Chapter 362: Trusting Two Maniacs

The room remained quiet for several seconds after Cynthia finished speaking.

Serina and Miona were still staring at each other, clearly unsettled by the strange resonance between their bodies.

Damian rested his chin against one hand. "Great. So we confirmed there’s something weird about you two, but we still have no fucking idea what it is."

Miona gave him a flat look. "Very helpful."

Damian shrugged. "I’m summarizing."

Before Miona could argue any further, Cassandra suddenly leaned back in her chair. "Why are we even trying this hard?"

Everyone turned toward her.

Damian raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean?"

Cassandra casually crossed one leg over the other. "Think about it."

She pointed toward Serina and Miona. "The sisters don’t know what the Twin Keys are."

Her finger shifted toward Cynthia. "Poison Dragon can’t figure it out either."

Then she looked directly at Damian. "And unless you suddenly became some ancient bloodline expert overnight, you don’t fucking know either."

Damian coughed lightly.

Technically, he knew far more than everyone else in the room. The problem was that he couldn’t explain any of it without exposing the System.

Cassandra continued, "So who do you think would know the most about the Twin Keys?"

The room fell silent for a moment before Serina’s eyes narrowed. "The organization that has been watching us since childhood."

Cassandra snapped her fingers. "Exactly."

Miona frowned, already suspicious. "What are you planning?"

Cassandra’s crimson eyes gleamed with amusement. "Hehehe... what I’m thinking is pretty simple."

She leaned forward and slammed a hand against the table. "Let’s stop fucking examining their bodies and let the people who already know the answer come explain it themselves."

Damian’s eyes immediately sharpened, and Cassandra pointed at him with a grin. "There it is. That stupid look you make when you finally understand something."

Damian ignored the insult. "You’re saying we should use the sisters as bait, aren’t you?"

Cassandra laughed. "Hahaha, exactly. We just publicly spread the word that the ’Twin Keys are staying with the Forbidden Immortal Harem.’ If that organization wants them this badly, they’ll come to us eventually."

Miona immediately shot upright. "WHAT?!"

Serina remained seated, but her expression quickly turned serious as she considered Cassandra’s reckless suggestion. "We don’t even know how strong that organization is."

She leaned forward and pointed toward herself and Miona. "They’ve been watching us from the shadows for years, and we still know almost nothing about them."

Miona quickly added, "Exactly! For all we know, they could have monsters far beyond anyone we’ve faced so far."

Cassandra’s expression immediately darkened as she turned toward the sisters. "So what? Are you saying this harem is a weak faction that’ll collapse the moment your enemies show up?"

Serina and Miona both frowned.

Miona immediately narrowed her eyes and lowered her head slightly. "That’s not what I meant."

"Sounds pretty fucking close to me," Cassandra shot back, still clearly irritated.

Damian sighed and quickly raised one hand between them. "Alright, calm down for a moment, will you?"

He then looked toward Serina and Miona. "I understand what you’re worried about, but you can’t say it like that."

Serina leaned forward and let out a soft sigh. "I’m sorry. I’m just genuinely worried about you and the harem."

Damian sighed again. "I know what you’re worried about, Serina. But there are a few things you need to understand about us first."

He pointed toward himself and Cassandra. "You two still don’t really know me or Cassandra that well. We’re fucking strong."

He gestured toward the outside. "The Morath Clan had four Nascent Soul cultivators and more than a dozen Golden Cores, and we wiped them out without much trouble."

His finger shifted toward Cassandra. "She fought two Nascent Soul cultivators at the same time and wasn’t even trying that hard. She was practically playing with them."

Damian then pointed toward Helena and Linsey, who were sleeping nearby. "Those two killed two Nascent Soul elders while they were still only Golden Core cultivators, and the worst they got were some superficial injuries."

He leaned back in his chair and shrugged. "And I still haven’t shown you even a fraction of my real strength."

The sisters fell silent.

Damian’s grin slowly returned. "So what if your enemies are strong? We’re strong too. Besides, we haven’t exactly had many good opponents lately."

He spread his arms wide. "And if that unknown organization really is powerful, using your rumor will only make the Forbidden Immortal Harem’s name spread even faster."

Damian snapped his fingers excitedly. "Isn’t that just killing two birds with one stone?"

Serina exchanged a long glance with Miona. This time, neither of them immediately objected.

Miona was the first to break the silence. "I still think this plan is fucking insane."

Serina sighed softly. "So do I... but he does have a point. Running from them forever won’t solve anything."

Miona clicked her tongue, clearly unhappy, but eventually leaned back in her chair. "Fine. If those bastards want the Twin Keys that badly, let them come."

Serina gave a small nod, her expression turning calm and serious. "At least this time, we’ll be the ones waiting for them."

Damian’s smile widened when he heard their agreement. "Good. Then the plan officially starts now."

Cassandra grinned and turned toward the five servants. "Same as usual. Spread the rumor."

The five servants nodded without hesitation and immediately left for the nearby cities, ready to spread the news as far and as fast as possible.

Cassandra grinned again. "I just hope they’re actually strong. I want at least one chance to show off my full power."

Damian immediately grinned just as shamelessly. "Same here. I haven’t even had a proper chance to show off yet."

He leaned back with a smug look. "How the hell am I supposed to call myself the leader of this harem if I never get to flex a little?"

Serina and Miona could only sigh when they saw the shameless excitement on Damian and Cassandra’s faces.

At this point, all they could do was hope that trusting these two maniacs was actually the right decision.
