Chapter 164: Flexibility
Even though the Harpies had knohere Halcyon Wing Streak was, they didn’t try to catch hi Phantoed locations either Even though Kelesda had lost his ability to precisely track Su Chen after Su Chen had robbed the high-class region of the city, Eternal Night’s spies were still able to pin Su Chen’s location to his residence This gave Eternal Night the impression that he hadn’t lost control of the situation yet
That was, right until this moment
Just as the Zhu Clan arrived and the Harpies were about to spring their trap, Su Chen had suddenly disappeared
He had vanished fro at for quite a while now and disappeared without a trace
This her up Harpies feel incredibly vexed
Why had he just up and left?
Even when he was being chased by Kelesda or when a Desolate Beast attacked the city, he hadn’t tried to escape in either of those situations But now that everything had calic was that?
And no matter what Su Chen’s intentions could possibly be, Eternal Night suddenly found hiinal plan, Halcyon Wing Streak should have had a strong connection to the Zhu Clan’s members And so once the Zhu Clan was in their hands, they would have grabbed Halcyon Wing Streak by the throat
Even if it was impossible for them to force Su Chen to surrender with just that, they should have been at least able to negotiate soht the opportunity to force Su Chen’s hand and plan out the situation accordingly
If he viewed theht could ask for an incredibly high price Even if he didn’t view theht could pressure the Zhu Clan and make them feel as if they had been thrown to the wayside Perhaps then they would be willing to give Eternal Night some more information on Su Chen, such as the other party’s identity or weak points
In any case, the Zhu Clan’s arrival should have given Eternal Night ed to account for was a situation where the Zhu Clan had arrived, while he had suddenly lost the ability to contact Su Chen
What could he do if he couldn’t contact Su Chen?
The only ansas that his plan would suddenly become much more complicated
If the plan had blatantly failed, then he could have iiven the command to wipe out the Zhu Clan However, the plan had obviously not failed yet as Eternal Night wasinto contact with Su Chen He had no idea what Su Chen’s reaction to this neould be Killing them off like this was indeed a bit inappropriate
But it was also impossible to say that the plan was a success
It wasn’t a failure, but neither was it a success The matter remained completely unresolved, so no one knehat to do
“You searched the surroundings too, right?” Eternal Night asked
“We did He was here the whole tin Inferno’s son, he didn’t return,” reported the official responsible for watching Su Chen The official understood how to delegate responsibility, and he was thethat his subordinates had done a bad job As such, had he pushed the responsibility of observing Golden Blaze onto his own shoulders
“Inferno’s son……” Eternal Night muttered “Do you think this is related?”
Kelesda pondered the question for a ht have discovered the Harpies watching hih to stay there was because of his Light Shaking Phantoated him in the past, I found out that this technique of his relies on the use of blood clones to activate Thus, only he can use it Whitetower Teleportation can bring others along, but he can only teleport at most a thousand feet with that skill, and so he won’t be able to fully escape If Halcyon Wing Streak wants to save Sovereign Inferno’s son, then he wouldn’t be able to use Light Shaking Phanto with that brat”
Soood excuse for Su Chen’s disappearance
Eternal Night’s expression was dark “That makes sense But the problem is that we cannot contact him, so our plan is still impossible to carry out”
Kelesda replied, “I’ Streak is still in the city He is probably still thinking about a way to get Sovereign Inferno’s son out of here In sos with careful consideration, and he seems to be muchon the inforure out a way to do it without contacting hiht said, “You mean……”
“Announce it publicly,” Kelesda declared
If they couldn’t find hi as he was still in Sky City, then neould inevitably reach hiht wasn’t a full proponent for this plan because Halcyon Wing Streak’s identity of being a hu a public announcement that he had captured the Zhu Clan would definitely involve him in a political stor well, and they were often involved in conflicts over borders However, they were not at war at theone, especially given that they had just fought a gruesome battle with a Desolate Beast Of course, they had also ed to earn quite a bit fro the Desolate Beast’s corpse and the rest of the slain Deth, however, would take tiht had no interest in starting a ith the hu that he had captured the Zhu Clan was essentially the sa the humans the hilt of a sword
But he really couldn’t think of a better way
After a ht said, “Let’s do it a little more diplomatically Don’t say that we captured theuests Also, invite some of the other nearby diplo our victory over the Desolate Beasts We’ll hold a three-day celebration Also, tell the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion to upgrade their service for a little bit so as to n parties”
“Your Majesty is truly wise,” all of the officials echoed back
