Chapter 656 - "Defender"

Unknown to Ainsley and Cellino, while they were cursing Code-B and Code-L, Code-B and Code-L themselves were currently talking about Ainsley. 

"Boss, don't you feel sorry for that baby? She just felt that unbearable pain...she is so pitiful." Code-B cautiously nudged Code-L with his fluffy tail. 

Code-L was silent for a moment before mumbling. 

"I didn't think she would use her luck manipulation ability once more." 

If she knew, she would have placed a restriction or something to prevent the baby from doing it. 

Maybe she could send a wisp of her consciousness to monitor that baby and warn her whenever that silly baby is about to do something harmful? 

Code-B looked at Code-L's troubled face and couldn't help but sigh. 

"Once that baby advanced her family to a high-ranking one, let's invite her to talk about her luck manipulation ability, okay? I think she's already not so dependent on it…" 

After all, the pain she felt served as a deterrent. 

Code-L obviously didn't feel comfortable knowing that Ainsley might be scarred for life because of what she had just experienced. 

Still, it's better than dying without knowing the cause. A short-lived pain is better than living life usually and suddenly dying. 

"...yeah. Let's invite her to talk about her luck manipulation ability." Code-L let out a long sigh. 

There's no way such a ground-breaking ability is without harm. 

Luck manipulation ability...is an ability that can determine one's fate, one's life or death, and determine many other things that normal humans can't do. 

It's almost close to God's ability. How can it end up on a human so easily like that? Clearly, it's this world's vicious plan to kill another 'foreign entity' that intruded their world. 

It was why only transmigrators would have an exclusive ability linked to their soul and their ability was often out of the norm, too powerful that it could disturb this world's balance. 

Ainsley's was one of the most dangerous. Clearly...the world itself didn't want her to live long. 

Who said that the world doesn't have consciousness? It has, ah. It is quietly trying to maintain balance in the world, and that's why...the Godfather was also seen as a threat. 

Code-L, a sage with a wise thought incomparable to others, could clearly see this deep scheme. 

But she didn't think it would happen to the descendants of the family that she vowed to protect. 

'I really have to warn that idiot!' 

While Code-B and Code-L were worrying about Ainsley, Ainsley silently hated the two sacred beasts for being indifferent and cruel. 

She actually thought that they rejected her because they wanted the twins born outside of the family to be their masters instead. 

Ainsley's mind was already not working too well because of the pain she had felt not too long ago. 

It was easy to be enveloped in negative feelings because...nothing seemed to be going well for her and her family. 

Ever since she met the 'real Ainsley' when she was in a coma. Yes, ever since that day…

Ainsley's thoughts already wandered everywhere, but she immediately shook her head. 

No, no, let's not be too pessimistic. It doesn't matter, even if my family has to participate in the second round. We can win...we will win! I believe it. 

Ainsley didn't realise that she had indeed relied too much on luck and hoped that everything would be smooth sailing without using any excess effort. 

However, with her luck manipulation ability 'sealed', Ainsley started to turn back to her old way of doing things– brave and passionate. 

She had never been someone who gave up easily. If she wasn't lucky, so what? She could work hard, and luck would come her way. 

Let's do this! 

That day, Ainsley waited until midnight to see the second round's arrangement and as expected, the lucky family who could pass the round without participating wasn't her family at all. 

It was someone ranked between 60-65th in the previous round. 

Ainsley shook her head before searching for her matched opponent. The website had just posted the list of assailant teams and the defender teams. 

Surprisingly, Ainsley's family was listed in the defender team, and their opponent was ranked 30th in the first round. 

It was...Naran Family, residing in a region not too far from the Roane Region. 

They only needed 30 minutes to reach the Roane Region using flying carriages or flying-type monsters. 

Coincidentally, this family was famous for their air forces– not because of their flying monsters but because of their advanced air transportations. 

Such a family was an absolute worst opponent for the Sloan Family, who didn't have anti-air measurements aside from the barrier. 

Seeing the arrangement, Ainsley's face paled. 

She immediately asked Martin to gather more Intel information about the Naran Family before she summoned the higher-ups in the middle of the night for an emergency meeting. 

Sitting at the head seat facing the round table surrounded by dozens of family members, Ainsley hung her head low. 

Elliana and Grandpa Yofan were already standing behind her, ready to assist her. 

The five buds and the 9 generals were also inside the room, coupled with the 6 elders and the other important higher-ups. 

With this, the meeting could start. 

Ainsley didn't waste her time with useless flattery or anything. She just slightly swept her gaze upon the members before opening her mouth. 

"Have you guys seen the mafia council website about the tournament's second round?" 

"We have." The members answered simultaneously. Of course, all of them had a serious look. 

"If that's the case...you know that we are assigned as a defender, and our opponent is someone with an excellent air force?" 

"...we know." 

Ainsley bit her lips at their answers. 

"Then, what do we do?"
