Chapter 308 Leaked



The Dragon Queen's face darkened at the servant's pleading and questioned while standing up dominantly, "What do you do?!"

It sent such a shock through the servant's body that she began to tremble and momentarily pressed her forehead against the floor. She tried to speak but she couldn't even form a single sentence.

"That's not how you should ask if you want any information out of them," Xuefeng pointed out as he stood up and crouched in front of the servant girl. The innocent sister looked at him in fear as if he was about to hurt them but Xuefeng simply patted the suspect on the head.

"Don't worry, she won't hurt you. Sit up and talk with us," Xuefeng assured softly while brushing her hair. "You still have a chance to redeem yourself. We don't want to kill you."

The servant girl finally looked up and Xuefeng caressed her cheek to calm her down. She was still in shock so he turned to her sister. "Can you tell me who she contacted?"

"I..." The suspect's sister stuttered as she looked up at the dominant Dragon Queen. It was clear their Dragon Bloodline was being pressured by the Queen which didn't help at all.

Xuefeng didn't waste time talking to her and instead canceled the pressure with his own Bloodline which forced the Dragon Queen to back out. The servant girls instantly eased up as if he just took away tons of weight from their back.

"You can speak now. You are bound to lose your job anyway but if we can stop whoever you contacted, you can at least save your life," Xuefeng explained.

"She... She doesn't know what I do. I always kept her out to protect her," the servant girl muttered before admitting, "Whenever I hear or see something worth reporting, I contact my partner and he then proceeds to sell the news to his contacts. It usually takes him an hour or two so I'm sure I can still stop him. Let me call him."

"What news are you talking about?" the Dragon Queen questioned with squinted eyes and pointed at Xuefeng. "Is it that you saw me in a private room while that man was naked?"

The servant girl gulped and nodded, causing the Dragon Queen to roll her eyes. "Do you realize how bad it might sound without any context? I was literally checking his physique because I wanted to recruit him. He has a pure Dragon Bloodline and could be a great addition to our Dragon Race."

The servant sisters paled at that fact while the Young Dragon nodded in understanding after the initial shock. Xuefeng could only praise the Dragon Queen for twisting the facts so easily since he couldn't have done it better.

"If the information was already spread, we wouldn't be able to stop it anyway," Xuefeng replied with a shrug. "If that happens, we will just face them all together. It's not that big of a deal."

"Huh? I wonder where you get that confidence from when you can't even defeat me," the Dragon Queen asked in stress. "On the other hand, I can only defeat three of my Elders at the same time. If all of them grouped up, we won't stand a chance. We can only fight them solo for an easy kill."

Xuefeng only smirked. "You said they don't really like each other, right? Sometimes strength is not the only factor that will help you win. I wouldn't reach where I am if I only relied my strength."

Thunder Goddess knew very well what he meant and could only sigh. She was one of his opponents that totally overpowered him in raw power yet she still lost thanks to Emi's help.

"Let's hope that won't be necessary..." the Dragon Queen muttered and finished the discussion by speeding up.

———

While they were heading to the special temple, the ten Elders gathered together were growing impatient. It was mainly due to one member constantly yapping negatively.

"Can you already shut up? All your words are useless before the Queen returns," One of the neutral Elders spoke annoyed.

"Fine, fine, I will shut up for now but you will soon find out that the Queen doesn't know what she is doing. I'm telling you all, she will get all of us killed," the youngest Elder spoke as he finally sat down. The silence filled the hall until the black-horned Elder's expression changed.

"News about the Queen?" he muttered casually as he pulled out a Communication Crystal and everyone turned to him. The crystal momentarily lit up and he let the message play out.

"Sir! I got special news for you involving the Queen! It comes from the restaurant my partner works at and she saw the Queen have a private meeting with a rumored man that killed the City Lord. She was shocked to see him fully naked when the Queen left and they were both smiling at each other. I think that information is worth a nice reward, what do you think?"

When the message ended, all seven neutral Elders darkened while the youngest Elder was ecstatic.

"What did I fucking tell you?!"
