'Nagasawa Rea is visiting Thersland. Does Theodore Griffith ask her to visit his hometown?'

'Theodore Griffith doesn't go to Thersland? Is there bad blood between them?'

'Theodore Griffith was bullied in the past.'

'Theo…'

'Nagasawa Rea…'

A lot of news about Rea's appearance in Thersland spread all over the Skynet.

Those who didn't know about the Griffith Family's attempts would think that Theo hated Thersland.

However, the people involved in the assassination or kidnapping would frown upon this visit.

"What's going on around here? This is not like the plan." One of the Griffith Family Experts furrowed his eyebrows while looking at the Mythical Rank Expert that was tasked to lead the mission. To avoid getting into trouble, they only brought Supreme Rank Experts. There was only one Mythical Rank Expert among them, so they knew they had no chance of finishing their missions in this situation.

"Call the headquarters for backup. We need at least five Mythical Rank Experts to finish our mission. But this is weird; shouldn't he send stronger people?"

"I have received another piece of news. It's not as trending as this, but…" One of them showed the news about Ava and Felix.

"This is…" He sucked a cold breath.

The news showed that Ava and Felix were visiting the World Martial Institute. Of course, this action threatened the Orel Group, the vassal of the Griffith Family.

This action threatened the position of the Orel Group. On the one hand, the Orel Group couldn't afford to send them back because they were far stronger than them. On the other hand, if they didn't do anything, the Griffith Family might come to erase them.

The Orel Group was completely confused as to what they should do. And the plan to silence the Orel Group had succeeded.

Theo had truly made the first move, making the situation extremely unpredictable.

"Report it to the headquarters right away and ask for their instruction. If we want to complete this mission, we need at least ten Mythical Rank Experts because we don't know if he has more hidden cards in Thersland. Don't forget that Theodore Griffith himself hasn't personally moved."

They nodded with a serious expression and immediately informed the Griffith Family.

As expected, the Original Theo, the Poison King, and Mason gathered once again to discuss their next action.

"He has seen through your plan." Mason furrowed his eyebrows, glaring at the original Theo. If this mission ended up a failure, the original Theo would lose his footing.

"…" the original Theo paused for a moment, contemplating. "We need to send fifteen Mythical Rank Experts to Thersland. No matter what, this is the best chance to capture them. We have to capture Nagasawa Rea and Akbaraly Ibraev. If we can get the former, we can seal the Sword Saint's movement. If we kidnap the latter, we can stop him from getting information. This is a perfect opportunity.

"Even if we can't deal with them, we can disperse the force and kidnap our original targets. There's no way that the two of them can stop this number. Even if they bring Ruth, the remaining Queen in the group, it won't be enough. If they split up to protect one family each, they'll end up losing to our people. So, the probability of capturing them is high."

Mason also agreed with the explanation. However, there was one big problem they had to face. "Still, he hasn't made his move yet."

"I'm assuming he's going to the Sword Saint to ask for his help. Don't forget about one thing… The Heavenly Sovereign is now visiting the Sword Saint. It's clear that he has to visit him personally if he wants the Sword Saint to make a move. At the same time, China will be preparing for their meeting the next day.

"Let's see. In a few minutes or hours, we'll see him coming to Japan." The Original Theo smirked. As expected from the original, their line of thinking was similar.

Even Mason praised him inwardly, knowing that Valerie's gene truly influenced him. If only the original Theo was trained by Leonardo, he would be able to fully utilize that gene.

Mason thought for a moment and asked, "So, what are you planning to do with this situation?"

"Abandon the Orel Group, there's no way we can trust them anymore. Even if they have alibis, we don't know whether it's true or not. Instead of relying on them, we should focus on the task at hand.

"First, even if we fail to get Nagasawa Rea and Akbaraly Ibraev, we have to capture the Eilric Family in Thersland. We'll bring Alea here and turn the Eilric Family into our strongest family. They'll know about my existence sooner or later, so it's the same Theodore Griffith. I'm sure the Eilric Family will agree.

"And then, you have to go to China directly to convince the rest of the people when the Heavenly Sovereign is not there. This way, they'll be able to agree or stop interfering with the situation. Depending on their actions, you should know what to do.

"If you can convince them to have the Heavenly Sovereign capture Theo there, the Sword Saint won't be able to make a move. Even if that body ends up being a mere clone, it's fine. What we have to worry about is another country. It's clear that at least one king has to remain in Italy because of Agata.

"So, we'll take advantage of it and fill up the hole. With him trying to go to the Sword Saint and meeting the Heavenly Sovereign, I'll go to the US and persuade them to work together with us. The Poison King will go with me to ensure my safety since his power works better against the masses.

"This will be a perfect opportunity to handle him. He must be overconfident with his plan since he strikes first, so we have to turn around the situation."

The explanation this whole time made sense to Mason. Even he couldn't picture a better plan. They were taking advantage of the current situation to instill one doubt in another like what Theo did to the Orel Group.

If both plans worked out, they would be slightly ahead in terms of plans.

"The only one who can defeat you is yourself, huh." Mason smirked. "Interesting enough for me. I'll take care of my job then."
