In the field, Lex watched Chen Rui quietly.

“Elder Stanwell, Elder Pelin, I’m sorry. I have a few words to say to this sir alone.”

Stanwell saw that Chen Rui didn’t raise any objection, so he immediately signaled Pelin. The 2 bowed at Chen Rui and left the enchantment range.

Lex the Great was also an eyewitness to the battle of the Holy Light Mountain. Stanwell knew that the Great Emperor probably recognized ‘Arthur’. Of course, he didn’t think ‘Arthur’ would be Lex’s son. He kicked out this ‘son’ of the Empire and reported to the Holy Church – Now even the Church itself had fully clarified the matter.

However, it now appeared that there might be other entanglements between the 2.

Lex then spoke up to Chen Rui, “What a surprise. I actually meet you here.”

“I’m also surprised.” Chen Rui said indifferently.

“Phil… misses you.” Lex shook his head, “No matter how I explained it, she always believed that you are her brother.”

“At least having a wish is hopeful. Take good care of her.”

Lex sighed, “Garfield is dead.”

“Oh?” Chen Rui raised his eyebrows.

“Luke.” Lex said a name.

“The fourth prince?” Chen Rui said with a disdainful smile, “He has also been holding back for a long time. He finally can’t bear it?”

“He has always colluded with the remnants of the Cloud Rider Empire. The assassinations I encountered were planned by him. He wanted to put the blame on Garfield and create the illusion of Garfield committing suicide. As a result…”

“Is Luke dead too?”

“No, he was just imprisoned in secret by me. He can only spend his life in a yard.” There was loneliness in Lex’s eyes.

“You’re in your prime, firmly controlling the entire empire.” Chen Rui shook his head lightly, “For an empire, it is lucky; for a ruler’s family, it is unlucky. Not every inheritor has sufficient patience; not every ruler has the guts and determination to let go. Whether it’s Luke or Garfield, this ending is a relief. Don’t tell me there’s no successor. You’re still young, so is the empire, you totally have time to cultivate or give birth to inheritors. I just hope the same results… don’t appear again.”

Lex stared at him for a moment and sighed softly as he said, “Blue Glory Empire’s King Klongter also encountered assassination, but he seemed to have less luck than me. He was seriously injured, which induced old injuries. Now, he is unconscious. During this period, Princess Landbis quickly wiped out all dissidents including Second Prince Victor with the blood and iron policy, firmly controlling the situation. If everything goes smoothly, when Klongter wakes up or dies, the Blue Glory Empire is about to be replaced by an empress.”

Landbis… finally got her wish?

“These have nothing to do with me.” Chen Rui smiled indifferently.

Lex looked at Bortuli and Lavdino outside the enchantment, “I already know what happened today. Leave these 2 to me.”

Chen Rui thought for a while and nodded, “If your handling can’t give me and my family a satisfactory explanation, I don’t mind handling it myself.”

“Family? This is…” Lex’s eyes were set on Catherine and surprise flashed across his eyes, because he keenly felt that there was a very special demeanor in this seemingly mysterious woman.

A superior!

And not an ordinary superior.

That gaze, that temperament, breath and momentum, is clearly…

A ruler who controls everything!

Catherine also noticed the abnormality. When the eyes of the 2 met, they both felt the feeling of ‘the same kind’!

Perhaps even Chen Rui had no such feeling. Only those who had also stood on the power peak stage for many years could feel this.

Lex’s pupils contracted slightly. I don’t know when the human world has such a ruler – not an ordinary king, but a great ruler!

“She is my woman.”

Catherine seemed to understand something, and she bowed deeply to Lex. Lex understood that if it weren’t for Chen Rui’s words, the etiquette between him and her would never have been like this.

“Daddy, mommy…” Duoduo said curiously. Chen Rui shook his head at her. Duoduo pouted her mouth in dissatisfaction, but she didn’t speak anymore. She just rubbed daddy’s hair back and forth.

When Lex heard the words ‘daddy mommy’, he couldn’t help being shocked. His gaze that looked at Duoduo softened immediately, “This is your daughter? What’s her name?”

“Her name is Duoduo.” Chen Rui took her daughter from Catherine’s arms and lovingly straightened her crooked braids, “There is something wrong with her body.”

“What is the problem?”

“You don’t need to know that. I’m going to take her to the Flaring Sun Volcano in the Red Eagle Empire for treatment.”

“The Flaring Sun Volcano?”

Chen Rui sneered, “It seems that you don’t know yet? As long as one is willing to pay a lot of money, those elite scout griffons of your Thunder Legion can be turned into private aircraft for carrying cargo or personnel at any time.”

“I know now. There are other things that I want to solve together this time.” Lex took a deep breath and nodded slowly, “By the way, the Thunder Legion is going to the Flaring Sun Volcano for a flight practice… …”

“Let’s not talk about the harsh environment of the Flaring Sun Volcano. As far as the location is concerned, it should be in the westernmost part of the Red Eagle Empire. Your legion is going to practice across the hinterland of a neighboring country?”

“You don’t need to know. I just want to tell you that the top elite war griffon in the legion is much faster than the ordinary scout type.”

“Of course, I don’t need to know, your practice has nothing to do with me because I don’t need a griffon anymore. There is a creature that is much faster than a griffon.” Chen Rui said lightly, “I’m sorry, my time is limited. I must go… Please take care.”

Lex the Great was silent for a while. He looked at Chen Rui who turned away and said nothing.

