Chapter 349: Chapter 222 Little Great-Grandson, Don’t Be Afraid_2

"Are you better than Alexander?"

Upon hearing Noah’s praise, Wayne abruptly inquired.

"Of course, without my guidance and training, Alexander is far inferior to you."

"And now?"

Wayne raised an eyebrow. Honestly, even though this elder brother of his by blood now had a reputation as brilliant as the sun, with many viewing him as the next guardian of the Kingdom, Wayne still did not take him seriously.

"You would make very suitable rivals, though only in the arena, as for a fight to the death, I believe there is no such hatred between you two."

"Rivals?"

Wayne neither agreed nor disagreed. Although he did not acknowledge the Holy Dragon’s judgment, he could not argue against it until they truly clashed.

"Is there anything else you want to ask?"

"What is your aim with your plans for me?"

"I want to recruit you. Your father once abandoned you, sending you to me when he found you unsatisfactory. Now that you have grown and achieved success, he wishes to bring you back. It doesn’t work like that; if anyone is to recruit you, it should be me first. He can line up behind me."

Noah spoke frankly.

When dealing with someone like Wayne, who grew up in a complex environment, sincerity is the best way to communicate. Using lies to deceive may not necessarily succeed. Even if it can work temporarily, eventually the truth will emerge, planting hidden dangers for the future.

"Recruit me?"

Wayne was surprised at how straightforward the Holy Dragon before him was and fell silent momentarily.

In his past, when he was still weak, some devils who did not value their lives had come forth, trying to enslave him, but he had slain them all, devouring their souls.

He almost forgot how the last fool who bragged about recruiting him ended. It had been a long time since anyone dared to make such a demand of him.

However, the entity before him desiring to recruit him was different from all the previous ignorant fools. It was a Holy Dragon revered by tens of millions of beings.

Even he, casting aside personal emotions stemming from birth issues, held great admiration for this dragon.

Because, truly, as a self-proclaimed Dark Knight, he was also an idealist, striving tirelessly for an ideal he knew was unattainable.

Idealists tend to admire and attract one another.

That is why Wayne chose to remain in Elisium for so many years. Although only four or five short years had passed, for someone just over thirty, it was indeed a significant period.

"Though you are practically already in my service, I believe it’s necessary to clarify certain matters."

Noah expressed these intentions to keep the young man truly at his side.

If things were not made clear, this young man would unhesitatingly leave. As a drifter, he had no concept of home in his heart.

"Are you unaware of my Hell Bloodline?"

"Do you know which is the most friendly territory to Tifflins on the Xilantia Continent?"

Noah retorted.

"..."

The answer was evident. Since Wayne left his homeland as a child, he had not encountered a city more tolerant of Tifflins than his hometown.

Of course, it wasn’t that Tifflins wouldn’t face discrimination in the Holy Dragon’s territory, but at least their lives weren’t threatened, and survival was guaranteed.

"Is it the Titan Bloodline awakened in me that you value?"

Wayne whispered softly. The awakening of his Titan Bloodline was the reason his father desperately sought reconciliation, which was also the most intolerable thing for him.

"Are you misunderstanding something?"

Noah looked at the young man below, exuding an unwarranted confidence,

"The Titan Bloodline is indeed very powerful, but the little trace you awakened pales in comparison to a true Titan. If you think this bloodline alone could attract me, you are both underestimating me and belittling yourself."

The Golden Dragon coiled atop the throne lifted its head, then lowered its gaze,

"What I value is the potential you’ve demonstrated."

"My potential?"

Wayne subconsciously stepped backward. This was the first time he had shown a retreating action since entering the Dragon Palace.

His rapid growth touched upon his most important secret, one known only to himself so far.

His promotion speed was indeed unusual, attracting some factions to probe him, but he had fended them off with a strong stance.

Although in hindsight, his ability to maintain such a stance was entirely due to the influence of the Augustus family and the Holy Dragon, he was confident in one point: the secret he held had no connection to the Augustus family.

The Augustus family had founded the Kingdom ruling the Eastern Territory by suppressing hell’s catastrophe.

How could such a family be related to Hell?

"Are you afraid?"

Seeing the young man step back, Noah bent his head lower. His eyes, larger than the young man, gently rotated, reflecting the young man’s troubled face in his slit pupils,

"What are you afraid of? Do you worry that I will pry into your secrets?"

Crackling~

Golden, brilliant thunder shone on the young man’s body, accompanied by an ancient aura, and his body began to expand, entering giantification.

However, amidst this process, billows of black gas erupted, engulfing the Golden Thunder, transforming into a venomous Big Snake entwining his revealed giant form.

"Don’t be rash, young grandnephew!"

As the young man erupted and revealed the True Body of the Titan Giant, Noah extended a Dragon Claw, pressing it down to subdue him instantly, leaving only his head and limbs exposed, immobilized.

Meanwhile, the dark thunder, almost gaining sentience, collided with golden Dragon Scales, instantly rebuffed by the innate Divine Marks on the scales, scattering on the spot.

"The repair costs here are quite expensive; ease up, or I’m afraid you can’t afford it."

"Uncle Noah, should I address you this way? Did you summon me to seal me?"

At this point, Wayne, suppressed under Noah’s Dragon Claw, appeared to relent, but his gaze remained firm, seemingly with other plans.

"Of course not, why would I seal you? Have you committed any evil acts?"

Noah chuckled slightly, watching his overreacting grandnephew,

"I can understand and empathize with your response, but let me clarify, I have no interest in your secrets. The talent of infinitely devouring Souls holds no value for me."

With those words, Wayne, who was still contemplating countermeasures, calmed down; he had been thoroughly seen through,

"It appears you know me very well."

"Of course, I even have records of you in split-bottom pants and when you lost your virginity. It’s all documented."

"Why would you keep such records?"

The Titan Giant, with black hair, black eyes, wrapped in sinister Demonic Qi as if he had descended into Hell, turned pale.

"Isn’t it normal for a caring elder to have such records?"

Noah questioned curiously, pondering how some image stones might seem trivial at the time but would be priceless after decades or centuries,

"Similarly, as an elder, I should remind you that the gifts of destiny have long been secretly marked with a price. One day, you will pay it all.

By then, are you sure you possess the means to pay?"
