I Have a Dragon in My Body - Chapter 26
Because the battle had ended too quickly, the people below the platform had not even finished placing their bets when it was already time to distribute the rewards.
Everyone in the organization was dumbfounded. They were still waiting to observe the other party’s situation before making the second round of the bet!
On the stage, Mark bowed to Johnny and left the hall from the side steps.
“Today’s meaningless battle was really a waste of time!” Mark could not help but sigh as he walked down the stage.
Seeing Mark so depressed, Nelson, who was very conspicuous in the crowd, raised his hand and waved at him, “Mark! This way.”
After shouting, he turned and led Mark out of the hall to a very quiet place outside the Battle Arena.
“Look at this. If you’re interested, you can participate!” With that, he took out the letter of appointment from his pocket and handed it to Mark.
After receiving it, Mark glanced at it and was very surprised.. It was a letter of appointment from the leader of the Empire’s Foreign Special Operations Team.
“Eh, I can’t possibly…”
Nelson patted Mark on the shoulder and explained, “There’s no special meaning in obtaining this identity.”
“It only allows you to receive more bonus missions from the Empire’s Garrison Guard Station.”
“You need to know that more than 60% of the missions of the Adventurer Guild come from the Empire’s Garrison Guards.”
“After you obtain this identity, you can skip the Adventurer’s Guild and obtain a direct mission from the Garrison Guard Station!”
After hearing Nelson’s explanation, Mark suddenly realized, “I see!”
“Thank you so much!”
“There’s no need to thank me, it is only because some of my family members are in charge of the Garrison Guard Station.”
“Therefore, every time you complete a mission, my family will benefit greatly!”
“This is a cooperative relationship.”
“On the other hand, I have to thank you, because there are not many talents like you.” With that, Nelson bowed to Mark and left.
Looking at him as he left, Mark could not help but feel even closer to Nelson, because this man did not have the arrogance of other nobles.
He would speak his thoughts frankly and explain everything.
He was not stingy with the people he liked and did not like to form cliques. He was upright and chivalrous. Such people were rare among the nobles!
He glanced at the appointment and put it away.
He turned and walked back to his room.
In the room, Mark sat on the sofa.
Thinking about the class today, he took out the learning materials in his hand and looked through them before leaning on the sofa in relief.
Soon, he thought of Senforia!
“Right! I have to tell her about the long trip to the academy. Otherwise, she’ll call and harass me again!”
With that, he took out his communication device and dialed…
Beep! Beep! Beep! No one answered.
Just as he was about to hang up, the communication device in his hand vibrated. He answered the call at the fastest possible time!
“Mark!”
“What do you want?” The voice was a little breathless, as if she had just jogged a distance.
“It’s like this…” Mark told her about the long trip.
“There’s still a week!!!”
“Ah! Ah! Ah! I’ll be back soon!”
“Thank you! I have something urgent to do. I’ll contact you after I’m done!” Then, she quickly hung up.
Sensing Senforia’s state, Mark smiled and placed the communication device on the table. He lay down on the sofa and fell asleep.
Ten minutes ago, in the Empire Castle, the Emperor was having a gathering with his children.
Suddenly, his youngest daughter, Micheria’s magic communication device rang, and she rushed out in her dress.
This scene shocked him!
“How long has it been since she entered the academy? She’s already found someone she likes!”
After waiting for a few minutes, he saw his daughter, Micheria, running back from the door.
It was as if nothing had happened as she sat back down to eat.
This made everyone at the table interested!
In their eyes, Micheria had been very naughty as a child and was famous for causing trouble in the noble circle!
The noble men who had grown up with her had basically been beaten up before.
For so many years, the Emperor had given her countless blind dates. Most of them had cried because of their incompatibility.
Be it the heir of a Duke or the prince of a neighboring country, they were all scared of her!
Today, she actually ran out of the banquet publicly and even received an unknown call from someone!
After the family banquet, the Emperor returned to his room and immediately called for the Shadow Guard who was in charge of protecting Micheria.
“Your Majesty!” The Shadow Guard knelt before him.
“Have you paid attention to Micheria’s contacts recently?”
The Shadow Guard immediately searched her pocket and took out an old photo.
In the end, the Emperor frowned and remembered something unpleasant.
It was because the man in the photo had a deep history with him!
He did not expect that after so many years, he could still hear about this man. It made him sigh with emotions!
“Is he this man’s son?”
“What’s his name?”
“Your Majesty, his name is Mark. He’s in the same school as Princess Micheria, and his dorm is next to hers.”
Hearing this, the Emperor turned around and looked out the window.
“Sixteen years! I didn’t expect you to hide in the wilderness all these years to get married and raise a child.”
Thinking of this, the Emperor remembered something and continued asking, “Does Mark also have a very powerful perception ability?”
Hearing this, the Shadow Guard was stunned, but she quickly recovered. “Yes, just like his father!”
“I’ve already experienced it a while ago!”
“Even if my strength is several times higher than his, I have no way of escaping his pursuit!”
After a moment of silence, the Emperor of St. Vincent’s returned the picture to the Shadow Guard and let her leave.
He sat down at the table and took out a young picture from the drawer. There were five people in the picture.
Inside the photos, there was Mark’s father when he was young and he was using a sword holder that was similar to Mark’s.
“So many years have passed!”
“I didn’t expect you to send your son to the Empire Magic Academy!”
“Micheria and Mark?”
“Hahaha! How interesting. I want to see how your precious son will take down my daughter!”
On a snow mountain far away, a man in a thick suit was grilling by a flame in a small cabin.
Suddenly, he felt a chill behind him!
“Huh! Who is it? Someone’s talking about me over such a distance!”
Another man in strange clothes in the wooden house drank a mouthful of hot tea and said to him, “Do you want me to help you deduce it?”
“Forget it, forget it. Just focus on helping me complete my plan!”
