Chapter 286: Let’s Make Friends
Facing Yang Jian's cowardly statement, like someone who had made up his mind to act like a turtle shrinking its head, Zhao Jianguo, Li Jun, Wang Xiaoming, and even Deputy Minister Cao Yanhua were speechless inside.
This guy is arrogant and conceited, which isn't scary given that Yang Jian now has the strength and capital. Yet instead of acting like a tiger out of its cage, he chooses to lie low like a little puppy. What's the meaning of this?
The other ghost masters didn't understand the true contents of this incident, thinking Yang Jian just got lucky. But they knew the truth.
Professor Wang didn't play a big role in it; locking up the Hungry Ghost was all down to Yang Jian's own efforts.
And they couldn't expose Yang Jian's act of feigned weakness, as after this incident, he had risen to become a potential top warrior at the ghost masters' headquarters. No matter what actions were taken or decisions made, they had to consider his feelings and position.
"Why don't you keep being arrogant? I had even allowed you to suppress the other ghost masters forcefully, to secure your own status. So, what's the point of backing down now?"
Zhao Jianguo felt somewhat stifled inside.
Zhao's plan was to have Yang Jian show his strength at the meeting, to deter the top ghost masters, and afterwards, to groom him as a high-end force for the ghost masters' headquarters. The other overinflated ghost masters, now deterred, would definitely respect him, which also benefited the future captain's plan.
But Yang Jian's show of cowardice meant he didn't want to be excessively noticed.
