FATE: Target of Grand Master

"Diarmuid, control the leopard man!"

In order to achieve the desired effect, Feng Yan did not hesitate to use a Command Spell.

With the Command Seal buff, Diarmuid flung away his red sword and instantly appeared behind the leopard-man, pinning the leopard-man's body down with his red spear.

Although the leopard-man used his tiger-claw club to press between himself and the red spear, he was unable to break free of Diarmuid's restraints for the time being.

"Just a contest of strength? Handsome, you're not a hero known for your strength, are you? Even if you managed to control me temporarily with the help of Command Seals, you still..."

Before the leopard man could finish speaking, a huge shadow appeared out of thin air above his head.

That was... an elephant?

"Noble Phantasm! A flesh bomb, huh? I'll start working on it again tomorrow!"

Gina can summon the god Ganesh, whom she possesses, and then use his enormous body to attack.

"Hey handsome, getting crushed by this elephant is no joke. You're not planning to take me down with you, are you?!"

The leopard-man no longer cared about his divine image and struggled frantically, but Diarmuid held him firmly in place, and he could only watch as Ganesh, with the weight of his body covered in fat, drew closer and closer to him.

"Don't come any closer!!!"

boom--!

The leopard-man only had time to let out a scream before, from Feng Yan's perspective, all he could see was the dust kicked up by Ganesh's landing.

Diarmuid escaped at the last second, but the terrified leopard-man made no move and was firmly pinned down by Ganesh.

When the dust settled, Feng Yan took a closer look and saw that the leopard-man, whose body was covered with marks from being crushed by heavy objects, had turned into round eyes and had lost consciousness.

When the leopard man regained consciousness, he found himself bound hand and foot to a stone pillar.

"Feng Yan, she's awake."

The black-bearded man, who had been keeping watch, threw down the straw he was using to pass the time and shouted at Feng Yan.

Upon hearing the news, Feng Yan came over, accompanied by Diarmuid and Gina.

"Leopard Man, we won. As agreed, shouldn't you tell us the location of Quetzalcoatl?"

"You're cheating! Well, I'd like to say that, but I could say I was lucky the last time I was fooled, but I have no right to criticize you for the last two times."

Feng Yan was surprised that the leopard man would speak so seriously, when he heard the leopard man suddenly laugh and say, "However, please allow me to exercise my right to remain silent. You should talk to my lawyer about everything. Judging from your expression, you don't seem to know who my lawyer is. Hmph, coincidentally, I don't know either, so you can forget about getting Kukulkan's position."

The veins on Feng Yan's forehead throbbed. He hated people who broke their promises the most, but he was completely helpless against the leopard man.

Suddenly, an idea flashed through Feng Yan's mind.

Who says I can't do it?

"Teacher Hans."

Feng Yan invoked Hans Christian Andersen.

"what?"

"Could you make me a loudspeaker?"

"Why do I have to do it?"

"Everyone is putting in the effort, and you're doing nothing. Isn't that a bit much? Besides, you're the only one here with the skill to make props. Whether this mission succeeds or not depends on you. No, I should say whether we can get any interesting materials this time depends on you."

"Ugh, this is such a hassle. Wait a minute."

In no time, Feng Yan had a loudspeaker in his hand. It was the kind that was extremely loud and had a recording function, the kind that you often see on tricycles used for recycling.

The leopard-man looked at Feng Yan with confusion, wondering what he was up to.

"Cough...cough..."

Feng Yan cleared his throat and then shouted into the loudspeaker, "Kukulkan, the leopard man has told us your real name, and he's also saying behind our backs that the treatment you offer is too poor and he wants to switch jobs..."

Feng Yan rattled off everything he knew about Quetzal Koyatl, naturally pinning all the blame on the leopard man.

"Defamation! I'm going to sue you for defamation!"

The leopard man was so anxious that tears were about to come out of his eyes.

If Feng Yan broadcast these words through a loudspeaker and Kukulkan heard them, she would be dead.

However, Feng Yan said with a wicked grin, "Then have your lawyer come talk to me."

"My lawyer is a bit busy, so I won't bother him. Let's talk directly."

The leopard-man instantly became docile, revealing a fawning smile.

"Now I'm giving you two choices: First, keep quiet, but I'll broadcast what I just said through a loudspeaker 24/7. I'm sure Kukulkan will eventually hear it. Second..."

"I choose option two!"

Feng Yan raised his eyebrows.

"I haven't even said anything, and you've already chosen?"

"Nothing could be worse than number one, so whatever you say, I'll choose number two."

The leopard-men surrendered as quickly as the French.

Feng Yan's lips curled up in a smile.

"Alright, let's make a contract then."

"Why?"

The leopard-man didn't react in time.

"I said, let's sign a contract. You must be a servant without a master, right?"

"Yes, how did you know?"

"I know more than that. After that, I need to see Kukulkan and try to persuade her to join us."

"are you serious?"

"Do I look like I'm joking?"

"Hmph. Fine. It's been a long time since I've seen such a courageous human. Alright, then let me, the leopard man, lend you a hand."

Although she was still bound, the leopard-woman's posture made it seem as if she were the victor.

Feng Yan didn't care. Since the contract was already completed, he took the opportunity to untie the leopard man.

"Now can you tell me where Kukulkan is?"

"At this time of day, she should be training in Eridu, deeper in the forest. Come on, I'll lead the way."

Feng Yan laughed and said, "You're really enthusiastic."

"Don't let my appearance fool you, once I sign the contract, I'll work really hard."

The leopard-man then muttered to himself in a voice only he could hear, "If I don't help you deal with Kukulkan, I'm dead."

"Huh? What did you say?"

"It's nothing, let's hurry up and go, or it will get dark."

When Feng Yan and the others arrived in Eridu with the leopard people, it was already getting dark.

"Oh dear, leopard man, I don't recall assigning you any work as a hostess. Bringing in a group of strangers like this suggests you've defected and are preparing to rebel against me?"

Quetzalcoatl, the feathered serpent god, stood before the Sunstone, dressed in a complex and vibrant costume made of feathers and cotton armor, full of ethnic characteristics, and addressed Feng Yan and his group below.

The leopard-man immediately shuddered reflexively, but still mustered his courage and replied, "Kukulkan, this human's name is Feng Yan, and he is now my master."

Following the leopard man's introduction, Feng Yan greeted Quetzal Koyatl.

"Sun Goddess, greetings. I have come here to persuade you to abandon the 'Six Goddess Alliance'."

Quetzal shifted his gaze from the leopard-man to Feng Yan.

"Human, why should I, as a god, listen to your opinions?"
