Spy-x-War Showdown

Anton and the other two left, whether they can catch the tail of the Black Devil depends on them now.

Catching the tail of the Black Devil is a prerequisite for success, but to actually accomplish the mission objectives, it ultimately depends on Yang Yi and his team.

Finding the enemy’s traces is a good start. In most cases, you could say you’ve already succeeded by half, but this principle does not quite apply to the Black Devil, because even if you find the Black Devil, if you can’t overpower them in a direct confrontation, it’s like delivering your head on a platter from a thousand miles away.

Yang Yi remembered that black hood again, there was no helping it, it was an inherent fear, a lingering shadow.

"If Anton and his team can find the Black Devil, um... and then find Big Ivan, how should we act?"

Yang Yi finally brought up the most difficult issue.

Jethro, without any hesitation, said, "Heavy firepower, we’ve already agreed on that, right? Now we can mobilize tanks, even artillery if needed. I’m in charge here and as long as there is solid evidence of Big Ivan’s whereabouts, no, even if it just proves that Big Ivan’s subordinates are there, I can get the CIA to work with us. As for the military, forget it, they’re unreliable."

First, Jethro was unaware of Yang Yi and his team’s true objectives; the Organization of Water didn’t care about eliminating Big Ivan, but, of course, this wouldn’t be something to discuss with Jethro.

Secondly, Jethro truly didn’t understand the power of the Black Devil. Mobilize heavy weapons? Unless they bomb from beyond the line of sight, aside from whether that would be successful, direct bombing would turn the Black Devil to ashes and then where would Brian find the one haunting his dreams?
