Will the Mysterious Group Take Lucius’ Bait?

The vial's aura began to grow stronger than before. Lucius could feel it clearly that the aura had grown by doubled.

He held it up and examined it closely. He then smirked. "This will surely bait them. There's no way they'll suspect anything less than the real deal."

He leaned back slightly. He was calculating the odds. "Before, the chances of success were around 50% at best. But now? I'd say it's closer to 90%. They'll be convinced this essence is genuine."

But still, he was still irritated, knowing that he needed to use 100 million hack points for the plan.

Even though he had plenty of points remaining, it wasn't something he could easily overlook.

His smirk faded as he clenced his fist. "Whoever you are. I'll make sure you pay for this. Every last hack point."

Lucius began to calm down. There was no point in dwelling on the loss now. The trap was set, and soon the mysterious group would come for the bait.
