Battle of Ascension

Chapter 159: Crack in Dragon Dynasty?

Zhang Hao's hands were on the table, he bowed his head toward Zhen Yi and apologized to her. Zhang Hao sudden action caught Zhen Yi unprepared.

Even though she didn't know much about this smiling man, but her best friend told her that to get far away as possible from this man. Long Xinya categorized Zhang Hao as a dangerous man even with her background.

Long Xinya told her that this man had a high pride and there was no one that he didn't dare to offend. Of course, Zhang Hao was smart enough and would not look a trouble for people like Long Tianyu.

Even so, it didn't mean that he didn't dare to offend Long Xinya despite he avoided her father. But, the man the one so-called dangerous was apologizing with her. That was also a trifling matter, too.

Thinking here, Zhen Yi looked at her husband which had an indifferent expression as he looked at Zhang Hao.

'Is it possible for him to make this proud man apologize to her?'

Noticing his wife looked at him, Randy turned his head to his wife. The indifferent expression changed into a smile.

But she could not help but felt annoyed. Randy called her only for this trifling matter. If she didn't come here and went hunting, surely she already killed over ten Giant Ants. But her heart warmed nonetheless.

But still, she only felt warm inside as her expression was still calm and collected.

"So, you called only for this? This is wasting time, I prefer to go hunting," Zhen Yi grumbled at Randy.

Zhang Hao which was bowing his head. He could still hear what Zhen Yi said. Anger bubbled inside, but he didn't show it on the surface. He still did the same posture, waiting for Zhen Yi's answer.

Inside his heart, he cursed Zhen Yi. He, the next family head of Zhang Family, for the first time apologized to the unknown woman. Yet, the woman said it was wasting time.

Nevertheless, Zhang Hao reminded himself that behind there was a family that needed to protect. Whatever the price was, as long as the monster in the front didn't become his enemy, it was worth.

Zhang Hao didn't know, but since the final of Ascension Tournament, fear and terror born inside his heart each time he remembered about the fight and Randy.

Even Long Tianyu could not give him this kind of feeling, fear, and terror. Even though he knew that he was no match for Long Tianyu, but he didn't feel fear. But somehow, that fear appeared after the final, the fight between him and Randy.

Zhen Yi looked at her husband before finally looked back Zhang Hao. She didn't know what to say as there was nothing need to be forgiven. If Zhang Hao didn't come here and apologized to her, she won't remember that even at East Auction House.

"All right," Nevertheless, she accepted the apology of Zhang Hao. There was no need for her to say unnecessary words. She wanted this meeting end as soon as possible, she wanted to go hunting.

Hearing her wife forgiven Zhang Hao easily, Randy's mouth twitched. He knew what in Zhen Yi's mind was. She wanted to go hunting as soon as possible.

Zhang Hao lifted his head up after Zhen Yi accepted his apology, smiling back to his usual self. At least, Zhen Yi didn't make difficult like what Randy did, yesterday. But soon, his smile stiffened, hearing Randy's next word.

"Tsk, yesterday, you just leveled up to level 70. Why are you so hurry for hunting now? It's just a matter of time before you catch to number one," Randy commented.

Zhang Hao froze, so the reason Zhen Yi accepted his apology was that she wanted to go hunting as soon as possible. She didn't care about in the slightest from the start.

This was the first time he felt humiliated thoroughly, totally humiliated. But what he could do? his purpose came here was to make peace, not a new conflict.

Zhen Yi snorted at Randy's comment. It was him who made her go hunting like this, if he gave her the Primeval Nether Wolf's bloodline, there was no need for her to hunting like this.

There was residual resentment inside her heat after Randy rejected her to have the bloodline. Only limited to resentment though as she didn't blame him.

Randy only shook his head as he looked at his wife pouted away. He focused back his attention to Zhang Hao. When he faced Zhang Hao, his warm smile disappeared while the indifferent expression of his was back.

"So... is there anything else do you want to say?" Randy asked Zhang Hao his calm voice.

Zhang Hao let out a sigh of relief inwardly. He could perceive from Randy tone that Randy would let the matter gone by. At least, Randy didn't harbor grudge at him or his family.

