A game of manipulation, deception, and calculated risk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What exactly was his reason? What was the plan?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First, his main aim was to redirect the hunt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Oliver had remained hidden, the inquisitors would have continued searching, dragging out the pursuit indefinitely. Their patrols would have expanded, their search growing sharper and more ruthless with time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eventually, they would have found something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By engaging in battle, he took control of the narrative—made himself the sole target.

Every flicker, every ember had a purpose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was using them in a controlled manner to exorcise the demons he found most troublesome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While engaging Sera in conversation, his mind had been working non-stop. Analyzing their troop formations, noting weak points, observing their movements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was quite simple: the strongest were in front, the weaker ones behind for support.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he cut through them slowly, subtly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He let them believe he was merely thrashing in desperation, going berserk out of fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in truth—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was thinning their numbers right under their noses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thirdly, he had already planned on forcing a strategic retreat from the moment they surrounded him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew he couldn't win a direct battle against overwhelming numbers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that wasn't the point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Victory wasn't always about defeating your opponent.

They were scattered prey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That's when his real strategy began.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ambush. Assassination. Traps. Picking them off in silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, there were complications.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sera was far stronger than he had expected. She hadn't given him even a moment to prepare traps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was relentless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only was she powerful—she was perceptive. She had known from the very beginning that he was hiding something and had kept forcing him to reveal his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, he had managed to hold on, keeping her from figuring out the full extent of his plan before it was too late.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't doubt her abilities—if she had even a little more time, she would have unraveled everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that was fair enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because now, he had created enough chaos to make pursuit far more difficult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next, he had also used psychological warfare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he had simply run and hidden, his enemies would have thought of him as nothing more than a rat scurrying away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But by showing calculated defiance—by making them struggle just to wound him—he changed the way they saw him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He became something more than prey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He became a threat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A living uncertainty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And uncertainty is fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would make the enemy more hesitant to engage recklessly in the future, allowing him to create fear and doubt around his presence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And if your enemy fears you… they will always hesitate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And hesitation was all he needed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would buy him time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And time was power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And finally, this was also a long-term investment for his influence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His fight had never been just about survival.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was about turning this situation to his long-term advantage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By making himself appear like a selfless teacher protecting a helpless girl, he secured something far more valuable than an immediate victory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Loyalty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oliver was a strong believer in investing in talent early.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl had potential.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had displayed a unique ability to sense espera—something rare, something unnatural.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A mysterious physique. A possible exorcist in the making.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If nurtured correctly, she could become a force to be reckoned with.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And even if their paths separated one day, her existence alone could be useful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Information.
