Upon hearing this, Robert was still smiling.
He even thought that Gu Hang wasn't actually that smart.
He had initially believed Gu Hang to be a high-level 'peer,' an extraordinarily intelligent individual who could guess his perfect plan without being told. And once he knew his plan, he would surely believe that everything would proceed smoothly.
Unfortunately...
But since Gu Hang held the powerful Alliance,
he decided he needed to take some time to explain it to Gu Hang carefully and patiently, persuading this ruler of the Alliance.
Still, he felt somewhat disappointed.
If Gu Hang were the kind of person with 'absolute wisdom' that he had previously thought, he even considered handing over the Empire to him. During his time as the 'Regent King' of the Empire, he had taken control of the entire military and political affairs of the Empire, understanding how taxing it was. He was willing to hand off this responsibility or share it with Gu Hang.
