The hypnotist could see what Billy was thinking and the fleeting killing intent in his eyes, so he quickly spoke up to clarify his position.
"Mr. Billy, as you put it, even though I value talent, I wouldn't dare to compete with you for your people. Besides, we've always had a friendly, cooperative relationship.
“I'm counting on you to rise to the top and unify all the major organizations worldwide. With you leading the way, I'll enjoy the benefits with my brothers!"
At this moment, Billy felt that the hypnotist knew too much, and he was worried that he might covet the talent they had struggled to find for their organization. If he didn't speak up like this, it might be difficult for him to leave here alive.
However, the hypnotist's words struck a chord with Billy and softened him.
"You're right. We've always had a friendly, cooperative relationship, and I don't want us to fall out. After all, there will be many places where I can use your organization's help in the future. So, before anything unpleasant happens between us, we should avoid it.
“Otherwise, you might not have a place when I successfully unify all the global organizations!"
This statement was delivered in a half-joking, half-serious manner. The hypnotist's earlier flattering words also helped give him such a good attitude.
The hypnotist understood Billy's meaning and nodded repeatedly.
"Yes, yes, Mr. Billy, I understand. I swear here that I will never covet the talents you value. You can rest assured."
"Hmm." Billy nodded in satisfaction. "You're a smart person. I don't want to say much more to you. You should understand for yourself."
The hypnotist nodded repeatedly.
"Hmm." Billy waved his hand. "You can go now. You're no longer needed here."
Feeling relieved that Billy had told him to leave, the hypnotist sighed.
