The next morning.
After sending Tang Xinwan to work, Ye Cangtian headed to the Xidun Hotel.
He had originally planned to continue to Yangzhou, but he eventually gave up.
The design work in Yangzhou was basically completed, with Xu Shian and Shangguan Yun overseeing it, so he could rest assured.
As for who would come to disrupt the final proposal, he could only take it one step at a time.
In short, it was a case of facing trouble as it comes!
The top-floor luxury suite.
As soon as Zi Long got out of bed, he saw Po Xiao arrive, and a hint of helplessness appeared on his face.
Among the many Earth-level enforcers of the Dark Association, Po Xiao was the one who came to him most frequently.
However, this was a good thing, proving that Po Xiao was close to him.
"Lord Zi Long, I have a piece of news here that I believe you will find very interesting."
"Would you like to hear it now, or after you've tidied up?"
Looking at Ye Cangtian's smiling gaze, Zi Long snorted and said testily, "Heh, wouldn't you say that to make me more curious? Go on!"
"I have some news here."
"The Tamu Mercenary Group has split into two groups. One is heading to the Rattlesnake Mercenary Group, and the second is heading to the Lightning Mercenary Group."
"According to my analysis, the Guangming Hall intends to make a move against the Renbu and the Rattlesnake Mercenary Group, while also targeting those small and medium-sized forces..."
Ye Cangtian slowly revealed some information.
Although he did not advise the Death Squad and Pandora Mercenary Group to take action, he was very willing to see the Dark Association make a move.
He was happy to see the Guangming Hall and the Dark Association fight each other and wear each other down.
"Hmm?"
Upon hearing this, Zi Long's eyes immediately lit up.
This was a battle plan. Knowing this, and laying an ambush, the Guangming Hall would surely suffer heavy losses.
Thinking of this, he quickly asked, "Po Xiao, this matter cannot be a joke. Are you sure the news is accurate?"
"I can't be certain!"
Ye Cangtian smiled slightly and shook his head, continuing, "To tell you the truth, the news came from Huang Jiu..."
Ye Cangtian naturally could not guarantee such matters.
After all, the Guangming Hall had done too many underhanded things. Who knew if this was a scheme concocted by the Guangming Hall?
Therefore, he attributed the matter to Huang Jiu.
Huang Jiu?
Zi Long was slightly stunned, then he remembered that Huang Jiu was Gu Yue, who was lurking by Ye Cangtian's side.
In that case, the news should have come from Ye Cangtian.
If that were the case, the news should be true.
Who didn't know that Ye Cangtian was the captain of the Death Squad?
The reason the Death Squad was mysterious and powerful was not only reflected in their strength but also in their intelligence gathering.
Often, when powerful forces took action against the Death Squad, before their personnel could even be dispatched, the Death Squad would have already laid out their battle plan.
This was their terrifying aspect!
It was also one of the important reasons why the Death Squad, with only a few members, had become famous in the mercenary world.
Thinking of this, Zi Long glanced at Ye Cangtian and said, "Po Xiao, what are your thoughts? Tell me."
"Heh, what other thoughts could I have? Naturally, it's to prepare a generous gift for the Guangming Hall!"
"Also, if possible, the Renbu should not be idle either. The only word is 'kill'!"
"Of course, this is not cooperating with the Guangming Hall, but rather being the final螳螂捕蝉，黄雀在后 (mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind)!"
Seeing the smile in Po Xiao's eyes, Zi Long suddenly felt a chill in his heart, stemming from the other party's ruthless methods.
In his opinion, this was purely an act of revenge by Ye Cangtian.
Revenge for the Renbu's treachery!
It was likely that after this incident, the Renbu would cease to exist.
To put it mildly, even if the Renbu was not destroyed, it would likely be at the end of its rope, fading from the world stage.
Thinking this, Zi Long slowly said, "The plan is not bad, but this matter is too big and needs to be decided by Lord Xing Yuan."
"It is only right to ask Lord Xing Yuan for a decision."
"But there is one thing I want to remind you, opportunities lost are never regained!"
"That's all I have to say. How to choose in the end, please decide for yourself, Lord Zi Long."
Ye Cangtian said slowly.
For such matters, Ye Cangtian would not step forward to take the lead, so as not to get into trouble. He could only subtly entice.
At the same time, Ye Cangtian believed that Zi Long would understand his intentions.
"This..."
