Suburb.
A car is parked on the dirt road.
Beside the road, there's a lotus pond about the size of a sports field, filled with blooming white lotuses.
A gentle breeze blows, causing the green lotus leaves to dance, while the delicate fragrance of the white lotuses spreads, soothing the senses.
The two men who got out of the car stand beside this verdant lotus pond, one of them says with surprise, "Fish, why do you think the Team Leader wants to meet us here?"
"...Xander, I don't know the reason either." Lude Johnsons shrugged and speculated, "However, he messaged me to meet here, maybe it's because he doesn't want to be seen by others. After all, Waldor Jones is still impersonating him as the Team Leader."
"So you're saying the Team Leader is trying to avoid suspicion?"
Xander Harl is quite puzzled, "Waldor Jones had been suffering defeat after defeat, so how did he suddenly manage to quell the chaos, earning everyone's trust, and getting endorsed as the Team Leader…"
