Chapter 915: Volume 29, Sword Qi Long Pointer, - 9: New World
After much contemplation, Welch slowly shook his head with a grave expression, "No, I don’t think we need to tell him about this message."
The female priest seemed to have realized her superior’s decision and sighed slightly, "But if Komer finds out we knew about these situations in advance and didn’t inform him, I’m afraid our future cooperation might run into significant problems."
"There is certainly a considerable risk, but we have to look further ahead," Welch admitted with some regret. "Komer is a character with a firm will, and since he’s already consorting with the Dark Forces, it would be quite difficult to make him take a new path and abandon the Dark Forces. The reason we can still get along with him peacefully and even appear as allies is entirely due to our mutual need. In other words, at the moment, our mutual dependency outweighs other issues. But once this external pressure disappears, we might immediately become enemies. His current momentum has far exceeded our initial expectations, which is not a good sign for us."
The female priest also heard the hidden meaning in Welch’s words but just sighed without speaking.
"Just like how Komer dealt with the Romanov family, by maintaining a relative balance of exhaustion between Katya and Hoffman, he can reap the greatest benefits, and he did indeed achieve this. We need to do the same now, unite all parties in Nicosia against Komer, let the pressure Komer brings force the parties in Nicosia to unite, and let them continue their disputes. Only in this way can we survive in the cracks and gain more from Komer."
Welch appeared composed, and he was of course aware that Komer wasn’t a magnanimous person. Hiding things from an ally on such matters was undoubtedly a betrayal, but it was also an opportunity. Komer’s power had inflated too fiercely, from Caucasus to Homer and then to Poznan, with too short an interval between, almost dazzlingly completing his path of expansion, which also brought tremendous pressure on the Salvation Society working with him.
