However, Amber was different from Ted. He had almost written the words "I want to betray" on his face. If Smith decided to kill Amber, not only would the people in the mercenary group not panic because of it, but Smith's action could also serve as a warning to others.
Smith did say that to Joshua in person.
What Ted did was not betrayal. Even from an outsider's point of view, Joshua could not feel that he wanted to betray Smith.
Smith couldn't do anything to Ted, so if Smith really wanted to deal with the two of them, he should send Ted to Black Eagle Gang.
In this way, even if Ted died in the selection process, Smith would not be blamed.
This also seemed very reasonable...
But why did Smith choose Amber?
He chose to let Amber go to Black Eagle Gang.
In Joshua's opinion, this was a stupid idea.
