Mezanger, the head of the Black Sea group, had already noticed Joey's strength in the Red Widow team.
Just before Joey came to him, the two of them had talked about similar things in private.
There was a time when he made fun of him. Of course, he wanted to poach Joey to his own Black Sea group,
"You said you have the ability but live with a narrow-minded woman. I feel sorry for you."
"If you can come to me, I can guarantee that you will get more than what you got from the Red Widow."
At that time, the reason why Joey didn't make this decision to quit the job was that he thought that the Red Widow would listen to him anyway.
Any of his ideas and schemes were echoed and approved by the Red Widow.
He was afraid that the two of them would quarrel and break up in discord in less than two and a half days since they came to the place where Mezanger had his way.
With the previous interaction, when Watson mentioned this matter, Joey was so confident.
