Chapter 704: Escaping the Danger
Chapter 704: Escaping the Danger
When he heard the Black Dragon King’s words, Zhong Feng broke out in a cold sweat.
This wasn’t because of Su Yu and Coco’s relationship, but because he suddenly remembered the terrifying presence at home.
Zhong Feng was 35 years old, already married, and his child was about the same age as Little Tian.
He exuded a fierce and mighty aura in the military and in front of outsiders, like a ferocious snow leopard.
But at home, his status as the family’s “younger brother” might not even be as high as that of their pet cat.
If the terrifying presence at home found out about this, he would surely be flayed alive.
Hearing the Black Dragon King’s words, Zhong Feng instinctively shivered in fear and immediately said, “Thank you, no need, I’ll take my leave!”
With that, he transformed into a black lightning bolt and fled the scene at top speed.
The thousands of dragons watched Zhong Feng’s hasty escape, utterly bewildered.
Was it really that bad? What’s wrong with Princess Coco?
Only after Zhong Feng disappeared from sight did they turn around and return to Dragon Island.
...
After leaving the dragons’ sight, Zhong Feng looked around but found no surveillance equipment.
He lowered his head and dived into the deep blue sea, causing waves to splash up on the surface.
His diving technique deserved a zero.
In the sea, Zhong Feng transformed into a Dolphin Form and continued to swim deeper into the ocean.
This was the advantage of the Druid profession; in the wild, they could go anywhere, making it extremely difficult for enemies to track them.
Three minutes later, four Raging Sky-313 reconnaissance drones arrived at the spot where Zhong Feng had dived.
After a thorough scan, the drones found nothing and had to return, helpless.
Five minutes later, in the Sunlit Empire’s royal palace, Intelligence Minister Xi Ong reported to the emperor, “Your Majesty, that black dragon has dived into the sea! We’ve lost his trail.”
Manina replied, “Dived into the sea? Dragons don’t usually dive into the sea... Could he have gotten a sudden craving for fish? No worries, just keep waiting. He’ll eventually resurface. Report any further developments.”
“Understood!”
“Also,” Manina added, “Xi Ong, investigate the black dragon’s movements since he arrived at Dragon Island three days ago.
Before his identity was exposed, where did he go, and which dragons did he meet? All of this must be thoroughly investigated, understood?”
“Yes, Your Majesty, I will do my best to handle it!”
...
Zhong Feng, in his Dolphin Form, swam rapidly toward the mainland.
Dolphins swim much slower than dragons fly, only about one-seventh of their speed.
However, Dragon Island wasn’t far from the mainland.
After swimming for about 20 minutes, Zhong Feng could faintly see the outline of land where the sea met the sky.
During this journey, he hadn’t been monitored, and his movements hadn’t been detected by the Skrull people.
Now that he was about to reach the mainland, he was absolutely safe.
However, at this moment, Zhong Feng suddenly remembered the Fate Dice Su Yu had given him.
The last time he rolled it, he got a “4.”
Now, he was planning to stir up trouble in a small country near the Sunlit Empire, and he had no idea what number he would roll this time.
Zhong Feng decided to roll it once to test his luck.
A golden light fell from the dolphin’s navel, passing through several meters of seawater and embedding itself in the muddy seabed.
Zhong Feng looked down and saw that the top face of the dice was glowing with six dazzling light points.
“It’s a ‘6’!” Zhong Feng exclaimed with joy.
A “6” meant that his upcoming actions would go smoothly.
Zhong Feng happily retrieved the dice from the seabed and swam toward the land with a light heart.
……
Zhong Feng managed to temporarily escape the danger, while other players had varying degrees of success and trouble with their own missions.
Yun Zhongmu was one of the players who had a relatively smooth experience.
The "Gesnor Hotel" was one of the largest and most luxuriously decorated hotels in the capital of the Renkete Alliance.
At this moment, on the 35th floor, a grand banquet hall that could accommodate 200 people was bustling with nobles and wealthy magnates, all dressed in their finest attire, mingling and toasting to each other.
On one side of the banquet hall, a small six-member band was energetically playing music. On the central stage, more than twenty beautiful Skrull ladies were dancing with passion.
The important figures below were chatting in small groups, but their attention was mostly focused on a stout middle-aged man standing in the most illuminated spot under the stage lights.
This middle-aged man was a noble, holding the title of Count, and he was a peripheral member of the royal family of one of the small countries that formed the Renkete Alliance.
However, in Renkete, noble titles weren't particularly valuable.
What truly mattered was one's cultivation, the resources they controlled, or the connections they had to get things done.
For this middle-aged man, his cultivation was only at the peak of the third stage, which wasn't particularly impressive, even among commoners.
His connections were also mediocre; being a peripheral member of a small country's royal family might have impressed people in the countryside, but in the capital city of Trener, it was nothing to write home about.
What truly made this middle-aged man stand out among the elite was his incredible luck in acquiring an extremely rare resource, one that could make all the power players in the room envious!
After the performance on stage ended, the Skrull ladies bowed to the nobles below and slowly exited the stage.
The middle-aged man, seated in the front row, stood up, straightened his jacket, and strode confidently toward the stage.
"Here he comes!" This thought echoed in the minds of every noble in the room.
All eyes were on him as he walked to the center of the stage.
He looked down at the "hungry wolves" below and got straight to the point, "Ladies and gentlemen, as you may know, I have acquired 5% of the original shares in the Bakar Space Ring Manufacturing Company, which is about to go public."
The atmosphere in the room immediately became tense.
In the current investment landscape of Skrull, the most sought-after investment was undoubtedly the space ring industry in Bakar.
Previously, the hottest investment sectors were the military industry and land development rights on Earth.
However, recent developments on Earth, particularly the "explosive mining" plans of the expeditionary forces, had turned many prime locations into wastelands, causing investor enthusiasm to wane and the investment market to stagnate.
Then, the space ring industry in Bakar emerged, reigniting investor passion!
Just yesterday, Bakar's Speaker, Cindy Doppler, officially unveiled the first batch of 100 space rings, causing a massive stir worldwide!
And these 100 space rings weren't just the smallest one cubic meter size; they also included two cubic meters and three cubic meters.
There was no doubt that once this stock went public, its price would skyrocket!
And 5% of the original shares? The potential for future growth was unimaginable!
The nobles in the room looked at the middle-aged man on stage with envy and jealousy.
What a lucky bastard!
