Regal Guard of Dragon

On an unknown island in the Medditar Sea, Melo was guarding at the entrance of a cave with a few henchmen.

This was one of the strongholds of the Dark Parliament. Many years ago, Aurelius took an interest in it and turned it into a place for his secret training. Hades Fist, which had shocked the martial arts community, was born here.

Except for Aurelius himself, the only people who knew this secret place were Melo, his confidant, and a few bodyguards trained by Aurelius himself.

Suddenly, the doors of the specially designed cave opened. Aurelius stepped out with an easy look on his face.

Melo was worried. The reason for Aurelius's sudden retreat was that when he was trying to reach a higher Period, his internal strength suddenly revolted, and like a runaway horse, it ran through Aurelius, damaged his muscles, and made him almost die.

Aurelius gave Melo a reassuring look. "It's all right," he said, "The injured muscles have been repaired with the Precious Materials you sent me. My muscle and vessel are more malleable and resilient than before. And I have vaguely touched the threshold to that Period which all the strong men are mad at.”

It was with some trepidation that Aurelius thought of the moment he almost killed himself. If at the last moment, he had not clenched his teeth, withstood the pain of the damaged muscles, and forcibly suppressed the internal strength out of control, he might have died. At the same time, he was glad that he withstood the pain, so that he finally touched the threshold of the God Period.

With Aurelius's positive reply, Melo's nervousness finally disappeared. The worry disappeared from his face and the furrowed brows smoothed.

"Did Musashi, Soroka and Philip take the advice we gave them?" Aurelius asked.

"My Lord, Musashi, Soroka and Philip have given up killing Finn. And they left City RM that same evening.” Melo replied.

"Well."

"Fortunately, Musashi, Soroka and Philip didn't do anything rash.” Aurelius sighed, "Although the Dark Parliament is not afraid of angering the Holy Sect and Hauty, our biogenetics program is at a critical juncture and we cannot risk it."

Melo nodded. "President, I see. If we get targeted by the Holy Sect and the martial arts community for the matter of Finn, it will affect your plans for entering the God Period. It might even risk losing the strong ones in our Dark Parliament in fighting with the Holy Sect and Hauty. Either way would be detrimental to us.”

Aurelius gave Melo an appreciative look. "That's the right point,” he said, "You deserve to be the think tank of the Dark Parliament.”

Melo, a little flattered, bowed to Aurelius. "My Lord, you have flattered me. For the long-term development of the organization, this is what the subordinates should do."

"Great." Aurelius praised Melo again and continued, "Melo, it was a blessing that I had a glimpse of the God Period. So, I decide to continue to retreat and break through the God Period."

When Aurelius talked about the God Period, there was a flicker of excitement in his eyes that could not be concealed.

After a while, Aurelius's excitement subsided.

"Melo, I'm telling you two things." Aurelius suddenly said.

"Yes, my Lord! I am all ears.” Melo lowered her head and got down on one knee.

The guards all around knelt down as well.

"First, the genetic modification project is coming down to the wire. To ensure that the experiment is successful as soon as possible, I need you to launch a small-scale artificial war, using the battlefield as a testing ground, so as to have those lab experts to get the genes from those people on the spot.”

"The second thing is, as far as we are concerned, we have so little information about the Holy Sect in the Sanskrit City that we are unable to take any action now. We only have a superficial understanding of their movements and overall strength. So, I hope you can recruit the young man Arthur from Sanskrit City to be our spy in the Holy Sect.” Aurelius said to Melo

"My Lord, the first thing is easy to do. Just spreading rumors can prompt governments in remote areas to start a small war, and we can intervene and get the data we need for the experiment.” Melo looked puzzled and said, "The second thing is more difficult than the first one. Arthur's status in the Holy Sect is not low, and it will only do us good if he joins us. Because of this, it is not easy to recruit him."

Aurelius pondered for a moment and then offered Melo a solution. "Well, didn't Finn break him an arm? Tell him that as long as he is willing to join the Dark Parliament, after the gene modification project succeeds, I will ask the technicians to inject biological gene into his abandoned arm, so that his arm will be better than before and his strength will be further improved.”

"Yes. I know what to do.” After hearing Aurelius's orders, Melo was confident that he would get Arthur joined them.

After all, in this world, there were no strong men who did not want to become stronger. The stronger one was, the more one could get. Aurelius continued, "The Finn who killed Williams, we won't do anything to him for a while. Now he is too high-profiled, and he has offended too many forces in the martial arts organization competition. Even if we don't make a move, he won't live too long. His fate will even be worse than that of senior Nat."

What Aurelius said seemed to foreshadow Finn's fate. In his opinion, Finn was too high-profiled, and that would make people jealous, so he would die sooner or later. Aurelius would not bother to contend with a dying man.

He wanted to focus on breaking through the God Period. Aurelius looked in the direction of Country C with shining eyes.

In the early morning, the whole world was clear and bright. The sunlight gently shone through the faint clouds on the streets of City RM, making this ancient City with a long history have a unique and pleasing feeling. At about 9 o'clock in the morning, a business plane from Country C to City RM landed at Umicino Airport on time.
