Alaric vs Lauriel Battle of Wits

Everyone counted every minute that passed in tension. Alaric arranged the movements of some of his personal bodyguards and his four foster children so that they would immediately be divided into two designated locations.

He realized that his enemy would definitely focus on guarding the hospital more than the other location, so he had to outwit them by making them think otherwise. There was no other way.

Lauriel who was standing by the hospital window, staring out into the sky was immediately stunned when his cellphone suddenly buzzed.

Max was calling him. Hmm, already? ... It's only been 20 minutes, isn't it?

"What's the matter?" he quickly asked.

"Uhm ... they are already here. They arrived sooner than expected." Max answered in a doubtful tone. "Alaric Rhionen came complete with his entourage."

"What?? At the Mandalay Building ?!" Lauriel could not believe his own ears.
