Chapter 628: Chapter 628

Du You was unaware that any plots were forming against him. After finishing his cleaning tasks at home and taking care of some personal matters, he decided to take a two-day rest before his planned trip to the Other World during his vacation.

Considering the extent of development he had achieved in his domain, it was almost time to upgrade its level.

However, Du You’s plan was interrupted when a piece of news reached him on a day just before his entry.

At the main entrance of his house, the elderly gatekeeper was talking to a middle-aged man. "Hey, have you heard? There’s a Sub-Dragon in our vicinity," the middle-aged man murmured.

"Hmm, it has been quite a while since that happened. I remember it was over a week ago and it’s already old news. Why are you still talking about it? It’s just a Sub-Dragon. Unless it comes onto your doorstep, you wouldn’t dare to kill it, right?"

"Me kill a Sub-Dragon? Of course not! They say this Sub-Dragon is really powerful, it’s a Mutated King of third tier. No one in our city can handle it. Unless the master of our city leads a major force to eliminate it, which will attract the attention of other Alien beasts and organizations. By then, our city would be in trouble."

"Then why are you telling me all this again? Over the past week, many people have gone to face it, including some from large families. Yet guess what, only a few of them returned," the gatekeeper retorted.

This incident was well known to the old gatekeeper.

Due to the massive spread of the incident, it was known by almost everyone. However, as the incident did not directly affect people’s daily lives, most of them had already forgotten about it a week later.

If it were not for the middle-aged man bringing up the incident again, the old gatekeeper would likely not have thought of it for a long time.

Du You quickly approached and questioned, "Old man, is it true that there’s a third-tier Sub-Dragon, a Mutated King no less, in our area?"

"Yes, it’s true. This news has spread across the city. Oh! It’s Du You! What brings you back? I thought you were at Capital University. Oh my, I forgot that you are on holiday."

Du You nodded, "That’s right, we’re on vacation. But about the Sub-Dragon, will it pose a threat to our city’s safety?"

"Don’t worry about that. I heard the Sub-Dragon flew from a rather dangerous region, and it seemed to have had a fierce fight with something as it is currently injured. It ended up here with its wings damaged and can’t fly away. I guess it’s just healing its wounds here and will fly away once it recovers. It definitely won’t cause any harm to our city."

"Yeah, our city’s defenses are too strong for it. If only it dared to come closer, we could have gained some Sub-Dragon materials." The middle-aged man chimed in.

Only then did Du You recognize the man; he seemed to be a resident here, but one that hadn’t been seen for years.

"These two must be your girlfriends, right? Attending Capital University sure has its perks as it brings you pretty girls. You have two of them!" The old man noticed Lin Yucha and Lin Yushi, who were standing behind Du You, and started to tease him. Feeling slightly awkward, Du You wasn’t used to such comments especially from acquaintances.

Nevertheless, this world had its own unique rules. With a strong status comes great benefits. The concept of monogamy didn’t really exist. As long as one had enough power, having multiple partners was considered completely acceptable. Many powerful female Professionals even had numerous male partners, which wasn’t unusual either.

"By the way, where exactly is that Sub-Dragon? Should I need to avoid the location?" Du You inquired.

"Oh, the Sub-Dragon is right there, in the ravine below Mountain No.3. I have no idea how it managed to find the spot, it has completely blocked our way into the mountains."

Du You nodded, said a few words, bid farewell to the old gatekeeper, and then left the residential area.

"Master, should we consider hunting that Sub-Dragon?" Lin Yucha whispered to Du You in a low voice.

"Of course. We can’t miss this opportunity, it only has the combat power of a level 9 in the third tier. Even if it was at level 30, we still have a chance of winning. Moreover, it is injured."

Du You was adventurous due to his artistic prowess, and the two sisters did not object either. At level 23, they had a strong chance against a level 30 being, not to mention that it was a wild one. Thıs content belongs to 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝⚑𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖⚑𝕟𝕖𝕥

Earth didn’t possess a structured Dragon Clan heritage system. Even if the opponent was a Sub-Dragon, it was unlikely to possess many powerful abilities. It would be the same as battling an ordinary wild Magical Beast, which wouldn’t exhibit much of its potential strength.

As long as it met their requirements, Du You desired to fill up the Celestial Star Bottle. Thus, one of the two sisters would have an increase in her star level. As for the other one, they would continue to scout in the Capital.

Although Celestial Star Bottles were rare, they could still be found in a place like the Capital if they looked carefully.

If that didn’t work out, they could go to the Black Market and put up a bounty to collect the necessary quantity.

Without confiding in anyone, the trio concealed their identities and took an driverless car towards the outskirts of the city. After verifying their identities, they jumped out of the city wall and departed.

It was Du You’s second experience in the wilderness. Unbeknownst to Du You, the middle-aged man had left the residential area just after they did, and appeared somewhere else.

"How’s it going? Has he made a move? Alright, I got it." Lin Feng hung up his communicator and said to Li Sanyuan, "Mayor uncle, our plan has succeeded. That kid is now heading towards the destination. We can start preparing."

Li Sanyuan nodded, "Excellent. Your Lin Family is indeed reliable. We cannot involve too many people in this operation. We’ll just say we are exterminating a group of evil people and can only bring a thousand men with us. This is quite a large operation in terms of resources."

"We’ll take full responsibility for expenditures, and we’ll also send over compensation," Lin Feng quickly replied.

"Very generous. Let’s go, we’ll depart immediately. There is no need to rush, we just need to follow them."

Due to the importance of the matter, Li Sanyuan, the mayor himself, led the operation personally. The forces moved calmly without alerting many people. Most of the city’s soldiers were oblivious to the mayor’s departure.

Thus, two groups of people, one in front of the other, headed towards the third mountain. Du You and the sisters were quickly traversing on foot, not using any transport. However, their speed was still fast.
