DNDAS

Chapter 22: Provocation

The next day at work, not a single bit of surprise could be seen on the faces of the bureau employees after they saw the penalty notification sent out by the system and knew of the penalty target. Since ancient times, the dragon clan had conducted themselves in an ostentatious and arrogant manner due to their noble lineage and strong innate magic power. They had always held ordinary yao cultivators in contempt.

At birth, the majority of the dragon clan possessed the ability to freeze and summon rain, thunder, and frost. Not only did they receive human sacrifices, many yao also had to bow to them on sight. And it was precisely because of this that certain brash dragons would cause heavy rain or snow to descend if they were in a bad mood or were playing around, bringing misery to the humans and animals in the human world.

This sort of situation had only gradually taken a turn for the better after the boss took charge of the cultivation bureau. They had originally thought that the boss would definitely side with the dragon clan because of his ties to them, but who would have expected that it would be the exact opposite in reality? Not only was the boss not biased towards them, he was very harsh towards them.

In the past close to ten years, the sum of the violation tickets the boss had issued to the dragon clan was even enough to buy real estate in the capital. They had previously guessed that the boss might not be on very good terms with the dragon clan, but other than fining them according to the regulations, the boss had not gone to the dragon palace at the bottom of the ocean to look for trouble, so there was still no proof to substantiate this way of thinking.

After deliberating about it from all angles, they could only arrive at one conclusion – that the boss was upright and plainspoken and would definitely not be biased against any one side because of race.

"Two million is a tiny amount to the dragon clan. It's just that this Northern Lake azure dragon appears to be the Dragon King, who would be able to take him away?" Chu Yu turned and looked at everyone in the room. Everyone turned their heads simultaneously, not meeting Chu Yu's gaze. It wasn't like they disdained their lives for being too long; who would want to go up against the dragon clan?

"Lin Gui, I remember that you're from the sea..." Chu Yu's line of sight eventually landed on a youth at the corner wearing a checkered jacket.

"Yu ge, my family's ancestor was once even the deputy of the dragon clan. With just my little ability, how would I dare to capture a dragon? That Northern Lake azure dragon is a freshwater dragon; I think you're more suited to handle this matter," Lin Gui shook his head vigorously. "Let me off, okay?"

"What would I go there for? Deliver myself to the azure dragon to be eaten?" Chu Yu conceded defeat instantly. Coughing dryly, he said, "Capturing the dragon isn't important. Let's first send this penalty to the dragon clan. What if this Northern Lake azure dragon feels remorseful and gives himself up?"

"If you think about it, it's not like we're breaking the law," Zhang Ke mumbled in a low voice. The past few years, a certain dragon clan had committed numerous misdeeds at their own pleasure, which had caused natural calamities to strike certain areas. There was no end to the damage done. If not for the boss pressuring the dragon clan the past few years and teaching this dragon clan who didn't take other living creatures seriously a thing or two, they would probably be even more unbridled in behavior.

"Don't assume that us fishes have bad hearing just because we don't have ears on the surface of our original forms," Chu Yu turned to look at Zhang Ke. "Our hearing is perfectly fine. I heard your muttering very early on; if you're so capable, go ahead."

Zhang Ke: He might be a man, but he couldn't be capable at this moment.

"Why not..." Xu Yuan's voice was a little weak. "Why not let the boss personally capture him?"
