Li is the second of those chosen by Ezra and a shadowy figure. During a meeting of Ezra’s group regarding Callum and Reina and their attempts to influence politics, both Li and Nothazai notice in the footage that Callum is using Reina to boost his powers; Julian does not notice this. After some arguing, the group forms a plan to target the Nova Corporation, Callum’s family’s business, to pressure Callum into compliance.

However, Li has doubts about the effectiveness of this approach. Li also doubts the information Ezra gave them, as Callum was supposed to be dead. Because of these doubts, Li researched Libby, whom Ezra insisted was not important. They recognize her as the real threat. While the others pursue the Nova Corporation, Li is firm in their belief that Libby is the key to the Society.
