"But..." Aiven hesitated. If that were the case, wouldn't he have to follow Taggart back to the Nilas Family? Aiven certainly didn't have any affection for the Nilas Family.

Ling Feng said in a deep voice, "Aiven, I know how you feel right now. Do you hate the Nilas Family a lot?"

Aiven nodded seriously.

"If you rely solely on your own strength, can you destroy the Nilas Family?" Ling Feng continued to ask.

After thinking about it, Aiven shook his head dejectedly. Not only himself, even Ling Feng wouldn't dare to make such outrageous claims!

"Karenlu's greatest desire in her life is for Caesar to inherit the position of Clan Leader!" Ling Feng said. "If you could intervene and seize the position of Clan Leader from Caesar, don't you think that would be the greatest humiliation and blow to Karenlu? What's more, once you occupy the position of Clan Leader, it wouldn't be difficult for you to deal with Karenlu, Caesar, or even the Nilas Family later, right?"

Hearing Ling Feng's words, Aiven's eyes suddenly lit up. According to Ling Feng's reasoning, this was indeed a brilliant way to exact revenge!

To avenge someone doesn't necessarily mean killing them. Taking away the things they cherish most, letting them sink into despair gradually—that is the most effective way to retaliate!

Once he understood this, Aiven's expression gradually hardened into resolve. Even though returning to the Nilas Family still made him uncomfortable, he couldn't afford to care about that for the sake of revenge.

"But..." Recalling the scene on the Fengyun Platform just moments ago, Aiven felt a mix of exasperation and regret. He had blocked his own path back to the Nilas Family.

"If you've made up your mind, I'll deal with Taggart myself!" Ling Feng patted Aiven's shoulder and said, "You're my younger brother, my family. I only ask you one thing: even if you return to the Nilas Family, you must protect yourself. If anything happens, notify me immediately, understood?"

"Big Brother, I understand!" Aiven hugged Ling Feng tightly, choking up as he said, "Thank you, Big Brother! I'm counting on you!"

Ling Feng patted Aiven's shoulder, then turned and left.

After the farcical events on Fengyun Platform, the Nilas Family had become the laughingstock of all nobles. To many, this was nothing short of a real-life rendition of a vengeance-driven prince's saga—a slap in the Nilas Family's face. Not only that, even Ficknilas had been personally killed by his elder brother.

But Taggart Niles didn't care about the opinions of outsiders. He sat dazed in the chair within his room, his mind endlessly replaying the image of Aiven's handsome yet angry face.

"My son!" Taggart Niles murmured to himself, his expression shifting continuously—remorse, guilt, pride, and excitement!

Seeing his son grow up and step into the Demi-God Domain with his own eyes filled him with genuine pride and joy. However, thinking about Aiven's attitude toward him brought an overwhelming sense of remorse and guilt to Taggart's heart.

"Karenlu, it's all because of you!" Taggart closed his eyes, a deep resentment swelling within him.

Because Karenlu was still a member of the Leide Family, back then even in his anger, Taggart could do nothing about her. As the Clan Leader of the Nilas Family, he wasn't free to act however he pleased.

"Heg, do you think Aiven can accept me?" Taggart muttered to himself.

Behind Taggart, the burly man named Heg scratched his head awkwardly. He was merely Taggart's bodyguard, and such matters were far beyond his capacity to weigh in on.

"Forget it!" Taggart exhaled deeply. "I'm just chasing miracles in desperation, asking you was rash." He sighed heavily once more.

"What troubles weigh on Chief Taggart's mind for him to sigh so deeply?" At that moment, Ling Feng's teasing voice rang out. Taggart and the burly man turned to see Ling Feng sitting not far away, casually crossing his legs as he sipped tea.

The man in black immediately stepped in front of Taggart, "Clan Leader, be cautious!"

Taggart pushed the man aside, saying, "Don't worry. If he wanted to harm me, he wouldn't need to speak—he could kill us outright!"

Ling Feng clapped his hands. "As expected of Chief Taggart, bold and fearless! Truly admirable!"

"What is your purpose in coming here?" Taggart fixed a sharp gaze on Ling Feng. "Was everything you've done up until now orchestrated just to make Aiven confront me?"

Taggart wasn't a fool. After everything that had happened, he had immediately realized that the mastermind behind it all was the young man before him. If it hadn't been for his provocations involving the Nilas Family's younger generation, how could the Nilas Family have acted so recklessly to salvage their reputation?

"That's right, I planned it all!" Ling Feng nodded. "After all, I'm Aiven's older brother. Since he felt discontent, it's only natural that I, as his elder brother, stand up for him!"

Taggart's voice grew low and measured. "If it's only a matter of standing up for him, then there's no need for you to come find me now. State your goal clearly!"

"No need to be so guarded," Ling Feng chuckled lightly. "This time, I came to talk about Aiven. Are you still thinking of bringing Aiven back to the Nilas Family?"

"What do you mean?" Taggart furrowed his brow. "Don't think that just because you've influenced Aiven, I'll give up. Aiven is my son, and I will ensure he returns to the Nilas Family!"

"Return to the Nilas Family?" Ling Feng said indifferently. "Even if Aiven does go back, can you guarantee the past won't repeat itself? Can you promise Karenlu won't secretly harm Aiven again?"

Taggart was taken aback, a hint of unusual meaning discernible in Ling Feng's words.

"Of course I can guarantee that!" Taggart quickly replied, his tone carrying a hint of ferocity. "I'm not the same person I was twenty years ago! In the Nilas Family now, no one dares defy my commands!"

As he spoke, Taggart added with an anticipating tone, "If I'm not mistaken, you want Aiven to return to the Nilas Family?"

"That's indeed my intention," Ling Feng said.

"Why?" Taggart couldn't help but ask. "Is this what Aiven wants as well?"

"Why? Because I don't want Aiven to continue living alone in this world!" Ling Feng replied, glancing at Taggart faintly. "Besides, I know the events of yesteryear weren't your fault. So I'm willing to send Aiven to your side, letting him experience familial love and fatherly care."

"But... will Aiven be willing?" Taggart said with some apprehension. At this moment, he displayed none of the detached composure befitting a noble Clan Leader; he was as anxious as an ordinary father.
