Ma Lu spoke with ease, but accomplishing his goal was not so simple.
One very real problem was if Hero Group got the box and immediately returned to Xindu, choosing to open it at the school, then it would be very difficult for Hou De to snatch the box back.
This was because, with Hero Group's manpower and influence in Xindu, Hou De had no chance of winning when fighting on foreign territory.
Ma Lu's solution to this problem was very straightforward and crude.
——He affixed another Secret Charm to the box.
Now the box had two Secret Charms, requiring two people to open it.
As long as Hero didn't tear off another charm, Ma Lu wouldn't tear off this one. Even if Hero Group took the box back to Xindu, they'd have to obediently bring it back.
At worst, they could just keep stalling. After all, he wasn't the one in a hurry for the box's contents. Moreover, Ma Lu had an advantage: each day they stalled, the students' strength grew by leaps and bounds.
