Rise Of The Dragon Emperor-Chapter 103 Testing Ronan

” As for why I’m here…. it’s for your brother , Ronan Draco the golden thunder user “. Shakuni said as he smiled at Percy , as the entire Draco family went silent.

The worst fears of the Draco’s were coming to life as the world order protector was indeed inside Avalon to look for Ronan , and he knew exactly what Ronan’s powers were too.

Prime minister Leif was not privy to the information that Ronan was actually a forbidden elemental user , hence he was shocked to hear about it , only moment ago in the infirmary he had seen Ronan use normal thunder attack as the boy yelped in joy .

Hence he was thoroughly confused at what was going on , but being the smartest person in the room he decided to take advantage of the confusion and mix truth with lies to confuse everyone else too.

Leif said ” Pardon the intrusion my king …. sir protector , but i think you have made a slight mistake in your timing to meet our lovely second prince as he has just recovered from coma and is not in a position to meet visitors.

I think i misheard u say his power to be golden thunder … well let me assure you that I have seen the second prince use normal thunder attacks with my very own eyes and unless he is a thunder and golden thunder dual user , which as you know is impossible as nobody can wield a forbidden and a superior element dually . Then you sir , must be under a false impression”.

Shakuni raised an eyebrow hearing the eloquent use of words by Leif as his evaluation of the man went up by a notch. Not many could answer him like Leif had just done , however he was not a balancer who needed to think twice before confirming his suspicions when facing a king like Alexander , as should he chose so then the entirety of Avalon could become a chapter in history within few hours.

Shakuni chuckled as he said ” So , i see you have gained a lot from the ancient ruins exploration that I sent you on , brave king. Not bad , you have the temperament of a true warrior . I am impressed.

I assume you must have given the ring to your son then , which was the reason for his coma … but him awakening? now this is something new … , it just makes me have to meet him that much more “..

Percy was shocked to hear that it was shakuni who directed Alexander on that exploration that he went on for a few years.

He had no idea that his father was working for someone from the world order . This was news for him.

Alexander on the other hand stroked his moustache as he said ” Yes , thankyou for the information … my son is cured because of it. He no longer wields the forbidden “.

Everyone in the room sucked a breath of cold air , as Alexander openly admitted to Ronan being a forbidden elemental user infront of a world order protector.

With both his hands on his two swords , Alexander waited for Shakuni’s reaction .

Shakuni only smiled in response as he said ” Well if he is cured then i think that there was some error in the information we recieved… nobody can be cured of posessing a forbidden elemental affinity right?

It must be a tactical error on our end. Please accept this token as the apology from the world order “.

Saying so shakuni snapped his fingers as heaps of gold and precious jewels appeared inside the room , filling the entire royal court.

It was easily atleast 5 years worth of tax revenue of Avalon , if not more and shakuni only casually brought it out as compensation.

The effect was two-fold

1) It was to pacify the animosity of the Draco family towards him as he was here for a friendly visit.

2)It showed that he was not here to hurt Ronan and that whatever happened in the past had not happened at all.

and the effect was as desired as Alexander loosened the grip on his sword.

If the fact that shakuni represented the world order could be ignored , he was actually a highly respectable warrior who the Draco’s would host as the highest honor guest at their table.

It was just that the circumstances regarding his entry being dodgy that the reception he got was so cold.

Waving his hands Alexander said ” Your compensation is accepted .. sir shakuni , Avalon is happy to have you here “.

Leif breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Alexander say this as the tension in the room had became thick enough to cut by a knife at that point.

Shakuni said ” Thankyou brave king , you have an excellent elder son , great physique , great eyesight and good discipline as well.

You have educated him well .

I wonder if the second one is the same? “.

Alexander picked up on the cue as he looked at Percy and said ” Get your brother here … dont let your mother near here , understand? “.

Percy looked at shakuni suspiciously but he had full faith in his father hence he obediently nodded his head and took his leave from the room at once.

Augustus looked at Shakuni and said ” Well all of my children are extraordinary. It’s insulting for you to question their callibre “.

Leif felt like he would spit a mouthful of blood at this moment as he looked incredulously at Augustus.

The man had absolutely no fear of death at all , as he spoke as he liked to whom he liked whenever he liked.

Even infront of the strongest human alive his pride over his children would not let any outsider question them as he openly admonished shakuni .

However shakuni only laughed it off , as he said ” Yes , i envy you …. Although you are younger than me , you have managed to create something magnificent in your household.

You have my heartfelt respect , sir Augustus “.

Augustus’s chest swelled in pride as his evaluation of shakuni improved. the man acknowledged his family and that instantly turned him to mush inside as he fell silent.

When Ronan finally entered the room , all eyes were on him as he locked eyes with shakuni . It was a cold and emotionless glare with a bit of a challenge inside it as he tested the depths of Shakuni’s power.

Shakuni on the other hand analysed Ronan objectively as he saw him in a completely different light than any other man on Everlon.

He looked at Ronan’s bone structure and thought it was heavy and thick as it showed that he was trained and fed well as a kid with strenuous training strengthening them from a young age.

His level being 101 came as a shock , as a 13 year old ascended was something that even he had never heard of in his long life and knowing that he had spent most of those years alone and without proper resources , it was incredible for him to be this high levelled.

His muscles were toned and elastic . It seemed like Ronan was thorough with his training as his muscles were not visible in their relaxed state but the moment he constricted them for movement they showed a toned and taught look that was perfectly trained.

His body seemed to contain a very high concentration of elemental energy too and it seemed like his natural reserves of power were very very high.

Ronan’s eyes were sharp as he was not intimidated to be in the presence of shakuni , there was a bit of a challenge inside them , as if he was taunting shakuni to do something and declaring that he was not scared of him.

A ring adorned his right thumb and it was the same ring that did not even recognise shakuni as it’s master , but it seemed like it had chosen this kid.

With a positive first impression , shakuni started to unleash some of his aura to supress Ronan as he washed him over with his strength.

Shakuni would often do this to chose disciples , and most would be shocked when they felt the enormity of his powers and kneel or beg to let go , but not Ronan .

His glare intensifying his initial challenge changed to naked animosity as he stood his ground and glared at shakuni in disgust.

For Shakuni , this was a new look to see in someone’s eyes as usually children of around Ronan’s age would beg him to take them in as a disciple , never once had a brat looked at him with hatred like Ronan did at this moment.

Intrigued , he let his pressure off , as Ronan silently swallowed a mouthful of blood without letting it show on his face.

Never breaking eye-contact or being dazzled by the wealth in the room he took his place beside his father as he awaited his instructions.

/// Guys tommorow will be a 2 chapter day . I have finally got enough time to do a bonus. So hopefully you all enjoy as shakuni and Ronan interact for the first time ever. ///
