Chapter 13 - The Ultimate Ace in the Hole

"There's enough. It is time to start the next phase of the plan."

"The powder?"

Jarvis nodded.

"Yes, the powder. With 20 people, we should be able to succeed in one night."

"Good," Lucas agreed. "Shall I go inform them? We need to start soon, it is already getting dark and tomorrow is going to be a busy day. We need to carry out the plan today."

"Indeed. Yes, let's go announce the plan."

Lucas unzipped the tent that they were inside of, and he and Jarvis stepped out of it. They walked toward the clearing where the twenty people who had already consumed the Maho drink were waiting for them.

"I'll speak," Lucas whispered to Jarvis. Jarvis agreed silently.

Lucas cleared his throat, catching the people's attention.

"Everyone," he called out, "each and every one of you has consumed Maho in its true, optimal form. You now realize how beautiful it is - how much you miss this feeling of being high...how much you miss the feeling of being happy. It is our mission to convert the whole empire to Maho, but there is a problem. You all now understand the wonders of Maho, but that is not true for everyone."

"Yes!" someone from the group of 20 called out. "My friend, for example, will refuse to drink anything we offer him, claiming that it is some dangerous drug. How do we convince everyone to consume Maho?"

"That is an excellent question that I was about to answer without your insignificant self asking it," Lucas replied. "If we simply try to force Maho into people, they will reject us. However, there is something else we can do."

Lucas motioned to Jarvis, who put down his backpack and took something out of it.

It was a 1-liter metallic capsule in the shape of a bottle.

Lucas took the bottle and showed it to the people.

"Inside this bottle is also Maho - but in gas form. Unfortunately, it isn't nearly as strong. It isn't powerful enough to give you the power to bend the laws of physics like me and Jarvis have promised to teach you, but it is strong enough for people to notice it and feel more relaxed - and more willing to try Maho. The plan for tonight is that we each take as many of these bottles as we can and rush through the whole empire, dropping the bottles everywhere. Holes in the wall, chimneys, sewers, anywhere and everywhere. And so, when Jarvis activates them in the morning, everyone will immediately breathe in this watered down version of Maho. Think of it like a vaccine, except that Maho itself is not a disease but rather an enhancement."

"TLDR!" one of the people from the group called out.

Lucas sighed.

"We're gonna cover the whole empire in Maho by morning. Then, they will be able to experience a watered down version of Maho and be significantly more willing to try the true Maho in liquid form."

Lucas turned to Jarvis.

"I assume the reason for this is because unless people at least breathe in Maho, they will be unable to see the hallucinations caused by Maho?" Lucas whispered.

"Yes," Jarvis confirmed. "Unless Maho enters their body, they won't see hallucinations and we'll be unable to force the real Maho into them."

"I almost feel bad deceiving everyone, but I realize that this is for their own good, so I am willing to help you, Mr. Jarvis."
