Chapter 1321: Chapter 1306: The Tormented Young Master of Huadu Chapter 1321: Chapter 1306: The Tormented Young Master of Huadu “Father, why have you stopped talking?” Gladys blinked her eyes, looking at her suddenly silent father, then meticulously reflected on whether there was something inappropriate in what she had just said, but she found no issues.

“Are you thinking about matters related to my brother?” Gladys asked again.

“Ah!” Muria came to his senses and casually responded with a sound, but to be completely honest, that was of course not possible. How could he be such an irresponsible father? That image absolutely could not exist in his daughter’s impression of him,
“Yes, I am thinking about your brother’s affairs.”

“Is brother… maybe…” Gladys hesitated, stopping mid-sentence, then starting again, noticing that something seemed a little bit off.

“He is fine, he is currently experiencing the power that belongs to him. He might face some tribulations, but once he gets through them, he will be stronger than before.”

“You’re kidding, Father. Haven’t you already arranged enough trials for my brother? He’s already reached the Void, and he’s still undergoing trials!” Upon hearing Muria’s words, Tiffany immediately felt indignant on behalf of her brother, especially since her brother really had it tough.

From birth, he had been put through various challenges by her father, and after ascending to legend, he was pushed by her father into the imperial throne. Although it was a supreme position above countless creatures, Tiffany did not envy it at all, for with that enormous power came terrifying responsibilities and obligations.

Tiffany felt that if it were not for her brother’s powerful bloodline Talent, his cultivation would probably have been wasted due to laboring over the Empire’s affairs night and day.

Looking at her brother’s growth, it could be said to be extremely miserable; he barely enjoyed any good days, and even after becoming emperor, he took on obligations and barely enjoyed the full array of benefits.

In truth, it was they, the three sisters, who had enjoyed from birth until now. Moreover, after the eldest brother ascended the throne, they even received more preferential treatment and more rights than when their father was in power, and they did not abuse these privileges, remaining quite well-behaved.

“This is different from before. The trials he underwent previously were indeed arranged by me, but the tribulations he faces now are of his own making and have nothing to do with me.”

Upon hearing his daughter speak up for her brother, Muria immediately rejected the notion, wanting no association with it. He would not bear that burden, adhering to Titan’s rules, letting go once they came of age and allowing them to act freely.

“So, Father, do you know where my brother is currently?”

“Of course, I know. The very reason I am here is because of him. However, his current state might not be suitable for meeting you all. Of course, I can’t be certain, it’s been a while since I saw him last,” Muria said with a smile.

“Since you, Father, haven’t chosen a target to attack right now, why not choose my brother’s location? Take over the domain where he is, and then, Father, you’ll be able to train my brother just like before,” Tiffany suggested with sparkling eyes.

“Hmm…” Hearing his daughter’s suggestion, Muria immediately showed an interested expression. He quite missed playing…er, training Aeolus back in the day, one of the few pleasures he had in his long life.

“Father, I also think choosing the place where my brother is as your first conquest is a good idea,” Gladys agreed.

“Well then, let’s choose that place!” Muria agreed, persuaded by his daughters, having been indifferent about where to start the first battle.

Besides, that domain was not only Aeolus’s training ground but also his place of birth, which held some sentimental value for Muria, though not very significant.

…

“Thomas Bernhard, A-grade Bloodline, natural awakening. Based on short-term surveillance, the proportion of Dragon Blood in his body has surpassed 50%, with the possibility of losing control at any moment. Recommendation: elimination or detainment!”

“Dragon Blood proportion over 50%? That’s hardly even human anymore, just a monster in human skin. No, at this point, there should be Dragon characteristics appearing on him, he is a monster.”

“As long as the awakened Dragon Blood concentration in a human exceeds 50%, their Soul will be corroded by the Dragon Blood, turning into a different kind of monster with twisted morals while retaining human memories.”

“Yes, exactly, no matter who it is, once the Dragon Blood inside exceeds the limit, they are no longer human and immediate action must be taken! Otherwise, nobody can predict what the corrupted Soul will do.”

“Chairman, do we have more detailed information about this monster? For instance, his abilities.”

“The mission given to us by the Action Department this time is tricky. Our target has indeed become a monster, but he has not lost his wits; he cleverly uses his human appearance to hide among the crowd.”

