Tyler, Rose, and Miao eventually met Alice. They talked for a long time, and after a while, Tyler asked Alice about his idea.
"Do you think you can help get a piece of land?"
Alice looked at him strangely and asked.
"Why do you need a piece of land? I can get you a house."
"No! I need a big piece of land, at least something worth over one thousand energy crystals. I am not just planning on building a house but something more."
"I plan to build the organization there. I might not be the friendliest person, but I know a lot of people who fulfill those requirements. So, I can start hiring those people."
"After all, if we want to build that kind of power, we need to start right now."
Tyler replied as he pressed his hand down on the table. His mood was turning a bit serious as he started talking.
"You haven't even explained your plan." Alice angrily replied.
"Didn't I tell you before? We need to find people who can be loyal and hard-working. As for other things, I can manage it." Tyler replied.
Alice turned silent for a moment and looked into his eyes.
"You know that it was my goal, right?" Alice asked.
"Then, shouldn't I be doing all that?" Alice asked.
"But, I just wanted to help you. You don't trust me?" Tyler looked at her with a sad expression and asked.
"It's not about trust, Tyler. I know you want to help me, and I need your help. I want you to help me fight the people I can't fight."
"But this is my goal, this is my idea. Would it still be my goal if you do everything for me?"
Alice's eyes turned serious and a bit red as she said.
"Tyler, this is my revenge. So, please don't take it away from me."
"But, I am not taking it away from you. I am just helping you create the path to your revenge. Look! I have even gathered resources to help you."
Tyler tried to convince her.
But when he did, Miao and Rose looked at him.
"Son, I know you want to help her, but is it fair to interfere in matters without her consent?"
"But, I am not doing this without her consent. We talked about this before. I told her that I could help her, and she agreed."
"I am not going to build this force for myself. I am not going to control it."
"I am just doing this because I don't want her enemies to find out that she is building up a force. That's all I am doing."
Tyler shouted at them.
Hearing his words, three of them turned silent.
"Alright!" After a long pause, Alice nodded.
"I will find land for you and also help you build the proper building there, but you have to promise me something."
"What is it?" Tyler asked.
"You will tell me everything, especially if you are going to make any major decision." Alice said.
"Alright! I can do that. But, you are not allowed to ask me where I get those resources from." Tyler said.
Hearing his words, Alice paused for a moment in surprise and sighed.
"Alright! I won't ask you about it."
"Good! Now, let's talk about the other thing."
Tyler took out a small scroll and passed it to her.
Alice took the scroll and opened it. When she started reading it, she was confused. She looked at Tyler and asked.
"A cultivation technique for internal energy. I don't have Innate Divine Strength."
"The reason I have so much physical strength is because of that technique. It allows you to absorb spiritual energy and turn it into internal energy."
"Although this method requires intense hard work, it has a strong benefit. So, you should try it. I have something else for you, but you should just focus on it."
Alice wanted to ask him how he got that, but he just made her promise that she wasn't allowed to ask anything about it.
So, she ended up taking it without asking anything.
"Good! So, are we just going to stay here or go somewhere else?" Tyler asked.
"I will tell someone to find of piece of land for you. We can start building the house as soon as we pay for the land. But, since it will take some time, why don't you stay here?"
"Alright! By the way, what about that Tournament?" Tyler asked.
Hearing his words, Alice hesitated to say them. But after looking into his eyes for a long time, she sighed heavily and answered.
"Because of the Sulen Family, it was canceled."
"Out of rage, I asked those children to kill the youngsters of the Sulen Family, so when that happened, the Sulen family demanded to cancel this year's tournament."
"Sigh! And here I thought I would get a chance to destroy them. Anyway, do you find any news on him?" Tyler asked.
Alice nodded her head.
"It seems like every Wednesday, he goes to a tavern. From what we learned, it seems like he has a relationship with the lady of the house, but there could be more things."
"There is one problem, though. Every time he goes there, he only goes there at night. And, he also brings his three most loyal guards." ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ ɴovelfire.net
Hearing her words, Tyler smirked.
"Oh! That means I get an even more perfect time to strike him, and what could be more perfect than today?"
"But, you have to be careful of those guards. They are powerful. Not only are they at Foundation Establishment Realm, but they also have a lot of training."
Alice spoke with a serious expression.
"Tsk! Tsk! Tsk! Don't worry about me. Originally, I was just worried that I might have to attack him in the daylight, but now, since it is night, that suits me even more."
At this moment, only three words came to his mind.
