Chapter 54

"Tap tap tap..."

Im did not speak immediately. She turned around and stepped back up the stairs, walked to the top of the stairs, and sat on the Void Throne.

"What do you think has enabled the World Government to stand firm for eight hundred years? It has relied on the principle that those who are not of our kind must have different hearts. We have always kept the core of power firmly in our hands, in the hands of us Celestial Dragons."

Im is right about this; for eight hundred years, true power has always been in the hands of the Celestial Dragons.

Even if someone else has a high record or great achievements, there is a limit to their power.

The reason why world governments have been able to stand for eight hundred years is largely due to this.

After a few seconds of pause, Im's voice resounded throughout the entire hall once again.

"And now you're asking me this? What, have you gotten old and become senile?"

Every word Im uttered seemed to possess a magical power, causing the Five Elders to tremble with fear.

"I'm sorry! Lord Im, that's not what we meant."

The five old men lowered their heads, not daring to look directly at Im.

"I don't care what you mean, as I said before, I only care about the result."

Im's words clearly indicated that he agreed with the Five Elders' approach.

“Yes, Lord Im, we will absolutely not let you down. In the future, besides us, there will be another person, Bernard Is, who will serve you directly,” the bald old man said calmly.

"If someone is only strong in combat but not very quick-witted, they don't need to serve me directly. Understand?" Im instructed.

"Yes!"

"Go back!"

"Yes!"

The Five Elders slowly rose, but instead of straightening their backs, they bent over and retreated a certain distance before turning around and closing the door of the main hall.

Gazing at the Five Elders' disappearing figures, Im murmured to himself, "Bernard Is... Hmm... Yes, it's been a long time since I've heard of something like this."

Meanwhile, on Is's side...

The battle between Is and Acnologia has ended.

Because if the fighting continues, this backyard will be completely ruined.

"You two...sigh, I really don't know what to say. You're both getting on in years, can't you just give us a break?"

Tornado looked at the uneven backyard, then at the cracks in the city wall caused by the damage, and muttered something.

“Damn it, this is definitely a quality issue, don’t you think, Acnologia?” Is asked from the side.

“Hmm…yes, Is is right. If we hadn’t sparred, we wouldn’t have discovered that our castle has a quality problem. We need to investigate it thoroughly.” Acnologia quickly nodded and added.

Tornado and Madara Uchiha stared speechlessly at Is and Madara.

"In that case, we should praise you two." Tornado said, hands on her hips, looking sullen.

"No need for that, it's only right," Is said with a faint smile.

"Is!!!!"

If Tornado weren't currently floating in mid-air, she probably would have stomped her feet in anger at Is.

Seeing Tornado in this state, Is laughed even harder, explaining, "Alright, I'll arrange for someone to come and fix it later."

Just as these words were spoken, Rhodes Minian came out of the castle and came to Is's side, and she said softly.

"Master, Saint Dorak has come to pay a visit."

"Dorak?"

Easton paused for a moment. This guy came to see him, probably because he had brought some good stuff from the auction.

“Yes, Master, if you don’t want to see me, I will go and refuse,” Rhodes Minian replied.

“No, I’ll go see them. Madara, Tornado, Acnologia, you guys go change your clothes, we’re going downstairs for a walk,” Is instructed.

The main reason was that the backyard was in such a dilapidated state that training could no longer continue. Since there was nothing else to do in the castle, Is thought he would go down for a stroll.

Upon hearing that they were going down to play, Tornado's anger immediately dissipated, and a smile appeared on her face.

“Lady Tornado, Lady Acnologia, as you instructed last time, your clothes have been custom-made. Please follow me,” Rose Minnian reminded them.

"Alright, Is, you wait for me at the door."

With that, Tornado and Acnologia followed Rose Minnian to change their clothes.

As for Madara Uchiha, he was a rather casual person, so he didn't go to have a suit tailored to him and wore a suit as usual.

····

Upon arriving at the door, Is was quite surprised. He had originally thought that there would only be one Dorak, but unexpectedly, there were several other Celestial Dragons besides him.

