A few carriages traveled side by side, their curtains drawn, and engaged in casual conversation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One middle-aged man with a bulging belly looked at the young man opposite him and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"To think that reaching middle age, I would still have to leave my home! That bastard Viscount Ireland must have done something that incited both man and god! Otherwise, why would we have to suffer like this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"President Melbourne! Do you still feel anything for this city? To be honest, ever since that fool Haili Shan drove ’Audition’ away, I haven’t had any attachment!

Ever since I haven’t seen the fiery Miss Elf from ’Audition’, my days have been miserable!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nothing I do has vigor!

It’s robbery time! Now! Hand over all your treasures!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Quick! Turn around! Run!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The merchants on the carriages were terrified at the sight of the Giant Dragon and urgently urged the drivers to turn the carriages around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps because the dragon didn’t release its Dragon Mighty, the horses were still obedient, but just as they turned around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other side, with howls, three or four dozen Half-Beastmen emerged from the bushes!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With green faces and vicious looks, they approached menacingly, wielding wolf fang clubs!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, retreat was also blocked!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Drivers dared not move an inch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Surrounded by the Giant Dragon and Half-Beastmen in front and back, sweat poured down everyone’s faces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Choose! Will you hand over your treasures to save your lives, or remain defiant and let my minions collect your corpses?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Giant Dragon leaned down, poking his huge head in front of a carriage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, even without releasing its Dragon Mighty, the horses couldn’t withstand the pressure, and one shrieked, about to go mad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a result, the Giant Dragon gently raised a dragon claw and sliced from the tip of the driver’s nose straight down!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ground shook, the horse’s head and part of its body were flattened on the earth like a dimension collapse!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rear part of the body jutted out in a stiff, awkward posture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Due to the horse’s tilted body, the driver slammed directly into the dragon claw; glancing down at the bloody ground, he screamed in terror and fainted immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Giant Dragon slowly retracted his claw, raising one to his muzzle, and whispering:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now it’s question time! Unimportant little darlings, please keep quiet, I don’t like disobedient little darlings, do you understand?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Gulp~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A group of merchants, watching the still-dripping dragon claw, felt their hearts race wildly, and they trembled as they whispered:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"His Highness the Giant Dragon, please let’s talk things over! We’ll give you money! Isn’t that enough?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh! A wise choice! Clever little darlings.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Giant Dragon cast a look of approval at the merchant who spoke first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now go! Bring out all the treasures from the carriage!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, the merchants immediately began trembling as they moved one wooden chest after another from the carriage and opened them in front of Land.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Land looked at one of the wooden chests, which was filled with Gold Talers, and roughly estimated there were at least a hundred and thirty to forty coins!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s...it’s all here, Your Highness the Giant Dragon, take it, may I...may I leave now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The merchant said in a trembling voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other merchants were the same, having enjoyed good lives, they feared death the most.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In their eyes, as long as they were alive, there was still a future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At least, besides these treasures, they still had other things, like...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some merchants subtly glanced at the Gem Rings on their hands, the Gold Necklaces on their necks, and the Gold Notes in their pockets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as they had these, their lives could still be carefree!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Leave? My little darlings, are you joking? You still have many valuable treasures on you!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes! You there, with six Gem Rings on your hands! Take them off for me! And your clothes! Pants! Strip them all! They are all mine!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Giant Dragon growled, stepping forward to this merchant, thrusting its massive head to his face, exhaling a fierce hot breath that made him wet his pants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other merchants nearly lost their minds upon hearing this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They wished they could become Dragon Slayers, snatch up the wooden chests from the ground and smash them on this Evil Dragon’s head to make it buzz off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after comparing their sizes, they silently bowed and hesitantly removed some rings and Gold Necklaces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the Giant Dragon grew impatient and gave a side glance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, the Half-Beastmen understood, and rushed up with a howl to strip the merchants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before long, this group of merchants was stripped naked, shivering in the wind with their arms wrapped around their large legs, half-squatting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the Giant Dragon, with his Half-Beastmen, escorted the treasures away!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With just this haul, the Giant Dragon earned nearly three thousand Gold Talers!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gentle breeze blew, on the trade route, nearly a hundred pale, trembling figures with tearful eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s over! It’s all over! My treasures are gone! How can we live in the future!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The group of people wailed, downcast and dejected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some womenfolk leaned towards a few Adventurers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To them, merchants without wealth were nothing, and they were ready to rely on others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then a merchant suddenly laughed, pulling out a Ruby from his belly button.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Luckily, my belly is big, and my belly button is big, so barely kept my only asset! This Ruby is Matara’s Stone, worth 10 Gold Talers!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though it can’t let me live as before, it can at least guarantee a comfortable standard of living, and find solace in hardship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe I can make a comeback!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The merchant’s words carried a hint of pride.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>People tend to be this way, eager to brag when slightly better off than others amidst shared misfortune.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those around looked surprised, with someone slapping their thigh, regretting not thinking to hide something themselves!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some women winked at the merchant, seemingly implying something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Heh heh!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, someone sneered, raising his right leg, and plucking four gems from his toes, and then another four from his left toes, saying:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Luckily, I used to be an Illusionist, nimble with my hands and feet, and managed to hide some gems when those Half-Beastmen and the Giant Dragon weren’t looking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though not many, they’re worth around twenty-five Gold Talers, which is not bad!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He spoke and glanced discreetly at the person who had just spoken, causing their face to twitch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All the women’s gazes immediately turned to this man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmph!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a snort, everyone’s attention was drawn to a man with a somewhat large head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He suddenly opened his mouth and spat out a thin Gold Note from under his tongue, coldly saying:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Luckily, I had hidden a fifty Gold Taler Note in advance! My wealthy life will never be stopped by a mere Evil Dragon!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just wait! Once I make a comeback, I’ll make that Evil Dragon pay!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hahaha! You poor things! The money you’ve hidden is nothing! Let me give you a real treat to see! That Evil Dragon only got my superficial wealth! Not worth mentioning at all!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My real treasure is right here!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, a fat man, previously known as President Melbourne, spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone watched him slightly raise his buttocks, and in shock and disbelief, he pulled out several Gold Certificates!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hahaha! I’ve got as much as two hundred Gold Talers here! Adventurers, just keep protecting me well and I don’t mind doubling your rewards once we reach our destination!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No worries, President Melbourne! We will definitely protect you!\" These Adventurers responded excitedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"President Melbourne! As expected of the great president! So wise and thoughtful! There’s no way those Half-Beastmen and Evil Dragon could’ve thought of this! You are truly incredible!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"President Melbourne, I assume you’re still unmarried, right? How do you find my daughter?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hahaha!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Melbourne looked at the attentive women, especially one whom he had long admired, and laughed proudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But just then the sky darkened, and he looked up sharply, only to see the Evil Dragon return from above.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the ground shaking thunderously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pair of blood-red eyes met his!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air seemed to freeze at that moment.\u003C\u002Fp>",1752,"2026-06-06T02:00:51.835Z",1,"novelbin.me","a42321de2aa113cbb3e179d5a41d9230e6afb45fb51a97104ec87032e19f99c8","dragon-of-catastrophe-chapter-96","dragon-of-catastrophe-chapter-94",673,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fdragon-of-catastrophe-cover.jpg"]
