Spy-x-War Showdown

Yang Yi thought about staying another night in Baghdad, making Aaron even more anxious, but as soon as it got dark, Aaron called Yang Yi.

"Tonight at 1:20, there’s a C-17 transport plane departing from Baghdad’s Al Asad Airbase to Miami in the United States. I’ve arranged someone at the airport to pick you up. If you can get to the airport and board the plane, you’ll definitely return safely!"

Yang Yi thought for a moment, then he whispered, "I’ll try."

Aaron didn’t say how Yang Yi should get to the airport, nor who would assist him. He just mentioned the time and the place, leaving everything else up to Yang Yi’s decision. This means Yang Yi could choose to go or not to go.

Returning to the United States to meet Aaron means the time for revealing everything has arrived. Unless Yang Yi wants to waste the efforts and sacrifices of the cleaners, he must hand over the items to the Grey-cloaked People. And after handing over the items, would Aaron still allow Yang Yi to access the core secrets of the Grey-cloaked People?

It’s hard to say, really hard to say. Although now Yang Yi’s competence is far stronger than before, and the Organization of Water is already large and powerful enough, whether the Grey-cloaked People are willing to truly accept Yang Yi remains a question.

The sky was already dark, and it was past eight o’clock. Yang Yi put down the phone and then asked Brian, "What should we do?"

Brian whispered, "I feel it’s a test. If you don’t go to the airport, then Aaron has reason to suspect you’re deliberately delaying. Regardless of your excuse, suspicion is suspicion. If you don’t want to be doubted, then you have to go."

Trust is a difficult thing to explain. After countless tests, it can still be lost over a small incident. Moreover, trust is intangible; even if you want to understand whether you’ve lost it, there’s no way to do so.

Yang Yi pondered for a moment, then he raised his head and said solemnly, "We go to the airport."
