To stay alive, Lendel did everything he could.
He surrendered, killed Philip, and had Jansen videotape the murder to deliver the leverage into Gao Yang's hands, then he tried to carve out a useful role for himself, even throwing out diamonds worth four million US dollars as his capital for survival.
Coming up with a plan in just a few minutes or even seconds, and unhesitatingly killing a companion—Lendel was quite a character indeed.
Upon reflection, Gao Yang felt that if he had been in a team with Philip, a pig of a teammate, he would have made the same choice as Lendel, even if he couldn't save his own life in the end, he would still have killed Philip to vent his anger.
Gao Yang began to appreciate Lendel somewhat. He waved his hand and said, "Tell me your plan."
