Chapter 106 Chapter 106 (Updated)
Garland did not use disguise capsules this time. His dazzling red hair and delicate and cold eyebrows made him look between ice and fire, making him unpredictable.
The corners of his eyes were raised, and when he looked at people with his eyes downcast, he naturally looked down on them. At this moment, he was looking down at Liv with this condescending look. The corners of his mouth turned down, revealing a hint of disdain.
Liv was irritated by the look in his eyes.
She grew up in a pampered state. Her father was the Fox King, her mother was the Fox Queen, her mother's clan was more powerful than her father's clan, and she was her mother's only child. On the planet Tutar, almost no one dared to disobey her.
She always looked at others with such a condescending look, but no one dared to look at her with such contempt.
Her chest felt like it was on fire. She pushed Mervyn away viciously, straightened her clothes, and sneered, "Why, do you want to protect these scoundrels who intend to harm the nobles?" She raised her head to let Garland see her injuries clearly: "The wound on my face is the evidence! If you can't handle it fairly and impartially, then I don't mind teaching you!"
Garland was surprised at her ignorance and fearlessness. He laughed and said slowly, "Even if your parents were here, they wouldn't dare to teach me how to do things. You are much more arrogant than your parents. No wonder the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan can only work with those fishy-smelling aquatic products. It really is... each generation is worse than the previous one."
With a cold gaze fixed on his face, Garland sneered, "As for your injuries, I will pay for your medical expenses, but it is true that you have disrupted public transportation order and openly threatened the personal safety of citizens. You still have to go to the police station."
After he finished speaking, he raised his chin, and the security team member behind him immediately understood and took out handcuffs to handcuff Liv.
Mervyn's face changed slightly, and he stood in front of Liv, trying to deal with her with a forced smile: "Governor Garland, the four ancient clans have always been of the same blood. Miss Liv is also your junior, so I should call you uncle. Why make such a fuss over such a small matter?"
Garland raised his eyelids and looked at him: "I don't have such a proud niece." He turned his gaze to the little dragon cub who stretched his neck to watch the excitement, and his cold expression softened: "And I think you misunderstood a little. This is not a trivial matter. You are not bullying others, but my son and benefactor."
He spoke the last half of the sentence very softly, looking towards the little dragon cubs and their group.
The little dragon cub did not recognize him at this time. His golden eyes were wide open, as if he did not understand.
On the contrary, Ruan Shiqing seemed to be thinking about something. He lowered his head to look at Rong Heng and whispered, "Is he Garland?"
Rong Heng glared at the dragon tribe that was stealing the limelight and snorted.
Garland's tone was not harsh, but Mervyn saw that it was unquestionable.
I knew that this matter would not end well. If I really let them take Liv away, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to leave easily.
He winked at several bodyguards and was about to resist, but he felt the violent pressure unique to the dragon clan spreading out. The accompanying bodyguards felt the strong threat and instinctively tensed their bodies and dared not move.
Mervyn looked at the other person in shock, and used all his strength to straighten his back under this violent pressure.
He knew that the dragon clan was strong and the nine-tailed fox clan was not good at fighting. But he never thought that the difference in strength between the two sides would be so great. The moment he felt the pressure deliberately exerted by the other party, he had a terrible premonition that the other party could kill them in an instant.
And they were powerless to resist.
Mervyn looked sullen and gave up resisting.
"Please ask Miss Liv to go to the police station." Garland said without any emotion: "Since Miss Liv doesn't want to leave, then she shouldn't leave."
This time, the blocked team members immediately handcuffed Liv and forced her to leave.
Liv had never been humiliated like this before. She subconsciously wanted to use magic to resist, but she found that she seemed to be suppressed and could not do anything. Seeing that Mervyn and his group had given up resistance, she finally felt panic. She said to Garland: "If you let me go, my parents will give you anything you want!"
Garland sneered, his eyes full of disdain: "The wealth of the Dragon Clan is not comparable to that of a hundred Tutar planets."
The planet Tutar has become increasingly impoverished in recent years, and even the princess's vision has become so narrow.
If it were his cub, he wouldn't even blink an eye when playing with gems. This is the pitiful foundation left to the Nine-tailed Fox Clan.
He was too lazy to talk any more to the ignorant little girl, so he waved his hand and the team members pushed the mermaid out.
Afterwards, Liv and her group will be temporarily detained at the Sheriff's Station.
Originally, Si Yan didn't plan to take action against the Nine-tailed Fox Clan so quickly, but since they had delivered the evidence to his door, he had to take it. So after receiving the news from Rong Heng, he informed Jia Lan, who had hurried over to look for Ruan Shiqing and his group.
