The dispute among the twelve Heavenly Stars had reached its climax. Not everyone agreed with Aries' plan, so Aries did not plan to reveal the entire plan from the beginning. However, now that things had reached this point, he had no choice but to reveal the entire plan.
After all, things had already happened. If he didn't explain himself, it would be unreasonable.
Especially Leo and a few other hot-tempered guys, they definitely couldn't sit still. Everyone knew that the Leo Star, Gary, adored Ellie. Now that Ellie was used as bait by the Aries Star, Gary would definitely demand an explanation from Peter.
Although the little girl that the other side cared about was already in their hands, Ellie had completely fallen. Although both sides hadn't met yet, they were evenly matched.
"Peter, you have to give us an explanation now! You planned this from the start. Don't you feel guilty for using Ellie like this? "Leo's eyes widened." You're the commander-in-chief. That's right, we all acknowledge and approve of it. This is an appointment given to you by Commander Douglas. We have to follow it unconditionally. But before you make any decisions, can you not treat us like fools? "
Aries knew that things would develop like this. There would definitely be people dissatisfied with his actions. But even if everyone opposed him, as long as it was a decision that was beneficial to the mission, he would still persist.
Peter knew very well that the reason Douglas made him the commander-in-chief was because of his personality. Only this kind of person was suitable to be a leader. He would do anything to achieve his goals.
As long as he could win this game of chess, no matter if you were a pawn or a cannon, you would be a pawn for the bigger picture! In the eyes of this kind of person, there was only the final victory. It didn't matter how dirty the process was.
This was also the reason why Aries wasn't liked by the other Twelve Heavenly Stars. Sometimes, the way he did things was too dirty. He would even use his own people.
For example, this time, he used Ellie.
When Ellie proposed her conditions, Aries knew that Ellie would definitely act on her own. He knew their personalities too well. At that time, no one believed that Peter would agree to Ellie's request. However, what Peter did shocked everyone. No one expected that he would agree to Ellie's condition!
Now, everyone suddenly realized that Peter had another purpose. He agreed to Ellie's request because he wanted to use Ellie as a chess piece in his game of chess, and Ellie was the chess piece that would be abandoned! That was why he agreed so readily.
Human nature was definitely the most terrifying thing. Human nature was hard to understand and hard to guess. Especially when it was reflected at the critical moment, the horror of human nature would be displayed incisively and vividly. Obviously, Peter was a person who could bring out the evilness of human nature to the fullest.
From the very beginning, he was certain that Ellie had her own plans. She was eager to prove herself in front of Douglas, in front of the Twelve Stars, and even more so in front of the CIA, she wanted to prove her personal strength.
Therefore, Peter concluded that Ellie would deal with Xu Yun herself. Before they came out, Douglas had said many times that Xu Yun was definitely not an easy person to deal with.
Peter did not admit that he was overestimating the enemy's morale and diminishing his own prestige. Xu Yun would definitely be able to see through some of their little tricks.
Ellie's little tricks would definitely be exposed by Xu Yun, and Xu Yun would definitely take her down. At that time, even the most confident person would transfer their most capable assistant to their side in order to have a 100% success rate. Double insurance was the safest.
In this way, as long as Ellie came into contact with Xu Yun, Xu Yun would definitely call for his most powerful helpers. At that time, those people around Xu Yun would be at their weakest, and it would be advantageous for them to do things that would benefit them.
At the very beginning, Peter had conducted a very detailed investigation on Xu Yun. He had investigated everyone around Xu Yun, so Peter knew very well what Xu Yun cared about the most and who he cared about the most.
And the easiest target for them to make a move on was definitely the young Guoguo. Children were the most vulnerable to threats and the easiest to make Xu Yun worry. Unlike adults who would say things like "don't worry about me," children would only say things like "don't worry about me," children would only say that they were afraid and wanted to be hugged and saved.
The main reason was that Peter's ultimate goal was still Kevin Mathew. Capturing ten hostages was the same as capturing one. Of course, it was easier to control a child. He had a child that Xu Yun cared about the most in his hands, so he was not worried that Xu Yun would dare to do anything to Ellie.
"Don't worry, Ellie will be fine. Xu Yun will definitely not dare to act rashly. " Peter said calmly, "As long as this child is in our hands, Xu Yun will have some scruples. This child is very important to him. I believe that you have all seen the information that I have investigated before. So don't worry, everything is under my control. There won't be any mistakes. "
"I'm afraid that's just your wishful thinking! Haven't you seen a movie called 'The Top Ten Tortures of the Qing Dynasty'? "Gary was still glaring angrily," The Hua Xia people's torture methods are definitely not weaker than ours! If anything happens to Ellie … Humph … You see what I … You see what Officer Douglas will do to you! "
Peter glanced at Gary coldly. Gary had made a slip of the tongue and almost said that he would be punished by Peter. "I believe that you know better than anyone else what kind of person Officer Douglas is. As long as we can achieve the set goal and complete the task that we need to complete, any price is worth it! Think carefully about what position we are in! For the country, any sacrifice is necessary! Do you understand?! "
This was the reason why Peter could be the leader. This was the reason why Douglas trusted Peter. He would do anything for the country, even if it meant sacrificing himself! Not to mention sacrificing the other members.
The matter of Xu Yun taking away Kevin Mathew was too important to the upper echelons of the United States government, especially the military. The Twelve Heavenly Stars were the trump card of the CIA. There was no reason or excuse for them to fail this mission!
"Then what do you think our next step should be?" Scorpio, who always liked to play dirty, showed a cruel smile. "Use this child in exchange for him? Hahaha … If it's a one for one exchange, this child can only be exchanged for Ellie. If we want to use this child to exchange for Kevin Mathew, what about Ellie? "
"One for two," Peter said. "Believe me, this child is especially important to Yan Long and Xu Yun. So, even if it's a one for two exchange, he will definitely do it."
"Don't be so idealistic, okay? One for two? "Leo snorted." Do you think they will do such a loss-making trade?! This child is important to them, but is Kevin Mathew not important to us?! What if they use Kevin Mathew in exchange for one?! Then do you want to exchange? "
Aries Peter's face darkened, but his answer was quite firm. "Yes!"
"What about Ellie? Are we going to let them do whatever they want with her? "Gary roared." Peter, have you never treated our lives as your own? We are indeed your subordinates, but we are not pawns that you can throw away whenever you want, right?! "
"The day you joined the CIA, you should have known that you would be sacrificing your life for the country at any time! You could face death at any time! These are all necessary conditions for you to join the CIA! " Aries was also angry. "Gary, I'm warning you for the last time. Don't bring your personal feelings into the mission! In the mission, everyone here, including me, has the possibility of sacrificing themselves to complete the mission. Whether you accept it or not, this is the truth! "
"But I don't agree with your way of doing things! Even if Ellie has to choose to sacrifice herself, she should make the choice herself! Instead of passively being pushed out by you! "
Peter's body suddenly exploded with anger. "I am your commander-in-chief. Officer Douglas has given me orders. If anyone disobeys, kill without mercy! Gary, don't force me. "
"But that's Ellie!" Leo clenched his fists.
