Miss Witch Doesn't Want to be a Diva
Chapter 925 - 75 Discussion of the Council of Seven Sages' Strategy

While Tilan was attending school for her studies, on the other side, Alanna and a few others were organizing their gains and losses in a small stronghold.

"This time we've made some progress, at least we've touched on something, but our actions have likely been noticed by the other side. We just don't know how they'll respond next."

Facing an unknown, yet fairly powerful mysterious organization, the few of them couldn't help but feel a bit insecure, but for now, they can only take one step at a time.

"In the next few days, I'll go contact the betrayed members from other sectors. Although they are betrayers, I know their decision is not that firm. They might be persuaded." Gen said.

"Be careful, I'll also get in touch with a few old friends and have some talks with them." Alanna replied.

"Okay."

Afterward, they each went their separate ways to begin their individual actions.

In the afternoon, when classes ended, Tilan returned to the mansion, and it was already after 4 PM.

Sitting on the circular sofa in the side hall, with the sunlight slanting in partially from outside, it felt very comfortable, giving one the urge to nap.

Tilan sat at the boundary of light and shadow, and a maid placed a cup of fresh plum tea before her. It tasted very refreshing, with a subtle tea fragrance and the sweet-sour taste of plum.

"Is Geyin at home?" She recalled the girl who was also living there.

"Miss Geyin is in the bedroom." the maid mentioned in her usual manner.

"Did she attend classes today?" Tilan looked at the courtyard plants bathed in slanting sunlight outside the window.

"She did go, but she returned around 11 AM."

"So fast, it's like we attend different schools." Tilan remarked somewhat jokingly.

"Is her schedule arranged like that?"

"Yes, it seems Miss Geyin discussed it with her mentors at school, exempting many courses she already knows."

"That child is truly a genius." Tilan felt that even though she learned quickly, she was not as efficient as Geyin.

Or rather, with the effective use of Aijeika Network, it is possible to exploit the time differences between reality and the network and save a substantial amount of time learning knowledge.

While Tilan was chatting with the maids, a small meeting was being held deep within the Aijeika Network.

Council of Seven Sages Hall.

Beside the ancient circular stone table, sat figures of various appearances. Of the seven seats, one remained empty, while the other six were occupied.

Puppet Bear: The Ghost Face Gang reports that Alanna has been very active lately, and the situation is gradually expanding.

Long-handed Monkey: Those guys, more a hindrance than a help. Why not just get rid of them to prevent holding us back or exposing more things.

Puppet Bear: It's rare to cultivate an organization for dirty work in the Academy City, making it convenient to grip the weaknesses and secrets of many large enterprises. Abandoning them now would be such a waste.

Red Scimitar: You're too hesitant. People like the 'Ghost Face Gang,' their biggest competitive advantage lies in the intelligence we provide. Other aspects are replaceable.

Red Scimitar: Previously, because they unintentionally offended 'Ailu Kelu,' the Ghost Face Gang was suppressed, suffering considerable losses. Now they've attracted attention from the media and Alanna, protecting them would only consume more political connections. Why go through such trouble, just support a new organization.

...

Blue Sparrow Mask: Alright, let's not rush this matter. Wait for the media hype to cool down before proceeding. Let's continue discussing Alanna's issue. Old Skeleton, you were in charge of handling the 'Connectors' aftermath before. This result isn't what we wanted.

Old Skeleton: Everything was going smoothly the previous week. Alanna was mentally weak, and she herself was hesitating. If we just waited long enough, she'd eventually convince herself to give up.

Old Skeleton: But then an accident happened.

After speaking, a projection of a young-looking girl appeared in the space between the six. She was wearing a casual, light dress, sitting at the front desk of a pet hospital.

Long-handed Monkey: Who is this? She looks unfamiliar.

Old Skeleton: Look again.

Following that, another projection appeared beside the first one, also a dark-haired girl dressed in a dark Gothic-style dress, adorned with black and blue roses, sitting on a throne. Their appearances and forms overlapped until they became one.

Long-handed Monkey: Hexia Tilan, so it was her.

Old Skeleton: Exactly, this young lady barged in unexpectedly, disrupting many plans.

Old Skeleton: Previously, many invisible measures to undermine and delay Alanna had to be retracted because of her presence. I didn't dare to intervene recklessly.

Puppet Bear: There must be people from the Court of Judgment secretly protecting the Songstress. Being cautious is indeed the right approach.

Long-handed Monkey: With her involved, doesn't that mean we can only watch, unable to constrain Alanna's actions, letting her regain control of the 'Connectors' organization.

Red Scimitar: Maybe we just have to accept that. Since she's arrived, the Court of Judgment's focus is likely already on Alanna and her group. Continuing further might hold little meaning.

Long-handed Monkey: This is quite troublesome. If the 'Connectors' technology is taken over by the Court of Judgment or the authorities, it would mean that the Aijeika Network would also face some form of regulation. My activities won't be as smooth as they are now.

Blue Sparrow Mask: It's not necessarily the case. According to the confidentiality laws related to the Songstress, unless Hexia Tilan takes the initiative to report the 'Connectors' incident to the authorities, the people from the Court can only pretend they didn't see it. It would just be recorded and then sealed, to be decrypted after a hundred years.