The tall, but not outstanding among others, rather unremarkable-looking young man with black hair spoke in a calm tone about the situation. Compared to his predecessor who had vanished, he indeed seemed somewhat incompetent, but for some reasons, he had managed to secure his current position amid numerous voices of dissent.

“Then, Chairman, since he’s so smart and knows to hide himself, how did we find him?”

“Because he’s a monster. Even if he looks just like an ordinary person, his every move makes him stand out among regular people, like a firefly in the night.”

“What did he do to give himself away?”

“According to the Observer’s report, it seems to be his toying with the opposite sex. The abilities he displayed have already exceeded the range of normal humans, so he caught the attention of the Observer.”

“Cough, if it’s only that, I personally feel it’s not excessive, and there’s no need for elimination,”
“The reason why the Action Department issued such a mission is that the Dragonkin hiding among humans exhibits an extremely strong possessiveness towards the opposite sex he has touched, thereby creating many homicides, which has already caused considerable unrest in the area.”

“…So, the Dragonkin is male, right?”

“Yes.”

“Hmph, men.” A female officer sneered during the combat meeting.

“He’s no longer human.” A male officer, whose name was unknown, retorted weakly.

“No difference, all males think with their lower half.”

“Cough, that’s slander.”

“Humph, some of the deeds of those present aren’t much different from what this monster, who could lose control at any moment, does; it’s just not as extreme.”

…
“This is the monster with an extreme possessiveness towards the opposite sex? His human appearance looks pretty good! It’s a pity his Dragon Blood has exceeded the limit; otherwise, I might actually be interested in dating him.”

From a temporary operations room thousands of miles away, using multiple surveillance devices, a woman with a slender figure and vaguely visible muscle contours looked at the screen and then sighed her thoughts.

“Don’t be deceived by his appearance; it’s nothing but a disguise. Moreover, such behavior could put all your ex-boyfriends in danger.”

“I know, it’s a monster with a twisted possessiveness, and he will kill any related male creature that has been possessed by him.” The woman narrowed her eyes at the recorded images transmitted through nine relays.

Humans who awaken their Dragon Blood possess exceptionally sharp insight, making it quite dangerous to observe them directly through telescopic equipment or even through one layer of surveillance.

“Release the bait, begin the operation. It’s best for everyone to kill this monster, who no longer sees humans as his kind but as playthings, as soon as possible!”

…
Under the dark night sky, a humanoid monster with scales covering its body roared at the “woman” in front of it, and on its chest, a dagger gleamed faintly.

“How dare you…” The monster, whose body had swollen in size, extended its arms—now more apt for claws—grabbing the dagger piercing through its chest and enduring the pain to yank it out.

It could be seen that during the process of removing the dagger, the muscle tissue in the area was pulled, and some muscles had already grown onto the smooth blade, but all were ripped apart at this moment.

Thick blood spurted from the wound, splashing onto the ground with a sizzling sound, creating a mist of blood.

“Is this the self-healing ability of a monster whose Dragon Blood has exceeded the limit? Truly terrifying!”

The “woman” who had lured the man into this deserted area looked at the blood on the ground and exclaimed in amazement, her voice slightly hoarse, which instantly stunned the enraged monster.

“You’re not a woman?”

The man lifted his claws, pointing in disbelief at the “person” before him with an extremely feminine allure.

“Of course not, I’m merely a man with delicate features, and that’s why those damn guys nominated me to be the lure, bait for you, you freak.”

The “man,” who appeared even more feminine than a woman, flicked his beautiful and smooth long hair, showing a look of contempt,
“Honestly, before we discussed this plan, we were worried you, who had no idea how many women you had defiled, might see through it. It turns out, I only needed to apply a bit of makeup and dress up, and I easily deceived you, an idiot, into coming here. It was far too easy.”

“Ignorant ants… do you know what the consequences are of angering me?”

The man’s body trembled with rage from these words, causing the Dragon Blood flowing within him to become more active due to his emotions, leading to even more pronounced transformations in his body.

“Hehe, monster, do you know what happens when you catch our attention?”

“You, go die!” The creature, whose stature had grown to three meters, vanished from the spot, and where he had been standing, two Earth pits exploded from his movement.

However, regrettably, just as his claws were about to strike the “man’s” pale and slender neck, an armor-piercing bullet roared from afar, hit him square on, blasting him away, and then a barrage of gunfire enveloped him…
