In the Kaimanwei Family mansion in the United States, Ryan hurriedly arrived. Over six months ago, he had promised everyone in the family that he would capture Qin Xiaoya alive and bring her before the Undead Knight to apologize. However, despite his numerous attempts to lure Qin Xiaoya to the United States, she had shown no interest in responding to him, which left Ryan extremely anxious. He even considered going to Huaxia himself to capture her and bring her back, but due to the recent rise of Huaxia Martial Arts and the unstable situation there, he abandoned that plan. Just when Ryan was about to give up hope, Qin Xiaoya surprisingly agreed to come to the United States for business discussions, which filled him with ecstatic joy.
"Ryan, Uncle doesn't want to see you right now; it's best if you don't go looking for him," someone in the mansion reminded him.
"I have good news to share with Uncle," Ryan replied.
"Haha, what good news could you possibly have? Our family's luck this year has been completely ruined. We've faced misfortune after misfortune," a family member mocked.
Ryan fell silent, as he had no retort.
In a study within the mansion, Dawson Caymanwei, the Clan Leader of the Kaimanwei Family, sat on a leather sofa smoking a cigar while reviewing some documents. His expression grew increasingly grim. In the spacious study stood more than ten members of the Kaimanwei Family. As the absolute authority within the family, Dawson's every action made everyone tense.
After reading for a while, Dawson threw the documents onto the floor in frustration. "This year alone, our Kaimanwei Family has lost over two billion dollars. Several treasure expeditions have also failed; it's utterly infuriating." Despite his anger, he felt helpless—this year had been disastrous due to a failed sacrifice that displeased the Undead Knight. It was a year filled with calamities for the Kaimanwei Family, but such events were beyond their control.
"This is all Ryan's fault. If it weren't for him causing our sacrifice to fail, we wouldn't be in this predicament," someone said angrily.
"Exactly! He promised to capture that Hua Xia woman for the Undead Knight's apology, yet more than half a year has passed and he still hasn't succeeded. What incompetence!"
"Our Kaimanwei Family cannot allow such incompetence to exist. Uncle, I suggest we expel Ryan from the family."
The anger of these individuals shifted entirely onto Ryan as they spoke vehemently about him just as he rushed in.
Ryan seemed not to hear their words as he approached Dawson Caymanwei respectfully and said, "Uncle, I have good news! That Hua Xia woman has agreed to come to the United States to discuss business with me. We can finally bring her before the Undead Knight to apologize."
Dawson remained expressionless upon hearing this news; his face still darkened.
"Haha, Ryan, what good does it do now? The year is almost over. Even if you apologize before the Undead Knight, it won't change our family's losses this year," someone scoffed.
"Right! That Hua Xia woman seems quite shrewd. You've been pursuing her for over half a year without any response; now she suddenly agrees? I suspect she has something planned," another added.
"Ryan, I think you should just go apologize directly to the Undead Knight yourself."
Ryan wanted to argue but ultimately chose to swallow his pride and looked at Dawson Caymanwei, waiting for his words. The opinions of others were irrelevant; what mattered was what the Clan Leader decided.
Dawson raised his head and silenced the noisy room before speaking in a deep voice: "Regardless of whether that Hua Xia woman is prepared or not, since she is coming, we must ensure she does not leave. This year is already over; our losses are irreparable. We can only hope for better fortune next year. As for next year's sacrifice candidate, I believe she would be an excellent choice. She is no ordinary woman; using her as a sacrifice will surely please the Undead Knight and grant our family even greater fortune."
Dawson's words were not meant to defend Ryan but rather were a carefully considered decision after much thought. At this point, blaming Ryan was pointless; what mattered most was how they could revive their family in the coming year.
Hearing his uncle's words, Ryan felt a slight sense of relief inside.
"Uncle, don't worry. This time I will definitely capture her," Ryan quickly assured him.
"Heh." Dawson let out a faint cold laugh, clearly dismissive of Ryan's words. "That woman is no ordinary person. With your abilities, you probably won't be able to handle her. How about this: you bring her here directly, and I'll deal with her myself."
"Alright." Ryan nodded firmly. With his uncle taking action personally, it would certainly be much safer.
However, luring Qin Xiaoya here would not be easy; Ryan pondered deeply, contemplating his strategy.
