The Fight Begins

Dadatis stared at Zhang Heng for a while and let the latter touch his face. 

"Why?"

"You know that many in the organization disagree with me choosing you as my successor, right? However, I still insist on doing so."

"Hmm."

"But I am a bit confused now, whether or not this is the right or wrong thing to do. I realize that I don't seem to know you quite well. Every time I meet you, you show me something I didn't know about. Like right now, I have never seen this side of you before. I never knew that you had such an excellent political skillset. To be honest, I am a little afraid of you now."

"What are you afraid of? Anyway, you are going to retire soon. Whatever happens after that has nothing to do with you anymore," Zhang Heng replied casually.
