Sky-cracking Rider-Chapter 618: Section 614 - Brush Up 200 Pounds Again

Truth be told, when the Slan Royal Family issued the contract to Jiu Defense Company, Hanna Gagel didn't feel in the least bit flattered or surprised, not even when the ruler of Cangqiong Star had sent an order their way. What an honor it was—shouldn't Jiu Defense Company then take pride, give their all, and stake their future on it?!

But she remained calm from the beginning and did not let the commission cloud her judgment.

She knew very well what she could handle and what she couldn't.

In the circle of military contractors, Jiu Defense Company really wasn't any different from Xiao Jiu in the eyes of those higher-ranked Magical Beasts; they took on contracts with courage, not with assistance from their peers.

Having the "Genuine Fragrance" Combat Flight Squadron, which dared to fight and risk everything, was a given, but this status was earned with their lives. The big shots could easily crush Jiu Defense Company without breaking a sweat—the only reason they hadn't was that gems do not clash with bricks, after all, there was silver to be made, and they did not engage in unprofitable ventures.

Facing off against the industry giant Merman Brothers Consortium surely caused the latter great losses, nearly crippling them, forcing them to cut losses in time.

The single Aircrew Base standing against the titanic 911 Aircrew Base also didn't fare well in the end, with a camp full of wounded and the "Genuine Fragrance" squadron reduced in numbers. If it weren't for ripping a chunk of flesh from her old employer, the Apocalypse Defense Group, there probably wouldn't be a "later" at all.

Now that Jiu Defense Company had established a relationship with the Silan Royal Family, it was like walking a tightrope over an Abyss—a single misstep, and they'd be beyond redemption.

After accepting the commission, Boss Hanna had always been worried that Chen Fei might suddenly think he was capable enough to play the big shot and, wanting to be some sort of valorous servant to the dragons, end up being used by others.

The struggle for the throne of the Silan Royal Family had always been a widespread topic of interest among the people of two civilized planets; the current Empress's seizing of power alone was enough to make a grand epic, not to mention how the royal siblings would fare in their brilliant and intricate battles.

"It should... be fine, after all, I'm from the Chen Family Gate."

Chen Fei never considered those royal family issues. Judging by the truth he currently held, it didn't seem as complex as it appeared on the surface, with most of the dazzling distractions created by the Faction members themselves.

Moreover, with the contract introduced by his uncle, he naturally had the protection of the Chen Family charm. Given the relationship between the Lin and Chen families, it was unlikely for them to trap him into any deadly situations, right?

At this very moment, even though Chen Fei had been relieved of his contract—albeit formally; the actual situation might take a while to unravel until the Factions had been dealt with by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Her Royal Highness the Princess of the Slan Dynasty—at least for now, he was nominally dissociated from all the messy affairs.

Neither the Crown Prince's Faction nor the Princess Faction would pay any more attention to such a small-time temporary bodyguard.

"You have to be careful! There are no fathers and brothers in front of the throne, no filial or fraternal bonds; throughout history, the Heavenly Family has been indifferent to kinship. You must protect yourself when you're out there. Hmm, where are you staying now? Do you want me to arrange something? I have some contacts on Cangqiong Star."

Hanna Gagel spoke earnestly, clearly still worried.

"Me? I'm in the lair of the Metallic Dragons, surrounded by Magical Beasts and Giant Dragons within an eight-hundred-meter radius. It's incredibly safe!"

Chen Fei was actually quite grateful to Yilan for providing him temporary shelter. In all of Imperial Capital Delan City, he couldn't find a place safer than this. Forget thieves; even ordinary humans didn't dare to come close.

Even if the old dragon at the top of the mountain was decrepit, any little movement on the stone mountain couldn't escape its senses.

"Time's up, pack it up, pack it up, Cobalt Luo. I'm going to go out with a friend, make sure you look after these two little ones."

The female Metallic Dragon Yilan gathered up her work, not wanting to spend the entire summer vacation babysitting the naive children all because of Chen Fei's presence.

"Eh? Sister Yilan, why should this little ant be treated with such... Ow!"

Thud! The forgetful Cobalt Luo was once again swiftly knocked to the ground by Yilan's Tail Spear.

With teeth bared and claws flashing, Yilan chastised the foolish younger brother, "Chen Fei is my friend; you must show him the same respect as you show me, got it?"

"But, but Sister Yilan, Cobalt Luo is right, look at this human, with his black hair and eyes, and no claws; he wouldn't even feel it if he were captured!"

The young Thukadi child bared his teeth at Chen Fei, clearly unconvinced.

The previous ten-kilogram Mithril Orb's friendly value had been used up, please recharge in time!

"Hey, human, let's play a game, see who can be more fierce, ┗|｀O′|┛ Ow~~ Hahaha!"

The brat, Dragon Barium Sodium, was venting his frustration from grinding through problems all night, acting fierce in front of Chen Fei. The Metallic Dragons naturally had a ferocious appearance, and this pretense made them seem even more menacing.

