Ran away with the cub

The implementation of the plan was very smooth. Not long after Aldridge led the team out, they met Anthony's team. The team was led by Andrew. One look at Anthony's face showed that he was very dissatisfied with being led by Andrew.

Andrew and his team obviously saw Aldridge and his team, and Andrew immediately put his team on alert: "Do the people in your team want to fight? Or are they just out looking for supplies?"

Aldridge signaled them not to act rashly: "We are not here to fight, we are here to find supplies, so let's not bother each other, whoever finds it can leave."

Andrew listened and thought carefully. In terms of strength, he and Aldridge should be able to fight for a few rounds. But after all, Aldridge is a student older than him and stronger than him to a certain extent. If Anthony is stronger than Aldridge, he would not always use some sinister tricks to plot against him. So if they fight head-on, the possibility of them winning is unlikely.

"Okay then, let's just look for supplies and not interfere with each other. If anyone makes a move first, don't blame us for being rude." Andrew said and walked away from them.

The place they were going to this time was a dilapidated ruin. No one knew how the instructors found this planet. There were actually many abandoned buildings inside, and supplies could only be found by going deep into those buildings.

As soon as Aldridge saw Anthony, he said nonchalantly, "Why? Why are you like this? Does Gu Ze have any grudge against you? His strength is also quite good, why don't you believe in him?"

Maybe Aldridge's nonchalant expression and tone irritated Anthony, but when he thought that they were still a team after all, he could only hold back his anger and said, "I do what I want to do, why do you care?"

"Oh, so that's the case. I thought you had a very bad relationship with him." Aldridge said thoughtfully, "I've seen that he is a very good person this time. I originally thought that I would report to my mother when I go back and adopt him as my adopted son. In the future, he can serve as the prince's assistant?"

There is an unwritten rule in the empire that if the emperor and empress have only one child, they can select an excellent child from aristocratic families to be adopted as a son. When their child ascends the throne, that child will serve as the assistant prince. This is a win-win situation in any way. And Aldridge has this idea. Gu Ze's family background is not bad, he is a very outstanding person, and Gu Ze's mother is also very sensible. It is a very favorable thing for him to be the adopted son. If the emperor has multiple children, this policy will not appear.

Anthony instantly lost his composure after hearing this. Originally, the emperor planned to force the queen to adopt him as her adopted son and have him assist the prince. This would help him gain the support of some aristocratic families so that they could help him ascend the throne. If he made Gu Ze the queen's adopted son, not only would he be unable to implement his plan, but Gu Ze might also be his father's illegitimate son, which would be very troublesome.

"Aldrich, why do you think I will listen to Gu Ze? How do you think Gu Ze will listen to you obediently? Or is there some kind of deal between Gu Zi and you?" Anthony's face was very gloomy as he spoke.

As soon as Aldridge saw him, he knew that the matter was settled. He didn't expect that this casual sentence would break his defense. Although he had this idea, the games in the past few days made him know many shining points of Gu Ze, and his mother also reminded him that it was time to find someone to assist him. He wanted to treat him as someone who assisted himself, but he didn't expect that Anthony would be like this. Could it be that he also had ideas about dealing with Prince Zuo's position?

In the end, the two teams parted ways unhappily after the quarrel, because some of Anthony's words made some people in their team who originally supported Anthony and not Gu Ze waver, making the team, which was already disunited, even more loose.

After learning about this situation, Yun Wanfeng roughly deduced that they would definitely not be peaceful tonight, so he asked Aldridge and Adonis to prepare and start implementing the plan tonight. Otherwise, the longer it was delayed, the more likely something unexpected would happen.
