Chapter 224: Another Plan (part 2)

Argon nodded, pleased with his subordinates' comprehension. "Precisely," he replied. "However, we must ensure that they do not suspect our involvement in this matter. I want them to believe that this idea was born of their own accord."

Tan Zong, the calm and calculating one, stepped forward, his mind already forming a plan. "I shall take it upon myself to approach Alix discreetly," he suggested. "As the City Lord, I am respected and seen as a good person, despite my true nature. Alix trusts me, and I can offer to guide him in selecting a suitable location for their conflict."

Argon's smile widened at Azrael's proposal. "Excellent, Tan Zong. You are the perfect candidate for this task. Make sure to be persuasive and assure him that this suggestion comes from a place of neutrality."

Tan Zong bowed respectfully. "I understand, My Lord. I shall handle the matter with utmost discretion."
