"Should we press our advantage and wipe out the Yu Family?"
Inside the headquarters' main hall, Jin Ruhua asked Chen Lin for his opinion, murderous intent radiating from her.
The Yu Family still had another Eternal Expert. Although that expert dared not venture out, they would resist an attack on their lineage's headquarters, so she did not dare order the Left Alliance to carry it out.
"No rush. Let's see how they react first."
Chen Lin shook his head, rejecting the idea.
It was not that he did not want to do it. He naturally understood the need to cut out the grass by its roots, but his internal energy was now depleted. To deal with the Yu Family's other Eternal Expert, he would have to use the Sword Woman's Intentless Sword or the Blue Gemstone Ring, and the gains would hardly justify the cost.
He could not bear to use a Hutu Fruit to restore his internal energy, either.
Muddled Fruits ripened very slowly, and he needed to save his resources for where they mattered most. In any case, the Yu Family no longer had the strength to counterattack. He could deal with them slowly.
"Understood."
With Jin Ruhua's sharp mind, she immediately realized that the means Chen Lin had used came with restrictions, and began considering a strategy.
Then she said, "Even if we don't press our advantage and destroy them, we can't show no response at all. That would arouse suspicion."
"How about this?"
"We'll first issue an announcement explaining that killing Yu Dahuang was an unavoidable act of self-defense, not a deliberate violation of the Rainbow Seven Articles. Then we'll demand compensation from the Yu Family. If their compensation fails to satisfy us, they can't blame us for showing no mercy."
"That works."
Chen Lin nodded
