Plan!

"Mr. Zhou, the Duke of Somerset called me last night. I've disclosed everything related to your situation to him. We just have to wait and see if he takes the bait," early in the morning, Guan Ze called.

"Don't worry; he should. Besides, Guan Lao, you know better than I do the value of the Victoria Parliament Scepter and the Crown to them." 

"That's true. We can only wait patiently," Guan Ze agreed. After all, he was quite familiar with this matter.

"If there are any developments, I'll call you right away."

"Okay."

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Chao got up from bed. It was still early, not even 8 a.m. He didn't blame Guan Ze for calling so early; these circumstances tend to make people anxious.

After freshening up and changing clothes, he headed to the hotel's restaurant for breakfast.

When Zhou Chao finished his meal and returned to his room, he met Lin Wu and Todd on their way down. Todd had a rather gloomy expression.
