Besides the aforementioned legitimate operations, Liu An naturally had another plan in place.
So far, he had never directly contacted Ren Zhong even once, and even reached a tacit compromise with this newly appointed Earl regarding the dark energy burst in the Black Mist Zone without face-to-face interaction.
