Is It Funny That The Dragon Slayer Failed And Became The Dragon Princess?

91. Head of the Cavendish Family

“Who is it? So arrogant!”

Oba raised his head and saw a shower of money raining down from the upper floors, landing on the ground.

Everyone present, whether they were members of the Cangqing Gang or the guards of the Sheriff, were all plunged into bewilderment.

Because it was clear to anyone with eyes how immense the losses Ascension Casino suffered today were. To be wrecked to this extent, the compensation that needed to be paid would be an astronomical sum.

And not only that, but this person also wanted to pay the criminal’s atonement fee?

In Corolle, there was a system called atonement fee.

If a noble of some status had a family member who accidentally committed a transgression, they could pay the corresponding atonement fee to the Sheriff… as funds to support the city’s development, thereby atoning and mitigating their crime.

Using magic to summon a large summoned creature was a serious violation of Corolle’s laws, and this crime also required a huge amount of money.

These two combined, even if some renowned nobles emptied their family coffers, it probably wouldn’t be enough to cover it. They would definitely be stripped of their assets, and moreover, they would rot in prison.

But the owner of this voice claimed he would cover it all?

“Who the hell is talking nonsense?” The Sheriff also frowned.

Xia Yi was somewhat unclear about the situation and glanced at Sera.

Sera’s expression was off, visibly disgusted. She didn’t show such an expression even when fighting the Cangqing Gang just now, indicating it was someone she particularly loathed.

“Everyone present, give me some face.”

A middle-aged man descended the stairs step by step, basking in the gaze of everyone present, his face adorned with a devil-may-care smile.

This dragon wore a mink coat, tall and straight in stature… Like a model, he excellently carried the difficult-to-wear outfit. He had on a specially tailored suit, and there was even a blue rose in the pocket on his chest. His aura… well, very flamboyant.

It seemed this person was a playboy who knew he was handsome, his narcissistic temperament obvious at a glance.

“Why is it you?” Oba was very surprised.

The Sheriff, seeing this middle-aged red dragon male, was also somewhat taken aback. He glanced at Sera again, and found similarities between the two dragons, his mind working.

Sera sighed, obviously very disappointed.

Sure enough, this man must be Lucia and Sera’s father.

Xia Yi was more certain after seeing Sera’s reaction.

“Lucius Cavendish!” The members of the Cangqing Gang called out his name.

This was the only old noble of Corolle, the head of the Cavendish family.

“Daughter, why don’t you greet Daddy after seeing him? We haven’t met in decades!” Lucius greeted his daughter cheerfully after spotting her, “Do you need me to give you a hug?”

“No need, don’t get too close to me,” Sera said coldly, “Why haven’t you died yet? Life sure is tenacious.”

“Ah, it really breaks my heart. Daughter, do you really wish your daddy dead, to burst gold coins for you?” Lucius sighed melancholically.

“I came to take you back.”

“Oh, my daughter actually came to pick me up personally. I’m so touched… Anyway, I’ve had my fill of fun these days, so let’s return then.”

Lucius walked to Sera’s side, smiling at his daughter.

Sera was very impatient, unwilling to say another word.

Xia Yi felt surprised. Is this… fatherly love and filial piety?

This bizarre parent-child relationship, it was the first time she had witnessed it.

The conversation between this father and daughter truly shocked everyone.

Of course, what was more shocking was the revelation.

That is, the heir of the Cavendish family was actually alive and had returned!

The two heirs of the Cavendish family had been missing for nearly a hundred years, and the people of Corolle basically believed these two heirs had perished.

But who would have thought that not only did the heir of the Cavendish family not die, but today they also demonstrated astounding strength, giving the emerging nobles a harsh lesson, and announced their return in a high-profile manner.

Could this be some kind of signal that the once silent old nobility was ready to show their ambition again?

Thinking of this, Oba couldn’t help but start to panic.

Although the emerging nobles really didn’t think much of the Cavendish family… But after all, they were once recognized by the royal family, different from other nobles. Even if they had fallen, they still carried a certain weight.

If this family planned to rise again…

In any case, it was something the emerging nobles did not want to see.

“Mr. Lucius, where are you going?” Oba called someone to stop Lucius.

“Of course I’m going home,” Lucius yawned, “Tired from playing, going home to sleep. Isn’t that normal? What, are you going to restrict my personal freedom? I’m afraid you’re not quite qualified, Young Master of the Elvin family.”

“Mr. Lucius, please don’t spout nonsense. You let your daughter wreak havoc in our Ascension Casino, obstructed the festivities, and caused us huge losses… She also violated Corolle’s laws. If the emperor breaks the law, he must be punished like a commoner.”

“So, didn’t I say that I’ve covered all of today’s losses, as well as the atonement fee for my daughter and her friend?”

“You’re joking. This amount is only enough to shoo away a beggar!” Oba stepped on the coins on the ground.

Lucius put his hands in his pockets, slightly raised his head, and using his height, he deliberately put on an especially annoying contemptuous expression.

“I participated in the special event of your Ascension Casino’s celebration today. I put all my chips in, betting that no one could defeat my daughter before the Sheriff arrives. Now the bet is over. According to the odds, do you know how much I won? Your Ascension Casino’s golden tree now belongs to me.”

“What?” Oba was stunned.

“Please handle it as soon as possible. Deduct the losses caused by my daughter today and the atonement fee, and send the remainder to our Cavendish family promptly.”

“Impossible! You’re talking nonsense. I don’t believe it. Servants!!” Oba roared.

The servant hurriedly came up and displayed Lucius’s betting slip.

It was clearly written in black and white on the paper, impossible to fake.

According to the bet, he really won, and the odds were not low. After all, only he bet that Sera would not lose.

The key was that the amount Lucius wagered was outrageously high.

Even after calculating all the compensation and atonement fee, Ascension Casino still owed the Cavendish family a large sum.

The Elvin family’s losses tonight not only had to be borne by themselves, but they also had to pay the atonement fee for the other party. In the end, they had to send over a hefty sum… It was simply a huge loss!!

“Damn it!”

Oba was so angry he wanted to stomp his feet, his neck turning red.

“Sheriff, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and arrest these people! Even if they are nobles, they must go through the process and be put in jail first!!”

Lucius sneered, “Arrest us? In your dreams. The only ones who can sanction our Cavendish family in the entire Dragon Kingdom are the royal family… Unless Her Majesty the Queen comes in person, no one is qualified.”
