If he and Danil, Vladimir were to stab him in the back, they would have directly had someone kill him instead of dealing with some goods and people.
What's the difference between that and exposing themselves?
Would Pavel not know?
He wouldn't even bother making up a plausible reason to get rid of them.
Aleksey felt deeply desperate.
However, he thought that since Pavel, due to the concerns of other branches, wouldn't kill all three of them at once, there was still a chance for him.
Danil and Vladimir, standing nearby, soon realized that something was amiss.
Danil quickly spoke up, "Leader, shouldn't we investigate this matter further? There is no evidence showing that we're involved in this affair. If you proceed like this, it may be against the rules."
These words "no evidence" truly infuriated Pavel.
He walked up and kicked Danil, startling both Aleksey and Vladimir.
