At the top of Redday Tower, a “sun” was designed and constructed, echoing the sun on the flag of Orientia. Utilizing the principles of Breath Form and Bellow Mimic, it symbolized that the flag of Orientia would rise in Deepmere City and even across the land of Atraria. Their sinister intentions were now laid bare!
“Thomas, the people of the Masao family should already be in Deepmere City. Do you know who from the Masao family has come? How many geomancy masters are there?” Even though Leo was angry, he remained clear-headed.
This geomantic formation pillar was probably a long-planned scheme by Orientia. Since World War II, the Orientia people would not act rashly. Leo guessed that the geomancy masters they sent would be experts, and there might be more than one.
“According to reliable sources, Takeshi’s son Hideaki Masao has already arrived in Deepmere City. He is accompanied by more than ten Orientia people, but it’s currently unknown which ones are geomancy masters.”
Capturing the ringleader first, Thomas vaguely guessed Leo’s plan and said solemnly, “Leo, the Orientia people are very shrewd. Our operation this time will likely be challenging. If you need any assistance, please let me know. WONDER and I will spare no effort to support you.”
Leo also understood that the situation was not only significant but also challenging. He nodded, “There are three days left until the 30th. It should be enough time. I’ll start preparing tomorrow. I’ll contact you if there’s anything I need.”
Setting up a geomantic formation pillar must be done before the construction site officially starts. Leo speculated that within three days, the Orientia people would take action.
Leo already had a preliminary plan in mind, with two feasible options:
First, he could go to the construction site in advance and bury a geomancy artifact in the foundation of Redday Tower. Then, he could engage in a long-distance battle with the Orientia geomancy master using the artifact to disrupt their geomantic formation.
The difficulty with the first plan lay in choosing the geomancy artifact. Leo estimated that it would need to be at least a high-quality magical tool; otherwise, the chance of disrupting the Orientia geomancy master’s layout would be too low.
Second, on the day the Orientia geomancy master arranged the geomantic formation, Leo could confront them on-site. As long as he could kill them, the geomantic formation would naturally be disrupted.
Leo felt that the second plan was more feasible, considering the short time frame. With his current cultivation, killing a few Orientia geomancy masters shouldn’t be a problem.
“Thomas, I’ll go to the construction site tomorrow morning to investigate. You keep a close eye on the movements of the Orientia people, and remember not to alert them.”
“The construction site has strict security, although it hasn’t started yet, it’s still difficult for outsiders to enter.” Thomas said mysteriously, “Do you need me to arrange for someone to take you in?”
“No need, I have my own way.” Leo waved his hand.
Jokingly, he could use his escape technique. As long as there were no restrictions, no matter how tight your defense was, he could come and go unnoticed.
A somewhat ambiguous expression appeared on Thomas’s rough face, “Have you thought about it? This person is a beautiful woman!”
“I take back what I said earlier, that can be arranged!” Leo said, and the two men chuckled knowingly.
In a deluxe suite at a five-star hotel in Baofeng District, Deepmere City:
A middle-aged man dressed in a kimono with short hair and a steady face kept waving a katana in his hand.
The sword movements were vigorous and steady, each swing emitting a faint sound of breaking through the air.
In the corner of the room, a man dressed in a white servant’s uniform knelt, resembling a puppet, motionless, with only a humble expression on his face.
The door of the room was knocked, and the man in the kimono swiftly collected the katana in his hand. Then, he saw three candles on the incense table in front of him tilt slightly.
The servant quickly stood up from the ground, took the katana from the man in the kimono, and then bowed to respectfully escort him out of the room.
In the living room outside, the man in the kimono opened the door, and an elderly man with a gaunt face and a black high hat appeared in front of him.
“Mr. Fujiwara, please come in.” The man in the kimono bowed slightly and made a gesture of invitation respectfully.
The two sat facing each other on the sofa after entering. After the servant served tea and left, Mr. Fujiwara, Kazuhiko Fujiwara, took a sip of tea and spoke slowly.
“Hideaki, the scheduled time remains unchanged. Make sure your preliminary work is well-prepared.” Kazuhiko reminded.
The man in the kimono was indeed Hideaki, the son of Takeshi, the head of the Masao family, and also the overall person in charge of this matter.
“Mr. Fujiwara, you can rest assured. Three days later, on the night of the full moon eclipse, everything will depend on your masterful hand.” Hideaki, who was usually arrogant, showed great respect to Kazuhiko.
This time, Takeshi invited the Kazuhiko family’s geomancy master to arrange the geomancy layout for Langstel.
The Kazuhiko family was a prestigious family of geomancy masters in Orientia with a heritage of over a thousand years. In the world of Orientia geomancy, if someone dared to claim second place after the Kazuhiko family, it would be unimaginable.
The one invited this time was Kazuhiko, the third elder of the Kazuhiko family. He was accompanied by two of his apprentices.
In fact, the Masao family also had its own geomancy master. However, despite the Masao family’s prominence in commerce, politics, and the military, they were not a orthodox geomancy family. Whether in the inheritance of geomancy or in geomancy accomplishments, they were far inferior to the Kazuhiko family.
“After the matter is completed, don’t forget what your Masao family promised!” Kazuhiko reminded.
“Mr. Fujiwara, please rest assured. Masao family has always been true to our word. As long as the mission is successful, we will definitely fulfill our promise!” Hideaki assured.
After respectfully seeing Kazuhiko off, Hideaki’s eyes flashed with a glint, and a cold smile crossed his lips.
The next morning at ten o’clock, arranged by Thomas, Leo met a woman in a café on Deep Blue Avenue.
As Thomas had said, she was indeed a beautiful woman, and she exuded a very elegant temperament.
The woman wore black-framed glasses, her long hair styled simply, and she wore a casual sporty outfit, radiating youthful vitality.
“You must be Mr. Bloomer?” The woman smiled and extended her hand.
Leo politely shook hands with her, “I’m Leo.”
“I’m Willa Coates.” The woman introduced herself.
Before coming, Thomas had briefly introduced Willa to Leo.
Willa was a local in Deepmere City, both her parents were civil servants. She majored in design in college and had a postgraduate degree. After graduating, she became a designer.
After several years of work experience, Willa had become quite famous in the design industry of Deepmere City.
