Better to be the phoenix's tail than the chicken's head!
Everyone had different aspirations.
"So you're also looking toward the heart of the Nine Profound Domain?"
"Do all twelve of you want to go?"
"I can't take over that much on my own..."
"Damn it, you really want me to take over everything?"
Seeing the World King's smiling expression, Chen Changan knew he'd guessed right.
He'd known they were leaving, but damn, he hadn't expected them to leave as a whole group.
"Chen Changan, we have faith in you. A great deal of faith."
"You're not only strong yourself; there are plenty of promising young talents among your people, too."
"They're all part of your foundation. Just cultivate them properly, and have them take over the territories and businesses of the other eleven World Kings. How simple is that?"
"Besides, they're all our own people. Your prestige in the Eastern Extreme Domain will only grow from here."
"Think about it. We've spent all these years in the Eastern Extreme Domain preparing the ground for you."
"You and your people can take over immediately. What a huge advantage that is for you!"
"You've got everything to gain and nothing to lose."
Everything to gain and nothing to lose?
He made it sound so nice. Anyone whose wits turned a little slowly would've been talked into it. But who was Chen Changan?
Did he look like someone who could be fooled that easily?
"That all sounds very nice."
"Who were you working so hard for all these years? Yourselves, weren't you?"
"You're the ones who've benefited the most from all this."
"Now you want to aim higher, so you've decided you don't need this anymore. Then you found me, and have the nerve to claim you prepared it all for me!"
"Pah!"
