Chapter 166: You still have one chance

The old lady's mouth twitched slightly, her feelings a mixed bag, feeling like something was off but unable to put her finger on it. She managed a strained, "Thanks."

Hesitating, she asked again, "Sword King, previously at Emerald Phoenix Peak outside the Sky Sect..."

Before she could finish, Lucas spoke up. "Let's keep things separate. I've learned something from years of sword practice: things change. If you're trying to say that Gary's issue has nothing to do with Emerald Phoenix Peak, that's a bit of a stretch."

"If I say that Blackwood has forgotten about Emerald Phoenix Peak, you wouldn't believe me either. What if one day, someone asks Emerald Phoenix Peak to attack Blackwood? What then? That's what really matters."

Lucas grinned, "That's all there is to it, no need to ask more."

"Ha, you really see the big picture, Sword King!" The old lady left happily, knowing that the folks at Blackwood were still reasonable.
