Chapter 45 Draco's Wrath (1)
By the time they returned to Mercenary City, Vimba had joined an B-Rank Mercenary group and had become the Vice-Head of the Viper Mercenary.His strength had increased far beyond theirs, and because of his talent, he was accepted as the vice head.
They knew they had to lay low, growing stronger until they were able to get revenge.
"So, what's the treasure that made him betray you?" Draco asked, intrigued.
"It was a diamond-grade leveling herb," Brad's words surprised Draco.
After the awakening of Originat during the apocalypse, it wasn't only beasts that experienced changes; plants also underwent these changes, with some becoming sentient, violent, and turning into Plant Volkoids.
Some plants became containers of Originat, holding great amounts of it. They are called herbs.
The functions of herbs include increasing levels, boosting stats, healing, and foundation building. All these are ranked. For example, the leveling herb:
Silver Rank: Increases one level
Gold Rank: Increases two levels
Platinum Rank: Increases three levels
Diamond Rank: Increases five levels
For healing herbs, the higher their grade, the more powerful their healing properties. It is said that Earth-Grade healing herbs can regenerate any body part, Heaven-Grade herbs can heal both the soul and the body, and the Legendary God-Grade herb can revive a person from the dead.
But there are some unique herbs that have no rank and are rare to find, yet their efficacy is unbelievable. Some can increase your ability rank by a grade, grant talents, provide unique class skills, or even bestow abilities. These herbs are incredibly rare, like finding a drop of water in the middle of an ocean.
Brad continued his story:
Because of this, they moved carefully and cautiously, knowing that Vimba had grown stronger. When they tried to recruit members for their guild, they either got no one, or if someone joined, the person wouldn't stay for more than a week before leaving the mercenary group.
Draco could feel the anger and helplessness in Brad's words. He could see that the mercenaries had been through a lot.
"Viper Mercenary," Draco muttered, a cold light flashing in his eyes.
It was the same mercenary group that had been chasing Adrian. Adrian had been accused of stealing something, but when he explained to Draco, it turned out that he hadn't.
It seemed Draco had a feud to settle with this mercenary group.
When they arrived at the "We Love You" Inn, they saw it was surrounded by a group of mercenaries and a police car.
"What's wrong?" Brad asked suspiciously.
Could it be that two mercenaries had fought, and the police had come to settle it? He was confused.
As they got closer, they noticed the mercenary uniforms bearing a viper crest.
Brad's mood turned sullen, recognizing who had arrived.
"That's him," they heard a familiar voice. Looking ahead, they saw Vimba with a policeman, pointing toward Draco.
"Young man, you are under arrest for kidnapping someone else's child," the policeman said as he held his gun and brought out a pair of handcuffs.
Both the gun and handcuffs were rune weapons—one capable of killing a Volkoid, and the other capable of sealing one's Originat and strength.
Draco's eyes narrowed, anger bubbling in his heart. "This bastard dares lay a hand on Lyraea."
Brad and the rest, standing beside Draco, felt the air turn chilly, making them sweat. They could feel Draco's anger boiling over.
"What proof do you have to say so?" Brad shouted angrily.
"We found the mother of the child. She has been
"You guys shouldn't stress yourselves. Let Adrian and Adriana deal with this," Draco told Brad and the others, who were confused about how 15-year-old twins could handle such a situation.
Turning to the twins, Draco said, "Show me if you're still worthy of following me."
Though Adrian had been one of Draco's subordinates in his past life, and Adriana shared part of his unique bloodline, their strength needed to meet his standards. Otherwise, there was no point in them following him. He would simply disentangle himself from them and let them live their lives.
Adrian took a deep breath. He had been the Master's subordinate in his past life and would continue to be so now.
"No worries. Just unleash your primal instinct," Draco chuckled, glancing at Lyraea, who slept peacefully in his arms. His lack of interest in the ongoing fight was evident.
Adrian and Adriana laughed strangely at his words. Fangs grew as Adrian's hair turned silver-red, matching his eyes. Adriana's hair turned golden-red, her eyes reflecting the same hue.
The slaughter began.
"Another demon? Why is the aura so weak?" Xylara's confused voice spoke as she appeared beside Draco.
"Another demon?" Draco asked in surprise. "It looks like the goddess of luck favors me," he said narcissistically, earning an eye roll from Xylara.
"So, where is the aura coming from?"
"It's from the crowd... one of those six," Xylara said, pointing to a group of people. Draco turned to look and saw a...

Adria's name will be changed to Adriana—it sounds more girlish than the former. Please continue to support this shameless author!
