She had used her advantage in information and Botobai's behavior to create this killing move.
Had any other member of the Zodiacs fallen for it, they would most likely have gone down bitterly.
Botobai had pointed out that Gel had underestimated Moyu. Implicitly, he had also acknowledged the power of the killing move she had devised.
But none of that mattered anymore.

Botobai glanced at Gel's right hand.
Although she had stopped the bleeding in time, losing a hand was a steep price to pay.
And that was only because Moyu had deliberately held back. Otherwise, it would have been no surprise if Gel had suffered severe injuries in that moment.

Faced with Botobai's commanding declaration, Gel frowned deeply and said nothing.
Anyone could clearly see the conflict and hesitation on her face.
One failed attack, and she had to withdraw from the operation.
That was a little too ridiculous.
But she could tell Botobai was serious, and she also realized that Moyu had held back earlier.
That was why she hesitated.
Should she withdraw now, or grit her teeth and keep going?
She was not usually someone who cared about saving face, but being knocked out right at the start of the operation was still somewhat embarrassing.
Botobai watched the conflicted Gel coldly, patiently waiting for her answer.

As for whether the truth matched his guess...
He could either wait for the Eye of Vision to grow on Gel, then control her and make her explain.
Or he could go to the agreed location, beat Botobai down, and
