That night, Chiron established the seeds of a scheme in the pub.
When he got back home, he used the entire night to concoct some special pills using the herbs he had gotten from elder Ellen.
For Chiron, most of the elements were in place.
Emma fed him valuable information from the lost treasure and the rest was just for him to work on his own.
The next day came along.
Once more, the party gathered at the bureau for cultivators.
Chiron was usually observant of his environment.
He quickly noticed that Carla looked a bit bothered.
This was his target. A change in her emotions could lead to a change in his plans. On top of that, she had arrived late.
"Are you okay!?" Chiron asked affectionately as she sat in a corner.
However, the moment he asked, he noticed the extra detail of bags under her eyes and the fact that her mother had not escorted her today to the bureau for cultivators.
