Huang Zhi's mind raced. This was an unexpected turn of events, but it could be the opportunity they needed. "Why would you help us?" he asked, needing to understand their motives.
Wang Jian's eyes gleamed with a hint of amusement. "Jiang Chen's influence is growing too rapidly. It's in our best interest to curb his power before it becomes unmanageable."
Huang Zhi nodded slowly, the pieces falling into place. "And you believe that by working together, we can bring him down?"
"Precisely," Wang Jian replied, his voice filled with conviction. "With our combined forces, we stand a much better chance of defeating him."
Huang Zhi took a deep breath, considering the offer. This alliance could be their best shot at survival and revenge. "Very well," he said finally. "We accept your offer. Together, we will bring down Jiang Chen."
