Dragon Raja 5; Chapter 399: For Your Majesty (214)

Dragon Raja 5

Natasha suddenly understood why Giovanni had used the Dragon Breath bullet. The Dragon Breath bullet posed little threat to their armored snowmobiles, but it would make the low-IQ hellhounds mistakenly believe that a giant dragon had appeared in the hunting grounds. Giovanni wanted to scare them away to buy time for Lu Mingfei.

The pack showed signs of disintegration at the edges, with a few hellhounds beginning to flee, but the pursuing convoy was blocking their way. They certainly didn’t want to get close to the heavily armed pursuers, but their fear of the dragon’s breath was clearly greater, and in their terror, they didn’t hesitate to pounce on one of the snowmobiles.

If it were just a single hellhound tentatively approaching, the snowmobile’s firepower would be more than enough to repel it. But when several terrified hellhounds pounced at the same time, the machine gunner on the snowmobile lost his composure. The machine gun roared continuously, spitting out half-meter-long flames, and blew the heads off two hellhounds in succession.

Only a few areas, such as the eyes, were weak points for hellhounds. Most hellhounds, relying on their tough scales, charge forward, leap into the air, and upon landing, first tear open the machine gunner’s throat, then rip out the driver’s heart. They were starving and immediately begin to eat, while the prey’s blood was still warm.

“We’re too close!” Natasha exclaimed.

“Aim at the fuel tank and fire,” Lu Lincheng calmly ordered.

The machine gunner in the snowmobile next to him immediately carried out the order. More experienced and composed, he blasted the blood-splattered snowmobile to smithereens with a three-round burst. snowmobiles moved slightly, closing the gaping hole.

Lu Lincheng’s command was originally fine. The snowmobiles could support each other, and their firepower was strong enough to deter a group of low-IQ beasts. However, the machine gunner on that snowmobile was too nervous. He could have scared away the hellhounds with more composed and accurate shooting.

“Winnie, stop messing around. You know the consequences of doing this,” Lu Lincheng said through a loudspeaker. His voice resonated across the frozen lake, carrying far yet remaining calm and gentle, much like a husband scolding his unruly wife at the dinner table, his words reproachful yet not overly harsh.

“Go to hell, Lu Lincheng,” Giovanni said with a smile. Usually, she was a capable and responsible housewife, but now she held her head high, her eyes sharp as knives, like a defiant swan, even under the hunter’s gun. “You brought that woman to negotiate with me? If you have the guts, shoot her dead before you negotiate with me!”

Natasha was taken aback, and was about to fly into a rage when Lu Lincheng grabbed her arm.

“Winnie, my relationship with Natasha isn’t what you think. She’s someone the committee arranged to take care of me, and I couldn’t refuse,” Lu Lincheng said gently.

“I understand correctly, taking care of you, spending more time with you, and maybe even having a child with you. For people like you, it’s just about reproduction, like those guinea fowl in a farm, sacrificing any one of them doesn’t matter. I don’t care either. I wish you happiness, I wish you joy, and many children. But Lu Mingfei is my son,” Giovanni’s voice suddenly softened as she pointed to her heart, “That child is mine. Anyone who dares to touch him, I will kill them.”

Her tone was indifferent, and when she said the word “kill,” she spoke as casually as if she were talking about eating. But no one would doubt her seriousness. Perhaps for some people, killing and eating are just things in life.

Natasha had always heard about Giovanni’s prowess from Lu Lincheng; even the committee maintained a certain level of respect for this housewife. But she simply didn’t believe it. Even if she was S-rank, it couldn’t be ruled out that she possessed extraordinary talent in intelligence or other areas. Even if, as Lu Lincheng said, Giovanni could kill her instantly at her peak, wouldn’t her hands, which had been handling rice for so many years, become dull? But when Giovanni uttered those words, a bright white light seemed to flash in her pupils, as cold as the glint of death’s scythe.

She pointed her gun at Natasha and pulled the trigger without hesitation. Natasha was so frightened that she immediately hid behind Lu Lincheng. The giant python’s magazine could hold six bullets, and no one could be sure what Giovanni’s next bullet would be.

Lu Lincheng remained calm, merely raising his hand slightly to shield his eyes. Another burst of flame, like the breath of a dragon, seemed to carry the roar of a giant dragon, but its range was ultimately limited. The scorching wind that swept over the pursuing team only brought a touch of warmth, like the winter sun.

However, several hellhounds that couldn’t dodge in time were burned by the dragon’s breath, with terrifying effects. The scales on the hellhounds’ bodies should have been able to withstand the close-range spray of the flamethrower, but the dragon’s breath ignited the scales, and the flames fiercely corroded their bones and flesh. They didn’t run far before howling and collapsing.

Natasha cautiously peeked out, while Lu Lincheng was wiping his glasses and sighed helplessly.

Giovanni was laughing heartily, and to others it looked like she was laughing so hard she couldn’t straighten up. In fact, she was secretly pressing her wound to avoid letting anyone see that she was seriously injured.

The wound stopped bleeding, and she felt she could still hold on, so she straightened her back again. “Lu Lincheng, this woman is no good, she’s still a child. You’re old, don’t ruin a child. People shouldn’t turn into beasts when they get old.”

“Yes, I also feel like I’m getting old and stupid.” Lu Lincheng sighed, wiped his glasses, and put them back on.

Natasha realized that Giovanni was just joking with her, and she was simply intimidated by Giovanni’s imposing manner. Everyone could see that Giovanni had scared her into hiding behind Lu Lincheng with just a few words, and Giovanni spoke of herself as if she were talking about a trivial lover. Lu Lincheng didn’t deny it either; the two of them talked in perfect harmony, oblivious to else, just like a married couple chatting at the dinner table.

Jealousy was like a poisonous flame, burning her heart with pain. She gritted her teeth, trembling with anger.

“Winnie, this won’t do. He can’t leave like this. Sooner or later he’ll lose himself and become a vessel for that devil.” He paused, then said softly, “When that thousand years are over, Satan will be released from his prison and will come out to deceive the nations of the four corners of the earth, namely Gog and Magog, and gather them together for war. Their numbers will be as numerous as the sea of​​​sand.” These were verses from the Bible, familiar to the believers, but when he spoke them, in the biting cold wind and smelling the blood emanating from the pack of hellhounds, everyone involuntarily shivered, as if they could see that apocalyptic future with their own eyes.

“If God commands a mother to kill her child, he is not God and should be pulled down from his golden throne,” Giovanni said coldly. “If you want to catch him, go ahead and run him over.”
