It's not that the situation seems convenient for mc. If it isn't convenient for mc, then he wouldn't even be there in the first place. Would Thaddeus call him for a mission if there were rank 3 or 4 cultivators involved? We are simply told of the events from MC's perspective and it's not as if he has not failed any missions before (lance family)
That didn't make much sense to me, it's a mission of the utmost importance, they're going against the royal family, they have controlled the region for over 2000 years, they have the power to easily destroy a great noble family, they have money to hire powerful cultivators to do the dirty work, and does a union of noble families send a bunch of weaklings to this mission? This makes no sense, William is part of a noble family of medium power, the family to which he belongs is not the strongest family into the medium family ranking, nor is he the strongest guard of the family and yet he's stronger than this Abel ... That really doesn't make sense.
