Chapter 291: 290 Give a gift? Chapter 291: 290 Give a gift? Thus, Shane successfully extricated himself from a situation that could have led to his prosecution, then retired gloriously and went directly back to the Lazahad family home, where he fell into a deep sleep.

Not only Shane, but also Vivian, Tielle, Lu Muya, and Merica, a group of four, were all very tired, having had little rest in the wilderness. Thus, after returning to the Lazahad family, they washed up and promptly went to their rooms to sleep.

Even Ai Yi was yawning and claimed she was going back to catch up on sleep.

For this sleep-loving young girl, the overnight journey the day before was quite uncomfortable, something she wouldn’t have undertaken if not for Shane’s sake.

Therefore, Ai Yi also promptly went to her room to rest after returning.

As for You Lin, naturally, Shane and the others couldn’t bring it to the Lazahad family.

“I’ll take care of it.”

Before returning, Luoqi had said this to a troubled Shane, who didn’t know how to arrange accommodations for You Lin.

“The Northern Royal Capital not only has the Knight Camp but also a Riding Beast Shed for various tamed demons, and the Dragon House for housing flying dragons. Just put your dragon there.”

Thus, Shane handed You Lin over to Luoqi, who took care of its accommodations.

Although You Lin seemed slightly dissatisfied, after Shane had fed it a large amount of Magic Power, it quickly became content and obediently followed Shane’s instructions, leaving with Luoqi.

Shane believed that You Lin would also have a relatively comfortable dwelling there.

At least, if not for Luoqi’s arrangements, Shane would have had to let You Lin fly to the outskirts of the Royal Capital and temporarily find a mountain to hide in.

Therefore, Shane felt quite grateful for Luoqi’s help.

But for such kindness from Shane, Luoqi only had one thing to say.

“After you’ve rested, remember to come see me.”

Luoqi, with a half-smiling, non-smiling expression, made Shane only able to laugh dryly.

He knew Luoqi surely had various things to confirm with him.

Not to mention, just the matter of whether Shane possessed the Unique Skill “Tame” at a high level alone, Luoqi would surely want a clear answer.

A high-level skill capable of taming dragons, even Luoqi couldn’t ignore it.

Not to mention, while others might believe Shane’s fabrications, Luoqi definitely would not.

However, since Shane had no intention of revealing it, Luoqi had not pursued it.

But this non-pursuit referred to in front of others, privately, Luoqi wouldn’t let Shane off the hook.

“…Well, this Princess seems to want to fleece me again.”

Shane saw through the facade and helplessly rolled his eyes.

But he didn’t refuse, casually agreed to Luoqi, and then left with Vivian and the others to rest back at the Lazahad family.

Unbeknownst to Shane, after these matters had been concluded, in a villa in the Royal Capital Noble District, Duke Sterling’s family commenced plotting again.

“Bang!”

In the study, such a shattering sound suddenly resounded.

Barry fiercely knocked a teacup onto the floor, appearing extremely angry.

Lymco stood by silently.

He understood the cause of his father’s anger.

“Artlu’s Black Dragon…” Barry muttered resentfully. “Who would have thought, just an Adventurer, not only does he possess such high-level ‘Tame’ skill, but he even successfully tamed that fierce Black Dragon. It’s really unpredictable.”

This matter was undoubtedly very unfavorable for the Sterling Family.

The reason was no other.

“With such abilities, the Kingdom definitely does not want to let go of such talent. They’ll try by all means to retain him, confer him a noble title, and considering he has now made significant contributions twice, for that Adventurer to gain status has become all too easy.”

Barry spoke in a displeased tone.

“If this continues, it might really become possible for him to obtain a status suitable for Her Highness. Even the Emperor might consider betrothing Her Highness to that Adventurer then?”

Barry felt displeased and troubled by this.

Lymco didn’t say a word, but his hands were already tightly clenched.

Clearly, Barry’s words had all been taken to heart by Lymco, and he couldn’t help but care.

After all, if things really turned out that way, it would be Lymco’s lifelong pain.

Previously, stimulated by the attitudes between Shane and Luoqi, Lymco had already faintly thought of doing something. Now, this idea was undoubtedly much stronger.

Especially…

“With that Black Dragon, his strength has undoubtedly risen to a terrifying level. Even if I find a weakness in his Unique Skill, what can I possibly do against him?”

Thinking of this, Lymco tended to lose control of his emotions.

These days, Lymco had continuously tried to ingratiate himself with Shane, putting on a smile, which was humiliating enough.

But to achieve his goal, Lymco could only desperately restrain himself. He dared not burst out.

Now, Lymco felt that even if he achieved his purpose, he might ultimately be unable to do anything against Shane.

That person was now receiving the utmost attention from the Kingdom for having successfully tamed Artlu’s Black Dragon, and with great merit, protected by a terrifying demon of Level 90 or above. Who would dare to provoke him next?

Even Duke Sterling’s family might think twice about provoking Shane in the future, right?

Because the other nobles wouldn’t allow it, the kingdom wouldn’t allow it, and the Black Dragon by his side definitely wouldn’t allow it.

Even if Sterling is a Duke, he couldn’t possibly deal with so many nobles or the kingdom.

The Black Dragon was like this, too. A King of Demons of Level 90 or above was undoubtedly a huge threat to the Sterling family, which lacked a super-expert of Level 90 or above.

Lymco could even imagine that if he and his father really went back to their clan and claimed they wanted to deal with Shane, how the elders and collateral relations would oppose it.

It would definitely be a very unpleasant thing.

As a result, Lymco also rarely felt lost.

“What should I do?”

How can one deal with that person?

Just an adventurer, why would he make the Duke’s family feel so troubled?

It seemed Barry thought the same way. After taking a deep breath, he looked at Lymco.

“It seems we temporarily can’t touch that adventurer.”

When he said these words, what Barry felt, Lymco didn’t know.

Lymco only knew that he felt extremely suffocated.

“…Really just let him be?”

Lymco asked in a hoarse voice.

“At least, we can’t for now,” Barry calmly said, “We don’t have a chance as long as he remains in the Royal Capital. We’re probably no match for him.”

In other words…

“Is father planning to deal with him outside the Royal Capital?”

Lymco stared intently at Barry.

“We can only do that.” Barry pondered for a moment, then said, “Tomorrow, you go to the Lazahad family and give that Shane a gift.”

“A gift?” Lymco furrowed his brows.

“Just do as you’re told.” Barry said unequivocally, “Whether it works or not will depend on whether this gift can lure him in.”

Hearing this, Lymco fell silent, nodding his head after a long moment.

Shane was still unaware of all this.

When he found out, he wouldn’t feel unhappy but would instead laugh heartily.
