Arnas appeared on the balcony of the Prestige Four Seasons' penthouse and looking at the beautiful solitude of Orian she asked, "Prof Orian, Why did you want to meet me now?"
"When are you going to attack the boy?" Sansa asked Arnas.
If Prof Hadley had done his job of communicating with his counterpart in central government forces that were collaborating with them on this mission and enquired them properly about their course of action Sansa would not have had to go through the trouble of arranging a meeting with her counterpart in the central government forces.
"You do not need to know that, your job is to lead the boy out of the royal palace grounds and then leave the rest to us," Arnas did not intend on revealing her plan to her counterpart in Morningstar University's forces sent to collaborate with them on this mission.
Because even though they were collaborating their goals were entirely different, both of them wanted to get to the boy before the other party. This relationship was more about convenience than mutual benefit.
"Let me guess, you plan to attack the boy midway on his way over to the interview venue. This way the boy is far from the royal palace grounds so he will not be able to rush back to safety and you will get to reach him before us. Tell me if I guessed wrong," Sansa deduced Arnas's plan in a single breath. However, Arnas controlled her reaction not to give Sansa the satisfaction.
"I will take your silence as a yes. How could you guys be so basic and obvious?" Sansa said while rolling her eyes seeing Arnas continue to act tough and then added, "What makes you think that Dalton Wyatt will use his original body to attend the interview? After all, Dalton Wyatt is known to use his exceptional clones to fake his death in the face of card emperors and semi-demigods."
Listening to Sansa say that the boy could use his near-perfect clones to trick them, Arnas's expression finally changed. However, she corrected her expression immediately and asked, "So, what do you propose?"
"Simple, ambush Dalton Wyatt on his way back to the royal palace grounds after we are done interviewing him. After all, he will have to use his original body to attend his University Interview. Before you decline me, I am willing to let your people monitor the interview closely," Sansa's plan was simple: she wanted to handle the boy during the interview, and to do that she had to ensure that boy will be able to attend the interview unhindered.
"..." Arnas did not immediately agree to Sansa's proposal. Seeing Arnas take her time to consider her offer, Sansa decided to help Arnas decide by threatening, "Agree to this or I will cancel Dalton Wyatt's early admission university interview."
"Fine, my people will be here by 9." Arnas reluctantly agreed and then prepared to leave. But was stopped by Sansa who shared a soul contract with her grimoire saying, "Why don't we sign on it?"
"..." Arnas started blankly at Sansa before nodding. After going through the contract Arnas added, "The contract is too tight. It leaves no room for change. What if there are some unexpected developments? I will have to make changes to the plan based on the situation."
Listening to Arnas, Sansa nodded in understanding, "I will add that clause."
"Okay," Listening to Sansa, Arnas nodded.
The reason Arnas brought this up was that she knew there was a new development that Morningstar University did not know of, Jill's betrayal.
With the new clause, Arnas could do as she pleased without bothering about the soul contract. She went through all this trouble just to give Morningstar University a sense of control and certainty so that they will let their guard down toward the central government's forces' action.
As for discerning the original body of the boy from his clone, after one of the Supreme leader's semi-demigod incarnations' interaction with the boy in Sun blossom city, Arnas was aware of the boy's near-perfect clones and had her way of discerning the boy's original body from his clone bodies.
Soon Sansa shared the updated contract with Arnas and after signing the contract Arnas left with a copy of the contract. Seeing the retreating figure of Arnas, Sansa's lips turned upwards in triumph. Unaware that she just lost in her own game.

"No, don't, I will inform them. You go and make sure that the Exlor hall is prepared for the interview," in light of the Southern Royal family activating the Golden Gate, Sansa decided to immediately contact her counterpart in the Central government forces and inform her that this development changes nothing and they should proceed with the plan they have decided on.
"Prof Sansa, what is it?" Arnas asked Sansa coldly.
"It seems the royal family is on to us. I hope you will proceed as we planned," Sansa asked in worry that Arnas would not agree and chose a different course of action. As her assurance the soul contract was no longer valid because of the clause she added to the contract herself.
"Obviously. Since, the Southern royal family is on to us. It wouldn't surprise me that they will have the boy use his clones to trick us. So, I can only wait until after the interview," Arnas assured Sansa that she will be following their previously agreed-upon plan to ambush the boy on his way back to the royal palace grounds after the interview.
"Good to know that we are on the same page," Saying that Sansa hung up the call as the worry in her eyes was replaced with disdain for the stupidity of her counterpart in central governments' forces for playing right into her scheme.

"They destroyed the City array formation," Hadley blurted in disbelief looking at the array formation covering the Southern capital city being destroyed by a single person.
"Prof Harley, could you yell the obvious somewhere else?" Sansa said in annoyance before yelling in frustration, "I just fucking called that bitch and informed her to proceed with our plan and not to act until after we interview the boy. That bitch fucking lied to my face. Where are the bastards from the central government that came to monitor the interview?"
"They were right here a while ago. I think they changed the plan last minute since the Royal family activated the Golden Gate cluster array formation," Prof Hadley answered with a frown.
Prof Hadley too was aware of the soul contract between Sansa and Arnas. So it did not surprise Prof Hadley that the central government did not follow their previously agreed-upon plan with the new development.
What surprised Prof Hadley was Prof Orian's reaction to Central Government forces going off the script. The cussing and yelling were not like the Prof Orian he knew. Well, considering that her career depended on this mission Prof Hadley could understand where she was coming from.
"That shy bitch I will fucking kill her. Arhh, she never planned to keep her promise from the start. Prof Hadley, hurry and ask our teams to stand back and not act with the forces of the central government. They will only be used as cannon fodders. Tell them to wait for further orders," giving Prof Hadley temporary instructions, Sansa stomped her foot on the ground in irritation and left the Exlor hall and moved back to her penthouse suite in a flash.
Appearing in the penthouse Sansa was greeted by Flower Thief's empty beast which made itself visible feeling her presence. Looking at the empty beast Sansa ordered, "You know what to do next, be careful the boy can see the empty beast."
The empty beast nodded at Sansa and then vanished from the penthouse. If everything had gone according to Sansa's plan, the flower thief would not have needed to take action but things didn't go as planned.
But Sansa knew better than to believe everything will go according to her plan. Therefore as a contingency before this, she had ordered the Flower Thief to monitor the forces of the Central government if they go off the script.
While monitoring them, in the chaos if possible Flower Thief was to kidnap the boy if not he had to stop the central government forces from kidnapping the boy. Otherwise, at the least track where they were taking the boy and kidnap him from their holding cell.
Having his work cut out for him, Flower Thief ordered his empty beast to head to the field to make the most of the ensuing chaos. Resolving that he will not be outsmarted by the boy once again and will redeem himself in the eyes of the Matron. failing to kill the boy twice had hurt his pride and now this mission was more personal than a duty.
