Chapter 137

The appearance of the Azure Dragon as seen in the video footage was, for a lack of better description, endearing Smiles automatically found their ways to people’s faces, when they saw the Dragon caring for the marine lifeforms that had build their homes in the East Sea; the sense of adher when seeing it survey the distant horizon, in case an unwelco its hue to faint silver - althoughit a bit tricky to call it Azure now - caused a storm of curiosity and desire to learn the reason from the public as well

"……Ahhh"

Currently, inside the penthouse suite of a certain luxury hotel

The most likely candidate to inherit the position of power from the current Va at the i projected on to a wall

As she looked on at the ‘new’ Azure Dragon, the powerful e time because of her inept and duly head once more

That e curiosity and her throbbing heart, almost a fetish-like avarice

SFX for a cheerful growl

She saw the Dragon shtly as it surveyed the lifeforms - fish - it protected She wanted so badly to corrupt that se, more cruel, more violent To s at anyone else that wasn’t her…

"My lady…"

As Bathory began sto it herself, an Elder Apostle called out to her in worry

"What?" (Bathory)

It was just a single word, but her tone of voice possessed enough killing intent within it to send chills down the Apostle’s backside He couldn’t dare to aze fixed to the floor

"Just like before… there are just too many eyewitnesses in the East Sea, my Lady" (Apostle)

The Elder Apostles, the only ones possessing enough status to seek an audience with their future queen, tried their utirl was someone with a stubborn personality that just had to do what she wanted in order to please herself, by using the excuse of their grand sche to the homeland’, they could tie her up in the meantime

"I also know, okay? I , when I had a long and nice chat with the Lord…"

SFX for a cute-ish yawn of a Dragon

As soon as those words left her lips

A unique scene of the Azure Dragon yawning and stretching its arms came on the screen Bathory looked at that in a total daze and took a big gulp of her overflowing saliva

"…W, ould I pay attention to soh, her eyes were fir projected to

"That is a relief…" (Apostle)

"If my Lady desires to possess the creature, then, isn’t it possible to capture it during Winter?"

However

Suddenly, a certain unna Apostle whose combat powers had seen an abrupt increase lately and had quickly cliuards

"Y, you bstard, what are y…"

"Med Elder Apostle, al her, panicked and whispered to the new guy, but those words uttered by hihly

"My Lady!! You ht noe…"

"You, shut your mouth, and you, I’m all ears" (Bathory)

Bathory slow

ly stroked her lips with her slender fingers while staring at the young Apostle

"I’ht must have informed you already, but if I was allowed to say it… Firstly, it is cold and barren during the winterthis period Hu, ould think of heading over to the East Sea? In other words, there will be far less nu Apostle’s naht by Sae-Jin in the past and becoy Link’, this Vaiven to hiuy made his first appearance in chapters 89 and 90)

"And also, I’reatly benefit our overall scheme as well Maybe other Apostles don’t think the sa a powerful divine creature like that Dragon would bolster our forces even reatly? That is why, I believe that we shouldn’t reatly in the end" (Rhosrahdel)

"You young one who doesn’t know anything… My Lady, please do not listen to him It ht decrease, but there is still no guarantee that brainwashing will be successful…"

"If it’s you, my Lady, I have no doubts whatsoever" (Rhosrahdel)

Rhosrahdel did his best to butter up to her, but suspicions grew larger on Bathory’s face as her eyes re her lifetime, she had met her share of treacherous subordinates That is why, even she could easily figure out that unending and baseless praising were the hall this eerie silence, Rhosrahdel’s face hardened slightly, but before the suspicion against hier, he projected the screen of his phone in the air

"To beon website until now I participated in their reat deal of money as well And as a result, I aon’s radius and scope of movement" (Rhosrahdel)

It was true that, with his clearance, Rhosrahdel could access ‘VVIP’ level of inforon website As an aside, the membership advancement was so strict that not even Bathory, who had secretly joined, could advance past the ‘Gold’ membership even now

"…Mmm…"

Then, Bathory’s expression softened a little Ie, Rhosrahdel quickly infor its growth phase requires a lot of sleep, so theof 25th of December… or so they say This can not be any more ideal, my Lady Not only is it in the middle of Winter, it’s also Christmas, so people will choose to spend the day with their fa there should be no one out there by the ocean"

Rhosrahdel stopped with his words right there

However, he certainly dared not to look up for he lacked the necessary balls to do so What kind of facial expressions would she beready to drain every drop of blood out froet lost" (Bathory)

Rhosradel’s heart fell to the bottoht, yet his body shook so much, he couldn’tto die, but fortunately for him, her voice wasn’t directed towards his direction

"Lady Bathory!! We have a far bigger plan to execute, rather than that Azure Dragon…!!"

That was a desperate cry of the elderly Elder Apostle

"Who do you think you are to raise your voice!!" (Bathory)

In shock, Rhosrahdel quickly lifted his head He saw the aged Elder deeply koing and apologising his heart out

"…Please forgive this foolish old man"

"I know you are not souy over here will be more useful for this job, don’t you think? Hey, kid" (Bathory)

"Y, yes?"

Bathory looked over Rhosrahdel once and licked her lips slowly

"Stay here from now on" (Bathory)

"That, that rats Of course, who knows for how long you can hold on, though" (Bathory)

She smirked lazily and extended her foot It was a pale but refined foot There were faint lines of blood vessels visible on her skin like son of submission and loyalty that Bathory liked to perfor her toes

Nove steadily closer There was a strange and tense at the round conference room

&8211; "The day of the operation is 25th of December - the Christmas day"

Lillia’s voice came out from the coood People won’t co Christmas… It’s fine if it’s only us who has to suffer It’s a day that comes around only once in a year, after all"

Yi Hye-Rin jokingly complained

"But still, I can’t hardly believe it even now… Guild Master, your Trait is really you transforon, I mean, into the Leviathan?!" (Yi Hye-Rin)
