Spy-x-War Showdown

Yang Yi was gambling with his life.

And now, he’d won the bet.

Of course, it wasn’t purely a gamble—it was based on Yang Yi’s fundamental judgment of Aaron’s psyche.

First of all, Yang Yi held significant value. Whether as someone prepared to betray the Cleaners or as a Cleaner exposed by Aaron, his worth was undeniably high.

Additionally, Bonnie was also immensely valuable. For Aaron to claim he had no interest in Bonnie? That possibility seemed highly unlikely.

So Yang Yi dared to make a gamble. What was he betting on? He wagered that Aaron was again testing him—testing his character.

Sometimes, flaws in one’s character aren’t a bad thing.

Take, for instance, a spy. A spy isn’t supposed to be influenced by emotions. When faced with multiple choices, they should pick the option that best serves the mission. Personal feelings are meant to be suppressed, discarded.

But here’s the problem: humans have emotions. Some people are selfish, prioritizing their own interests, willing to kill anyone just to survive—that’s the choice most people would make.

So who makes a better spy? A robot devoid of any emotion? Or someone rich with feelings, vulnerable enough to make wrong decisions because of them?

Theoretically, a robot is more suitable. Yet throughout world history, those legendary spies have consistently been individuals driven by fierce passions and unshakable convictions—people willing to sacrifice everything for their homeland.
