Chapter 1109 - A Bothersome Suggestion (1/2)
Rhode detected the uncertainties in his younger sister’s voice. She couldn’t be blamed as the situation of the Dragon Soul Continent was different from other worlds, which was why the plane channel’s destination was difficult to determine. This was also why even Creator Dragons had to resign themselves to their fate after activating the teleportation door. As Chaos was trapped outside the entire continent, it would be impossible for Chaos to treat people of Order well based on their chaotic characteristics. And now, something actually broke through the barrier of Chaos to set up a stable point. This was enough to worry the Creator Dragons. In fact, Rhode empathized with his younger sister. It was as though humans took great pains to think something through and could finally make interplanetary travel in the solar system, only for an alien fleet to show up before them after crossing the galaxy effortlessly. The uneasiness caused by this gap in civilization levels was only natural. Moreover, it was apparent from their approach in taking down Erin that they harbored malicious intent. In this case, as the Void Dragon who created the Dragon Soul Continent, his younger sister naturally paid more attention to it. Not to mention, the data had also infiltrated Rhode’s system, which made the situation even more dangerous.
While Rhode and his younger sister discussed, Alice’s ‘Historical Tracing’ came to an end. Rhode turned around and nodded at Lydia, before shifting his gaze to the rest. Of course, he turned a blind eye to Ion.
“Alright, I suppose everyone witnessed what happened. What are your opinions about it?”
“How do we know that is the truth? Or perhaps that is only a smokescreen of yours?”
Ion swept a glance at Rhode, snorted, and asked. Upon facing his taunting, Rhode wasn’t mindful at all.
“I don’t care if you believe it or not. Anyway, I do.”
“You…”
“What? You’ve something to say? I advise you, as the Dark Dragon, to smash your head against the wall if you aren’t more familiar with your younger sister than I am. Or perhaps I should do you the favor and slash that idiotic head of yours from that neck?”
Rhode replied in an ice-cold tone. He flipped his right wrist over and a silver-whitish sword appeared in his hand. Looking at this scene, Ion turned grim. As the Dark Dragon, he held utmost supremacy in the entire Country of Darkness! But now, he was taunted by this young man time and time again!
This bast*rd is asking for death!
At this thought, Ion reached out and pressed his hand on his sword hilt, staring at Rhode grimly. Meanwhile, their subordinates had no reaction at all. After all, this wasn’t the first conflict they had since the investigations team was formed. Garcia and Alice stood behind their masters silently as though ready to engage in battle. They clearly knew that the murderous intent erupting from their masters couldn’t get more genuine.
But every time, both sides weren’t able to get into a fight because…
“Woah! Please calm down, both of you. Please calm down!”
Corina raised her hands frantically, wedged herself between Rhode and Ion, and cried. As an elf in the Legendary Stage, of course she was able to sense the genuine murderous intent erupting from them. If either one of them were to not think of the consequences and attack, she would be dead either way!
Corina even had to embrace herself to mediate the situation. She was really having a hard time…
“I’ve reported to Madam Nalea and Madam Siena. May I ask both of you to please wait for a moment? Ah, no… I didn’t mean that. I… I…”
Corina said, pulling a long face and didn’t know what else she could say to persuade them. But it seemed like after these few days, this pitiful elf was starting to give up.
I’ve done my level best and shall leave the rest to God’s will. I can only rely on luck as to whether I will survive…
“…”
Unsure if Corina’s ‘acting cute’ worked or for some other reasons, Rhode and Ion swept a glance at her before dwindling their murderous intent at the same second with no one doing it quicker or later. This was a crazy and dangerous game. If one’s murderous intent were to dwindle first or later, one would have a sufficient reason to kill.
Anyway, they only needed one excuse to do it. Even if the excuse wasn’t all that reliable, it would be sufficient with just an excuse. If Corina knew she was merely a guinea pig in their competition, perhaps she would immediately head back and hand her resignation to the twin dragons…
“Hmph, so what’s next?”
