A secret agent on a mission in the Middle East was recalled, which essentially indicates that Aaron was behind it. If it were Mathewson from the South America bureau, he wouldn't have that much pull.
It seems Aaron has already noticed him, sooner than Yang Yi had anticipated.
Now, it isn't just about having a fight with Ferguson; it's about Yang Yi's entire strategy.
Should he proactively display his strength to Aaron now?
The fight is almost about to start, yet Yang Yi is preoccupied with matters beyond the arena.
He checked his watch; it was already eight-forty, but Yang Yi still couldn't make up his mind. His current approach was to retreat as an advance, letting Aaron investigate everything about him. By the time Aaron discovers that he is the one who took advantage of the mutual caution between the Grey-cloaked People and the janitors to swallow Deyo Mather's legacy, Aaron would likely make his move.
