Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master novel Chapter 672

"It seems necessary to send someone to keep an eye on Blood Lord Leo and monitor his every movement. He has to be prevented from messing up again," Alyssa suggested after thinking for a while.

"Then who do you suggest we send? Blood Lord Leo is a master at the Supernal Stage. Ordinary spirit manipulators are no match for him and are not the right people for the job," Woods said. He couldn't figure out who could be sent to watch over Blood Lord Leo.

"Of course, you are right about ordinary spirit manipulators," said Alyssa. "They are not the right people for the job. But you seem to forget something very important. It seems you underestimate the power of women and how easily they can bring down a great man." She then paused for a moment. Just enough to let that sink in. Then nodding with satisfaction, she added, "It should be a cinch. Let's find a girl within our ranks. A slick girl, clever enough to play Leo like a fiddle, and have him do whatever she wants." From the look on her face, you could tell she already had a suitable candidate in mind.

"Are you thinking of letting Laney go and have a try?" Woods — Alyssa's brother, alongside whom she had fought for a long time, immediately guessed what she was thinking.

"You got it spot-on. If you need someone to play hooker, look no further. Laney is the real deal," Alyssa enthused.

However, Woods was doubtful and did not seem to agree with Alyssa. He voiced out his thoughts. "I'm afraid it might be a dangerous idea for us to do this. Leo might not be as gullible and easy to deal with as we think. What if Laney's cover is blown, and Leo learns of what we have been scheming. You can imagine his anger and disappointment with us. That will mean the end of trust between him and us. Such a fallout is not something you would wish for, I guess. Of course, I am not doubting Laney's abilities. I believe in her, but after her mission to kill Rocky failed for the second time, I have a feeling that there is something wrong with her." Since Laney's return to the camp, Woods had talked to her several times. Somehow, he had a feeling, she looked a bit rusty — a far cry from her usual self. In a way, she seemed different, even though she had not done anything particularly. Only that Woods could not put a name to what was wrong with her, nor could he find any evidence to support his suspicions.

Although Woods was vocal in expressing his concerns, Alyssa still believed Laney was the best candidate for the job. She tried to convince Woods. "Laney knows how to maneuver her way through tough situations, once she has her eyes set on something. Trust me, she may have suffered a small setback, but that only serves a motivation for her next role. I'm pretty sure, she's yearning for another chance to prove herself. Among my former students, she is someone I know well enough. She may not be a spirit manipulator, but once she has her sights trained on a goal, she is capable of what we might never achieve with a thousand soldiers. Let us trust her on this and see if she can pull off something. I'm pretty confident about her. Of course, Rocky was just lucky to survive. But Leo may not be that fortunate. You can bet on her to go in there and rip the jackass apart! Anyway, what we need at the moment is not to finish Leo off. But we ought to make sure that from now on, he will only do according to our wishes. We cannot afford any of his blunders anymore," Alyssa said coldly. Indeed, she was so dissatisfied with Leo's conduct in the battle with Rocky. She just couldn't get over it yet.
