Chapter 440: Chapter 268 All Gods Church Investigation

"Uncle."

Seeing the enormous Giant Dragon opposite him, who had proactively reached out, even though the other party hadn’t spoken his request, Uranos had already guessed the intention.

"Uranos, long time no see. What have you been busy with lately?"

Noah looked at the young monarch across from him, whose face was increasingly authoritative. Unlike his father, although the other party had been in power for nearly a century, he still looked young, showing no signs of aging or declining strength. For a Legend, Uranos was excessively youthful.

"Have you made any breakthroughs in your Realm?"

"..."

After the awakening of the Holy Dragon, Uranos, who had actively challenged him, remained silent. At that time, he discovered that fighting with this Dragon uncle could ignite his bloodline, so he visited multiple times afterwards.

But later, he realized that the battles with this uncle only made his blood extremely active, unable to awaken further.

Without the awakening of his bloodline, seeking combat with this Holy Dragon uncle would be a one-sided beating. Although he loved fighting, he didn’t enjoy being beaten.

For Uranos, his path of bloodline had reached its end, with no road ahead, making the questions his uncle asked stab right into his sore spot.

To say the other party did it unintentionally, Uranos wouldn’t believe for a second; it was clearly intentional.

"Uncle, just say what you have to say."

Though he felt somewhat frustrated, the other’s strength and seniority surpassed him, so this Tyrant, known for his ruthless authority externally, could only choose to endure.

"You should be aware of what’s happening in my territory, right?"

"Somewhat aware."

Uranos replied very reservedly.

Not just somewhat aware, in several secret agencies he established, there were intelligence units specifically targeting this Golden Dragon uncle and his governed territory.

"Since you’re aware, then it becomes easier. Order your side to cooperate a bit. Recently, many officials and Nobles have chosen to flee; quite a few of them must have escaped to your side."

Sifreya, the head Fairy who stepped to the forefront, the first Attendant of the Holy Dragon, chose to cut down her own kin first. Not to mention the Great Fairies who were executed, even her old friends were not spared, her iron and ruthless methods truly terrified many officials and Nobles.

If it were just this Dragon Fairy leading the investigation, that would have been one thing. But the problem is the increasing number of Paladins gathering in Elisium City.

Once these Paladins received official status issued personally by this Dragon Fairy, the numerous officials and Nobles, already feeling uneasy, couldn’t sit still any longer. Escape became the first choice of many power holders.

Originally, Noah didn’t quite care about their escape. Three-legged toads might be hard to find, but two-legged officials were everywhere.

But the problem was that these people, already in control of power, gathered too much capital and extraordinary resources; and when they fled, they didn’t forget to take everything they could with them.

This Noah could not tolerate. Against officials and Nobles who left without resigning, abandoning their positions and territories, he issued a warrant of arrest.

Of course, just issuing a warrant was far from sufficient, so Noah now firstly approached his big nephew, demanding his cooperation because more than half of the fleeing power holders had chosen to escape to the Atlas Kingdom.

"You can give me the list. I’ll order the officials below to cooperate in hunting them down, but..."

"But what?"

"Uncle, with all due respect, I just want to clarify in advance. The funds those defecting power holders took with them may not be recovered to the exact amount; there may be some discrepancies with what they carried when they fled!"

"How much discrepancy?"

Noah’s dragon eyes narrowed slightly, hearing clearly his big nephew’s intention to take advantage and skim some benefits from him.

"Perhaps half."

"Half?"

Noah laughed, but a dragon’s smile was a corner-smirking, revealing gleaming white Dragon Teeth. Even a good-natured dragon like a Golden Dragon looked quite intimidating when smiling.

"If that’s the case, then the people I dispatch will have to investigate to the end, to see who exactly wants to embezzle a dragon’s treasure!"

The significance of dragons to their treasure is undeniable; thus, after Noah spoke, Uranos stayed silent for a while,

"Half is indeed too much; perhaps thirty percent will be left behind."

"Thirty percent? Huh, would someone desperate to escape have such a large expenditure?"

Noah sneered, tired of bargaining with this big nephew.

Uranos clearly wanted to take the opportunity from the turmoil in his territory to seize resources from the fleeing power holders.

Holy Dragon Land, though called a territory, in essence, is a kingdom, and not an ordinary one. The great wealth accumulated here, it’s understandable for a King like Uranos, wanting to achieve something, to covet it.

"Not a copper coin less; whatever they took out, I want retrieved in full."

"Uncle, if that’s the case, then my officials won’t be able to cooperate."

Not just unable to cooperate; if it were according to this dragon’s demands, the officials in charge of the chase would even lose money. After all, fleeing Nobles surely incurred expenses, and those expenses also have to be retrieved? What a joke!
