BXBX NOVEL Chapter 202 - Me, As A Weak Enemy?
"I want to take her down now!" she yelled in rage.
"We have to know who is behind her. Until then, you won\'t touch her," said Isidorus firmly.
"Do you want them to think of me as a weak enemy?" she asked condescendingly.
"I want you to think about it clearly without being affected by their deed. Only then will you be able to come up with a better idea."
"How can I not be affected? They tried to kill Liam, knowing fully well of the fact that he is here to protect me. Liam is like my brother and I will go after anyone who tries to harm him! How wretched they are to actually go and poison him! Wait till I show them my wrath! None of them will be spared!" she shouted, shaking with fury.
"Adrianna, you will not do any such thing. We have to find the main culprit. The true enemy hasn\'t shown his face as yet. That boy was just one of their minions - an attention seeker. He couldn\'t have done this on his own and from what I gather, he didn\'t even know what he was doing," said Isidorus with a very serious face.
"Why do you say that?" asked Adrianna, surprised at Isidorus\' statement.
"We have checked the history of the boy. He is a prankster and told us, after we interrogated him, that he didn\'t even know that the rabbit was Liam. He thought it was just any other specimen in the lab and he was just pulling a prank on the other students by poisoning it because the potion needed blood from a live animal. If the rabbit were to be poisoned, the professor might have dismissed the class. He was shocked to know that the rabbit was Liam."
"So that means he was just a pawn in the game. The mastermind of the game is elsewhere?"
"Yes. For that matter, all the students in the academy are pawns. They wouldn\'t even know if they killed a person."
"Then what should I do Isidorus? I can\'t lie low; I want to strike back!"
"If you want to really strike, you have to work objectively. I have a plan."
Adrianna narrowed her eyes at him and said, "I am listening."

Back in the forest, Dmitri was fighting against Kuro and his ally. The battle was taking place a few miles outside the Lake Moon Territory. Dmitri had camped two miles away from the battlefield.
Dmitri was sure that the battle would finish within a day, but he was surprised when it continued for longer. The army that they were fighting against wasn\'t big but there was something that he wasn\'t able to understand. There were only two factions that had gone against him and their army had been of a small size. According to Nate, they should have lost the battle within a few hours. Then why was it taking so long?
Dmitri sent his messengers to find out. They returned with a shocking news: there were two other packs that had joined hands with Kuro and his ally and they were extremely sneaky. They hadn\'t come to the forefront to face Dmitri, but they were secretly helping Kuro by sending a part of their army to fight against Dmitri. His informants further informed that a small part of Kuro\'s army had started surrounding the west side of the Lake Moon area which was opposite to his camp.
Once the informers had reported their findings, they started to leave, but were stopped by Dmitri who ordered, "Speak up! I want to listen." He could hear their thoughts very clearly and they were holding back information. "Your mother is financially helping the secret rebels… It is possible, however, that she doesn\'t know that they are fighting against you…"
Dmitri clenched his jaw at the information and then changed his plan with an immediate effect. He sent Nate with a few men to capture the chiefs while he single handedly commanded his army against the rebels. The Lake Moon Packs\' inhabitants vacated the territory that night, allowing free movement for Dmitri. His army quietly entered the territory and first attacked the army that was surrounding it from the west. Under the veil of the night, they attacked Kuro\'s sleeping army. Chaos ensued, but in the next hour, Dmitri had captured both Kuro and his ally. They returned to the Blue Moon Pack the following morning.
They prisoned all their war captives, but Kuro\'s sons were able to run away before they were captured. Following Kuro\'s fall, the Red Moon Pack was merged with the Blue Moon Pack.
The following day, two new chiefs were appointed and sent to the respective territories.

"What is your plan Isidorus?" asked Adrianna.
"I want you to show your full support to Mihr."
"What? Never! He would never believe me."
"You have to make him believe that you have your own personal interests in receiving the throne and that once you will get the throne, you will give him the most important position in the wizard kingdom; simply speaking, you will replace me with him."
"This is ridiculous Isidorus. He would never believe me."
