Chapter 280: Chapter 270: Volcano Dragon

"If we fail, we will be counting on you, Madam Ariel, to save us."

In an inn at Rus City, Chris stood calmly by the window, maintaining his usual silence.

While Byrne smiled at the woman sitting at the table, hidden within a red cloak, his tone betraying reverence.

Ariel sat there, pondering for a moment, before looking at them impatiently and saying:

"Do you really have to kill that black dragon? And you insist on not needing my help throughout the process?"

"Yes."

Byrne nodded firmly.

"Both the former and the latter are matters on which our Fischer family insists."

"Stars Mortal" Ariel, an important member of the Romann family, had come to assist Chris and Byrne in fulfillment of an interfamily alliance.

According to Byrne, the Monarch inheritance that Chris had received could only be assured through killing.

Their chosen victim was a very odd black dragon, an archenemy of the Fischer family, responsible for the deaths of people important to Byrne's father, Lucius.
