Dragon King's Harem Chapter 336. Cunning VS Cunning

"I never said anything or admitted it," he growled, his voice dripping with hostility. He clenched his jaw and narrowed his eyes. His retort was laced with defiance.

He appeared torn, caught between the desire to lash out in anger and the realization that such actions would only lead to further detriment. 

The stakes were high, and he knew it. Any misstep could spell disaster for his reign and the fragile peace between our tribes. He was at a crossroads.

“So you still think it's a fake capital? Should we destroy it?” I queried and maintained my calm demeanor.

Viperax's response was predictably defensive. “This is my business, you don't need to interfere,” he snapped.

Maintaining my composure, I addressed Viperax with a calm demeanor. “Fine,” I replied evenly, my tone unwavering. “Besides, I'm not that worried. Everyone in that 'Fake capital' should recognize your Tectonic Tempest," I continued, my words punctuated by a knowing tone. "That's your ultimate skill, and they should know who they're facing," I reminded him.

Viperax remained silent. His earlier defiance seemed to falter.

With the investigation concluded, I turned my attention to Viperax once more. “We are done with the investigation. Do you still want to be in that form or what?” I inquired.

Without a word, Viperax transformed back into his humanoid form. His clothes reformed around his body, yet the frustration etched on his face only seemed to intensify.

“You will pay for all this, Argod..." he seethed, his words dripping with resentment.

Unfazed by his threats, I met his gaze with a steely resolve. "You are blaming me for your own mistakes? Or does that mean war?" I retorted.

"Just saying. I know you've planned all this," he spat out, his displeasure evident.

I met his accusation head-on. "And I know you are behind this factory and all," I countered. "You just don't want to say it and keep avoiding it despite all the evidence," I added pointedly.

His response was a scoff.

"I never wish for war or dominion, but I'm the dragon king," I proclaimed. "It's my duty to protect this world from chaos and make sure everything stays in order," I continued. "I will not hesitate to destroy anyone who violates that," I declared, a "friendly" reminder of the power I wielded.

"It's surely nice to be born as a royal dragon, isn't it?" Viperax's response was laced with bitterness. 

Yet, I refused to be swayed by his taunts.

In response, I offered a simple acknowledgment of my privilege. "Yes. It's nice," I conceded, using my portal skill once again.

With the portal open before us, I glanced at Viperax, silently inviting him to step through. 

Al returned to his humanoid form beside me.

“Shall we go back to the tent? Or would you prefer to return to your capital to check things out?” I posed the question. I knew the decision rested in Viperax's hands, a choice that would reveal much about his intentions and priorities.

Viperax hesitated for a moment, his expression betraying the conflict raging within him. 

I watched as he weighed his options, each fraught with its own implications and consequences. 

In the end, however, he seemed to reach a decision, his gaze meeting mine with a steely resolve.

“I will return to the tent,” he stated firmly.

With a nod, I gestured for him to step through the portal.