Catherine turned her head to Lex. This time Lex didn’t stand still, but he cautiously bowed back in the same way.

Catherine didn’t speak and followed behind Chen Rui.

“Daddy.” Duoduo whispered to Chen Rui’s ear, “Who is this uncle?”

“You can’t call him uncle.” Chen Rui paused and replied softly, “He is my…”

Lex immediately pricked up his ears, but unfortunately, he couldn’t hear him clearly because Chen Rui had already strode out of the soundproof enchantment with Duoduo in his arms.

When Lex removed the enchantment, Chen Rui had come to Stanwell with Duoduo and Catherine in his arms.

Duoduo should have understood the relationship with this ‘uncle’. Probably because of some kind of order from his father, she didn’t speak and just waved desperately at Lex with her eyes flashing with surprise.

Seeing the little girl’s pure smile without any impurities, Lex felt a soft spot in his heart being touched heavily.

This kind of emotion was like the first time he met his beloved Ikrina on the ball, and it was like the feeling of being a father when the first child was born.

Afterward, Dragon Elder Stanwell changed from a human form to a huge dragon body, and he bowed his usual proud head. Chen Rui and Catherine hopped up with Duoduo, and the holy dragon fluttered its wings and rose into the sky.

Lex saw that the little girl was still waving at him.

Not reverence, not fear, just closeness.

Lex wanted to wave hard at her too.

But he couldn’t.

He could only silently watch him, her, and her, riding the giant dragon and disappearing from his vision.

After withdrawing from the distant gaze, Lex slowly walked back to the center of the golden knight, returning to the cold and dignified gaze which glanced over the still incontinent Bortuli and the slumped Lavdino. They finally set on Vajoron whose eyes flickered.

“The Black Death Follower you mentioned is the honored guest of the Dragon Valley.” Lex made Vajoron’s cold sweat broke out in 1 sentence, “I haven’t introduced to you yet. This is Elder Pelin of the Dragon Valley, who is under the control of the Dragon Emperor Royal Majesty Pagris’ order to secretly protect me, and the one who flew away just now is the confidant of the Dragon Emperor Royal Majesty Pagris, the holy dragon Elder Stanwell of the Demi-God Level.”

Only then did Vajoron know that these 2 strangers were the dragons who were hiding and protecting Lex. The one who did not hesitate to change the dragon’s body in public and respectfully carried the 3 of them and flew away, was actually a powerful holy dragon who was the Dragon Emperor’s confidant elder. He possessed the strength of Demi-God level!

No wonder Lex the Great went so cautiously. The soundproofed conversation was probably negotiating.

Then, ‘Black Death Follower’ whom I personally identified just now…

When Vajoron thought of this, he was sweating profusely. That kind of extraordinary strength could be said to have surpassed the ordinary world. Some rules were simply non-existent to them. If they really wanted to retaliate or attack, the consequences would be disastrous.

Fortunately, behind the Dragon Bright Empire were the dragons, that person should have given face to Lex the Great.

“Your Majesty, it seems that it was a misunderstanding just now. In fact, my son Bortuli… is also thinking for Your Majesty’s safety.”

“Shut up! What does my safety have to do with your son’s desire for beauty?” Lex the Great said angrily, “You still want to argue! According to the accurate intel I got, the cause of this incident is because your good son has bad intentions for that madam! And you! Lavdino, you not only coveted their treasure, but you framed that madam as the Black Death Follower. You are so disappointing! Elder Pelin, I’m sorry for recommending such a despicable character to you.”

What’s the use of saying sorry? I am almost killed by this idiot… Pelin muttered to himself, but he shook his head resolutely on the surface, “I have received the order of that sir, and I will never be associated with Lavdino again. Your Majesty can deal with him as you wish, don’t worry about me. Besides… I suggest that you punish him severely and set an example!”

The last sentence made Lavdino, who was already tormented by pain and fear, unable to hold back. He finally fainted.

Then Lex the Great said something that made Vajoron almost faint too, “Let’s not talk about your damn son. Talk about my son. Do you also call 1 of my sons as ‘Your Majesty’ in private?”

“Your Majesty! I never…”

Before he could finish speaking, a booklet was thrown at Vajoron’s feet, and Lex’s cold voice sounded, “Look for yourself.”

Vajoron timidly picked up the booklet, and he shivered after turning a few pages.

“Your plan accomplices, Legion Commander Folie of the Thunder Legion, Deputy Legion Commander Temondry… and many others have already confessed.” Lex said sternly, “I came to Dragon Horn City this time not only to inspect but also to prove some things. The results… really surprised me. Don’t carry any more hope. What you see now are the troops that are completely loyal to me, and all your forces have been removed by me. “

“Your Majesty! I was just confused at that time, and I was threatened by the fourth prince. Your Majesty, in view of the Lakne Family’s many years…” Vajoron knew that the situation was over, and it was useless to argue, so he quickly begged for mercy.

Lex said ghastly, “Since you are so confused, the Lakne Family no longer needs to exist.”

Genocide? The Government Administration Council Dean, Old Kovax, on the side was surprised and spoke up, “Your Majesty…”

Lex raised his hand and stopped Old Kovax’s advice, completely ignoring the wailing of Vajoron who was being dragged down. He slowly looked away and set his gaze on a cloud where the huge figure disappeared.

TL: It would be a spectacular scene if Duoduo smooches Lex’s face 😆
