Lesia tossed a high-quality elixir into her mouth and said, "There's no chance of that would happen. Morgott is stubborn but isn't a fool. After finally escaping from Zymurgy, so why would he be willing to walk back there? Do you really believe those suprbeings are just for show?" James said amusedly, "You seem to know him quite well. Do you think he'd allow himself to be manipulated by Tai Chi?" Lesia countered, "Morgott's ultimate goal is to break free from his seal. He'd ally with anyone who can help him, even Tai Chi." James said meaningfully, "Is Tai Chi not worried about being unable to control him, and her plan backfiring on her?" Lesia looked at James and replied, "Her main concern is getting rid of you and the Yin governor. After using Morgott for her purpose, she will be able to avoid the Tai Chi Tribulation. Then, under the guise of vanquishing Margott, she can request the help of Zumurgy's suprbeings and clean up the mess." "If they manage to seal Morgott away again, she'll beca hero. Not only will it secure her position, she'll also gain greater respect among the suprbeings." "But if she fails, Morgott will consher," James interjected.
"Exactly. So, it's a high-stakes gamble. However, it's one that had been carefully calculated," Lesia affirmed.
After hearing Lesia's explanation, James had a clearer picture of the situation.
The Tai Chi Tribulation was Yehria's obstacle to overcome. However, realizing that she could not face it alone, she orchestrated a plan to use Motgott. Not only did she forcefully involve suprbeings, but she also dragged the Law of Paths into it. As a result, her calamity beca shared burden of many.

If Morgott successfully consumed him and Thea, then Yehria's Tai Chi Tribulation would be nullified. If they survived, Yehria could still accuse them of conspiring with Morgott. Given the widespread fear of Zymurgy's suprbeing, they would still intervene even though they knew the truth.
The Law of Paths had tried to warn him before they parted ways.
James was determined not to succumb to Yehria's plan. However, he wondered why the Law of Paths had not intervened even though such an intricate plot was at play. Was it due to inconvenience to act, or was there shidden agenda? He suddenly remarked, "It seems we must prepare to confront all of Zymurgy's forces aligned against us." Lesia asked, "Do you understand the extent of their powers?" “Well, it's pointless to fear them. Ever since | took action against my rebellious son, Hetsema, I've fallen into Tai Chi's trap," said James.
"I should have warned you," Lesia said with a hint of guilt.
"It's not your fault. Even if | had known it was a trap earlier, | would've still played into it. With my friend facing peril, | could never stop myself from intervening. Also, | wouldn't allow Hetsema to continue such foolishness." Lesia lapsed into silence, grasping James' unspoken thoughts. She knew he desired to uncover her true identity more than anything. However, James was wise and emotionally intelligent, hence he avoided bringing it up.
Faced with his attitude, she had no choice but to continue feigning ignorance.
After a prolonged silence, James waved his hand and summoned Gladwin.
Gladwin immediately surveyed the surroundings in shock.
"Tfor you to honor our bet, Great Protector," said James.

Startled, Gladwin turned around. Upon seeing James, his expression changed drastically, akin to one who had seen a ghost.
At that moment, James no longer had the disguise of Yaquis.
"You...you...I knew something was amiss. So it was you..." Gladwin stuttered, his lips twitching in disbelief.
