Faced with Ye Chen's vehement opposition, Kuize's gaze remained utterly unruffled, and the corners of his mouth lifted faintly once more.
"Ye Chen."
The old man replied with an unhurried smile.
"I have lived for more than three thousand years."
"I have endured countless disasters and witnessed countless miracles."
"When it comes to experience and wisdom, the you of today is still like a newborn infant in my eyes."
"Therefore, every possibility you can think of, every risk and danger that concerns you—"
"I, as the Corps Commander, understand them all perfectly well, and I have long since made the appropriate preparations."
"I told you: if it can be done, then it can be done."
"You do not need to understand the principles behind it."
"You need only believe in me."
Hearing this, Ye Chen froze, instantly finding himself speechless.
After all, Kuize was entirely right. He was the absolute leader who had guided the Hunter Corps through a thousand years of time. That the Hunter Corps had flourished to such heights today was naturally due in large part to Kuize, its leader, possessing far-sighted vision and rational thinking.
For that very reason, when it came to weighing pros and cons, the twenty-two-year-old youth truly was like a newborn calf before the old man, utterly incomparable to him.
However, even knowing this, Ye Chen still could not easily follow Kuize's instructions.
After all, the idea the old man had revealed was simply too insane, too dangerous, too terrifying!
If Kuize truly succeeded in fulfilling his promise, then the reward gained from this gamble would be nothing more than Ye Chen's life alone!
But if Kuize failed, or if some accident occurred along the way—
Then the future of the entire world would be plunged, in one stroke, into endless disaster!
