A dragon shape similar to the black dragon, but not exactly the same.
This is not just a matter of being twice as big in size, but also an aura that is far superior to that of all existing dragons, which is enough to illustrate his status in the dragon clan.
No, it's not just that. Apart from this giant black dragon with golden eyes, the seven or eight phantom dragons that submit to him are much more powerful than the dragon fathers that Lin Long knows. Moreover, they can all find dragons with the same attributes as the dragon fathers.
However, it is obvious that they are all older dragons.
It can be seen from the shadows alone that their dragon armor has long been riddled with holes, their bodies are covered with scars, and even the horns of several dragons are broken off. The worst-hit one has lost half of its strong and powerful tail.
All of these show what a fierce battle they had experienced.
All of this was seen by the giant dragon known as the 'King'. The next moment, the giant dragon moved, and a clear voice rang out:
"I'm sorry, I was too young. As a king, not only did I fail to protect you, but even Dragon Island... eventually collapsed."
The dragon's shadow swayed, and soon, a young man with long black hair and dragon horns appeared in the position of the black dragon with golden pupils. His long, gentle black hair covered his naked body.
The young man was very handsome, and his temperament was very clear. It was hard to imagine that his true form was such an imposing black dragon. But the moment he opened his eyes, the kingly aura brought out by his golden eyes suddenly overlapped with the dragon's original aura.
Such a statement finally made the other dragons unable to hide the grief they had endured for thousands of years. Even though their bodies... had long since turned to ashes with the end of the fierce battle on Dragon Island, and only their dragon souls were supporting their survival, but...
"King, this isn't your fault. When the fierce battle broke out, you were only 280 years old. Whether as a king or a dragon, you were too young."
"And... the collapse of Dragon Island wasn't your fault. Even at the end of the fierce battle, Dragon Island was already on its last legs. The core that supported the island's existence had long been destroyed. If it weren't for you, Wang, who forcibly continued to support the island with your dragon body, Dragon Island would have collapsed at the end of the fierce battle, instead of surviving for over a hundred years."
But they could only survive for another hundred years. At that time, their king was already seriously injured, and it was a miracle that they could hold on for more than a hundred years.
Until their king's dragon body reached its limit and his consciousness could no longer remain clear, Dragon Island could no longer hold on and collapsed.
Moreover, compared with the kings of previous generations, their current king is not bad at all, and is even very outstanding. Other dragons need to go through a certain period of training before they can transform, but their king is already in human form as soon as he hatches from the shell, which is something that no king of previous generations has.
At the moment their king was born, all the dragons on Dragon Island cheered. The king's power seemed to make them see the glorious future of Dragon Island.
If the fierce battle had not come so suddenly and so early, so early that their king would not have had time to fully grow up, or even reach adulthood.
They were caught off guard, completely defeated, and had been sleeping until now, only just waking up now. The opportunity that awakened their king was clearly...
"The breath of a giant dragon? Are there still members of the tribe alive?"
"Yes, King. Although there weren't many of them, there were still a few elite members who survived back then. Among them was this brat from my Red Dragon clan. But the aura I just heard should be from the Black Dragon clan. They've been active in human form for thousands of years, and I don't know why they suddenly transformed back into their original form..."
One of the older red dragons was nagging like this, but after a while, he was interrupted by the tree dragon next to him and shook his head slightly.
"Hush, Red Dragon, be quiet. Our king has been forced into a deep sleep again. It seems his injuries have not fully healed yet."
"And it's not the right time."
The shadow of a silver dragon walked forward and shook his head as he looked at the young man who had closed his eyes again and fallen asleep, unable to support himself.
"Let's wait a little longer. Our king hasn't truly awakened yet. The injuries he suffered back then were too severe, so it might not be easy for him to recover. But I think we can send that guy over to prepare for our king's return. I estimate that in the near future, our king will probably wake up from time to time for a while in order to allow his body to adapt to the environment thousands of years later..."
As sighs were heard, the shadows of the giant dragons gradually faded away. Not long after, they all disappeared, as if they had never appeared. The entire huge space became extremely quiet again.
