Zhiling City Lord's Residence.
City Lord Draconis had just finished a discussion with his subordinates and was resting in his study. There was no one else beside him other than his inseparable personal guard Song Hua.
"Report, there's an urgent message from the Zhiling Council." Just then, a subordinate's voice came from outside the door.
The Council?
Draconis, who was resting with his eyes closed, didn't open his eyes when he heard this name, but his mind wandered for a moment. Although the Council Supervisory Board had branches in all the districts of the Dark Army except the Gorge Peak District, it didn't have any relationship with the City Lord's Manors, which were in charge of the military and politics of the districts. Instead, it answered directly to the Council Supervisory Board and was a rather independent organization. Apart from some troublesome matters, they usually didn't communicate with the City Lord's Residence. Therefore, when the Council came looking for them, it was usually important but troublesome matters.
Draconis shifted slightly on his wide dragon cloud chair. He didn't say anything, but Song Hua, who was standing beside him, immediately walked towards the door.
"What's the matter?" Song Hua, who walked to the door, opened the door a little and asked softly.
The reply was also very soft. Draconis didn't use his soul power to listen and just waited quietly.
The door was quickly closed again and Song Hua quickly walked back. Draconis finally opened his eyes. He saw a trace of excitement on Song Hua's face.
"City Lord, the Council found the whereabouts of Lu Ping and the others," Song Hua said.
"Oh?" Draconis's eyes lit up. He immediately understood why Song Hua looked a little excited. Lu Ping and the others could be said to be the most wanted criminals since the founding of the Dark Army Empire. It would be a great achievement to be able to kill or arrest them. It was naturally a happy thing to have such delicious meat delivered to their doorstep, but …
"The Council didn't do anything?" Draconis asked.
"The Council said they weren't strong enough," Song Hua said.
"Not strong enough?" Draconis was stunned. The Zhiling Institute's supervisory board was no longer what it used to be. How could they say that they were not strong enough when facing those people? One must know that one of the main reasons why these people were so popular was because of their mediocre strength. A few brats and Chu Min, who was only at the Connected Three Spirits Realm, were nothing. But the Zhiling Institute's supervisory board actually said that they weren't strong enough?
Draconis straightened his body, and his expression became much more serious. "Call the people from the Academy Supervision Commission. I will ask them personally."
"Yes." Song Hua turned around and left.
Not strong enough?
Draconis pondered, and the heroic figure of Chu Min from more than 20 years ago appeared in his mind.
That prodigy, had he finally returned? Draconis thought as he looked out of the window. The drizzle that had been falling for a long time had stopped.
The inspector who had come to deliver the letter was quickly brought to Long Xing's study. He told Long Xing about how Lu Ping and his two companions had intruded into the Zhiling Institute's Supervisory Board to look for Su Tang. He didn't hide anything.
Draconis did not say a word and patiently listened to the last word.
"So, what does Feng Xingye want us to do?" He asked. He called Feng Xingye by his name, and the inspector was clearly stunned. He was stunned for a moment before he said, "The President did not say anything. He only asked me to report this to the Mayor's Residence."
"Alright, you may leave." Draconis nodded.
The inspector left. Draconis pondered for a moment and suddenly asked, "What do you think?"
Song Hua, who was always by his side, seemed to know that Draconis would ask this question. He immediately answered, "The Council should be doing official business."
Draconis nodded. The independent Council Supervisory Commission would not share such a great merit with the Master of the City unless it was absolutely necessary. Now it seemed that they really could not deal with those people, but it was not good to hide the clues of the wanted criminals, so they came to inform the Mayor's Residence.
"But whether they are still in Zhiling City is another matter," Draconis said. The Council did not hide the clues, but they would not expect the Mayor's Residence to take such a great merit. Draconis felt that it was very possible that they would deliberately delay the investigation.
"I have already sent people to investigate. I believe there will be clues soon," Song Hua said.
"Very good." Draconis nodded. Although the Council was not under his jurisdiction, Zhiling City was the core of his rule. His influence, informants, and intelligence network in the city were not on the same level as the Council. With a deliberate search, he believed that there would soon be many clues.
Just as the two finished speaking, there was a knock on the door. Song Hua quickly walked over and quickly turned back. This time, his face was full of confusion and confusion.
"Speak." Draconis looked at him. He knew that the news had arrived. Song Hua must have sent people to investigate the moment he heard the Council's report. The search would have been completed by the time Draconis asked about it. But looking at Song Hua's current expression, this news seemed a little strange.
"They are still in Zhiling City," Song Hua said.
"Oh? What are they doing? "Draconis asked.
"Eating … noodles." Song Hua looked like he had seen a ghost, but he was sure that he had not heard a word wrong. Xuan Jun was a wanted criminal of the Empire for over a year. At this moment, he was eating noodles at a breakfast stall on a street not far from the Academy's Supervisory Board. Five people, five bowls of hot noodle soup. Even this was seen clearly by the secret agents. It was obvious how undisguised and fearless they were.
"Eating noodles? Hahaha, that's what she would do! "Draconis laughed out loud when he heard the answer, but he quickly hid his smile and stood up.
"Gather people, let's go," Draconis said.
"Call Team One?" Song Hua asked. Of the guards in Zhiling City, Team One was directly led by Draconis. They were the most trusted and naturally the strongest. Now, to deal with a group of opponents that even the Zhiling Institute's supervisory board was helpless against, Song Hua estimated that he would need a team, or even two more teams.
"No." Draconis shook his head. "Call Team Dragon."
Team Dragon!
Song Hua's expression changed. This Team Dragon did not belong to any of the guard teams. They were not even in the official ranks of the City Lord Office. There was only one reason why they would be part of this team: they were strong enough. As long as they were strong enough, Draconis dared to use them, no matter where they came from or what their background was. Just like that, he gathered all kinds of strong people and formed this Team Dragon. Song Hua had been by Long Xing's side for six years and eight months. It was only in the second year that he learned of the existence of the Dragon Group. In the following five years and eight months, the Dragon Group had only been deployed three times.
Unless absolutely necessary, Draconis would not use this team easily. They were strong, but also troublesome. They were not like normal subordinates who would listen to Draconis. They only had an agreement with Draconis, or rather, a promise.
And this time, they had to use Team Dragon? Song Hua was slightly shocked, but he quickly composed himself.
"How many should we call?" Song Hua asked.
"As many as we can," Draconis said. He had an agreement with the strong people in Team Dragon, but these strong people had their own difficulties to accept his agreement. Even he did not dare to guarantee how many people he could deploy.