"You two..."

As Yilan was about to stop the two unruly young dragons, she saw Chen Fei walk up to them.

"Playing who's fiercest, is that it?"

The Skill "Eyes of Tyranny" activated.

Consuming 1 Energy Point, duration 15 seconds, cooldown time 15 seconds.

The young dragon Barium Sodium felt a chill in his heart as he saw a pair of fractured gold eyes, his scales instinctively bristling.

Eh?!

┗|｀O′|┛ Ow!

"Ah!"

Benali screamed.

Soon after, Thukadi also began to cry out.

"Ouch, ouch ouch ouch! Woo... it hurts so much!~~~ Woo..."

The dragon, who had just claimed that a mere catch wouldn't hurt, now had a claw mark on its head, deep enough to fill an inch, rolling to one side and crying earth-shatteringly.

It was supposed to not hurt at all!

"Eyes of Tyranny" ended prematurely, and Chen Fei patted his hands back to their original form, educational moment for the brat complete.

He didn't care whether the other was from the Human Race or the Dragon Clan; if it was time to strike, he struck.

"You've taught well!"

Yilan nodded in full agreement. Skills of special abilities came in all shapes and forms, as long as they worked, there was no need to dwell too deep.

Quite the good friend indeed, even the method of handling young dragons seemed satisfying, a true stress reliever.

"Sister Yilan, this guy..."

Cobalt Luo looked at Chen Fei with a somewhat shifty gaze.

For some reason, the way Chen Fei had just behaved instilled a sense of fear in it, as though it wasn't looking at a member of the Human Race, but a Giant Dragon; it felt something was off but couldn't quite put its finger on it, a strange sensation.

Chen Fei stretched out his hand and made a fake grab at Cobalt Luo, who hastily swallowed the words it was about to say.

Yilan spoke with a mix of frustration and hope: "Cobalt Luo, when will you learn to behave?"

"I'm very well-behaved. Chen Fei is Sister Yilan's friend, friend, and so also my friend, right, sister?"

Cobalt Luo looked cautiously at Yilan.

"Hmm, the young dragon shows promise!"

The elder sister figure gave an approving look, and the little brother was instantly overjoyed.

The Tail Spear grazed Cobalt Luo's head, igniting sparks along the way, and it finally learned its lesson.

"Today's itinerary is all planned out. Take a look, Chen Fei."

No sooner had Yilan finished speaking than Chen Fei's phone and mind chimed simultaneously, receiving the document Yilan had sent.

Other Intelligent Species either frowned or kept their distance upon encountering Metallic Dragons, and although most Metallic Dragons didn't care, indifferent to not having friends or even if they had friends, they wouldn't feed them Steel Ingots for free, Yilan was part of the small minority who were sensitive inside and disliked the current social standing of the Metallic Dragons.

Unlike those Intelligent Species, Yilan wasn't foolish and could feel that Chen Fei's friendship was genuine, without caring about her being a Metallic Dragon. As it was a rare visit from Cangqiong Star, and since fate had brought them together, she didn't want to miss the chance with this rare Human friend and naturally planned to be a gracious host.

Drawing from her experience with friends from the Human Race and other Intelligent Species, Yilan had meticulously prepared several plans: one for sunny days, one for rainy days, one for overcast days, one for when there were many people, and one for when there were few—quite the feat for a Metallic Dragon who naturally disliked crowds.

"Let me have a look!"

Chen Fei selected the file from the visual interface. Yilan's obsession with setting up the 'date' was relentless.

Since it was such a kind gesture, he didn't want to keep refusing. Anyway, it wasn't often he came to the Imperial Capital of the Slan Dynasty. If there was a chance to explore, he would go with the flow.

Of course, he was also afraid that repeatedly refusing would anger the Big Sister dragon and result in getting flattened by one swipe of her claw.

The operations between the man and the dragon seemed a bit mysterious to onlookers, but a Metallic Dragon was equivalent to an intelligent AI. Moreover, Chen Fei had an AI companion with him, and both operated on their own without the need for external devices.

The Imperial Capital Delan City of the Slan Dynasty contained eight major city districts and sixteen satellite cities. It was not only densely populated but also rich in cultural landscapes. Planning a good one-day tour was not an easy task.

Sightseeing, dining, leisure, shopping—every minute and every second were meticulously arranged. It was truly Yilan's work.

"No problem here, how about you?"

Chen Fei looked at the other three Metallic Dragons, with the two younglings still sniffling.

This was mainly because the naive young dragons were somewhat easier to bully; if they were a few hundred years older or adult Metallic Dragons, he might have been sent by a swipe of their claw to be reborn as Chen Xiao'er.

"You two will solve another two hundred pounds of math problems before I get back!"

The female Metallic Dragon Yilan glared at the three young dragons.