It was obvious that the surviving dragons outside did not notice what happened here, even the strongest black dragon among them was unaware.
The black dragon transformed back into its original dragon form not for any other reason, but simply because it wanted its cub to take a good look at it.
And Lin Long never let He Long down. The moment He Long transformed back into the black dragon form, Lin Long, who hadn't seen a dragon for a long time, had eyes that lit up surprisingly. After trying to hold back, he couldn't hold it back any longer and pounced towards his black dragon father. He climbed onto the black dragon's back with extremely skillful movements, feeling the familiar touch of dragon scales. Lin Long couldn't help but feel emotional and satisfied.
There is just one thing... Lin Long looked left and right, up and down, and finally couldn't help but patted Black Dragon's back with a bit of heartache, and said:
"Dad, you're getting old too. I understand, I understand. Thousands of years have passed."
"What nonsense are you talking about? I, your father, am still in my prime. It's only been a few thousand years. How can I be old?"
He Long, who still felt majestic, glanced at his own child with a hint of dissatisfaction, thinking that his own child must be old and blurry, so he thought he was old. Until he heard Lin Longbei behind him pointing at his belly in confusion and said:
"Hey, haven't you aged? Then why does your belly seem to be getting bigger than before? You're almost getting a beer belly."
“…”
The black dragon felt that he had lost something to show off because he had lost his dragon cub. For the past thousands of years, he had either been in a deep sleep or woke up once every thirty years. He had hardly any exercise and had not paid much attention to his dragon form. After all, he had not transformed back into a dragon form for thousands of years.
But it doesn't feel that bad. I'm just a little fatter and weaker than when I was on Dragon Island, and not as powerful. He Long thinks he's okay.
It wasn't until he heard his cub mutter again, "Black Dragon Daddy doesn't seem so handsome anymore. I wonder if the other Dragon Daddies are better looking?" that a sense of crisis suddenly struck him. He immediately decided that he had to start training again and restore his former "mighty physique" on the agenda.
He is the black dragon father of his own cub, after all. How could he let his own cub look down on him? His pride as a dragon father is almost gone!
However, just as Lin Long was well aware of her dragon father's weaknesses, the black dragon He Long also knew the bad habits of his own cub. After taking his cub flying around twice in the manor equipped with hidden devices, He Long brought Lin Long back to his dragon nest.
And there, there is nothing else but a pile of gold. It is real golden gold, not those cold black cards or gold cards.
At this moment, Lin Long finally understood why her black dragon father had brought her here. It was to count gold! Counting gold! Lin Long's eyes were surprisingly bright at this moment. Dragon father didn't care and slid down smoothly. He couldn't help but grinning at the nest of gold in the dragon's nest, almost drooling.
It’s just a bit hateful that I’m not in my original dragon form now, so I can’t grab many pieces of gold with one claw. Dragon claws are better because they can grab more gold, instead of just looking at it and not being able to hold it like now.
At this point, Lin Long no longer disliked the dragon cave or the house at all. Instead, he felt that the dragon cave and dragon nest were quite good. Just looking at such a nest of gold could make him smile happily, just like when he was on Dragon Island.
The father and daughter, Black Dragon, played like this for a long time until later in the evening. Lin Long received a message from Sister Chu Qi, asking her if she had arrived at the new residence, how she felt, where the new residence was, and that she was still worried and wanted to come and see it tomorrow. At this moment, Lin Long's excitement cooled down, and she stared at her Black Dragon father and fell silent.
"Dad, it looks like we still need to find a house to live in? Otherwise, we won't be able to explain the gold in this dragon's nest, and Sister Chu Qi is coming too..."
"I really need a house."
He Long thought about it, and he finally realized that raising a cub was a little different from raising a human. Although this was his own cub, and his own cub didn't mind living in a dragon's nest, but his cub's current body was not that of a dragon after all, but that of a human.
If she has people around, she needs to socialize. Even though her cub only has one agent now, it doesn't mean she won't have one in the future. If she were to live the same life as a dragon in the past, it would obviously not work.
