CHAPTER 124

​​

"I would be disappointed if you finished with only a blow job, then I would have to worry much."

"Tsk, I do not know whether I am building your own stamina or you are becoming more sex-crazed than I am."

"Says the dragon who came rushing to my office and knocking like there was a fire on the mountain." She kissed him hard on the lips before trailing kisses on his neck and biting him there.

"You can not blame me when I have naughty hormone-filled dragons bantering on about their love life."

"Heh hee... I missed. I bet that would have been a lovely scene," Jenny added in between sucking.

"Sure but too heated and serious to be lovely. Only you would have been laughing of course."

"You got that right. Aaahh.." Jenny yelped the moment two of his fingers invaded her entrance.

"Enough talking, time to eat you and make you scream you would not recall your own name."

After saying that, he guided her to the bed and pushed her on it lightly before jumping in and settling himself between her legs.

She did not need him to tell her what to do and instinctively parted her legs wide open for him, showing him her entrance in its full glory, ready to be devoured.

"My very own prize."

Sky wasted no time and went straight for her entrance leaking with the wetness of her arousal. "Aaaahhhhh!!"

***

Days went on like any other day. Everything seemed perfect and worthwhile.

Just like that, everyone went about their normal lives and the three dragon guys tried their best not to have a heated conversation like they had done before.

Meanwhile, Jade put more of her focus on finding out anything relating to Anders.

She tried her best to not get caught by Arctic but even she knew that he had his eyes everywhere and on her so she had to be careful.

Not that she cared actually but it did pay to be careful lest he blocks all her communication and eyes and ears, outside.

With that, she threaded carefully with the message from her father playing constantly in her head each day.

'Beware of the Dragon Lord. Beware of the Dragon Lord. Beware of the dragon Lord.'

And anytime the words replayed in her head, her mind took her back to the very day the message was delivered and the feel of the dragon on the wall looking at her.

She could not shake off those feelings, which had only further worsened her curiosity about it and she wanted to know more about the paintings and if her boyfriend was related to this so-called dragon.

To Jade, it was a title just like how her father was called the deadly iceberg and nothing more but now she could not determine if he was a worshiper of the so-called Dragon Lord or a minion or even right-hand man.

"Papa, I wish you were here. I need you right now. How do I go about this whole thing? How do I figure out just who he is? And how do I find his linkage to your death? Help me, please."

***

Meanwhile, the Anders had finally followed the right procedure and written for a permit to actually enter the city and search for what they wanted.

All these while Xander did his best to keep them out, not because he knew their link to Jade but because he believed in procedures, law and order and did not think he should allow things anyhow.

Turning a blind eye when people broke the rules meant him being weak as a leader. He was in charge of Star Cross City and he was going to ensure laws remained as they were be it to friends or foe or acquaintances.

The door pushed open as three well-suited men walked into the big conference room in the exquisite hotel building.

Behind them were seven other men dressed in black suits, presumably their bodyguards.

As soon as the three men entered the room, the other seven waited outside and closed the door behind them.

Immediately the people in the conference room noticed the coming of the three men, they all stood up to greet them.

As handsome as the three of them were, they all wore a cold, predatory, no-nonsense look on their faces as they made their way to the three empty seats at the top of the table.

No one spoke and waited for them to have their seat first before issuing their greetings out loud.

"Good morning, and welcome sirs," the first man greeted, followed by the others.

Xander did not say anything but immediately they finished greeting, the look in his eyes completely changed again into a more cold and deadly one.

"Sirs?"

They instantly goit what he meant and the first man cleared his throat to speak.

"My apologies, Lord Xander, Lord Sky and Lord Jay. Good morning."

"Tell me, what is good about this morning, Zale Anders?"

"Well, everything." Zale managed to reply while wearing his usual fake smile on.

"Such as?" It was Sky who spoke next. None of them was happy seeing the heir of the Anders today.

They were like pests, leech looking for whom to latch on and then become a parasite in their flesh while they sap you of all you have and dump you when you are no longer useful.

"Such as the right to speak with the three top branches of the city."

"Tsk, I never knew you have gotten so much better at your flattery, Zale," Jay chipped in with a smirk. "What got you sharper this time? Is it your failure?"

In as much as Zale felt offended by what they said, he just could not say anything and that was not because he did not have words to say but because of the position, he was in.

Back at Moon Crest City, he wasn't even the Lord of the city, he was just an underdog in the mafia world so what good was he when he came to meet the rulers of the mafia realm in Star Cross City.

Besides, he needed their favour to grant him permission to carry out his search accurately.

In all the cities they have checked, there was not still a sign of Jade anywhere. It was only this city that they did not have access to and that was why he was hell-bent on not leaving any stone unturned.

A corner smile appeared on his lips as he steadied himself to reply when Xander beat him to it.

"Morning. Have your seat."

"I… Hmm, thank you." He looked at his right and left-hand side and gestured with his eyes for them to sit down and so they did. "About the failure, you mentioned earlier on," He refused to call them by their titles and just directed his gaze at Jay.

"Yes, did I say something to offend you, Zale?" Jay asked.

"Not at all. Quite the opposite. I am even feeling gracious to have the three heads of the city consider my request for an audience even after my failure."

"Hmm, see what I said? Tsk, out with it, Zale. Tell us, why have you been sneaking around and meeting various mafia lords without due permission? What is your goal?"

"Nothing."

"Nothing?" Sky's deep baritone voice rang out instantly. "You call that nothing? You should be thankful Xander did not order that your people be killed on sight. There are rules and they are not meant to be broken," Sky queried him.

"I know, I am sorry."

"No, I doubt if you know the magnanimity of your offence," Jay added again.

By this time, Zale was already getting impatient with their attitude but still, what more could he do other than accept it as it were?

He was the one who had messed up big time. Slowly he clenched his hands into fists under the table as the vein at the side of his head budge out.

This was getting out of hand and Xander refused to talk anymore and just allow them to blast him.

"You made mention of the problem and you were asked to finish it and clear things, so why make such silly mistakes?" Jay questioned again.

"My mistake my error. I came here to seek permission by following due procedures. I need access to deal with mafia Lord in the city. Simple trade if you ask me."

"A simple trade? This is not Moon Crest City and as such no trade with a neighboring city is simple," Sky corrected.

"My apologies once again. I overstepped my boundaries."

"Since you knew, then why did you not go through the right channels? What are you hiding from us?" Jay questioned.

"Nothing," Zale answered with a smile, trying to keep his cool by all means.

"Is that so?"

"Yes. That is the truth. I assure you."

"Hmm… Xander, what is your verdict? Are you going to allow him access this time around or not?" Sky asked his friend.
