Tamer of Cosmic Beasts - Chapter 125

The King followed the Illusionist Dragon, they reached the stadium’s parking lot. At the parking lot, there were various expensive and luxurious vehicles.

“Let me show you my baby”

Bernard said as he went towards a long gold plated car. Akash Tagar was familiar with vogue objects and all but a vehicle was something he never had seen in his past life.

On the outside, Akash Tagar reacted as it was nothing special for him but deep inside, the king was eager to explore that car.

Bernard Maracass gingerly touched the roof of the car and said.

“Such a lovely car, isn’t it?”

“Indeed it is”

Akash Tagar replied indifferently

“I wonder who is its owner!”

Bernard said and crossed the car

Akash halted his feet and asked.

“This isn’t your car?”

“Nah, my baby is way more pretty than this crap”

The dragon answered without looking at Akash.

A thought invaded the mind of the king.

“How could humans make such chic machinery, it’s better than royal horse carriage.”

He kept pondering as he resumed his walk, in his old life Akash Tagar was called Sage Scholar. He was at the peak in his field, he always welcomed new knowledge with warm open arms. What Akash was seeing right now was a new project of machinery he never read or seen before, vehicles.

Bernard crossed the golden plated car and stood in front of a small two-seated junk car, whose windscreen was cracked. The entire car was painted in green, with dragon images on doors.

“Look at this masterpiece, with one glance your heart will yen to steal it, right?”

Bernard said as he kissed his car.

Akash Tagar silently clenched his fists.

“Yes, a marvellous car, no doubt. But… I would prefer to walk.”

“Ah! Don’t be like that hero. By the way, tell your people that I can see them”

Bernard Maracass said as he sat in his car

Akash Tagar paused for a moment and quietly sat in the car as well.

“Haha, I thought you prefer to walk”

Bernard chuckled.

“I believe it would be great if I witness the marvel of your baby with my own eyes”

“You are absolutely right, hero. Let’s go to the Icon Tower. Woohoooo”

As they left the parking lot, House Master together with the members of Death Gate emerged out of shadows.

“I knew we can’t escape the eyes of Star King”

Haji Tea uttered.

“Our liege is in danger, we should tail them”

Daan Godlyn said right after.

“Yes, let’s go”

Sacra Emilat participated in the chat.

“You all go, I have some business here”

Haji Tea told the rest.

With that, everyone went after the duo. The lone Haji Tea sighed and gazed at the gold plated car.

“So this is the newest model of rolls royce”

Akash and Bernard were quiet, it was until Bernard broke the silence.

“Who are you?”

He asked

“I’m Akash Tagar from Abran city”

The Sage Emperor replied.

“Don’t fool me hero, I am a god-like existence on this planet. I am not your enemy, so tell me where did you come from?”

“I’m from Interstellar Pride”

Akash gave the same answer he gave to Haji Tea back then.

“I will not buy that, Haji Tea may not know this but this planet is not affiliated with Interstellar Pride. According to the law, if Interstellar Pride sends anyone on this planet then it will lead to an all-out war amongst various organisations.”

Akash Tagar was stunned at this point.

“System, which organisation this planet is affiliated with”

The king quickly asked the system.

*beep*

[The planet Earth is affiliated with the Red Moon organisation].

Akash pivoted his head to face the Illusionist Dragon and replied.

“Red Moon isn’t aware of my existence, it’s a secret mission given to me.”

“What mission?”

Bernard asked, this time it was a serious tone.

It was a life and death moment for Akash, regardless of how friendly Bernard was, he’s still at the Star King stage. He can erase the entire force of Ancestral Law Enforcement with nothing but a flick of a finger. Akash continued.

“This planet is corrupt to the core, thousands of geniuses died because of injustice and discrimination. I am here to change this system.”

“Wrong answer”

Bernard Maracass replied.

A sweat of drop rolled down Akash’s cheek, he prepared himself for every possibility.

“You are the only disciple of Bernard Maracass, whose identity was kept hidden by Bernard.”

Akash Tagar furrowed his eyebrows, as he gazed at Bernard.

“Pardon?”

“This is what you will say if they ever inquire you”

The pounding heartbeat of king eased, he asked.

“What do you mean by they?”

“Other dragons of this planet, excluding me, there are nine others. None of them will believe your lame ass story, they’ll burst your bubble by contacting Interstellar Pride and you will become an enemy of a whole universe”

A drop of sweat rolled down on Akash Tagar’s cheek, he questioned out of curiosity.

“Why are you helping me?”

“There are two reasons. First, I have the same beliefs as yours but my hands are cut by my rank and power. I am the weakest of ten dragons, they will kill me if I revolt against their made system. So I will bet my all on you to end this nepotism and will support you from shadows.”

Bernard explained.

“Are you…”

Akash wanted to ask something but he held back his words, but the foreign minister understood and answered.

“Yes, I was also a victim of this system once.”

Both became quiet for quite a while until the king asked.

“What’s the other reason”

“The second reason is… I need a friend.”

Bernard smiled, Akash Tagar replied with a smile as well.

“How much do you know about the ten dragons?”

Bernard asked

“Nothing”

Bernard sighed

“Don’t speak of Interstellar Pride again when you don’t even know about us. We ten dragons are the paramountcy of this planet, each dragon has one province under their jurisdiction and a unique position that represents this planet. I am the jurist of Sindh province with the position of foreign minister of this planet.”
