Actually, Robinson William didn’t want such thoughts to emerge in his mind. After that incident was established, Ye Liuyun’s reputation onboard had become notorious, just like White Fang in Naruto, who was wrongly accused.

However, unlike White Fang who committed suicide to prove his innocence, Ye Liuyun’s bottom line was more flexible, so even though his reputation on the ship was not good, and he was ostracized from all sides, the option of suicide would definitely not appear in his mind.

In the beginning, it was Ye Liuyun who had acquired and modified this ship. Although there was considerable financial support from Pengcheng during the building process, the original captain was undoubtedly Ye Liuyun.

Therefore, no matter what, after the flood arrived, everyone owes their safe and stable refuge to Ye Liuyun’s efforts.

In fact, the current leaders originally had a good relationship with the Taylor family, and they were among those who left Pengcheng with the Taylor family to establish the Survivor Camp in Saxon County, which eventually expanded step by step into a Survivor base.

If it were not for such a deep friendship, they wouldn’t have provided so much support to Ye Liuyun just for some information he shared.

After all, to put it unpleasantly, at the beginning, Ye Liuyun had just transmitted a message. After hearing this message, they could have completely disregarded Ye Liuyun and built their own ships in Saxon County.

It was also because they had such a deep relationship with the Taylor family that they decided to fund Ye Liuyun’s shipbuilding after he sent back the message.

To speak with the benefit of hindsight, if the flood hadn’t arrived as anticipated and Ye Liuyun wasted the resources they provided, the most they would have done was to verbally reprimand Ye Liuyun and then make sarcastic remarks about Master Ye, not taking any excessive actions.

This time, they took a hard stance against Ye Liuyun; frankly, it was also because they disliked Ye Liuyun’s collusion with outsiders that damaged their interests.

If Ye Liuyun had not conspired with outsiders but sought cooperation within their own group, even if this matter was exposed and failed just like now, Ye Liuyun would not have fallen so far.

In their eyes, internal strife within their own people, as long as not too excessive, no matter who won or lost, the ’meat’ was still in the ’pot’, meaning ultimately there was no significant loss to their collective interests, and they could even use the opportunity to train the younger generation.

However, Ye Liuyun’s action of joining forces with outsiders was considered by those in power as betrayal against their collective, so he received such severe suppression after the failure.

You have to know that back in Saxon County, when other family juniors committed mistakes, even with significant errors, they would only punish the person who erred, not implicate the entire family. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

When Ye Liuyun was making the plan, he did not inform Master Ye and Robinson William, so at that time, these two only suspected that Ye Liuyun was planning something significant, without knowing that Ye Liuyun had crossed the line of unspoken rules.

By the time they learned the whole story, they had already roughly anticipated what would happen next.

So whether it was Master Ye or Robinson William, when they were notified of their retirements or reassignments, neither of them resisted but serenely accepted the outcome.

Of course, acceptance is one thing, but agreement is another. If it weren’t for the need to maintain their day-to-day living conditions, Robinson William might have resigned from his now marginalized position long ago.

Exactly because of this, when Dong Tianyu suggested that they leave together, Robinson William hesitated briefly before agreeing.

The hesitation was not about wanting to leave, but about how they could leave with the smallest price to pay.

No matter how you look at it, having fallen from being part of the management to their current situation, they also served as a lesson to others.

After all, no one can guarantee that there will never be a ’traitor’ like Ye Liuyun in the family who wishes to make contact with outsiders.

The current situation of the Taylor family is akin to showing others what end one would meet if a similar incident occurred within their family in the future.

This is why, although those in power on the ship disapproved of the Taylor family, they still left Master Ye with enough dignity, and while they had marginalized Robinson William, they still preserved his corresponding treatment.

Yet despite retaining the original treatment, the strange looks from others and the marginalization made Robinson William’s life very difficult.

After much consideration, Robinson William was still prepared to leave. Yet, unlike Ye Liuyun who was content with only his own well-being, he not only had to consider his wife and children but also had to consult with Master Ye, which meant he could not finalize the matter on the spot.

Ye Liuyun had also taken these matters into account, so he quickly said to Robinson William, "Brother, for such matters, the sooner the better. You should quickly go back and discuss it with father and settle this as soon as possible. If too much time passes, who knows what other complications might arise."

Hearing Ye Liuyun say this, Robinson William hesitated slightly, but ultimately heeded Ye Liuyun’s advice, immediately bidding farewell to Dong Tianyu to go and discuss leaving with Master Ye.

When Ye Liuyun escorted Robinson William out of the room, he suddenly relaxed, and then turned to Dong Tianyu with a look of dejection, complaining, "Ah, I had anticipated that if the plan failed, this ship would no longer have a place for me.
