Mercenary’s War

Chapter 2679 - 2653: What Is Beauty, Really?

  • Next Chapter

Eileen was wearing an army green vest, desert camouflage pants, and combat boots, with her hands on her hips, smiling at the camera.

The photo Gao Yang had eagerly awaited finally arrived, and he was initially delighted, but upon seeing the picture, he was first stunned, then angry, so his phone slipped from his hand and fell to the ground.

Seeing Gao Yang’s constipated-looking face, Yelena nervously picked up the phone. When she looked at it, her beautiful face started to twist as well.

Without caring whether it was appropriate or not, Gao Yang shakily took out the satellite phone and stumbled into a quiet corner, shakily dialing the satellite phone Glolov was holding. Once the call connected, he lowered his voice desperately, angrily asking, "Who took the photo? Who shot it!"

Eileen softly asked, "Jansen, what’s wrong? Is it bad?"

Strictly speaking, there was nothing wrong with the photo itself; it just captured something off about Eileen. It was fine to take a picture of Eileen in a military outfit, but she shouldn’t have left the gun strapped to her leg. Her expression was fierce, clearly someone not to be messed with. A fierce glare isn’t an issue, but smiling inanely while glaring fiercely... looking like an idiot wasn’t good, and having a newly shaved, shiny head while smiling like an idiot made her look really stupid.

"You—you—why did you shave your head again? Huh? Who told you to do it? Everyone in the group has longer hair than you!"

"Uh, it’s cooler..."

Gao Yang fumed, "Tell Big Bird he takes portraits like crap!"

Eileen snappishly said, "Hmm?"

"Not you’re crap, Jansen made you look like crap in the picture! Go give him a beating for me! Then get someone else to take a new one. Do you have a wig? Put it on! Remove the gun, cover up the tattoo, I’m begging you, please, this is for a model selection, Eileen! Take a few more shots, we’re not worried about the data transmission cost, Justin will pay!"

Eileen immediately responded, "Alright, I’ll take a new shot quickly, the person transmitting data is still here, but what about no wig?"

"Wear a hat! Do I need to teach you this too?"

As Gao Yang was angrily speaking, someone yelled, "Hey, hey! Sir, you’re interrupting my work!"

Gao Yang finally realized his voice was getting louder

"Sorry, my sincerest apologies, Mr. Lagerfeld, I will shut up now!"

Karl Lagerfeld glared at Gao Yang, then loudly proclaimed, "Everyone, let’s continue."

Gao Yang rubbed his forehead with his hand, then returned to sit beside Yelena. In a whisper, Yelena said, "Darling, I don’t think this is going to work. We should think of a way to make sure Mr. Lagerfeld doesn’t reject us now. If he sees the photo, he’ll definitely say no. Let’s leave tonight so we have room to maneuver. What do you think?"

Gao Yang whispered back, "I think you’re right, let’s wait a bit longer, take a few more photos."

After another five minutes, Gao Yang’s phone buzzed again, and he received another picture. Eileen was still wearing the vest, but at least the handgun was gone, and she was wearing a hat to cover the shaved head, and her eyes were not as fierce, her smile seemed more normal.

Katy Perry was somewhat bored, Jody stood expressionless behind her, Bob sat in a chair sneakily glancing at Jody, while Yelena watched Gao Yang anxiously, and Gao Yang was barely managing to sit.

Patiently waiting until a batch of models finished walking, Gao Yang quickly stood up and said, "Mr. Lagerfeld, the photo has arrived."

Karl Lagerfeld turned and said, "In this day and age, waiting this long for a photo is rather rare, let me see it."

Gao Yang held the phone in his hand, raising it for Karl Lagerfeld to see the picture. Karl Lagerfeld didn’t take the phone, but after a quick glance, he frowned and said, "Nice muscles, but the smile is too fake. She shouldn’t smile like an idiot, what’s with this hat? Is it a military hat? No taste at all, the vest... I’ll forgo commenting, but what are those stains on the pants? What can that even signify? Ha, combat boots? Well, I won’t even start on that."

Karl Lagerfeld shook his head and turned his gaze away, then said to Gao Yang, "Sorry, Mr. Gao, your candidate... obviously doesn’t meet my criteria. Her muscles are indeed nice, very beautiful, but she’s unsuitable."

Gao Yang urgently said, "Please check this photo, Mr. Lagerfeld, this one is much better."

Gao Yang swiped the phone to the right, but he was immediately shocked, and quickly swiped back to the left, urgently saying, "Not this one, this one."

Mr. Lagerfeld’s eyes widened, his mouth dropped open as he saw Eileen’s awful photo, and Gao Yang wanted to slap himself; in combat he remained unfazed, yet his nervousness led to such a blunder.

Gao Yang deeply regretted not deleting Eileen’s first picture, watching her profile photo on the phone, he felt he messed everything up.

Suddenly, Gao Yang felt a lightness in his hand, realizing only then that Mr. Lagerfeld had snatched away the phone.

Quickly scrolling through the photos, Mr. Lagerfeld exclaimed, "Oh my God!"

Gao Yang instinctively snatched the phone back, and then saw Mr. Lagerfeld looking at his empty hands, exclaiming, "I found her! It’s her!"

Gao Yang was stunned for a moment, and then he quickly placed the phone back in Mr. Lagerfeld’s hands.

Karl Lagerfeld spun around suddenly, almost like a child who just got his favorite toy, excitedly shouting, "Look at her muscles, strong yet proportionate, look at her eyes! Her eyes are filled with menace, even through the phone I feel like I’m suffocating, but her smile is so innocent and cute! Her bald head! My God! Wild and untamed beauty! She’s carrying a gun, it’s a marvel, I didn’t feel it as a symbol of violence! A perfect blend of strength and beauty, God’s masterpiece! I found her! I found her!"

Watching Karl Lagerfeld yelling enthusiastically, Gao Yang felt like he was the idiot all along, he almost wrecked everything.

Could it be that the eye of a fashion master is so distinct, so skilled at discovering beauty unseen by others?

Katy Perry immediately asked, "May I see it?"

Gao Yang leaned closer to Karl Lagerfeld, taking another look at the picture, and suddenly felt that Eileen’s smile didn’t look that idiotic after all.

Karl Lagerfeld abruptly spun around, glaring at Gao Yang, asking, "How tall is she?"

"Uh, uh, 1.78 meters."

"Perfect! I want to see her, immediately! Can I? Mr. Gao, please, can you have her brought to me immediately? Can you?"

Karl Lagerfeld’s mastery in the field was due to his unparalleled passion, and now, he seemed to be on the verge of madness.

Gao Yang whispered, "There’s a tiny issue, uh, she has tattoos, and they’re quite large."

"It’s fine! It’s fine! I don’t mind!"

"Uh, she also has scars? Is that okay?"

"Scars? Wonderful! I need that! Scars on her aren’t flaws or regrets, they are beauty! Even if they are regrets, they’re beautiful regrets!"

Gao Yang immediately said, "I’ll bring her right away, she’s not in America, but give me thirty-six hours, at most thirty-six hours, and I’ll have her in front of you!"
