Fang Ze said calmly, "He guessed that I have the God-Imprisoning thod in my hands."
"What?!", Hei Yu exclaid with a shocked expression, "He guessed that you have the God-Imprisoning thod? How did he figure it out?"
Speaking of this, Hei Yu paused, puzzled, and said, "That’s not right. Young Master, you just said you deliberately revealed this? Why would you reveal this to him?"
Hearing Hei Yu’s words, Fang Ze rely smiled and did not explain.
The matter of the God-Imprisoning thod was indeed sothing he intentionally disclosed to He Weidao, otherwise, he could have completely found so other excuse to conceal his source of information.
And he did this mainly for two reasons.
First, compared to other roundabout thods, revealing that he possesses the God-Imprisoning thod makes it easier to force He Weidao to compromise, and it’s more secure and safer.
If it weren’t absolutely necessary, he wouldn’t want to lose his physical body. This might be related to his future Extraordinary Path.
Second..... inducent is far easier to control people’s hearts than threats. Fang Ze needs to focus his energy on traveling and improving his strength, lacking the ti to fend off He Weidao’s various plots and sches.
Therefore, he needs sothing to continually control He Weidao.
If Fang Ze relied solely on threats to achieve his goals, even if He Weidao compromised, he would likely continue to retaliate against Fang Ze.
But once Fang Ze has sothing that makes He Weidao covet, then when He Weidao becos impatient, Fang Ze can throw out a bit of information to tempt him, making him patient again.
In this way, not only would the people around Fang Ze in Xida State be in a better position, but it would also give Fang Ze ti to develop: by the ti Fang Ze returns from his travels, there’s a high likelihood he will beco a Demigod. By then, he won’t need to engage in pretenses with He Weidao and can directly deal with him.
Is there a less risky thod that allows Fang Ze to develop steadily and eventually take revenge?
Of course, there is. That would be for Fang Ze to accept all the losses now, pretend to be frustrated, let everyone around him suffer temporarily, and secretly go out to hone his skills and develop.
Actually, Fang Ze had considered using this more stable thod.
However! One’s life is about having a clear conscience, is it not?
Now, when he can clear Old Mr. Bai’s na, give those around him comfort, and let enemies suffocate, but he still chooses to hide, can his mind be at ease?
On a small scale, it might weigh on his heart, reducing his lifespan; on a large scale, it might lead to a failure in Questioning Heart, making him unable to advance, shed mortality, and beco a Demigod.
Therefore, after much thought, Fang Ze ultimately chose the slightly riskier path. Looking at it now, the effect seems acceptable...
Thinking this way, Fang Ze gazed steadfastly ahead, suddenly feeling an unprecedented clarity of mind at that mont.
In the unseen realm, it felt as if sothing was gestating in his spirit.....
...
The night passed without a word.
The next day, Fang Ze went to work as usual.
Lan Bing and Bai Zhi... continued to skip work.
When Fang Ze arrived at the State Security Bureau, it was in the sa state of unrest as the day before, with several vice directors from the Commoner Faction stepping into power, starting to organize various departnts of the Security Bureau, preparing to take control.
Other departnts in Xida State were similar to the Security Bureau, with the Commoner Faction taking power, settling scores and excluding the original Nobility Faction, gradually taking control.
This victory invigorated everyone in the Commoner Faction, and although Xida State was still in a life-and-death crisis, it seed they had found a new beginning.
anwhile, as the Commoner Faction was taking over various departnts, a conversation was happening in the study of He Weidao’s manor.
Black Shark looked at He Weidao and asked, "Must we retreat?"
He Weidao, calmly sipping tea, nodded, "We must retreat."
Black Shark asked, "What on earth happened?"
He Weidao shook his head, "I can’t say."
Black Shark was silent for a while.
After a mont, he asked, "If we do this, the unity we’ve just built might imdiately scatter by half."
He Weidao looked up and smiled, "It won’t co to that. It’s just a minor setback. Though morale will waver for a while, when they see the general situation unchanged, they’ll stand united again."
Then, with so emotion, he added, "Besides, our plans have been too smoothly executed recently, making our mindset sowhat restless. Although everything is progressing well now, with formidable enemies at the doorstep, keeping everyone sober is also beneficial."
Seeing He Weidao’s response, Black Shark finally stopped opposing and nodded, "Then let’s do as you say."
That afternoon, the State Council suddenly convened another ergency eting, during which Black Shark, Head of the Special Affairs Departnt of the Eastern Administrative Region, resigned from the Vice Chairperson’s position he barely occupied, citing excessive official duties.
The council mbers, all being seasoned politicians, imdiately sensed that sothing was amiss with this strange signal.
Indeed, that was the case. After Black Shark resigned from the Vice Chairperson position, when nominating candidates for the new Vice Chairperson, He Weidao unexpectedly nominated Fang Ze, soone no one anticipated.
At that mont, the room fell into silence, with shock written all over everyone’s faces, including Lan Bing and Bai Zhi beside Fang Ze.
No one knew what Fang Ze had done to make He Weidao willingly give up such a significant benefit when the Commoner Faction had won a great victory.
