The King of Death, who was immersed in the illusion, had absolute trust in Zhao Yao.
That night, he gave a confirmation to Zhao Yao. "I will try my best to gather all of Ivory's apostles within a week. You will then intervene and capture them in one swoop."
Zhao Yao agreed and called Uncle Ho, informing him of possible maneuvers of Ivory's apostles and to monitor their movements.
Zhao Yao did not fully trust the King of Death. He wanted more intelligence from Uncle Ho's official channel.
Black Panther was helping Uncle Ho identify the puppets of the King of Death so that important government intelligence could not easily leak. Because of this, Zhao Yao was not concerned that he had tricked the King of Death.
Zhao Yao was relieved after contacting Uncle Ho and returned home.
Recalling the dangerous apostles under the King of Death, Zhao Yao felt he should make use of the available time to gain more experience points.
