〖Countdown to Confession Death: 25 days〗

〖Countdown to Labyrinth raid: 9 days〗

In the room of the inn, Tyler and Heloise both stared intently at Vanessa.

The news she brought tonight could potentially alter the trio\'s subsequent plans.

"What I am about to disclose pertains to the internal intelligence of the Azure Lizard Family. I implore you both to maintain confidentiality," Vanessa cautioned them before relaying the reality of the situation forthrightly.

Earlier this afternoon, Wallace, the young master of the Azure Lizard Family, had obtained confidential information through his family\'s channels.

The intel indicated that during the forthcoming raid on the "Aqua Nest", the Scarlet Family would stealthily include formidable entities like the "Silver Wasp Queen" into the raiding party, and they would keep this a secret from Ice Polestar, Sheryl.

As the eldest son of the Azure Lizard Family, Wallace was naturally privy to the unique mechanisms of the labyrinth, and he immediately understood that the Scarlet Family was setting a trap for the two teams from Delis Town.

However, due to the interconnected interests among the Five Great Families, even after learning of such intelligence, Wallace would not reveal it to Ice Polestar Sheryl, nor would he trouble the Scarlet Family, choosing instead to prioritize self-preservation and abstain from participating in the labyrinth raid. 

Undeniably, his decision to share this information with Vanessa was already an act of extreme generosity.

Tyler\'s mood plummeted immediately after listening to Vanessa\'s statement.

("Silver Wasp Queen"... Isn\'t that Viviana\'s title?)

Just four days ago, Tyler was secretly relieved that Viviana hadn\'t been involved in this matter. Now, the problem he least wanted to face was inevitably before him.

"Vanessa, does Young Master Wallace have any idea why the Scarlet Family is doing this?" Tyler inquired.

"As for that, he\'s not sure and is quite perplexed himself."

"Is that so..."

Tyler closed his eyes, pondering. As one of the Five Great Families, the Scarlet Family wouldn\'t engage in a thankless task.

Since they were willing to offend other clans and even clash with the royal labyrinth instructor to proceed with their plan, it suggested they\'re expecting substantial benefits that correspond with their actions.

(It seems that the Scarlet Family possesses exclusive secrets regarding the "Aqua Nest" that only they are privy to.)

Having considered this, Tyler had mostly figured it out.

In the time since parting with Viviana, Tyler had gleaned some understanding of the concept of the "Divine Heir". 

As the "Divine Heir" of the Scarlet Family, Viviana represented the future lifeline of the family. If the Scarlet Family didn\'t have absolute confidence in their covert operation, they would never risk Viviana\'s safety.

In other words, while Viviana would enter the "Aqua Nest", she wouldn\'t face any threats to her life.

It might even be possible that this secret operation was specifically designed for Viviana.

Thus, Tyler did not need to risk entering the "Aqua Nest" to repay Viviana for saving his life.

However...even though he had rationalized this, Tyler still felt somewhat uncomfortable.

(Well, I\'ll think about this later.)

·

The priority for Tyler now was to determine the future course of action for the "trio" consisting of him, Heloise, and Vanessa.

Now that Wallace had fled, it shouldn\'t pose any issue persuading Vanessa, who tended to act pragmatically, to abandon the labyrinth. 

As for Heloise, her short-term goal was to become stronger, and her long-term goal was to liberate her tigermen tribe companions from the underground. The "Aqua Nest" was not a place she had to absolutely visit.

Therefore, the trio could entirely depart from Delis Town, find another location to practice, challenge the second-tier trials, continue to grow stronger, and even invite Team Leader Garvit to join them, sparing him from risking his life in the "Aqua Nest".

Thinking this way, the only problem was feeling somewhat guilty towards Ice Polestar, Sheryl, since they wouldn\'t have learned so much about the labyrinth without her honest disclosure.

(I didn\'t anticipate being embroiled in the power struggle among the clans so soon...)

After discussing with Vanessa and Heloise, Tyler ultimately concluded that with nine days remaining before the raid on the "Aqua Nest", they could temporarily stay put and decide the final course of action in a few days, depending on the situation.

.

Simultaneously, within the Scarlet Family\'s mansion, Viviana had just disembarked from the carriage, in company with the two elders.

Albert\'s absence at the door to greet her was somewhat surprising. Assisted by other servants, she was escorted to her quarters to rest, while the two elders, the Cardinal and Obsidian, hurriedly sought an audience with the Lord of Scarlet. 

Their urgency was entirely due to the matter of the "Aqua Nest". 

Before long, the three pillars of the Scarlet Family, the Lord, Cardinal Elder Rodrygo and Obsidian Elder Augusto, had convened within a clandestine study.

Ridiculously, Viviana, who was to be the principal person involved in the forthcoming "Labyrinth Plan", was excluded.

The rationale for not including Viviana was that all three believed her to be overly naive. If she were to discern the full scope of the "Labyrinth Plan", it might induce adverse effects on the execution of the plan.

·

The "Labyrinth Plan" originated from a secret the Scarlet Family had learned about the "Aqua Nest". 

The pioneer of the Scarlet Family discovered that if two of the three teams that entered the labyrinth were entirely annihilated, the three goblin leaders within the labyrinth would fuse into one, manifesting the true form of the labyrinth boss.

Subsequently, when this actual boss was defeated, the labyrinth would proffer an "additional treasure" as a reward. The value of this "additional treasure" would be no less than the treasures obtained from clearing ancient labyrinths.

The triad of the Scarlet Family expressed great interest in this secret. Coincidentally, the royal family had initiated a raid on the "Aqua Nest", hence, they crafted this plan around Viviana. 

The Scarlet Family had already colluded with the officials dispatched by the royal family; they would not reveal the actual situation to the two teams from Delis Town. 

Once all three teams entered the labyrinth, a portion of their team would disperse, specifically tasked with sabotaging the other two teams to hasten their demise.

As for the raid on the "actual boss", they had no intention of relying solely on Viviana\'s strength and had other plans in mind.

"Do the two elders believe that, with Viviana\'s current strength, she can successfully conquer the "Aqua Nest" with absolute safety?" 

Within the study, the Lord of Scarlet opened the evening\'s discussion without any pleasantries. 

The Cardinal and Obsidian Elders reported Viviana\'s recent progress on the battlefield in response to this question and subsequently provided the answer.

"Regrettably, the probability of Viviana successfully defeating the \'true boss\' of the \'Aqua Nest\' on her own is likely only twenty percent. However, as previously planned, with the \'particular method\' in place, we could increase this success rate to one hundred percent."
