Chapter 304

Leon had no demands for the principal, only hoping she wouldn't be as obsessed with shipping CP as the vice-principal.

Upon arriving at the principal's office, Wilson knocked three times and respectfully said, "Yes, sir."

"Principal Olet, Mr. and Mrs. Melkwy have arrived."

"Yes, please come in."

The vice principal opened the door and led the couple into the office.

"Thank you for your help, Wilson."

Leon looked in the direction of the sound.

Behind the desk was a woman who looked much like Losweiser's grandmother.

However, the true age of Dragon Race cannot be judged by its appearance, so Leon couldn't say for sure how many years the principal in front of him had lived.

She sat there gracefully, a smile on her face, exuding a mature and composed air.

"No trouble at all, Principal."

Wilson became unusually serious. He nodded slightly and said respectfully, "Then you two talk first, I'll go take care of some other work."

"Okay, Wilson."

The vice principal turned and left.

Orlette looked at Leon and Losweiser and gestured for them to sit down.

Losweiser nodded and sat down at the desk with Leon.

Orlette's gaze fell on the two Dragon girl, and she smiled and praised them.

"What an adorable daughter! Are all dragon babies born from the womb?"

"Yes, Principal."

"Hmm, it seems you're not a traditional Dragon race family."

"We're not even entirely Dragon race family, can you believe it? "Leon thought to himself.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Losweiser asked, "Headmaster, we haven't heard from you in so many years, what have you been doing?"

Before answering that question, I'd like to show you something.

As she spoke, Orlette took out a delicate little gift box from her desk drawer.

She pushed the small gift box in front of Losweiser and gently opened it.

Inside was an exquisite necklace.

The pendant on the necklace features a milky-white crystal that sparkles brilliantly in the sunlight.

"This is from your grandmother Veronica Melkwy, who asked me to give it to you as a belated wedding gift."

"A wedding... gift?"

Losweiser didn't quite understand.

She could understand the wedding gift. Although her grandmother Veronica was strict, she had always been good to her and her sister Ischa. When they were little, the two sisters would receive gifts from their grandmother on every important holiday.

She and Leon were very low-key when they "married," and her grandmother only found out later.

So it's not surprising that a wedding gift is being given now.

What really puzzled Losweiser was:

Why would Grandmother ask Principal Olet to pass it on to her?

As far as I can remember, apart from the two sisters who both graduated from the Saint Hiss Academy, the Melkwy family had never had any contact with Principal Olet.

Looking at the exquisite and dazzling pendant necklace, Losweiser's eyes flickered slightly.

"Principal, when did you meet my grandmother?"

After much thought, Losweiser decided it would be best to get straight to the point and ask.

As the principal of the Saint Hiss Academy, Orlette is naturally a figure of absolute neutrality, so Losweiser has no need to beat around the bush with her.

"Hmm... if we're talking about knowing each other, it's been a long time."

Principal Olet smiled and said, "I met Veronica when you were still studying at the Saint Hiss Academy, but at that time it was just a casual acquaintance. Later, through various circumstances, I met your grandmother again on an exploration project in the Far North."

The Far North?

Survey project?

Losweiser had some recollection of these things.

When her grandmother last came back and provided her with information about the Space Dragon King Ravi, she mentioned that Ravi had been active in the Far North for many years, which meant that she was carrying out some kind of exploration project.

However, her grandmother didn't say much, and Losweiser didn't press the matter.

Now that Principal Olet has brought up this so-called survey project again, it has piqued Losweiser's curiosity.

"Principal, have you been operating this... exploration project in the Far North for so many years?" Losweiser asked.

"Yes. It's a huge project, and sometimes we can't come back for several years at a time."

Principal Olet adjusted her glasses and smiled helplessly. "I thought my college would be a mess because of that old rascal Wilson, but I didn't expect him to manage it so well, especially after discovering a genius student like Noa."

The management was very orderly, but instead of doing a good job as vice principal, it incited all teachers and students to become fans of the Mr. and Mrs. Melkwy.

Principal, you're so confused!

Leon listened quietly to his wife's conversation with the principal without interrupting.

He didn't know much about the internal affairs of the Dragon Race, so it was best for him to listen more and say less.

This was one of the little pieces of advice Losweiser gave him when she was teaching him the ways of power and bureaucracy.

Moreover, the "Far North" they spoke of was a region completely inaccessible to humans; it was a place that existed only in historical records.

Leon thought to himself, "I suppose only a tough, thick-skinned lizard like Dragon Race could survive in such a harsh environment."

"The vice principal is indeed... a very good manager, um," Losweiser echoed.

Leon glanced at her.

He knew that when Losweiser said something against her will, she had a habit of adding an "um" at the end of the sentence.

For example:

"Leon, you asked me if I hate you? I hate you to death! Hmm!"

"Leon, your cooking is terrible, really terrible."

"Leon, how could you think I like you? Are you crazy? Yeah, you are crazy."

And so on.

Even though he could tell that his wife was just putting on a show, Leon remained unmoved.

"So what were you surveying in the Far North?" Losweiser asked.

"Something very ancient, so ancient that it doesn't belong to our time."

