Chapter 752: Chapter 757 Going Their Separate Ways

Brian now knew where Annastasia was, and for this, the entire Organization of Water had put in a tremendous effort, even paying a heavy price.

What price?

The Organization of Water could have comfortably stayed undercover by Jethro’s side, could have honestly obtained Deyo’s intelligence and then sold it to Justin to make money, but to fulfill Brian’s wish, the Organization of Water stopped dealing in intelligence and even became direct enemies with Big Ivan. Isn’t that a high enough price?

In Yang Yi’s view, all the sacrifices were worth it, but now it was time to face the consequences.

After all, Jethro was still waiting for the message.

Yang Yi began to feel a headache coming on.

Yang Yi truly felt apologetic facing Jethro, now all the lies had to be exposed, and he began to understand why betraying their former comrades was the cruellest thing for traitors, because by killing them, no one would constantly remind the traitors of those embarrassing experiences anymore.

Now both Brian and Anton suggested to simply take out Jethro, but Yang Yi decided against their advice, for a simple reason—he just couldn’t do it.

When he drove to meet Jethro, Jethro was almost beside himself with worry.

"Where are the others? Why is it only you guys who came back? What happened? I can’t contact anyone; tell me what’s going on!"

Yang Yi scratched his head, and then said with considerable embarrassment, "Uh, a lot has happened, and the result is..."

Yang Yi didn’t know how to continue, he sighed, and said to Jethro, "I’m sorry!"

Jethro took two steps back, wearily leaning against the car, and then said in despair, "It’s really like that, huh? I should never have trusted you—damn it, how could I fall into the same trap twice."

Looking at Yang Yi, Jethro said weakly, "Before you can take me out, can you at least tell me what exactly happened? If I die without knowing the cause, that would be too regrettable."

Yang Yi thought about it, then spread his hands and said, "It’s complicated. I’ll explain slowly later. First off, I’m not here to take you out. I have no intention of killing you; on the contrary, to ensure you can survive, I suggest you call Deyo right now and ask him for some money, because Deyo will definitely try to kill you. It would be better to swindle as much money as you can before he does, so at least you won’t have to worry about your livelihood for the rest of your life."

Jethro just looked at Yang Yi coldly, and Yang Yi said with a bitter smile, "Really, don’t look at me like that. If you don’t want to die, you’d better start thinking about how to deal with Deyo."

"Are all the others dead?"

"Yes, they’re all dead, not a single one left, the Fearless Mercenary Corps is finished, and all of Deyo’s confidants are dead too. I can assure you that they had no chance to tell Deyo what happened before they died because we jammed their communications. The range wasn’t very large, but it was enough to ensure they had no chance to contact the outside world."

With a cold sneer, Jethro said, "You came well-prepared."

"Indeed, the preparations were thorough, because... let me explain, because Deyo was our target, the Fearless Mercenary Corps was our target, Big Ivan, he was also our target. I can tell you that everyone but you was a target for us to kill; there were just some minor changes in the order of things."

Jethro’s face turned ashen, but he was at a loss for words. Yang Yi gave a helpless smile and said, "Jethro, you’re a decent guy, so you’re not going to die. If you weren’t such a stand-up person, then there would be no need for me to tell you any of this because I would have already killed you, and you understand this, right?"

Seeing Jethro’s complexion improve slightly, Yang Yi continued, "So you don’t need to worry about me wanting to kill you. If I really wanted to do that, you would be dead by now. But everything I’ve done will make Deyo want to kill you, so if you don’t want to die, I suggest you do something."

In a low voice, Jethro said, "Do something? Everyone Deyo sent is dead, and now I’m the only one alive. How could Deyo possibly let me live? So, of course, I’m as good as dead."

Yang Yi said, "It depends on how you spin it. The men from the Fearless Mercenary Corps are dead, and Deyo’s trusted lieutenants are dead. So whatever you say, isn’t that what it is? You tell Deyo that we encountered Big Ivan and had a fierce battle, many died, but you discovered Big Ivan’s whereabouts. Or, you say that you’ve inflicted heavy losses on Big Ivan, then how is Deyo supposed to verify it? You could even claim that Big Ivan is dead, just that you couldn’t get the evidence since all your people are dead."

Jethro fell into contemplation.

Yang Yi walked over to Jethro, placed a hand on his shoulder, and whispered, "I’ll tell you something else, Deyo is a dead man walking. With the current situation, how could he possibly win against Big Ivan? So all you have to do is survive a while, wait for Deyo to die, and then what danger will you have? I won’t say anything about this, you won’t say anything, and certainly, Big Ivan wouldn’t tell Deyo, would he?"

Jethro glanced sideways at Yang Yi and asked, "What exactly is your relationship with Big Ivan?"

Yang Yi raised his right hand and said urgently, "I swear, I have no relationship with Big Ivan whatsoever."

"No relationship? Hah, just a moment ago you clashed with Big Ivan’s men, and you came out without a scratch while all of Deyo’s men are dead. And you’re telling me you have no relationship with Big Ivan?"

With an air of helplessness, Yang Yi said, "Really, there’s no relationship. Okay, I’ll tell you the truth. If there’d been a chance, we would’ve killed the Black Devil. But although we had the Black Devil surrounded, we couldn’t kill them. We needed to negotiate and were at a disadvantage during the negotiations, so... we teamed up with the Black Devil to take out the Fearless Mercenary Corps and also Deyo’s confidants along the way."

Jethro remained silent, and Yang Yi said softly, "Buddy, think about your life. I suggest you give Deyo a call, tell him that although there’s been a small setback, there’s also been significant progress. In that case, maybe you’ll have a chance to get a handsome sum of money. Even if Deyo sends someone new to replace you, as long as we protect you, no one can hurt you. All you have to do is wait for Deyo to die, and then you’re safe, completely safe."

Jethro, left with no choice, understood that Deyo would never let him go unless he could turn this massive failure into a victory. As long as he could stall for time, as long as he could wait for Deyo to be taken out, then all would be well.

Watching Jethro still silent, Yang Yi sighed and said, "How about this, you definitely don’t feel safe with us. Buddy, I’ll let you go. You can go wherever you want, do whatever you like. From this point on, we go our separate ways, just don’t talk about what we’ve done, okay? You know the consequences of talking. I believe you won’t speak out of turn, will you?"

Jethro looked at Yang Yi, sighed, and then with a somber face said, "I’ll say you’re all dead. From now on, we go our separate ways, as if we never met."
