When Zhen was still thinking about whether he was subdued by Sara, Jason continued to talk to John until they finally finished their so-called greeting.
"I'm sure John has inford both of you about being here right?" Jason asked Zhen and Sara with a calm expression.
Before arriving, John has told them what they're here for and Zhen has decided to let Sara do all the talking. He's still too weak as of this mont to continue a long conversation.
Zhen would have gone back to the inn to sleep if John didn't glare fiercely at him when he heard about his complaint.
"Yes, father has inford about what we need to say and I would do all the talking," Sara replied although there's a hint of nervousness since almost everyone looked at her now.
Zhen slowly extends his hand around Sara's waist to reassure her and she starts explaining everything in detail.
However, Sara didn't say anything about twisting Zhen's ears nor how Zhen magically disappeared as it would only an more trouble for him.
Zhen sees Jason Flare calmly nodded at Sara's word by the ti she finishes every process but Zhen could tell that there's so doubt in his mind.
He probably didn't want to enquire more as John is still present.
"Hmm, based on little Sara's explanation, we can confirm that the black mage was aiming for sothing in the new dungeon," Jason said after getting a clear picture of the situation from Sara's word.
"Mhm, the question now is whether they obtained the treasure yet or not since we only managed to apprehend 6 black mages but they all commit suicide through an unknown way."
"Yes, this is indeed troubleso and we'll have no clue."
The people inside this room start discussing the problem and try to think up a strategy against the black mage.
Zhen has a plan in his mind but he prefers to keep silent as it is not his jurisdiction nor did he have the authority to give advice here.
'Tch, I'm probably allowed here because of my relationship with Sara.'
Think about it, Zhen could be considered a lover to Sara now and it ans that he has the backing from John.
With John doting on his daughter being widely known to this town, Zhen could be considered to have a safety charm now.
An example could be if soone ssed with Zhen and he told Sara about it. Sara will then inform John and with her cuteness, John would listen and then look for the person who ssed with .
This is the so-called chain reaction where you inform one, the person will then inform another person until it reaches a person that none dares to ss with.
Besides, Zhen wasn't a person to be easily ssed with, to begin with, but having less trouble coming at him helps since he doesn't have to waste any strength nor ti to deal with it.
A few monts later, when the conversation of having a strategy was going nowhere, John suddenly interfered and said, "I believe this kid here has a strategy in mind already so let's hear from him."
"..."
The atmosphere beca silent with everyone looking at him and Zhen can see the disdain from their eyes saying, 'What can a little kid co up with when we are struggling here?'
Zhen wanted to ignore John but seeing their expression enraged him.
Age does not determine a person's wisdom similar to how you can't determine a person's strength with age.
"There is indeed a strategy where we can lure out the black mage. Just announce the fact that soone had obtained the mysterious treasure in the new dungeon which caused the entire dungeon to vanish. With the fact right in front of them where the new dungeon disappears, they will definitely believe it and target the person who is now carrying the so-called treasure."
Zhen spoke slowly to let everyone know about this strategy which will definitely arouse the black mage.
The black mage might be suspicious but considering the fact that they have been working so hard for this treasure, they will take this risk for sure.
Everyone in this room beca silent and you can see them with a pondering look to see if this strategy will work or not.
Zhen wasn't worried at all since he believed they would take this route since they have been too passive since the start.
To counter a threat, the best way is to take the initiative when the enemy least expects it.
After around 5 minutes, Jason started asking the people here if they found this strategy to be viable.
"Considering the unusual event regarding this new dungeon, I believe that the black mage will bite this bait even if they know it could be a trap." Peter Lar said in reply to the City Lord.
Peter might be envious of the City Lord position but he knew how to weigh the important matters and now is not the ti for him to make things difficult.
Jason nodded his head to his reply and looked at the others who also nodded their head. Their aning is clear that they would go with this strategy.
"It seems everyone approved of Zhen's strategy and I have to say, for a kid, his brain is definitely bright. You found a worthy son-in-law John."
"Hmph, his brain is good but uses it in the worst way possible," John replied to Jason and added his own remark.
anwhile, Zhen's face twitch with his mouth crooked a bit to the left.
'What do you an I use my brain in the worst possible way?'
*Giggle*
'Who's laughing?'
Zhen turned around to see if Kuro was laughing at him but it turns out it was Sara. She was giggling at John's remark.
Zhen whispers in Sara's ear, "There's nothing funny about John's comnt. I will definitely eat you every day now for laughing a bad joke."
"Pei, I still haven't forgiven you.... yet. You better try harder to have forgive you because who told soone to ditch ." Sara replies and pinches his waist lightly.
Zhen could only smile bitterly at how won are able to change their emotions easily. They are truly frightening beings.
Anyway, they're now able to leave since they have a strategy in mind and they must plan carefully to make it more realistic.
Walking out, Zhen holds Sara's hand without giving her any choice to show that he is not subdued by her at all.
'I simply get pinched harder in the waist but it will heal soon so I shall not yield.'
Zhen swore that he is not like John at all who beca a loser when facing his lover.
While Zhen was getting pinch in the waist by Sara as they headed out of the City Council, John stayed behind to discuss with them.
'Alas, I can take a deep breath in the air and relax now.'
Zhen can finally take a break after doing so many things without resting a bit.
