Ink Thorn was strongly inclined to rebel.
If Winter were in Lin Yuan's place, he would not have given Ink Thorn any chances and would have killed him immediately.
However, doing so would only cause the problem of inciting infighting among the Dark Pufferfish as the main members fought over becoming the new leader.

Lin Yuan frowned at Ink Thorn and paused mid-knocking on the throne's armrest. The continuous thudding stopped.
