Civilization: Beyond Two Worlds

394 One Punch Dragon Lady

“Because I’m beautiful.”

The Dragon Girl gently brushed her beautiful hair. Her pale golden hair swayed gently, and it flowed in the void like liquid gold. Even in the slightly bright sky, it still shone with a charming luster.

Coupled with her cold but beautiful face, she looked even more charming.

However, such an answer…

—What are you talking about?!

The man roared in his mind.

Santos, the external CMO of the Dragon Security Company—that was, the Chief Marketing Officer, human. His function was to formulate a marketing strategy and implementation plan for the Dragon Clan, complete the marketing goal, coordinate the relationship of internal employees with the external market, and supervise and control the business process of the Dragon mercenary business.

As soon as the battle of Red Maple City ended, the dragons immediately received this bad news. A dragon cavalry battle group composed of three dragons had been destroyed by the enemy in ten minutes. This was a military product that the company had strongly promoted as a fist project. It had actually encountered a terrifying quality crisis in the small Goethe.

It was the company’s fiscal year statistics. The marketing department wanted to show their strength in the next contract renewal negotiation and do their performance beautifully so that they could celebrate the new year. Unexpectedly, from the Dragon to the foreign employees, everyone who was rubbing their fists was beheaded and slashed by a Cathayan called Kang De. Such a blow could not be said to be heavy.

In particular, the information of the various countries circulated extremely quickly. On the second day after the war ended, the marketing department heard the news. A few large clients had doubts about the renewal of the contract and took the opportunity to bargain.

When the news returned to Dragon Island, it caused the dragons to panic greatly. After all, market confidence determined the sales situation and the sales situation determined the company’s revenue. Revenue determined the dividends everyone could obtain. To the dragons who valued wealth as their lives, this bad news was comparable to an invasion of the void realm and the descent of a demon. How could they not panic?

According to the business spirit of the Dragon Security Company’s limited responsibility, the anxious dragon investors found the responsible subject and forced him to give up. They asked the chairman, the Dragon Emperor, to come up with a regulation.

At the urgent shareholders’ meeting, the dragons were aggressive. The young dragons who were young and hot-blooded and hoped to live on dividends roared loudly. The ancient dragon language, majestic dragon might, and the furious dragon roar connected, even causing a small-scale spatial fluctuation. Seizing the dragon’s money was like destroying the world. The hatred for killing three clansmen was secondary. He would not agree to destroy everyone’s wealth!

They almost clamored to mobilize in groups to flatten Goethe and kill that Cathayan.

At the critical moment, the Dragon Emperor descended from the sky. The dragon might of the Emperor pressed down on an island. The dragon’s roar covered the anger of the entire race. In front of many clansmen, the highest ruler of the dragon race raised three shocking questions.

Did a client pay to kill Kang De?

They did not even get a copper coin and ran to fight for nothing. Wasn’t that stupid?

If they failed and Kang De took revenge, if Dragon Island was washed away by a forbidden curse, who would buy the company’s services?

The three questions were each more shocking than the other. The dragons immediately stopped. The so-called kings were all far-sighted people and would definitely not be blinded by anger.

Then, Santos accepted the order in danger.

They had to communicate first.

After all, it was not embarrassing to talk to businessmen.

Ever since Santos was hired by the dragons, he had racked his brains and displayed his ability. He signed military trade orders, promoted the martial strength services of the dragons, hired the navy to brag for the Dragoons, and had done everything. He had received the order of the Dragon Emperor to bring the hopes of the old and young masters of the entire island to Red Maple City. To him, it was only another business challenge. He was filled with confidence.

The dragons had given him the highest intelligence authority, so much so that he could read all the information about the Cathayan, Kang De. Although it was very rare, he could still roughly determine the other party’s personality from his words, actions, and methods in the Empire, Valentine, and even Red Maple City in the past few months.

He had great power and knew how to restrain himself. He was kind but not weak. At the critical moment, he was terrifyingly decisive.

However, he could communicate and reason.

As long as there was this advantage, there was room for negotiation.

However…

—You have to let me see him first!

There were two things he did not expect. The first was that a female dragon had joined his team. He did not even know if the Dragon Emperor had sent her or if she had secretly followed.

The second thing… the Phoenix King had personally come to stop him.

No, it was not to stop him but to stop this young lady.

A wonder of the dragon race.

She was clearly a dragon, but she ran to be a killer and did it quite successfully.

