San Guo spurted the wine he was drinking upon hearing that. He blurted, "What? Are you serious?"
"That is supposed to be a secret, Gao Lan," Amon said. "Since it didn't come to that, we can forget about it."
San Guo shook his head. "I know you always prepare for backup plans, boss, but do you need to go that far? If the kingdom finds out about our involvement in the attempt, we can say goodbye to living in Echos."
"Also, won't it be highly suspicious to Prince Huang San if someone disrupts the preparation to delay the trial? Won't the prince become the prime suspect?" Lu Fei added.
"That's what I told him when he asked me to prepare the team," Gao Lan pointed at Amon again.
"As I said, it is not needed anymore, so forget about it," Amon said. "I didn't call you here just to listen to your congratulations. I want your reports on all our activities in the capital."
