THE ENEMY'S MOTIVE

At Veronica's mention, Arthur knitted his eyebrows. 'I'll get them back for separating us for so long.

"And they are talking about advanced surgery. Not magic. What's advanced medical surgery anyway?" Veronica glanced at Ovior while talking.

Ovior raised his hands as if he surrendered. "Don't ask me. I never heard the term."

Veronica suggested, "We need to find out what that is."

Arthur interrupted her, "Before all that, think about this plan. The enemy wanted to separate us. What's their motive? Was their target Nica or me? I almost did something forbidden. If I succeeded in doing that, the world would be in chaos. Maybe their target was chaos."

Veronica shuddered. "All right, don't say something so scary. How in the world would someone come up with this critically ugly plan?"
