"Let me reiterate, this is outside my purview. I cannot possibly surmise the reasons behind the Greenwater Beggar's restraint.
It could be that he is unfamiliar with Yuezhou, or perhaps he intends to leverage this epidemic for some ulterior motive.
What I can assure you of is that his capabilities extend far beyond this current situation. If you possess the sufficient strength, my recommendation is to neutralize him without delay. Failure to do so will inevitably invite calamities of an unimaginable scale.
Should your strength prove inadequate, my advice is to enter immediate negotiations and arrange for his return to Puluo State. This is, by far, the most secure course of action."
Kang Zhenchang ended the call and departed from the executive floor.
