Chapter 263 263 The Scheme

It was clear that they both held Ni Yang in high regard, and the last thing they wanted was to disappoint him.

Monica was the first to respond, her tone more conciliatory. "You're right, Nexus. We shouldn't be fighting over something that's beyond our control. I value Ni Yang's guidance and friendship more than anything."

Selina nodded in agreement, a smile forming on her lips. "I agree. We shouldn't let jealousy come between us, especially when we both care about Ni Yang."n--o-/v()E/)l/-b((1-.n

Nexus, pleased with their understanding and willingness to maintain a cordial relationship, smiled warmly. "That's the spirit. Ni Yang values your friendship, and I'm sure he'd be glad to see you both getting along."

As the tension eased and the they continued their conversation.

As Selina and Monica heard Nexus's words, they both nodded in agreement, their expressions becoming more solemn as they realized the gravity of the situation. They respected and trusted Ni Yang's guidance and were willing to follow his instructions.

Selina was the first to respond, her voice steady. "We understand, Nexus. If Ni Yang believes that this is the best course of action, we will stand by it."

Monica echoed her sentiments. "Yes, we trust Ni Yang's judgment. We'll do whatever it takes to protect the Russells and follow your lead, Nexus."

Nora looked at Nexus with a determined expression. "We're all in this together, and we trust your decisions. We'll support you every step of the way."

Madeline nodded in agreement. "Absolutely. If Ni Yang has given you his trust, then we do too."

Nexus couldn't help but feel a sense of gratitude toward the Russells and the growing bond among them. It was a challenging situation they faced, but their unity and trust gave him hope.

He continued, "I'm glad to have your support. But I want to assure you that you won't be risking your lives without protection. Ni Yang has provided me with a powerful artifact that can safeguard all of us during this mission."

Selina and Monica visibly relaxed upon hearing this, knowing that they wouldn't be facing danger unprepared.

Monica expressed her satisfaction. "That's a relief, Nexus. We're ready to face this challenge head-on."

Selina chimed in, "We understand the necessity of this plan. If Ni Yang were directly involved in the fight and we failed to eliminate Fitch, the Howard family would forever consider him their mortal enemy."

Nexus appreciated their trust and cooperation. "Exactly, we need to handle this situation delicately. With your support, I'm confident we can accomplish our mission"

Nexus began explaining the intricate details of his plan to the group. He knew that the key to their success was luring Fitch into the vicinity of the deadly octopus monster. He started by recounting how he had come across the monstrous creature during one of his hunting expeditions.

"I found this octopus monster during one of my hunts," Nexus began. "It's a formidable and deadly creature. It possesses incredible strength and agility. Its tentacles can crush almost anything in their grasp, and it's virtually invulnerable to magic. The octopus monster is our secret weapon against Fitch because it's the only entity that can potentially defeat him."

The four women listened intently, their faces showing a mix of concern and anticipation.

Nexus continued, "But here's the catch: the octopus monster resides deep within a treacherous forest, and its territory is filled with perilous traps. Getting Fitch there won't be easy, and we need a convincing reason to draw him into such a dangerous location."

Nexus continued "Our main objective is to lure Fitch into the vicinity of the octopus monster. This is a risky plan, but it's the most effective way to neutralize him without direct confrontation."

Selina and Monica exchanged glances, realizing the complexity of the plan. They both knew that this mission involved high stakes and was fraught with danger.

Monica voiced her concerns. "It's a bold plan, Nexus, but also risky. We'll need to be careful and precise in our execution. Any misstep could cost us dearly."

Nexus nodded in agreement. "You're absolutely right, Monica. This plan leaves us with little room for error, which is why we must all be on the same page."

Selina, determined to ensure the success of their mission, spoke up. "We're committed to this, Nexus. Just guide us, and we'll follow your lead."

"We're all in this together," Madeline said with a sense of resolve. "Our family's safety is our top priority, and we trust your leadership, Nexus."

As Nexus explained further, his plan began to take shape. He looked at Selina and Monica, a thoughtful expression on his face. After a moment of contemplation, he had an idea that could be pivotal to their success.

Nexus suggested, "I have an idea that might enhance our plan. I suggest we orchestrate a clever ruse. The two of you can pretend to have a heated argument over Ni Yang, making it seem as though Selina has decided to sever her ties with the Russell family. Fitch must be convinced that Selina is no longer a part of our alliance. In doing so, the Howards will likely focus their attention on Madeline."

Selina and Monica exchanged intrigued glances. It was a clever way to divert Fitch's attention away from their real objectives.

Selina and Monica exchanged glances, processing the plan Nexus had outlined.

Selina spoke first, her voice firm. "I understand the importance of this ruse, Nexus. If it helps ensure the safety of the family and the success of the mission, then I'm willing to go along with it."

Monica had her own clandestine agenda in mind as Nexus and Selina discussed the plan. She contemplated her next move, devising a scheme that would allow her to manipulate the situation to her advantage.

Inwardly, she thought, "This plan is just the beginning. I've got to ensure that the power dynamic shifts in my favor."

Monica decided to voice her thoughts, subtly hinting at her concealed plan. "Nexus, I understand the need to create a convincing conflict, but we can't underestimate Fitch. He's not a gullible old man who can be easily fooled.

To make this ruse truly effective, we must go big and bold. I propose that we make it a spectacle, something that extends beyond Fitch's immediate reach. We should make this conflict a city-wide event, ensuring that not only Fitch's men but the entire city gets wind of the Russell family's dispute with Selina."

Her suggestion was met with a mixture of surprise and curiosity from the others. Monica was known for her practical and straightforward approach, but her idea suggested a more elaborate scheme

Selina, perceptive as always, couldn't help but notice that Monica might have her own intentions behind her words. In her own mind, she wondered about Monica's hidden agenda. The young mage had always been shrewd and had her ways of achieving her goals, sometimes keeping her true motives concealed.

Nexus considered Monica's idea, acknowledging the wisdom in creating a grand spectacle. He turned to Monica, asking for more details about how she envisioned this city-wide conflict.

"Monica, I agree that we should escalate the visibility of this conflict, but could you provide us with more insights into your plan?"
