CHAPTER 455: CHAPTER 269: RED ALERT 3

"How much is this even worth..." David and his sister, who had never seen the world, were wide-eyed, while Satilaesa and the others, tied around David’s neck like a string of firecrackers, simply short-circuited completely, their eyes filled with glittering treasure like countless twinkling stars.

Greed

At the same time, David finally understood why his dragon dad, Attilicia, who had once amassed a fortune of a whopping sixty thousand pounds, still ’didn’t know the value of his wealth.’

Born on Dragon Island, his dad had surely seen the grandeur of wealth for more generations than one could count!

And this almost undisguised greed, which felt like it could make them swoop down at any second, also shocked dragon dad Attilicia, who quickly lashed out with his tail and whispered a reminder, "Don’t do anything rash! On Dragon Island, stealing another dragon’s treasure is a grave crime."

"What about taking it by force?" David asked seriously.

Jealousy

"..." This left dragon dad Attilicia completely baffled.

Of course, David wasn’t actually that reckless.

He also didn’t think there was anything wrong with his previous ’coin-splurging plan.’

Dragon Island was wealthy, and young dragons were poor; these two facts didn’t conflict.

The wealth of dragons was mostly not inherited; they had to earn it themselves.

And after dragon dad Attilicia’s reminder, through the Eye of Greed, David had already spotted the trickery on Dragon Island.

It was a densely packed, chain-like interweaving flow of Mana Energy particles.

Dragon Nest Guard

Such a scale and degree of Dragon Nest Guard probably wasn’t inferior to the High Elves’ original Magic Enigma Lock.

"Fly this way, for the customs inspection, otherwise it will trigger the Dragon Nest Guard’s alert and anti-aircraft attacks," Attilicia advised.

David found it preposterous. "...Coming home requires a customs inspection? Just how paranoid are you Metal Dragons about getting your homes robbed?"

Dragon dad Attilicia just spread his claws and said, "Who’s to blame when we Silver Dragons love transforming into humanoid species and causing trouble all over the place? At least a third of the treasures on this island were spoils obtained in this manner. When you commit theft often, you naturally fear others using the same methods against you."

"Oh..." The three hatchling whelps tied around David’s neck seemed to have learned something.

This was also the most unfairly Dragon Island had ever been maligned in its history.

As he spoke, dragon dad Attilicia also gave David a peculiar look—it was, of course, to guard against individuals like David who could mimic others.

However, this time, David was determined not to bother disguising himself as a Silver Dragon; he could almost anticipate what would unfold shortly.

And as dragon dad Attilicia led the way down to the customs landing pad on the southeast corner of the island, the two Silver Dragons in charge of the customs inspection could hardly believe their eyes.

"Yo!!! Isn’t this our Flower of Dragon Island, the Silver Dragon Princess—Lady Attilicia! Are you back to visit relatives..."

But before they could finish their slightly teasing, not-so-ill-meant banter, David, the Red Dragon, carrying his sister and three ’yellow-green-red’ tri-colored dragon whelps, crashed to the ground with a BOOM, kicking up clouds of dust.

"..." The two Silver Dragon guards stood silent for a long while. Looking at David’s blood-red color, then at the smiling Attilicia, they seemed to recall certain rumors. Finally, like startled cats, they took off, flapping their wings and flying unsteadily toward Dragon Island, all the while screaming warnings at the top of their lungs,

"Red Dragon!"

"The Second Scarlet Calamity!"

"Landing on the island!!!"

"..." The hatchlings that had been playing in the waterfalls around Dragon Island all bolted, leaving none behind.

For a moment, David and dragon dad Attilicia, left standing alone at the now unguarded customs, just looked at each other.

It seemed he had underestimated his own infamy.

But David thought, I’m not legendary.

What he didn’t realize was that he might be the first in thousands of years since the establishment of Dragon Island

to officially set foot on Dragon Island as a...

Five-colored Evil Dragon!
