Luca and his team had engaged in an urgent communication under the cover of night after their unexpected discovery.
Meanwhile, in the heart of Lakeside City, Zenobia and Councilor Devitt were celebrating their success. Their plans had gone remarkably well.
In truth, all the unexpected setbacks Luca and his team had encountered had been carefully orchestrated by Devitt himself.
"Luca and Nova must have let their guard down by now. If things go as expected, they will launch an attack on Lakeside City tomorrow. When they do, we can use the traps in the outskirts to weaken them even further," Devitt said with a smug smile, his voice dripping with confidence.
"Once their strength is sufficiently reduced, we'll be able to strike directly. At that point, we'll wipe them out in the battle for good," he continued, his mind already racing ahead to the victory he believed was imminent.
