Chapter 501 - 480: Going All In
The development of the situation was faster and more direct than Gao Yi had anticipated.
A big detour tactic turned out to be a direct intrusion into the enemy’s lair.
Such excessively fortuitous circumstances instead arouse caution.
Gao Yi would certainly need to discuss with Xinfeng and the others; Sherkin must be kept out of the loop, as not everything could be shared with him. In this way, it even became somewhat inconvenient for Sherkin to have moved into the same hotel as Gao Yi for the sake of convenience.
"All our plans must be brought forward, gentlemen, I don’t even know why Alexander is doing this."
Xinfeng grinned slightly, "It’s quite simple, what’s there to ponder? Alexander wants to grab whatever chips he can before he’s completely ousted from the center of power. Whether he wants to make a deal with you or do you a favor, he needs to act quickly."
Dani also nodded, "A character like Alexander, once out of the power center, can’t come back. He might be transferred at any moment, so if he wants to do something, he has to act swiftly."
Xinfeng, full of confidence, continued, "I think he might let you meet Yuri today. As long as he remains Nikolai’s Black Gloves, he’s almost like Nikolai himself taking action, even more convenient than if Nikolai were to do it himself. The operation in Constantinople could start and end with incredible speed. It must be that Alexander has issued a fake order in Nikolai’s name."
Gao Yi suddenly realized.
It wasn’t that he was too slow to react, but many twists and turns here were beyond Gao Yi’s understanding; he naturally could not think of things he knew nothing about.
