Dragon Monarch System
chapter-675

"Boss, how long are we going to wait here?" Asked one of the pirates. His name was Crow. He was the oldest pirate of The Sable Kraken Crew. He has been with his boss since the formation of their group. Standing on the deck of the ship, a short man with long braided hair was looking at the island in the distance. He had a sword tied to his waist. He was wearing an eye patch and wore a red tricorn hat that had a skeleton symbol on it. He was the captain of the ship. He was the Leader of The Sable Kraken Crew. His nickname was Mad Eye. Only a few people knew his real name which was Merrick. "Not too long. We will act once I have gotten the anti-teleportation talisman in my hand." Once this talisman was used, every teleportation array on the island would become completely useless. This meant that no outsider would come to aid the islanders. This island belonged to the Istarin Empire. Messing with the Istarin Empire was super dangerous. The Empire does not let of its enemies. Knowing this, The Captain and his crew have been monitoring this island under the disguise of a foreign merchant for over three weeks now. Some of their men have gone to the island and have blended into the population. Their men have been gathering information. The island was protected by one Mid 3rd-order Dragonian. For weeks, they have been patiently waiting for the day when the Dragonian would finally leave the Island. As long as the Dragonian used the teleportation array and left the Island, it would be finally their chance to act. The pirates weren't stupid enough to mess with a Dragonian. Everyone knows just how dangerous a Dragonian could be. Despite being such a small island, this island was very rich in resources. The islanders were very wealthy. The plan was to rob everything before the Talisman lost its power. The Talisman was going to lose its power in 3 hours. So they had 3 hours to rob everything. As they were done, the pirates planned to use the teleportation array in their ships and flee from this continent. Staying in this Continent would be super dangerous. Not to mention, they did not want to be hunted down by the Shadow Guardian. The plan was perfect and now they were waiting for the right opportunity to begin. Tonight the sea was very calm. The sky was also very clear. The full moon was right above their heads. There were no strong waves or strong winds. Everything was very silent. Other than their ships, there were no other ships in this area. "There is a very high chance that we are going to move tonight. So don't drink any alcohol for tonight." Merrick told his subordinates. "Understood!"

Merrick then looked up at the sky. But when he did, he widened his eyes seeing hundreds of Crimson lightning arrows heading towards them. "Everyone dod...!!!" He didn't even get the chance to finish his words. Bang...!!!

As the smoke cleared, Merrick was still standing but not in a good state. And all of his subordinates had been killed. Their bodies had been completely fried black. All of his ships were on fire. "Who did it?" Merrick shouted in an angry tone. Whoever it was had destroyed everything that he had worked hard to build. All of his men were dead. All of his ships were on fire and could not be saved anymore. He might never recover from this loss. Merrick noticed a guy standing 4000 meters above the sea. Because of the distance, Merrick could not clearly see his face. But he could tell that this was a male. When Merrick blinked, he found that the figure had disappeared. Tap....!! Tap....!!

But the next second, he heard footsteps behind him. His back suddenly became stiff and drops of sweat began rolling down his cheeks. 'How did he appear behind me within a second?' Merrick wondered in his mind. Not even a Peak 5th-order cultivator was capable of doing something like this. When Merrick turned around, he saw Aditya's face. Under the moonlight, his crimson eyes were glowing. Those Dragon eyes were filled with killing intent. Aditya kept his hands in his pocket. He kept staring at Merrick's eyes for a few seconds before he asked. 'Those Crimson eyes...!!! And the Crimson Thunder.....!!' Merrick realized it was the Dragon Monarch. 'Shit....!! How did I become so unlucky? How did the Dragon Monarch even know about me? I haven't even done anything yet.' Merrick cursed his luck. He had planned everything so well yet before he could even take action, he was destroyed by the Dragon Monarch. "If you answer my question, then I will let you go." Aditya coldly said. Merrick had no choice but to nod his head. His eyes were filled with fear. "Do you know anyone who steals or buys Mana Hearts?"

'Who would want Mana Hearts?' Merrick asked himself. It was a very strange question. Merrick did not have an answer to this question. "I don't know anything." Merrick honestly replied. In front of the Dragon Monarch, he doesn't dare to lie. Aditya stared at Merrick for a few seconds before he turned around. At the same time, from Aditya's shadow, a figure jumped out. As this happened, Merrick was very startled. "Arrest this man. If he tries to do anything then kill him."

"And also erase everything here." Saying these words, Aditya disappeared. He had teleported back to the Dragon Palace. -

Scene change______

The next morning, "Did you find anything, Nathan?" Aditya asked. They were currently in their office. Last night, something very big happened in the Istarin Empire. More than 300+ criminals had been captured within a single night. While another 300 had been killed mysteriously. When it was daytime, there was no trace of those criminals. It was as if they had been mysteriously erased. Not even the nobles of the Empire knew of this. Only the members of the Shadow Guardian knew about what happened. "Unfortunately, not yet. I and my team are still looking for similar cases. As soon as we find anything, I will report it to you." Aditya nodded his head. It only has been a day since the incident took place. Aditya had kind of expected Nathan to not find anything in such a short period of time. Besides, last night, Nathan was busy. Because of that incident, the security of the Istarin Prison has been increased even more. Aditya sat down on his chair and then looked outside of the window. From the window, he could see Riya in the distance. She was currently using her powers to restore the destroyed forest.

'She has been working very hard these days.' Aditya cannot thank her enough. Aditya sensed that Julia was heading towards his office. "Alright, you can leave now." Nathan simply nodded his head and then he disappeared without making any noise. Click.....!!!

When Julia entered his office, she found Aditya working. "Do you need anything?" Aditya asked. Julia did not reply. She quietly walked behind him and then curiously looked at what he was doing. "I am just here to watch you," Julia replied. Julia had decided to take a break from her work as well. Once she was done making a cure for Lara, Julia no longer had any pressure on her mind. If she wished, she could take things easy and slow. "It feels like these days you have been working too hard," Julia said as she wrapped her arms around his neck. She then rested her chin on his left shoulder and curiously looked at the documents that he was reading. "Not really. Compared to Spencer, this is nothing." Aditya replied. "Why don't you take a break? It has been a while since we have gone out on a date." Julia wanted to spend more time with Aditya. Hearing this Aditya smiled. He suddenly pulled her from behind.

The next second, Julia was sitting on his lap. She had locked between his arms. While resting his chin on her shoulder, he continued to work. "You're right. Maybe I should take a break. Where do you want to go?" Aditya gently asked. Aditya did not need to take a break. But he realized that these days, he hasn't been spending enough time with Julia. Julia will always have a special spot in his heart. She will be always his number one. Chu.....!!

Aditya then kissed her right cheek. Julia rested her head on his chest and closed her eyes for a few seconds. "I think I like it here. I want to stay like this for a while." She replied in a lazy tone. This position was very comfortable. From this position, she could hear his warm breath on her body. She could hear his calm heartbeat. This was the type of intimacy she wanted the most right now. And since he was in his office, no one was going to disturb them. ----------------
