Chapter 765 - 770: Confirming Through Eye Contact
Yang Yi may deduce a conclusion with errors in the details, but overall, it should be fairly accurate.
All of this was Yarebin’s open strategy.
Everything Yarebin said and did was merely to buy time.
Annastasia was Brian’s emotional entanglement. As long as she remained unfound, Brian couldn’t possibly attack the Black Devil, and he didn’t even dare to show any hostility. However, once Annastasia was found, Brian could turn against them.
Yarebin needed time, and so he had to delay Brian’s discovery of Annastasia, but he couldn’t postpone it indefinitely.
At this time, Yarebin summoned Brian to come for a talk, but meeting face-to-face was secondary, the key was that he wanted to meet Anton.
Perhaps Yarebin had recognized Anton long ago, but why didn’t he acknowledge him at that moment? Instead, he chose to call Anton over afterwards, to perform some sort of ceremony, indicating that he formally accepted Anton into the Black Devil.
If Yang Yi were in the same situation, he would have chosen to recognize Anton when he himself was surrounded, then let Anton join the Black Devil as a means to extricate himself from the predicament.
But Yarebin was not Yang Yi. When he had better leverage, he showed no signs that he recognized Anton.
Now Yarebin has made Anton a true member of the Black Devil and has also invited Anton into their ranks. If Anton agrees, Yarebin certainly wouldn’t mind strengthening his forces, but if Anton refuses, Yarebin wouldn’t lose anything.
As long as Anton has some emotional ties to the Black Devil, he likely won’t take any hostile action against them. Keeping Anton in the Organization of Water could lessen the organization’s chances of becoming enemies with the Black Devil.
