Chapter 526: Targeted

On Thursday morning, Li Mochen walked out of the principal's office at Linden Academy with a livid face, then found Hazel, who was practicing while hiding in the gymnasium.

It was still that 'Guan Yi Ben Yuan Step,' and Hazel was running wildly in the empty venue, her expression carefree.

Upon seeing Li Mochen, she was initially overjoyed: "A-Mo, why are you here?"

But then Hazel covered her nose: "That smell again? (Censored) Wow, that's a full seventeen hours."

Li Mochen looked embarrassed and immediately cast a spell to mask his scent. But it was only self-comfort; a black dragon's nose is very sensitive, ten thousand times that of a dog. The level 20 spell he cast was barely effective.

"We're still young, Hazel! Besides, this is also part of cultivation."

Li Mochen began steering the conversation back on track: "I just came out of the principal's office. You've been quite impressive lately, huh? Four months, seventeen injuries."

The problem was that this girl didn't even bother to be discreet, keeping the Pearson-Darby-Specter law firm running ragged. Of course, they were also thrilled about it.

For Hazel's injury lawsuits, this law firm had made a fortune from him.

Fortunately, Hazel's actual age was still under twelve, and the other parties' backgrounds were usually not very clean, so Mike Ross and the others could settle the lawsuits out of court. Of course, paying some medical expenses and compensation for emotional distress was inevitable.

"I knew it would come to this."

Hairou snorted, crossing her arms over her chest: "This is your fault, A-Mo. Not only did you make me go to school, you even signed me up for summer camp. I know, you're afraid I'll disturb your private time with Anqi, right? Besides, the people I hurt all deserved it. Just this month, there was another guy bullying a girl."

"I know, I know, you're the righteous heroine, the Blaze Maiden Hairou."

Li Mochen said with utter helplessness: "But Hairou, you didn't have to make such a big deal out of it, right? If you'd just concealed it a little, our distinguished lawyer Spector and Lawyer Ross wouldn't have had to work so hard. You're usually very clever—"

Li Mochen's voice abruptly stopped. He noticed the corners of Hairou's mouth lifting slightly in a cold sneer. He instantly understood—this girl had done it on purpose! It was clearly the little girl's way of expressing protest.

Realizing this, Li Mochen rubbed his forehead in frustration: "Damn it! I just wanted you to experience the life a teenager should have. I don't want you to have regrets in life, Hairou."

Besides, this girl was too intense in her daily training; he had no choice but to use the respectable excuse of school to make her relax a little.

"But I don't need it at all!"

Hairou pouted: "A-Mo, you know what I want."

"But you'll regret it later—"

"No, I won't! My life will be long. Once I kill the Calamity Flame Dragon Girl Adriana, I can live a long time. Demigod-level dragonblood sorcerers have lifespans of a thousand years. If I ever do regret it, I'll have plenty of time to make up for it."

Li Mochen thought that might not be the case, but after their exchange had reached this point, he knew he had to change tactics.

"Fine, since you insist, I'll arrange a position for you at Xuri Security Company. But after that, you have to get an offer from a university—it must be Ivy League level. Then get a degree in administrative management or business management, OK? It'd be best if you also get a law degree. I don't want you to only be my top enforcer in the future."

"It's settled then. We have an agreement now, right?"

Hairou'er smiled and extended her palm.

Just as Li Mochen helplessly high-fived her, his expression suddenly turned stern as he glanced sideways into the void behind him, a strong wariness in his eyes.

“A Mo, did you find something? Is the opponent very powerful?”

Hairou'er also began to be on guard, but her eyes held a hint of confusion. She had detected nothing unusual within twenty kilometers.

Hairou'er's True Dragon Vision also found nothing.

“Able to perfectly shield our perception.”

Li Mochen hadn't actually discovered anything; what he sensed was due to the warning from the 'Divine Sky Spirit Fortune Purple Gold Tower.' As the price for helping him detect danger, seventeen strands of merit light on the tower dissipated in that instant. This showed how powerful this person was—

—Was it the Silver Wing Duke?

Li Mochen couldn't be sure, but he knew that even if this person wasn't the Silver Wing Duke, he was an assassin of the same level.

So he unhesitatingly walked toward the school gate: “Let's go home. Before heading to the Dragon Tomb, Hairou'er, you'd better not come out again.”

Besides, he also needed to warn his capable aides to be extremely careful in the coming days, preferably preparing one or two reliable life-saving methods.

...

Over the next ten days, Li Mochen continued preparing for the trip to the Dragon Tomb.

Angela's guess was correct, but not entirely. Besides killing the Calamity Flame Dragon Girl and finding a powerful dragon skeleton for Angela, he had other purposes this time.

They were related to a dragon relic and a legend. But before that, Li Mochen had to forge an artifact to increase his chances of success.

It was worth mentioning that at this time, his secondary body had also started the furnace in the magic tower, preparing to refine the Blue Swamp Vine Heart into a magical artifact.

He had prepared a large number of top-tier materials a month in advance, including some of mythical grade, and had worked with Anthony to deduce a magical artifact array diagram.

At this moment, Li Mochen only needed to follow the steps to complete this mythical armament he had envisioned.

With his current artifact forging skill, he was far from capable of making a mythical armament, and he didn't have that many legendary powerhouses for blood sacrifice.

However, this time, the plan Li Mochen and Anthony designed was not complicated; it mainly aimed to guide out the power inherent in the 'Blue Swamp Vine Heart' rather than further strengthening it, thus greatly reducing the difficulty.

Then Li Mochen, along with the 'Divine Sky Spirit Fortune Purple Gold Tower,' could rely on that.

After defeating the Medici family, the 'Divine Sky Spirit Fortune Purple Gold Tower' still had over a thousand strands of multicolored light. In the following two months, it could harvest at least ten thousand more strands!

Li Mochen estimated that after killing the Calamity Flame Dragon Girl Adrianna, there would be a huge gain, enough for him to perform a powerful wish and complete this mythical armament.

Meanwhile, the war in the dark world was also reaching a fierce stage.

Michael Wood led an army of seventy-five thousand, sweeping through the area around Saint Stone Fortress. Then, after a series of unstoppable battles, he pushed his forces to the mouth of Rochelle Canyon.
