Sighing, Alex admitted defeat.

''You win, I'm joking. I don't really plan to kill them but to mask it as killing them. It would be like a movie but with no real death.'' Alex explained, while his plan was almost perfect it was missing something, to fool the world, not to let another Gracier easily detect a flaw; he must emit killing intent in the videos he would record to be broadcast to the world, to the Holy Crux empire. Like this, they would see that he really killed those officials, and it would put pressure on them.

Alex didn't care about what kind of name he would have after all of this; all he cared about was to rescue his lover; everything else was irrelevant. Reputation? To hell with that, it means nothing to him, especially when he never planned to stay here forever; Mysthia was too small for his ambitions; his growth would stagnate if he stayed here.

It was unknown what the higher worlds had in store for him, whether he could survive or get killed midway, but to Alex, it was worth risking everything. The real stage was over there. He would be happy with ordinary life because he had never been ordinary, and it was not now he would become one, not in a fantasy world where basically all dreams could come true.

Since his reincarnation, since knowing that there were a lot of worlds out there waiting to be explored, to be conquered, he never thought about leaving peacefully on Mysthia after everything was over. His goal of standing at the apex of everything could never be realized on Mysthia anyway, so he cared a little about what kind of reputation he would have here.

''While I will not ask how you are planning to fool the world because it would be more fun this way. Tell us about your next plan. I mean what mission you have for us because I'm sure you have one.'' Leon declared, bringing everyone's attention back to reality.

Alex nodded, thinking as expected of the future ruler of the Lionheart Empire. Well, I doubt he would stay here after everything is concluded. He thought, but he did not voice them out.

Coughing slightly, Alex explained the next part of his plan.

''I want all of you to return to your respective empires, expect Lilith.''

''And?" Eris raised a question.

''I want to inform your parents about what happened. While we don't have anyone from the Far East Empire present because they are too secretive, it doesn't matter. I want you to tell the emperors and the empress to put some pressure on the Holy Crux empire simultaneously simply. Surely, the Pope would deny any involvement in the kidnapping case.''

Upon hearing Alex's words, everyone nodded; they were sure that the Pope would not acknowledge being involved in Luna's kidnapping as the others didn't have any proof; verbal statement, in this case, would not help much because none of the empires would dare to send investigation team and even if they did, the Holy Crux empire could as well hide Luna until the investigation team left.

So the only solution, in this case, was to harass the Holy Crux empire, yes, harass. Alex's second plan was harassment, with calls from everywhere targeting the Pope asking about Luna's whereabouts; even though he kept lying, he would be angry to be asked the same question every single time coupled with Alex executing his officials. The pressure would come as double.

Alex planned to kill the Holy Crux empire officials not only in Avalon but in other empires as well; this way, the empire would become reckless. Because he was shameless when the others asked him if he was involved in Luna's kidnapping, they would also play the same tune when the Pope would ask for an explanation; this would keep him busy as he would probably send teams in the empires to investigate when they would refuse to do, this would reduce the Holy Crux empire strength to some extent letting Alex easily sneak in to carry out the next part of his plan.

Although they were still unaware of the whole plan, the small part they heard about made them afraid. It was not an illusion they were afraid of. They felt goosebumps rising all over their bodies.

Leon did not dare to look at Alex in the eyes even when the latter was smiling brightly like a ray of morning sunshine. He felt his fine hairs stand on end. The Holy Crux empire had no idea that they were about to face calamity; Alex planned to destroy them from outside and inside.

It's unknown whether the second strongest empire would still be there after this. Leon was the future emperor of his empire, so were Eris and Kuina; they could at some extent deduct what Alex wanted to do; he would stir chaos. The other empires were eyeing the Holy Crux empire like starving hyenas; nobody made the first move for the sake of the so-called peace, it was just to maintain the fragile balance, but once this balance is slightly tilted to the side, for example, if one of the empires were weakened, automatically the other empires would jump on the opportunity to swallow the weakened empire as after all the biggest dream of every empire is to expand, to conquer other superpowers in order to last thousand years.

Once Alex succeeded in dealing a heavy blow to the Holy Crux empire because ut was what would happen once he rescued Luna, the other empires would do their utmost to swallow the Holy Crux empire even with the threat of the end of the world. [A/N: The final fight against the chaos organization..]

Taking a deep breath to calm down his beating heart, Leon asked.

''When do we start?" He asked; his voice was quivering; he was excited. Alex's plan was too sweet not to entice; he was sure that his father would gladly accept, every other empire would be interested as well.

Kuina, Artemia, and Lilith said nothing but their eyes shone brightly as they waited for Alex's answer.

Smiling because everyone understood what he was trying to do, Alex declared.

''Immediately.''

There were still many things to do, but the essential part must begin immediately.
