"The operation didn't just fail for Tuoba Kuohai. Don't forget, even after the Chaser of Light was deployed, it still couldn't find Zhao Wan."
Jad continued to soothe Vinson with a gentle tone, but he didn't simply go along with everything Vinson said.
"Zhao Wan's Soul Cleansing is certainly our first choice.
But a temporary failure doesn't mean we've reached a dead end.
Just as we planned from the start,
the secret medicine in Empress Dowager Xiao's possession can also alleviate the mental strain and contamination caused by cybernetic enhancements.
Be patient. Give Tuoba Kuohai a little more time.
Once we get our hands on the formula for Empress Dowager Xiao's secret medicine,
we can take our time dealing with Zhao Wan."
Jad's words drew a soft snort from Vinson, whose mood had finally settled.
"I just hope Tuoba Kuohai doesn't prove so useless this time. He has the absolute home-field advantage, yet he can't even deal with some mere performer.
We've killed several of Empress Dowager Xiao's trusted aides, and her maternal clan has had all its forces tied down by us.
If he still can't bring her down after all that, Tuoba Kuohai can just go die!"
"Don't worry. The deputy leader is personally keeping an eye on things over there. Nothing will go wrong."
Jad chuckled softly.
"I wonder how much longer we'll have to wait in this godforsaken place.
It's so boring here."
Vinson's expression eased a little as he turned to complaining.
"It shouldn't be long now.
Once Tuoba Kuohai defeats Empress Dowager Xiao and takes control of the Xitu Federation, we'll be able to obtain official status in the open.
That will give us a lot more freedom to act.
It's been a long time since I've walked beneath the real sunlight."
