In the room on the second floor, new sofas and coffee tables had been arranged all around. The Thirteen Golden Masks were gathered together, each with their own mask placed by their side.
"Eat some grapes, Fiona Fox. I've peeled them for you."
Dominic Bixby handed Fiona Fox a peeled grape. She opened her mouth and ate it, clearly enjoying herself.
"So sweet!"
"Alright, esteemed sirs and madams, this is the successful result of our current research. It now possesses a physical form. This white humanoid figure is the core of the plan—I've already explained the details before, so I won't repeat them."
"What exactly are the chances of success?"
Luke Ling stood up, his face full of resentment.
"This time we've mobilized everyone—all twelve of us have come out. We’re probably completely exposed by now. The Underworld Court has people watching the living world around the clock."
"Lord Ling, rest assured. The odds were low before, but now that you’ve brought back the necessary items from the Nether Syndicate, it’s just a matter of time before this body can move—able to walk in the sunlight."
At this moment, Ms. Genesis sat between Warren Qi and another, the two glaring at each other, itching for a fight.
"What about John Chou? Since the twelve of us are gathered here, we could just take him out right now."
Zuo Quanyi said this, and at that moment, the usually reserved Roy Lee stood up.
"We're not here to start a fight. Even if we win, if a battle breaks out, we'll be stuck for a while. The Underworld Court would love to see that happen."
"Zuo Quanyi, do you ever get tired of shouting about fighting and killing all the time?"
Fiona Fox muttered sarcastically, and Dominic Bixby immediately chimed in.
"That's right, Miss Fox is absolutely right. You Warrior Faction types are way too obsessed with killing. Let's settle this peacefully for once."
Dominic Bixby paused, his eyes flashing coldly, then continued.
"But everything must be for the benefit of the Immortality Society. The warlords everywhere are getting restless—now's the time to look for the best candidates. Would you risk the Society's safety over something so trivial? I absolutely won't allow it."
"So, may I ask, do you have a way to get this would-be human without a fight?"
Luke Ling asked.
