Sky-cracking Rider

For someone like Chen Xiao'er, who worked in the military contracting business, the small matter of a person or two dying was just part of the daily routine.

During the enterprise wars, people died in droves, and the deaths came in all manners—those of enemies, allies, strangers, acquaintances... Over time, he got used to it, only wondering what his own death would look like when the day came.

Being smashed into a pulp by the tail of a giant dragon hardly counted as anything noteworthy, a swift and clean end with little prolonged pain, which was actually quite nice.

Moreover, Chen Fei wouldn't be moved by the deaths of thousands of worthless beings like these, despite having previously treated them with the respect due to a noble's butler.

In life, a butler; in death, nothing but a pile of worthless rotten flesh—how pitiful and lamentable!

"The fourth..."

Chen Fei continued to call the roll, determined that not one of these escapees from the Imperial Capital would get away.

With the precedent set, those whose names were called stepped tremblingly out from the crowd, not even daring to think of resisting. Even if they had a hundred times the courage, they couldn't make any difference in the face of these young student dragons—perhaps the Dragons of Slaughter were looking forward to something, most likely a head to take.

The others who were with Xia Ji didn't even wait for Chen Fei to call out their names and voluntarily stepped forward.

Since their names would be called eventually, standing out obediently and early might spare them some pain.

Crack, crack, crack... Each person's neck, waist, wrists, and ankles were securely locked with heavy chains and manacles.

These were Metal Elemental Psychic Power-evolved products which could only be unlocked with supernatural power, so they didn't even have keyholes, let alone keys. Chen Fei indicated there was no such thing, and unless one used specialized cutting equipment, strong corrosive potions, or brute force, only he or another Metal Ability User could unlock them.

"Report: eight due, eight present, one dead, seven alive, all accounted for!"

Chen Fei waved to Princess Lin Ziyu, no, Investigative Agent Yu Zilin, who was on the vehicle.

With the help of a bunch of truant elementary school dragons, he had successfully captured these fugitives.

It was just a shame they hadn't managed to catch more suspects.

"Back-up is on the way."

Princess Lin Ziyu's role as an investigative agent wasn't fake but quite real.

There was indeed a female agent with that face on duty, actively working from time to time.

How could the shadow of the Imperial Princess only be one, after all?

"So what about these people?"

The female Metallic Giant Dragon Yilan approached.

She wasn't the one who had instigated the collective truancy of the dragon elementary school students; it had been entirely the doing of her three younger brothers.

"Whatever!"

Chen Fei's target had been Xia Ji and his group; the other people in the manor were none of his concern.

The task's client, the Blue Star Global United Defense Committee, hadn't offered extra payment, so he had no reason to bother with any extra issues.

"Understood!"

Yilan raised her head to issue the final verdict.

"Kill them!"

"Eh? No no no, don't!"

After a moment of shock, Manor Lord Burei quickly became frantic and started shouting in panic.

"Roar!~"

"Let's begin!"

"I'll kill them all!"

...

But the Metallic Dragons roared recklessly, regardless of anything else.

They were the evil of this world, never knowing kindness, nor understanding mercy.

"No..."

"Help!"

"Spare me! Ah!"

"Run!"

The manor's people broke down completely; some tried to run, others plead for mercy, and yet others tried to fight back, but before the Dragons of Slaughter, no matter what they did, everything was futile.

They had only one fate, which was to be brutally killed!

Even as young dragons, once they unleashed themselves, they became Grim Reapers in the world of men, their instinct from the depths of the Dragon Soul driving them to kill life without any sense of right or wrong, good or evil—only to kill, kill, kill, kill, kill...

Screams, wailing, roars, and howls... The ground shook violently, limbs and heads flying everywhere—a true vision of hell on earth!

Manor Lord Burei, who hadn't had his shackles removed, was the first to be crushed into the ground by the paw of a Metallic Giant Dragon. By the time the claw was lifted, the shackles were gone, but he had long since lost any human shape, his death was exceedingly gruesome.

