Chapter 1645 Scheme [2]

Chapter 1645 Scheme [2]

August pretty much knew what he was looking for. All he needed to do was confirm.

'Unfortunately, I'm still weak.'

He couldn't do it on his own. He was talented, sure, but he was not yet powerful.

He and those around him could not stand against those who could actually move the world.

'If Dad were to fight against any of them, they'd all lose faith in their talent.'

That was the disparity between them and the true experts.

'Speaking of Dad...'

August's eyes brightened.

'...he can definitely help with this.'

His father could do anything. They'd been apart for only a week and a few days, but August had already experienced so much.

He saw Damien in the crowd when the battle ended. Knowing him, he was probably waiting for August to find him.

'But he won't just be part of the crowd.'

August changed his mind.

"I have to go," he said to the two girls nearby.

"Where to?" Valerie responded.

"Ah, I'm going to find my dad," August replied.

"Your dad...? As in...ah, can I come too?"

Valerie's eyes were practically shining.

Damien was someone she'd heard many stories about in recent times. From what her grandpa told her, he was a man whose existence was unreasonable even by dragon standards.

She wanted to meet such a being. She was practically begging with her eyes as she stared at him.

"I don't mind," he said with a smile.

"Why don't both of you come?"

"Me too?" Melania asked.

"Of course. Why not?"

August wanted his dad to meet his new friends.

More importantly, he wanted Valerie and Melania to get acquainted.

They had exchanged greetings a bit ago, but that was about it. Their only connection was August, after all.

If the two of them were going to be his companions from now on, then they would have to learn to like each other.

Perhaps having them spend time together would make them closer?

That was August's train of thought. Diiscover new stories at novelhall.com

Even taking the current situation into account, August was absolutely correct.

Damien had indeed hidden himself in the city and made it harder than ever to find him.

He had already learned that there was a problem with the emblems.

Hell, he had already dissected the problem and unveiled the entire plot behind it.

If it was August, even a place like this wouldn't be able to stump him.

'Anyway, while I wait...'

The problem with the emblems was one of many things Damien uncovered as he journeyed through Arulion to find the Dragon Emperor.

'It's been so long, but that still isn't done.'

Damien smiled wryly.

He thought it would be easy. With his current power, sensing the locations and entrances of the Holy Clan hidden territories was light work. He could infiltrate any of them if he so pleased.

However, he couldn't find anything at all that led to the Dragon Emperor.

'At first, I thought he was a fake.'

For a second, Damien even believed that the Dragon Emperor was a being that the Holy Clans simply made up to keep their power solid and support their agendas.

'But he definitely exists. The problem is...I think he ended up in a situation similar to Qinglong.'

From what Damien could tell, the Dragon Emperor was basically being used as a puppet by the Holy Clans.

Still, he was trying his best to maintain his influence.

His people had revealed themselves when the heir wars began, surprising and confusing the Holy Clans.

They were put into a situation where they couldn't act against him because his role in society had become absolutely vital.

They couldn't touch the heir wars process either since they were bound by their blood.

The sacred tradition of the Kingdom of Dragons couldn't be interrupted or interfered with by anyone except the Dragon Emperor himself.

No dragon could disobey that rule.

The Dragon Emperor was hidden somewhere in Arulion.

And while Damien took a break to attend August's big event, his clone continued to search unceasingly for clues.

'I guess this isn't the only game of hide and seek going on.'

The Dragon Emperor was doing to Damien exactly what he was doing to August.

It was a bit of a funny comparison.

'Still, if my son can find me against all odds...'

...then he could find the Dragon Emperor.

Was it logical? Not quite.

But, was it true?

Well...
