He knew that those who worked with him to create the chaos would very likely be unable to wake up, and would be violently suppressed. It was very likely that the captain would not be fooled, would not believe that this group of lower-class people was affected by illusions.

Would this "island landing" really be successful?
These things, Horn couldn't calculate, nor could he figure them out. But he knew that another Wen Xishu would not appear again.
