"Welcome, Elder Zou, to my royal estate. You claim that someone from my Royal Family had entered the Fairy Paradise, is that correct?" The Dragon King asked Elder Zou when she arrived before him.
"And before you answer my question, you should know that I don't respond to false claims nicely."
Elder Zou coldly sneered and said, "And you should know that the Fairy Paradise doesn't respond well to rule breakers! A man with a Dragon Spatial Ring had invaded our territory, and I am here to verify whether he belongs to your family or not!"
"If he doesn't belong to your family, we will immediately execute him! However, if he does turn out to belong to the royal family, our Fairy Paradise will demand an explanation and compensation!"
The Dragon King then spoke, "While it is true that only the Royal Family should have a Dragon Spatial Ring, it is also possible for others to obtain the ring through other means. It's rare for this to happen, but it's not impossible."
The Dragon King then turned to look at the guard standing beside him and said, "What's the result?"
"I have managed to contact all of the men in the Royal Dragon Family and confirm that none of them have entered the Fairy Paradise," said the guard.
Elder Zou frowned upon hearing the guard's words. If that was true, that would mean the man with the Dragon Spatial Ring doesn't belong to the Royal Dragon Family.
"As you heard just now, Elder Zou, we have accountability for all men in the family, so it is not possible for that intruder to belong to our royal family!"
"That's all I need to hear. Then I will let the others know so that they can go ahead and continue with the execution," said Elder Zou as she retrieved a communication jade slip.
The Dragon King then added, "After you take care of that man, if you don't mind, can you return the Dragon Spatial Ring to us to prevent future misunderstandings? We'll compensate you for the effort."
"Of course." Elder Zou nodded.
A moment later, Elder Xue picked up the communication.
"Sister Xue, I have just spoken with the Dragon King. The man who invaded our territory doesn't belong to the Royal Dragon Family, so we can go ahead and kill him."
However, to Elder Zou's surprise, Elder Xue requested to speak with the Dragon King.
"Let me speak with the Dragon King."
Elder Zou then handed the communicated jade slip to the Dragon King, "Elder Xue would like to speak with you."
The Dragon King didn't think much of it and accepted the communicated jade slip.
"What do you want, Elder Xue?"
"Dragon King, are you absolutely certain that the intruder doesn't belong to the Royal Dragon Family?" Elder Xue asked him in a solemn voice.
