"Forcibly taking what you want?"
Niu A spat. "I despise people like that the most."
"This kind of contest over利益 has nothing to do with beauty anymore. Or rather, as long as someone marries Chen Lisha, the Heavenly Demon Guild can absorb the Chen family's influence. Tyrant Tiger, meanwhile, gets both a beauty in his arms and fame and fortune."
Duan You carefully analyzed the situation for him. "Forget how pretty Chen Lisha is—even if she looked ordinary, people would still have their eyes on her. It's just that her future would be even worse then."
"And now, she's more like an extremely valuable trophy—a perfect trophy."
Lin Buji pondered for a moment. "Duan You, do you think we can get involved?"
Duan You organized the intelligence and looked over the Heavenly Demon Guild and the distribution of nearby forces. "The Heavenly Demon Guild is undoubtedly the largest force here. Next is the Chen family. As for the smaller guilds, they basically survive by relying on those two."
"Though the Chen family ranks second, their organization is completely incapable of competing with the Heavenly Demon Guild."
Otherwise, Chen Hao would not have pushed his own daughter into this pit of fire despite knowing full well what the Heavenly Demon Guild was plotting.
"Even if we help the Chen family, we'd only be adding a bargaining chip that doesn't carry enough weight. If Chen Hao is smart enough, he won't accept us. He might even hand us over to the Heavenly Demon Guild as a token of allegiance."
"So his daughter can live a little better in the Heavenly Demon Guild."
Niu A looked absentminded. He had never been able to make sense of these kinds of twists and turns.
Zhu Zixing said, "So we can't cooperate with the Chen family?"
