Lustful Depravity: The Villain system!-Chapter 22 - 4) The great grandma.

Zhao Fan remained silent, his gaze locked onto her.

Quite intriguing.

His fingers tapped the wooden chair rhythmically, his mind calculating the next move.

She had successfully turned the tables on him, but that only made the game more interesting.

Truth be told, he doesn't have much information on her, not to mention, that he came to meet the great ancestor and not her.

A slow, amused smile crept onto his face.

"Lady Ancestor, you truly live up to your reputation. I must admit, I underestimated you...," he said, his voice smooth, completely unshaken.

He leaned back slightly, exuding an air of confidence as if he had never been cornered in the first place.

"But it is unfortunate that you have also underestimated me. Do you think my goal was simply to hand you a solution and ask for the guild? When in the first place, I came to meet the grand ancestor? No, no, no... Lady Ancestor... you are thinking too shallowly,"

His words were calm, yet each syllable carried weight questioning her very perspective ability.

He could see the flicker of interest in Zhao Jie's eyes, her amusement deepening with each passing second.

What was this?

Things are getting interesting, she could feel goosebumps, plus, due to Yin-poisoning she was wet.

The itch getting stronger.

She was excited physically, mentally, and psychologically.

...

"This Son can't help but feel quite disappointed learning how you perceived me, but, You see, I have already set things into motion.

The elders and great elders supporting Zhao Meng? Within three days, their loyalty will waver. The moment I stepped into this courtyard, my next move was already in play,

It's surprising how you believe I am slightly above Zhao Meng, or perhaps, Lady Ancestor also views his inheritance and blessing as something unshaken?"

Zhao Fan looked at her cold cold eyes.

Perhaps she is some "supporting character" in Zhao Meng's story.

It is very hard to put the pieces together when everything is in dark.

Is guild something that would belong to Zhao Meng?

Questions after question was in his mind with limited answers.

..

Zhao Jie narrowed her eyes seeing his boldness. "Oh And here I wonder what move, would that be?"

Zhao Fan chuckled. "You should be asking yourself... what have I already done?"

His words hung in the air like a sharp blade, cutting through the tension.

Zhao Jie's fingers twitched ever so slightly, a sign that she was reassessing him.

He knew she had the ability to read people, but what happens when she's given too many possibilities to consider?

When even she cannot be certain of the truth?

"I never make a move without ensuring my victory," Zhao Fan continued.

"Right now, you're trying to decipher what my true strategy is. Perhaps you're thinking that I have secured the Pill Saint girl under my influence, ensuring an endless supply of higher-grade medicine.

Maybe you suspect I have already gathered proof of corruption among Zhao Meng's supporters. Or, more amusingly, you might believe that I have a hidden expert backing me from the shadows," he further added.

Zhao Jie remained silent, her cold eyes looking straight into his eyes.

"Tell me, Lady Ancestor... which one do you think it is?"

He leaned forward, his gaze sharp like a knife.

"Or perhaps... it's all of them? But, let me add another point: Do you truly believe I will only rely on others for everything?

Of course, you are also free to believe that I am just bluffing,"

He said.

Zhao Jie finally smiled, a genuine expression laced with admiration and caution.

"Hmph... interesting. It seems you're not just an arrogant child after all." She gently placed the teacup down.

It was true, one shouldn't look at the guardian and immediately come to the conclusion that the guardian is the only person able to fight.

One shouldn't think like a sheep.

...

(In the modern world, it's like seeing the bodyguard beside a rich man and thinking he is the only one you need to worry about.

What if that rich man has defensive measures like a gun, or perhaps he knows Tai Chi or ancient martial arts? )

...

One should learn to think like a fox, and hide like a peak predator.

Lady Ancestor couldn't help but begin to analyze the current situation.

'Oh! Quite a point, it makes me wonder just what is true depth of the divine son living in the Zhao Clan is, wasn't he just a cultivating maniac, cultivating into the seclusion?'

'Somehow, he feels different as if someone else has possessed the body. Or perhaps he was always like this? Just hidden... Hmmm, he can even see my intention but, what's the point?'

'Certainly, he is smart but I can't deny Zhao Meng has great potential, intelligence alone isn't enough to rule the world, but his confidence, that makes me think otherwise, perhaps I can use it to gain my own advantage too...'

Her smile turned cold and sinister.

"I am quite satisfied, thus, I can help you control the guild, however, you have to do a mission first, and not just do the mission, but also step down from the position of Divine Son.

Follow current novels on ƒreewebηoveℓ.com.

As long as you remained divine son, the guild is off-limit," while saying that, she refilled the cup.

"..."

Wow!

Simply wow.

Zhao Fan couldn't help but curse his fate.

Then again, he didn't care much about the position of divine son, as long as, Zhao Meng couldn't get it.

And in the same way, he doesn't care much about the guild either.

The guild is supposed to be his disposable tool and not a lifeline.

He can pay other guilds, taverns, and other organizations to help him monitor too.

But having your own spying organization is better.

Paying someone to monitor someone can backfire, especially knowing that they are monitoring the chosen ones.

The profit isn't great based on her words.

He rather maintain the position of divine son, and pay some organization with a risk of potential betrayal and fake information.

The options laid before him aren't equal.

"I see, it was a pleasure to meet you Lady Ancestor, I gained some enlightenment drinking tea and watching nature silently with you... Take this as a token of my gratitude," saying that, he got up from his seat, placing a pill-box on the table.
