While Irving was taking action, Elder Astra was also putting his plans into motion.
Elder Astra's strategy was quite simple: to create a diversion. He intended to use the ordinary members of the Night Blades, along with the power of various families in the real world that were collaborating with the Night Blades, to draw Irving's attention. Once he successfully diverted Irving's focus, Elder Astra would launch a direct attack on the headquarters of the Ocean Group.
Elder Astra was well aware that the relationship between Irving and Vicky was very close. As long as he could pose a threat to Vicky, Irving would surely rush over quickly.
By the time Irving arrived at the Ocean Group headquarters, Elder Astra would be fully prepared for battle. He was confident that he could trap Irving with his preparations. At that point, the Envoy of Filth would have the opportunity to attack the Angel Guild headquarters.
