In the perception of demons, the law of the jungle is an ironclad rule, especially for dragon-type demons, who exemplify this principle to the fullest.
They are inherently cruel and will mercilessly slay any lower-ranking creature that dares to provoke them, asserting their absolute dominance.
At this moment, Jiang Yuan faced the Asian Dragon before him without the slightest intention of retreating.
Seeing this, the leading young man couldn't help but let out a sneer, as if he had already envisioned Jiang Yuan being trampled and abused by the Asian Dragon, allowing him to play and amuse himself.
"Doesn't this Asian know to avert his gaze when he sees a giant dragon? How dare he look directly at it!?"
"I heard there are no giant dragon demons in Asia, so it's normal for them not to know about the power and taboos of giant dragons."
"Oh, my Heavenly Father, he's doomed. Why aren't the Law Enforcement Team coming to intervene?"
"That's a dragon from a Dragon Taming Family! What can the Law Enforcement Team do?"
"..."
The tense standoff between man and dragon instantly drew the attention of the surrounding crowd, who began to discuss animatedly.
The Law Enforcement Team, seeing this from afar, initially intended to intervene, but upon recognizing the identities of the three young men, they quickly vanished from sight as if they had seen vipers.
This action further convinced the surrounding Europeans that Jiang Yuan was destined to receive a harsh lesson in London today, to experience the consequences of offending a giant dragon.
Just then, the Asian Dragon finally made a move.
In an instant, everyone held their breath, watching with a mixture of tension and anticipation. A suffocating sense of oppression permeated the air, as if time itself had frozen.
However, the scene that unfolded the next second left everyone stunned.
The Asian Dragon slowly lowered its head, placing it directly on the ground, its limbs prostrate, and its wings tightly folded back, adopting a posture of complete submission!
This scene was beyond anyone's imagination; even the most skilled beast tamers could never make an incredibly arrogant Asian Dragon perform such an obedient action!
"Dota, what are you doing! You idiot!"
Seeing his dragon submit to an Asian, the young man immediately flew into a rage, his face contorted with anger as he shouted, his voice filled with disbelief and fury.
Dota was the Asian Dragon currently submitting to Jiang Yuan.
"Are you Japanese or Korean?" The leading young man, Kello, finally realized that Jiang Yuan was no ordinary person. He shed his earlier contemptuous and arrogant demeanor and asked with a slightly serious expression.
"Do I look Japanese?" Jiang Yuan's brows instantly furrowed tightly upon hearing this, a hint of displeasure flashing in his eyes.
Mistaking a Huaxia person for a Japanese person was the most malicious insult!
"Oh, I'm truly sorry!"
Kello's eyes flickered, and he secretly remained vigilant. He subtly pulled aside the young man who had been shouting the most fiercely, then turned back, a smile reappearing on his face, and introduced himself: "My Asian friend, I am Kello. May I ask your name...?"
Kello meticulously scrutinized Jiang Yuan from head to toe, analyzing and judging his height, demeanor, and everything else.
He secretly mused that this person's height and build didn't resemble a Japanese person, and the aura he exuded was entirely different from a Korean. So, he continued to probe, "Then are you a Huaxia person?"
Jiang Yuan's expression was calm; he merely nodded slightly.
Although Kello appeared polite and courteous on the surface, Jiang Yuan keenly sensed an undeniable air of arrogance emanating from him. This arrogance was ingrained in his bones, though most people would find it difficult to detect.
Jiang Yuan knew that if he showed even the slightest fear or hesitation in front of Kello, Kello would definitely not be as "friendly" as he was now.
"May I ask your esteemed surname?" Kello wore a seemingly gentle smile, but his tone carried a subtle hint of probing.
In reality, he was indirectly inquiring about the family power behind Jiang Yuan.
"Jiang." Jiang Yuan replied succinctly, a playful glint in his eyes. He wanted to see what other tricks this European would pull next.
"Jiang?" Kello repeated softly, a flicker of confusion on his face. He quickly reviewed all the famous families in Huaxia in his mind but couldn't recall any family named Jiang.
Since that was the case, what was there to be wary of? Kello's vigilance immediately dissipated considerably.
Kello's smile instantly turned cold, and his tone became forceful as he questioned, "You are a Mind Mage, aren't you?"