Chen Fei turned his back to the carnage behind him, without even glancing back, and pointed to the side of the Mobile Base Vehicle.

```

"Kneel beside the vehicle and don't make any rash moves."

Ironically, the seven people who had just been captured seemed relieved as they all knelt down obediently side by side, not daring to move an inch or even breathe loudly, facing the five pairs of loaded wheels in penance.

At least they were still alive, not having fallen victim to the slaughter of the Metallic Dragons.

The desperate gasps for survival at this very moment were probably the greatest fortune they had ever had in their lives.

Even in death, not one of them wished to die at the claws and teeth of the Metallic Dragons.

In their struggle for the opportunity to kill, the young dragons from the Dragon-Breeding Elementary School fought each other, creating a cacophony of sounds, the earth shaking, and the scene became chaotic for a while.

A few muddleheaded ones even set their sights on the Mobile Base Vehicle. It didn't matter who, as long as they drew blood, but they were intercepted by Big Sister Yilan before they got close. They couldn't last even a round, were flipped over on the spot, and then held down and beaten severely.

The Humans' screams of agony and the Giant Dragons' roars filled the air. A few rational Magical Beasts in the settlement, seeing the situation was bad, fled desperately outside the manor.

Dealing with one Metallic Giant Dragon was hard enough, let alone a whole group. The several hundred young dragons present could rip them to shreds without any resistance.

In just a few moments, aside from those around the Mobile Base Vehicle, there were no other survivors on the scene.

The young dragons that had not had their fill of blood or were left unsatisfied, out of respect for Big Sister's authority, didn't dare to make rash moves against Chen Fei and the others, but their gazes turned towards the central settlement of the manor, where a large group of weakened women and children had already collapsed.

"Yilan, stop them!"

Chen Fei, seeing that the young dragons were eyeing the old, sick, and disabled in the settlement eagerly, frowned immediately.

A gentleman kills with purpose and restraint, only taking the lives of those who deserve to die, not killing without a worthy cause. The people who had just died were all armed felons; the moment they picked up lethal weapons, they should have been prepared to face death. Failing to kill and instead being killed is nothing to cry unfair about, nor are they worth any sympathy.

But for those who were unarmed and lacked the ability to fight back, it was better to leave them for the law to decide.

"Got it!"

The female Metallic Giant Dragon Yilan was completely loyal to her good friend Chen Fei, doing whatever he said.

Moreover, the slaughter that had just taken place was already enough. Everything should be done in moderation.

"All of you, stop and line up!"

Yilan roared at the foolish young dragons.

Many young dragons began to line up by grade and gathered together by class as if by reflex.

Of course, there were some disobedient fools who were quickly held down by their peers, beaten up, and then dragged into the line to behave well and listen.

With an air of authority, Yilan looked at the young dragons, large and small, and demanded, "Who allowed you to come here today!"

"..."

The scene fell eerily silent, but the majority of the young dragons slyly lifted their Tail Spears, aiming at the unsettled culprits.

In this moment, silence was louder than words.

Who else could it be?

It's always better to share joy with others. Of course, it was those three troublemakers who loved chaos, Cobalt Luo, Thukadi, and Benali, who instigated this whole mess!

"Sister Yilan, listen to me..."

Clang!

Cobalt Luo, trying to explain himself, was like an ostrich, as his huge and fierce dragon head was smashed into the ground by a swung Tail Spear.

Thukadi and Benali exchanged glances, about to react, but clang, clang, they both followed Cobalt Luo's example.

The three young dragons trembled, their heads buried in the soft mud, not daring to pull out, maintaining their "ostrich" position. Resisting was not an option; it would only make things worse.

This time, the summoned minions were only from the elementary section, and did not involve the Young Dragon Garden and the middle school section.

"Who else?"

Yilan scanned around, and every young dragon lowered its head, lacking even the courage to make eye contact, nowhere near the ferocity and cruelty they had displayed earlier.

The sound of a phone dialing came from her body.

"Hello! Yilan? Where are you? There's been a huge incident! Those young dragons, um, the ones from your species, they've all run off somewhere! Those little devils ahhhh!"

It seemed the call was on speakerphone, and the voice speaking to Yilan was amplified so that even Chen Fei could hear it clearly.

It was probably a teacher from Dragon-Breeding Elementary School, currently in a state of collapse because of the young dragons' unannounced departure from school.

"Count is 384 heads, none missing, all here with me!"

The female Metallic Giant Dragon Yilan replied calmly, the reaction of the other party fully within her expectations.

"What, what? They're all with you? Where are you?"

The other end, the elementary school teacher, was shocked and relieved.

Relieved to have finally found these audacious young dragonlings, shocked because they had run off to Yilan's location. What on earth was going on?

Could it be that Yilan was the one who instigated these young dragons to skip school?!
