While the matters concerning the succession of the Kingdom of the Waves throne developed, six people were gathered at this time in this state capital to resolve a specific issue.

This group was in a noble and luxurious room, which appeared to be the accommodation typically found in top-notch hotels in this region.

There were some decorative furniture, pictures, and plants in that place. It also had a good view of Athela due to its location on one of the highest floors of the building.

And in that place, two men were standing by a window, smoking cigars and listening to each other's conversation. As for the others, two men were seated in armchairs facing each other, while the only two women in the group were on the sofa beside those two armchairs.

"What are we going to do about those two? Since our last attempt, they've locked themselves in the local cultivation tower and haven't left for days!" One of the men sitting in one of the armchairs said this as he looked at the people around him.

"Teddy is right, the family gave us the order to act against these two, but since our failure that day, those cowards have been hiding in that place!" One of the women agreed.

They naturally wouldn't dare try to act against anyone inside the cultivation tower!

That place was managed by local royalty and even had a level 55 Spiritual King guarding there. After all, as one of the highest-capacity cultivation towers in the northern part of the Central Continent, that place yielded considerable amounts of crystals!

Consequently, its administrators would not allow disorderly attitudes within that place.

Moreover, as an institution that provides top-notch services to cultivators across the region, the local cultivation tower had its position to protect.

How low would an establishment be that allows its customers to be mistreated within its own building?

At the very least, customers' reliability in this type of establishment would decrease if the installations in these places were dangerous...

And to make matters worse, with royalty behind this service, it would mean that an offense to the local cultivation tower would be like offending the royals themselves!

And such a thing would be unacceptable. An institution as powerful as the state's ruling family could not have its honor trampled to the point where even basic social norms are violated.

That's why places like the one in question always had people to enforce specific rules, to prevent the image of those powers behind these places from being disgraced by little things.

And as sensible individuals, these six people wouldn't do such a foolish thing as trying to force the situation by trying to capture their targets inside the local cultivation tower!

"Don't worry. That won't last long. Those two have been doing this for almost a month. I doubt they have so many crystals that they can stay in that place much longer." One of the men smoking beside that window said this while looking at the local skyline.

"Truth. But I must say, those two are very lucky. How did they get so many crystals?"

"I mean, the daily price in a collective cultivation room for the 5th stage cultivators is an average of 1,500 crystals per day!" Another man commented while making hand gestures demonstrating how absurd this was.

Upon hearing this, the woman who still hadn't said anything nodded in agreement and commented. "This is truly inconceivable for mere subordinates to achieve this! That Nash girl is probably to blame for all of this!"

The group in question were the spies who had chased Elen and Elena's team months ago and who shortly afterward had lost track of those two.

And the two targets they were currently discussing were Elen and Elena's bodyguards, who had been in this region since then.

After the departure of these two young women, the group sent by the Allen family had discovered the trick they had fallen into hours after those two escape.

They even tried to find out about Elen and Elena's whereabouts back then, but it was too late.

On a flying beast, the tracks left by the walk were very sparse, and even if they were found, they wouldn't lead anywhere. After all, the pursuers didn't know where the bird would fly...

And after concluding that they couldn't find the whereabouts of those two, these six people had started chasing the bodyguards. Those two men were the only clue left behind. So, they couldn't lose sight of them after such a mistake.

Finally, after days of chasing those two young women's bodyguards, the Allen family group had received orders from headquarters through an envoy who had arrived in this kingdom weeks before.

According to that person, the family had ordered this group to stop sneaking and take more drastic action.

Kidnapping and interrogating those two men!

But Eduard and Elena's bodyguard were already prepared for this type of situation and had successfully escaped the kidnapping attempt of this group. After that event, they had fled to the cultivation tower, where the two were sure they would not be disturbed by members of the Allen family.

They knew this was an option that would only delay the problem, but neither of them had a choice. Either the bodyguards would do something like that, or members of the Allen family would catch them in an eventual escape attempt.

The trick Elen had previously used would not work a second time, and those two men would have no strength, no means, to escape these people. So, the only way they had found was to hide in the local cultivation tower, where they could buy time and still grow strong!

Anyway, after that woman said that, the other immediately commented on something relevant. "It probably has something to do with that girl's business on Stone Island. She's earning millions of spiritual crystals a month, and I've heard that her bodyguard often travels to exchange medium-grade crystals."

"Hmm, true. He's probably getting a great bonus from that girl…" The group leader commented when he stopped for a moment and sighed. "But it does not matter. They'll probably have to leave the cultivation tower in the next few days, and after that, we'll do what has to be done!"

"Yes!" The others agreed simultaneously.

"Since today, at least 2 of us will be watching the exit of the cultivation tower at all times to ensure there are no gaps."

"Let's finish our service with those two as soon as they leave that place!"

...

After the conversation of the group of spies coming from the Allen family, more than thirty days passed in the blink of an eye!

Many things happened to the other groups involved in the plots in the Kingdom of the Waves in the time that passed. Still, none of this had affected the peaceful lives of Minos and Abby...

Both trained in the cultivation tower daily, improving the mastery of their respective techniques and also strengthening their cultivation levels.

The two had continued their fighting routines, with Minos pushing his young friend to the point where her cultivation speed had increased and she could now reach level 44 in a month!

But during the time that had passed, the two of them hadn't just trained and cultivated. No, many of the pills, arrays, and weapons that Minos had ordered had been completed, and he had already collected them.

In fact, all that was missing was the medium-level grade-2 weapon and some pills to be delivered before they departed from this city.

As for spiritual techniques, the two had been able to visit local medical and design associations in the past time.

At these two locations, young Stuart had been able to buy the copies of techniques he wanted, which were more than 100 Blue-grade and 10 Black-grade techniques.

That had taken a sizable slice of the crystals that had previously been left over. However, the young ruler of the Black Plain still had enough to buy the techniques of spiritual judges and alchemists, which were still lacking.

And because of all that, now there were only a few more days left until Minos and Abby left Athela, following their journey to the Cohen family region!
