**160章：局部优势的迷局**

赵弘润的怒气 hadn't dissipated yet，Lee's words still lingering in his mind like a double-edged sword，cutting at his self-esteem. He clenched his fists，his knuckles white as he stared at Lee with a mixture of anger and disdain.

"You dare to mock me？" Zhao Hongrun's voice rose in indignation. "I am the son of the Crown Prince，I have the right to control the situation！"

Lee's smile remained gentle，but his tone was laced with sarcasm. "Zhao Hongrun，you're too easily trapped by local advantages. Your strategy is nothing but a fantasy of local advantages，you haven't considered the entire situation."

Zhao Hongrun's anger boiled over，his eyes flashing with fury. "You're just a traitor！" he spat，his voice trembling with rage. "You dare to question my authority？I'll crush you！"

Lee's smile never wavered，but his eyes gleamed with intelligence. "Zhao Hongrun，you're not thinking clearly. Your local advantages may seem insignificant，but they're not the only factors at play. The entire situation is much more complex."

The room fell silent，the tension palpable. Zhao Hongrun's anger slowly receded，replaced by a cold calculation. He studied Lee's face，trying to gauge his motivations.

"You're trying to distract me，aren't you？" Zhao Hongrun asked，his voice low and even. "Well，it won't work. I'll crush you and anyone else who dares to oppose me."

Lee's smile never wavered. "Zhao Hongrun，you're making a grave mistake. The game is far from over. In fact，it's just beginning."

The words hung in the air like a challenge，the outcome uncertain. Zhao Hongrun's eyes narrowed，his mind racing with possibilities. What was Lee planning？How could he be so sure of himself？

As the silence stretched，Zhao Hongrun felt a creeping sense of unease. Lee's words had struck a chord，awakening doubts he'd long suppressed. Was he truly in control？Or was he just trapped in a web of his own making？

The door creaked open，interrupting the stalemate. A servant bowed，his face pale with concern. "Prince Zhao，the Emperor summons you to the throne room."

Zhao Hongrun's eyes locked onto Lee's，a flicker of uncertainty in their depths. What lay ahead？Would he emerge victorious or succumb to the machinations of his foes？Only time would tell.
