”So... is there anything else do you want to say?” Randy asked Zhang Hao his calm voice.

Zhang Hao let out a sigh of relief inwardly. He could perceive from Randy tone that Randy would let the matter gone by. At least, Randy didn't harbor grudge at him or his family.

”Ahem ahem, I have a request for you...” Zhang Hao coughed twice before he told Randy his main purpose. But before he finished his words, there was a change in Randy and Zhen Yi's expression.

Randy expression became colder which puzzled Zhang Hao. But soon, he understood why Randy expression was becoming cold, it was because of his words.

He just apologized to both, yet he said there was a request for them which made his apology was not sincere. Randy and Zhen Yi perceive there was an ulterior motive behind his apology.

Zhang Hao cursed himself inwardly. Fortunately, his observation was keen and noticed the change.

”Ahem,” Zhang Hao coughed to make thing less awkward before he continued, ”I'm sorry, it's not a request but information about Dragon Dynasty. I wanted to inform you something about Dragon Dynasty,”

Sure enough, after changing his words, Zhang Hao noticed there was a change in Randy's expression. Albeit cold but it was less for certain degrees. Zhang Hao let out a sigh of relief inwardly.

He finally tasted how did the taste being in the lower position. He must be careful with his words. In the past, he always on the top, looking down at the people of surrounding him. But now, the role changed and he could not careless like his usual self.

”Don't beat around the bush, just tell what you want to tell,” Even though he said those words with indifferent and calm voice, it was only on the surface. Inside, he surprised and eager to know what Zhang Hao wanted to tell him.

'Is Zhang Hao betray Dragon Dynasty to befriend with him?'

Randy immediately denied his wild guess and put that aside. Zhang family was one of the founders of the Dragon Dynasty, it was impossible for the successor of Zhang Family betrayed Dragon Dynasty.

Zhen Yi who had no interest from the start, she was interested when Zhang Hao mentioned he wanted to inform about the Dragon Dynasty.

”Ahem,” Zhang Hao didn't forget to cough first before telling what he wanted to say, ”As you know, Dragon Dynasty founded by seven families as the core member. But, the Dragon Dynasty's forces divided by the seven families. Each family control their own force, even for Guild Leader or Vice Leader has no right to command all Dragon Dynasty's forces without the permit from each family,”

Randy disappointed hearing this. This information was an open secret as all people in the East City already knew about this. But to his surprised Zhang Hao didn't stop and continued.

”I know there is a conflict between you and Long Family,” Speaking here, Zhang Hao looked at Zhen Yi, the source of the conflict before continuing, ”So, if in the future war erupted between you and Long Family, I hope you don't take the Dragon Dynasty as your target,”

Somehow Randy knew what Zhang Hao wanted to tell him, but he feigned didn't understand what Zhang Hao's mean.

”So, if I'm not targeting the Dragon Dynasty, who shall become my target? Long Family is part of Dragon Dynasty, right? Do you mean I have to let the Dragon Dynasty do what they please toward me and my guild!!?” Randy pretended to be angry to dig more info from Zhang Hao's mouth as what he told him early was ambiguous.

Zhang Hao stunned, he thought by telling those ambiguous words Randy would understand what he meant.

”No no, of course not. What I mean is if war erupted between you and Long Family please don't involve other families from Dragon Dynasty except that family is helping Long Family against you. What I mean is, Dragon Dynasty does not belong to Long Family only, but also the seven families. So, if the war happened between your guild and Long Family, it doesn't mean war between the Dragon Dynasty and Happy Guild,”

Zhang Hao explained patiently, hoping Randy would understand.

”But how do I know if other families are not Involved? You might help the Long Family with your force without me knowing it,” Randy understood what Zhang Hao Wanted to tell him. He didn't want to get involved with the conflict between him and Long Family.

”Don't worry about that. Now, the seven families established a branch guild of Dragon Dynasty. My family established Dragon Dynasty (Zhang), likewise the other families. You can differentiate my men from other families as my men are wearing a cloak with Dragon Dynasty emblem, but below the emblem, there is a word ”Zhang” Which is mean it's Zhang Family's force. Not only on the cloak but also on the right shoulder,” Zhang Hao told Randy with detailed information.

Randy shocked by the information, likewise Zhen Yi.

'Doesn't this mean there is a crack in Dragon Dynasty?'
