The Shelter Game: Me, Starting with a Tenfold Drop Rate

Chapter 283 Sincere and Patient Communication

After discussing for a while, Irving, Anna, and Aron finalized their plan of action. He would wait for Elder Howard to find an opportunity against the Werewolf God, and afterward, he would join Elder Howard in the battle against the Werewolf God.

Although a series of unexpected situations would inevitably arise during this process, Irving felt that there was no other option but to cooperate with Elder Howard at this point.

Anna and Aron ultimately only begrudgingly agreed to Irving's plan. Before Irving left, Anna specifically said to him, "I think you still need to seek Benjamin's opinion. Although Benjamin may not necessarily agree, if you hide things from him now, he will surely resent you afterward."

Faced with Anna's suggestion, Irving did not respond directly. He simply replied, "I'll consider it." Anna could only nod helplessly in response.

After returning home, Irving met with Wendy and Benjamin. Although Benjamin had gone directly back to the Ocean Group headquarters, he felt it was more reasonable to drop Wendy off at Irving's house. So, in the end, he came to Irving's home with Wendy to wait for him.

Irving's expression was immediately noticed by both Wendy and Benjamin. Wendy directly asked him, "Is the situation really that bad? You look very worried right now. How can I help you?"

Irving shook his head. "The situation isn't as bad as you think, but it's certainly not going smoothly either. Just make sure you stay safe; that will be a help to me."

After saying this, Irving turned his gaze to Benjamin. After hesitating for a moment, he finally said to Benjamin, "I already have a rough outline of the next action plan in mind, so I hope to discuss it with you. I wonder if you're willing to talk about it with me?"

Benjamin's expression showed a hint of confusion. Under normal circumstances, Irving wouldn't usually beat around the bush like this. He nodded emphatically and said, "I would be very happy to discuss the details of the plan with you. So, of course, I'm willing!"

After receiving Benjamin's affirmative response, Irving turned his gaze back to Wendy.

"You should go back to your room and rest for now! You don't need to know about the upcoming actions, as your involvement is not required," Irving said.

Wendy felt a bit down, but in the end, she didn't say much more. Previously, she would have strongly opposed this idea. After all, she genuinely believed she could provide a lot of help during the operation. However, after two missions in Shadow City, Wendy felt she would most likely hinder Irving rather than help him.

"Alright then, I'll head back to my room to rest. You two discuss the details of the upcoming actions," Wendy said.

Once Wendy left, only Benjamin and Irving remained in the living room. Irving still didn't reveal the details of his plan, which only deepened Benjamin's confusion. At the same time, Benjamin felt that Irving's upcoming plan had significant risks.

"What's going on? I remember you're not usually indecisive. Since you already have a rough outline for the plan, just tell me directly. No matter what your plan is, I can take it in stride," Benjamin urged.

As soon as Benjamin finished speaking, Irving replied straightforwardly, "In that case, I'll lay out my plan. To rescue Vicky and to limit the Werewolf God's power from the blood moon, we must cooperate with Elder Howard in the upcoming actions."

The moment Irving finished stating his plan, Benjamin looked at him in shock. "Today is not April Fool's Day! This is no joking matter! Do you really think we can cooperate with Elder Howard? Don't forget who captured Vicky!"

Irving had anticipated Benjamin's reaction, so he didn't show any signs of being affected by Benjamin's anger. After a brief pause, Irving continued, "I knew you would strongly oppose this. But I hope you understand that we have no other options left. The Werewolf God's power has far exceeded our imagination."

Irving's words weighed heavily on Benjamin. However, he couldn't immediately come up with a counterargument. Benjamin knew that Irving was speaking the truth. The power of the Werewolf God was indeed beyond their expectations, and if they wanted to defeat him, they needed other allies.

Benjamin had initially thought that the ally Irving sought would be one of the other powerful families from the City of Warding, which had always been in opposition to Ocean Group. He never expected that the ally Irving had in mind was Elder Howard.

