Chapter 112: Gaslighting (Bonus)

It didn't take too long for Alavenya's team to reach Nathan's location. They had been searching for quite a while, so they looked distressed a lot, especially Mando.

It seemed Mando was the one who had been complaining the whole time.

Of course, they were shocked to find Fenrir and Anubis. They had heard a rumor about a summoner having beasts as his familiars, but it turned out Nathan was the person in the rumor.

Mando's face turned pale as he realized the true value of this summoner called Nathan. And not only Alavenya had disrespected him by shoving him to the students from the Retishia Academy, but they were also in this much danger.

"Are you alright?" Mando hurriedly checked their conditions. "We'll bring you to the doctor and get your wounds healed right away!"

Nathan grabbed Mando's head to show his displeasure. He shook his head while saying in a disappointed tone, "We don't need it."

"But your injuries..." Mando was terrified. If this matter was heard by both the Frexia Academy and the Dragon King, it would cause a huge problem. After all, the one who recommended Nathan and Selena was the Dragon King, which meant the one responsible for sending them here was the principal of the Frexia Academy, the man known as the Sage."

Nathan stood up, his feet shaking as if he were enduring the pain. "Since you are here, the mature class alien must have been taken down, so we'll just take our leave. To think that the Chaotic Cat organization would come..."

"What?! Chaotic Cat?" Mando gasped.

Alavenya looked shocked as well. It was a famous organization because their aims were to kidnap talented summoners. A lot of people had been coming to recruit her, so she thought the Chaotic Cat came for her.

If they failed to subjugate the mature class alien, these terrorists would create an opportunity for them to capture her.

Even if their aims were not her but Nathan because of his unique familiars, it didn't change the fact that it was their fault to let such an organization come close.

It was her negligence that caused this situation. If Nathan wasn't here and the Chaotic Cat still attacked them, the raid would fail and hundreds of soldiers would die.

Little did he know, Nathan was actually smiling.

"Dear students! Respected students!" Mando caught up to them while saying out loud, "Please. Let me bring you back to the camp so that we can treat you. I'll reprimand the young miss, so please—!"

Mando suddenly stopped talking when he saw Nathan having a hard time containing his smile. "Eh?"

Nathan chuckled. "Do you think I'm mad for real?"

"Eh?" Mando's heart sank. Their wounds were gradually disappearing, causing Mando to shift his gaze to Anubis. It turned out they could heal themselves this whole time, but why didn't they do it before? The answer was simple.

Nathan said, "Well, her father wants me to recruit her in exchange for the dragon blood, so yeah... I just do it."

Mando dropped his jaw. "But if you were trying to recruit her, wouldn't it be bad to humiliate her like that? Even I would be angry if you humiliated them for no reason..."

"We have received permission from the Dragon King. He allows me to do anything I want as long as I can recruit her to the academy, so please don't get angry because my plan is not over yet.

"Hahaha. Still, gaslighting is truly the best. It's perfect for someone like her who has been chasing away others because she is freaking talented.

"And I know you don't like this, but I will have to request something from you even if I need to ask it in the name of the Dragon King. I need you to do something."

"What?" Mando's eyebrows twitched. These two students were much bolder than he originally thought. And to think that the Dragon King would give them permission. "You... You... What are you trying to do?"

Nathan smirked. "Scamming the Dragon King."
