Chapter 620 - 628: They Should Be Afraid of Us
Jethro was still discussing with Ferdinand how to take down Beasley when they tried to contact him, only to find that Beasley was unreachable.
What happened later turned out to be very exciting, as Jethro and Ferdinand discovered that a firefight that took place in Kyiv was actually where Beasley had been killed.
This threw everything into chaos.
Beasley, who was supposed to arrive in Kyiv in three days, was already there a few days earlier, and as Jethro continued his investigation, he found out that Beasley had even purchased a batch of arms and was planning to sell another batch.
Neither Beasley nor Nicholas should have been involved in the Ukrainian arms market. Deyo had sent Beasley to fight, not to do business.
The phrase "internal conflicts, each harboring their own motives" couldn’t describe Deyo’s situation more fittingly.
As an onlooker, Yang Yi felt that Deyo hadn’t lost yet, not knowing whether it was because he had strong support, or because Big Ivan’s side was just too incompetent.
Speaking of which, the support Deyo had was indeed substantial, since the United States, eager to take down Big Ivan, was even more anxious than Deyo himself.
Even if Deyo did nothing, he wouldn’t have to worry about losing to Big Ivan because, once the United States made its move, it was unlikely that Big Ivan would survive, at least in the eyes of the vast majority.
If Deyo hadn’t been set on controlling the arms stockpile of Ukraine, he wouldn’t have needed to send anyone there at all. His plan was to let the Americans confront Big Ivan head-on while he picked up the spoils from behind—that’s what it was all about.
Yang Yi felt that Jethro was brewing a major operation again.
