"Ah, I know what you want to say, Ling. But this is completely unfounded. In the end, it's just an unrealistic fantasy. At this point, it's impossible to stop our plan because of this fantasy. Ling, you should understand this, right?"

"Of course I know..."

The little girl hung her head low and managed to squeeze out these words.

"Since that's the case, then what is the reason for the Flowsis Palace hiding this matter?"

Maybe to ease the tension, Ricky, who rarely spoke, inquired in this way.

And so, the topic reverted back to its original point.

"Well, this is related to what I just said."

"Related to the reason for the auction house explosion?"

"Yes, by now, they should also know that the culprit is a teenage boy wearing sunglasses. But unlike us, their intelligence only goes this far, meaning they don't know the boy's true identity. Even though we have this information, it's still just speculation without any evidence."

"Those without knowledge of the identity cannot be exposed, otherwise it will only cause unnecessary chaos, is that the meaning?"

"Yes, and especially at this time."

"At this time?"

"Ah, though it's just a coincidence, that incident happens to be almost at the same time as the TV station incident we planned. We can know that the auction house incident has nothing to do with us, but what will others think? How will ordinary people think?"

"They will just mix the two incidents together and consider them both acts of terrorists."

"Yes, that's right. Instead of causing unnecessary panic, it's better to keep it under wraps."

"True."

Ricky nodded in agreement, but the man in black's words continued.

"However, there is another even more important reason behind this."

"Another reason?"

"Yes, this is what those people fear the most. For them, this is worse than civilian panic, and it may even shake the foundation of this country."

"Shake the foundation of this country?"

"Ah, Ricky should know, right? About what happened three years ago..."

"Of course, it can't be forgotten. Is it related to that incident?"

"No, I don't know about that."

Upon hearing this, the muscular man couldn't help but be confused.

"You don't know either?"

"Actually, whether it's related or not is irrelevant. The key is how the people will perceive it."

Fiose Elena interjected with the answer.

"Yes, people will naturally link this to the incident three years ago, isn't that the meaning?"

"Ah, that's exactly it. Once the people do so, history is likely to repeat itself. Three years ago, because of that incident, this country was thrown into turmoil."

"So, this is what the people on the Flowsis Palace side fear the most? It's for this reason..."

The woman nodded thoughtfully.

"Alright, let's end the discussion here."

The man in black clapped his hands and spoke again.

"Now, let me briefly explain the future course of action. Though unexpected individuals have caused changes to the plan, I have a general idea of what to do."

"Our strategist is truly admirable to have figured it out so quickly."

The big, muscular man, no, Ricky, expressed his sincere admiration.
