Fortunately the Psychic Samurai isn't naive enough to believe she or the people she's hidden can stay under the radar. But because she knows what's in store, she can delay it as long as possible. In other words, this isn't the only trick she has in the queue.
> > It may be up to Faite to reconcile the universe's sense of order vs Liu Xi's small brand of chaos, since she's always been an aberration in the Parodyverse even when it was normal. She can make small changes to reality so the universe believes it's supposed to be that way, as long as the Moderator doesn't question it directly (which is different from a retcon, where everyone believes it's always been that way).

And the Hooded Hood changes what's in the past to affect the present and the future. Faite changes only what's in the present to affect the future, which doesn't hold up well to scrutiny. That's why she only does that when there's nothing to lose or a very important reason.

The Psychic Samurai's condo not being in the right place, though...unless he goes to look at it personally, he'd probably chalk it up to his minions being idiots.

"Idiots! You were probably looking at the wrong building."

Being somewhat intuitive I bet Liu Xi is a little afraid of him. Lara would sense some darkness around him but she also senses some around the Hooded Hood, so she'd probably want to meet him. The Psychic Samurai distrusts anyone who's that secluded with that much power - she has her eye on him.
