Chapter 192 Lord
In some corner of Pearl City.
In a house under a bridge, loud voices of a man and a woman shouting at each other, arguing about things could be heard.
"This is all because of you! My life got ruined because I decided to be with a man like you!"
Said the woman who appeared to be in her late thirties.
At her words, the man snapped, "Is that what you think, Josephine?"
"Is ruining your life the only thing that I did to you?!"
Immediately, the woman loudly said, "Yes, you're the only reason why I'm living in a sh*thole like this!"
Filled with shame and anger, the man suddenly flipped the nearby old table and yelled fiercely,
"If that's the case, then go! Since that's what you think anyway, leave this sh*thole and find a place of your own!"
In response, the woman said, "Even if you don't tell me, I will leave this disgusting place on my own!"
After saying that, the woman started packing her things, putting them in a travel bag without hesitation.
As for the man, he sat there, in silence, watching as all of this happens.
Finally, when the woman finished packing her things, she looked at the man with menacing eyes without saying a word.
Then, she started walking, heading towards the door.
But suddenly, something hit the back of the woman's head.
Boom!
"Ahhh!"
The woman fell down and screamed in pain.
...
Raven's Manor.
Entering the house, Kris has a thoughtful expression on her face.
'I wonder what they are hiding.'
Until now, Kris is still stuck wondering about Alex's words earlier.
Her curiosity doesn't let her mind rest for even a second.
At this time, she is walking in the hallway, planning to go to her room.
Then suddenly, Kris saw her father
...
"Are you doing a face exercise? Your face keeps changing every second."
Hearing Alex's voice, Paula opened her eyes and looked at Alex.
"Did you just say something?"
Since she was deep in her own thoughts, she didn't really hear what he said.
With a smile on his face, Alex repeated, "I was asking if you are doing some sort of face exercise."
"Face exercise?" Paula said, feeling confused at Alex's words.
Hearing that, Alex's curiosity heightened.
Seeing that, Paula raised the cup in her hand slightly and continued, "Inside this cup, there is a very precious material that could only be obtained from the body of dragons."
"However, not every dragon has this in them. Only a few pureblood dragons possess this."
"This is... Pureblood Dragon's Essence Blood."
When she said that, Paula moved the cup closer to Alex to let him see it.
Peeking inside the cup, Alex saw glowing golden blood, full of magnificence that couldn't even be explained with words.
The golden blood possesses brilliance that looks more precious than any gem to exist!
Alex stared at it for a while with fascinated eyes before he snapped out of it.
Then he lifted his eyes and looked at Paula with serious eyes.
"What's this got to do with the thing that you want me to do?" Alex said, pointing at the golden cup in Paula's hand.
Paula moved closer to Alex and stared directly into his eyes before saying, "What you have to do is just drink this. Just that simple."
Alex didn't just naively agree after hearing that.
Instead, he frowned and said, "Explain."
Alex's Charisma seems to burst out all of a sudden when he said that one word.
Originally, Paula wasn't that affected by Alex's charisma because she's also a charismatic person.
But now, Paula can't help but feel the authority behind Alex's words when he speaks.
Affected by it, Paula opened her mouth and started talking.
"The reason why we want you to drink this is to let you acquire a certain dragon skill that we need."
"Dragon's skill?" Alex repeated with a frown.
Paula nodded, "It is a dragon's skill that we are in dire need of right now."
Alex went silent at this time.
Currently, Alex is thinking about this deal more rationally.
On the other hand, Paula sat there while looking at Alex, anxiously waiting for him to say something.
After a while, Alex raised his head and looked at Paula with a serious face.
He said, "From what I heard so far, this deal will do nothing but benefit me, which seems like an unusual deal."
"So, tell me, why do you need me, someone who now possesses a dragon's skill, to be the one to take this golden blood?"
Sighing, Paula replied, "It's because as someone who already managed to acquire a dragon's skill by eating its meat, the chance of you surviving and gaining the skill after taking this Dragon's blood is higher..."
A deep frown can't help but appear on Alex's face at this time after hearing what Paula just said.
"Wait, did I hear you wrong or did you really just mention something about 'survival' after taking that golden blood?"
Once again, Paula let out a sigh before suddenly pushing the golden cup to Alex, saying, "If you have a appraisal skill of some sort, you can look at the details of this first. It will be easier for you to understand what I mean."
Staring at her for a few seconds, Alex turned his gaze at the golden blood and used [Inspect] without hesitation.
The next second, Alex's eyes widened!
