"Dear, don't be so mad, we're only doing it for the sake of the plan..." Natalie and Grace looked somber and despondent as the former pleaded.

A terrifying aura of coldness and murderous intent surrounded Dan's body in his disguise, he felt angry seeing both of his wives flirting with strangers, though it was for the sake of the plan, the innumerable doujinshis about netorare that he heard made him paranoid.

Shaking his head, Dan suppressed his killing intent and the cold air around him dissipated, turning towards the girls, his eyes flashed in a critical light as he asked, "Then, what's your next course of action? Seeing that the three of them are attracted to the two of you, it should be easy to assassinate them now..."

Natalie shook his head, "The fact that they got this far, working as mercenaries means that their capabilities shouldn't be underestimated, and as you heard earlier, they can combine their power and fight against a peak Divine Soul Cultivator..."

Grace who remained silent all this while out of embarrassment broke out of it and chimed in, "How about we discuss on how we could weaken their strength? Since we're going inside a beast infested forest, we could make use of those beasts..."

"Ah! That's right!" Dan clapped his hands together and threw Grace a look of approval and admiration. At the same time, he heaved a sigh of relief that Grace was at his side if not, he would have a hard time fighting against such a tactician like her.

Patting her head, the young girl narrowed her eyes and Dan couldn't keep his lips from smiling upon witnessing such an adorable display. Natalie puffed her cheeks out.

"Here, here..." Stretching his free hand, he rubbed Natalie's head and showed her with praises, "My little wife really is a good actor, you really deserve an Oscar for such an act..."

"Oscar?" Natalie asked in curiosity upon hearing this unfamiliar term.

"No, it's nothing, forget about it..." Dan shrugged and continued domesticating them with head pats as they discussed on how they could use the beasts in the forest in their advantage.

"Since it's decided that we're going to use beasts, how can we lure them to us?" Natalie presented a problem that existed ever since they decided on their next course of actions. Grace shook her head saying that she didn't have any ideas while Dan consulted the system.

[Results: Beasts are curious creatures so an extreme concentration of a certain element may attract them into thinking that there's a treasure at that certain location, beasts love treasures and once they detect one, territory establishment would be their next course of actions.]

"Leave the plan of luring them to me, for now, Grace, I need you to take your clothes off and hand the Heaven Grade Defensive Artifact to me..." Dan instructed and Grace who heard his words furiously blushed, Natalie's eyes dangerously narrowed, "Dear, we're in the middle of a job, I don't think that it's inappropriate to do such things at this moment..."

Dan's expression flickered when he saw Natalie's look and Grace's embarrassed expression. Scratching his head, he awkwardly smiled and said, "You'll know what I mean soon so just take your clothes off and hand them to me..."

Since Dan was this insistent, Grace slowly undid her robes, revealing her stark-naked body as her hands covered her vital parts. Natalie snickered, "Sis, you don't need to do that, as if we haven't seen those places..."

Natalie's eyes flashed in a perverted light and she licked her lips in an exaggerated manner, Dan chuckled at the side,

"Natalie, you look like a perverted old man..."

Grace puffed her cheeks and glared at Natalie, "Stop staring at me, Sis!"

"Alright, alright, I won't tease a little kid anymore..." Natalie shrugged and ignored her retort as Grace complained saying that she wasn't a child.

Taking the robe from Grace's hands, Dan took dozens of defensive talismans and slapped it on the insides of her robe. Natalie and Grace stared at his actions in confusion, why was he using such an exaggerated amount of defensive talismans even though Grace has a Heaven Grade Defensive Artifact on her side?

Dan realized their confusion and he patiently explained, "My plan on luring those beasts involves the use of the Defensive Artifact so, in its place, Grace will be using talismans to protect herself..."

The two girls nodded their heads in enlightenment.

"But still, why are you using so many defensive talismans, with such an amount, I bet she could withstand the attack of a Divine Ascendance Realm Expert..." Natalie continued her line of questioning while Grace curiously stared at him.

Dan's eyes turned soft and she fondled Grace's cheek as he said, "Grace doesn't have any cultivation and the collateral damage could possibly kill her, what's more when she's doing the killing herself. If she failed and her enemy counter-attacked and she died? How could I possibly live my life with such regrets?"

Grace's expression changed and her eyes turned teary, Natalie wore the same expression and the two girls were touched by his words. Dan continued his actions and did the same to Natalie's robes. After checking that the two girls were completely protected and no talismans were malfunctioning. He took the Defensive Artifact and sent it at the distance.

"Once those beasts detected the powerful fluctuations of the Defensive Artifact, they will surely arrive and wreak havoc on our caravan. And when that happens, those bastards would be forced to counter-attack the horde of beasts. After they're weak and battered, that would be the time where we will strike..." Dan's eyes flashed in venomous light, Natalie licked her lips in anticipation while in contrast, Grace looked anxious.

"Remember, if your first attack failed, retreat immediately, Assassins should never be caught in the open..." Natalie reminded Grace and Dan nodded his head in approval, her reminder made it feel like Natalie was more suitable as an Assassin than him.

Sighing in his heart, the hearts of the three stretched taut as an earth-shattering roar reverberated at the distance. The earth itself trembled from the innumerable footsteps. At this moment, the invasion of beasts has started!