Jiang Yuan did possess the abilities of a Mind Mage, so Kello's question wasn't wrong.
Before Jiang Yuan could respond, Kello sneered and continued, "You should be aware of the severe accusations you'll face in London for privately mind-controlling someone else's tamed beast, shouldn't you?"
Facing Kello's threatening words, Jiang Yuan merely let out a disdainful "Tsk."
A powerful wave of mental energy instantly erupted, like an invisible tide, bringing the other two Asian Dragons under his control as well.
In the blink of an eye, the three Asian Dragons stood neatly behind their original masters.
"Now, get out of London immediately!" Kello was still blustering, his gaze inadvertently falling upon Liu Xian, a sinister and lecherous smile appearing on his face as he continued, "But you, beautiful lady, don't have to leave London. We will entertain you well and ensure you leave this city with an unforgettable and wonderful memory."
Before his words finished, Kello suddenly felt a huge and icy force bite tightly onto his waist, and he was instantly hoisted high into the air.
He looked down in horror to see that it was his own tamed Asian Dragon, now biting his waist with its sharp teeth, holding him in its mouth like prey.
The other two young men suffered the same fate, also being viciously bitten by their own Asian Dragons. No matter how desperately they struggled or cried out, the Asian Dragons showed no sign of letting go.
Jiang Yuan watched this scene with satisfaction and turned to Liu Xian, saying softly, "Let's go, we're returning to the hotel."
"They're like this..." Liu Xian looked back at Kello and the others, hesitating to speak.
Jiang Yuan smiled slightly and comforted her, "Don't worry about them. Let them learn a good lesson here."
Jiang Yuan had already given orders to the three Asian Dragons through his mental power.
As long as the Asian Dragons didn't run out of stamina and no one else came to rescue them, the three of them would remain held by the Asian Dragons by the Thames River, becoming a "laughingstock" in everyone's eyes.
The reason Jiang Yuan dared to be so audacious was, of course, his absolute strength as his backing, and he truly didn't want to tolerate these arrogant and rude people any longer.
Most importantly, after Jiang Yuan and Liu Xian arrived in London, they had already changed their appearances. Unless it was those powerful old figures from the Holy City, no one would be able to see through their disguise.
As long as they left here, Kello and the others would have no way of finding their tracks again.
Since that was the case, with this hidden identity, what harm was there in being arrogant occasionally?
Anyway, they were looking for Jiang Shuren, not him, Jiang Yuan.
Jiang Yuan returned to the hotel, expecting these three people to come looking for trouble, but there was no movement.
They didn't seem like people who would let things go, but it didn't matter to Jiang Yuan.
......
Time flew by, and soon it was the day of the nian stone auction.
On this day, the auction house was bustling with people.
This auction was a top-tier event in London, attracting countless wealthy individuals, collectors, and cultivators from all over the world.
People flocked here, not just for the nian stone, but also because this auction gathered a dazzling array of rare treasures, each of immense value and highly coveted.
It was said that even top-tier Soul Seeds were plentiful at this auction!
Jiang Yuan and Liu Xian arrived early at the auction house. They held bidding paddle number 36 and sat quietly in their seats, waiting for the auction to begin.
While waiting, Jiang Yuan inadvertently looked up and saw Kello and his two henchmen. Kello was talking to someone else and hadn't noticed Jiang Yuan.
Just as the auction was about to begin, a slight commotion arose.
A girl, who looked to be around twenty years old, slowly entered the venue surrounded by a crowd.
The girl had bright golden eyes, like brilliant stars, dazzling and captivating.
Even the maids following her were all exceptionally beautiful and graceful, indicating the girl's extraordinary status.
The appearance of the golden-eyed girl instantly caused a sensation throughout the venue. Many Europeans in their seats rose to greet her arrival with respectful expressions.
The auction staff were even more deferential, carefully guiding her into the exclusive private box.
Combining the Dragon Taming Family emblem worn by the girl, the respectful attitude of the crowd, and her age and appearance.
Jiang Yuan knew that this golden-eyed girl was Irene, the Irene who inherited the title of Grand Duke!
I'll write one more chapter when it's light out. I really can't hold on anymore; my heart feels uncomfortable, and my eyes are about to close. I'll force myself to finish it earlier tomorrow during the day. Staying up late is too difficult.
