The Mighty Dragon Warrior

Chapter 291

At the residence of the Governor of Paramount.

Gordon was taking his midday break.

It was a habit he had fostered over the years. He wouldn’t skip his half-hour break even if there was any urgency that needed his attention. Due to degeneration of his wellbeing, his lunch break span had also gradually lengthened over the years.

Unlike other times, today, he was tossing and turning during his midday nap.

“What happened to the five billion dollars? Any idea who meddled with the money?”

He glared at the Minister of Economy while interrogating him exasperatedly.

The economy had floundered significantly in these past years, and it had impacted the Quay family’s financial prospects.

Gordon had scraped together five billion in cash for a trade in with a bigshot.

He was rooting for the deal to come through as the profit would have a direct impact on his supremacy in Paramount for the next ten years!

This deal meant the world to him and very naturally, it had his full attention.

But to his dismay, the five billion in his vault had vanished on the eve of the deal.

Dam*! The audacity to rob Paramount’s Governor! All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

Gordon was infuriated beyond words.

“Please pardon my negligence and incompetence, Governor.”

The Minister of Economy made a deep obeisance remorsefully.

In fact, it wasn’t his fault at all. The culprit was cunning enough to devise such a seamless robbery.

It was as if the culprit had insight on his reasoning and plans in tracking the money. The culprit had planned out an extensive snare to deviate him from his investigation.

And by the time he realized the plot, the culprit had fled.

“That’s five billion in cash! It’s impossible for such a hefty amount of money to vanish without a trace. Search. Continue searching for leads!”

Gordon was insistent on hunting down the culprit and retrieving his money, but the results had proven ineffectual and unproductive every time.

Just as he was rambling back and forth restlessly, Zachary, the Minister of Armed Forces, hurried in from outside.

“Governor, we have detected an unusual activity in The Scarlet Dragons! Their fleet of three hundred Dragon Guardians are gathering in Paramount. As if they’re planning to ambush the Quay family anytime now!”

“The Scarlet Dragons is just an insignificant organization from the outer district. How foolish they are to mess with me in Paramount! Go and teach them a lesson for trespassing and provoking Paramount’s Governor!”

Gordon was aggravated at the disappearance of his money.

The Scarlet Dragons were shooting themselves in the foot for challenging his supremacy during his troubled moment.

After giving out his order, unlike before, instead of heeding the Governor’s order, Zachary just stood there unaffected.

“Why are you still standing here? Are you trying to challenge my word over my rocky power and status? Don’t you dare to turn a deaf ear to my order!”

Bam!

Gordon slammed the table while bellowing at Zachary.

The twenty centimeters thick marble top table was destroyed into rubble instantly.

“Governor, please allow me to relay a reminder from the patriarch of the Fest…”

“Spill it!”

Zachary was one of the Fest’s. He was also Benny Fest’s nephew.

And Benny was the patriarch of the prestigious Fest family who also happened to be an influential figure even Gordon had to act in accordance with.

“The patriarch of the Fest family has mentioned there is only one organization in Paramount that is powerful enough to aid him through this difficult time… I hope you will give this option a thought.”

“The Draco Chamber of Commerce!”

Gordon was even more infuriated at being reminded of Draco Chamber of Commerce.

Anyone who cared enough to pry the relationship between Draco Chamber of Commerce and The Scarlet Dragons would know they were a synergy.

The Scarlet Dragons had been stirring up causes ever since their emergence in Paramount. Gordon had always wanted to stamp out their influence in Paramount, but there was a more important matter that required his attention and energy.

It would be an insult for him to seek charity from those savages!

In reality and from the get-go, he had always considered The Scarlet Dragons as savages.
