He had been fooled. An Chouchou felt like he was a clown.
He was calm toward this outcome. He realized he couldn’t blame anyone but himself.
He had underestimated Ai Hui.
Ai Hui was far more ambitious than he expected, far more daring than he thought.
Deep down, An Chouchou sighed with sorrow. A newborn doesn’t fear the tiger, but did Ai Hui really think this was an easy feat to pull off? Was snow lava really that powerful? So much so that Ai Hui could use it to command everyone?
It was not that easy.
Most of the combat divisions that went to the front line were under the Elders Guild’s command. They were motivated by Skyheart City’s generous rewards. Anyone who joined Ai Hui’s side would cause his or her relationship with Skyheart City to collapse. How many people were willing to take the risk of falling out with Skyheart City?
What gave him the right to think that he could control the situation? To make everyone listen to him?
