"...the Circle regrets and sincerely apologizes for its past actions. The circle is no longer the same organization. Its old corrupt blood has been replaced by new young blood under my leadership. I am asking you to trust in me and give us a chance to show you, the people, that we have changed for the better." Reading the apology speech, the circle's leader walked away from the podium and headed back into the Circle's head office. Many journalists and other influencers tried to gain more comments from him, but having finished reading his apology speech, the sun blossom branch leader of the Circle walked away without paying heed to their pleas.

"Hahaha," I burst into laughter listening to the live broadcast of the Circle giving an apology. I was happy that they finally caved to the public pressures, but if they think that just an apology would save their image, they couldn't be more wrong.

The circle claimed that they had changed, and to prove their claims, they used the false propaganda that they spread across the grimoire network as evidence. It's as worse as a crooked witness defending a crook. But this was a good strategy. Those who don't know the Circle personally will believe the circle's false propaganda spread across the grimoire network and will be willing to give the Circle another chance.

Another significant change that Circle made was that those that were named in the articles spread by super brain card defaming Circle were all let go and replaced with new members. This way, the Circle's leader pushed all the blame for its past crimes on the previous leader of the Circle and its old generation members.

And then apologized on behalf of his predecessors for their mistake. This way, he once again solidified his image as a boy scout who is morally upright and often naive regarding his att.i.tude and behavior. Winning the hearts of all the young and inexperienced ladies. Not a wrong move on the Circle's leaders' part. His speech was purely meant to show the people that he is innocent and had no idea of Circle's past. But he is willing to shoulder the blame for the mistakes committed by his predecessors while rectifying everything that is wrong with the circle, slowly turning it into the promised changed and improved organization.

A well thought and adequately executed move. But not enough to fool the people with the bit of brain because the crimes committed by the Circle in Sky Blossom city were no joke, each one of the crimes was more gruesome than the other. If one were to list them, people would lose faith in humanity. The Circle's leader knew that it would be hard to defend the circle, so he did not hesitate to throw the old members of the Circle under the bus to save his image as an upstanding citizen with a naive conviction that everyone deserves a shot at redemption.

"Dumba.s.s..." The more I thought about the circle's leaders' actions, the more stupid they felt. I do not know what's his fixation to appear the good guy. For that, he threw the old members of the circle under the bus. They are the core members of the circle with the highest authority and realm. p.i.s.sing them off will come at a cost. I bet the circle must be in total chaos right now. Especially the new members, seeing how their leader saved his a.s.s by using their seniors as the scapegoat. At first, when they joined the Circle, they felt they had made an achievement. But now, seeing their seniors' situation, they started to have second thoughts about their future.

I just wanted to take away the public support of the circle in sun blossom city, but who knew that the Circle's leader had an odd fixation about maintaining the good guy image and would end up starting a civil war within his organization. This turn of events was more than I expected. I would be a fool not to use this G.o.dsend opportunity to my advantage.

"Van, Old Ben, it seems we will have to move our plans faster." Now that the members of the circle were in a state of chaos, it would be best for me to make use of this confusion and launch a siege on my enemies, the Circle, Sun Blossom Branch.

"No, Problem boss, the boys are ready. When they heard that we would be avenging our fallen brothers, they were more pumped than ever." Van a.s.sured me that the members of the TSR guild are ready for the fore-coming war as it was to get revenge against the organization that was responsible for ma.s.sacring their old guild leaders and members.

"My soldiers are always ready to be deployed, Master Wyatt." Old Ben kept it short, being a man with few words.

"Good." I was delighted to hear that members of the TSR guild and Tiger Squadron were ready to be deployed at my command any moment. Now the problem of transportation of my forces from sky blossom city to the sun blossom city remains.

The movement of a huge number of card apprentices moving from Sky Blossom city to Sun Blossom city is bound to attract attention. And the Circle will be alerted about our ambush. Due to the articles on the grimoire network exposing their crimes, Circle already knew that somebody was targeting them. If they knew that a ma.s.sive number of card apprentices were heading towards their city, then would they make sure that my forces would not even be able to enter the Sun Blossom City.

Not to mention the cities that would approve the move of many card apprentices from Sky blossom city to Sun blossom city. As times are tough and jobs are limited and keeping the economy floating is very hard for the cities; therefore, the immigration of citizens needs to be approved by both cities. And neither of the city would be willing to suddenly lose or gain so many card apprentices without a proper reason for the move or the visit. If you consider the military laws about personal forces, it opens up another can of worms.
