Chapter 99: Man’s Disguise

Far away, the woman on the mast climbed onto the black dragon’s back, and they descended. The black bead held by a man, the Largo’s eyeball, reflected the scene of the other bead.

The man’s lips thinned into a smile. The woman was almost stumbling on the dragon’s back. The screen shook several times and soon stopped. A man in an investigator’s uniform embraced her familiarly.

“I thought you were scared of heights, but you managed so well.”

“You… arrest…” The woman muttered a few nonsenses and soon collapsed into the man’s arms, her face buried deep in his chest.

“…It’s good.”

Adrian stared at the sight before him before tapping the Largo’s eyeball twice. The screen then disappeared.

That woman had finally gotten her hands on the dragon. The imprint was threatening even in its incomplete state, and with the imprint completed, there would be no limit to its magic. It was an unparalleled power one couldn’t easily handle, and it wouldn’t be a good possession to have.

Adrian muttered dryly, “I should have stopped it.”

He was unaware that Lenia was the main reason for the imperfect imprint. He admitted that he was hasty. Lenia Valtalere, who was undertaking suspicious acts; an anonymous woman, who walked in the body of Eleonora Asil; and Kyle Leonard, the chief of the Bureau of Protection.

The opportunity to drive the three into one corner would not come again as long as there was a way out.

Then, they ought to be taken care of one by one.

A muffled sob sounded from Adrian’s feet, yet his green orbs spared no glance below. He only spoke in a light tone, as if sending a tune to the wind and uttered words that were tantamount to a death sentence to the listener.

“No one will notice if you die here, you know?”

“Ugh…”

“Why are you crying, it breaks my heart. With you tripping over your feet.” Adrian caressed the golden hair that was tangled among his fingers, keeping his gaze fixed at the black dragon, which soared high into the sky. His lips wore a captivating smile.

“Why did you do such a stupid thing, Lenia?”

“Someday, you’ll get caught…”  The woman muttered, but Adrian had paid no attention to her.

After a short while, Adrian climbed up on the deck, the hems of his uniform fluttering along with the wind. He squeezed the hat he was holding in one hand. His alluring features have been transformed into a different appearance — a change completely concealing his identity.

A sailor popped his head out of the stairs of the deck and shouted. “Hey, what are you doing here! Get down here! It’s a mess down there.”