The principal said, "However, this survey project has now been terminated."

"It's over?"

"Yes." Orlette nodded. "The project's progress requires the assistance of Space Dragon King like Ravi, but this guy seems to be an undercover agent who has infiltrated the exploration team and has been secretly trying to steal our results. Until recently, he suddenly left the Far North, and the next time we heard news of him was during that battle at your Silver Dragon Border."

As she spoke, Orlette's gaze slowly shifted from Losweiser to Leon.

Leon raised an eyebrow, glanced at Orlette, then at Losweiser, and adjusted his posture. "What's wrong, Principal?"

"Although I have only recently returned from the Far North, I have already heard that the Silver Dragon Prince prevented the final spatial rift disaster in Ravi. Some Dragon Race scholars say that if the spatial rift had not been stopped and had been allowed to continue to expand, then the destruction might have been more than just the Silver Dragons."

Orlette looked at Leon approvingly, "So in a way, Mr. Leon, you have saved more Dragon Race."

"..."

It's clearly a compliment, but why does it sound so strange?

The Dragon Slayer saving the Dragon Race... what a living Buddha has appeared in this world!

However, this was not Leon's original intention. He only knew that if he hadn't stopped the rift, his wife and children would have been doomed.

As for saving more Dragon Race...

Fine, let's just consider it an exchange of lives.

Anyway, the number of dragons I indirectly saved that time was probably less than the number of dragons I directly killed before, so say what you will.

"Even without me, someone else will stop the rift, Headmaster," Leon said humbly.

That's what they say.

But if we wait for someone else to stop the spatial rift, it will probably be too late by then.

"Principal, you just said that Ravi might be an undercover agent who infiltrated the exploration team?"

"Yes."

"Do you know who sent that man, Wu Yi?"

Orlette shook her head. "I don't know. But what's certain is that besides Ravi, there are other people in the group with ulterior motives."

Upon hearing this, Leon raised an eyebrow, inwardly thinking:

Principal, your team is full of talent! How many dragons are there in total? Half of them must be undercover agents, right? How about hiring me to help you catch the undercover agents? I'm very good at it.

"After Ravi left, we had to slow down the exploration progress. However, although the pace slowed down, we still achieved considerable results in the end."

Orlette continued, "But before we could even celebrate, Ironwing Dragon King Fael stole a portion of the survey results and disappeared into the unknown."

"Fael ... well, the Ironwing Dragon Clan are about as fast as my Silver Dragon Clan, so they can easily shake off most people who are tracking them," Losweiser said.

"Ugh, this is such a headache."

Orlette paused, as if she were feeling a little down, "Oh, I'll go pour you some tea."

"Oh, this is troublesome, Principal."

"It doesn't matter."

Orlette got up to go find some tea leaves.

Taking advantage of this brief moment, the couple began to plot in hushed tones.

"Do you think this Ironwing Dragon King might also be cooperating with the Human Empire?" Losweiser asked in a low voice.

Leon frowned slightly. "You mean, he stole some of your grandmother's and the others' research findings and then handed them over to the Empire?"

Losweiser nodded. "That's very likely. After all, Ravi is one of the Dragon Kings who cooperated with the Empire, isn't he?"

"Indeed."

Leon's eyes flickered slightly, and he added, "But judging from what Principal Olet said, although she realized that Ravi and Fael were working for a certain organization, she didn't know that this 'organization' was actually the Human Empire."

"Yes, that's right. But if the headmistress knew that Ravi and the others were cooperating with the Empire, she would probably easily deduce that the Silver Dragon Sanctuary has been hiding a human all along."

Losweiser looked at Leon and said, "Because from Constantine to Star, Ravi, and the Dragon Kings like Blaise from a while ago, these guys wouldn't attack the Silver Dragon Sanctuary for no reason. They are definitely for some common purpose. And once it is discovered that the Empire is behind this common purpose, it is not difficult to guess who they are after."

Losweiser's analysis is not without merit and is easy to understand.

To date, very few people know the secret of the Human Empire's clandestine cooperation with the Dragon Race.

If this secret were to be leaked, needless to say, the empire would face utter chaos, which would be the least of their worries.

Even Leon couldn't predict how things would develop, which is why he didn't rashly reveal the conspiracy to the public. Instead, he investigated in secret, hoping to obtain solid evidence and an advantage before he could overthrow the empire's absurd rule in one fell swoop.

As for the Dragon Race, once they learned that Constantine, Ravi, and others were "Dragon traitor" who collaborated with humans, and that they had repeatedly attacked the Silver Dragon Sanctuary, it would not be hard to suspect that the Silver Dragon race also had some kind of relationship with humans.

In this way, not only Leon, but also Losweiser and the children will become the target of the Dragon Race.

General Leon was not afraid; however many dragons came to cause him trouble, he would kill them all.

But his wife and children couldn't.

If something happens to them, what good is Leon's fighting ability?

So in a sense, Leon, the Empire, and those "Dragon traitor" are all in the same boat; self-destruction would benefit no one.

This is a dangerous game, with both sides walking on a narrow tightrope, trying to secure their own foothold while moving the other as far as possible.