It seems that I have to learn how to be a good father raising a 'human cub', Black Dragon He Long thought.
And who else could be the first example of a "good human father" that comes to He Long's mind except LeBron James, who often posts photos of his children on Weibo?
So, it didn't take long for the top executives of the BD consortium to discover that their Lao Zhan had been particularly valued by their president recently. He was called to the president's office for questioning every few days, and received various calls from the president from time to time. Everyone looked at Lao Zhan with bloodshot eyes, and the words they said were sourer than eating lemons.
Regarding this, Lao Zhan was really on the verge of tears and wanted to shout out his injustice.
How could he be valued by his CEO? He was asked for 'child-raising consultation' every day, ranging from the child's friendship problems to psychological problems. It was really exhausting.
Old Zhan even felt that if he had not seen and known what Lin Long was like, he would have almost thought that their CEO was raising a three-year-old baby.
Until later, he accidentally discovered that it seemed that the person who raised Lin Long as a baby was not only their president, but also GD, the president of RD Group, and so on... Old James was completely disappointed.
Of course, this is all in the past.
That night, after discussing in the Dragon's Nest for a whole night, the father and daughter finally decided to go buy some property early the next morning.
Fortunately, considering that Long Ba has a rather impressive status now, it is not difficult to buy a new house. And considering Long Ba's original body shape, he has no other requirements for the new house, only that it should be big and spacious.
Of course, it doesn’t matter whether He Long transforms back into his original dragon form or not. After all, he has been like this for thousands of years and has long been accustomed to living in human form.
But when he thought of his original form that was a little disliked by his cub yesterday, He Long felt that it was necessary to exercise the dragon body. After the exercise, he also needed a space for the cub to appreciate it. In this case, a spacious house was necessary.
Consensus was reached immediately.
So, on the second day, many people saw Lin Long, who was blackened by the whole network, appearing in several wealthy areas of Jiangcheng with her financial sponsor, and it seemed that they were looking at houses!
"Is this some kind of real-life 'Golden House Hiding Beauty'? How dare you look at houses with your money man?! How shameless!"
"Exactly! I'm almost nauseated! By the way, has anyone figured out who that sponsor is? With all due respect, until the identity is revealed, there's no guarantee the sponsor is the real one! He could be a fake, or even a fake pretending to be one!"
Lin Long is still being criticized online as usual.
In response to this, He Long remained silent. His hunting habit was to uproot the ants completely. Those jumping ants could not affect them at all. He just needed to confirm with Lao Zhan the current precarious situation of Lin's Enterprise.
And it is estimated that the Lin Group can only maintain a little face today at most. On the third day tomorrow, the situation inside the Lin Group will probably no longer be suppressed. At that time, it will be time for me to stand up for my own children.
Lin Long was at a loss for words about Long Dad's decision. She originally didn't want to trouble her own Long Dad too much, but since Long Dad did this, Lin Long could only let him do whatever he wanted.
But I'm afraid things won't end so easily. If the "prophecy" that Lin Zhuer mentioned is true, she might take some unusual actions, and this is her chance to get some information.
She had a hunch that Lin Zhuer had dared to make her 'disappear' on the cliff at that time, so, she must have done such a thing more than once, once, twice, and three times. Once everything behind it was figured out, she would not let Lin Zhuer have the chance to do evil again.
As for whether the Lin family would fall, Lin Long really had no idea at all. It was not as important as the fact that her father, Black Dragon, had been ringing nearly ten times this morning. This was what concerned her. She couldn't help but curiously poke her head in and asked,
"Dad, does anyone have something urgent to talk to you about? If you're busy, go back first. Mr. Zhan can take me to see the house. There are only two houses left, so I think it will be done quickly."
Old Zhan in front couldn't help but nodded with emotion, and immediately felt that it was great that their boss had a sensible daughter. God knows how challenging it is for them to take down the Lin Group within a week after the management structure of their consortium had just been shaken up.
