The three men continued to plan their next steps with the goal of finishing off the Heavenly Palace and Candice. In the same way, they discussed what they could do with the old man since they were convinced that he had betrayed them, so they have to deal with him as well.
On the other hand, the old man had arrived at his office and was sitting in the dark pensive. Tonight he had understood that Candice look at him not as an ally, but as a pawn, and that annoy him.
Despite his fear of Candice's power and influence, he was proud of himself, a bit rotten, but ultimately proud and he couldn't allow himself to be looked down on like that, so he was making plans to deal with her.
What he came up with was to bother the Heavenly Palace as well as the three former comrades of him, since he knew that Candice was interested in that establishment, he thought that the best way to hit her was by attacking the Heavenly Palace.
