Soon after, Lord Protector smiled and said, "Mr. Wind, there's no need to be so angry. It's just a little Chris, isn't it? What's the big deal? Why get so worked up?"
Leif Wind glanced at Lord Protector and said impatiently, "So what do you suggest I do now that the Dragon Emblem fragment is in Chris' hands?"
"Simple!" Lord Protector calmly replied. "Since Chris wants Wind family to hand me over within three days, and if they don't, he will come and destroy Wind family, why don't we set a trap? After three days, Chris will willingly walk into the trap!"
"Hill Cloudtop belongs to Wind family. Once Chris arrives, it's certain death for him!"
Finally, a sly smile appeared on Lord Protector's face.
Hearing this, Leif Wind's eyes lit up, and he exclaimed, "Great idea!"
"Hehehe," Leif Wind chuckled triumphantly. "Chris really doesn't know any better, daring to threaten to come and destroy my Wind family! If he dares to come, I'll make sure he meets his end! I want everyone to know that the Wind family is not to be trifled with!"
As he spoke, a cold, murderous intent flickered in Leif Wind's eyes.
At the same time, Leif Wind glanced deeply at Lord Protector, secretly feeling wary of the old fox. Everything was being orchestrated by Lord Protector, leaving Wind family to bear the brunt of it all. A sense of caution towards Lord Protector arose in his heart.
However, Lord Protector didn't concern himself with such thoughts. He picked up his tea cup and took a sip. The struggle between Wind family and Chris, regardless of the outcome, was beneficial to him. If Wind family emerged victorious, it would be ideal. Killing Chris, the foremost war god of Amerosia, would be a severe blow to the current Master William, clearing a significant obstacle from his path to seize Master William's position. If Chris were to triumph... well, Wind family was in a cooperative relationship with him. Even if Chris destroyed Wind family, it wouldn't cause him any loss. On the contrary, Lord Protector could then incite the strength of the other nine heritage families to aid him in vying for the position of Master William.
From his perspective, regardless of the outcome, he would be in a secure position.
Leif Wind, with a stern look, glanced at Invincible and said, "Invincible, I'm giving you a chance to make amends. Get ready, if Chris dares to come within three days, you must kill him for me!"
"This is your last chance. If you fail..."
Leif Wind sneered.
"Master, I swear to complete the mission!" Invincible immediately declared.
"Good," Leif Wind continued. "The second task is to retrieve all the Dragon Emblem fragments for me. Do you understand?"
Having said this, Leif Wind gave a threatening look to Lord Protector.
Lord Protector remained unperturbed, as if he hadn't noticed any of this.
Leif Wind felt disinterested and could only glare at Invincible. Considering Invincible's status as an elder of Wind family, he decided to give him one final chance. If Invincible failed again, Leif Wind wouldn't hesitate to act ruthlessly. Wind family had no use for incompetence.
"Understood, I'll remember," Invincible said respectfully, nodding.
Taking a deep breath, Invincible clenched his fists. He knew this was his last chance. If he failed once more, Leif Wind would surely have him killed.
But this time, he felt confident. Although Chris was formidable, this was Wind family! Compared to the ancient, prestigious lineage of the Wind family, Chris was nothing but a mere ant. Some heritage couldn't be compensated for by time alone.