The employees of their consortium were looking forward to their boss He's return every day until they were almost as big as giraffes, but they never saw their boss He show up in the company again.
But… the guy who called their CEO almost ten times couldn't be their employee, right? Ever since their CEO said he didn't want anyone to bother him, the guys at the BD consortium have all become cowards. No one dares to call their CEO anymore, right?
The phone rang nearly ten times this morning, and it was indeed not from a BD Group employee, but from another guy who looked incredibly familiar and was also a particularly troublesome guy.
Seeing the name 'Will' written on it, He Long hung up the phone without mercy.
He Long had known that Huang Jinlong was coming to China, and he didn't find it strange at all.
In the past, every time he woke up, the Golden Dragon would look at the time and sway in front of his eyes until he got impatient and beat him up before he would be willing to get out of his sight.
Because of this, He Long was not surprised at Will's visit.
But this time was different. He already had cubs, so how could he let some weirdo people pollute his view?! Wasn't that polluting enough back on Dragon Island? Whenever it was his turn to look after the cubs, the one who came up to harass him the most was this guy, the Golden Dragon!
The more he thought about it, the more ruthless He Long was in hanging up the phone. He even ignored Will's WeChat bombardment and turned around to post a message on his Moments: "I'm at home with my kids! Don't bother me!" After that, he turned off his phone and turned to Lin Long and said:
"He's just an annoying guy, don't bother with him. By the way, sonny, how about we go get something together? We can eat out tonight and call your female agent along."
However, Will's senses were too sharp, and he could easily detect his breath. That was how the guy had blocked him before. Of course, this was also because he had not deliberately concealed his breath.
Now, although he has restrained himself, it is better for him to blend his breath into humans just in case.
Thinking of this, He Long suggested that they eat dinner outside.
Lin Long had no objection to this.
After all, it will probably be late when the new house is settled, which makes it inconvenient to cook. And if I call Sister Chu Qi, I can take her with me and let her visit the new house to make her feel at ease.
But... 'annoying' guy? Why did she feel that name sounded familiar? Like she'd heard it often before?
Lin Long couldn't help but feel a little confused, but after thinking about it for a long time, she couldn't remember it. He Long changed the subject, and soon she forgot about it.
Meanwhile, Will, who had just left the airport, stared at the latest update on his WeChat Moments. He tutted twice, but couldn't help but feel a bit confused.
Is the 'cub' raised by Black Dragon really that similar to the cub? Why does Black Dragon seem completely captivated by it?
This attitude, this tone, is far more serious than his? In the past, when he came to see him, even though Black Dragon was still indifferent to him, he would at least give him a "hmm"? When he was in a good mood, he would even tell him where the dragon was.
It must be said that at this moment, Will couldn't help but become a little curious about He Long's "cub".
However, Will had barely walked far from the airport when a car stopped him. Two men, looking a bit disheveled, stepped out of the car. Upon seeing Will wearing sunglasses, they immediately stepped forward and said respectfully,
"Hello, Mr. Will. We are Lin Zhuer's eldest brother, Lin Jiayan, and second brother, Lin Jiamo. We knew that Mr. Will would arrive today, so we came here specially to pick you up. We will be welcoming you tonight. Please get in the car, Mr. Will."
In that instant, Will, who had a smile on his face, immediately turned cold, and he looked at the two men in front of him with anxious faces indifferently.
"How did you know my whereabouts? I don't remember ever making my whereabouts public."
The sound was neither salty nor bland, and the voice was not loud, without any ups and downs in tone. It was as ordinary as saying "I have eaten today".
But it was this bland remark that instantly caused Lin Jiayan and Lin Jiamo to break out in cold sweat on their backs. They began to stutter and almost lost their voices.
"This... Mr. Will, my sister Lin, Lin Zhu'er is Wen, Wenwen's good, good sister, so we came to pick you up..."
Wenwen? Zhang Wenwen? At this moment, Will already understood something. He took off his sunglasses, turned around and looked at Zhang Wenwen beside him, and said calmly:
"I don't think you can stop my trip at will, Zhang Wenwen. I remember this. It's stated in the agreement we signed."
