Lex had rarely taken such a massive risk before. His preference was to act from a position of safety if possible. While he was becoming more active as of late, he still knew what lines not to cross. The closest he'd ever come to something as dangerous as this was when he used Jack to approach the seven Dwarf Dragon Dao Lords.
Now, though, he was approaching via his last lifeline. If anything happened to the necklace, it was unlikely that he'd be able to get back his body and system. Jack, while formidable, was no match for his stalker.
Although Lex had done some basic research on the Dao Lord, it was not nearly enough to be sure. Heck, he could not even be sure that the Fortune Lord was the very same as the one who had written the letter. He could be someone who came afterwards.
