Upon hearing Fan Yi's words, the hooked-nosed man immediately straightened his face and said solemnly, "Fan Ye is right. We mustn't let our victory blind us. Wu Jindao is a fierce character, a local hegemon; even a lion must exert its full strength to hunt a rabbit, let alone when facing him. We cannot afford to be careless. We must use a hundred percent of our strength to take down this formidable opponent, Wu Jindao, to achieve ultimate victory!"

"That's true, but there's no need to take Wu Jindao too seriously. No matter how formidable he is, didn't he get played like a fool by a small trick from Fan Ye? Besides, times have changed. Wu Jindao has already separated from the Feng Family and lost one of his major generals, which is akin to a tiger losing its teeth. We really don't need to worry about him anymore. His threat to us is already very limited."

The man in the pink shirt smiled slightly and chimed in with ease, "Now you look at our Fan Ye, who surpasses Wu Jindao in intelligence and has gained support from the Feng Family. With such a great backer, it's like soaring through the heavens and leaping the dragon gate. How could the downtrodden Wu Jindao compare? It's no trouble at all dealing with him."

"Didn't you hear what I said? Don't underestimate this person Wu Jindao. A lean camel is still bigger than a horse; moreover, he's not just a camel, but a venomous snake with its head cut off, yet still able to kill! If we're slightly inattentive, we might get bitten by this snake in its death throes, ruining all previous efforts!"

Fan Yi coldly swept a glance at the two, warning them once more.

"Understood, Fan Ye!"

Receiving Fan Yi's gaze, the two shrunk their necks and responded in unison.

After a pause, the hooked-nosed man gave a thumbs up, laughing sycophantically, "Fan Ye, you truly are a person who accomplishes great things! So intelligent and cautious! You were born to be a great figure, and Wu Jindao's position is destined to be yours..."

Suddenly changing his tone, he asked with some doubt, "Fan Ye, there's something I don't quite understand. Since you've already gained the Feng Family's support, why do you personally deal with Wu Jindao? If you used the Feng Family's forces, Wu Jindao would probably have been taken care of by now."

Hearing this, Fan Yi's lips curled slightly, his face regaining a touch of a smile, "I know using the Feng Family's forces would make dealing with Wu Jindao easier! But do you think gaining the Feng Family's support is really that easy? If I go about it like that, not only will it fail to showcase my abilities, but it will also make the Feng Family see me as merely someone who relies on them to act! Because what the Feng Family needs is more than just an obedient, loyal subordinate; they also want someone who can resolve issues and remove obstacles for them, maximizing benefits for their family."

"If I don't show my talents and intelligence, do you think they'd really support me? In the eyes of these powerful families, interests are paramount; frankly, this is an exam where I'm the candidate, and the Feng Family is the examiner. Only when I provide a satisfactory answer sheet will they decide to acknowledge me! You understand now?"

Upon hearing this, the two looked at each other, suddenly realizing, "So that's how it is..."

The hooked-nosed man gave the thumbs up, praising, "Fan Ye is insightful! To see through the Feng Family's intentions so easily, this intelligence is unmatched! However, with Fan Ye's vision and capabilities, I believe you will certainly gain the Feng Family's recognition and eliminate Wu Jindao."

The man in the pink shirt, eager not to be outdone, chimed in, "Indeed! For Fan Ye, this is no difficulty at all! Those utterly foolish guys actually mocked Fan Ye as brainless, truly ridiculous!"

"Exactly! Especially that Wu Jindao; he's really dumb to the extreme! Does he actually think Fan Ye is easy to fool? He's unaware that he's already fallen into the pit set by Fan Ye, foolish to the utmost! He doesn't know how to enjoy prosperity with the backing of the Feng Family and absurdly thinks of betraying it. Only someone with such a simple mind would do something so foolish!"

"Precisely! Luckily, we had foresight and joined Fan Ye's camp early! Otherwise, following that Wu Jindao would eventually lead to a bad end."

"Following Fan Ye, we'll live prosperously!"

"This is the wisest decision I've ever made; a successful future is at hand!"

"..."

The two exchanged words, spitting and flying their praises of Fan Yi, nearly elevating him to the status of an immortal, capable of anything.

Fan Yi, however, remained indifferent, showing no emotional fluctuation from their words, evidently accustomed to it.

"Fan Ye, Jiang Jinchao, your right-hand man, has now been severed by Wu Jindao. When do you plan to take action against him?" The hooked-nosed man abruptly asked.

"The sooner the better! It's essential to strike while the iron is hot in such matters. Since Wu Jindao has already been lured into our trap, the time has come to cover him with earth and a swift victory is necessary! We must seize him while he still hasn't reacted."

Fan Yi took a sip from his glass of red wine, his eyes flashing with a serpentine gleam, his voice icy.

"Haha, that's more like it! Since Fan Ye has decided to act, that old boy Wu Jindao can't jump around for much longer."

The hooked-nosed man laughed heartily and then, in a muffled voice, asked, "Fan Ye, is there anything you need us brothers to do regarding this matter?"

"Yes, Fan Ye! Any requests, just let us know. Be it climbing a mountain of blades or plunging into a sea of fire, neither of us will hesitate!" The man in the pink shirt vowed confidently.

Fan Yi cast a calm glance at the two, "There's only one thing I need you to do: keep your mouths shut! Don't go around talking!"

"Rest assured, Fan Ye! We brothers will certainly not go around blabbing."

"Indeed, Fan Ye, even with our mouths torn, we won't spread anything! Such important matters, we won't say a word, or we'll be courting death!"

Both nodded emphatically, promising.

"Remember what you've said. If any information leaks, don't blame me for being unkind!"

Fan Yi coldly uttered a warning, then waved his hand, "Alright, you two can leave."

"Fan Ye, we'll take our leave."

After exchanging glances, the two responded and exited the room.

Retracting his gaze, Fan Yi raised his wine glass again, aiming at the dim light in the room. Watching the crimson wine ripple, his smile grew increasingly cold, "Wu Jindao, oh Wu Jindao, you've overestimated yourself and underestimated me, Fan Yi! Do you really think I'm simple-minded? That was just playing dumb to catch the tiger! My ambition extends beyond Golden Saber Amusement..."

"Just watch, all that you have will belong to me! That day will arrive soon! Hahaha..."