"Ahem ahem, I have a request for you..." Zhang Hao coughed twice before he told Randy his main purpose. But before he finished his words, there was a change in Randy and Zhen Yi's expression.

Randy expression became colder which puzzled Zhang Hao. But soon, he understood why Randy expression was becoming cold, it was because of his words.

He just apologized to both, yet he said there was a request for them which made his apology was not sincere. Randy and Zhen Yi perceive there was an ulterior motive behind his apology.

Zhang Hao cursed himself inwardly. Fortunately, his observation was keen and noticed the change.

"Ahem," Zhang Hao coughed to make thing less awkward before he continued, "I'm sorry, it's not a request but information about Dragon Dynasty. I wanted to inform you something about Dragon Dynasty,"

Sure enough, after changing his words, Zhang Hao noticed there was a change in Randy's expression. Albeit cold but it was less for certain degrees. Zhang Hao let out a sigh of relief inwardly.

He finally tasted how did the taste being in the lower position. He must be careful with his words. In the past, he always on the top, looking down at the people of surrounding him. But now, the role changed and he could not careless like his usual self.

"Don't beat around the bush, just tell what you want to tell," Even though he said those words with indifferent and calm voice, it was only on the surface. Inside, he surprised and eager to know what Zhang Hao wanted to tell him.

'Is Zhang Hao betray Dragon Dynasty to befriend with him?'

Randy immediately denied his wild guess and put that aside. Zhang family was one of the founders of the Dragon Dynasty, it was impossible for the successor of Zhang Family betrayed Dragon Dynasty.

Zhen Yi who had no interest from the start, she was interested when Zhang Hao mentioned he wanted to inform about the Dragon Dynasty.

"Ahem," Zhang Hao didn't forget to cough first before telling what he wanted to say, "As you know, Dragon Dynasty founded by seven families as the core member. But, the Dragon Dynasty's forces divided by the seven families. Each family control their own force, even for Guild Leader or Vice Leader has no right to command all Dragon Dynasty's forces without the permit from each family,"

Randy disappointed hearing this. This information was an open secret as all people in the East City already knew about this. But to his surprised Zhang Hao didn't stop and continued.

"I know there is a conflict between you and Long Family," Speaking here, Zhang Hao looked at Zhen Yi, the source of the conflict before continuing, "So, if in the future war erupted between you and Long Family, I hope you don't take the Dragon Dynasty as your target,"

Somehow Randy knew what Zhang Hao wanted to tell him, but he feigned didn't understand what Zhang Hao's mean.

"So, if I'm not targeting the Dragon Dynasty, who shall become my target? Long Family is part of Dragon Dynasty, right? Do you mean I have to let the Dragon Dynasty do what they please toward me and my guild!!?" Randy pretended to be angry to dig more info from Zhang Hao's mouth as what he told him early was ambiguous.

Zhang Hao stunned, he thought by telling those ambiguous words Randy would understand what he meant.

"No no, of course not. What I mean is if war erupted between you and Long Family please don't involve other families from Dragon Dynasty except that family is helping Long Family against you. What I mean is, Dragon Dynasty does not belong to Long Family only, but also the seven families. So, if the war happened between your guild and Long Family, it doesn't mean war between the Dragon Dynasty and Happy Guild,"

Zhang Hao explained patiently, hoping Randy would understand.

"But how do I know if other families are not Involved? You might help the Long Family with your force without me knowing it," Randy understood what Zhang Hao Wanted to tell him. He didn't want to get involved with the conflict between him and Long Family.

"Don't worry about that. Now, the seven families established a branch guild of Dragon Dynasty. My family established Dragon Dynasty (Zhang), likewise the other families. You can differentiate my men from other families as my men are wearing a cloak with Dragon Dynasty emblem, but below the emblem, there is a word "Zhang" Which is mean it's Zhang Family's force. Not only on the cloak but also on the right shoulder," Zhang Hao told Randy with detailed information.

Randy shocked by the information, likewise Zhen Yi.

'Doesn't this mean there is a crack in Dragon Dynasty?'
