Chapter 452: Don't Come Over Here!

"For an existence like Master Ize, surely any normal person would investigate beforehand, right?"

Faced with this sudden question from the Rank Six alchemy master before him, Li Ang replied without changing his expression.

He did not conceal the fact that he had once secretly investigated the other party—after all, that was the reaction a transcendent should have.

Hearing this, Ize could not help but laugh, then teased: "Then it seems your elders didn't manage to dig up any information on me either."

He had assumed Li Ang's earlier strange behavior was due to seeing his appearance, since the vast majority of people in the past would be curious about it.

Although by cosmic standards tattoos hardly count as anything extreme, an existence like him covered in tattoos from head to toe is still exceedingly rare—let alone that mid-tier Rank Three professionals can basically sense how extraordinary these tattoos are.

And at this moment, Li Ang has already regained control of his emotions with the help of 【Calm Heart and Quiet Qi】.

Fortunately, judging from Ize's reaction, there was a high probability he had not discovered that Li Ang was the one secretly spying on him not long ago.

The only thing that puzzled Li Ang was that the timing didn't match—this alchemy master had arrived far too quickly.

Even though he had spent quite a bit of time crafting Kaiethus into a 【Quasi-Servant】, it still wasn't enough for the other party to travel from the Secret Blood Company's headquarters to Morabis Star—after all, even using a Star Gate, the distance between the two would take several days.

'Tch, what a hassle.'

Li Ang was no fool; he naturally understood there was something strange going on, and even the conversation between the man before him and Agard was highly suspicious.

'I keep feeling like some important information has slipped past me.'

Thinking of this, he began searching through his mind for any information about Ize.

Suddenly, Li Ang recalled a certain sentence Kalina had once said.

【Master Ize once had a conflict with a certain Grand Designer within the Immortal Evolution.】

Immortal Evolution

Combining this with Ma Ding's reminder from the other day, Li Ang couldn't help but glance at the tattooed bald man walking beside him.

As if sensing his gaze, Ize offered a perfectly polite smile—yet paired with the tattoos on his face, it somehow looked eerily sinister.

"."

Li Ang withdrew his gaze, unsure whether this alchemy master's appearance in the Obsidian Star Domain had anything to do with the Immortal Evolution.

Soon, the group arrived at the conference room inside the Viceroy's residence.

Although Ize's arrival was very sudden, the maids had still completed the setup of the venue ahead of time.

Looking at the artificial-human maids waiting quietly by the door, a flicker of curiosity crossed Ize's face.

This was the first time he had seen alchemy techniques of this kind, and it was one of the reasons he had come here.

However, considering the background of this little dragon whelp before him, some underhanded methods could no longer be employed.

After all, from the moment he entered the Viceroy's residence, Ize had sensed two utterly different terrifying auras.

One chaotic, one majestic.

Although these two auras meant little to him, their implications were enough for him to take the matter seriously.

Two Rank Five dragons appearing here without any mission—what that represented went without saying.

'Aio Logistics, huh... looks like this little one's background is no small matter.'

Thinking of this, Ize's eyes flickered slightly, and he silently made a certain decision in his heart.

And the two auras he sensed were undoubtedly Sophia and Iris—this was something Li Ang had signaled them to do, since someone of this man's status could easily identify the origins of the two dragons.

One knows one's own situation best; Li Ang understood perfectly well that there were no so-called elders behind him—unless he was willing to marry into the family, in which case Seth could count as an elder.

Of course, that was just talk; after all, this sort of thing ultimately depended on Sophia's wishes, even though this old dragon maiden didn't seem opposed.

After a brief silence, Li Ang spoke first: "If Master Ize has come for alchemy, then there's no need to waste your breath."

"The alchemy I know is a family inheritance; when my elder brother taught me, he warned me never to pass it on, so Master Ize—"

"Please leave."

【The Seven Great Kingdoms】 is, in a sense, indeed a family inheritance—after all, all dragons within the dragon race are descendants of the Black King, and the alchemy he now possessed was indeed taught by his "elder brother," so saying so wasn't really a lie.

Hearing this, Ize raised a brow. He had no eyebrows, so he could only lift his upper eyelid: "Not going to hear my terms first?"
