Chapter 1373 - 1378: Rude
Details, what Yang Yi needed to discuss with Thomas were mainly some details, such as how to contact, whether cleaners needed to secretly arrange personnel near Yang Yi to prepare for emergencies, and how to handle situations once they arose.
Previously, cleaners wouldn’t discuss such details with Yang Yi much, they would let Yang Yi manage things freely, but now it’s different. Now, the struggle between cleaners and the Grey-cloaked People has entered a very critical stage, where one wrong move could lead to total defeat.
The Grey-cloaked People are still contemplating what role Yang Yi should play as a Western Angel, continuing along Aaron’s old path, hosting a significant portion of military force for the Grey-cloaked People. In essence, Yang Yi now has a chance to enter the upper echelons of the Grey-cloaked People; in fact, he has already touched the threshold and only needs a bit more time to become a very important member of them.
But on the cleaners’ side, there is no such plan at all.
Fundamentally, cleaners still regard Yang Yi as an undercover agent, an exposed yet still useful undercover agent. They have no long-term plans for Yang Yi. No matter what Yang Yi does, he ultimately just has the identity of a collaborator, at most plus a key client’s identity.
The comparison between the two sides is very obvious. From the current perspective, it seems the Grey-cloaked People side is more sincere and offers more benefits to Yang Yi.
To pull someone in, one always needs to give more benefits, but there’s also another possibility.
The Grey-cloaked People don’t know the time of the aliens’ arrival, so they’re still thinking about taking it slow. The struggle may last for many years, but cleaners know the time, so to them, nothing else is important. Resolving the Grey-cloaked People as quickly as possible is the only important thing.
From the attitudes of the two organizations, one can also discern many clues.
After Yang Yi and Thomas agreed on the details, quite a bit of time had passed.
