Dragon Raja 5; Chapter 343: For Your Majesty (158)

Dragon Raja 5

“But I would be very willing to fulfill the wishes of that dead girl!” Christina suddenly said.

A white snake tail rose from behind little Bunin, coiled around his neck, and lifted him off the ground. The slender snake tail constricted like a rope, and in an instant, little Bunin was foaming at the mouth.

A violent rage suddenly flashed across the snake woman’s alluring face, her golden compound eyes seeming to spit flames. “You despicable scum! You deserve nothing! You don’t deserve that woman! You don’t deserve her daughter!”

Anyone could hear the pain hidden in her words; at this moment, Christina was roaring through the snake woman’s mouth. The entire space trembled with her rage, and Lu Mingfei didn’t know whether he should be terrified or saddened.

She had not forgotten that her loneliness and sorrow were like a raging storm, and that her consciousness, or rather her soul, still existed in some form within the snake woman’s body, which even the dragon’s heart could not suppress.

Amidst the raging storm, another voice rang out, calling out, “Christina…Christina…”

The hoarse cries echoed in the surrounding darkness, sounding more like a plea for mercy.

The dying old Bunin was struggling to crawl toward Christina, leaving a long trail of blood behind him, dark red and thick, like a mop drawn with blood.

But no one paid him any attention. Christina roared as she strangled the real Bunin, the dying old man who was just a copy and a fake of this Bunin, not even worthy of calling her his daughter or being strangled by her.

“You can no longer hurt me!” Christina laughed cruelly and menacingly. “The Christina who could be afraid is dead!”

“No, no! Christina! I love you! I never meant to hurt you!” Little Bunin struggled to speak, on the verge of suffocation. “For so many years, I’ve always…”

He struggled to pull off his scarf, revealing a sparkling yellow diamond hidden beneath, identical to the one Christina had crushed.

There are very few top-quality yellow diamonds in the world. Each one has its own name and is polished by craftsmen according to the shape of the rough stone in order to present its most perfect form.

It cannot be replicated unless it is still a rough stone, in which case a giant diamond is divided into two equal pieces, which would undoubtedly result in a significant loss of value.

Christina grabbed the pendant, her expression subtly changing. She had reacted similarly the last time she saw this pendant on Lu Mingfei’s chest.

This thing has a deep connection with her mother, and even though she has obtained the dragon’s heart, it still evokes old memories for her.

“I’ve worn it all these years. I also know you’re wearing another one,” Little Bunin said weakly. “That’s a keepsake from my wedding to your mother.”

After a moment of silence, Christina released his long tail, letting him fall onto the pier. She simply gazed quietly at the yellow diamond and sighed softly.

Little Bunin coughed violently for a long time, then sat up, panting, lit a cigarette, took a deep drag, and exhaled a wisp of smoke into the air.

“Christina, and gentlemen of the Romanov family, I know you’ve been listening intently. Would you like to hear the confession of a fallen man?” he said softly in English that Lu Mingfei could understand, his voice as beautiful as poetry.

Christina was still quietly looking at the yellow diamond. This time she didn’t destroy it, probably because she no longer needed to say goodbye to the past in such a resolute way.

“When I was very young, I was very curious about how the world worked. Was it like a machine? Countless parts were assembled together, so there had to be someone operating it, right? But who was the one operating this machine? How could I become the one operating the machine?” Little Bunin said quietly. decision-makers, but in reality, the decisions came from even bigger big shots. It was a food chain with no end in sight, but every chain has an end, and there must be someone sitting there, waiting for food to be delivered to their mouth. This idea was terrifying and interesting. It was always in my mind, but I probably would never find that person at the end of the food chain in my entire life. I was too insignificant… until I received that mysterious phone call.”

Lu Mingfei felt a chill. Hadn’t he also received a mysterious phone call that rainy night in Tokyo? Aside from those childhood secrets, he had no evidence that the caller was truly Lu Lincheng. “He recruited me and opened a hidden door in front of me, and I finally saw the dark side of the world. The people at the top of the food chain are all hiding in that dark side, managing their food chain through agents like me. I do the dirtiest work for my master, my hands are stained with the blood of all kinds of people. Once you do it once, you will do it again. The more you do it, the deeper you get into it. No one who steps into this game can get out unscathed. If I quit, someone will be responsible for wiping my blood clean.”

Lu Mingfei was horrified. The dark side of the world—what is the dark side of the world?

He had thought that the Secret Society and the constantly awakening ancient dragons were the dark side of the world, but that was only the “unknown” darkness. Alexander Bunin saw the true darkness: masters and servants, a bloody food chain, and cruel laws of survival.

And those rulers in the shadows also know the secrets of the dragon race.

Little Bunin didn’t seem to be lying; he was emotional, his voice trembling slightly, as if he was trying hard to control his emotions. Lu Mingfei couldn’t find any logical flaws in his words either.

“From the moment I was chosen by that phone call, I was someone’s slave.” Little Bunin pointed to the corpses Christina had used as nourishment, now withered and rotten like wood. suffered the torment I did. My dear Christina, the world I’ve seen is a furnace; you either get burned or become one of the ones burning it.”

He suddenly struggled to his feet, walked towards Christina, clenched his fists, and roared, “But from this day forward, everything is different! You were born! You brought us glory and greatness! We have finally obtained the supreme bloodline! From now on, we no longer need to fear those masters hiding in the darkness! We will sit with them at the grand banquet table and become the masters of this world!”

“Don’t believe him, Christina!” Lu Mingfei suddenly roared, “He’s a liar!”

In the first half of his speech, he was somewhat emotional; it was a villain’s confession, and it was undeniably sincere. But as it went on, it became increasingly formulaic, with words like power, domination, and greatness appearing frequently.

This rhetoric might fool the newborn Christina, but it wouldn’t fool Lu Mingfei. In this scheme, Lu Mingze was a far more eloquent orator than Little Bunin, and Lu Mingfei has been brainwashed by him repeatedly, to the point that he’s become immune to it.
