Chapter 578 - 586: The End Doesn’t Fall Off
Deyo really was driven mad by rage, actually willing to raise a tiger despite the danger, all to avenge his son.
However, Yang Yi still couldn’t quite understand why that person named Nicholas could threaten Jethro.
"So how much of a threat is Nicholas to you?"
Jethro now had no choice but to be honest because if Yang Yi didn’t grasp the seriousness of the situation, he might not be able to provide him with adequate protection.
Therefore, Jethro was now answering any question thrown his way.
"I’m worried that Nicholas will kill me. He’ll certainly want to kill me, for a simple reason. Once I’m dead, Nicholas would have no more rivals. He could then focus on dealing with Big Ivan in Ukraine without worrying about me as a competitor posing any threat to him. But most importantly..."
He paused, then Jethro said in a grave voice, "Deyo is extremely angry, but he hasn’t completely lost his reason. He wants revenge for his son and also wants Ukraine. I’ve been to Ukraine before, am relatively familiar with the situation there, and most importantly, I’ve always been responsible for procurement and currently don’t have an outlet for my goods. So, if I win in this competition, I won’t pose any threat to Deyo. Thus, Deyo will definitely tilt resources in my favor, give me more money, give me more people. But if I die, then Deyo can only rely on Nicholas, which means Nicholas would get all the resources."
With a soft sigh, Yang Yi nodded and said, "I understand now. So you’re worried that Nicholas will kill you, then he can enjoy all the resources alone. And as long as he can defeat Big Ivan in Ukraine, he will become the new generation arms tycoon, and might even break away from Deyo to go it alone."
With a bitter smile, Jethro said, "Yes, that’s why I say Deyo’s gone crazy. He’s really been driven to the brink. It’s not hard to understand, actually. He now has more money than he can ever spend, and he’s getting old—only left with enjoying life. But now, his son is dead, so for him, there is no price too high to pay."
Yang Yi smiled bitterly, "You’re in need of bodyguards, and a lot of them at that, buddy. It looks like just a few of us won’t be enough."
In a serious tone, Jethro said, "I could have refused, the wound still not being healed is the perfect excuse, but do you know why I decided to come despite knowing the risks? Because I can’t miss this opportunity. Yes, if Nicholas knew where I am now, he’d definitely send someone to finish me off. That’s why I need your protection. Moreover, I need to meet with Deyo as soon as possible. Only after meeting him can I obtain the resources to fight for him; I’d have money and men. But if I can’t meet him, then what’s the point, everything would be over."
Suppressing his inner excitement, Yang Yi said in a very calm tone, "Then when can you meet with Deyo? He’s in Paris, isn’t he?"
