69 Oh no, I'm surrounded by baby dragons! (Bonus Chapter)

"Oh shit."

Adam coughed up a mouthful of blood, but his right eye, which had just been shot by Rebecca, could still barely see people nearby.

He looked at Leon and said weakly,

"Today I've fallen into the hands of a lowly human like you. Kill me however you want!"

From the day he became a mercenary who did things for money, this ending was already destined.

Adam never expected to be defeated by a human.

The reason he said "How do you want to kill me?" is that in the past, when dealing with some mission targets, he usually used torture methods, making the targets wish they were dead, and never giving them a quick death.

So, on his deathbed, he subconsciously assumed that Leon would treat him this way.

Leon naturally understood the meaning behind his words, and then chuckled.

"I never advocate torturing the dying. Don't confuse me with a despicable fellow like you."

General Leon always gave his opponents a quick and decisive victory.

You're right, aren't you, Lao Kang?

"Hmph... human beings, mercy to the enemy is cruelty to oneself." Even on his deathbed, Adam couldn't resist spouting his sharp tongue.

"Hey, don't be in such a hurry. Although I'm a bit kind-hearted, the person I brought along is ruthless."

"What—ah!!"

Before Adam could react, he felt a sharp pain in his right eye.

Blood kept flowing from his eyes, as if someone had poured sulfuric acid on them; it was both sour and painful.

"My eyes... my eyes!!"

This time, he's completely blind.

But that's not the end.

Adam, who had been shouting and yelling, suddenly lost his voice.

Constantine used his dragon claws to slit his throat, thick blood blocking his trachea, and all that could be heard was a muffled wail.

"Ugh!! Ugh!!!!"

Unable to release the intense pain by screaming, Adam began to wildly flailing his arms and legs uncontrollably.

But Constantine then mercilessly crushed the joints of his shoulders and thighs, leaving the monster with only his neck and above able to move.

Leon watched this scene in silence, and although he never tortured or killed his enemies, he felt no disgust at this moment.

Such a despicable and shameless person deserves to end up like this.

Soon after, Adam fell silent.

The broken Dragon King's body leaned against the boulder, his breathing weak and his heartbeat fading.

"Don't mind if I take this beast back with me," Constantine said in a deep voice.

Leon understood the Dragon Race's obsession with revenge, and he didn't think that blinding Adam and breaking his hands and feet would appease Constantine.

"Hmm, do as you please."

Learning from past mistakes, we must not keep the enemy's corpses in Leon and Losweiser's house.

The dragon head that used to hang on their front door has now become a super Frankenstein's monster, jumping around next to them in revenge.

If Adam were to transform into something even more powerful, Leon would be in for a real headache.

So having Lao Kang bring this guy to his place and torture him day and night is a good decision.

"I'm going to find Noa and Helena."

Leon said something and turned to walk in the direction Rebecca and the others had just left.

As he approached the cave, he saw a group of children and several teachers helping Noa and Helena emerge from the cave entrance.

"Noa!"

Leon called out his daughter's name with concern and immediately ran over.

He jogged to his daughter, knelt down, placed his hands on her thin shoulders, and wiped the dust and blood from her face.

Her round little face was full of fatigue.

But the moment Noa saw Leon, the gloom in her eyes vanished, replaced by pride and self-confidence.

"Dad... I held out until reinforcements arrived... Aren't I... amazing?"

General Leon looked at the pitiful little thing, covered in dust.

Even though she was exhausted, she still asked for praise. The old father's heart softened, and he was just one step away from bursting into tears.

However, with so many people around, it wasn't easy for Leon to vent his emotions excessively, so he could only hold back his tears and hug his daughter.

"You're amazing, Noa, you're the best."

Noa's eyelids grew heavier and her consciousness gradually blurred. "That's good... Dad... I want to... I want to sleep for a while."

"Noa? Noa?"

Leon called out twice with some concern.

The school doctor, who was assessing the students, said, "Noa is fine. She just overused her strength. She just needs to rest for a few days."