This was because the talent to restrain her aura and erase traces was really too powerful. Not only could the dragon might and power fluctuations be eliminated, but she could even restrain her aura. She completely looked like a beautiful and weak girl. She walked to the target and punched. The huge and terrifying power of the dragon was restrained in its beautiful and petite body. With a punch, it erupted completely. No matter how unparalleled an expert was caught off guard, they had to die on the spot.

She was called the One Punch Dragon Lady.

This legendary assassin wanted to go to Red Maple City. Even Santos suspected the intentions of the Dragon Emperor. Had he secretly arranged for this person to take action? If he saw a flaw, he would kill Kang De with a punch.

—What did I say?

Business spirit!

Negotiation was a negotiation, and plotting was plotting. However, you could not negotiate and plot at the same time!

Something must have happened!

Without even seeing Kang De, they were stopped by the elves outside the city!

Moreover, it was personally stopped by the Phoenix King!

It was true! The Phoenix King was indeed having an affair with Kang De!

In Santos’ opinion, the motive for the Phoenix King, Delilah, to appear was simply extremely obvious. Because she had discovered the assassin dragon who was good at hiding his tracks, she was worried that the other party was going to Red Maple City to attack Kang De, so she appeared to stop him. She was completely protecting her husband!

Thinking about this carefully, Santos could not help but feel sad for Her Majesty the Phoenix King. Look, Kang De was in the city, being a hero and being thanked by the Goethe people. He was like this with the princess and the Crimson Queen every day. Perhaps there were other women participating in the battle, and Her Majesty Delilah was alone outside the city, enduring the disappointment and loneliness of defeat. She actually had to intercept the assassin and protect her ex-boyfriend who was extremely happy in the city…

Therefore…

“Because I’m beautiful.”

These words simply touched a sore spot.

Although the goal in this negotiation was a hot-blooded young man, sending a mysterious and beautiful dragon girl over was a very good choice.

After all, in the various knight novels and fantasy books that were popular on the continent, dragons who could transform into beautiful women were very professional characters like the Saintess of the church.

—But don’t say it directly!

Not to mention in front of this person!

As expected, the Phoenix King’s voice suddenly turned cold, “The dragons are really becoming less and less particular. It’s fine if they’re mercenaries, but now they have to use seduction?”

...

“It’s not seduction.”

The Dragon Girl was not angry, or rather, she did not show it on her face. She opened her hands in a daze and spun on the spot. Her beautiful hair and the corners of her skirt swayed slightly, then her tone was calm as she said indifferently, “After all, Your Majesty, please look. I’m not disguised as a man.”

“…”

“…”

F*ck, f*ck, f*ck, f*ck, f*ck!

These words were too lethal. The mockery broke through the sky. The Phoenix King immediately pulled out the holy sword. Her phoenix wings flapped, and flames swept. The flame wind and might forced the members of the caravan to retreat in fear. Only the Dragon Girl’s black dress danced, and her indifferent face was illuminated by the flames.

“You’re courting death!”

One did not hit people’s faces or expose their shortcomings. These words were too immoral.

Delilah’s killing intent had appeared.

“No, Your Majesty. If I die, things will be even more troublesome.”

Under the abundant killing intent of the Elven Empress, the Dragon Girl did not move, “If we die and you admit it, the dragons and elves will start a war. If you don’t admit it, my race will think that Kang De did it. Even if we don’t want to start a war, we have to fight. In other words, Your Majesty came this time to kill us and frame him?”

...

Delilah pointed her holy sword at her and said coldly, “According to you, you’re here to negotiate?”

The Dragon Girl nodded and said, “Of course.”

“But Kang De killed three of your clansmen.”

“The related pension amount and insurance claim have been sent to the headquarters of your Royal Army.”

“Don’t you want revenge?”

“We can’t let our clansmen come back to life after taking revenge. Moreover, no client placed an order.”

“…This will cause the combat strength of the dragon to be questioned, and the price of the employment order will be affected, right?”

“We’re here for this.”

“How are you going to resolve it?”

“This is not something the Phoenix King should care about, right?”

The core of the conversation was continuously changing. The Dragon Girl looked at the king close at hand and narrowed her eyes slightly, grabbing the initiative as if nothing had happened, “Is Your Majesty disappointed? I’m not here to kill Kang De, but if you want to place an order, it’s a different story…”

Delilah said indifferently, “Of course, I have to deal with my enemy myself.”

The Dragon Girl nodded and said, “I’ll tell Prince Kang De this.”

