The Sleeping Dragon’s Plan

"Kong Ming, do we have any hope of retaining our influence in North America?" Emperor Tianhao asked.

"No, my lord. We have no hope," Zhuge Liang replied bluntly, causing the emperor to sigh.

"Why are you so sure? It's not set in stone!" Owl retorted, clearly reluctant to abandon North America.

"Before I answer your question, Lord Owl, may I inquire if you can win against a Hell Lord who can use his full power?" asked Zhuge Liang.

Hearing Zhuge Liang refer to the Hell Lord, Owl knew what he was implying. After all, it was Owl who had provided all the data he had collected about Daniel Emberweave to Zhuge Liang and the Qing Empire.