Leon was relieved, squeezed his daughter's little hand, and then held her in his arms.

Feeling her father's strong and reliable chest, Noa finally fell asleep peacefully.

"I'm so sorry, Mr. Leon, we didn't know the Warhammer Dragon King was here. If Christina hadn't returned in time to inform us that Noa and Helena were in danger, I'm afraid—"

A teacher quickly came up to apologize.

Leon glanced at him, neither mentioning forgiveness nor being aggressive.

After all, no one wants such an accident to happen.

"Are there people from your academy at the southwest entrance of the forest? Adam severely injured them before sneaking in. When I came, they were still barely alive; going now might still save their lives."

"Thank you, Mr. Leon. Let's go take a look!"

"Yes."

Leon watched the school doctors' hurried figures, still puzzled:

On their way here, he and Rebecca encountered the gruesome death of the Steel Rock Mammoth, and deep in this forest, he saw many other dangerous creatures whose deaths were equally horrific.

Without a doubt, Adam did all of this.

But was Adam only there for the purpose of simple torture and killing?

Or... is there another purpose?

Perhaps the focus of the next investigation could be on this—

"Uncle Casmod! He's so handsome!"

"Uncle, could you sign your name for me and my brother? We're from the Golden Sand Dragon race, Your Majesty Morgan says you're his best buddy!"

"Uncle, I want an autograph too!"

"..."

Leon:?

"Wait a minute, wait a minute, uncle, I'm not a celebrity, there's no need for an autograph..."

In an instant, the children swarmed around Leon.

The teacher, standing behind the children and carrying the unconscious Helena on her back, said with a smile,

"Adam has been committing evil deeds among my people for many years, and no one can do anything about him. Today, Mr. Leon has stepped forward to help us. It is no exaggeration to call him hero of the Dragon race. He is far more than just a 'celebrity'."

Oh no, I've become Dragon Hero again, haven't I?

How come I'm a hero every single day?!

"Mr. Leon, please don't refuse. It's a good thing that the children admire you."

Oh no, I'm surrounded by baby dragons!

No.

No, no, no.

Even though Leon is socially awkward and loves children, he couldn't stand dozens of little dragons vying for his autograph.

What did the teacher just say?

Good news?

Yes, that's good news.

"Noa, Dad teach you another life lesson: good things should be shared with good friends."

He whispered to Noa, who had already fallen into a deep sleep, then put on a smiling face and looked at the children.

"Taking down the bad guys this time wasn't just my achievement alone."

"Huh? There are other experts?"

"Certainly!"

Leon gestured with his chin towards Old Kang, "The other hero deserves even more credit, shall we go ask him for his autograph?"

"Great! Let's go! I want to be the first to sign!"

The children rushed over there eagerly.

Constantine remained there, gazing at the dying Adam, calming his own feelings of having avenged his great enemy.

Suddenly, I heard the voices of children coming from not far away.

He turned his head and saw a group of baby dragons running towards him, shouting things like, "Great hero, please sign your name!"

A hint of speechlessness flickered across Lao Kang's serious face.

Looking up again, he saw Leon standing there, grinning foolishly at him.

I get it, you were the one who orchestrated everything!

"Fael".

Boom--

The Ironwing Dragon King Falling from the sky and landed smoothly behind Constantine.

"Take this beast away, don't let the children see it."

"Yes, senior."

Fael picked up Adam's body and flew away from the spot.

A moment later, the children also ran up to Constantine.

"It's actually... the Crimson Flame Dragon King...!"

"My Daddy said he's really fierce... Maybe... maybe we should go back and find Uncle Leon..."

"..."

The little ones were clearly still a bit afraid of Constantine.

Even though they are heroes who appear in textbooks, it is inevitable that children will feel uncomfortable if they meet them face to face.

"Where is he fierce? Uncle Constantine is just not good at smiling, right?"

An annoying voice rang out beside me.
