Chapter 899 - 904: On the Brink of the Abyss
"Now, the only advantage Yang Yi thought he had — which wasn’t really an advantage — was that the Grey-cloaked People did not know about their animosity toward them.
It might sound a bit convoluted, but the idea was quite clear.
The Grey-cloaked People should have already grasped the relationship between Deyo and Egertoni Company, and after Deyo died, they intended to acquire Deyo’s inheritance, possessing the capability to do so.
Then, the Grey-cloaked People should be aware of Steve’s role and importance.
What would happen next? The Grey-cloaked People could set an ambush at the Egertoni Company, lying in wait just like hunting rabbits. Anyone coming to take over the Egertoni Company would certainly relate to Steve, and then they could find him.
But with that in mind, why would the Grey-cloaked People contact Wayne Rushford first?
Was it to expose themselves intentionally?
Especially since the Grey-cloaked People sent two individuals, both dressed in grey suits?
To expose themselves on purpose, yet not revealing their true identities since it was just two men in grey suits who didn’t claim to be Grey-cloaked People.
The Grey-cloaked People got their name because when they needed to reveal their identity in certain situations, they used grey suits as their inconspicuous uniform, much like how police wear uniforms, and soldiers wear military outfits. But the Grey-cloaked People’s attire left room for speculation yet couldn’t really connect them directly to the organization, because too many people wore grey suits.
Yang Yi developed a headache from all this pondering.
