Ye Ningze naturally had his own plans and ideas. To put it bluntly, from this moment on, Ye Ningze had transformed into a cunning fox, or perhaps a terrifying hunter.
At this moment, anyone who wanted to gain an advantage from Ye Ningze would find it harder than ascending to heaven.
Therefore, Ye Ningze merely smiled, offering no answer.
Zhao Chunhua, however, spoke to Ye Ningze with directness:
"I'm telling you, if your plan doesn't work, I will firmly stand with Zhao Chunfeng's faction. Let's pretend we never met. I don't want to take risks for someone like you."
Actually, his ability to say such words made Ye Ningze feel a sense of goodwill.
Such an honest scoundrel was far better than a hypocrite, at least in Ye Ningze's opinion. Thus, he believed Zhao Chunhua was someone worth befriending.
Furthermore, Zhao Chunhua was worth cultivating. After all, those who achieve great things all have their fundamental temperaments.
And these were not things everyone could imitate or learn. Precisely because of this, Ye Ningze was exceptionally good at judging people.
"Rest assured, if such a situation arises, I will absolutely not let you stand in the same camp as me."
"What I want to tell you is, since you've decided to oppose the Zhao family to the end, I hope you have a long-term plan, rather than surviving like a rat in the Zhao family's gutters. Only then can you ever hope to topple the mighty Zhao family."
Did Zhao Chunhua not know this in his heart? But what good did knowing do?
It was known that in this Sun Base, strength was the only thing that mattered. His own strength was weak, and he had no connections. All he could rely on was his own mind, so all he could do was survive in the cracks.
"Easier said than done. But do you know how powerful the Zhao family's influence is? And the resources the Zhao family possesses are beyond your imagination. It is precisely because of this that I haven't achieved significant gains over the years."
Ye Ningze understood the other party's meaning. It was nothing more than waiting for an opportunity, perhaps just one chance for the other party to completely pull the Zhao family down from their pedestal. Ye Ningze did not deny the other party's thoughts or true strength, nor did he deny that the Zhao family might be more powerful than he imagined.
But as long as he appeared here, Zhao Chunhua would no longer need to worry about strength.
In the end, Zhao Chunhua handed all the information to Ye Ningze. The group meant to deal with Ye Ningze consisted of twenty people, all of whom were Grandmasters.
Moreover, although these twenty were only Grandmasters, they were skilled in coordinated attacks, assassinations, and how to defeat stronger opponents with weaker means.
Therefore, even as Grandmasters, the strength they exuded definitely surpassed that of extraordinary martial artists.
Ye Ningze naturally knew that such individuals, apart from the Supreme Elders of various families, were almost impossible for anyone to deal with.
But that did not mean they could do as they pleased in front of him. Before leaving, Zhao Chunhua said to Ye Ningze:
"By the way, how many people are you planning to send to fight them? If the numbers are too small, they might not be a match for these guys."
Originally, Zhao Chunhua thought Ye Ningze would send many people to fight them, but Ye Ningze's final answer greatly surprised him. Who could have imagined that Ye Ningze would only send one person?
While Zhao Chunhua was somewhat surprised, he also cursed Ye Ningze's foolishness. The Zhao family's ancestor, the Supreme Elder, wouldn't dare to claim victory with certainty against these twenty people.
With Ye Ningze being so young and lacking in means, how could he claim to easily defeat these people?
Moreover, some of these twenty people possessed special abilities. For instance, some were skilled in using poisons.
If they truly injected poison into your body, even the King of Hell couldn't save you. Thus, Zhao Chunhua didn't know where Ye Ningze's confidence came from.
He only hoped Ye Ningze wasn't an incompetent fool, otherwise, they would all die a terrible death this time.
Zhao Chunhua's face immediately turned cold:
"I don't know what abilities and skills you possess, but there's one thing I must remind you: they are not as weak as you imagine. I hope you will treat this matter with all seriousness, otherwise, we will suffer immense losses."
Zhao Chunhua had orchestrated all of this and naturally wouldn't return empty-handed. What he needed was not to eliminate Zhao Chunfeng, but the resources in Zhao Chunfeng's hands.
If these resources were seized, it would be enough for Zhao Chunhua to recruit soldiers.
Similarly, he could use this matter to make Zhao Chunfeng suffer a significant loss within the family.
Afterward, he would speak favorably of Zhao Chunfeng to others, which would surely win Zhao Chunfeng's favor. Then, Zhao Chunhua would further lure Zhao Chunfeng into his trap. By the time Zhao Chunfeng truly realized what was happening, he would have no room for resistance.
Zhao Chunhua, like a spider, wove a vast web for Zhao Chunfeng, waiting for him to walk right into it.
"Rest assured, this matter can be considered as good as in hand. And I believe those twenty people are not entirely loyal to you, are they? I'll take care of them for you, and then you'll have more say in the Zhao family. Only then can you better climb the ranks and thrive in the Zhao family, isn't that right?"
Zhao Chunhua merely sneered, not acknowledging Ye Ningze's words. He hoped Ye Ningze would follow through and not just engage in empty talk. Talking was meaningless.
It was known that these twenty individuals were battle-hardened, having undergone repeated trials to truly become a sharp blade in the hands of the Zhao family.
Therefore, Zhao Chunhua was acutely aware of the strength these twenty possessed. Ye Ningze's overconfidence might lead to a significant setback for him.
At that point, Zhao Chunhua would completely abandon Ye Ningze, regardless of whether it offended Su Xue. He would still do so.
After all, he couldn't risk his own life. In fact, Zhao Chunhua was also quite puzzled as to why Su Xue would favor Ye Ningze.