“…She won’t, she won’t, she won’t, she won’t!”

Santos finally could not help but take the risk to interfere in this conversation. He could not let this young lady continue to speak. D*mn, no wonder the Dragon Emperor could not stand her.

He smiled obsequiously and nodded, “Your Majesty, Phoenix King, I guarantee you that we’re filled with respect for you and His Highness Kang De. We definitely won’t do anything we shouldn’t…”

Delilah was silent for a long time before slowly putting away the holy sword and shaking her head in disinterest.

“Remember your words, Dragon. This is my warning. Don’t have any ideas about him.”

The Dragon Girl’s expression changed slightly. To her, it was already a relatively large emotional fluctuation.

She said, “Her Majesty actually didn’t hide it?”

The Phoenix King glanced at her, her fiery eyes filled with elf-like pride.

“I don’t want him to die. There’s nothing to hide. I just don’t want to take the blame for no reason.” Delilah turned. “It’s just to repay him for stopping. That’s all.”

The phoenix flapped its wings and disappeared into the sky with the king on its back.

An unprecedented terrifying pressure slowly disappeared. The guards of the caravan had long fainted from the pressure. It was chaos. Only Santos and the Dragon Girl watched the phoenix leave.

The Dragon Girl was silent for a moment before suddenly taking out her small notebook and writing quickly.

Santos took a few heavy breaths and turned to look. His gaze was resentful and his tone was tired.

“Hey,” he said. “What are you writing?”

The girl replied, “Her last few duplicitous words are very good. I have to remember them. From this, it can be seen that love can turn wise people into idiots. Even the Elven Empress is no exception.”

“F*ck.” Santos held it in for a long time and exhaled faintly. “I’m so envious.”

“Yes.” The girl nodded as she wrote. “I’m very envious too.”

“…What are you envious of?”

“Love.”

The Dragon Girl said, “The ruler of the elves, the noblest monarch in this world, actually developed an unforgettable relationship with an enemy covered in the blood of her race by chance. She crossed races, countries, and hatred, but she still ended in regret in the face of the cold war and cruel reality. However, even if they can’t be together, the love in her heart hasn’t changed at all… I’m really envious of the Empress for actually having such a novel-like love experience.”

To her, this sentence was already a long speech.

It could be seen that she was really envious.

“…”

Santos said with a subtle expression, “You also want to have sex with Kang De?”

The Dragon Girl shook her head and said, “I don’t think so.”

The product manager of the Dragon Security Company glanced at him and said, “Why?”

The beautiful dragon girl turned to look at him. Her expression was calm, and her eyes were extremely calm.

“He’ll be crushed.”

“…”

His diplomatic skills were maxed out, and he was proficient in several languages. He knew the colorful jokes circulating in more than ten countries. He had dominated the wine table and talked about many large businesses. Santos, who had told countless generals, counts, and even kings low-level jokes, coughed violently after being stunned for a few seconds.

“Wake them up and hurry on your way.”

There was no embarrassment or surprise on the Dragon Girl’s face. “I can’t wait to see him.”

Two hours later, after this small episode… No, it was the convoy of the Dragon Security Company who finally saw the city wall of Red Maple City that had experienced the flames of war.

After entering the city, he handed over his identity card to the relevant departments and applied for a meeting.

This trip had a clear goal. It was not sneaky, but open.

The money, gifts, and treasures he carried were not bribes.

The Dragon Security Company had followed the normal business process of the company to redeem the bones of the dragons who had died in battle.

They hoped to visit Prince Kang De.

“Yes, why not?”

Kang De agreed to the request to meet and asked Stella to discuss it with the Grand Duke. He came to the garden and patted his iron son’s hood. “Be prepared just in case.”

Horus replied in a low voice, “No problem, Father, but there’s something.”

“What?”

“Please send me back to the white fog world. I need to reorganize my weapons.”

“Okay.”

Kang De pressed down on the car and turned around to say to the gorilla, “Guard here, and don’t let anyone barge in.”

The gorilla subconsciously blushed, then nodded. “Al… alright.”

Kang De did not notice this subtle change in expression.

Just as he did not notice, when he turned to speak to the gorilla, his iron son behind him quietly stretched out a mechanical arm from the roof and gave the gorilla a thumbs up.

It meant, “Leave it to me, no problem.”

After Kang De and his son disappeared into the black light and entered the white fog world, the gorilla covered her face and squatted on the ground, muttering, “Do I really have to wear that kind of clothes… How strange…”

…
