Jasmine massaged her brow ridge as she said, “Looks like we’re a step ahead of them. But it’s not as useful as you think. We’re out in the open but our enemies are still well-hidden from us. There’s a possibility that they’ll launch a surprise attack at any moment. Worse still, our Fenderson family might be exposed just like that. We don’t even know who they are. That’s why I have been acting gloomy and anxious all this while!”
“Haha! Is that so? Now that’s easy peasy. I have a way!”
Mindy said happily.
“You?” Jasmine smiled slightly.
“Hmph! Jasmine, you might think that I’m a carefree girl. But I’m quite smart too. This is more or less like the Werewolf Game I love playing!”
Mindy said.
Jasmine shook her head. “I don’t understand it!”
“It’s very easy. Currently, aren’t you afraid of exposing yourself the most? Let’s find something to conceal you. After that, we can stir up confusion among their ranks. That way, you’ll be hidden in the dark. Our Fenderson family will be hidden in the dark too. You just need to act the way you usually do!”
Mindy said.
“What you said is rather logical. You mean that we don’t have to rack our brains to fight against that group of people? However, we need to find another person to act as a ruse. We might even get the chance to lure out the people who are hiding in the dark at first.”
Jasmine was quickly catching on.
Mindy snapped her fingers. “Bingo! That’s it!”
“Ah! But where should we find a person like that? Who is the most suited to draw the others’ attention away?”
Jasmine thought about it.
Mindy pouted as her brain churned away.
But soon, Mindy slapped her forehead.
“Haha! I know who we should look for!”
Mindy said.
Jasmine said helplessly, “Are you going to say Gerald?”
It was beyond his expectation that an ice-queen would appear standing before him at this time of day.
Mindy chuckled. “Are you surprised? I came to meet you because I need your help with something!”
Mindy said.
“You need my help with something?”
Gerald knowing their true identity did nothing to help. Rather, it further added to his confusion when he heard that statement.
Logically, if they indeed belonged to the Fenderson family, Mindy should have been able to do whatever she wanted to do without much hindrance.
“Yes, it’s true. It’s inconvenient to talk about it here. Let’s go upstairs to my room!” Mindy said.
“Do you want me to go to your room? It’s such a late hour. I don’t think it’s a wise move for me to make.”
Gerald said in surprise.
