I, Valon, am frantically searching for my mother.

It must be said that, as a natural ambush predator, the green dragon's synergy with invisibility is terrifyingly high.

Almost instantly after gaining the advanced stealth ability, Tia turned the tide of the battle with her seasoned combat experience!

"Pfft!"

The sound of claws tearing through scales was sickening.

Tiana's sharp claws precisely cut into the base of Angelina's left wing, tearing off a large chunk of bloody muscle in the process.

Immediately following, another heavy dragon tail whip lashed out, striking Angelina hard in the abdomen.

"roar--!!"

Angelina let out a bloodcurdling scream. Faced with the relentless attacks from an invisible target, she was simply unable to defend herself.

The once noble blue dragon queen rolled on the ground in a sorry state, her scales torn, her wing membranes ripped, and her body riddled with bloody holes of all sizes.

"Tia! You despicable, shameless bastard!"

Angelina struggled to her feet. Despite suffering several major losses, as a powerful blue dragon, she still maintained basic combat abilities and a clear mind.

Almost instantly, Angelina made the right choice.

run!

"Tia! You've got some nerve this time! Just you wait! Once I've healed, I'll be back..."

She spoke fiercely, but was actually quite weak, while staggering as she tried to take flight.

However, the body is always more honest than the mouth.

The instant she took off, Angelina swung her massive dragon tail, hurling a heavy leather bag hanging from it into the scorched earth in the distance.

"Clang!"

The leather bag ripped open, scattering gold coins, gems, and glittering handicrafts all over the ground, reflecting an alluring light in the sunlight.

As a blue dragon, Angelina loves money more than anything, but in many situations, life is always more precious than wealth.

Sure enough, Tia, who was about to flap her wings and give chase, suddenly stopped when she heard the crisp sound of the gold coin hitting the ground.

Her vertical pupils, which had been fixed on Angelina's back, were instantly drawn to the pile of glittering things.

"Hmph, you're lucky you ran fast."

Tia snorted coldly, symbolically chased after the treasure a few times, then quickly spun around and grabbed at the treasure that Angelina had thrown down.

Tia did not choose to continue the pursuit, not because she was deceived by Angelina's clumsy tricks, but because she knew very well that she had almost no chance of killing her.

For Tia, being able to inflict such a significant loss and a minor injury on the other side was already a very satisfactory result.

As for the other party holding a grudge and seeking revenge...

Just kidding, when it comes to holding grudges, who can compare to the Green Dragon?

It's more accurate to say that Angelina is the one who shouldn't be sleeping well right now, since she'll be facing Tia's possible retaliation and ambush for quite some time to come.

Of course, there was another reason why Tia didn't choose to pursue:

She couldn't wait to see her precious, mischievous little son.

Children are like the apple of their mother's eye, let alone such outstanding offspring.

"Little God, where will you wait for your mother?"

Tia glanced at the portion of treasure she held in her hand, then at Angelina's disappearing silhouette in the sky, licked her lips, and revealed an extremely human-like, impatient smile.

"Mom, I can't wait to see you."

……

Inside the dragon's nest, the lingering scent of herbs and a faint smell of blood still lingered.

Tia's enormous body squeezed into the cave, casually tossing the bag of treasure stained with Angelina's blood onto the ground, gold coins rolling everywhere.

Her vertical pupils swept across the dark corner and instantly locked onto Lina, who was huddled inside.

"Lina!"

Tia's voice was deep, hoarse from the battle, and carried an undeniable authority.

Where is Wayne?

Originally, Lina, who had been badly tricked by Wayne before, wanted to take this opportunity to add fuel to the fire and say more things to get revenge on him.

But as a clever green dragon, Lina clearly sensed that the atmosphere wasn't quite right, so she decisively chose to tell the truth:

"Mom, Wayne said he wants to go out and gain experience for a while, and he will be back in a year at the latest."

"Experience?"

Tia's voice suddenly rose in pitch, and the temperature inside the cave plummeted.

"Is he, a mere child who hasn't even reached adulthood, going out to his death by leaving his mother?!"

Upon hearing that her beloved son had actually run away from home, Tia felt a surge of anger almost instantly.

The green dragon mother's desire to control her offspring was terrifyingly high.

A cub as rebellious as Wayne, who actually tried to break free from his mother's control, should have been severely disciplined by his mother's maternal love long ago, and then locked in the nest until he grew up!

"My brother said you don't need to worry about him, and he asked me to give you this."

As she spoke, Lina handed the things that Wayne had given her to Tia.

It was a scale, a scale belonging to Wayne, its edges carefully polished. On the back of the scale, crooked words were engraved with something sharp—a message from Wayne to her.

Tia took the small scale with her paw, scanned the words on it, and the anger in her eyes subsided slightly, but she felt more annoyed at being tricked.

That little rascal, he actually knew to leave a message.

But this does not mean he can escape punishment.

Tia made a decision: if she caught Wayne again and her precious son still refused to listen to her, she would have no choice but to resort to some extreme measures.

For example, hypnosis and mind control...

Just as Tia was about to roar and order the entire nest to search for Wayne, a rapid and heavy flapping sound came from the cave entrance.

Bondi stumbled in, its golden feathers disheveled, clearly having just finished a grueling chase.

"Tia...Your Majesty!"

Upon seeing the Queen, who was in a fit of rage, Bondi immediately fell to the ground, his voice filled with fear.

"I have failed in my duties! Please punish me!"

Tia turned her massive head, her gaze piercing as she stared at her, her tone chillingly calm, the calm before a storm:

"Bandi, explain yourself. I asked you to take my little one back, how did you lose him?"

Tia was angry not only because her beloved son chose to leave her, his mother, but more importantly, because she couldn't bear the fact that her plan had gone wrong.

According to her plan, even if the little guy could become invisible, with Bondi who could see through invisibility, he should be caught obediently!

The immense dragon's might spread almost instantly, and Lina trembled as she hid in a corner to avoid incurring her mother's wrath.

The Griffin, who was bearing the pressure head-on, was crushed to the ground by the immense force. Bondi trembled and swallowed hard.

"Your Majesty, spare me! I... I could have brought... brought Your Highness back with me."

"But...but His Highness...he seems to have mastered a high-level acceleration technique...I really can't keep up with His Highness..."
