"Lan Clan Head, are you sure you have the strength to protect it?" An old man seated on the body of a gigantic ape grinned hoarsely, staring at the Forbidden Tale held by a youth, one whose feathers seemed haggard.

"Pretty sure I do." The Lan Clan Head said while panting a little, "You've been after me for a month now. Despite that, it's still in my possession."

"Are you sure?" Another voice resounded in the area as a middle-aged woman arrived, riding the back of a crane.

"There's a reason my eagle is superior." The Lan Clan Head said, flapping the wings on his back to take flight immediately.

"You won't leave!" The middle-aged woman shouted, unleashing a beam of light at the eagle.

"Waah!" The Lan Clan Head broke into tears instantly, bawling like a baby. But despite that, he continued to flee, startling the middle-aged lady.

"He's able to maintain his composure despite being affected by my power?" The middle-aged lady was shocked.
