On the opposite side of the spectrum, Hezti remained in the luxurious mid-level villa at Elys-Champ, engaged in a lengthy conversation with Maria and Zeba. The decision to present Morgana with the Empty City Strategy had been made, but there were still numerous details to iron out.
Maria, addressing Hezti respectfully, expressed her concerns, “Young Master, the concept of Empty City strategy is truly brilliant. However, the only risk lies in the possibility that the three elders might arrive in Aurous Hill before Morgana pays attention to the Master’s portrait. How should we handle that situation?”
Hezti grinned and assured her, “Don’t worry, the hottest trend on TikTok right now is the Wade Family’s industry. I’ll find a way to deliver this painting to the Painting and Calligraphy Association this morning. Within a few hours, it’ll naturally create a buzz. As long as Morgana is still keeping an eye on Aurous Hill, she’s bound to come across it.”
After conveying his thoughts, Hezti added, “I presume that if what Miss Salazar said is true, Morgana will indeed send the three elders. It’s likely they’ll depart soon.”
Maria nodded in agreement and added, “Traveling from the edge of Antarctica to China is a considerable distance. It’s improbable for them to use ultra-long-range airliners on their island. Thus, they must first head to Argentina, most probably en route right now.”
Glancing at the time, Hezti remarked with a smile, “If they’re efficient, they might have already taken off for China by the time it’s seven or eight o’clock in the morning here.”
Pausing for a moment, Hezti continued, “Once they board the plane to China, I’ll publicly reveal Lord Morvel’s paintings. Morgana will undoubtedly summon them back in a hurry. At that point, these three individual’s mental states will likely crumble.”
Maria nodded in agreement, her smile widening. “These three elders have secluded themselves for a century, on the brink of success, only to be abruptly called back by Morgana to fulfill a task. Naturally, they will harbor discontent in their hearts. It’s only human nature.”
Both Hezti and Zeba concurred with Maria’s perspective.
