In fact, similar to Diluc.
Kaeya was also one of the few people in Mondstadt who knew about Kai's hidden identity.
Before this attack on the Goth Grand Hotel.
To prevent any uncontrollable accidents.
Kai had specifically sought out Kaeya and informed him about the impending action.
Naturally, he received cooperation and support.
After all, they were so familiar; in the past, when dealing with troublemakers in Mondstadt.
The two had often worked together behind the scenes.
In this situation, dealing with a mere Fatui.
Setting them up was obviously an easy task.
"Mm-hmm~"
Kaeya nodded without a doubt.
Removing the surveillance arrangements was, of course, a preparation specifically made for the operation.
"But framing Liyue for this, that's a method I had never thought of."
"Or should I say, as expected of Master Kai?"
"To come up with such a scheme to trick the Fatui."
"No choice... after all, I can't bring trouble to Jean."
Kai sighed faintly.
Although he was reluctant to admit it, the current Mondstadt truly couldn't contend with Snezhnaya.
A direct attack on the Goth Grand Hotel was not a fun matter.
Such an act, equivalent to destroying diplomatic relations.
Could completely provide Snezhnaya with a pretext for war, using it as a declaration to attack Mondstadt.
In a state where Grand Master Varka and the elite of the Knights of Favonius had not yet returned.
And Mondstadt was in an extremely weakened state, without much strength to act freely.
Once such a thing happened... then the situation would truly be troublesome.
Although Kai possessed extremely powerful combat strength.
At most, he could only protect Jean and a part of Mondstadt City.
Beyond that, more Citizens of Mondstadt would be powerless to resist Snezhnaya's attack.
Even if he could ignore those casualties, as a Dandelion Knight.
If such a thing happened, Jean would definitely feel exceptionally guilty.
Kai did not want to see his wife in such a state of remorse.
"Liyue is different from Mondstadt; there are hidden Adepti protecting it."
"If the Fatui genuinely conclude that this attack was orchestrated by Liyue and launch an assault on them, that would be even better... I think other nations on the continent of Teyvat would also be happy to see the Fatui suffer a setback."
Kai wasn't too familiar with how strong the Adepti's power truly was.
But from the contents of his memory... dealing with a mere Fatui Harbinger clearly wouldn't be much of a problem.
If that truly wasn't enough, the Liyue region also had the God of Geo, Morax, personally overseeing it.
Angering the most ancient god, even the one in Snezhnaya probably couldn't handle it.
"Adepti..."
"Master Kai, you've really thought through even the Fatui's aftermath."
The matter of Adepti in the Liyue region.
Perhaps to ordinary people, it was just a rumor.
But for the Captain of the Knights of Favonius Cavalry.
Kaeya naturally had channels for relevant intelligence, and thus could be 100% certain.
Those Adepti who existed in Liyue's history had not all died out.
They were still secretly protecting Liyue, preventing any potential invaders.
"Then that's their own problem, isn't it?"
"Who told these reckless scoundrels they could ambush my Jean?"
A hint of murderous intent flashed in Kai's eyes.
Gazing at the distant sky, he did not speak the latter half of the thought hidden in his heart.
And... dealing with the Fatui in the Mondstadt region was only the beginning.
Towards the Harbinger called 'The Lady'.
Kai had no intention of letting her off.
But acting now was still a bit too early.
Once everything was over, and this person left Mondstadt.
That would be the time to settle all scores.
"Anyway, I'll be taking my leave first."
He waved his hand, having stayed outside for so long.
The act he needed to put on was more or less complete.
As for what came next, he naturally had to go towards Springvale.
Kai didn't want Jean to discover any flaws that would lead her to conclude that tonight's events were his doing.
Or even, through a series of deductions, expose his previous hidden identities.
After all, being scolded by his wife was very painful, wasn't it?
What, single people can't experience this feeling?
Ah, well... then never mind.
The next morning... leisurely waking up at the Dawn Winery.
Bidding farewell to Diluc, Kai made a detour to Springvale to buy freshly hunted ingredients for the morning.
Then he leisurely returned to Mondstadt City.
By this time, after a whole night of fermentation, the once free city of Mondstadt had fallen into a semi-martial law state.
The Fatui, who were diplomatic personnel, suffered an unknown attack at the Goth Grand Hotel.
There were even a large number of casualties.
This kind of action, which made the Knights of Favonius rejoice… ah, no, it was an act that caused them great distress.
Naturally, it attracted the attention of the entire high command.
Therefore, even the Knights of Favonius who were supposed to be on vacation were forcibly assembled.
They began patrolling around Mondstadt to prevent the unknown perpetrator from threatening the ordinary citizens living in the city.
"Good morning, Swan, and Lawrence."
"Uh… what's going on in the city?"
Walking to the city gate, Master Kai found two Knights of Favonius who had been on night duty and were still diligently performing their duties at the gate.
He raised his hand, pretending not to know, and greeted them.
Although the Knights of Favonius were searching for suspicious individuals throughout the city, it was clear that Master Kai was not within the scope of their investigation.
Hearing his question, Lawrence yawned tiredly and replied softly, "Oh, it's Master Kai."
"You don't know, but in the early hours of this morning…"
"The Fatui's station Goth Grand Hotel was smashed up by a mysterious person."
"Smashed up?"
Master Kai feigned a surprised expression, his face full of disbelief.
"Yes, and not only that, it is said that the Fatui suffered heavy casualties."
"Aside from a small number of personnel who successfully evacuated from Mondstadt last night, most of them died on the spot in that attack."
"However, the hotel owner did receive a large sum of Mora in compensation from the attacker…"
"That's truly gratifying."
Master Kai replied without hesitation.
"This means the people of Mondstadt suffered no losses, and only the Fatui were unlucky."
"This kind of thing…"
"Actually, I think so too."
The two Knights of Favonius whispered to each other.
Seeing other people still entering and exiting Mondstadt, they quickly coughed twice.
Clearly, they couldn't express such opinions as Knights of Favonius.
"Anyway, you two keep up the good work. I'm going to the Knights of Favonius headquarters to take a look."
Master Kai waved his hand and walked into the city without any hindrance.
"I'm off."
"Goodbye, Master Kai."
The two Knights of Favonius quickly replied.
