Chapter 336 Follow Me

?The following day, Scarlett checked her subordinates with Lexie and Layla.

She was pleasantly surprised when she found out that her subordinates had broken through to the next level.

Like Scarlett, her subordinates were also thrilled when they knew that she had regained consciousness.

Nightshire City would not be complete without Scarlett because she was the city mistress of Nightshire City.

That was why her subordinates immediately surrounded her when they saw her.

"City mistress, we really miss you."

"Thank god, you have regained consciousness, city mistress."

"City mistress, many things happened when you were unconscious."

"City mistress, we have killed Aidan's subordinates."

"That's right."

"The citizens are currently torturing him."

Due to how happy they were, they could not control themselves and talked to her at the same time.

Scarlett only smiled at them because she knew their personalities. "Good job protecting our city in my absence, everyone."

"We did our best, city mistress." They said in unison.

After talking with her subordinates for several minutes, Scarlett went home.

----

The following day, Scarlett gathered her people in the city square. Unlike usual, she scolded her people with sharp words.

She was unhappy with the way they looked at Ace or the way they treated Ace.

Ace was their hero.

He had saved them and their city many times, yet their behavior toward him changed when he turned into a dragon as if he had never done anything to them or their city.

After getting scolded by Scarlett, they apologized to Ace one by one. They said they never hated him because he had saved their lives many times.

They could not act normally because the current Ace made them remember Dezmavas.

After solving the problem between Ace and the residents, Scarlett took him to the backyard and chatted with him there.

Ace was pleased because Scarlett's behavior did not change. The happiness within him grew bigger because Valeria regained consciousness when they talked in the backyard.

Like Scarlett, Valeria's behavior was still the same.

She still loved him.

She was only shocked when she found out everything.

However, she accepted everything immediately because no matter what body shape he had, Ace was still Ace.

He was her lover.

Nothing would change that.

"Scarlett is indeed the best." Ace praised Scarlett because he could stroll around the city again.

'But what should I do now?'

He had just finished chatting with his underlings, so he did not know what to do.

'Should I check the progress of the construction of my house and restaurant?'

He shook his head immediately.

'No, no. I think it's better to go to the entrance gate and chat with Captain Noah. Yes. I will just chat with them.'

With that idea in mind, Ace walked toward the entrance gate.

"Ace…"

"Ace…"

"Ace…"

The city guards greeted him when they caught sight of him.

"What are you doing here, Ace?" Captain Noah inquired.

"Nothing. I just want to chat with you guys." Ace gave an honest answer. "How is it? Did someone come looking for me again?"

"No one has been looking for you since we killed many awakeners at the Grandmaster rank." Captain Noah believed the news about them killing many awakeners at the Grandmaster rank had spread throughout the Luvrela region.

That was why awakeners at the Grandmaster rank and below did not dare to challenge Ace because it was the same as digging their own graves.

"What a shame! I thought I would get a lot of money again." Ace uttered.

"Haha." Captain Noah and the others laughed loudly.

"You seem to be starting to enjoy being a fugitive, Ace." The red-haired man uttered.

"Well, I make a lot of money because of that, so I don't completely hate it." Ace responded.

"Haha." The city guards laughed again.

"By the way, where is General Valeria? I heard she had regained consciousness." The blue-haired man uttered.

"She is in the Rainbow Pool right now." Ace responded. "She did not want to lose to her subordinates, so she wanted to break through to the Grandmaster rank as quickly as possible."

"I see." they finally knew the reason why Valeria did not meet them after regaining consciousness.

As they were chatting, a red-haired man uttered,

"Captain Noah, Lieutenant Alex, and the others are in danger." The red-haired man said as he ran toward them.

"Lieutenant Alex and the others are in danger?" Captain Noah said in surprise. "What's going on?"

"Magical beasts are attacking them again." The red-haired man began explaining everything.

He said thirty magical beasts attacked the residents on duty to collect wood. Three of them were at 3-star while the rest were at 2-star.

Lieutenant Alex was only at the Master rank while his subordinates were at the Elite rank, so they needed help to kill these magical beasts.

"Half of you follow me." Captain Noah uttered.

Before Captain Noah left, Ace stopped him. "Captain Noah, just stay here and guard the entrance gate. I will deal with them."

"Alright." Captain Noah agreed instantly.

After Captain Noah opened a portion of the barrier, Ace flew toward the forest. He flew as fast as he could because he did not want them to die.

As Ace was flying toward Framingburns forest, Lieutenant Alex was fighting two magical beasts.

He did not have the upper hand in the fight because his enemies were already at 3-star.

"Protect the citizens! Don't let these damn magical beasts get close to them." after saying that, Lieutenant Alex rushed toward the 3-star koala and 3-star rhinoceros.

"Kill them all!" the 3-star bear roared.

"Protect the citizens!" the city guards held their weapons firmer, trying to protect the citizens.

"Roar…" twenty-eight magical beasts jumped at the city guards.

But before they could attack the city guards, their bodies froze, causing them to fall to the ground.

The city guards were startled and lifted their heads.

"It's Ace!"

"Ace is saving us again!"

"Ace!"

The city guards were pleased when they saw Ace flying and shooting ice from his mouth.

"What?! A dragon?" the 3-star koala and 3-star rhinoceros were shocked when they saw a dragon attacking their subordinates.

They wanted to ask why Ace attacked their subordinates.

They were from the same race.

Ace should help them, not kill their subordinates.

But before they could throw a question at Ace, they were frozen by Ace.

"Ace…!"

"Luckily, you arrived on time, Ace."

"That's right."

The city guards immediately surrounded him.

"Are there any casualties?" Ace inquired.

"No." the red-haired man responded, "But some of us are injured."

"Then the injured ones should go ba-" before Ace had finished his words, Scarlett's voice rang out.

"Are you guys alright?" after throwing a question at them, she jumped down from her horse.

"City mistress, we are alright." Lieutenant Alex responded, "There are no fatalities. It's just that some of us are injured."

"Then go back to the city guard headquarters and ask healing mages to treat your injuries." Scarlett then ordered Captain Lia to check the citizens.

"Understood." Lieutenant Alex and the others responded in unison.

Scarlet shifted her gaze from her subordinates to Ace. "Ace, follow me."

"Hmm?" Ace did not know why she suddenly wanted him to follow her.

But even so, he did what he was told.

After they were in a quiet place, Scarlett told him to sit under a big tree.

Like before, he did what he was told without asking a question.

To his surprise, Scarlett suddenly sat on the ground with her back leaning against his body.

"It turns out there are benefits to having a dragon as a lover." She said after leaning her body on his.

The corner of his lips twitched.

'This woman. Is she teasing me right now?'

He did not expect her to say something like that.

Of course, he was not angry at her.

Instead, he was happy because she could still accept him.

She even still acted normally as if he was not a dragon, but a human like her.

"Let's stay here so that we can protect the citizens if magical beasts attack them again." Scarlett did not go back immediately.

She was in a coma for more than a month, so she wanted to make up for the time she could not be with him.

"Now that you are talking about magical beasts, I suddenly thought of something." Ace uttered.

"Thought of something? What is it?" she asked curiously.

Instead of answering her question, he suddenly asked, "Scarlett, how about I conquer this forest?"
