When Lin Shuang received a reply from her subordinates that she had agreed to come and meet them.

While I felt relieved on Sunday, I couldn't help but feel nervous.

According to Firefly, Lin Shuang came solely on her personal behalf.

It was to investigate the anomalies in Penacony.

If this person had been invited by the Head of the Family of another family, Sunday would have not hesitated to find a way to get rid of him from Penacony.

But Lin Shuang and the Firefly had a very good personal relationship.

According to the Firefly, Lin Shuang was capable and easy to get along with.

More importantly, Lin Shuang saved the Firefly.

This makes it harder to act on Sunday.

Sunday wasn't crazy; he wasn't the kind of person who cared about no one but his sister.

Unfortunately, Lin Shuang's goals and Sunday's actions destined the two to be adversaries.

Of course, Lin Shuang was on Firefly's side.

There is room for negotiation.

Before that, Sunday needs to confirm that glance.

What exactly is Lin Shuang's purpose?

What exactly does she want?

It was simply a warning to myself not to spy on her.

She was still implying on Sunday that she had seen through all the tricks and wanted to take things further.

When exactly did Lin Shuang discover this—before or after arriving at Penacony?

If they had known about their plan before they arrived.

So, is there some other deeper meaning behind Lin Shuang's appearance beside the Firefly?

However, if the strangeness was noticed after accepting the Firefly's request and during the time it took to arrive in Penacony, then...

Given Lin Shuang's allegiance to the Firefly's camp, what choice will she make?

On Sunday, I pondered all sorts of possibilities.

As for a possibility with an extremely low probability --

The whole thing was a coincidence.

Such a possibility, however, was dismissed from Sunday's mind the moment it was considered.

Without a doubt, that instant eye contact.

Lin Shuang discovered that someone was watching her, and in the instant their eyes met, she used a method to break free from the Dreamscape.

The person monitoring them was warned.

Perhaps Lin Shuang was merely testing the waters because she suspected that the person monitoring her was the mastermind behind this layer of the Dreamscape.

But this tentative step was something Sunday couldn't refuse.

The plan has reached its final stage.

Once the actors are in place, the final performance will begin.

At such a critical moment.

Suddenly, an entity appears that can clearly tear open the Dreamscape.

Moreover, he was an outsider who claimed to be 'investigating a traitor to the Family '.

In any case, it's impossible to ignore Sunday.

And more importantly...

Even during their first meeting, Sunday sensed Lin Shuang's wariness towards him.

His vigilance wasn't obvious, but as the Head of the Family who had seen too many people, Sunday could tell.

At first, Sunday didn't quite understand.

Why was Lin Shuang wary of Firefly's biological Brother, yet also trusted Firefly?

For a while after learning what Firefly wanted to do, Sunday naively thought that Lin Shuang was just suspicious of everyone in the Family.

Therefore, professional ethics made Lin Shuang maintain a basic level of vigilance towards Sunday.

But now it seems--

On Sunday, one couldn't help but suspect that Lin Shuang might have known some secrets all along.

That's why I'm wary of myself.

And it astutely determined that the Firefly held a different position from its own.

What a terrifying woman.

On Sunday, he had already placed a very high level of importance on Lin Shuang in his mind.

Aside from her lack of emotional restraint, this woman's intelligence network is probably the most terrifying thing.

According to the data...

Lin Shuang was brought to the stage of the Galaxy not long ago by a woman who called herself the Galaxy Ranger.

He already possessed this intelligence-gathering ability upon first entering space?

Lin Shuang's past is so blank it's unbelievable, it's too fake.

It's so fake, it looks like a deliberate flaw.

Sunday didn't believe the intelligence, nor did he believe that Lin Shuang's behavior reflected her true nature.

He did not doubt the judgment of the Firefly who embraces Harmony.

Lin Shuang likely had no ill intentions towards the Firefly.

But apart from that, everything else is suspicious.

I don't believe it at all on Sunday.

The room was completely empty.

On Sunday, I sat in a chair, closed my eyes, and took a deep breath.

Calm your restless mind.

The surveillance footage shows that Lin Shuang, led by a Family member, has entered the mansion.

Regarding this outside help that his own sister had suddenly brought back.

I've been wanting to find an opportunity to talk about this for a while now, since Sunday.

Just then, Crow perched nearby, without uttering a sound, emitted a resonance-like cry:

"We've reached the final step of the plan. What do you intend to do with that outsider brought by the Chosen One?"

On Sunday, I looked up at the Crow that had landed on the table.

"After our conversation, I realized that what we seek should never be built on pointless violence, Mr. Gopherwood."

"I agree with you, but I need to remind you that person's aura has grown considerably stronger in the days since they left Penacony."

The Dream Master's tone became somewhat cautious.

Lin Shuang's strength is not yet a threat to the Dream Master, but her growth rate makes the Dream Master wary.

It will take some time before the plan is launched.

If Lin Shuang continues to grow like she is now, then it won't be a simple matter of talking about it.

"You've gotten stronger?"

Look to the Dream Master on Sunday.

I learned about Lin Shuang from the Firefly earlier.

I learned from the Firefly that Lin Shuang's strength has increased rapidly.

I was mentally prepared for Sunday, but this growth is something the Dream Master should personally mention.

That's what's surprising.

This means that Lin Shuang's strength may have finally reached a certain limit.

It has become something that the Dream Master should be wary of.

"Yes, if I determine it's necessary, I will choose to expel it from Penacony. The plan doesn't allow for such a variable."

"Is it that strong?"

Sunday was somewhat surprised by what the Dream Master said.

The Dream Master has been working behind the scenes for a long time and has not been active in the public eye.

This time, they actually said they wanted to expel Lin Shuang.

This made Sunday even more vigilant.

But if Lin Shuang is simply driven away like this, Firefly...?

"But if I may be frank, given the relationship between Lin Shuang and the Firefly, if we handle it this way, the Firefly probably won't agree to sing for Order."

"..."

The Dream Master remained silent for a moment.

"This is merely a last resort; the prerequisite for the chosen ones to sing is that the plan can at least be carried out."

"I know, Mr. Gopherwood."

The Dream Master said no more; he had given the necessary reminders and believed he would handle this variable well by Sunday.

From beginning to end, neither of them doubted that it was all just a coincidence.

Chapter 284 Sunday is a siscon?

Both contestants are cunning and calculating, considering Lin Shuang's previous performance, which showed a lack of shrewdness.

Furthermore, consider the current situation.

This will only further convince the two schemers that it's all an act.

The purpose was to mislead everyone who came into contact with Lin Shuang.

This leads people to mistakenly believe that Lin Shuang is the type who lacks cunning but has powerful backers.

On Sunday, I worry Firefly to associate with someone like that.

The Dream Master, however, was wary that Lin Shuang dared to deliberately expose this discordant moment at this time.

She must have very grand ambitions.

And they were certain that they would not expose Lin Shuang's situation.

Be vigilant and cautious.

It's Sunday, and the Dream Master's current attitude towards Lin Shuang.

At the last minute of the plan, this unexpected variable suddenly appeared.

It will undoubtedly make people's nerves tense.

Otherwise, the Dream Master wouldn't have directly revealed the plan to expel Lin Shuang.

This is to make Sunday more important.
