Chapter 446 - 434: Unexpected Gains
Jethro wanted chaos to erupt in Ukraine to hasten the current government’s fall, but he certainly didn’t wish for an internal war in Ukraine.
It was only with Arseniy’s people in power that Jethro had a chance to wrestle the large Ukrainian arms stockpile from Big Ivan, but if internal war broke out, the outcome of who would lose and who would win was uncertain.
That was why Jethro was so furious, Arseniy’s crew clearly had the opportunity for a peaceful resolution, but who knows whose terrible idea it was to order the Golden Eagle Troops to kneel and apologize, which was a vicious stab at the already tense emotions of the Eastern Ukrainians.
The Golden Eagle Troops were numerically few, and their role in the entire Ukrainian chaos was limited, but forcing the Golden Eagle Troops to kneel was an event with a significant symbolic impact, pushing the situation towards a battle.
Jethro threw a hysterical fit but ultimately, he could only helplessly accept reality.
At first, Jethro was stomping and insisting on ferreting out whoever was causing trouble behind the scenes, but after calming down, he completely stopped mentioning it.
What would it matter if he could drag the person out, what if he knew who wanted to stir up an internal war in Ukraine, Jethro was just an arms dealer. He could help Arseniy influence the situation, but after all, he was only doing Arseniy’s dirty work. In plain terms, he was still just a manifestation of Arseniy’s will, so there was nothing he could do besides accepting reality.
After venting his anger, Jethro sat slumped in his chair for a long time. Then, adjusting his emotion, he stood up as if nothing had happened. After tidying up his clothes slightly, he said in a deep voice, "Sorry, you all continue eating, I have some matters to take care of."
After Jethro left, Kate pushed her plate aside and said in a low voice, "I’m full. I’m going to rest."
Kate too left the dining room. Yang Yi gave a wry smile and said softly to Boyata not far from him, "Shouldn’t you go and check on him?"
Boyata, in his thirties and looking quite refined, as Jethro’s assistant, he was certainly trusted deeply by Jethro.
