"Naturally, the [Soul Cores]

​"!!!"

​"Whaaa—! How!?" What have you planned? Rahu, stop beating around the bushes!!" Vivianne spoke, pulling Rahu's other hand like a child. Truly, one shouldn't test a woman's curiosity.

​Rahu smiled, seeing her act like that. He separated Zira from his nefarious hands and straightened his clothes.

​"Alright, send a message to Seris. Tell her to come as quickly as she can," Rahu said, looking at Vivianne with a serious expression. "Also, tell her to bring Lian along", he added at last.

​Saying that, he sent Karma off to relay the message.

​After a few minutes, the figures of Seris and Lian became visible.

​Seris was visibly excited; she was practically skipping steps. When she saw him, she dashed forward and hugged him tightly.

​"Kyaa!! My shining knight, you look extra handsome today!!"

​Seri's eyes were shining as she looked at Rahu, like a golden retriever would…for food.

​"Mhm, it seems you have already practised your buttery lines. This one was smooth," Rahu nodded.

​Saying that, he took out a vial, the same one that contained the Virgin Yin of the physique owner.

​Seeing this vial, Seri's heart skipped a beat. This was it! It was the real deal. But

​"But, H-how!? You even obtained this in just a week!?"

​Her mind was a mess. Half of it was urging her to snatch it from him, but the other half was actually scared that he pulled this off in just a week. A week! Most people didn't actually know how dangerous and incredibly difficult this stunt was.

​She, more than anyone, knew it. She had been trying to obtain this for the past 50 years! Let alone the method of extraction, no amount of plans or ideas ever came close to success because Azaria was always guarded by many bodyguards and even a high-realm cultivator!

​"That is not important right now. Go over there and sit down," Rahu said, ignoring her question and gesturing to her to sit quietly.

​"S-senior Rahu! You were right! Everything lined up really perfectly!! Y-you are a genius!!" Lian too arrived and dropped straight to bootlicking.

​"Mhm"

​"Now, all of you sit across from me. The main part of the plan begins now", Rahu said, his tone turning a bit serious.

​Seeing that expression, everybody understood they were going to do something big! Again!

​Even Karma dropped her fruit on the plate—reluctantly, and listened to Rahu.

​"According to my knowledge, House Ravencar must be preparing right now to invade the House Crimson. It may happen in two weeks. And I have gotten all the information I need from Azaria about their forces." Rahu paused. Letting the information sink in.

​Vivianne's eyes widened in horror as realisation shone within her forest green eyes. Now it made sense! This bastard had somehow cleverly diverted House Ravencar's blade and shifted right at House Crimson!

​Lian and Seris were faring no better. A chill ran down their spine.

​But the question still remains, how the fuck!? And when did the Ravencar's become so dumb that they can't see through this simple diversion tactic?

​"I'll explain the details later," Rahu said in a tone that stopped them from asking further questions.

​"We will split into three groups—Seris, Vivianne, and Lian in one; Zira and Karma in another; and I will act alone" He paused. The group nodded, accepting their roles.

​"Seris, buy highly addictive aphrodisiacs and beast-luring incense in bulk. We will be needing those. Vivianne, you help Seris. There are other minor materials. Lian, I'll need the same formation but on an extremely large scale, minimum 200 miles, so list down all the items we need and give them to me," he paused.

​This...was a bit difficult to pull off considering the sheer magnitude of fire they were playing with. Hearing all the roles, Seris, Vivianne and Lian nodded, the only problem in all of this was–

​"Yes, I understand. I'll arrange the required capital in a week, so start the preparations." Rahu naturally understood it. This type of stuff requires a huge amount of capital, excluding the formation.

​"Zira and Karma immediately depart to Crimson territory and complete the task I had postponed for you"

​Looking specifically at Zira, he ordered.

​"As you command, Master!" Zira bowed; this time, her voice and posture radiated true reverence!

​"Karma assist her. I'll meet up with you guys in a few days, and let me say this clearly: if you sense something is wrong, retreat. Retreat immediately, no need to take foolish risks"

​He said, dismissing them.

​"And finally, Lian, your role is the most dangerous and risky. This is your last chance to back out. I can find another formation master" Rahu looked at Lian and spoke.

​Hearing that, Lian instantly dropped to his knees and bowed.

​"Boss!! All my life, I had endured jeers and laughter about my formation being useless and weak, but you showed me a new path. A strong path, no matter what happens, I won't betray you nor fail at my task," Lian spoke with…conviction.

​Seeing that Rahu smiled, this is exactly the effect he had wanted.

​"Good, I'm pleased. If you succeed, you'll be rewarded handsomely"

​"I ask for nothing more"

​Nodding his head, he dismissed all of them and sat alone on the chair.

​"Just you wait. Once I rise to power, this entire continent will be beneath my feet!"

​He said, speaking to no one in particular.

​…

At night

​Rahu stood in front of a huge residence. It was elegant and luxurious. He was carrying a bag in his hand that contained two bottles.

​"That arrogant, high-maintenance bitch! She'll surely be the end of me someday" Rahu's forehead creased with black lines, his heart bleeding with the sense of loss.

​Four fucking high-grade Mana crystals! He had spent four fucking high-grade Mana crystals to buy these bottles of alcohol, just to have a chat with her. He swore that when he became stronger, he would definitely teach her a good lesson!

​"You may enter."

​Just as he was about to knock, a melodious voice echoed.​
