The inhumane ordeal Shadow and others faced after capture, coupled with the heavy blow to Ghost Hand's brigade, ignited a fire within Luo Zheng. He couldn't return without avenging this grudge. As for Jackson, they had collaborated closely so far, successfully delivering a severe blow to the enemy. Whether they would continue working together would be up to Jackson.
Jackson was acutely aware of the current situation. The major military forces of the terrorists had been nearly eliminated, and now was the time to reap the fruits of victory. Leaving at this moment would be disadvantageous. Staying and continuing to strike the terrorists would allow him to gain sufficient political capital and military achievements, not only benefiting him but also aiding his supporter, the President. Such a great opportunity couldn't be missed, and he said with determination, "I'll stay."
