"Haha!" Harry burst out laughing as he added, "That old weasel Joel is very cunning. He'd want to get a stone ball through whatever means necessary if he hadn't had one already, so you best be on your guard. He won't dare steal from us, the three ancient clans, but I'm not so certain about your Woods family. That is, if he doesn’t have a clear idea of your true strength."
"Hmph! Unless he doesn't come over. If he dares come to our Woods family, TH make him regret it!" scoffed Fane, absolutely confident with his current strength.
Harry nodded thoughtfully and replied, " Yes, and I heard that the Skies Pavilion had lost six masters in the peak stage of the true god-level. When they traversed the
dangerous area, they encountered numerous strong monster beasts and fought with two other ancient clans. The Skies Pavilion suffered the biggest loss this time, and they might not dare confront your Woods family."
“That'll be for the best. Although I’m not afraid of them, the Woods family will suffer greatly if they go all out on us, and I don’t want our people to be sacrificed. Our Woods family is growing speedily right now, training rigorously since we have martial enhancement materials." Fane then threw out his sword and, jumping on it, gestured with his hands to Harry. "I'll be taking my leave now, Master Harry. Let's contact each other if anything arises."
With that, Fane flew out on his sword and left.
Harry was silent as he watched Fane leave before he commented, "It's difficult for the Woods family to not progress with this young man in their family. Such a person looks at the bigger picture. Although they have the strength to defeat the Skies Pavilion right now, Fane didn't act out of impulsiveness and instead wants to buy more time for the Woods family so they can grow stronger. They won't be defeated easily, even if they're to fight the Skies Pavilion."
Meanwhile, at the Skies Pavilion...
Joel glowered intensely.
"Fane is the one to be blamed. If it wasn't for him, we don't need to only get two dangerous areas for three ancient clans. There isn’t enough to go around, and it's bad enough that we had to fight those from the other clans, but we still had to fight those strong monster beasts. Ah, curses! Not only did we lose a few thousands of people, but we even lost many from the true god-level!" Joel grew angrier the more he thought about it, dumping the blame entirely on Fane. If that young man did not have such astonishing combat power and made them temporarily back down, their ancient clans would not suffer such a huge loss.
"That’s right. It's all because of Fane, and we should blame it all on him. If it wasn’t for him, our Lagorio family wouldn’t be suffering. I heard that my father followed them to the so-called Bright Snow Mountain and many people died there. My father, especially, was badly wounded and almost died there!" growled Lily, wanting nothing more than to tear Fane into shreds.
Joel glanced at Lily, who was beside him, as his heart was filled with extreme regret. Why did he allow his lust to consume him that he married this woman? He would not have to go through so many problems had he not.
