Chapter 902: Chapter 907: Moving to the Forefront

Everything was just a conjecture; the truth of the matter still needed to be proven.

"Jethro? Jethro? Am I teaming up with Jethro?"

Steve appeared very surprised, and Yang Yi casually waved his hand, saying, "Yes, Jethro."

Steve took a breath and said, "I understand now, you are Trident Mercenary Group, the one that teamed up with Jethro. Oh, shit, you really screwed Deyo over. Jethro indeed betrayed, uh, I mean no offense, I am just very surprised."

Yang Yi smiled and replied, "Yes, we are Trident. Everyone has different sides. Uh, I am sorry that I never told you before, but it’s not too late now."

After finishing, Yang Yi said to Kate, "Call Jethro. He can come over now. We have some things to discuss."

Kate made the call from the side while Yang Yi continued, "Now, there is a problem that needs solving. After it’s resolved, a substantial fortune will still be ours. What’s the problem? It’s how we can stay hidden behind Jethro and then secure this money."

Annastasia shook her head and said, "It’s no use, the Grey-cloaked People will discover us no matter what unless you take over those companies and don’t take a single penny, but what’s the point in that?"

"For a long time, we have never been able to touch the Grey-cloaked People. Why? Because we didn’t know where they were. But now, there is an opportunity. Why should we hide? Don’t you think this is a chance to show ourselves?"

Yang Yi pointed at Steve, his voice grave, "We have Steve, we have Jethro. We fear standing on the stage because we fear exposure. Yes, standing in the spotlight does expose us, but on the other hand, isn’t it also a great opportunity?"

Xiao Ran said softly, "Being exposed is also an opportunity?"

Yang Yi smiled and replied, "Yes, an opportunity to show ourselves, just like Mike said, to become famous, to have our own influence, to be a target for the Grey-cloaked People’s recruitment. What do you think?"

With a shrug, Yang Yi said solemnly, "Right now, both the cleaners and Grey-cloaked People fear exposing themselves. They give each other a window and dare not snatch Deyo’s inheritance. So, what about us? If the Organization of Water directly goes to snatch Deyo’s inheritance, we will become a target. Everyone, I was just thinking that standing in the middle of the stage would expose us and could be deadly, but what if we were strong enough?"

Yang Yi looked at a few people and asked, "What if we were strong enough?"

Annastasia slowly said, "The United States can attack Iraq at will, but they wouldn’t dare to attack Russia, even though the Soviet Union has collapsed, because Russia is strong enough."

Yang Yi smiled and said, "Exactly, think about it. We get Deyo’s inheritance, we get Deyo’s arms trading system, and then? Then we become a significant force in the underworld, don’t we? We are not just a small gang anymore; we will be a power. Let the Grey-cloaked People watch us rise. What about that?"

Zhang Yong said, "The Grey-cloaked People can take us out."

"Not necessarily. With the cleaners present, the Grey-cloaked People won’t make a move. Similarly, with the Grey-cloaked People present, the cleaners won’t make a move. If I had realized this at the headquarters of the Egertoni Company, I wouldn’t have run back here scared."

Hans said gravely, "I see what you mean. This is a perfect opportunity for us to rise, but right now, we are still too weak. If we snatch Deyo’s inheritance, the Grey-cloaked People can easily finish us off. The Grey-cloaked People don’t want to own and operate those companies for the long term, but they wouldn’t mind sending a team to kill us, as it wouldn’t expose them."

"Yes, so the targets are clear. Now we just need to carefully plan the specifics. First, we cannot use the Organization of Water’s name to snatch the inheritance. Why should Jethro and Steve come forward?ecause they are Deyo’s men, and it’s most appropriate for them to take over Deyo’s inheritance."

Yang Yi looked at Steve and said, "Do you want to be a CEO? No problem. I originally thought you couldn’t reveal your identity, so there would be many issues with you standing in the spotlight, but now it seems, what if you split the inheritance with Jethro? He handles the arms trade, and you handle legitimate business. Isn’t that perfect?"

Steve pressed his hands down and said, "Don’t get excited. Let’s clarify one thing first—Nicholas won’t sit by and let Jethro steal the money. I dare to show up, and Nicholas will kill me! And I don’t think Jethro can outcompete Nicholas."

Yang Yi nodded and said, "Yes, that’s the problem. If Nicholas is still around, then Jethro is not the only heir. But what if Nicholas dies?"

"You can kill him? First, Nicholas has good relations with the United States. Americans have even designated Nicholas as Deyo’s successor. Furthermore, Nicholas is very powerful. I absolutely don’t think Jethro is qualified to compete with him. You say Nicholas dies, yes, if he is dead, then certainly no problem, but Nicholas isn’t someone who just dies because we say so."

Yang Yi sighed and said, "Nicholas will die. We can make Americans accept Jethro as Deyo’s successor. We can also kill Nicholas. After we suddenly get over a hundred billion US dollars in cash, I think I will have enough standing to compete with Nicholas."

Annastasia said gravely, "We can target Nicholas now."

Yang Yi said loudly, "That’s what I’m thinking. We first kill Nicholas, let Jethro and Steve step forward, then turn back to take those companies into our hands. Since neither the Grey-cloaked People nor the cleaners want them, we will have time to slowly work this out."

Steve said gravely, "How will you make the United States recognize this? It’s crucial. You need to understand, Deyo’s arms trade can’t survive without the support of the United States. If the Americans don’t support Jethro, what’s the point even if we get Deyo’s arms trading channels?"

Yang Yi smiled and replied, "Don’t worry. If Nicholas is dead, the Americans can only choose Jethro. Even if we can’t kill Nicholas, we can make the Americans recognize Jethro. Right now, we need to discuss how to first build enough strength for Jethro."

Steve sighed and said, "We need to be quick, to stay ahead of Nicholas. First, we need to get Barbosa. Nicholas will seek Barbosa’s support, and Barbosa might decide to act independently. My suggestion is to first secure Barbosa’s support for Jethro. If you want to win, you at least need to keep Barbosa neutral between Nicholas and Jethro."
