Max is a Level 1 Liquidation Wizard, and Herag finds it relatively easy to kill him.

However, controlling him is not as easy, especially while ensuring the contents of the three-story building remain intact.

This task is difficult to execute; a single mistake could result in the loss of evidence.

Herag has never observed the small attic closely, but judging from Max's strict precautions, there must be a contingency plan, and he shouldn't act rashly.

Considering everything, Herag realized that with his current abilities and methods, he is unable to completely control the situation.

It is time to report the information to Pries.

Handing over the collected intelligence to Pries at this time ensures that no matter how the subsequent handling of Max and Luqi proceeds, he will earn significant merit.

But if he acts against Max and Luqi, and any unforeseen circumstances arise, or if he overlooks anything, it could turn a good deed into a bad one.

At that point, instead of getting a reward, he might even face punishment, making things counterproductive.

Herag took out the Talisman Stone and informed Pries of the situation he had gathered.

"You're at the Kawat Commercial District now?" Pries asked after reviewing the information.

"That's right, I'm in a tavern now, not getting close to them anymore," Herag replied.

Herag only reported the situation he discovered about Luqi, without elaborating on Max's situation.

According to normal reconnaissance methods, he couldn't have entered the three-story building without being detected.

Therefore, Herag didn't say much about the situation inside the three-story building, only mentioning that Luqi went inside for a while and then came out.

In his statement, Herag made modifications to every part to better align with the typical reconnaissance methods of a Level 1 Liquidation Wizard.

Many of the information he conveyed was quite rough; it's impossible for a normal person to understand things as thoroughly as if they were under surveillance.

From Herag's description, it appeared he discovered Luqi because a beggar gave him a wood carving, leading him to figure things out, up to Luqi entering the small building.

He didn't elaborate on his reconnaissance methods, only stating his findings.

Pries typically wouldn't ask, as every wizard always has some small tricks, which is normal.

Pries replied, "Good, do not alert them for now. After we have planned everything, we'll take action and aim to capture them with the least cost possible. During this time, continue to monitor the movements within the building and inform me immediately if anyone leaves."

"Understood," Herag replied.

It seems like he won't be able to go back for a while, needing to monitor Max's actions here.

Herag held the Talisman Stone and sent Reese a message: "I'll be on a mission outside for the next few days and won't be back, take care of yourself at home."

"Do you need my help?" Reese asked.

Monitoring Max only required Herag to activate Shenlan's environmental detection, Reese's presence would only make an additional target more noticeable.

He replied, "No, it's easier for me to hide alone."

"Got it, then stay safe," Reese understood Herag's implication and instructed accordingly.

After putting down the Talisman Stone, Herag planned to stay around the area for the next few days.

After all, Kawat Commercial District is bustling with people, so he wouldn't appear out of place and wouldn't attract attention, nor would he draw the notice of Max and Luqi.

To this day, neither of them has faced Herag directly; they're completely unaware that they've exposed themselves to Serlandir.

After receiving Herag's message, Pries immediately halted his work and summoned several organization members, beginning to discuss the specifics.

"Minister Pries, is the information reliable?" asked a member named Shaq.

Pries nodded, "The information comes from our own people, so there shouldn't be any issues. But we also need to send people to verify the specifics to facilitate subsequent arrangements. Herag is watching over there, and there's nothing unusual for now."

"I'll go then; reconnaissance is my specialty," Shaq volunteered.

He's a Level 1 Crystalization Wizard specializing in Shadow Element, frequently engaged in intelligence reconnaissance work.

Pries nodded, "Yes, Shaq, you're a suitable choice. First, go investigate the residence there. I found out the owner is named Max, a renowned Wood Carver. I suspect he's hiding many abilities and methods. Be careful during reconnaissance, absolutely avoid exposure and detection."

"We're in the dark, he's in the light; this is our advantage, and we absolutely cannot let them become aware before taking action."

"Understood, Minister," Shaq nodded, always careful and cautious in his work.

Pries trusts him comparatively, without excessive worry.

"Additionally, we need to assign someone to keep an eye on Luqi. He's just a Second-Class Wizard Apprentice, so we don't need to handle him urgently, just keep an eye on him. Naya, you go," Pries continued to arrange.

Naya, a quiet girl wearing glasses with the power of a Level 1 Liquidation Wizard, nodded, "Yes, Minister."

"Next, let's discuss the specific combat plan," Pries continued, "Max's residence is located in the central area of Kawat Commercial District, surrounded by heavy traffic. When we initiate action, we must strive to catch him off guard to capture him instantly, giving him no time to react and no opportunity to resist. Otherwise, it may cause harm to the surrounding residents."

On the table before Pries was a map, marked with the location of Max's residence and some surrounding terrains.

"Evacuate in advance?" someone suggested.

Pries shook his head, "Impossible. What's the excuse for evacuation? Max will inevitably detect something under such circumstances; it's not entirely possible to conceal it from him."

"From this perspective, if the action is not swift enough, we might inadvertently impact the surrounding people," Naya frowned.

Pries nodded, "Correct, this is the most important issue. I will personally intervene at that time..."

After discussing and consulting with the crowd about the specific details of the plan, Pries sent people off to complete their tasks.

An invisible net began to spread, arranged around Max, although he hadn't detected any of this transpiring.

After drinking at the tavern until midnight, Herag went to a nearby inn to get a room.

This inn is actually right across from Max's residence, only separated by a commercial street.
