I, Valon, am frantically searching for my mother.

Hey~

Vivian never expected that the powerful Golden Dragon Lord would be an orphan.

No wonder she always felt that although this Golden Dragon Lord did things righteously, he always had a sinister air about him. It turned out that he had been an orphan since childhood.

Indeed, a child without a mother is like a blade of grass. Even the Golden Dragon Lord would become twisted and distorted without his mother.

Vivian stretched out her two little hands.

Before Wayne could fully recover from the embarrassment of being questioned about his orphan status, she suddenly grabbed Wayne's head and pulled it to her flat chest!

Then, she comforted Wayne as if she were giving candy to the children.

Vivian lovingly stroked Wayne's thick, black hair with one hand, while gently patting his back with the other.

"Puffing away, don't be scared~"

Vivian spoke in a voice that was a mixture of sympathy and heartache.

"I never expected your mother to be dead, Master Jinlong..."

"But don't be afraid!"

Her tone suddenly became firm, and she puffed out her not-so-ample chest, bringing Wayne's face closer, trying to convey a sense of reliability.

"Lord Golden Dragon, you are a truly good dragon! Even someone like me, who cannot fully uphold justice and has done bad things, can feel your shining righteous soul deep in my heart!"

"if……"

After settling in, Vivi continued:

"If the other golden dragons on Mount Valius refuse to accept you because of your... well, your somewhat unique upbringing, or for some other reason..."

"Then just come to me!"

"My mother is a very kind and gentle country woman!"

Vivian announced it triumphantly, as if introducing some rare treasure.

"Although she doesn't know much, has limited experience, and doesn't have much money, she's incredibly kind! Her heart is as soft as freshly baked cream pudding! She loves children and animals the most!"

"If you, Lord Golden Dragon, don't mind that we are just ordinary humans and our families are poor..."

"Let her be your mother too! She'd be thrilled! Having such a capable and handsome son like Jinlong would make her laugh in her sleep!"

"Then we'll go back to the countryside together. My mom will grow vegetables and raise chickens, and I... I'll continue being a monk. You can just sunbathe in the yard. Wouldn't that be wonderful!"

Vivian suddenly hugged him to her chest, his face pressed against the thin linen mage's robe, and he could clearly feel the girl's warm body temperature beneath the fabric.

And that small, human heart, pounding rapidly in the chest cavity.

Vivian's heart was beating very fast; you could tell she was really nervous.

Vivian definitely has reason to be nervous.

If Wayne's mothers find out that he just said "Your mother is dead," then there will definitely be a human-dragon war.

If their mothers were to fight each other, then Vivian's human country mother would have to fight three dragons all by herself.

However, Vivian didn't care about that; she only cared about how to take advantage of Master Jinlong during this opportunity.

"..."

Wayne was silent for a few seconds, then gently pushed Vivian away.

Vivian's face still held a blush of affection and lingering affection, as if she wanted to say something more.

Wayne didn't give her a chance.

He raised his right hand, bent his index and middle fingers, and placed them on Vivian's smooth forehead—

"Thump! Thump! Thump!"

He knocked three times.

"Ouch! That hurts!"

Vivian immediately let go, covered her head with her hands, and squatted down with tears in her eyes, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, looking up at Wayne pitifully.

"Wow... I'm so sorry, Mr. Golden Dragon... I... I didn't expect that Jade Newspaper, which seems so powerful and famous, would be so unprofessional... They even missed the key point you mentioned..."

"well--"

Wayne let out a long sigh.

"Forget it, you've only been in Hel for three months, what could you possibly know? Anyway, at least this selection is a sure thing."

Wayne sighed. Well, if he's not a professional, he'll just have to give a beautiful speech about his orphan experiences to move the other dragons.

"Thank you, Master Jinlong!"

Vivian rubbed her still-sore forehead, stood up from the ground, and asked weakly:

"Then... Lord Golden Dragon..."

"Should we also cancel the entire week-long plan with Jade Newspaper, which included one exclusive interview and feature report every day...?"

"ah?!"

Upon hearing this, Wayne was immediately shocked and almost jumped off the sofa.

Oh my god!

I said to Vivian, have you been squeezing money all day and ruined your brain? How much money does your boss, Jinlong, have to let you run your business like this?

So, there are companies that hire the same newspaper to operate their content for a whole week?

Your name, Jinlongye, contains the character for "gold," but you don't own a gold mine!

"No, no, no...Master Jinlong, you've misunderstood!"

Vivian quickly waved her hand and offered Wayne another bag of coins.

"Master Jinlong, you've misunderstood. When I went there today, they refunded your money and even offered to provide you with free space for the next few days..."

Well... on another note.

Although the scoundrels at this Jade Newspaper were truly rotten to the core, the service attitude of the others was absolutely impeccable.

This was the first time Wayne had ever seen someone get a refund for working for a newspaper.

"This...this isn't a good idea, is it?"

Wayne looked hesitant.

Vivian looked at the empty purse in her hand, blinked, and then immediately understood.

"Oh, it's alright, Mr. Jinlong. We'll let this happen again. Consider this compensation for their mistake."

Wayne sighed.

"Oh, Vivian, you've really put me in a difficult position! Fine, this is the last time."

Vivian blinked at Wayne again.

So even the Golden Dragon Lord turns out like this when faced with gold coins?

I think...it's quite cute.

At the same time, Weiwei also internally complained a little.

"Being Lord Golden Dragon is really great! Not only do you get free hotel stays, but you even get published in the newspaper for free..."

Thinking of this, Vivian couldn't help but defend her work.

"Um... Mr. Jinlong, I actually think the Jade Newspaper is doing a pretty good job. Although they may have made mistakes in their work, their influence is really huge!"

"Sir, you've now firmly established yourself as the undisputed number one in this Hel Star ranking! A commanding lead! Your votes and approval ratings are miles ahead of the second through tenth place combined!"

Vivian looked at him with adoration, her eyes sparkling:

"And now it's not just about being number one!"

"Because of the earth-shattering news and your immense popularity this time..."

"This year's awards ceremony and audience at Mount Varius will likely be the most grand and highest-level event in its history!"

"Many important figures have expressed their intention to come!"

"It is said that even His Majesty the King himself intends to attend the ceremony in person!"

"Many nobles, dukes, marquises, and other high-ranking officials who rarely show their faces also want to come and see the splendor of you, the new Golden Dragon!"

"even--"

Weiwei paused for a moment, then lowered her voice even further and said mysteriously:

"Even the incredibly wealthy Duchess behind the Jade Merchant Guild—that beautiful young widow—came all the way from out of town to see you in Hull City..."
