Does Grasse know how to play his cards?
Grasse certainly does. If he didn't, he wouldn't have made it to where he is now.
Although Grasse hasn't officially joined the Garden Federation, he's an old friend of Gao Yi. When something comes up, you certainly can't forget your old friends.
"Hey, Grasse, there's something I need to tell you. The Pentagon has a mole. The CIA has a handle on it. Now, the CIA is willing to hand the mole over to you, but… you know how these things go."
Grasse was silent at first, stunned by the news, but he quickly responded in a low voice, "Is it important?"
"Of course, it's important. Otherwise, I wouldn't go out of my way to tell you. The CIA is willing to negotiate now. It depends on whether you can show enough sincerity."
Grasse's initial reaction was hesitation, and then he said softly, "But this isn't just about money, is it?"
