"Dragon?" Aiden frowned, his brow knitting together. No way. When I visited, the cave was treacherous. Yeah, I almost didn't make it out. That much I can confirm. But inside, there's just this one weird Level 80 Corrupted-level boss. Where's the dragon supposed to be? "Maybe it's just a matter of timing. Before I got there, someone had already cleared out the cave. And that dragon… maybe it left because of that, or it got killed. After that, the weird Corrupted-level boss moved in. As for the hidden scroll I found, maybe it was left behind by something else?" Aiden thought it over. That seemed like the only explanation, but something still felt off. Too many details didn't add up. Beyond that, he had no clue what else could have happened. However, things at Kroger High were unpredictable anyway. He didn't sweat it. As long as he got the mission, he could figure out the rest later. 'Ding! Steven sent news. Head to the unknown labyrinth and retrieve what's inside.'Sure enough, the next moment, the "Dragon's Whisper" mission updated. "Thanks for your help." Aiden checked to make sure he hadn't missed anything before getting ready to leave. "You're heading to Labyrinth Cave?" Sienna couldn't help asking. "Yeah." Aiden nodded. "That's a Level 80 zone. Even the city's top fighters don't always make it back. And you…" Sienna's eyes were full of worry. "It's probably not smart to rush in there." "No worries. I've got it handled." Aiden stayed completely calm and pulled out the comm token Merrick had given him. It's just a dragon, right? I've even stolen dragon eggs before. A little stroll through a labyrinth is nothing. Besides, I remember every single detail of that cave. Compared to facing the Radiant Dragon back then, this danger level isn't even in the same league. I don't need Merrick to level me up. But when it comes to looting? I know my stuff. As long as the money's right, dragons are toast. Funny thing is, I'm missing a lot of things right now, but money isn't one of them.Throw in another 100 million, and the hidden profession's mine, easy. There's nothing in this world that 100 million can't buy. And if there is? Then I'll just throw in another one. Bring it on. "The Hall of Supremes token?" Sienna's eyes practically glowed. She could tell instantly what Aiden was holding. It was a purple medallion—a high-level one. Only a warrior of at least a hundredth rank could even be trusted to hand something like this over. Sienna studied Aiden with a thoughtful look. No wonder he's so confident. He actually has something to support him. But he's only Level 12. How does he even qualify to get something like this? Even for someone born into royalty like Sienna, a token from the Hall of Supremes was still a rare thing. The Hall of Supremes stood on a level far above the rest of the Continent. The truth was the Hall of Supremes belonged to no Dominion. It wasn't part of any other Kingdom either. Still, nobody could deny how terrifyingly powerful the Hall of Supremes was. Its strength and legacy rivaled any Kingdom. Many people even called it the continent's number one power.Top-ranked heavyweights kept emerging from the Hall of Supremes. Whether that reputation was trustworthy, no one could be certain, but the fact that the rumors existed was proof enough of how fearsome the Hall of Supremes was. Even Sienna, as a member of the royal family, didn't know much about them. The faction was just too mysterious. Obtaining a token like that was another matter entirely. The purple medallion winked twice, and then Merrick's cheerful voice came through. "Nighthale, you're hitting me up again. What's the matter this time?" Aiden smiled. "Merrick, I've got another job. You in?" "Oh?" Merrick's tone went sharp with interest. "Talk to me. Tell me everything." Aiden ran through the gist of it. "Dragons again?" After Aiden finished, Merrick went quiet for a moment. When he spoke, he sounded worn out. "Where are you getting all these dragon leads? Do you have a score to settle with the dragonfolk?""No, nothing like that. Pure coincidence." Aiden shook his head. "That's strange. First stealing dragon eggs, now hitting someone's lair. That's a lot of coincidence," Merrick muttered. "It is a coincidence. I don't want it to be either." Aiden gave a weary half-laugh. Even he found the pattern odd. Dragons rarely showed themselves across the Continent. To have two Wyrm's Lairs come up for exploration in the space of three days was the sort of thing that might not happen for centuries. On top of that, dragons were the very definition of savage power. Ordinary people didn't dare provoke them. Sienna listened to the exchange and felt her surprise growing. She covered her rosy mouth with a slender hand. Steal a dragon egg? Break into a Wyrm's Lair? Sienna found the whole thing impossible to believe. "No way. I'm not going. I still haven't recovered," Merrick said after a beat. "I feel totally drained." He thought it over, but in the end, he still refused.
