While the various enemies of the Frost family were already waiting for the attack to begin, two of the infiltrators into Viktoria's family were on their way to where Simon was under house arrest.
A man and a woman were walking through the inner streets of the Frost estate, dressed as servants of that family, showing no spiritual fluctuations.
To any unsuspecting person who saw them there, they would look like two mortals without any cultivation.
But not only that, given how long they had served this family, anyone in this place would be in doubt even if someone were to point a finger and name them as traitors.
One of them had been in this family for more than 40 years!
Even the woman, the youngest of the two in this organization, had been living and serving this family for 15 years.
But not only that, both had served the family with excellence over the years, often delivering better results than requested.
As such, anyone would give the benefit of the doubt to these people if they were accused of treason or of being infiltrators into this family.
However, both were in this organization to assist outside interests in manipulating or destroying this family.
The Third Prince's interest was to have the Frost family on his side. He wanted to do this by overthrowing Aiken and putting Simon, someone favorable to him, in power. But if that was not possible, this imperial throne contender was willing to destroy this lineage!
That's why he had invested in this place for decades, and now his plans were finally maturing!
These two had been placed there by the prince, and amid Lothur and Viktoria's absence, the opportunity that the Secret Realm brought, those two would free Simon to fulfill their purpose there.
"What do you think of this plan?" The woman asked her companion, feeling a little nervous about their group's plan.
They knew about Lothur's origin and the characteristics of this young man when he joined the Frost family. But in a matter of months, he had changed completely, had become powerful, and had come up with revolutionary ideas.
That was rather impressive!
Because of this, such a woman was a bit suspicious about the actions of their group, something that would irritate Lothur immensely.
That man knew that his associate's concern was not misplaced, but he was confident in their leaders' plans. "Although Lothur really is a monster, he has no way to do anything against us. If he survives the Secret Realm, he will have two Nascent Soul Transcendents on his trail!
In a matter of days, he will be in the imperial prison, where he will either die or stay there for the rest of his life!"
The imperial prison was a terrible place not only because of the strength of its inmates and the fact that they lived practically free inside that impossible-to-escape place.
The focal point of everything, and what was responsible for that place being impossible to escape, was that it was impossible to cultivate inside it.
The imperial prison had powerful formations that made the place's interior practically barren of spiritual energy.
It wasn't to the point where there was nothing of spiritual energy there, but it was a minimal amount that was barely enough for a 3rd stage expert to regain their powers after casting one of their techniques.
That wasn't enough for someone to cultivate and continue their spiritual progress.
Without the possibility of cultivating, no inmate would even come close to achieving what was necessary to breach the defenses created by Gold-grade formations, the strongest in the entire empire.
According to rumors, even the emperor, supposedly the strongest man in the empire, would have difficulty escaping from there if he were one of the inmates.
Therefore, once Lothur entered there, this man was confident that young Ritter would no longer progress spiritually and, if not killed by the other inmates, would spend the rest of his life in prison.
The Ritter Motor Company would still exist to annoy Lothur's enemy families. Still, without the presence of its leader, the other associates could be convinced not to seek revenge.
Thus, this man felt that their organization's problems would be minimal.
"I hope that's right..." That woman said as she viewed Simon's residence. "The way Lothur is, and considering the wealth he would have in the future if he manages to escape the two Transcendents, that will be the end of us."
"You worry too much." The man said, smiling, for he was sure of what would happen next.
The battle would certainly have its risks, but everything should be fine as long as they survived today!
...
As those two moved into Simon's house and other allies of theirs positioned themselves around the Frost estate, this man was anxiously waiting for the moment to act.
Besides four people from the empire capital who were infiltrating this family, he had his son, wife, and half a dozen relevant elders who preferred him in Aiken's place.
Apart from his closest relatives, the others would not fight him if they had no chance of winning and would continue to accept the weak Aiken as patriarch. But if this man had the necessary outside support, these were people willing to start a rebellion on his side.
He kept himself informed through his son and wife. So he was aware of what was about to happen and the position of those favorable to him within the Frost family.
Hence, even with his cultivation sealed, this man was smiling while sitting on the couch in the living room of his home, as he felt his last minutes as an inmate of his own home.
'Aiken, Aiken, Aiken... You didn't want to be on the side of progress, so you can't complain about what's about to happen.' He wickedly smiled. 'You chose that. It was your decision.
Now I can only remove you from command of the family to save our lineage.'
"Sigh... I hope you and my brother get together in hell." He clenched his fists, feeling the urge to achieve ultimate power within this family rising to his head.
Improving his status was not so different from improving his level. As such, the feeling was delightful!
His son and wife came down from their rooms to wait for this moment beside him, both of them already with their armor and weapons, while Simon's wife had a spatial ring with items for her husband to use.
"Finally, that day has come, dad!" Viktoria and Annaliese's cousin commented as he patted his old man on the back. "After today, we will get rid of the damned Lothur, control the family, and still be partners in the Ritter Motor Company!
Fate is on our side!"
Simon smiled, seeing how the actions of his enemies were slowly getting on his side to secure his future as the patriarch Frost.
"With me in power, the family will return to the position of glory from centuries ago!" He remarked to those two as they waited for the people who would release him.
Amid this, Mabel and Aiken were listening to them from one of the rooms in that house, both wearing spiritual cloaking items to prevent others from noticing their spiritual fluctuations.
Due to the content of the comments, the two were red with anger, wanting to spill the blood of this family of three.
'Just one more moment...' Mabel clasped her hands, waiting for whoever would release Simon.
