The ancients said that the praying mantis hunts the cicada, but the yellow bird is behind.

It is not that the praying mantis is not vigilant enough, on the contrary, the praying mantis is an excellent species in battle.

Its observation, reaction, speed, maneuverability, and attack power are all outstanding.

But it is still no match for the yellow bird.

Setting aside the irreversible gap in strength and size, under normal circumstances, the praying mantis can still escape from the attack of the yellow bird.

But in the scene of this proverb, it can only end up as a meal in the mouth of the yellow bird.

The reason is that it puts most of its energy into the prey in front of it, without caring about the surroundings or even the back.

However.

But what if the yellow bird hunts the cicada and the praying mantis is behind?

What can a mere praying mantis do to the yellow bird?

Isn't it afraid that the yellow bird will turn around and eat it instead?

The current group of people, Chongzong and Manranyama Canglian, are exactly doing this.

However, this metaphor needs to be adjusted to be more accurate.

Tigers pouncing on elephants, hunting dogs behind them.

If Bai Yaxin is the tiger, then Chongzong and Manranyama Canglian are just hunting dogs.

If they were to confront each other head-on, they certainly wouldn't be Bai Yaxin's match.

And for Bai Yaxin, Manranyama Uminari is the giant elephant.

He is well aware of the huge gap in strength.

Similarly, in a head-on confrontation, one kick from Manranyama Uminari can crush Bai Yaxin to death.

No matter how much Bai Yaxin scratches and bites, he can only injure a bit of Manranyama Uminari's fur.

So he chooses to always stay by Manranyama Uminari's side, to carefully observe, to find the weak points of this giant elephant, and to gradually weaken its defenses from within, to find opportunities.

It's not about a single decisive blow, it's about forgetting his own identity as a tiger and becoming an ant, slowly devouring the giant elephant.

Currently, Bai Yaxin is focusing on Manranyama Uminari's retail business in Southeast Asia, wanting to bring this part of the team under his control.

But he cannot actively approach Manranyama Uminari to ask for these resources.

Actively asking for something will raise Manranyama Uminari's suspicion.

After all, Bai Yaxin already controls a considerable amount of power within the Manranyama Consortium.

He wants Manranyama Uminari to arrange for him to manage it on his own.

Therefore, Bai Yaxin's approach is to secretly cause trouble for the Manranyama Consortium's retail business in Southeast Asia.

To make Manranyama Uminari too busy to pay attention.

To make the people arranged by Manranyama Uminari unable to handle it well.

Until Manranyama Uminari realizes that he needs to assign his most competent "Bai Yaxin" to handle this matter.

This way, it is not something he asked for, but a task assigned to him by Manranyama Uminari.

Everything will naturally fall into place, and it will appear very natural.

Bai Yaxin, who was preoccupied with this major matter, had no time to spare for other trivial matters.

For example, his subordinate, Ayaki Yuriko, who used to be under his command, had been missing for a long time after the last mission, and he did not allocate any energy to follow up on this matter.

Although he claimed to trust Ayaki Yuriko and believed in her abilities, believing that she could handle things on her own and come back by herself, fundamentally, turning pawns into discarded pieces was an everyday occurrence for Bai Yaxin.

For instance, the issues with Chongzong and Manranyama Souren had been bothering him for a long time. These "flies" were buzzing around him and causing trouble.

Naturally, Bai Yaxin was annoyed, but after all, flies were just flies. He didn't consider them worthy of concern.

Once he finished handling the major matter at hand, he would focus his energy and quickly deal with these annoying ants.

However, when he heard that these flies had been hanging around near the Yasaka Shrine recently, he couldn't help but mutter to himself.

First, he would arrange for Xu Yu to delay them.

Bai Yaxin thought of his daughter.

Bai Xuyu definitely couldn't handle dealing with these people.

But giving her some misleading and false information, and letting her delay them, would be a clever plan.
