Amid the talk, it was inevitable that they would choke on their words, and as a bodyguard, Yang Yi naturally had no right to butt in. But since Ferdinand was not allowing Jethro to leave, as Jethro's bodyguard, Yang Yi had to make a stand.
Yang Yi positioned himself in front of Jethro and gazed at Ferdinand, his hand on the grip of his gun.
Ferdinand looked coldly at Yang Yi and, although he made no gesture, his group of subordinates immediately tightened the circle around them considerably.
After a moment of silence, Jethro said in a deep voice, "I can stay."
Upon hearing Jethro's words, Yang Yi immediately stepped to the side and then continued to stand by Jethro's side.
"I can stay, but I don't have manpower to commit to the fight against Big Ivan," Jethro said. "They are my bodyguards, responsible only for my safety. I can't direct them to do anything beyond protecting me."
