40 Beginning of a Plo (2/2)

How strong is Christian?

No one knew.

Ayesha did not know what cultivation level he was due to the fact that she had manage to stay away from him during her time at school.

To make matters even more disappointing was that even Anne and Pierre didn't know.

This one unknown information cause immense worry for Dean as he guessed that Christian may have used external items such as pills to propel his cultivation.

If those materials are paired up with a good cultivation manual then Dean wouldn't be surprised if Christian was at the Spiritual Transformation level.

Plan one could work as he had Leonard on his side to probably create a strong poison.

With the materials from the Earth Endowing Tortoise and the promised pills, Dean thought that he could possibly trade those in for a deadly poison.

However because he didn't consult with Leonard beforehand, Dean was not confident in his skills in creating poison.

He knew that Leonard is highly skilled in alchemy with great benefits for a cultivator but wasn't sure of the opposite end.

Therefore, the first plan didn't seem like it could work.

Dean has seen Christian attempt to escape twice and had one success.

Christian seemed to love weird talismans as he used those talismans to escape a battle if he felt the situation was too dire.

The first time this happened was with the fight against a golem and the second time was against a Spiritual Transformation Beast

If they wanted to use the second plan then that means they must have an array, similar to what the golem had that is able to restrict the use of talismans.

Finding a person who was an expert in arrays and was willing to keep a shut mouth would be extremely difficult.

What made it more difficult besides an Array Master was having the ability to get Christian alone.

From Anne and Pierre's experience.

Christian will usually hang out with Rose and any friends in order to strengthen bonds while keeping his romance alive.

It was very common to see him reviewing papers of the Autarch Society's funding in the library.

With all this information combined, Dean came to the conclusion that it was very unlikely for Christian to go outside of school areas.

Because of that, they couldn't bring Christian to a ”hidden location”

Finally it came to the third plan that Dean was most insistent on.

Anne, Pierre and Ayesha were easily persuaded as this idea was the most flexible yet vague plan that had a lot of room to change.

The very last idea was:

Kill with a borrowed knife.

Why should they put their lives in danger when they can spark conflict between Christian and a third party who would willing do all the work.

Even if this third party wasn't willing to kill Christian, Dean could at least learn a bit about Christian if they manage to put him on the edge of trouble.

Altogether they agreed to this one plan and started investing.

Dean wanted to talk with Ayesha and held onto her shoulder but she immediately brushed it off.

Glaring, she told Dean

”This is just business.”
