Chapter 116: Bad Idea
Chance strode downstairs, stepping over a piece of fallen rubble and down onto the ground floor. Everyone turned to look at him. It was clear by the shifty looks in their eyes and the bright red blush in Bellas cheeks that everyone had heard at least some of the conversation upstairs.
At least I whispered when I was speaking the important bits to Ocie. The original appearance of this chapter can be found at Ñøv€lß1n.
Stop looking at me like that, Chance grumbled. Weve got work to do, you know.
You mean you arent going to finish what you were talking about with Bella? Quinn demanded. I mean, I dont think I should care, but for some reason, Im
Jie slapped Quinn gently on the back of the head. She snapped her mouth shut and sent a glare at him, but crossed her arms in a silent pout.
Not with you lot watching, Chance said dryly. We unfortunately have considerably less fun matters to deal with. Ive got a plan to deal with the Brackern sect. All of them.
Seriously? Jade asked, squinting at Chance doubtfully. Does it involve returning to Gleam to get reinforcements?
No. We arent going back to Gleam yet, Chance said with a shake of his head. And, even if you do yourself, we arent going to be here when you get back. The Shikari arent our friends.
Jade pressed her lips together, then shrugged one shoulder. Whats your plan, then?
My companion is already working on it, but well all have to help. I need to make as much noise and gather as much attention as we possibly can.
This time, the looks Chance got were closer to the worried gaze of a doctor that had started to expect that their patient had hit their head just a little too hard.
That sounds like a great way for all of us to get killed really quickly, Quinn said. Do you realize theyre Rank Five and Six cultivators? We are going to get killed. Painfully.
The reason I think this should work is precisely because theyre that powerful. Theres no way theyd actually use their full strength against us, right?
I dont think you understand, Quinn said. They dont need their full strength. A finger would be enough.
Which is why itll be important that they never actually land a finger on us. Powerful cultivators are pretty egotistical from what Ive seen of them. Ive dealt with someone thats probably well past Rank Six, and he was the same.
Bellas gaze darkened at the reference to Vex. Chances words technically included Yamish as well, but Yamish was a special case and not one he wanted to think too much about right now.
Youre going to bet on them being so arrogant that they what, just let us walk out? Quinn asked. Im not sure thats a very reliable strategy.
You really think you can hold off multiple high ranked cultivators? Jades brow furrowed. Are you hiding some sort of strength that I havent seen? Theres no possible way a Rank 3
Ill be fine, Chance repeated. I know Im asking all of you for a lot, but Im convinced this will work.
Then Ill stand with you, Bella said, inclining her head. I dont know what good Im going to do against a Rank Six, but my specialty is defense. If anyone can hold them back for even a few seconds longer, it would be me.
Chance nodded in appreciation. Having Bella beside him would go a long way to help tip the scales in his favor. He was still confident that Ocie would pull through on her end, but even a few seconds could make a world of difference.
Quinn pursed her lips. Then she let out a huff. Ill help make noise and draw the bastards over to you, but Im not going to stand around outside the city like a chicken waiting to be plucked. Is that enough?
More than, Chance said with a grin.
Youre absolutely sure of this? Jade asked.
Chance nodded.
Then Ill help Quinn in luring the cultivators to the front of the city, Jade decided. If things look like theyre going well enough, I might throw in with you and Bella, but I wont just toss my life away unless its for a good cause.
You know, you probably shouldnt throw your life away for any reason, Jie muttered. Im not sure Ill be much help in any of this. Im not a cultivator. I might be able to make sure there arent any normal citizens in the area, though. I take it that if Chances plan works, theres going to be a lot of damage?
Chance nodded. Yeah. That would be perfect. Thank you, everyone.
Thank us if you manage to survive this, Quinn said. You said weve got a bit less than an hour. When do we want everyone to show up at the front of the city? How long can you hold them off?
Not long, Chance admitted. My strategy isnt going to work for more than a few minutes, so the closer we are to the perfect timing, the better. And, once were there, if youre going to run, make sure you run really hard. Dont be anywhere close.
The others all exchanged nervous glances.
Thats reassuring, Jade said under her breath. The groups will be Bella and Chance together, then the rest of us on our own, right? Lets spread out to the corners of the city and start causing a commotion after about forty five minutes. That should leave everyone enough time to run back to the front of the city the cultivators are unlikely to want to destroy their own town, so stick close to buildings.
And make sure to avoid anyone you pass by, Quinn added. We dont want to injure anyone thats just being controlled.
Everyone nodded. With that, their plan as secretive as Chance was had been set. They all chose a direction and broke off, leaving the safe house behind as they set off to dropkick a bee hive and hope that Chances Essence was enough to keep them from paying the price.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
