Chapter 623: A Lead (2/2)

”Then why say something in the first place.” Henry snorted causing Logan to glare at him.

”Alright you, don't start now.” Charles placed himself in between Henry and Logan to prevent them raising a ruckus. ”But I do agree with your deduction Logan. What we need to do is to make sure that we take advantage of this lead and never lose it. There should be a way for us to keep them in the dark but the question is, what?”

Silence surrounded them once more, seeing this the Grand Elder groaned and said: ”Come on, people. Let your voices be heard, whatever ideas you have, feel free to tell them. I'd rather have us brainstorming rather than being silent.”

”How about we sent a agent of our own?” One of the Elders proposed.

”That's not a bad idea but how exactly are going to approach them? You can be thinking of having them go there to look for someone shady and ask: 'Hey, do you know where most of the shady people gathers here, cause I wanna join them'. That's not going to work.”

”Yeah, additionally, we can't be sure that they're not paying attention to us as well. Since they could escape our detection for many years now, it should be obvious that they have their own security measures.”

And just like this, the meeting hall was filled with numerous debates and contradictions. It wasn't like everyone was trying to contradict the plans of someone, they were just pointing out the obvious flaws on the plan.

So far though, no one had been able to propose a good plan. Almost every proposal that starts great will ultimately ends up in a confrontation which will cause them to lose their lead and won't allow them to get rid of the Exiles.

Nevertheless, the discussion continued. Even the War Gods themselves pitched in once or twice and some of them had a good plan but ultimately it just all ended up the same.

The Sect Master and the Grand Elder watched this scene but didn't do anything to stop it. Just like what the Grand Elder said, he preferred the meeting to be filled with discussion and brainstorming rather than overall silence.

Of course, this doesn't mean that they weren't thinking of plans too. They too understand the value of the lead Raven brought to them. They can't afford to be careless about it since none of them knows if they'll be able to have this kind of lead in the future once more.

The meeting went for a long time. Most of the people were aware of how long it has been going on and could agree that the meeting had never been so lively before. Everyone was pitching ideas no matter who they were, but ultimately there was one person who had been silent for a while now.

Henry, Logan, Theo, Charles, the Sect Master and Grand Elder had been waiting for Raven to say something but from the looks of it, he was completely satisfied with just allowing the others to pitch in their ideas.

They even caught him smirking to himself every once in a while and would notice that every time he did so, it would ne when the current idea being discussed was going quite well.

Despite that, seeing how he's currently carrying himself. They knew - no, they were sure that he probably had a good idea, and since this is Raven they're talking about, then his idea must be perfected already, after all he wouldn't settle down for anything less.

This is why most of them were just waiting for him to speak. But just like what was mentioned, it seems that Raven was satisfied to let others discuss ideas on their own.

In the end, the Sect Master concluded the meeting. Telling them to give this matter a thought. When everyone was gone, they saw Raven smiling at them and knew what it meant.

”Okay, they're gone now.” Henry said, ”So? Out with it. What do you have in mind?”

”I'm going to set them free.” Raven declared.

”Huh!?”
