At this moment, with the help of Hemera and Fennec, the changes were completed.
This eased James's worries.
A while later, Wynton said, "lI admit defeat. You can take away the past forms of the living beings, but | can't let
you be completely satisfied."
Then, he waved his hand, and the Waltraud Power shot into the void. Instantly, a rotating circle formed.
With a loud rumble, a few past forms of the living beings that were fighting Zella exploded.
Seeing this, James's face fell.

"I'm sorry, James," Wynton said. "Though I lost the game, | did eliminate a few of your pieces just now.
"We agreed beforehand that the number of past forms killed would match the number of pieces eaten." Hearing
this, James didn't respond but felt relieved.
He had a backup plan, not fully trusting Wynton. He had Wynton fight the past forms and then replace them.
Otherwise, the situation could have been disastrous.
The past forms here were all James's confidants and friends. Once their past forms were killed, they in the Great
Historial Land would becuseless, losing all their foundation. The price would be too steep. It wasn't worth it.
"You don't seem to care much about them," Wynton remarked, staring at James with a smile.
James replied, "I'm considering whether | should flip the table because of your words."
"I bet you won't dare," Wynton said confidently. "Because | still have something against you."
Then, in the rotating circle in the void, three familiar people appeared.
When James turned to look, his expression changed.
It was the past forms of Jacopo, Winnie, and Noel.
It was clear that Wynton was using James's children as his final bargaining chip.
Upon hearing this, James narrowed his eyes. "Do you want to make another bet?"
"Yeah," Wynton said with a smile. "The bet remains the same. If you defeat me, | will release the past forms of
your children. If you fail, your wife must hand over that tem and use the HongrAura to help me.

Wynton stared directly into James's eyes.
"You won't lose anything in this If you win, you can save your children, friends, and the living beings you care
about, and also get the information you've been seeking.
"If you lose you partner with me.
Together, we'll rule the Haleth Realm and seize the entire Path Gate"
Wynton smiled deviously at James. "James, | believe I've been quite kind to you."
With his hands behind his back, James stood up from the void.
"Should | thank you then?" &
