Chapter 268: Plan
"Yes. But the question is: who is Omen among the three? Casey? He is the most suspicious one." Charles frowned.
'Yes, Casey must have the upgraded version of shadow possession skill called Devil's Control. A skill that allows him to directly invade one's Inner World like Shadow consciousness. What if he used those two skills on Larry and Stephen and gained complete control over their soul core?' The Holem's Crown asked.
'But I read in one of Reid's memories that Casey is a Rank-4 [Blood Duke] Class Mystic… Was it fake information? No, he too only heard about it from one of his lackeys…' The frown on his forehead deepened.
Soon, he shook his head and spoke.
"Give me more information about these clones. I will take care of them when the right time comes."
"Yes, Teacher." Jessie nodded her head and then took out a small bundle of scrolls from her space ring.
"I already prepared to give a detailed report about them, Teacher. In these scrolls, I added their name, physical description, age, and their residence numbers. You will have an easy time finding them."
Upon seeing her action, Charles couldn't help but smile.
"Good." He nodded his head, then pondered for a moment and continued.
"Now, let's come to the current problem. How is your mission going?"
"Everything is under control, Teacher. All thirty-five of those nobles are currently enslaved by my spell and are doing their best to show concern and love. But their sudden character change also alerted all of their servants, guards, and their family members." She suddenly paused for a moment as she recalled something and said with a forced smile on her face.
"Two days ago, Count Herald even took out his precious crown and placed it on my head to see how I look… This incident almost caused others to feel wary of me."
"Well, every spell and every skill has weaknesses, lass. You should be careful from now on." He let out a chuckle and then added with a serious look.
"I'm planning to conduct a banquet on coming 30th. I want you to invite all the nobles, mages, and also the Church representatives from this kingdom under the order of Rhea Boneflare. During the banquet, Rhea will give a speech about her hardship, the kingdom's current situation, discrimination between ruler caste people and subordinate class people, and so on. That speech will be quite an emotional one. When she ends the speech, I want all those enslaved nobles to get emotional and change their faction. I want them to come forward on their own accord, kneel in front of Rhea and swear their loyalty."
Upon hearing his words, Jessie's scarlet eyes widened.
"W-Won't it causes suspicion, Teacher? What if the other nobles and royal faction members accuse us?" She asked in a scared tone.
"That's why I'm asking you to invite all the nobles, mages, and Churches' representatives to attend the banquet. No one will get suspicious." Charles said with a smile.
Meanwhile, Jessie stared at her Teacher for a moment and soon asked with a suspicious look on her face.
"Teacher, your aim isn't them… You need their help urgently, right?"
'What a smart kid…' Charles let out a deep sigh and nodded.
"After the banquet, I want each of these nobles to gather their personal troops and do a stealth mission." He said in a grave tone.
"Stealth Mission?" Confusion appeared on Jessie's face.
"Yes, I know the exact location of Divine Order organization's hideouts. Currently, there are more than 14 small hideouts and 6 larger hideouts in this kingdom. I'm giving two days for these nobles to prepare for a large-scale war. On October 2nd, I want these nobles to gather their personal troops, move to their allotted location, invade the enemy's hideout and destroy them before they could even notice. If I'm not wrong, each Noble has at least 5 Rank-3 Mystics, tens of Rank-2 Mystics, and hundreds of Rank-1 Mystics. As long as these Nobles cooperate with us, we can eliminate this Divine Order organization's influence in one night." A smile appeared on Charles's wrinkled face as he said those words.
Meanwhile, Jessie stared blankly at her Teacher for two continuous seconds and then nodded in enlightenment.
'Teacher's aim is not to control the Nobles, but eliminating the criminal organization!' Her guilty heart soothed.
Although she enslaved the corrupted nobles, she still felt guilty for doing a slaving act.
But when she learned her Teacher's goal, she felt relieved inside.
"Good. I will now give you the exact locations of those hideouts. But you must never tell anyone about these hideout locations. No, I want you to hide everything in your Inner World and even erase them memories from your main consciousness. If not, fate-related Mystics like Rhea and Destiny Lady might find some clues about our plan-"
Before Charles could finish his words, Jessie nodded her head in understanding and responded while clenching her fist.
"I will do as you say, Teacher."
There was no hesitation on her pretty face!
"Excellent. I will give you a detailed plan about how to do this mission. You will be the commander of this stealth mission, so you should also buy a bulk amount of long-distance communication and give them to those nobles…"
Charles started teaching how to do a stealth mission.
After a few minutes of explanation, he recalled something important and added.
"I want you to get me a few drops of someone's blood."
"Who?" Jessie raised her eyebrows and asked.
Charles smiled mysteriously and whispered a name.
After that, he told her to hide all information inside her Inner World and sent her out.
Following that, he opened the game interface and looked at the status.

'Haa, the Amber Curse is finally gone… I didn't expect that things would go smoothly.'
Muttering inwardly, Charles shifted his attention towards the broken cloning device and said.
"Mr. Runeth, it's better to start the process now. We need to finish this before the start of the coronation ceremony. Otherwise, our whole plan might fail."
Saying so, he started walking towards it.
