Chapter 4401 — Nothing Must Go Wrong

"Miss Luan, shall I go myself?" the mysterious man proposed. Whether deliberate or not, letting Wei Zhao run rampant like this was ultimately no good for them. If they truly left him unchecked, who knew what trouble he might stir up in the days to come.
"You must not! Wei Zhao must be kept alive; he still has an important use in the future. This is something Dr. Li instructed me about personally, and it cannot be defied. Besides, it is no great matter. A little trouble is just a little trouble—let him run wild for now," Miss Luan said with a slight shake of her head.
"But this Wei Zhao—he has time and again done astonishing things. Do not be fooled by his current low strength; I have a premonition that before long he may well become a mortal threat to us, and by then dealing with him will not be so easy," the mysterious man said with some concern.
He seemed to understand Wei Zhao very well. Given his level of strength, under normal circumstances he would never pay the slightest attention to a mere Golden Core expert like Wei Zhao—he would regard him only as a lowly ant to be crushed at will. Even if that ant kicked up a little trouble, it could never change the larger course of things.
Yet for some unknown reason, the mysterious man's regard for Wei Zhao had already far exceeded the level he would give any ordinary ant—one might even call it facing a formidable enemy.
"What? With your gifts and strength, could it be that you are actually afraid of a junior like this? Now that is truly a rarity!" Miss Luan could not help but laugh.
On Cloud Terrace Island these days, it was she who coordinated the overall situation, but as one of the chief confidants, this mysterious man in fact held a very high position within the organization. That he had reached his current level was entirely due to his extraordinary talent and strength, earned bit by bit through his own efforts. Before him, no magnate dared show the slightest contempt.
Being extraordinary himself, the mysterious man was inevitably one to hold his head high above all others. To say nothing of ordinary figures, even Xuan Ascension experts—
Yet now, he alone made an exception for Wei Zhao, a mere Golden Core expert, and had even spoken aloud the misgivings in his heart. Such a thing left even Miss Luan astonished.
"It is not fear. It is only that my intuition tells me this Wei Zhao is not to be underestimated. To avoid trouble later, it would be best to strangle the hidden danger in the cradle," the mysterious man said gravely.
As Miss Luan had said, with his gifts and strength, he had never needed to fear anyone. Any expert—including those legendary figures—was only ever fated to be surpassed by him; no one had ever been able to surpass him.
But for all his arrogance, the mysterious man was at the same time absolutely rational. He never let arrogance ruin his affairs, nor ever let it make him underestimate an enemy. Otherwise, had he truly been the sort to look down on all others the moment he gained a little strength, he could never have attained his present status and level within an organization teeming with experts.
"That is true enough, but this Wei Zhao still cannot die for the time being. If he dies, things will lose all their interest. This is not only Dr. Li's instruction but also a consideration of the situation." Seeing how gravely the mysterious man spoke, Miss Luan explained in earnest: "If something happens to Wei Zhao—especially if it happens at our hands—it could very well force those people to turn desperate and fight to the death with us, and then we would be in serious trouble!"
