The words were straightforward, but they were the truth.
After mulling it over and realizing there was no room for argument, Gao Guang could only nod and say, "That's right."
Tom nodded, "With that settled, our first step is to lure Kuzsayev out, then let him choose for himself. However, we need to give Kuzsayev a way out, present him with different options, making him feel that betraying his employer is justified as revenge, not treachery."
Gao Guang thought for a moment, then nodded, "It's a little embarrassing and will be hard to face when the time comes, but it seems like the only way."
Gao Guang wasn't a stickler for tradition, a bit of flexibility was also viable.
Tom immediately said, "Then call Kuzsayev, think of a reason that makes him feel like he owes you a favor and not that he's being used by you. He should feel guilty towards you rather than disappointed. Right now we're just shifting his focus, not actually deceiving him, so you don't need to feel guilty."
