Chapter 213 The Fight Between the Sandpiper and the Clam (2/2)

You have unlocked the Alumera Family. Current relationship: Respect (3000/6000) - [Partner of Xiao Faction].
_____________________
The starting relationship is 'respect'. Seems like Xiao Jin gave in. Han Xiao was very satisfied.
He did not threaten Xiao Jin out of nowhere. The deduction earlier was made from his speculation through the pieces of evidence. Firstly, Xiao Jin's actions were all very goal oriented and connected with each other, and these actions all brought him a benefit, which was very suspicious. Secondly, [The Real Killer] was a puzzle mission, but Xiao Jin found Su Dinghua straightaway. Thus, the mission had been completed too easily, which made him feel that Xiao Jin knew who the killer was all along.
If Xiao Jin knew that Su Dinghua was going to assassinate Darryl from the start and did not do anything about it, then the character that Xiao Jin played was neither the real killer nor the mastermind, but someone who waited for the opportunity to take on the position of the leader.
Han Xiao had already thought of this when Xiao Jin came to look for his help, and he had planned this back then when he agreed to help.
He acted like he did not know and let Xiao Jin use him to increase his rank, but at the same time, Xiao Jin had to rely on him to do so. Therefore, Han Xiao turned around and threatened Xiao Jin because, unless Xiao Jin wanted to give up his position as the leader, he had to listen to him and almost become his puppet.
From Xiao Jin's actions, he was an ambitious guy who knew how to analysis his situation. The chance of him compromising was more than eighty percent. He definitely could not let go of the leader's position that he had worked so hard to get.
Furthermore, Raylen was the mastermind who framed him, and there was no way Han Xiao was going to let them have an easy time. Therefore, he had ordered Alumera to clash with them without considering the costs for them. The people of Raylen would definitely not expect Alumera to counter-attack so strongly; it went the exact opposite way that they wanted it to go, and they had brought fire to themselves.
This way, Han Xiao could take revenge on Raylen without getting blood on his blades, and he did not even have to do anything.
It was easier to fight a large organization with a large organization.
During what happened in Alumera, Han Xiao had been watching like a bystander and only showed his teeth in the end.
The fight between a sandpiper and a clam benefitted the fisherman in the end!
Of course, there was a possibility that his guess was wrong. Xiao Jin might not actually have been someone who knew all along and acted on the opportunities that surfaced.
However, this was not important at all. It was as he had said before.
I don't need evidence. If I think it's true, then it is!
It must be!
Xiao Jin did not have a choice.
I should complete the mission. Han Xiao opened the interface.
