Tales Of The Mighty Dragonair

Chapter 397 - An Interrogation

When the two reached Arthur's mansion, they found Arthur's team so worriedly waiting for his return.

"Clan master!"

"Clan head!"

"Willy!"

"Lord!"

"Master!"

Suddenly everyone shouted when they saw him, and he felt some warmth deep down his soul. "Everyone is alright?" he asked when they all gathered around him, eyeing him with worry and eyeing Amanda with caution.

"You do a lot of things inside that world, sneaky little disciples, hahaha!" Amanda suddenly spoke about their doing back in the city world, which made everyone, even Tina, glance at him in doubt and question.

They didn't respond to her indirect question, and he only shrugged before saying: "She knows."

"Knows what?" Tina asked in an aggressive tone, as she wasn't like most of the team here; she only saw Amanda lying helplessly at the bed.

"Everything I assume," Amanda was the one to answer her before she gave Tina a deep glance. "You are his pet or his follower?"

"I'm his girl! What about you? Who are you? What are you to him?!"

"That's… a lot of questions, hehehe," Amanda laughed while leading Arthur into his mansion. "What a nice tree you have here," she winked to him and he only sighed.

"Why are you acting like my woman?" he muttered softly while watching everyone leave, leaving him inside a room with her while Tina stayed on the distance eyeing her with vigilance.

"It looks fun," she laughed.

"Teasing a little dragon like Tina, she is pure hearted one."

"She is little? C'mon, I bet she is a thousand years old!"

"What?!!" Arthur was speechless for a moment before adding, "perhaps you are right, but to me she is a little girl."

"Anyway," she turned her gaze away from Tina, yet the latter didn't, "tell me everything about that city of yours."

"My city?" Arthur feigned ignorance, "what about it?"

"It's not… normal at all!" she struggled for a moment there, "If you aimed for something prestigious, then you could have built a grand clan, or even an academy. But this… it's weird!"

He smiled while saying, "I don't think it's weird, and who told you I won't have a clan and an academy there?"

"With those high and intimidating walls? Plus I smelled the aura of pillars there. The aura seemed strange, not too dark like they were purified."

She paused while gazing deeply at him. "How can you purify such a grand wall and make pillars integrated into it? Or was it initially a group of pillars and you modified them somehow?"

Her questions made Arthur surprised. 'Indeed, a strong person will have a bright mind and vast experience,' he said to himself.

And she kept her silence while waiting for his response.

"Well," he cleared his throat, "I can't really tell you."

"C'mon!" she shouted at him, making even the distant Tina restless and nervous. "You have to give me something in return for saving your life!"

"And I saved yours!"

"First not alone, second I also worked with you on the side, third and foremost important of all; if you don't show me enough gratitude this moment, I won't step out of my way and help you ever again!"

He didn't know if she was just throwing empty threats at him or being serious, but he had to admit to himself; he needed her support especially when there were other players on the stage!

"Do you know of an academy called Oblack?" he suddenly asked, trying to give her some info away from his own secrets.

"Sure, I fought that man from such an academy. Give me something I don't know!"

"Like what?" he smiled, as he sensed she had something in mind related to that academy issue.

"Like… why was he so deadly set on killing you?" she glanced at him before adding, "I first came to your city and took some time to scout it, then when I got bored and didn't see you appearing there I started to look for you. I saw you flying in the sky trying to reach another place, and strangely you did!"

She narrated what she experienced in the city world before adding, "so, I didn't see anything away from you killing more of the enemies and doing some weird tricks. Nothing to make such a person so mad at you, plus…"

She paused while her face got serious, "what made such a master from an infamous dark academy to come all the way here in the first place?"

He smiled before calmly replying: "Am I being interrogated?"

"Well," she shrugged, "you can say clearly with no worry that you aren't," she paused while her face reclaimed its former seriousness, "but for me you have to answer my questions and relieve all the doubts or else…"

He sighed, "Don't act strong and aggressive with me," he said while his face turned evil, "I love bad girls."

"More reasons for me to act this way," she laughed while winking at him. "C'mon, give me some answers."

"Tsk, can't you settle with no answer?"

"Never!"

"Will you leave me alone after hearing the answer to this question?"

"What? Getting bored of me already? I promise I will make you amused all the time," she laughed while giving Tina a short glance, "so, what is your answer, bad boy?"

Arthur took a deep breath before pointing to his body, "Can't see I'm wounded and exhausted?"

"I know better than anyone else how tricky you are! Don't think I will settle with this as an answer, give me the answer or else I will go to Mr. E and open a formal investigation if you want."

"Tsk, why do you have such a fiery temper?"

"Why do you act so cold and insensitive?"

He sighed as she was really stubborn about this point. He knew she wouldn't let him free without leaking some of his secrets. "Alright, I will tell you about the reason this dark academy master was here."

"As a start I can't refuse this," she said before returning her back to the seat as she amusingly added, "but don't mistook me as a fool girl like that silly dragon over there. I will gladly accept this appetizer and wait for the main dish after."

"Sigh," he shook his head while saying, "just hear me and you will know how big this info is."

"I'm all ears."
