Tales Of The Mighty Dragonair

Chapter 539 - Let's Ask Them To Come

Arthur kept himself in this state for the entire day. When Doaf returned again, he found him sitting in his place while his eyes were shining from time to time, pulsating with blue light.

"Are you alright?" he asked as he moved to check upon him.

"I'm good," Arthur was distracted from his state of deep thought. "Tell me, have you found anything useful?"

"My men managed to determine two races who aren't enemies with my grandmaster or clan," Doaf said before adding, "but the remaining two towers had such tight security that we couldn't penetrate them at all."

"So things were down to only two towers," Arthur smiled before adding, "can we negotiate with the other two then?"

"I've already sent messages to the two towers, asking for them to send envoys to here."

"Perfect," Arthur smiled before adding, "I want you to be ready to fight with me inside that mountain."

"Is this… permitted?" Doaf was surprised before adding, "I think those in the academy won't agree on such a thing."

"Let them be," Arthur simply shrugged, "they decided to stand on the opposite side and it happens that I needed to destroy one big force to demonstrate my real power in this world."

Doaf glanced suspiciously towards him before asking, "may I hear out your plan?"

"Not now," Arthur sighed, "you'll know it just in time."

Doaf was still skeptical but suddenly his face changed.

'Ding! There are a group of strong individuals coming towards here,' the system suddenly warned.

'Great, the two towers move fast,' Arthur smiled but the next response of the system startled him.

'Ding! There are teams coming from each tower, not only two but five!'

Arthur heard the words of his system and instantly turned to glare at Doaf. Doaf seemed to receive the same message as his face changed.

"Sorry young master," he apologized, "it seems the news spread and the other towers appeared as well."

"Sigh," Arthur shook his head before adding, "no problem, but I need you to be alert. If I called someone as my dear friend you know he is our enemy. If I called someone as being just a business partner then I might consider him being on our side."

"And those who are on our side?" Doaf said.

"C'mon, we have already one tower that's against us and two that's with us. Only this applies to the last two, alright?"

Doaf nodded before he asked, "where do you want to meet them? Here?"

Arthur glanced around before deciding, "not bad actually. Send them all up."

"Alright," Doaf moved before pausing at the door, "I'll send for all my men to surround the room first. We need to properly secure you."

"Do as you see fit," Arthur simply waved his hand as he wasn't interested in this.

His enemies already had their trap ready and they were so much sure about the success of it. all they needed to be sure of was that he didn't run away and take part in the competition, even if using force and threats to make that happen.

And Arthur knew maintaining such an image was for the best for him. He wanted to make them deeply intoxicated in their confidence to crush him and not be slightly alerted by any other possibilities.

Like the one scenario when he would come to their throats and slain them all in retaliation.

He sat leisurely on his seat while giving around orders.

'I want to scan every single one of them and try to make a rough assessment of their powers,' he said before adding, 'I also want in the middle of the meeting to make my ring shine.'

'Ding! Your ring?' the system asked.

'I can do that for you,' the golden dragon muttered before adding, 'but what for?'

'Just trying to deceive them,' he simply said before adding, 'this is a very important thing. Don't miss your timing.'

'Don't worry,' the golden dragon said.

'Also I want to take a pillar out when the ring shines,' he said after a moment of thought.

'One pillar?' Gege asked.

'Yeah, the one linked to my godfather,' he said before adding, 'coordinate with the golden dragon. I need the timing of both the shining of the ring and the appearance of the pillar to be perfect.'

'Ding! I think you should give them a signal to do so then,' the system suggested.

'Fair enough,' Arthur muttered before adding, 'when I say I'll take the pillar out, then you can both move.'

'But under what reason will you bring the pillar out? And for what?' The golden dragon was still skeptical about such a move.

'Didn't he say it's for the deception plan of his?' Gege was the only one who could actually read his mind. 'Just trust him and do as he says.'

'…'

'…'

The system and his golden dragon didn't respond while he waited calmly until Doaf appeared again.

This time he was surrounded by a group of his men, leading a group of strong looking people inside the room.

And one of them was known for Arthur. Arthur just nodded in salute while they entered his room one small group after another.

"I never thought the weakling from the nameless academy in the wilderness will create such ruckus already," Ralin laughed while glancing at others around him as if he just cracked a joke.

"If you think you come to a circus then turn around and leave. I'm not interested in negotiating terms with morons or foul mouthed people," but the swift answer that came from Arthur made him and everyone here be startled.

"Kid, don't cross your boundaries," Ralin glared back as he threatened.

"Or what?" Arthur sneered before glancing at Doaf as he added, "take this one out. I'm not interested in speaking to those who don't appreciate my art."

"You…" Ralin's face changed as he came here to do a specific task for his master.. He didn't come for the pills, despite being a great thing, but he had another mission far away from obtaining the pills.
