When Adrian returned to the Dragon Palace, he saw that the Drakings had gathered together. It seemed like they had known Adrian would return."Drakings, why are you all gathered here?" Adrian asked with a smile.The Ocean Draking immediately replied, "Naturally, it's to welcome your arrival. My son said you would return soon, so we've been waiting here every day, never daring to slack off for a moment!""For real?!" Adrian was somewhat surprised to hear this. He hadn't expected the dragon clan to value him so much.However, upon further thought, he understood why they acted this way. After all, he was carrying the hope of reconciling the grievances between the dragon clan and the spirit summoners. For the dragon clan, it was undoubtedly an exciting prospect. Therefore, they naturally didn't dare to take it lightly.Adrian surveyed the crowd, spotting not only the Western Draking but also two unfamiliar faces—the Southern Draking and the Northern Draking, Dragon Prince's third and
Regardless of how vigorously the Northern Draking attacked, there was no way he could get close to Adrian. It left the Northern Draking feeling frustrated."Damn it!" the Northern Draking cursed. He had not expected that his attacks would be utterly ineffective against Adrian. Not only that, but he could not even get close to him. Adrian smiled faintly and said, "Northern Draking, I suggest you not waste your efforts like this. What you're doing won't yield any results!"The Northern Draking's face sank as he felt insulted. The Northern Draking snorted coldly. "Don't celebrate too early. This battle is far from over!" Immediately, he released an even more powerful force. However, the result remained the same. He could not do anything to Adrian. Dragon Prince could not stand watching anymore and said, "I've told you before. You can't defeat Mr. Adrian. It's time to give up!" However, the Northern Draking showed no intention of giving up. Instead, his eyes gleamed even bright
The Northern Draking snorted and said, "Kid, you've got some skills!"Although he acknowledged defeat, there was still a hint of resentment in his tone. However, given the circumstances, he had no choice."Alright, alright, it was just a friendly exchange. The purpose of the fight was to prove Mr. Adrian's formidable strength. He didn't disappoint us!" the Eastern Draking intervened to smooth things over.After all, he was the leader of the dragon clan, and Adrian was a guest he had invited. He did not want any conflict to arise between the two parties.Fortunately, neither side had any intention of continuing the fight. After all, they do have important things to attend to.With the Dragon King acting as a mediator, the tension eased.The group proceeded into the Dragon Palace, where they settled down for serious discussions.The Eastern Draking then asked, "What good news you brought us today, Mr. Adrian? Can you tell us now?""Sure!" Adrian replied and had Vandala step forwa
With that thought in mind, Adrian smiled and said, "That's not how we should put it. Since we're cooperating, everyone should be considered equal!""What do you mean?" The Northern Draking furrowed his brow in annoyance."In this alliance, we won't be choosing a so-called leader. We're together to face the mysterious enemy. Apart from that, each faction will handle its internal affairs independently," Adrian calmly explained.The people around them displayed various reactions. The Eastern and Western Drakings seemed calm. However, the Northern Draking appeared displeased, as if the outcome was not what he desired.Adrian noticed the Northern Draking's dissatisfaction and asked, "What's the matter? You seem unhappy with my suggestion.""No!" The Northern Draking shook his head. "Actually, your idea is excellent. I'm very satisfied. I don't want a so-called leader to dominate over our factions."Adrian frowned slightly. He knew what the Northern Draking had in his mind. Even though
"Yeah, I think no matter what the situation is, it's better to finish our discussions first before making further plans," the Eastern Dragon echoed.Seeing this, Vandala finally abandoned his idea.They continued their discussions late into the night and eventually reached a consensus on a viable plan.At this point, everyone's expressions were calm.The Eastern Draking said, "I didn't expect us to produce a result. I believe this is a good start. I hope we can have more cooperation between us in the future.""I feel the same way," Vandala said.He initially thought there might be a lot to worry about in this cooperation, but it turned out to be smoother than expected.Apparently, it would have been great for both sides if they could have resolved their conflicts earlier.Thinking about this, he sighed.Vandala came a long way and was an important guest of the dragon clan. As such, the Eastern Draking decided to treat him well and arranged a grand banquet for the night.*Th
"How dare you obstruct my plan. I should show you what I'm made of!" the person muttered coldly.The soldiers and generals in the vicinity were unaware of his presence, continuing their patrol. However, this elusive figure approached them like a ghost and swiftly incapacitated them. After that, he slowly entered the deeper central area of the Dragon Palace.Shortly after, a loud disturbance echoed from the central palace. A cry for help followed, "Something's wrong! The Dragon King is under attack!"The guards on duty exclaimed. In an instant, the entire Dragon Palace erupted into chaos.An assassination attempt on the Dragon King's life was a major event for the Dragon Palace. The entire place was in turmoil. In the shortest time possible, everyone gathered at the central part of the Dragon Palace, including Adrian. When Adrian arrived, he was astounded. The Eastern Draking lay in a pool of blood, on the verge of death."What's going on? Who did this?" Adrian asked.Dragon P
"I don't think that's possible," the Northern Draking said indifferently, "Since the first attempt failed, they won't try again. It wouldn't benefit them."Adrian looked at him with curiosity and asked sarcastically, "How do you know their nature so well?"The Northern Draking was momentarily stunned. He then realized something and glared at Adrian. "Are you suspecting me?!"Adrian shook his head. "Nope. I'm not suspecting you. I'm just wondering how you can be so sure those people won't return.""You…" Northern Draking wanted to say more but held back.At the same time, Dragon Prince and the others also looked at him with suspicion. Sensing the suspicion in their gazes, the Northern Draking defended himself, "Stop looking at me like that! I'm just stating a probability. You can't deny that there's a chance they might not return, right?" Adrian did not continue the topic but nodded, standing aside without saying more.Dragon Prince slammed the table. "Hmph! These people are goi
Some of those present might have had different opinions, and they felt that Adrian's plan would not work at all. Since the Eastern Draking had been in danger once, they needed to ensure his safety. Therefore, they should not relax their guard. Simply increasing defense while allowing others to rest was far from sufficient. However, as outsiders, they hesitated to voice their concerns and allowed Adrian to make the arrangements.After Adrian returned to his room, he found Rozi. She looked visibly anxious and asked, "How's the Dragon King? Is he okay?""Don't worry. The Dragon King is no longer in mortal danger. However, we haven't located the assailant behind the attack. That's the biggest problem right now," Adrian said solemnly.If the assailant remained elusive, it would pose an imminent threat to them. Adrian was determined to avert such a grim outcome."What should we do? Are we going to let them do whatever they want? Or do you have a better plan now?" Rozi asked anxiously.