Their procession was quite grand, with each person riding a slave and pulling several others behind them, including both men and women.

In addition, each Celestial Dragon is also assigned a World Government official and several bodyguards selected from the Navy.

Of course, these are not standard features; the bodyguards were hired separately through the World Government.

"Issan, it's been a long time."

The moment Dorak saw Is, he grinned.

Ignoring the other Celestial Dragons, Is smiled faintly and said, "Another decent lot has arrived at the auction?"

"Haha, Issain really understands me. I heard this time it's even better than the last one. I'm already tired of what I bought before, so let's go for a change. Shall we go together? I don't think you'll refuse me, will you?" Dorak asked.

Just as he finished speaking, Tatsumaki, Acnologia, and Madara Uchiha stepped out.

The Tornado-made outfit was similar to her previous ones, featuring long beards, except this time it wasn't slit.

Anyway, Is thinks that she looks much better now than before, and even has a cuter feel to it.

Is had specific requirements regarding Tornado's clothing; it couldn't be too revealing. But... as for Acnologia, Is didn't say anything.

When he came out, Is almost burst out laughing.

Good heavens, he changed back into the clothes he wore when he first came to this world.

However, this one looks a bit newer.

"I'm still more comfortable in these clothes."

Chapter 55

"Cough cough."

Is coughed a few times, his smile fading, and then said to Acnologia, "It's alright, as long as you like it."

As he spoke, he looked at Dorak and continued, "Let's go, let's set off."

Dokra paused slightly, scrutinized Is, and then asked with certainty, "Saint Is, you...you're just going to set off like this???"

Is looked around at himself and, apart from not wearing the Celestial Dragons' signature bubble headgear and clothes today, he didn't feel anything was wrong.

"Do I need to prepare anything else?" Is asked back.

"Are you sure you're not going out in formal attire? And without slaves???"

"My clothes are formal attire. As for the slaves, we've known each other for a while now, so you know them best. I never ride those kinds of things."

"Alright, alright, whatever you like, Saint Issa."

Dorak didn't say much, after all, he wasn't the type to meddle in other people's business.

“This is not right, Saint Issa. What you are doing will damage the reputation of us Celestial Dragons. We are descendants of the Creator. If you continue like this, you will be affected by the bad luck of those lowly people.”

One of the Celestial Dragons behind Dorak spoke confidently.

“Yes, now that you are a hero to us Celestial Dragons, you should set an example, Saint Issa!” another Celestial Dragon added.

"what?"

Hearing this, Is couldn't help but laugh: "A hero of the Celestial Dragons? When did I become a hero of the Celestial Dragons?"

"You were the one who drove away those lowly pirates during the battle of Mary Geoise. Now you even have the title of a guardian deity," Dorak reminded him from the side.

"Stop, stop..."

"Excuse me, I think you've misunderstood something?"

"I chased him only because he angered me, so don't overthink it. I had no intention of saving you."

"Besides, I can do whatever I want and wear whatever I want."

Is didn't stand on ceremony with them, since he didn't need to be mindful of their opinions.

On the contrary, Is prayed that they would rather not waste their time getting involved with him.

He might have had some reservations before, but now he has none.

Of course, it's not because he's become arrogant just because he has some ability, but because the World Government doesn't care about this at all.

They are simply older generation Celestial Dragons who forcibly impose their own ideologies on others.

Therefore, now that Is has the ability, there is no need for him to comply.

“Is...Is Saint, what you said is a bit too much…” Dorak reminded him.

Is patted him on the shoulder: "Don't worry, except for you."

He didn't know what the others were thinking, but he was quite happy. At least he felt that his friendship with Is was genuine.

"Alright, Saint Issain, that's enough. Let's go."

As for the other Celestial Dragons, their expressions were undoubtedly extremely unpleasant.

"That bastard Issain!!!"

One of the Celestial Dragons cursed inwardly, but didn't say it aloud.
