"Lord Noah, you truly know how to joke, the Gemology Society was established by you, if you do not serve as the President, who else could replace you, being more competent than you?"
Immediately, a voice full of flattery resounded, though the Dragon Clan are extremely proud creatures who would never easily submit to any being outside themselves, everything has its situation, flattering an Ancestral Golden Dragon, no one thinks it’s over the top.
"I have not been involved for three years, I cannot be said to be competent, but now that there is an issue with a member of the Society, as the President, it is only natural that I take responsibility."
Noah surveyed the venue, as these words were spoken, many dragons displayed an awkward expression, lowering their heads, embarrassed to meet Noah’s gaze.
Speaking of it, it’s not really a major issue, it’s just that if it spreads, it would be very embarrassing.
As is well-known, the Metallic Dragon Race is fervent for justice, fond of participating in events combating evil, especially the young dragons who have recently left their nests, they revel in such excitement.
Because they yearn to prove themselves, eager to obtain their first title beyond just a name, which represents honor.
Hence, Noah’s Gemology Society, as a very loosely structured dragon organization, sees dragons leaving every year, of course, there are also dragons joining.
The dragons that exit are not due to bullying, exclusion, or suppression, but simply because of boredom, wishing to seek what they consider meaningful.
Yet because of the nature of the Metallic Dragon Race, these guys easily get swept into whirlpools of events large and small. They’re either on their way to find trouble or have already involved themselves in trouble.
With the power of the Dragon Clan, most issues can be resolved, but there are always matters that can’t be solved; at those times, the traditional skill of the Metallic Dragon Race comes into play.
Dragon shake!
Justice’s group brawl!
The two Vice Presidents appointed by Noah, Golden Dragon Agnes and Silver Dragon Annabelle, are committed to transforming the Gemology Society, such a loose organization, into a formal force, by responding to fellow dragons’ calls for rescue.
This is a very prudent matter, as Noah agreed before his slumber, young dragons helping each other is indeed a good thing.
But the problem lies in some young dragons being heedless; without thorough investigation, they plunge headlong into great trouble, not only dragging themselves in but also the rescuers, unable to climb out.
Presently, there are two troubles within the Gemology Society, the first being that Vice President Golden Dragon Agnes, in the process of supporting a fellow dragon, fell victim to evil schemes and was unfortunately trapped.
Thanks to the Silver Dragon Tragedy event, the enormous deterrent brought by the arrival of the Ancient Dragon ensured that neither Golden Dragon Agnes nor the Bronze Dragon needing support are in life-threatening danger.
But the problem is, no dragon knows where they are trapped, even wanting to rescue them is out of the question, if one wants to know, it is quite simple, just pay a ransom.
Yes, that’s right, just pay a ransom. The devil, who schemed against the two Metallic Dragons and whose name is still unknown, directly launched an extortion upon the Gemology Society after succeeding, demanding a ransom be paid, promising to reveal the trapped location upon receiving it.
Being kidnapped and extorted like this is naturally a very embarrassing situation for dragons, but making dragons pay a ransom is even more out of the question, it’s a huge violation of dragon dignity and wealth.
Of course, it is mainly because that insidious, despicable, crafty devil sends image stones from time to time to prove that the two trapped Metallic Dragons are not in danger and are living quite well in their trapped location.
It is apparent that the major incident created following the arrival of the Ancient Dragon greatly frightened the devil, even if he ensnared the Metallic Dragon Race, he didn’t dare go too far.
"The ransom for Vice President Agnes and the other member Pania will be paid by me."
As Noah spoke, to the young dragons present, it was like a thunderclap, they looked at this unbelievably strong young President with disbelief.
"Noah, do you know what this means?"
It wasn’t only Silver Dragon Annabelle, other members found it difficult to accept as well.
"President, how can you compromise with the devil?"
"You are clearly so powerful, even adult dragons cannot match you."
"Indeed, I am very strong, even if it’s against adult dragons, I have no fear, but do you know where our enemy is?"
"Tell me, if you can give me an accurate location, I can set out personally right now and eliminate it."
Noah spoke, his calm and steady voice instantly silencing the dragon group, leaving them speechless.
"I know my decision is hard for you to accept, this compromises the dignity of our Gemology Society, but this is a decision I have thought over.
In reality, I must ensure the safety of my kind, prioritizing the lives of Society members first."
Noah’s words were powerful and resonant, and as he spoke, he simply executed the Transformation Technique, once again presenting his colossal dragon form far surpassing his kind, recklessly unleashing the life pressure of an Ancestor Dragon, making his words very convincing,
"As for lost dignity and money, they can be regained tenfold in the future, I believe I have that power, don’t you believe in me?"
"But Miss Agnes and others are not in any life-threatening danger!"
This was also why the dragon group did not attempt any large actions, because the devil repeatedly proved he did not harm the Metallic Dragons, only designing to trap them.
"Foolish, how many warnings have our ancestors left in the inherited memories, warning you not to trust devils, and yet simply because the devil sent a few stones, you chose not to redeem your companions, don’t you find this laughable?"
No dragon could respond to Noah’s questioning, and some dragons felt ashamed, no longer questioning Noah’s decision, and importantly, Noah promised to pay the ransom himself, providing reassurance.
Facts proved that the devil daring enough to harm the Metallic Dragon Race was indeed trustworthy, once a generous ransom was paid according to his method, the location trapping the two Metallic Dragons soon surfaced uniquely among the dragon group, and both dragons were rescued.
After breaking free, upon meeting Noah, Golden Dragon Agnes, though astonished by the new form Noah displayed, showing a shock expression that Noah savored, her next actions puzzled Noah greatly.
"Is she intentionally distancing herself from me?"
Seeing the Golden Dragon Agnes deliberately avoiding him and walking around, Noah looked in disbelief at the Red Copper Dragon assistant beside him,
"It seems so."
"How could this happen?"
Noah felt quite perplexed.
After advancing into adolescence, his physiology matured further, his reactions toward female dragons were indeed stronger than in his youth, yet, the female dragon who wouldn’t leave him alone in his youth was now distancing herself from him.
"Lord President, please take care of the self-esteem of us ordinary dragons."
Silver Dragon Annabelle’s voice drifted over.
"Is it because of the ransom?"
Noah only then realized,
"I didn’t consider this matter important, no need to act like this."
"You may not care, but that doesn’t mean she can."
"Alright then!"
Though his Golden Dragon Vice President’s reaction was off, Noah still had to handle the second issue, which involves tracking the Heart Stealer and the missing case of three young dragons in the Dark Territory.
In the Valley of Flames region, there was a large-scale disappearance of adventurer groups, investigations hinting at the possible involvement of the Heart Stealer, then several young dragons ventured in and vanished, with not even a ransom-demanding extortionist in sight this time.
