Chapter 1097 - 1102: Surround Them
An utterly unexpected answer left Yang Yi completely dumbfounded.
Aaron isn’t even bothering to hide it anymore, but why would he answer the call? If he truly wanted to kill Yang Yi, why go through the trouble when putting a bomb in his car would have been more straightforward?
"It seems the news of your arrival in Brazil has been leaked, I’m sorry."
Finally, Aaron spoke again, plunging Yang Yi into deeper confusion.
"This was a test, a test to see whether someone would choose loyalty to duty or money. It appears they chose the former. I’m sorry things were urgent, and I didn’t send the right people, but now that someone has made their choice, you might as well go for it."
Yang Yi said nothing, while Aaron continued indifferently: "Let’s see what you’re capable of."
The call ended.
Now it’s clear, Aaron did this on purpose. But he isn’t trying to kill Yang Yi—he’s using Yang Yi as bait, as a guinea pig to test the loyalty of someone under his command. As for Yang Yi’s life or death, it doesn’t seem to be of much concern to him.
Of course, Aaron could also take this opportunity to assess Yang Yi’s abilities. If Yang Yi dies, then so be it, but if Yang Yi can survive under these circumstances and even manage to kill Nicholas, then it would show whether Yang Yi’s worth lies in his capabilities or his relationships.
In any case, Yang Yi has to reassess his own value in Aaron’s eyes.
Yang Yi always thought he was important, but now it seems if he dies, he won’t even be considered a sacrifice, just a pawn that can be disposed of at any time.
