Spy-x-War Showdown

What might have been a trivial matter for Jethro was, for Yang Yi, something he had long dreamed of.

With just these few sentences, if Yang Yi decided to sell them, heaven knows how much money he could fetch. What was this? This was intelligence, and intelligence that could be sold for money.

To save his own skin, Jethro had to tell Yang Yi the truth, while Yang Yi was considering how to extract even more from Jethro.

"Has Nicholas become so formidable? I have a question, do you think Nicholas might consider replacing Deyo?"

Yang Yi’s question was reasonable. Since Nicholas was so formidable, even if he didn’t have supply sources, it shouldn’t be a big problem. To kill Deyo and take his place, that would be quite normal.

Jethro shook his head and said, "No, because Deyo has resources that Nicholas can’t replace. Nicholas has lost control now, but he doesn’t have the power to replace Deyo, and he wouldn’t dare to, at least not for now."

Jethro didn’t spell out what resources Deyo had. He hadn’t reached the point where he was willing to reveal everything, nor did he explain why Nicholas didn’t dare challenge Deyo’s status. Presumably, Deyo still had some ace up his sleeve. But as to what that ace was, unless Jethro was ready to betray Deyo right then, he certainly couldn’t reveal it.

With a sigh, Jethro said helplessly, "But the problem now is that Deyo can’t get rid of Nicholas. Even if Nicholas wants to kill me, he will stop him, but once Nicholas creates a fait accompli, then Deyo can only acquiesce."

Although Jethro had no intention of betraying Deyo, there was still discernible dissatisfaction with Deyo in his tone.
