Four Split Personalities

Just like that, although Motan was currently very serious with a solemn gaze, he was actually just openly daydreaming. The reason wasn’t hard to guess.

To put it bluntly, changing the subject could help Yu Chen calm down. After all, Motan realized that his earlier interruption was truly inappropriate, and if the situation were allowed to develop, even someone as good-tempered as Yu Chen could become very dangerous. The ideal topic shift, of course, would be such a formidable opponent as Foster Ward.

In fact, it was exactly so. Motan, who was unaware that Foster had been replaced by a certain [Witch], should indeed feel the pressure. According to his initial plan, by now Foster should have at least lost one army group, yet after these minutes of maneuvering, the opponent hadn’t revealed any flaw that Motan could exploit and even pushed back his vanguard.

This was absolutely! Absolutely! Absolutely beyond Motan’s expectations!

While the ’Black Vatican Priest’ didn’t have any interaction with Foster Ward, when he donned his other mask, as ’Tan Mo,’ he was truly the founder of the [Clown Brand], and Foster Ward was a major player Motan discovered during his last trip to Academy City to scout and flirt.

Of course, while it was a ’casual’ find, Foster definitely deserved the position of [Red Heart K]. Regarding his professional ability, Motan believed that many things, even he couldn’t surpass that ever-calm man who remained composed no matter what happened.

During his initial time at Academy City, amidst brief interactions with Foster (while mostly accompanying Diana on dates), Motan gained significant insight into him.

In some sense, this understanding even surpassed the level gained from six years of living closely with Lian.

They are both odd people, and the kind who can seamlessly blend into normal society without any sense of incongruity, closer to ’monsters’ rather than ’geniuses,’ sharing enough of a connection so long as their personalities weren’t too mismatched.

Of course, this didn’t mean Motan completely understood Foster Ward, like not knowing that the [Red Heart K] under him listens to RAP daily or whether he ever considered Motan’s previous proposal to marry into the [Death Angel].

Frankly, Motan wasn’t interested in knowing. As the JOKER of [Clown Brand], he only needed to know what the JOKER should know.

As long as Foster Ward remained effective as always, whatever secrets he held didn’t really matter.

Even though...

Motan truly didn’t expect Foster to be this strong in the command domain.

Honestly, it’s a bit absurd.

From just the recent simple rounds of ’maneuvering,’ Foster shifted from being an ’easy-to-defeat opponent’ to one ’very likely to defeat him.’

Logically, according to Motan’s character, this realization should cause significant pressure, and while not enough to cause a stomach ache, a bit of cold sweat and blood pressure rise would be inevitable.

Yet miraculously, at this moment, despite acknowledging Foster’s strength, Motan had no sense of nervousness, something even he found unexpected.

He didn’t try to search for the answer.

Because he knew the answer was right beside him.

Even with his head down, eyes closed, and breath held, he could still feel her presence, and as long as she was there, in these simulations where no real casualties would occur, Motan would absolutely not be nervous.

Motan understood that as long as Yu Chen was by his side, even if she did nothing, it was enough to make him stronger.

But Yu Chen was unaware... or rather, while she understood this rationally, she still feared that she’d hold Motan back.

[That’s why I’m giving you something to do~]

A gentle smile appeared on his lips, as Motan gently placed a white king piece at the center of the sand table and softly said, "Order, Fourth Army Group, units A1, A7, A9, B5, B14 assemble and proceed at maximum speed to target point five."

"Ah! Writing it down! It’s A1, 7, 9 and B5, 14 groups, of the Fourth Army, right!"

Yu Chen nervously shivered a bit, then hurriedly scribbled Motan’s order onto the instruction card in front of her. Her handwriting was beautiful and efficient, not as remarkably fast as a mainstream doctor’s group, but certainly not slow either, with high legibility! As mentioned earlier, it’s beautiful handwriting, unlike the ’cipher’ some ordinary folks struggle to decipher.

However, just as Yu Chen finished the instruction card and was about to get up—

"Order, the rest of Fourth Army to proceed at maximum speed to target point seven and construct a position on site."

"Okay!"

"Order, Sixth Army Group, Ninth Army Group, Twelfth Army Group to relocate positions northwards... north, south, west... northwards until convergence with First, Second, Third Army Groups."
