After a night of contemplation, Cyclone went through each step carefully in his mind. In the end, Cyclone even simulated it in his head. The changes in this plan were drastic, far beyond what was achieved in the previous performance in the throne room. Thinking about it, Cyclone couldn't help but smile. Daniel actually managed to arrange his plan like this, keeping everything under control and ultimately achieving his goal. Cyclone sighed, realizing that no matter how hard he tried, he could never match Daniel's meticulousness. However, even so, Cyclone had things he could do on his own. This time, it wasn't just Cyclone alone, but also the help of five wives and the leader and others. Cyclone just needed to come up with a rough strategy, and let the leader think about the details together. With the direction of his thoughts set, Cyclone began to set target lines for each step of the plan. Despite the significant changes, Cyclone believed that as long as he could reach the target line each time, he should be able to reach the finish line in the end.

After thinking it through, Cyclone simulated it in his head again until he deemed it feasible. Then, Cyclone went to the leader.

Inside the temple, there was no one else but Cyclone and the leader. "Can you really pull off this plan?" the leader asked. "What do you think?" Cyclone replied with a firm gaze, causing the leader to hesitate this time. "Although I had already guessed that you had intentions to kill the Twilight King, I didn't expect you to do so without hesitation," the leader remarked. "There's no need to hesitate. I'm not a good person. For me, only by his death can we eliminate future troubles," Cyclone stated firmly. "Indeed, I also doubt that the sister lover would change his determination with just a few words." "If he dies, then Elyse will be free," Cyclone added. "But he's still Elyse's brother, isn't he?" the leader teased with a smirk. "I know, but even if he's her brother, so what?" Cyclone showed no sign of wavering, completely disregarding any sibling bond between Elyse and him.

"I don't know why you're questioning me like this, but I'm not interested in playing the games of kindness and compassion," Cyclone stated, looking directly into the leader's eyes, expressing his intentions clearly. "I want to end it all at once, without leaving any troubles behind." The leader also locked eyes with Cyclone, sensing his determination. Finally, after a moment of contemplation, the leader opened his eyes. "Alright then," he agreed. With the approval in place, the leader raised his right hand, motioning for a guard outside the temple to come in. "However, I have a better way to protect your wives," the leader suggested. As the guard arrived, the leader instructed to call someone named Godyo to ask some questions.

And so, Cyclone arranged everything accordingly. With the leader's help in certain details, the plan became more refined. Although there were still many unknown factors at play, Cyclone believed he could keep it under control for the most part. After all preparations were made, Cyclone left work early and went home to Elyse. With a smile on his face, Cyclone approached her, complaining about her still napping. Standing by her bed, Cyclone said, "Though a bit late, let's go on a date." "A date?" Elyse was taken aback by Cyclone's sudden decision. "Yes, a date!" Cyclone confirmed. "But, but..." Elyse hesitated. "What's wrong? Are you rejecting your husband's proposal?" Cyclone picked up a bag from the floor and took out a piece of clothing from it. "Though rushed, I picked out an outfit for you to wear out." It was a simple maternity dress. Carefully helping Elyse put it on and tidying her messy hair after just waking up, Cyclone's unexpected kindness made Elyse smile unconsciously. "What's gotten into you today?" she asked, though still feeling puzzled. "What's gotten into me? Well, I'm like this every day, my dear wife," Cyclone said playfully as he embraced Elyse from behind and gently kissed her cheek. "Forget about everything now, let's go on a date first."
