Dragon Raja: Starting with Deadpool, Evolving Through Devouring

This is why he went to the trouble of personally inviting Cao Han to the Beowulf family, fearing he would be rejected.

Unexpectedly, before they even reached Beowulf's territory, they wandered onto Sigurd's land.

Cao Han's face darkened. "Can't I even pay a visit to the senior?"

"Of course you can, but it's not really your style."

Even from a distance, he could picture Angers's disrespectful laughter on the other end of the phone.

Of course, jokes should be kept within limits; going too far will backfire and annoy people. "I hope my friend can still sit up in bed."

Angers may seem to have played a cruel joke, but it is the truth.

Hybrids generally live longer than ordinary people, especially those with superior bloodlines.

However, those who live to the extent of Angers are extremely rare.

He could not recall the last time he had been in contact with his old friend Sigurd, which was at least ten years ago.

Currently, the family's main affairs are handled by his son and granddaughter working together, one inside and one outside the family. The granddaughter, who is in charge of the internal affairs, is none other than Grammer Zigurd, the target of Cao Han's trip.

Cao Han didn't have to wait long before he saw an eight-seater electric sightseeing vehicle heading towards the entrance from afar.

The afternoon sun shone through the glass windows of the tour bus, reflecting off the girl in the embroidered dress and highlighting her snow-white skin.

What attracted Cao Han most at first glance was the deep and bright eyes opposite him, as if they could see into the depths of people's hearts. The slender eyebrows were slightly raised, revealing a sharpness that was no less than that of a man.

After stepping off the tour bus, Grammer Ziegler stood tall and straight, each step causing her skirt to sway gently, displaying the elegance and composure unique to the nobility.

Her hair was styled in a high bun, with a few wisps of hair gently brushing past her ears, adding a touch of softness to her cool demeanor; the thin belt around her waist accentuated her well-proportioned figure, while the long sword in her hand added a touch of heroic spirit.

All of the above demonstrates that the girl before us is undoubtedly a noble and well-trained daughter of a knight. Every movement and every smile of hers exudes confidence and power, making one want to pay even more attention to her.

"Mr. Cao Han, I have long admired your name."

"Haha, this beautiful lady must be Miss Grammer, the jewel of the Sigurd family, right?"

"It is my honor to have your name remembered!" Grammer was indeed very surprised.

Due to certain issues related to their identity, coupled with the family's intentional desire to keep a low profile.

Not only within the Secret Society, but even within the Sigurd family itself, not everyone was aware of Grammer's existence.

She came to the castle entrance only after receiving personal instructions from her grandfather.

Before this, in order to prolong his life, my grandfather had long since completely stopped caring about family matters.

At first, Grammer wondered why, but the moment he saw Cao Han, he knew the answer.

The notification from the Peruvian Party's board of directors had already reached the Sigurd family the day before yesterday and was still on her desk.

The youngest school board member in the history of the Secret Service, even if it's just an honorary title.

It's unclear why this young man, who was so popular within the Secret Party, would suddenly visit their family.

"I wonder what brings Mr. Cao Han here so suddenly?" Grammer asked cautiously.

As the Secret Service became the Kassel College, the Sigurd and Beowulf families, among others, supposedly became members of the Senate, but it is an undeniable fact that they gradually faded from the center of power.

Although they still maintain the same pace as the Secret Party in "slaying the dragon," their relationship is certainly not as close as it used to be.

Grammer also had to be wary of whether the families of the board of trustees had any ill intentions towards them and then sent Cao Han over.

Despite her seemingly calm demeanor as she stands before Cao Han, only she knows the true extent of the pressure she is under.

It exudes an aura of tyranny inside and out; beneath its harmless exterior lies a ferocious beast that devours people.

Aura, though seemingly ethereal, is a very real thing for those with keen senses, and the stronger one is, the more acute their senses become.

In Grammer's perception, Cao Han was surrounded by a constantly spreading blood aura, which eventually converged behind him to form a terrifying, gaping maw.

It is born by heart.

Each evolution requires plundering the source of life and devouring the power of bloodlines; isn't that just a gaping maw that keeps devouring?

While Grammer was sizing up Cao Han, Cao Han was also sizing him up.

"His seemingly righteous and peaceful aura conceals an extremely sharp edge, much like a sword hidden in its sheath, which only those with exceptionally keen perception can detect."

What Cao Han found a little strange was that the extremely sharp aura was slightly out of sync.

These days, everyone has a few "little secrets," and he had no intention of digging any deeper.

It is sufficient to judge from the aura that the hunting target is not a particularly vicious or evil person.

"I came to the Sigurd family this time simply to see Miss Grammer," Cao Han said truthfully.

Upon hearing this, Grammer Zigurd's face showed a look of astonishment.

