Gentlemen sever ties without harsh words. Regardless of other matters, at least Jethro and Yang Yi parted ways without uttering anything too unpleasant, staying in line with the decorum of gentlemen.
Of course, Jethro understood the necessity of bowing his head under someone else's roof. Alone and unsupported, turning hostile was a death wish. What else could Jethro do?
Yang Yi also knew that keeping Jethro was like keeping a hidden danger, or rather a time bomb. If being deceived twice had already made Jethro hate him to the bone, this time bomb might blow up any moment.
But Yang Yi hadn't become heartless enough to eliminate the risk when he knew it was there.
Brian and Anton certainly could have taken action, but Yang Yi was the one who ultimately called the shots in the Organization of Water.
The figure of Jethro walking away looked very lonely. Yang Yi couldn't help but sigh and said, "I still can't bring myself to be ruthless."
