and the others, this woman got this mission opportunity entirely by whispering in others' ears.

Even though Liao Fan was very confident in the quality of the skill USB flash drive he provided, Damon and the other two, who knew Yang Xue's status in Liao Fan's eyes, still did not dare to take it lightly.

Therefore, the three of them finally decided to let the more stable Will go along to cover the loss.

In case of any emergency, Will should be able to handle it with his experience on the battlefield.

After making arrangements with Yang Xue, Liao Fan originally planned to let Feng Caier leave Hong Kong together during the peak travel season during the New Year holiday, but because Wilson recruited the third batch of employees, they had only been on the island for a short time.

Liao Fan couldn't produce so many binding scrolls at once, and was worried that if he took too many people away at once, there would be problems on the island, so he had to postpone it again for a while.

Liao Fan was not idle during this period. Taking advantage of the Tarkov deletion carnival during the New Year, he and Aoi Okatani made a lot of money from Tarkov.

In addition to the usual skill USB flash drives and some other miscellaneous items, Liao Fan this time focused on trying to sacrifice a large number of antique books through the cult circle.

Hard work pays off. Although the quality of items obtained through cult circles is far inferior to those sold directly to aunties, quantitative changes can still lead to qualitative changes.

After sacrificing 40 antique books at once, a painting of Dürer's Four Horsemen was successfully transformed.

After getting the oil painting, Liao Fan searched for relevant information online.

It turned out that there was indeed a work by Dürer on the theme of "The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse" in the British Museum.

But that was a stencil carving.

Although the theme of Liao Fan's oil painting is still the Four Horsemen in the Book of Revelation, the style of the painting is somewhat different from that of the template sculpture.

After getting the painting, Liao Fan immediately went to see Qian Zeyang who was still at his house.

Although Qian Zeyang is not an expert in this field, with his connections, it would not be easy for him to find someone to identify it.

After getting confirmation from his old friend Qian, Liao Fan immediately sent the photo of the painting to Yang Xue, who had already arrived in Italy and was shopping at the Prada counter.