Seeing Will's face, which had never been cold before, Zhang Wenwen was shocked. Her face immediately became a little panicked. She couldn't help but hurriedly shook her head and said:
"No, no, I didn't, Will. I don't know why Pearl sent someone to pick you up for a wedding reception. I really don't know..."
"But you revealed my whereabouts. I remember this was also stated in the agreement."
Will pointed out the problem directly, and the oppressive feeling made Zhang Wenwen subconsciously want to lie in rebuttal.
But the moment her eyes met Will's, her mind went blank and her heart was so panicked that she didn't dare to say anything.
She had a hunch that if she lied now, she would probably be finished.
It's all Lin Zhuer's fault. She said that Will didn't like others knowing his whereabouts, and repeatedly asked them not to send anyone to pick him up. Will wouldn't like it. When she signed the agreement contract with Will, Will repeatedly emphasized this point!
And what on earth was she doing! Was she trying to kill her? For so long, Will had never been cold to her, but this time, he was cold to her! Just when she was about to succeed!
Zhang Wenwen was filled with hatred. If the key information on how to capture Will was not in Lin Zhuer's hands, she would not have suffered such a hardship at all. She was even more afraid that all her previous efforts would be wasted!
Thinking of this, Zhang Wenwen looked pitiful, and apologized with a pale face, saying "I'm sorry" several times.
But all these still failed to make Will's expression better. On the contrary, he felt very unhappy.
That's right, Huang Jinlong is used to finding a guy who looks like his own cub to keep by his side in order to keep himself away from the terrible loneliness, but that doesn't mean those guys can be so self-righteous as to control his actions at will.
Moreover, in order to avoid trouble, he let those guys read the relevant agreements and contracts before putting them next to him.
If the other party spends time to "accompany him", he can give the other party the money, fame and power they want, and confirm that as long as one party is not satisfied, the relationship will end immediately and there will be no further entanglement.
To put it simply, this is an agreement relationship, and now, it is obvious that Zhang Wenwen has violated the contents of the agreement contract by casually disclosing his whereabouts.
Will was in a very bad mood. At this moment, he even lost the interest to look for Black Dragon. Looking at Zhang Wenwen's face that looked like his own, he finally endured it and put on his sunglasses again, saying:
"This is just one time, and it won't happen again."
Hearing this, Zhang Wenwen finally breathed a sigh of relief and followed Will into the car. Seeing that Will's attitude towards her had returned to being nice to her before, and he was no longer cold to Lin Jiayan and Lin Jiamo in front of him, she felt relieved and was sure that Will really had her in his heart.
But the more Zhang Wenwen thought about Lin Zhu'er's betrayal, the more she hated her. Finally, she couldn't help but contact Lin Zhu'er secretly and said:
"How many times have I told you that Will doesn't like anyone knowing his whereabouts? If you hadn't asked me repeatedly, I wouldn't have told you. But I told you not to pick up Will, not to pick up Will, not to pick up Will!! And what did you do? Are you trying to kill me?!"
Do you think she really wants to send someone to pick up Will?! If the Lin family hadn't encountered an uncontrollable situation that day, she wouldn't be as anxious as she is now!
She had originally considered Will's connection as just the icing on the cake, but she had never imagined it would become her lifeline! She hadn't expected that Lin Long's financial backer, who appeared on the show yesterday, was actually the president of the BD consortium!
After the filming of the program ended, Lin Zhuer almost couldn't control her expression and her face turned pale after learning the bad news from her third brother Lin Jiashu, whose face changed drastically.
Especially when she recalled what the other party said on the show, she could no longer control the fear in her heart.
It was true that Lin Long's financial plan was to bankrupt Lin's Enterprise within a week! In fact, it was even more likely that Lin's Enterprise would not be able to sustain itself within seven days.
But this is not the most important point. The most important point is that Lin Zhuer remembered that the man said that he would have to choose between herself and Lin's Enterprise, and let the Lin family make the choice!
