Pei Xiuyuan was not a man of small-mindedness, but neither was he limited in intellectual capacity.
Han Zheng had already shown such astonishing capabilities, what could he possibly use to contend with Han Zheng?
Besides, Han Zheng had once saved his life, if he were to clash with Han Zheng again, even his trusted lieutenant, Zhao Jinhua, would be disappointed in him.
Zhao Rongye took a deep breath and gently shook his head, saying, "Who would have thought that Han Zheng hasn't been in Smoke Wave Prefecture for long and has already turned this place upside down? I truly underestimated him.
He must have started suspecting me when he was preparing to investigate those past events, right?
I've become old and less vigilant; I should have left long ago."
As his voice faded, a wicked black aura suddenly burst forth from Zhao Rongye's body.
That black aura was neither Demonic Qi nor Death Qi nor Demon Energy but an indescribable, corrupt presence.
