Mountain Southshore base.

In a cozy lounge, two middle-aged men were sipping tea and chatting leisurely.

“I haven’t seen you in a while, Guildmaster Maud. How have you been?” asked a stern man adorned in a military uniform and an epaulet with a gold star.

“We’re old friends, just call me Gavin.” Guildmaster Maud murmured, before downing the tea in his cup.

As a friend, Michelle Roger was unquestionably amiable and dependable in battle, his only shortcoming being his pettiness.

They all agreed to compete fairly back then, but after he won the beauty, he surprisingly enlisted in the military.

Despite many passing years, it seemed that Michelle Roger hadn’t gotten over it yet.

“Have you spotted any promising talents this year?” Wanting to change from the old topic, Gavin Maud steered the conversation anew.

Without any expression, Michelle Roger began faintly, “Waterland City is always like this every year, the beast taming geniuses who choose to join the legion are few and far between. There are no promising talents!”

“Isn’t there a youngster named Jason Giles who has been making quite a name for himself in the Legion recently?”

Gavin Maud smiled and refuted, “Reportedly, as soon as he became a Trainer, he successfully formed a contract with a Molten Hound. The young people these days are really unbelievable!”

The Molten Hound is a formidable pet breed, specifically evolved and rigorously selected by researchers.

It is ferocious yet faithful, obedient to every command of the Trainer. With species level being top-grade elite, it is an exclusive pet of Flowery Kingdom’s legion.

“His talent is just average, I guess,” A faint smile finally flickered across Michelle Roger’s stern face.

Gavin Maud slightly frowned at Michelle Roger after hearing his remark.

Being able to contract a top-grade elite at Arcane Star Class II indicated that the kid’s innate talent was related to the strength of Arcane Star. Such a talent was far better than what they were back then!

“Knock Knock Knock!”

A faint knock on the door.

“Come in.”

Michelle Roger immediately pricked his brows, it seemed something important has appeared.

An aide-de-camp reported, “There’s a Trainer who has just returned from the dungeon. He says he urgently needs to report important news to Guildmaster Maud. His name is David Jones.”

Michelle Roger instantly cast a curious glance at Gavin Maud standing in front of him.

“What did you just say his name was?”

The Aide-de-camp replied, “David Jones.”

“Right, he’s the talented Trainer that I brought along,” Gavin Maud replied with a slight smile.

If he had known that he would make his aide-de-camp repeat the name, he would have brought his secretary instead!

The Aide-de-camp said, “So far it’s been limited contact with David Jones, but I believe in my judgment.”

The man doesn’t seem like someone who would lie!

The standard reporting procedure didn’t keep David Jones waiting for long.

Guided by the aide-de-camp, he made his way into the lounge.

“I heard you have significant information about the Dungeon?” Michelle Roger’s face was grave as he scanned David Jones without leaving a trace.

Is this the rookie Trainer that Gavin talked about? He seems rather solid.

Gavin Maud, on the other side, was also eyeing David Jones curiously.

What significant piece of information could be possible from a Class III dungeon, which has already been thoroughly investigated by the Trainers Guild!

David Jones first glanced at the stern-faced military man right in front of him, then at Guildmaster Maud, who was watching entertainingly from not too far. He hesitated in the second.

All he wanted to do now was to grow quietly. He wasn’t thinking of establishing any relationship with leaders from the legions.

Gavin Maud looked somewhat perplexed upon noticing this. He couldn’t help but sneaking a glance at the solemn Michelle Roger standing next to him, a faint smile creeping up his face.

“Nevermind, just say whatever you want. Everything in the Blessed Dungeon is overseen by the Trainers Guild. They are just stationed here out of routine.” “Old fox!” Ironic grin ran through Michelle Roger when he heard the words. This guy was as shrewd as ever.

A mere Class III dungeon, he didn’t even know the specific information yet, but he was asserting the ownership of the Mountain Southshore dungeon once again in front of him.

What a joke! Does he fancy to take it over?

“Guildmaster Maud, given that this is important intelligence for the Trainers Guild, I’ll bother you no further,” said Michelle Roger, showing a sign of getting up.

“Wait, Michelle. If I can’t even trust you, there wouldn’t be anyone on this mountain who I can rely on!” said Gavin Maud, promptly trying to stop him.

Just as he finished talking, both their sights landed back on David Jones.

Feeling their eyes focused on him, David Jones began outright, “There is a true dragon in the Mountain Southshore dungeon!”

“What!!!”

This astonishing news made Michelle Roger spring up out of the chair. An inconceivable expression surfaced on his cold face.

Meanwhile, Gavin Maud took an unhurried look at the joy-stricken Michelle Roger.

All these years and his reticence hasn’t improved a bit; no wonder he got a promotion slower than others.

It was just because Michelle Roger made it up to King rank, otherwise, it would really be hard for him to stand out in the legion brimming with talents!

After all, it’s just a true dragon. How could a Class III dungeon possess such a high-level entity? At the very least, it should appear in a Veteran Dungeon.

Looking at the military man who suddenly startled, David Jones was slightly taken aback.

Looks can be deceiving. This man seemed stern outwardly, who would have thought he’s an impatient man.

Seemingly catching their strange gaze, Michelle Roger laughed awkwardly, then put on a serious face and sat down.

Any other information wouldn’t have troubled the battle-tested veteran like him or touched his brows. But, the sudden news of a true dragon made him lose his composure!

He was an ardent seeker of dragon pets, and his goal was to become a Dragoon.

So much so that if his contracted pet wasn’t a dragon-type beast, the name of the pet would certainly contain the word ‘dragon. This was his last persistence in becoming a Dragoon!

“During this dungeon expedition, I found two large dragon scales,” David Jones said, flashing a dim light on the Star Ring on his finger, and a jade dragon scale instantly appeared in his hand.

“Could I examine it?” asked Michelle Roger hastily.

On Blue Star, anything that could be called a true dragon was invariably an excellent existence above the Epic Overlord. He had only caught a glimpse of such a pet grade from afar on the battlefield.

“Of course.”

This was another big shot!

David Jones handed over the dragon scale to Michelle Roger. That gold star on his epaulet had almost blinded his eyes when he had just entered.

“Rest assured, all the pet resources you obtained from this dungeon belong solely to you!” prompted Gavin Maud, glancing inadvertently at the flushed Michelle Roger. A hint of regret flashed in his eyes.

If he had known about the precious news earlier, he should have let the old classmate leave first.

Having held the dragon scale for just a while, Michelle Roger said regretfully, “Unfortunately, there’s no trace of Arcane Force on this dragon scale.”

“An object without an Arcane Force fluctuation can’t even be considered pet resources!”

The next second.

With no attempt to disguise his inner adoration, he turned expectantly towards David Jones, “Do you have any plans to sell this precious collection?”