After a moment of silence, Benjamin finally calmed himself down. "Can you be sure that he genuinely wants to cooperate with us? Aren't you worried that he might betray us during the cooperation? I think we shouldn't easily trust members of the Night Blades. Moreover, Elder Howard has always been antagonistic toward us within the Night Blades.

Don't forget that he has caused us trouble time and again in the past." Discover more stories at m,v l'e-NovelBin.net

Irving nodded. "I have considered everything you've mentioned! That's why, before we begin our actions, I will take additional precautions. I will not let Elder Howard find any weaknesses in us during the operation."

Irving spoke with great sincerity, and this time he showed more patience than usual. Under normal circumstances, Irving would not be so sincere and patient in persuading his allies. After all, he had always believed that his strength was sufficient to handle any danger. He would never waste too much breath because of his allies' objections.

Benjamin's expression was a mix of uncertainty and contemplation. The living room fell into silence, and it wasn't until ten minutes had passed that Benjamin finally broke the quiet.

"If you believe this is the only way to deal with the Werewolf God who possesses the power of the blood moon, then I can agree to this plan. However, I must warn you in advance that this plan is filled with dangers and traps during its execution."

Benjamin's response relieved Irving. He patted Benjamin on the shoulder and said, "As long as you are willing to support my plan, I believe we can achieve success. You will definitely keep a close eye on Elder Howard during the execution of the plan."

Irving believed that the conflict between Benjamin and Elder Howard was significant. Even if they cooperated with Elder Howard, Benjamin would remain vigilant.

Benjamin nodded. "Don't worry. If you want me to join you in this operation, I will keep a close watch on Elder Howard. He won't be able to employ any tactics against us without my noticing."

Benjamin's words made Irving very happy. "Just get ready as soon as possible. But I can tell you that we have ample time for preparation. Elder Howard hasn't found a good opportunity to start the plan yet. He must lure the Werewolf God to the Desolate Canyon before our plan can commence because only there do we have a chance to defeat the Werewolf God."

After receiving this information from Irving, Benjamin nodded in agreement.

"That means I might have about a week to prepare. I'll quickly get all my weapons in order. Just let me know when Elder Howard is ready, and I can join you at any time!" Benjamin said seriously to Irving.

"Alright! It's settled then! I'll contact you as soon as the plan begins!" After confirming the details of their operation, the two parted ways. Benjamin needed to return to Ocean Group to prepare for the upcoming action, while Irving had to head to Starling City.

He needed to inform Sophia's father, Jony, about Sophia's situation. Although Irving was not responsible for Sophia being transformed into a werewolf, he felt he had not fulfilled Jony's request to take care of her.

Irving quickly arrived in Starling City. He didn't linger at the airport but went straight to the Green family's secret base in the suburbs. By the time Irving arrived, Jony was already somewhat prepared mentally.

"Given the look on your face, you must have some very bad news for me. Has something happened to my daughter?" Jony asked Irving casually.

Irving nodded. "Sophia has indeed encountered some trouble, but I believe I can still rescue her."

He then explained in detail the situation Sophia found herself in. After listening, Jony let out a long sigh. "You can't blame yourself for this! In fact, if you had informed me of everything earlier, I would have prevented Sophia from joining you on this operation. Our family, the Green family, is easily influenced by the power of the blood moon."

Irving was taken aback by Jony's words. He had not anticipated that the Green family had any connection to the power of the blood moon.

"This isn't exactly a secret. The reason our family has been able to dominate in Starling City from the beginning is due to our connection to the power of the blood moon. Under normal circumstances, the power of the blood moon grants our family members great combat strength and recovery abilities. However, if the power becomes too overwhelming, our family members can be transformed into werewolves.

If the information you provided is accurate, then Sophia was merely driven by the power connected to the blood moon within her body to become a werewolf. This isn't your fault."

After hearing Jony's explanation, Irving finally felt a sense of relief. Moreover, he realized he could use this opportunity to gather more information regarding the power of the blood moon.
