Evil Dragon: The young dragon I picked up keeps planning on becoming an empress

Chapter 296: Chapter 198: I have an Elf here, Red Dragon King. Buy her and let her fall in love with you.

The elephant soldiers guarding the gates of Watchful City eyed the Red Dragon King in front of them with some trepidation. How had the long-absent Red Dragon King suddenly returned?

The city lord is bound to have nightmares again tonight. Back in the day, the Red Dragon King had swindled one of the city lord’s tusks.

It was bad enough he tricked the city lord out of a tusk, but a few days later, he also conned a substantial amount of money that the city lord had saved up for a long time.

Because the Red Dragon King used a special metal material to refine a new tusk for the city lord, this tusk was of much better quality than the one the city lord originally had.

The Red Dragon King went from a poor and weakling “Little Red Dragon” to a “Powerful Red Dragon” in a short amount of time, only because of the sponsorship from various city lords nearby, which allowed him to grow.

The city lord of Watchful City had also once tried to settle old scores with the Red Dragon. He left the city full of confidence, sure of victory.

When he returned, he was holding a bill, utterly disheveled.

In those years, the city lord uttered the cruelest words and faced the harshest beatings, and his resplendent palace gradually turned into a thatched cottage.

Sometimes… the city lord would even be dragged off to work by the Red Dragon King.

Remember that time when the Red Dragon King came to Watchful City again to find the city lord for work, and the city lord defiantly refused.

That was because the city lord had cleared his debt to the Red Dragon King by working for him, so he proudly declined the Red Dragon King’s offer to employ him once more.

Then, the Red Dragon King made a harsh statement, double salary, meals included!

The city lord ended up following the Red Dragon King to work, trailing behind him eagerly.

According to the city lord, they could neither fight nor out-talk him; they were honest and simple elephants who were innately outwitted by the treacherous and cunning, fierce Red Dragon.

To impose sanctions on the Red Dragon, they would need to seek out the mighty warriors, heroes, or powerful mercenary groups of the Human World.

Oh no, I wonder if the city lord has received the news that the Red Dragon King has come back.

They all know the Red Dragon King has returned, so the city lord should also be aware of it, right?

Nowadays, the Watchful Mountain Range has completely merged with Watchful City.

As long as Watchful City wants information on what’s happening in the Watchful Mountain Range, any slight movement can be communicated to the city at the first moment.

What is the city lord doing now?

He might be hiding his valuables everywhere so they don’t get into the hands of the Red Dragon King.

This won’t do, they need to buy the city lord some time to hide his treasures.

“Lord Red Dragon King, why have you suddenly returned? Have you found Dragon Island? The city lord said that when you left that year, it was to seek the legendary Dragon Island.”

“You must be mistaken, I am not the Red Dragon King.”

“Lord Red Dragon King, you jest. We have seen you before, and it’s not as if you are not standing right before us. Even if one day you turned to ashes, we would still recognize you.”

“???”

Lance stepped forward and grabbed the leading elephant person’s large ear with his Dragon Claw, “I feel like you just cursed me.”

“I wouldn’t dare, I wouldn’t dare curse you. I just spoke without thinking, please don’t be angry, Lord Red Dragon King. If it will appease you, I can cut off this ear and present it to you as a snack to accompany your drink.”

Lance let go of the elephant person’s large ear, patting the elephant person’s head neither too lightly nor too heavily, “Stop talking about such disgusting things, I’m not cruel enough to use your ears as a snack to accompany my drink; think, when have I ever eaten your ears.”

It seemed like the Red Dragon King had indeed never eaten their giant elephant ears.

To be precise, he would never eat any speaking beast.

The Red Dragon King was bad, but he never treated them as a buffet.

The concept of a buffet had spread from Red Dragon City.

“How did you recognize me?”

“The city lords who had dealings with you distributed your portraits throughout the mountains where the cities are and even rated your… ahem… your level of hospitality at the highest.

Any creature in the mountains who sees you must report it to the city at once, so the moment you appeared in the Watchful Mountain Range, we immediately received news of your return.”

They had slipped up, hoping the Red Dragon King wouldn’t delve too deeply.

After all, the Red Dragon King was well aware of his disaster level in the hearts of all the city lords.

He was a nightmare to the city lords, but also their enlightenment teacher.

There were several city lords who desired to kill the Red Dragon King, such as the one from Peacock City.

And the lord of Magma City, for instance.

Those two city lords would get murderous at the mere mention of the Red Dragon King’s name.

They would love nothing more than to imprison the Red Dragon King and lash him daily.

Realization dawned in Lance’s fiery vertical pupils.

Quite impressive.

They have managed to employ the creatures of the entire mountain range to their advantage and skillfully use their abilities. The city lord of Watchful City is truly a meticulous giant elephant.

“You don’t have to be so tense. I haven’t been a city lord for many years now. I am just back for a visit this time, with no intention of targeting any particular city lord, just strolling around, looking around, reminiscing about the glorious days of cooperation with your city lord and the others.”

“….”@@novelbin@@

Are you sure it’s about reminiscing the glorious days of cooperation with our city lord?

And not about recalling that time after the city lord finished the work and ate his meal, uttering the phrase ‘truly delicious’?

That’s a dark chapter in the city lord’s past.

Working for the Red Dragon King was one thing, but he couldn’t help expressing ‘truly delicious’ while eating.
