Rise of the White Dragon

Before they left, Nora turned to Luan and asked, "Luan, what are you going to do now?"

"Obviously, I'm going back to shore in 3 days," Luan replied to her, "As I said, time on earth is returning. It's the beginning of the apocalypse. For now, everything is normal, but as you well know, monsters grow bigger than intelligent beings, mainly because they have no brakes."

"Brakes, you mean they don't measure the consequences of their actions, yes?" Nora said coldly. Her planet was lost to monsters. Because of that she and her clan were forced to live in the tower.

"Exactly, monsters kill other monsters if they don't have other beings, but as you know, they prefer intelligent beings, something instinctive," Luan replied..

Soon they finished putting everything away and Luan said, "Because of this, I need to make the people of the earth stronger. I don't want to lose access to the tower store, much less lose the planet I live on."

"You've done that before," Nora said, "The last time, wasn't it thanks to you that your planet survived? Just make sure you don't let it take up all your time."

Luan told her, "Of course, I've already prepared a lot of things, and I have new ideas to make humans stronger and be able to defend the land without needing my help."

"By the way, is Lenore going with us?" Ingrid asked.

Now that she knew Lenore was Luan's daughter, it was likely she could go ashore.

"You want to go?" Luan asked Lenore.

"I…" Lenore looked at Nora.

"Go ahead, I know you would like to spend time with your father. And you have the chance to meet your aunt and grandmother." She smiled.

"Thanks, Mom." Lenore hugged her and smiled softly. Lenore was looking forward to going ashore. It would be the first time she would leave the 50th floor of the tower, and she felt her heart beat faster just thinking about it.

"Nora, what is 'he' currently doing?" Luan asked suddenly.

"Oh, are you talking about 'him'?" Nora blinked her eyes as if it was something difficult to say. "Well... He made it to the Seventh Order."

"I see…" Luan was silent afterward.

Knowing that 'he' made it to the Seventh Order was quite a shock to Luan. He felt a little sad actually; he was the one in front, but now he needed to return back to the start of the race. However, not everything was bad. Thanks to what happened, he got his family back and met Ingrid.

'Who are they talking about?' Ingrid was intrigued, but she didn't ask. However, she made a mental note to ask Luan later when she was alone with him.

"Do not be sad," Nora said softly, "You'll be able to reach that level again, now that that bitch Isabela isn't here to get in the way."

"True." The corners of Luan's mouth curved slightly. "Thank you, Nora." Ingrid didn't like this at all, but she didn't freak out.

But suddenly, the smile on Luan's face drooped, "I'm not exactly sad. You could say I'm even happy, partly excited."

"That's nice. If you cried, I would hug you and let your sorrows flow." Nora laughed strangely, it was like a maniac laughing.

"Weird." Ingrid scowled at her, seeing the way she laughed.

'Weird, she says…' Nora rested her chin with her hand and smiled, 'There's a word someone hasn't dared say about me for centuries.'

Ingrid's lips curved in a cold arc and her slightly droopy eyes hid the expression deep in her eyes.

"Do you like to say that you are an old woman so much?" Ingrid said.

Nora didn't respond. She turned her head to look at Luan and there was a coldness between her eyebrows and eyes. "If your little girlfriend keeps pissing me off, I'll kill her."

Luan leaned back in his chair. His cold eyes squinted at Nora. He knew her very well; he even knew that her tolerance was very high, since if it were someone else, she would have already killed them.

"Nora," Luan said indifferently, "you know this can't be done, yes?"

"So boring..." Nora puffed out her cheeks, but her cold gaze didn't waver. "Believe me, I'm holding back as much as I can."

"I believe you," Luan nodded.

Ingrid looked at Luan, then looked at Nora again. She just didn't like what she was feeling. It was horrible not having the power to go against Nora, at least not in terms of fighting strength. However, if it was beauty, attractiveness, even concerning love, it guaranteed itself; she loved Luan and knew he loved her.

Lenore was silent the entire time. She looked up slightly. With her hands holding silverware as she ate and her long hair shielding half of her face, she looked unusually cool and distant.

Walking through the city on the 45th floor, Maira and the rest were resting after fighting several monsters.

"Mom, this looks like a good place." As she said this, Cristina was pointing to a three-story upscale-looking restaurant.

It was European in appearance, made of stones. Even around where the windows were located were detailings, made of larger stones in a circular shape. Although not modern looking like the others, this one looked more attractive.

"Yes," Maira agreed.

The giants swallowed the pill they brought with them and shrunk in size. It would be impossible for them to enter the restaurant at their current size. On the outside, it would have been one thing, but on the inside it was totally different. The restaurant was white and clean, with accents on the thick wooden pillars around it, dark brown wooden tables, and round-seat chairs. It looked quite soft.

"Good evening, everyone is very welcome," a waiter told them politely and courteously. The restaurant was almost full, but there were some empty tables.

Maíra said as she looked at the waiter, "Can you get five tables for us?"

"Yes ma'am. One moment please." Saying this, the waiter bowed politely before leaving. Soon they saw that another five waiters had started to help put the tables together in the upper left corner of the restaurant facing the window. It was a very nice place. Then the waiter returned them and led them to the table.

"I joined you, finally." A voice echoed outside, then an 18-year-old young girl entered. She had short pink hair, big breasts, and a bulky body. She was charming, but her haughty look made people feel disgusted. Behind her, two tall, strong men appeared. They had white skin and were approximately 220 cm tall.

"Get her!" The girl ordered arrogantly.

"Yes, Milady."

The two men moved very quickly.

Catharina was sitting in her chair, her dark eyes narrowed. She just smiled slightly and had an evil expression in her blood red eyes. Rising from her chair, she reached out and took the arm of one of them.

*Bacha!*

It was the sound of a broken bone.

*Bam!*

Her right leg simply kicked the other man's leg. The man fell, half-kneeling in front of Catharina like that. Everything happened in the blink of an eye.

The other people in the restaurant didn't even have time to react. They just saw Catharina's black cape with red accents floating softly. Her face looked calm and gentle as if she was just casually pushing a child. She reached out and threw the man towards the girl who had screamed earlier.

"Ahhh!"

When hit, because she took too long to react, the girl screamed very loudly. She slammed her back into a tall pillar and fell forward, lying on all fours on the table, her panties showing as her skirt rode up.

"Looks like the little princess didn't learn her lesson last time," Catharina said slowly as she approached with slow steps towards the young woman who was moaning in pain on the floor.

The girl stood up while holding her stomach in pain. She cursed as she pointed at Catharina. "Urgh! Bitch, you'll pay for that!"

Catharina smirked as she looked at the black-eyed girl. "I see you're still talking nonsense..."

*Bacha!*

"Ahhhhhhh!"

The girl screamed so much that the waiters and the restaurant manager didn't know what to do. They recognized the young woman whose leg was crushed by Catharina's right foot; it was Princess Pamela, daughter of the mayor of the city. But even knowing that fact, the strength Catharina displayed and the way her family members treated the whole interaction with indifference, scared them a lot. Therefore, they only communicated with the mayor so that he could resolve this situation.
