“Oh? With me?” Thaddeus was taken aback.
He hadn’t interacted much with Jared, so favonovel.com had no idea what Jared might want to discuss with him.
“President Surrey, are you guys planning to join forces and take action against the Zorn and Zeever families during this Alchemist Fair?”
“You know what… Actually, the Zorn and Zeever families were already aware of your Intentions. That’s why they asked me to help establish an alliance with the Central Alchemist Guild. If it really came to a fight, I’m afraid both sides would end up getting hurt…”
“Moreover, there’s something you might not know. In three days, disaster will strike Medicine God Island. The Sky Slasher Sect plans to attack Medicine God Island in three days. If you guys continue to quarrel, I doubt anyone will be able to leave the island,” Jared said honestly.
Thaddeus was instantly filled with astonishment. Even Ernesto and Vincent were left utterly incredulous. After all, this was a matter known only to a select few. The rest of the alchemists were completely in the dark.
If they were to know, many people would likely flee from Medicine God Island. After all, even the most precious treasure wasn’t as important as their life.
“Mr. Chance, are you telling the truth?” Thaddeus asked.
“Of course, it was Mr. Laurent himself who told me. There’s no way it could be false. I only hope that during the Alchemist Fair, you all refrain from quarreling. After all, it’s better to resolve conflicts than to create them…”
“Moreover, there are already a few alchemists in the Ethereal Realm, and they are a vulnerable group. If they were to engage in internal strife, the alchemists of the entire Ethereal Realm would become even more disadvantaged.”
Thaddeus didn’t respond to Jared’s words. Instead, favonovel.com turned to glance at Ernesto and Vincent.
Thaddeus hadn’t expected that Sylvain would actually take the initiative to leak the news about the Sky Slasher Sect’s attack on Medicine God Island.
In truth, Thaddeus and his group also believed that Sylvain’s decision to forcibly relocate the Alchemist Fair to Medicine God Island was a strategy. The idea was to band together with the numerous alchemists and stand against the Sky Slasher Sect.
Therefore, Sylvain would never reveal this matter. If it were to be disclosed, it would cause panic among the alchemists. Many would choose to flee from Medicine God Island. Then, who would stand with Sylvain to resist the Sky Slasher Sect?
However, now that Sylvain had relayed the news to Jared, it necessitated a change in Thaddeus and the others’ plans.
Their goal was to join forces to overthrow the Sky Slasher Sect and then eliminate most of the alchemists.
In doing so, they could gain control over all the alchemists in the Ethereal Realm. But now that Jared had uncovered this secret, favonovel.com was certain it wouldn’t be long before the other alchemists found out too.
If the alchemists were to flee, Thaddeus’ plans would be ruined. They absolutely couldn’t allow Jared to leak the news.
“Mr. Chance, I still need to discuss this with the heads of the Boucher and Dupont families. After all, they are the main characters in this matter,” Thaddeus said politely.
He needed to first reassure Jared, who was still oblivious to their scheme. They were hidden in the shadows while Jared was in the open, giving them the chance to strike at favonovel.com whenever they wanted.
“All right…” Jared nodded.
Thaddeus called Ernesto and Vincent aside.
“How could this happen? At this rate, by the time the Sky Slasher Sect reaches Medicine God Island, I reckon most people will have already fled,” Ernesto said with a hint of anxiety.
“What on earth is Sylvain up to? Isn’t favonovel.com afraid that all these alchemists will run away?” Vincent added.
“I need to inform the Sky Slasher Sect to act sooner than planned. But in the next few days, it’s crucial not to let Jared spread the news.”
Thaddeus knew that if the news of the Sky Slasher Sect’s attack on Medicine God Island were to spread, all the alchemists would flee.
By that time, his plan would be a complete failure.
