Spy-x-War Showdown

Aaron really went all out for that cross this time.

Absolutely went all out.

This time, Aaron did something beyond his authority, because mobilizing a military aircraft is definitely not something Aaron can decide alone. Therefore, Aaron had to have a very big reason and excuse, and through a connection outside the military, press the Pentagon to get the aircraft Yang Yi requested.

Doing it once would be fine, but he did it twice in a row, and it’s the kind of operation that can’t be hidden.

So Aaron must have an explanation for Congress, explaining what reason he had to use an AC-130 to bomb Mosul and then directly fly a transport plane from Baghdad to the United States.

The most crucial point is that Baghdadi also died, right there in Mosul, and it was closely related to this AC-130.

But this has nothing to do with Yang Yi, right?

In other words, Yang Yi doesn’t need to care about Aaron’s life or death because he now has the biggest bargaining chip.

The cross is extremely important to the Grey-cloaked People, and it seems to be equally important to the Cleaners. Therefore, just having the cross is enough to prove Yang Yi’s loyalty to the Grey-cloaked People. Even if it cannot prove Yang Yi’s loyalty to the Convention, it certainly proves he isn’t a Cleaner undercover.

Hence, Yang Yi now has leverage, and he can do as he pleases.
