Chapter 38 - Draco's POV
I did not expect her to return that fast.
Honestly, speaking, I would have to admit that I had thought she too had deserted me after knowing about my powerlessness. Strength was the most admirable aspect in our dragon world. Without strength, one was nothing but a laughing stock. She winked at me!
The audacity!How informal was she going to be with me?
"Officer, we have his ID card right here. Now can we process the bail! "
Her words did not register clearly with me.
The officer took something from her hand. Glanced at it and then back at her and the person who was accompanying her.
She was fidgeting with her finger under the desk. It meant she was nervous.
"And who is going to be the guarantor?"
"I will! "The man accompanying Liana raised his hands.
"And who might you be?"
He made a twirl. A complete 360°.
Even Liana looked cringed.
"I am the famous Mystic Joe! Don't you know me?"
The officer rolled his eyes.
He went inside as Liana rushed over to me.
"Your name is Drake Drakon!"
She suddenly whispered.
"What?"
I was not in a very good mood. In fact my humiliation had reached a point of no return. First in my own realm and now amongst humans as well.
I felt like burning every soul that knew about this secret.
If only my powers were back.
"Is this the Dragon!"
the person who was accompanying her hopped right beside her and asked. But his tone felt really offensive.
"Umm, he... are you sure girl? Ummm, he looks very human."
I wanted to chew that human's neck and claw out his heart.
He stood behind those bars and dared to call me human.
I grabbed his neck through the gaps between the bars. "DRACO! LET GO!"
Was it her yell or was I growing too submissive and weak.
My hands immediately let go of him as he held his throat with both of his hands and gasped for breath.
"He is the one helping you out of here. Show some respect.
But that idiot did not look offended. He was smiling.
"I was wrong. I was wrong. He does have a Dragon's eye.
Sorry Mr. Dragon. I am extremely pleased to finally meet your kind. I am a big fan..."
He was extending his hands inside the cell but my glare made him retreat.
"Never mind!"
He let his hand swipe over his hair.
"Miss. Liana, please come and sign these documents!"
As they walked towards the officer, he whispered.
"Your mother is not going to be very happy about this. I hope you can get it sorted with her at the earliest. "
"That woman just gave birth to me. I refuse to call someone like that mother.
Show me where to sign!"
After a few more minutes of scribbling another person came to open the gates of the cell.
As we were about to walk out if the police station, " Drake Drakon... "
The officer suddenly yelled.
I naturally did not react until Liana gave me severe nudge at my chest.
"Yes! "I turned back.
"You better not disappear on this person and the girl. If you do, we will have to put them behind that cell!"
I guess the officer knew it was a fake name but he didn't have much choice to debunk his suspension.

"Let's go get Damian..."
Liana was literally pulling my hand.
"Wait! "
the man held her hand which was over mine.
"He needs to get treated first. If neglected for long, he might never recover at all. It is said that a dragon stabbed by the Ivory Blade never gets to breathe the next breath except for certain rare cases. We need to identify his situation and get immediate help.
Then you can go save whoever else you want! "
"But... "
Liana began then stopped immediately after looking at my chest.
I touched it, following her gaze.
The wound mist has opened.
It was bleeding and the blood soaked my dress.
"Have you been able to locate Damian?"
I asked her nevertheless.
She shook her head. Then turning towards that person said, " Please take him to your place and start his treatment. Don't worry about the payment. I will take total care of that.
Draco, I just can't keep sitting while Damian gets mishandled by casual caretakers. You have no idea how horrible human orphanages are.
I am going to personally ring up every orphanage in our area and go searching for him.
Do join me as soon as you feel like it.
Now go get that thing sorted!"
What did the girl take me for?
What was she being so sassy for?
"I am coming with you!.... Ouch! "
Did she just push me against my wound? It hurt. A lot. But more than that it hurt my pride.
"See, you can't even stand up against me. Get yourself treated first if you want to be of any help!" "Ummm, Mr. Dragon. Please follow me this way!"
That man had to make his presence felt just when I was contemplating killing Liana for her behavior. But I had to stare back at the pimp.
He ducked.
I was glad. I still hadn't lost my fire.
"Here Draco!"
I caught what she tossed at my hand. Keys.
"Take my car."
Then she tossed again.
"Here, keep my phone as well. I will get a new one.
Hey Mr. Mystic Joe..."
"Yes, Ma'am!
"Get him a new connection. I will be keeping my number."
I had a rectangular box in my hand.
"What is this?"
I asked the man as Liana was already gone.
"Umm, this Mr. Dragon is a cell phone. We use it to communicate with each other. Here... I will show you... "
He was trying to touch the precious crystal. But I swept it out of his grip.
"Don't you dare touch..."
"I was just trying to show you how to use... "
"Do you take me for a fool?
DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHO I AM?"
That man, Liana brought, was not that bad after all. He knelt immediately on the ground.
"I am aware of your majesty Mr. Dragon. Please forgive my ignorance!"
He could indeed be a worthy servant.
