Chapter 156: The Gold Dragon’s Might!

“Boss! There are a lot of them. There are about 500 of them in the biggest training room on the first floor! Would it be too much for you?” Dickens asked Locke after ordering his subordinate to make the arrangements.

Locke stood up and said, “Turn off the surveillance cameras, and don’t peek in…”

After all, Locke owned an actual dragon. He did not want to expose himself this early.

He needed to understand Lil’ Dragon’s strength firsthand before deciding what to do next.

“Understood! I promise you, I’ll blind anyone who dares to peek at you! And don’t worry, the soundproofing effect of the training hallss are very good…”

Although Dickens looked like a bandit, Locke was very satisfied with him.

Compared to those sanctimonious aristocrats, people like Dickens were more reliable.

After leading Locke to the largest training hall on the first floor, Dickens’s subordinates immediately rushed out of the place.

Soon, Locke heard the squeaking of rats.

“Squeak… Squeak… Squeak… Squeak… Squeak…”

Not long after, the squeaks had become deafeningly loud!

The Violent Rats had savage personalities, and they were voracious creatures that devoured anything in their way!

Their bodies were also more than ten times the size of ordinary rats!

Locke was impressed. ‘How on earth did Dickens manage to catch this many of them?’

The group of rats quickly surrounded Locke, and after being starved for so long, their eyes glowed green with hunger upon spotting the “food” before them.

Locke waved his hand, and a dazzling golden dragon appeared behind him!

“Roar!”

The Gold Dragon’s roar immediately hurled back the Violent Rats at the forefront by two to three meters!

“Clang… Clang!”

Two golden, dazzling wings that were over ten meters long spread out!

Lil’ Dragon looked awe-inspiring!

It looked domineering!

“Lil’ Dragon, let’s test out your Dragon Flames!” Locke ordered with a smile.

Lil’ Dragon’s attribute was Intelligence. As such, it immediately understood what its master meant and it quickly gathered up the rats.

Its throat began to throb!

“Grr…Grr…”

Once it had finished rounding up the Violent Rats, Lil’ Dragon attacked!

It soared into the air, and unleashed an intense wave of flames!

“Boom! !”

None of the rats surrounding Locke were spared!

They were all enveloped by the Dragon Flames!

Due to the flapping of the Gold Dragon’s wings and the impact of the flames that it unleashed, the entire training hall shook!

Even the stalls near the training hall had been quaked apart!

Dickens, who was waiting outside the door of the training room, had lost his footing and fell. “Oh my God! Boss, what kind of Battle Beast are you using in there? Isn’t it too powerful?”

Five minutes later, Locke observed his surroundings.

Not a single Violent Rat was left!

Not even their hair was left!

All that was left was a mountain of ashes.

In just five minutes, Lil’ Dragon had taken care of 500 purple quality Daemons!

Locke was really satisfied with the result!

In his joy, he took out three gold bars and threw them into Lil’ Dragon’s mouth.

“Nothing will ever stand in my way again!”

Locke subconsciously clenched his fists, and his heart thumped with excitement.

However, upon leaving the training hall, Locke soon reverted to his usual indifferent expression.

Dickens went forward and said, “Boss, you’ve worked hard! The coffee I prepared for you just now was knocked over, but don’t worry, I’ve already ordered my subordinates to make another cup! Oh right! I’ve already booked a restaurant for you tonight, I assure you that the meal will be delicious!”

Then, his lips curled into a wicked smile and he whispered, “I’ve also arranged for a lot of beautiful women, their looks and bodies are definitely explosive! Don’t worry, their mouths are very firm…”

Locke was in a very good mood.

‘Come to think of it, I haven’t rested properly in a while.’

Thus, Locke had gone along with Dickens’ wishes.

…

Gold City was in chaos, especially in the underground, where all sorts of rumors were being spread about.

According to the rumors, the 200 Beastmasters that the Trent family had sent to the Holy City were wiped out by a single Beastmaster.

Intimidated by the rumor, many of the exiled Beastmasters had taken their leave from Gold City.

In the residence of the Trent nobles…

In the master’s villa…

A luxuriously dressed man walked up to a chair with gold embroidery, bowed, and knelt down on one knee. “Report! The underground has been in chaos for the past few days, and many of the exiled Beastmasters are leaving. Should we take action?”

The person sitting on the chair was not alone.

“Oh?” The middle-aged man with rings of three different colored gemstones on his hand said, “Those who left are just stray dogs. They don’t have much strength to begin with. Hmm… But if they leave, our profits would also take a fall… Get someone to round them up and sell them to Wind City. The king there is in need of manpower. Make sure the price is reasonable. Although they are not strong, they are not slaves. Douglas, oversee this matter personally…”

“Yes! Understood!”

A woman with revealing clothes and flirtatious makeup was feeding a cherry into the middle-aged man’s mouth.

“Baby, I am really satisfied with you. Let’s sleep together tonight…” The man caressed the woman’s body, and his eyes were full of lust!

“Aww… I can’t believe that the Booster plan has failed. What’s going on in the Holy City? I’m so impatient…” Alice pouted and acted coquettishly in his arms.

Douglas had already received his order, and thus, he took his leave. However he made sure to shoot the woman a glare before leaving.

He could not understand why a Count of the Holy City would willingly give up her body to his master, who was only a Viscount.

She had already arranged a marriage and was even willing to give away her title as a Count.

She claimed that it was for the sake of ruling the Holy City and killing Locke, who had emerged victorious in the Three Academies Martial Arts’ Display.

He did not expect his master, Viscount Barrette to agree to her demands.

In the eyes of the rational Douglas, his master was growing desperate.

He hoped that the Trent family would steadily gain recognition from the royal family, and earn their titles in a proper manner!

The dissatisfied Douglas quickened his pace. After all, he needed to focus, as his current task had irked him even more — human trafficking.

The Trent family had given him a second chance in life.

He was abandoned on birth. Had it not been for his master taking him in, he would have already become Daemon food a long time ago.

It was precisely because of this that he had no choice but to do things that went against his conscience.

It was to repay his master’s kindness.

After passing through a magnificent hall, he arrived at a garden. A few figures made him stop in his tracks. He faced one of the young men and once again knelt down on one knee. “How are you doing, Young Master Armstrong? I’m current heading off to complete a mission that was assigned to me by Master Ralph.”
