This is why Wang Ye had told Gavriil, without any concealment, that he was planning to get rid of Tinov.
That's because Wang Ye was not afraid at all of being caught by Gavriil and The Emperor, nor was he afraid of them knowing about it.
Wang Ye was clear that, if The Emperor were really going to act against him, it wouldn't matter whether he had any potential source of blackmail in his hands or not!
The Emperor could find "ten thousand" excuses...
But as long as he maintained a good relationship with The Emperor, leading The Emperor to believe his value, no matter how many "bad things" he had done, The Emperor would turn a blind eye, even providing assistance later.
It's still the same old saying, this is Russia, where survival of the fittest is understood better by The Emperor and others than by him!
"Don't worry, Uncle Gavriil, my men under the Wagner Security Company are quite professionals. They handle tasks neatly and cleanly," Wang Ye said with a laugh.
