Rise Of Void Dragons - Chapter 17

“You.. you ate it? Don’t lie to us!” Ning Qiang shouted furiously. He returned back to his normal self, not like a ‘Super Saiyan’ anymore, but his dominance didn’t go down at all. In fact, he was now more terrifying than he was in ‘Super Saiyan’ mode. He was like a suppressed nuclear bomb that can blast at any moment.

“Brat, do you know what it means to lie to his majesty?” An elder from the group also jumped up from his seat and joined in furiously.

How can he let go of this golden opportunity to become more competent in the eyes of his majesty?

To show his dominance over Wang Ming, he even banged the table loudly and roared loudly while pointing at Wang Ming, “Speak now! Brat!”

Wang Ming nearly knelt down on the ground, while his body was being crushed by the hostile pressure of everyone in the room; not being able to take this anymore he shouted, “I didn’t lie. I bought a Dragon Fruit from a shady street side vendor and then I ate it to subside my raging hunger.”

“…” The room went silent for a minute. No one spoke any further. Even the furious elder from before was silent.

He really ate it?

“You got that Dragon Fruit from a street vendor? Was it him?” Secretary Song who was standing on the side, silently analysed the situation properly for a while and then passed over a photograph to Wang Ming.

Wang Ming took the photograph and looked at it carefully.

The photograph, though a bit hazy, showed the face of an old man with long beard and hairs, covering his entire face.

He shook his head, “I wasn’t able to see his face clearly due to the mask on his face “, but halfway through his sentence, he came to an abrupt halt. Remembering something, he looked back at the image, specifically, he looked at the eyes in the image.

Those eyes!

He can still remember those deep eyes of that swindler!

And just as he thought, those eyes in the image are identical to the eyes he saw yesterday.

“Even though I didn’t see his face, I can still identify these eyes. I saw them clearly yesterday. It should be him! This bastard sold me that shady dragon fruit! ” Wang Ming told back the result honestly.

He was really furious. Just because of that shady bastard he was here!

Now, he knows that this group of people, higher-ups of the Ning Corporation will not let him go until they find out what they want.

And he was also doubting that what he ate yesterday was anything but a simple Dragon Fruit.

Why will a simple Dragon Fruit attract so many people? It’s not like it was created from diamonds!

Or was it?

“You can identify these eyes?” Secretary Song asked doubtfully. He wasn’t able to believe this simple statement, he thought he heard something wrong.

“Yes!”, but contrary to his expectations, Wang Ming replied back in all confidence.

A wired expression appeared on the face of Secretary Song. He turned towards Ning Qiang and sent a message telepathically, “Your Highness, is this brat also one of us? If not how can he still remember those beast trapping eyes?”

Ning Qiang was also confused after listening to him, he didn’t know what to say. He turned towards the hooded man and asked respectfully, devoid of any arrogance of power in his voice, “High Priest, is this boy…”

The hooded man shook his head, “Your majesty, I’m pretty sure he’s a pure human as of now. But the aura of the Dragon God Fruit can slowly change him. It should be due to that.”

‘Pure human as of now? Slowly change? Heck! What are you people talking about?’, The high priest didn’t use telepathy to send his message as Ning Qiang just asked him openly and thus he directly spoke out his thoughts. Wang Ming who was keenly paying attention to his surroundings, caught those words and his face distorted.

Are there even things that aren’t purely human?

There are offsprings from bestiality?

As his thoughts were drifting off from the main topic of discussion, Secretary Song interrupted his thoughts, “There are. But they aren’t due to that bestiality. You don’t need to know about any other details. Just tell us, where’s the Dragon God Fruit?”

“There are?” Wang Ming asked doubtfully. But he soon remembered about the ‘Super Saiyan’ chairman of the majestic Ning Corporation and didn’t speak any further.

So much time had passed and there was no news on the location of Dragon God Fruit, Ning Qiang was getting irritated over this. In a fit of irritation and anger, he slammed on the sandalwood table, turning it into fine sandal powder with just a slap and roared, “Don’t waste our time. Tell us where the Dragon God Fruit is?”

“I told you, I ate the Dragon Fruit from that man. If you don’t believe me, didn’t you people boasted that you can read my mind? Just verify it.” Wang Ming was also getting irritated after listening to the same question again and again. Ignoring the pressure on him, and gritting his teeth, he waved his hand and spoke nonchalantly.

What can they do? At most kill me? Just do it!

As if I fear death! Hmph!

‘At most you’ll just kill me. So be it! But I told you what I know about that Dragon Fruit from yesterday. Dammit! If I would have known about the troubles of that fruit, I would have run away from that man.’

Naturally, everyone in the room heard his thoughts and thus their expressions became ugly.

But Ning Qiang’s body trembled. Not because he was angry or he was suffering from a stroke. But because he suddenly thought of something.

“If… If what he is telling us is true, then how’s he still alive?”, Ning Qiang’s voice trembled with every word he spoke and he turned towards the hooded man, only to find him in similar condition.
