"Hmm…"
After Xu Ke finished, Yuan Shang and Duan Chongfeng fell into deep thought. It was mainly Yuan Shang who was pondering, since family constraints prevented Duan Chongfeng from intervening in the conflicts between Tianhai's native families. Only Yuan Shang, as the Vice Alliance Hierarch, had to seriously consider Xu Ke's words.
Xu Ke wasn't in a hurry and allowed Yuan Shang to think things through.
He had detailed the Ye Family's many strengths not to genuinely praise them, but to put Yuan Shang on high alert. Destroying the Ye Family was their most important strategic goal at the moment.
And Hua Xingxue was the first step Xu Ke intended to take toward that goal.
"I'll ask Old Hua to consider it further," Yuan Shang finally said with a long sigh after a while.
A sense of relief washed over Xu Ke, and he smiled. "Don't look so conflicted. My intentions aren't that complicated."