No, she will be abandoned, she will definitely be abandoned by the Lin family. As long as the Lin Group does not go bankrupt, she will have a chance to reverse all this. And the only one that can suppress the BD Group is the GD Group, which is also one of the seven major groups.
At this point in time, Lin Zhuer clearly remembered that Will from the GD Group had not yet met He Long from the BD Group. The plot in the book was that they would meet about a year later, and now, Will from the GD Group was extremely infatuated with Zhang Wenwen.
There is hope. As long as she lets Will appear at the banquet tonight and lets other company bosses see that their Lin Enterprise has a close relationship with Will of the GD Group, they will be wary of the Lin Enterprise and will not be so one-sided as they are now.
Yes, that's right. As long as she can survive this bankruptcy crisis, she will have plenty of ways to revive the Lin Group in the future! After all, she is the one who has been reborn with a golden finger!
Lin Zhu'er was thinking frantically, and in order to ensure that Will could attend the banquet smoothly tonight, she had to ask her eldest and second brothers to pick him up.
Even if she clearly remembered what Zhang Wenwen had said, so what? Zhang Wenwen must have said that to intimidate her.
Under her manipulation, Will had become completely infatuated with Zhang Wenwen. How could Will possibly blame Zhang Wenwen for such a small request? Was this Zhang Wenwen threatening her, trying to get more information from her?!
Lin Zhu'er uttered a "tsk" sound and replied with some fake polite words in a bad mood. She turned around and saw Lin's father walking towards her not far away. She immediately put on a well-behaved smile and said:
"Dad, don't worry. Just invite those big bosses to tonight's banquet. My sister Wenwen has promised to help us. There won't be any problems. As long as they see that GD Group's president, Will, is on our side, we won't be in such a passive position like we are now... Dad, just invite as many people as you can."
"Is there really no problem? Zhu'er, if that GD Group CEO Will suddenly changes his mind..."
Lin Jianming, Lin's father, still has some concerns. After all, no matter what, it is the GD Group. Can they really get the unconditional support of Will from the GD Group by relying on Zhang Wenwen alone?
"It's okay. I've never failed before. Dad, just trust me. Just invite the people over." Lin Zhuer said confidently.
Indeed, up to now, all of Lin Zhuer's previous 'predictions' have come true. Thinking of this, Lin Jianming, Lin's father, finally felt relieved and said with a smile:
"Okay, Zhu'er, I'll leave it to you. I'm going to swallow my pride and invite as many people as possible... Oh, by the way, the venue for the banquet has been decided. Your third brother is already in the private room at the 'Huanghua'."
'Huanghua' is the second largest hotel after 'Tenglong Pavilion', and it is very private. Generally, big bosses will choose 'Huanghua' for negotiations. There is nothing wrong with the Lin family inviting Will to attend the banquet tonight at 'Huanghua'. It is normal.
However, at the same time, when Lao Zhan learned that his boss would not go home for dinner at night and did not plan to go to "Tenglong Pavilion" for dinner, he also recommended "Huanghua" to He Long.
Lao Zhan's idea is very simple. Although not many people know their boss now, their boss did appear on a variety show yesterday. Just in case, it is safer to go to some more private places. Apart from "Tenglong Pavilion", "Huanghua" is obviously the best choice.
The reason why He Long did not choose to go to the 'Tenglong Pavilion' was very simple. After all, the 'Tenglong Pavilion' was still one of the industries of that guy Honglong. Forget about bringing the cub in.
He currently doesn't want other dragons to come and snatch his cub from him. If anyone in the Tenglong Pavilion leaks the news of Lin Long's existence, he will hate it to death.
As for whether to go to "Huanghua", He Long was casual about it. As long as the food was not too bad, it would be fine. Since Lao Zhan suggested "Huanghua" to him, then let's go to "Huanghua".
Lin Long didn't have any thoughts at all. She could go anywhere. It was just a meal. She could eat anywhere.
So, that evening, not long after Lin Long settled into her new home, she followed her father Long, picked up her sister Chu Qi along the way, and then took a car all the way to "Huanghua".
