Chapter 1027 - Sudden Change (2/2)

“Tsk.”

Rhode spat without any intention of concealing his discontentment. Even though Siena had put it subtly, he understood what she meant. In the past, when Lilian could still restore her dragon soul power, Siena and Nalea would be confident in stopping Ion. But the situation was different now. Although Lilian had awakened her dragon soul power, she lost control over it due to the trauma from witnessing Sonia’s death and desire for revenge. Using a description from common wuxia novels that Rhode read, it was as though Lilian became obsessed and ordinary medicine couldn’t cure her. Even though Lilian could still control her strength now, she was like a little girl barely able to pull a strong horse along. If the horse was obedient, she wouldn’t need to assert too much strength. But if the horse was irascible… it would be an entirely different matter.

And the situation in the Country of Light now… Yes, it didn’t seem to be the docile type.

This was also why Siena and Nalea didn’t take actions ‘for now’. Perhaps like Ion, they also learned about the changes in the parliament immediately and Rhode wasn’t too surprised. Since Rhode was able to plant Sonia into the parliament, the other dragon soul heirs surely had their own methods. The church and the Country of Darkness had their own vast, powerful intelligence web. They would have lived in vain if they failed to even gather such information. The reason why the twin sisters didn’t take actions in the past was perhaps out of respect for Lilian as the Light Dragon. But now, since Lilian had ended up in this state, the twin sisters didn’t mind letting a new dragon soul protection take over the region. To Siena and Nalea, Ion’s actions might be considered ‘invading’ Lilian’s land, but his dragon soul protection was ultimately part of Order. As long as it could replenish the broken and shattered holes in the Light Dragon’s soul protection, they didn’t mind that the Country of Darkness attacked. Perhaps Ion had also considered this factor, which was why he took it this far.

“Alright, I suppose I understand your point of view now. In this case, pardon my rudeness. Since the Country of Darkness has decided to set up a gambling table, it shouldn’t be an issue for us to place our bets… Okay then, this will be all. Apologies to both of you, my mom is yelling at me to get back home for dinner.”

Rhode said, waving his hand and cutting off the magic transmission with the Country of Law.

“That damn bastard. I hated that shameless scoundrel in the game and now it seems like he is as shameless as ever…”

Rhode gnashed his teeth and cursed, gazing coldly at the empty space before him. In fact, there were ways to stop the Light Dragon from collapsing. Rhode learned from his younger sister that him, as the Void Dragon, could assist Lilian in recovering the crashed Light Dragon. The Void Dragon was the basis of all dragon soul protections. In other words, all dragon soul protections were built and completed on the basis of the Void Dragon. The Void Dragon was like a sheet of white paper for the dragon soul protections to smear their own colors on it. Currently, the Light Dragon’s soul protection was as though the paper that was smeared by colors and shredded into bits. What Rhode needed to do now was to grab another sheet of paper, plug the gaps, and make Lilian repaint the colors of the Light Dragon.

But this needed time. If Ion didn’t make this move, Rhode would have time to accomplish it. But now… as an alliance, Rhode had to stabilize the Light Dragon’s soul protection over the Munn Kingdom, before resolving the issue in other areas. His method was similar to Ion’s, but what was different was that he had many more areas to worry about than Ion.

Well, this wasn’t too surprising. Who asked him to have so many women sleeping in his bed?

“Forget it, it’s pointless thinking about it now. Marlene, what’s the situation with Karin?”

“Progress is fast; almost 80 percent complete. According to your requirements, the first batch of equipment should be ready within three days. But Rhode, our manpower…”

“It’s fine, get them to work faster. As for manpower…”

Rhode narrowed his eyes. Then, he flipped his wrist around and held a card in his hand.

“I suppose I can find a group of companions who are very willing to stir trouble.”