Now that Liv and her group have been taken away, the matter that Si Yan asked them to do has been resolved, but Garland did not leave.
He took a step forward hesitantly, trying to appear more friendly, and extended his hand to Ruan Shiqing: "Mr. Ruan, we meet again."
Seeing the surprise in the other party's eyes, he smiled and said solemnly: "I would like to reintroduce myself. I am Garland Calverly, also known as Hawthorne. Because it was inconvenient to reveal my identity before, I could only interact with you as Hawthorne. I am sorry for deceiving you."
He was actually a little nervous when he said this.
He was worried that Ruan Shiqing would mind that he deliberately approached him with a false identity, and he was also afraid that Xiao Longzai would not accept him as his father who suddenly appeared.
People outside say that he is deep-minded and highly skilled, but in fact, precisely because of this, he does not have many true friends. However, during the days of knowing Ruan Shiqing, he had a very good impression of the other party, and they had more of a genuine friendship.
He was prepared for the worst and was willing to express his most sincere apologies for his previous deception.
But to his surprise, Ruan Shiqing held his hand without hesitation and said with a calm smile: "Mr. Garland, I know you. Hector once said that you are another father of Heri."
After saying that, he turned around and patted the little dragon cub on the head: "This is your other father."
The little dragon's eyes widened, and hesitantly retracted his paws. After a while, he grunted and stretched out his paws to Galan: "Hello."
After a pause, he called out hesitantly, "Dad?"
He had heard Hector talk a lot about Garland. From Hector's words, he knew that the other father loved him very much and was looking forward to his birth. Later, he disappeared and the other party was very sad.
At that time, Hector was very gentle. He would touch his little head and say, "If Heri sees him in the future, remember to call him dad. He will definitely be very happy."
——The first meeting between the little dragon cub and Hector was not very pleasant, but they got along more like friends later. Hector seldom called him "Dad" seriously, but called him by his name directly without any respect.
Hector never expressed dissatisfaction about this, but when he mentioned Garland, he would use a very gentle tone and remind him to remember to call him "Dad".
Although the little dragon didn't think much of it at the time, he actually kept it in mind.
If I call him dad, the other person won't be too sad.
As he thought this, he stretched out his paw and moved it forward again.
Why doesn't Dad shake hands with him yet?
Garland stared at him blankly, his cold eyes gradually warming up. He suppressed his surging emotions, carefully reached out his hand, and held the cub's paw.
It was not the first time he touched the cub, but it was the first time as a father.
When the dragon eggs were just lost and he was still looking for them day and night, he had imagined countless times whether the scattered dragon eggs would be picked up by others and even hatched into dragon cubs. When he went to look for them, would the hatched dragon cubs not recognize him at all or even resent him?
He had imagined many possibilities, but he never dared to hope that the dragon cub would stretch out its tender claws towards him and call him daddy.
Garland's eyes were slightly red, but the corners of his mouth were raised, and he looked at Ruan Shiqing: "Thank you, you taught him very well." He was a little incoherent: "Better than what Hector and I taught."
Before he knew that this dragon cub was his own child, he had already expressed his admiration for how well Ruan Shiqing had raised the cub.
I feel that way even more now.
He suddenly felt extremely lucky that the dragon egg that was lost outside was picked up by Ruan Shiqing, and the little dragon cub could grow up happily under the care of his father. Among the thousands of worst possibilities he had imagined, the little dragon cub got the luckiest possibility.
"Can I hug you?" Garland tentatively stretched out his hands.
The little dragon looked at him, then at Ruan Shiqing. When he saw the smile and encouragement in his father's eyes, he threw aside all his worries, spread his bat wings, and threw himself into Galan's arms.
He has always been a very lively and coquettish kid, but after a moment, the strangeness and uneasiness of the father-son reunion disappeared in his cooing voice.
He took out the golden gemstone he loved so much from his backpack and said, "You gave this to me. Did you recognize me then?"
"No." Garland smiled frankly: "At that time I didn't know you were my child, but I still liked you very much."
This may be the mysterious induction of blood relationship.
He liked the cub very much the first time he saw it. He had imagined what the dragon cub would look like after the dragon egg hatched, but it was not until he saw Heri that he had a real vision.
At the time, he thought that if his cub could grow up, it would look like this baby dragon.
And now, this adorable cub is truly his child.
Garland smiled contentedly.
Instead, the little dragon wagged his tail proudly, holding the gem with a look of pride on his face. He has always been a lovable little cub.