The words 'opportunities lost are never regained' made Zi Long hesitate.
He was very clear that any action could lead to unforeseen circumstances and that the situation could change rapidly.
Once he had to go to headquarters to report to Xing Yuan, he might miss the opportune moment, as it would take at least half a month for a round trip, unlike in the outside world where a phone call could solve it.
If he missed the chance for battle, he would definitely regret it immensely.
But if this matter was handled well, it would be a great achievement, not only striking a blow against the Guangming Hall but also retaliating against the Renbu.
However, if it was handled poorly, the Renbu and the Guangming Hall might jointly attack the Dark Association, which was no small matter.
Thinking of this, Zi Long glanced at Ye Cangtian and said with a helpless wry smile, "Po Xiao, brother is really in a difficult spot this time. Give brother some advice, won't you?"
The only person he could trust now was Po Xiao, and he also believed in Po Xiao's abilities.
"Do it!"
Ye Cangtian uttered a single word, and continued, "The winner is king, the loser is a bandit. Sometimes there is no certainty, and you need to have courage!"
After a pause, Ye Cangtian added, "Moreover, as the final oriole, we can observe the development of the situation and then decide whether to act or not!"
This sentence made Zi Long's eyes shine.
What the other party said was correct. They could also prepare in the East, and decide based on the situation. If there was a high probability of success, they would act; otherwise, they would retreat.
"Okay, then we'll do as you say."
"However, the matter in Japan is of great importance and cannot be taken lightly, so I will lead the team personally and bring Lan Yue and Qing Dao with me."
"As for the other small and medium-sized forces, I'll leave them to you. You will have full command of the Caesar Mercenary Group!"
Zi Long finally made his decision.
After all, to face both the headquarters of the Renbu and the powerful Guangming Hall simultaneously, Zi Long had to be well-prepared. Having two more Earth-level powerhouses would also increase their chances.
In fact, with such a lineup, Zi Long still felt that he lacked certainty.
He also wanted to bring Po Xiao along, but the problem was that he couldn't neglect the other small and medium-sized forces.
If those forces were annexed by the Guangming Hall, it would undoubtedly boost the Guangming Hall's strength, so someone had to go and disrupt this.
In his helplessness, he could only hand this matter over to Po Xiao.
"Uh..."
Hearing Zi Long's decision, Ye Cangtian's mouth twitched. He had originally intended for Zi Long, Lan Yue, and Qing Dao to handle these two matters separately.
But in the end, the matter still fell on him, truly feeling like he had brought trouble upon himself.
Thinking this, Ye Cangtian could only agree.
Fortunately, the Guangming Hall had just begun to act, so he still had some time to prepare. The final requirement was that it should not affect his proposal.
Otherwise, he would have to face Tang Xinwan's methods, as major matters took precedence, and romantic affairs would have to be postponed...
The next moment, Ye Cangtian changed the subject and said, "Lord Zi Long, it is said on the battle network that Ye Cangtian has been frequently going to Yangzhou and is planning to hold a proposal ceremony. What are your plans for this matter?"
"Heh, what plans could I have?"
"I have no plans, and I think it's best if you don't get involved either, lest you bite off more than you can chew..."
Zi Long glanced at Ye Cangtian and said testily.
He had indeed seen Ye Cangtian's matters on the battle network.
Originally, he was prepared to discuss it with Po Xiao when he came.
But Po Xiao brought news of the Guangming Hall. Now that they had decided to act against the Guangming Hall and the Renbu, they would let Ye Cangtian off for now.
After all, all four Earth-level powerhouses had been assigned tasks, and they were too busy to deal with Ye Cangtian.
It was better to leave Ye Cangtian to other forces, and he believed that other forces would not let Ye Cangtian off easily.
"That's good."
"I also want to remind you not to act rashly!"
"The battle network has already released the news. China will definitely be prepared, and it might even be a trap set by Chinese forces to lure the enemy..."
Hearing Zi Long's words, Ye Cangtian pretended to breathe a sigh of relief, "As expected, you think more comprehensively!"
Upon hearing this, Zi Long laughed heartily, stepped forward, patted Ye Cangtian's shoulder, and then his expression became serious.
"I'll leave that matter to you. If you complete the mission, I'll treat you to a drink and personally request credit for you!"
"Your abilities are good, but I still want to give you a piece of advice: man's plans are not as good as heaven's, be careful in everything..."
