"Even if Tom recognizes them, it doesn't matter. They can't find the whereabouts of Skyarch Palace," Zane said.
"The intelligence network of Task Force Rose is extensive. As long as there's a clue, they'll conduct a widespread search.
"If they find out that Skyarch Palace is connected to us, Lord Caspian will definitely know about it. We'll be accused of rebellion, and then we'll have no way to defend ourselves. Our entire family may be doomed," Jerry said solemnly.
"Dad, don't scare me. Is it really that serious? What should we do, then?" Zane was frightened and at a loss.
"You were too careless. I have no idea what to do either." Jerry shook his head.
"How could I have known that Task Force Rose would be around Tom? If I had known, I would've sent innate grandmasters over!" Zane retorted.
"It's too late to say anything now. We can only hope Tom didn't recognize Wyatt and Lanson," Jerry said.
"How about this? I'll send some innate grandmasters to take care of Tom. This way, we don't have to worry anymore," Zane suggested.
"It's too late now. Sending people over won't help. Besides, Task Force Rose will definitely send more people to protect Tom. If we send people now, it'll be like walking into a trap," Jerry said.
"Then let's launch a coup tonight!" Zane gritted his teeth.
"We can't. The King is going to meet the Five War Gods. They'll all be by His Majesty's side. If we act now, it's suicide," Jerry said.
"What should we do, then? We can't just sit and wait for death." Zane was now completely out of ideas.
"We can only wait. Send people to monitor Task Force Rose's activities. We'll react accordingly if they make any moves," Jerry replied.
"Alright, I'll send someone now," Zane said.

The next day, Caspian received a call from Laina the moment he woke up.
He knew that Laina must have something important to report to him.
"What is it, Laina?" he asked.
"Lord Caspian, someone tried to kill Tom last night," Laina said.
"Is he alright?" Caspian asked.
Tom had helped him before, so he was very concerned about his safety.
"He's fine. I happened to visit Aria yesterday and encountered the two assassins. We killed them both," Laina said.
"Why would someone want to harm Tom?" Caspian asked, puzzled.
"Tom is the son of Greenton's leader from West City. But Greenton was wiped out, and he managed to escape. Now, the other party wants to silence him," Laina replied.
"Greenton? What does that have to do with anything?" Caspian was now completely confused.
Laina then reported everything she knew to Caspian.
After listening, he had a general understanding.
"Skyarch Palace has recruited many martial artists. Anyone who doesn't comply with them will be killed. They may have some secrets," Laina said.
"Do everything you can to find this Skyarch Palace. Get to the bottom of this," Caspian ordered.
"Okay," Laina replied.
