Chapter 474 Dragon Master
'Dragon Master? That's a rather interesting sounding class now isn't it?' Shiro mused to herself.
{Indeed, but I think what we should be doing now is resolving the small conflict first.} Nimue nodded.
'Mn.'
"So you're saying it's your party member's fault for being nosy in my daughter's eating habits?" Shiro raised her eyebrows.
"A little however, I would also like to say that your daughter did act rather explosively since my party member just wanted to give her a reminder." Dominik replied with a chuckle.
"Hou, seems to me like you're saying I should apologise as well." Shiro said as she narrowed her eyes.
From what she knew so far, Yin had been minding her own business eating with Silvia and this boy was being nosy. So to her, it made absolutely no sense for Yin to apologise when it was clearly the other party that was the one who instigated it.
If they had just ignored and left quietly, things would not have developed to this point.
A deafening silence filled the room as both Shiro and Dominik had a stare off. Neither one wanted to back down.
For Shiro, Yin was her daughter so it's natural that she'll stick up for her. Plus, it was also the other party's fault for being nosy.
As for Dominik, he stood up for Samuel since it was just a small reminder that turned hostile after Yin's response.
Continuing this for a few more moments, Shiro could sense that a few guards were coming and things would get rather annoying if they were involved.
"You better watch your party member closely. If he's too nosy, he'll get himself killed in the future." Shiro warned before waving her hand.
A rift opened up beneath Yin and Silvia as she teleported away with the two of them.
The moment Shiro disappeared, Dominik sighed out in relief as sweat had covered his back.
During that short stare off, he felt like he was being glared at by an apex predator. A single wrong move would mean his death but he had to stand his ground for Samuel.
"Dom I-"
"Don't worry about it. Like I said, you should keep that habit of yours in check. If I didn't know better, I'd say that if we actually fought with that woman there, we would have all died without a corpse." Dominik sighed.
"But isn't she just a level 101? You're 29 levels above her." Samuel frowned.
"Idiot, do you not think that she can use the disguise skill? I tried to see past the disguise but it seems like her skill must be pretty high ranked since it didn't budge. All I know is that her aura did not belong to a level 101. If anything, I'd say she's near the 200's or maybe higher." Dominik shook his head.
"200…" Samuel widened his eyes since people in the A class were simply monsters amongst men. A single wave of their hand could obliterate a city never mind a small party like theirs.
"Man, I think I'll need a smoke after that. Anyways, just try not to make too big of a fuss. We got important matters to attend to after all." Dominik waved his hand as he pulled out a cigarette and walked out of the hotel.

Returning to their room, Shiro planted her face against the bed and sighed.
"Yin, I thought I told you not to cause trouble." Shiro said as Attie started to pat Shiro's head after seeing her so worn out.
"But I didn't though. He just approached me and started to lecture me about my eating habits." Yin pouted.
"To be fair Shiro, he was kind of pushy with his ideals." Silvia followed up.
"Mn, I know. But if a fight had erupted out back there, a bunch of people might have died you know? Not by my hands but through his." Shiro replied with narrowed eyes and produced a photograph.
In the photograph, they could clearly see a giant black dragon hovering over the clouds while looking down at their hotel.
During the stare off, she had felt the presence of a giant monster just above the city so she deployed a nanotech drone just to scout out the situation. Seeing that it was a dragon, she knew that his class of Dragon Master was not for looks.
While she could have killed him, a bunch of people might have died from the dragon's ensuing attack.
"Wait.. Sh*t! He had a b*stard reptile with him!?" Yin widened her eyes in annoyance since she never liked dragons to begin with.
Reptiles should just crawl on the ground, when the f*ck did they have the audacity to fly in the air with a bird like her!? Have they ever seen a flightless bird!?
'Actually… isn't a chicken a flightless bird?' Yin wondered to herself.
'F*ck!'
"Don't fight him in the city. If you want to fight a dragon, find one that doesn't have an owner or something." Shiro waved her hand lazily since she was too tired for this sh*t.
"Anyways, Silvia thank you for your help." She said while sitting up straight.
"Don't worry about it. It was just unlucky for Yin to run into a guy like him. If there's nothing else, I'll go back to my room now." Silvia smiled.
"Oh speaking of which, do you and Chen Yu have the same room?" Shiro asked with a grin.
*COUGH!
"Erm…. Maybe." Silvia blushed.
"Hou hou, in that case then does he treat you well? Surely you haven't done the deed now have you? I wonder if I'll see some mini Silvi's in nine months time." Shiro chuckled.
"Ah we haven't gone that far yet." Silvia looked down embarrassingly.
Who the hell talks about this with her three children present?!?!
Even Lisandra who had gotten out of the shower not too long ago had a blush on her face while using the notebook to cover her face.
As for Yin… well her IQ isn't high enough for her to understand talks of romance. She was more occupied with sticking a middle finger to the sky in order to piss off the dragon.
"Oh? Did I just hear a 'yet'? Does that mean you've reached second base?" Shiro asked once more.
Hearing the mention of second base, Silvia blushed harder as she knew the meaning and couldn't help but nod her head slowly.
Seeing the confirmation, Shiro grinned and gave her a thumbs up.
"Make sure you keep a good leash on him ok? If b*stard Tian tries to get him back I'll tell him Chen Yu is my friend's man now ok?" Shiro laughed since she's technically borrowing Chen Yu from Nan Tian. Their partnership should have ended back in the elven country but due to his relationship with Silvia, he's stuck around with the party.
"I heard Chen talk about Nan Tian a few times and said that he was his boss and that you two had a rather… complicated relationship." Silvia asked.
"Hmm… complicated is a rather adept description. I met him way back in New York where he discovered my identity as a snow girl. He even helped me deal with the shadow stalker." Shiro chuckled.
"Shadow stalker?" Silvia raised her eyebrows.
"Yup. Though in return, I got a 'gentlemanly' stalker instead haha. To be fair though, I did receive quite a bit of help from him. He's the one who provided me with a few of the rebirth pills that I previously needed." Shiro laughed as Silvia couldn't help but feel sweat roll down the side of her face.
'I don't think you should be this happy for a stalker…'
As the duo continued to talk about Chen Yu and Nan Tian, Shiro told Silvia everything she knew about Nan Tian and the hidden sect. After all, her boyfriend belonged to the sect so it was only natural that she knew.
"I see… I'll ask Chen about it tonight and tell you if there's some new information about the sect then." Silvia nodded as she was going to use 'pillow talk' to get some information.
Of course, she wasn't going to go to the third base yet in order to use the pillow talk. That can be saved for later.
"Mn, it's pretty late now so you should head back and get some rest." Shiro nodded as she bid her farewell.
###
Somewhere else in the city of Epona, a man was sitting on the edge of the tallest building in the city and looked up into the sky.
"It doesn't seem like the dragon's going to do anything." He muttered before looking towards the hotel building that Shiro was in.
"I wonder if little snow would be happy to find out that I've dealt with most things now so that I can accompany her a bit. Probably not haha." He chuckled before disappearing from his spot.
