[Ding… Invasion Warning, Invasion Warning! Found a descendant with the luck level of Destiny’s Child in danger. His luck is being plundered.]

[Ding… System has generated an urgent mission: Stop the descendant’s luck from being plundered!]

Shit, it is true that someone is plundering my descendant’s luck. He’s really courting death. 

Romo was indignant and instinctively wanted to use his magical power to repel the twisted black light. However, he soon realized that he was not the great master he used to be. He was only a spirit, a level-1 Spectral Spirit. He was unable to even influence reality, let alone fight back the oncoming enemy.

What should I do? Romo was extremely anxious. Am I to just watch helplessly as the enemy plunders my descendant’s luck? Oh right, I still have the System. Romo immediately thought of the System.

“System, how can I protect my descendant from being violated?

[Ding… System has three ways to deal with it. They are as follows.]

[First, with bronze-tier Ancestral Protection, the powerful enemy can be defeated but the plundered luck cannot be recovered. It consumes 120,000 Faith Points.]

[Second, with silver-tier Ancestral Protection, the powerful enemy can be defeated and all the plundered luck can be recovered. It consumes 180,000 Faith Points.]

[Third, with gold-tier Ancestral Protection, the powerful enemy can be defeated and all the plundered luck can be recovered. It is also able to counterattack the enemy and even plunder the enemy’s luck. It consumes 240,000 points of faith.]

Romo looked at the three methods and was instantly depressed. Currently, the Faith Points he had could only be exchanged for the bronze-tier Ancestral Protection. However, in this way, he would only be able to defeat the powerful enemy but his descendant would certainly suffer some loss of his luck. This would definitely affect his luck level, which might even decrease by one level. This was unacceptable to Romo. He had wanted to use the gold-tier Ancestral Protection, but he did not have that many Faith Points.

[Ding, as this is the first time the host is using the exchange function of Faith Points, all expenditure of Faith Points will be reduced by half.]

As if it had sensed Romo’s thoughts, the System immediately added. After hearing the System’s voice, Romo became overjoyed.

Reduce the expenditure of Faith Points by half?

Does this not mean that the gold-tier Ancestral Protection, which was originally worth 240,000 Faith Points, can now be redeemed with just 120,000 Faith Points?

He had enough Faith Points to exchange for it.

“Exchange immediately for the third item, the gold-tier Ancestral Protection!” Romo said decisively. The person who had dared to plunder his descendant’s luck must pay the price!

[Ding! Exchanged for once of the gold-tier Ancestral Protection. Consumed 120,000 Faith Points. Do you want to use it immediately?]

“Use it immediately!”

[Ding… Gold-tier Ancestral Protection has been used!]

At the same time, in the Nicholas family’s home, the members of the Nicholas family clan had gathered in the courtyard of John Nicholas. His child, the 18th generation of the Nicholas family clan, was about to be born. Naturally, everyone had placed great importance on this occasion. Currently, the child’s grandparents and even the great-grandfather, Norton Nicholas, who was the current head of the family, were all present.

“Waaah ~ ~ ~ ~”

Suddenly, the cry of a baby could be heard. The crowd, which had been waiting anxiously, became excited immediately.

“Master, it’s a boy!” a maid reported happily to Norton.

“Haha, this is great. We have another lion in the Nicholas family!”

Upon hearing, Norton laughed out loud in relief. The Nicholas family had suffered too much hardship and was in urgent need of fresh blood in the family to continue the family line.

“John, you’re the child’s father, give him a name!” Norton said, but before he could finish, he sensed something. With a grave expression, he raised his head and looked into the sky. He saw a green beam of light descend from the sky and land on the roof in front of him.

“This… this is favor from the heavens?” Norton asked in surprise and disbelief.

“That’s right, this is the favor from the heavens! This child is unbelievable. He has been blessed by the light from providence as soon as he was born. This is the sign of a Destiny’s Child. He will definitely grow into a true lion in future and lead our family in recovering its former glory when our ancestors were still alive!” Norlin Nicholas, Norton’s younger brother, said excitedly.

Although the others could not understand, hearing the conversation between the two, they knew that this was definitely something great, and they all became happy.

“Eh? Why is there another black light?”

Right at this moment, another beam of black light had rushed in. It wrapped immediately around the green beam of light and seemed to be sweeping the latter away. This definitely looked weird.

“Not good! Someone is trying to seize the luck of my great grandson!!!” Norton, who was experienced and knowledgeable, immediately concluded that the black light, which had appeared later, was certainly something not benign. He exclaimed in shock and anger.

“Ah? What should we do?”

“Yeah, who are they? Why are they targeting our family?” The others said angrily, upon hearing what he had said.

“Master, it’s bad!” At this moment, a maid had run out of the room in panic, shouting, “Little Master is vomiting blood!”

“What?” Everyone was even more furious when they heard that. John Nicholas said to Norton in a panic, “Grandfather, quick do something.” Norton’s expression was dark. He said in a low voice, “I’ll go in and take a look.”

With that said, he was about to enter the house, but his heart was extremely heavy. That black light was actually able to plunder one’s luck. He had never heard of such a bizarre attack before. It was certainly an attack by one who far surpassed the level of a Mage. How could he, a mere level-8 Mage, resist such an attack? At the most, he could only hope that the other party would show mercy to his great-grandson and not kill him.

“Eh? Look, what’s that?”

Right at this moment, something unexpected happened. Norton turned around and was shocked to see a dazzling beam of golden light charging into the sky.. It turned into a golden arrow and shot towards that black light.
