CHAPTER 452: CHAPTER 268: 103_3

It was unclear whether it was because Dragon Dad had "called" out to her too many times, but Dragon Mother Pafila’s voice—who, unbeknownst to them, had been forced to eavesdrop for quite some time—suddenly erupted in the minds of the father and son:

"But, as I recall, after getting into the mood, you seemed to enjoy yourself quite a bit, didn’t you?"

"...Well... that... Can you blame me for that? Anyone in the prime of their youth, suddenly encountering a stunningly beautiful and voluptuous older woman making the first move on them for the very first time, wouldn’t they be dazed for quite a while? Besides, I had only just entered my adolescent phase back then, alright? No matter how wonderful something is, it becomes torture if it goes on for too long. It was only thanks to my good constitution; otherwise, it’s debatable whether I would have even survived that time..." At this point, Attilicia’s face was full of deep grievance.

"Mm, I’ll be more careful next time."

"???" David, at the side, was already holding his head with his claws, his face a picture of ’what the fuck.’ Is this something a Dragon cub like me should be hearing? Can’t you two show off your love without dragging me into your group chat too?!

Fortunately, Dragon Mother seemed to realize this too. She cut off the faith link without another word, apparently busy with her own affairs.

Attilicia, however, acted as if nothing had happened. There was even a hint of smugness and a desire to show off in his eyes, though the smile quickly faded from his face.

"You’ve probably heard most of what happened after that. In the end, I never received the rescue I hoped for from those old fogeys. The only ones who came to my aid were a group of my friends, and Pafila caught them all. Ultimately, it was my parents who managed to scrape together the funds to pay an exorbitant price to ransom us out. That marked the beginning of a half-century of repaying debt.

"Do you think, after experiencing all of that, I could still hold any Hope for those old relics on Dragon Island?

"Those damned Elves! If I had just been given two more years, once I achieved Legendary status, the first thing I would have done upon returning to Dragon Island would be to drag those corpse-like old bastards from their moss-covered Elder Council’s round table and shatter their so-called traditions and prestige into pieces!"

But in the end, none of this could come to pass as the Dragon wished.

Saying this, Dragon Dad heaved a long sigh.

"So, if it’s at all possible, I really don’t want to go back to Dragon Island right now. That place, though peaceful, suffocates me. Especially when I think about how Satilaesa’s three children might suffer from scorn and bullying because of this... I just... I just..."

Who would have known that after hearing all this, David would abruptly ask a question:

"How much money have you saved up now?"

"Uh... including this quarter’s earnings from Barto Hell, the disposable cash flow is probably around one hundred and fifty thousand pounds or so."

Even though he had been mentally prepared, David was still astounded by this astronomical figure.

You have to understand, Dragon Dad had saved for the better part of his life and had only managed to amass about sixty thousand pounds worth of treasure. At the rates back then, that was already enough to rival the wealth of a nation; on Blue Star, it would roughly translate to tens of billions. Now, in just a few short years, having started again from nothing, he had amassed a fortune that had more than doubled his previous one.

"Then the younger generation of Dragons is no longer an obstacle for us."

Young Dragons? Just shower them with money. Guaranteed, every single one you hit with it will shut up.

"So, how long can this device run stably now?" David jerked his chin towards the Tokamak device in front of them.

"About 103 seconds," Attilicia replied.

"That’s enough. We’ll leave a Teleportation Gate here and go to Wallens to pick up the kids," David said, a satisfied smile spreading across his face.

A 103-second ’Legendary Critical’ state with ’infinite firepower.’

Combined with his Seven Sins Authority.

That was enough for him to subdue anything.
