NFBE Chapter 157 Dragon Clan
Chapter 157 Dragon Clan
After saying that, Yang Xining took out his cell phone and called Dias.
All I got was the cold voice of the customer service.
Why didn't Dias answer the phone?
But not long after, the phone rang.
When Yang Xining saw that it was Dias' call, he immediately picked up the phone, with a hint of urgency in his tone: "Yas, are you okay? Why did you leave suddenly?"
On the other end of the phone, Dias' voice sounded a little tired, but still gentle: "Xining, I'm fine. I just have some things to deal with, so I left temporarily. I didn't expect to make you so worried, I'm really sorry."
Hearing that Dias was safe, Yang Xining finally felt relieved. She breathed a sigh of relief: "I'm glad you're okay. I thought something happened to you. Where are you now? Are you safe?"
"I'm dealing with some matters and I'm almost done. I'll be back as soon as possible, don't worry." Dias' words were soothing, which made Yang Xining feel relieved.
"Okay, then you be careful. When you come back, we'll have a good reunion." After Yang Xining finished speaking, he hung up the phone, turned to look at everyone, with a look of relief in his eyes.
"Brother, he..." Qi Lin asked cautiously upon seeing this.
"He's fine, he's just dealing with his own business." Yang Xining smiled and explained, "But it seems that I really need to plan my future life carefully."
Hearing this, although Lu Xinghan felt a little reluctant, he still nodded: "Brother, no matter what decision you make, I support you. If you need help, just ask."
Mo Junli, Yan Tian and Qi Lin also expressed their support. They knew that Yang Xining was a person with his own plans and ideas.
"Thank you," Yang Xining nodded. Looking at the four people, a warm feeling welled up in his heart. He lowered his eyes to look at the small bowls piled up in front of him: "Okay, the food is getting cold, let's eat first."
On the other side, after Dias hung up the phone, he struggled to maintain the posture of kneeling on one knee. The severe pain in his chest seemed to tear him apart.
He stared at the blond, blue-eyed man in front of him—Adilide.
These days, he has been looking for an opportunity to find Adilde and get rid of him when Xining is away.
However, Adilade's magical power is growing stronger day by day, and he is no longer the little druid who used to follow him and call him uncle.
"Tsk tsk, uncle, I really overestimated you," Adilide said sarcastically, "Back then, you protected Idris so much that you were willing to lose your looks for her. Now, you are hiding Idris' daughter. Do you think that Idris will look up to you if you do this? You look disgusting now."
"Nothing to do with you."
Dias' face turned pale, and he tried to turn his head away to avoid Adilde's provocative and sarcastic gaze.
However, Adilide did not intend to give up. He walked forward, grabbed Dias's hair hard, and forced him to look at him.
"It has nothing to do with me?" Adilide sneered, his eyes full of contempt. "Uncle, you really brought shame to the Jiaolong Clan. Once upon a time, you were the pride of our clan and the best among the younger generation. But now, look at yourself. For a woman, you have become so humble and unbearable. Where is your glory? Where is your dignity? Where have they gone?"
Dias' body trembled slightly, he closed his eyes and tried to calm himself down.
Adilide continued cruelly: "You have become a coward, a coward who can only hide in the dark and survive."
"Enough!" Dias finally couldn't stand it anymore. He broke free from Adilde's hand and glared at him: "Adilde, you've crossed the line."
A sneer appeared on Adilde's lips, and his cold green eyes were like an ice cellar in the deep winter.
"Uncle, you are so naive. Do you think that you can win the favor of Idoris just by your sacrifice and protection? You are wrong. What she values is never your appearance or your loyalty, but the benefits you and the dragon clan can bring to her."
Dias' face turned even paler when he heard this.
"Even so, I have no regrets. Everything I did was out of responsibility to my family and my promise to her. And you, Adilde, your ambition and cruelty will only make you go further and further down this path, and eventually lose everything."
Adilide shook his head in disdain, as if he found Dias's persistence ridiculous. "Uncle, you are so stubborn. But this is exactly what I expected. Your persistence will only make me more determined to destroy everything you cherish. Including Idorus and her daughter."
Hearing this, Dias' eyes flashed with anger: "If you dare to hurt them, I swear, even if it costs my life, I will make you pay the price."
"Price?" Adilde sneered, as if he had heard a big joke. "Uncle, do you think you are qualified to talk to me about the price now? Your power, your status, and even your appearance have been destroyed by your so-called love and loyalty. Now, you are nothing but a poor creature with nothing."
Dias clenched his fists, his nails digging deep into his palms, the pain kept him awake.
He knew that what Edired said was true, but he would never allow anyone to hurt Idoris's daughter.
"Edired, I won't let you succeed. As long as I have a breath left, I will protect them and the Poseidon clan." Dias' voice was low and firm, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth.
Adilide just smiled contemptuously. He stretched out his palm and a ball of blue energy gathered in his palm. "Uncle, do you think you can still stop me? You can't even stand steadily now."
Dias gritted his teeth and tried to stand up, but the severe pain in his chest made it almost impossible for him to breathe.
He took a deep breath, mobilized the remaining strength in his body, and prepared for the upcoming battle.
However, reality is always cruel.
Adilide's magic power swept in like a violent storm. Although Dias tried his best, he was still like a candle in the wind and was vulnerable.
He was hit hard, his body rolled several times in the air, and finally fell to the ground powerlessly, spitting blood from his mouth, his face as pale as paper.
"Tell me, where is Idorus's daughter?" Adilide pressed on.
"Even if you kill me, I won't tell you." Dias raised his head with difficulty, his eyes full of indomitable spirit and determination.
Adilide squatted down, looking at Dias's miserable appearance, with a cruel smile on his face: "Do you think you can protect her like this? How ridiculous. Uncle, you really disappoint me. But it doesn't matter, I will always find a way to find her. And you, just lie here and wait for me to deal with her, and then I will deal with you."
After saying that, Adilde stood up, turned into a puff of smoke, and disappeared on the spot.
After he left, Dias slumped to the ground, gasping for breath.
