Chapter 195 Dragon Lord

The guards behind the old man dropped to one knee in perfect unison, their voices thunderous and booming.

“Welcome back, Dragon Lord!”

Their voices echoed like thunder through the entrance.

Clive held the glowing dragon pendant in his hand, his eyes flickering with a storm of emotions.

‘Dragon Lord?‘ Clive blinked, his mind reeling.

‘Me?‘ he thought, still struggling to believe it.

Rafe pushed up his gold–rimmed glasses, his blue eyes reflecting deep thought.

Lioren’s cat ears twitched, his amber eyes scanning the guards with sharp vigilance.

Elmer’s mouth fell open, his puppy–dog eyes filled with disbelief.

Dora stood by Clive’s side, gently squeezing his hand.

Clive took a deep breath, stepped forward, and made a gesture to help the old man up.

“Please, sir, you don’t have to kneel,” Clive said.

“I’m really not this Dragon Lord you’re talking about. I’m just here to see the head of the Dragon Abyss Clan.”

The old man looked up, his eyes fixed on Clive’s face.

Those aged eyes were filled with relief, reflection, and a spark of excitement that words couldn’t describe.

“Dragon Lord, no need to downplay it,” the old man said.

“The dragon pendant picked you, and your bloodline responded, there’s no way it’s wrong.

“You’re the Dragon Clan’s heir, the one our Dragon Abyss Clan has waited three centuries for.”

Clive fell silent.

Dora squeezed his hand, offering silent support.

Clive took a deep breath, steadying the storm inside him.

“I’m just here to see the head of the Dragon Abyss Clan, so if you could…”

The old man nodded. “Before the head of the family went into seclusion, he said that if the Dragon Lord ever showed up, it would definitely be to learn about his past.

He’s been waiting for you for a long time.”

He paused, a trace of regret in his voice..

“But the head of the family began his breakthrough to the Level 9 three days ago, and he’s currently in seclusion.

“Breaking through to the Level 9 is incredibly risky, no one can disturb him.

“Before he shut himself away, he told me that if the Dragon Lord arrived, I should make sure you and your companions are settled in here.

“Once he comes out, he’ll meet you in person.”

Clive turned to Dora.

Dora gave a slight nod.

“Thank you for having us,” Clive said.

The old man stepped aside and gestured for them to enter.

“Dragon Lord, please come in.

“Please, everyone, follow me.”

The five walked through the entrance.

Behind them, the huge vermilion gate swung shut, sealing them inside.

Inside, the mansion was even grander and more imposing than it appeared from outside.

Above their heads, ethereal dragon souls circled, sometimes sending down beams of golden light that made. the whole mansion feel like an enchanted realm straight out of legend.

Elmer wandered around like an excited kid, his puppy–dog eyes darting everywhere as he kept blurting out “wow” every few seconds.

Lioren was still acting all cool and aloof, but his tail was swishing with curiosity, totally betraying how fascinated he was by everything in the place.

Rafe strolled along, quietly observing, his blue eyes occasionally glinting with thoughtful insight as he studied their surroundings.

Clive led the group in silence, the dragon pendant still in his grasp.

His heart was a storm of confusion.

The mystery of his origins was about to be unraveled, and of all places, it was here that the truth would come

out.

Dora walked beside him, her hand still holding his.

“Don’t be nervous,” she said softly.

Clive turned to look at her, the storm in his eyes slowly faded, replaced by a gentle softness.

“Mhm,” he murmured.

The old steward led the way, his steps steady and his voice gentle.

“Dragon Lord, and esteemed guests, you must be weary from your travels. I’ve arranged for your rooms and hot water so you can freshen up.

“Dinner is being prepared and will be ready shortly.

“If you need anything at all, please don’t hesitate to ask.”

Dora asked, “What should we call you, sir?”

The old steward turned to look at her, a hint of a smile in his

eyes.

“I’m merely the steward of the Dragon Abyss Clan.

“If it’s not too much trouble, you can call me Uncle Henson.”

Dora nodded. “Uncle Henson, how long will the head of the Dragon Abyss Clan be in seclusion?”

Uncle Henson shook his head. “Breaking through to the Level 9 could take as little as three to five days, or as long as half a month.

“It all depends on what opportunities or breakthroughs the head of the family encounters.”

Dora nodded thoughtfully.

They made their way through a few corridors and soon found themselves in a private courtyard, set apart from the rest of the mansion.

The place wasn’t big, but it was charming and full of detail.

There were three main rooms and several smaller ones, with a little garden in the middle, packed with all kinds of flowers and plants that were thriving, even with all the rain from the wet season.

“This place, Wave Court, was set up just for the Dragon Lord,” Uncle Henson explained.

“The rest can pick any room you like.

“I’ll be in the front courtyard, so just call if you need anything.”

With that, he bowed and quietly took his leave.

The five of them stood in the courtyard, just staring at each other, not knowing what to say.

Elmer was the first to break the silence.

“Wait, so Clive’s really got Dragon Clan bloodline?” Elmer blurted out, eyes wide.

Rafe adjusted his glasses.

“The dragon pendant chose him, his bloodline resonated, and with Shine’s confirmation, it’s almost certain,” he said.

Lioren’s tail swished, betraying his curiosity.

“This Dragon Abyss Clan is way deeper than we ever imagined,” he said.

Dora nodded and looked at Clive.

Clive stood right in the middle of the courtyard, looking up at the dragon souls swirling overhead.

The souls seemed to sense something, slowly gathering above him, circling and letting out soft, haunting sounds.

“This place is awesome,” Elmer said, spinning around the courtyard, his puppy–dog eyes sparkling.

“Man, this place really screams old money!” he exclaimed.

Lioren shot him a look. “If you like it so much, why not just move in?”

“No!” Elmer shook his head. “I’m sticking with Dora, wherever she goes!”

Dora couldn’t help but laugh at him.

Lioren shot him a look, his tail flicking gently.
