Lor Diarra bought a restaurant in the most prominent location in Star Luo City, had the restaurant staff change the signboard to "Misty Rain Tower," and then dismissed all the staff in the hotel.
He glanced around and saw a decent restaurant. He then took out two black pieces of paper from his person, on which were written two missions related to assassinating Bian Cheng.
The news that Misty Rain Tower was going to assassinate officials of the Star Luo Empire also spread throughout Star Luo City. Everyone who heard the news began to search for the name Misty Rain Tower in Star Luo City.
The most conspicuous location of the Misty Rain Tower was quickly found, and people gradually gathered in Misty Rain Tower, lingering in front of the Misty Rain Tower.
"Is it true that the Misty Rain Tower is planning to assassinate imperial officials?"
"Who knows? But it's probably not entirely baseless; there's a possibility, though it's unlikely. Who would want to provoke a huge empire for no reason? It's probably just a joke."
"Everyone, step aside. If it's true, just push open the door of Misty Rain Tower and go inside to find out."
Someone walked to the door of Misty Rain Tower Misty Rain Tower, pushed it open, and what appeared before them was an empty Misty Rain Tower. But just ahead of them were two black papers with the assassination mission written on them.
At dawn, in the Star Luo Imperial Palace, Dai Tianfeng listened to the news reported by his subordinates and frowned, saying, " Misty Rain Tower, since you've released news of an assassination attempt, our empire's officials are truly shameless."
No sooner had Dai Tianfeng finished speaking than an official below asked, "Your Majesty, what should be done with this Misty Rain Tower?"
"Send someone to keep an eye on things and see who is in charge of Misty Rain Tower and what kind of power they have." Dai Tianfeng thought for a moment, but didn't pay too much attention to the matter of Misty Rain Tower.
After all, he simply couldn't believe that a little-known place like Misty Rain Tower would dare to provoke a massive Star Luo Empire.
It's like a lamb trying to pluck a tiger's whiskers. If it really dares, it's just plain courting death.
"Yes, Your Majesty." The official below replied and returned to the ranks below, standing quietly.
"Is there anything else? If not, let's adjourn the court now." Dai Tianfeng glanced down and, seeing that no one was stepping forward, waved his hand, indicating that they could leave.
After all the officials had left, Dai Tianfeng went directly back to the palace behind the imperial palace. As for the matter of Misty Rain Tower, he didn't care about it at all.
Inside the hotel, Bi Zihan sat by the window, looking down at the Star Luo Empire, a sinister glint in his eyes that flashed and disappeared in an instant.
"Young Master, we have completed the tasks you assigned. Now, only the matters concerning Jade and the two elders remain. What should we do next? Should I continue to assign tasks in the Misty Rain Tower?" Lor Diarra asked, looking at Bi Zihan ahead.
Sitting to one side, the two elders Ghost Leopard and Demon Bear, were also quietly pondering. Logically, once Jade and Lie Yan completed their mission, Emperor Dai Tianfeng of the Star Luo Emperor would be enraged and subsequently destroy the Misty Rain Tower.
To throw the Star Luo Empire into chaos, taking action against officials and members of the royal family would undoubtedly cause panic among the officials, thus achieving the desired effect.
"You don't need to go to Misty Rain Tower anymore, and you don't need to hang up the mission for now. As for Misty Rain Tower, let Dai Tianfeng destroy it; we don't need to bother with it. Go to the Spirit Soul Sanctuary and get me a complete set of information about the auction house. Remember to be careful about your identity and don't expose it." Bi Zihan looked out the window, appearing very calm, as if it were the calm before a storm.
Upon hearing this, everyone in the room was somewhat taken aback, wondering why Bi Zihan wanted the auction house's information.
"Yes, young master!" Lor Diarra didn't ask any more questions, but walked straight out of the room to the Spirit Soul Sanctuary to get the information that Bi Zihan needed.
After Lor Diarra left, Yang Wushuang asked, somewhat puzzled, "Young Master, aren't we supposed to be dealing with the Star Luo Imperial Family? What use is the auction house information to you?"
"I really don't understand."
Yang Wushuang looked at Bi Zihan with a puzzled expression, as did the others.
Bi Zihan noticed their gazes and slowly said, "The officials of the Star Luo Empire are basically from the nobility. Instead of targeting them, it would be better to directly target the nobility and gain the support of the common people."
"The two great empires and the Spirit Hall strictly prohibit the buying and selling of people and slaves. But people and slaves can be bought and sold openly in auction houses. If it's just an auction house, without anyone backing it up, would it dare to openly buy and sell people and slaves?"
"Do you really think the emperors of the two great empires are blind and can't see what's happening right under their noses? The auction house is known for its ability to sell anything as long as you have the money."
Bi Zihan turned his gaze from the Star Luo Imperial Palace to the group of people in the room.
" Zihan, what you're doing is inappropriate. If you rashly attack the noble class, you're essentially pushing them to the opposite side. Even if you want to target the nobles, you should wait until the situation stabilizes before making a move," Demon Bear said, stroking his chin as he offered his advice to Bi Zihan.
"That's right, Zihan. Even if you want to take action against the aristocratic class, you need to wait for the right opportunity. Otherwise, it won't be a good thing for our Spirit Hall." Ghost Leopard echoed Demon Bear's words, but they were only suggesting it and did not deny it.
"What the Misty Rain Tower has to do with our Spirit Hall is none of our business. Even if the nobles are looking for someone, they should look for the Misty Rain Tower, not our Spirit Hall. As for whether they can find them, that depends on the nobles' abilities." Bi Zihan stretched, his voice very calm.
Upon hearing this, everyone understood Bi Zihan's meaning: the auction house was the big cake that the nobles put on the public eye, while the nobles behind the scenes were the ones who shared the cake.
Eliminating some of the most heinous members of the nobility, while pushing the noble class to the opposite side, would undoubtedly garner the support of the common people. As for the remaining nobles, regardless of their attitude towards Misty Rain Tower, they certainly wouldn't openly break ties until they found the real person behind Misty Rain Tower; at least on the surface, things would remain peaceful.
But covert obstruction and probing tactics will certainly continue.