Various possible answers flashed through her mind, but she never considered it in her own case.

Cao Han's serious expression didn't seem like he was joking, so as to say that the other party was deliberately flirting with her?

Those clear eyes held absolutely no trace of romantic love.

"See me? Why?"

“There’s a guy named ‘Tongzi’ who wants to kill you, and he’s willing to pay a lot of money!”

Don't be afraid of thieves stealing, just be afraid of thieves missing you.

Grammer Zigurd was clearly unaware that Cao Han was joking, and his furrowed brows suggested that he was genuinely troubled and annoyed by the matter.

Firstly, she was wondering what the relationship was between the guy who wanted to buy her life and Cao Han.

Secondly, this person was able to offer a price to hire someone like Cao Han, so he was clearly no ordinary person.

Being watched from the shadows by such a person would likely cause anyone with a weaker mental fortitude to lose sleep and appetite.

As for concerns that Cao Han might harm him, Grammer Zigurd was quite at ease.

To put it bluntly, if Cao Han really wanted to do something, she would have been dead countless times already, so there was absolutely no need for him to tell her the truth.

"Although it may be presumptuous of me to ask this, I would still like to ask what I need to give Mr. Cao Han in order to tell me the information about this 'system'?"

"Uh......"

Cao Han belatedly realized that his joke might have gone a bit too far, and quickly tried to dispel the other party's concerns, saying, "We are all very principled and will only target those who are willing to die."

I've already made a judgment based on the aura emanating from you.

Therefore, Miss Grammer need not worry about this!

Good upbringing made her suppress the urge to roll her eyes. If she weren't really no match for Cao Han, Grammer would have loved to say, "It's easy for you to say that when you're not the one suffering the consequences."

From another perspective, Cao Han's visit wasn't entirely bad news.

At least Grammer knew about this and was able to take precautions in advance, and Cao Han himself was the best news.

Any mixed-race power or family with a bit of ambition would want to win over Cao Han.

With the addition of such a formidable figure, they would be an invincible weapon when it comes to dividing the spoils after the decisive battle with the dragons.

"Sigurd, since you've come all the way to our Sigurd family, if we don't invite you in and give you a proper welcome, other families in the Secret Society might start questioning our hospitality."

"I……"

Cao Han was about to politely decline Grammer's invitation, but before he could finish speaking...

boom! boom! boom!

A huge explosion suddenly came from another direction of the castle, probably the sound of a grenade exploding.

From their position, they could see thick smoke billowing up in that direction.

The sudden turn of events caught both of them off guard.

"Has the Sigurd family encountered an external enemy?" Cao Han didn't expect to run into such a coincidence. Seeing the suspicion in Grammer's eyes, he quickly distanced himself, saying, "Don't misunderstand, those people really have nothing to do with me."

“I know that with your abilities, Mr. Cao Han, there is absolutely no need for you to resort to such methods.”

Grammer's use of "such methods" refers to the fact that the gang of thugs who suddenly broke into the Sigurd family's castle used all modern weapons.

First came a barrage of hand grenades to clear the way, followed by modern infantry vehicles rampaging through the castle, their light machine guns spitting fire into the interior.

On both sides, there were at least fifty people armed with various firearms who launched an attack.

Such dense barrage of modern weapons forced even hybrids to temporarily retreat and seek cover.

Perhaps the members of the Sigurd family were also somewhat caught off guard, so they appeared a little flustered when dealing with the situation and each acted on their own.

"Your family seems to be lacking a leader."

"The matter is sudden, so I must excuse myself for now."

Grammer naturally noticed this as well, apologized, and was about to head towards the area where the chaos had occurred.

She had only taken two steps when she couldn't help but frown, because unfortunately, she was wearing a long skirt, which was quite inconvenient.

Shila-

Without hesitating for less than a second, Grammer decisively bent down and ripped off the part of her long skirt below the knee.

With no obstacle in sight, her eyes instantly blazed with golden light, and she sprinted off in that direction like a nimble cheetah.

"Tsk tsk tsk~ What a strong and resilient rose!"

Cao Han was amazed by the scene and also curious about who the people who attacked the Siegfried family castle were.

The distance did not hinder his perception.

Cao Han did not detect any dragon-related aura on these people, meaning that they could not possibly be hybrids.

Then the problem is coming.

If they aren't half-bloods, what gave these people the courage to provoke an old family like the Sigurds?

Based on the modern weapons they possess?

These modern weapons did catch the Sigurd family members off guard at first, causing destruction and numerous casualties.

While they were basking in the glory of their amazing "achievements," they did not realize that their actions were tantamount to waking a sleeping lion.

The Treaty of Abraham?

The existence of hybrids cannot be revealed to ordinary people?

With people beating us up to our doorstep, who cares about any of this!
