Global Dungeon: My Support Is Too Strong

696 Chief Executive

Lu Benwei sighed and patted the Imperial Baby’s head. Although he was a noble prince, he suffered greatly.

For thousands of years, he had been in a small coffin. It was a deep despair. It was dark all around, and he was the only one who could speak.

The Six-tailed Crocodile also realized that he had gone overboard with his words just now. He cursed himself in his heart. “Imperial Baby, I’m sorry!”

The Imperial Baby used his chubby little hand to wipe his tears. “It’s okay. I’ve thought it through long ago. I must find my Imperial Mother and Father and ask them about it!”

“You want to settle the score with your parents?” the crocodile asked in surprise.

“Of course! They locked me up for so long. I want to teach them a lesson!” The Imperial Baby was stubborn.

The crocodile said, “This, this isn’t good.”

Lu Benwei sighed helplessly. He had not gone through the Imperial Baby’s experience, so he could not say anything.

“Your parents must’ve something they can’t say.”

“Who cares!” The Imperial Baby curled his lips in disdain.

Gradually, a thin layer of fog rose from the sea.

The Great Overwatch Wall was blurred, disappearing from the place where the sky and the sea met.

Lu Benwei let out a long sigh of relief. After making sure that no one was chasing after him, he looked up at the sky and landed on the back of the crocodile.

The Imperial Baby sat beside him and looked at him in a daze.

Time passed quietly. The sun rose in the east and set in the west. The moon and stars rotated.

Gradually, Lu Benwei was a little hungry. He tore open a bag of potato chips and ate them. The soldiers of the Furious Dragon Legion gave him a lot of gifts, including a big gift pack of snacks.

“If only there was a song at this time.”

Lu Benwei felt a little emotional.

“Brother, you should’ve said so earlier!”

Before Lu Benwei could respond, the Six-tailed Crocodile started singing.

“I’ll be conquered by you just like this ~

“I wrote down your good road ~”

…

Lu Benwei was speechless.

The crocodile’s singing was a little difficult to describe.

The Imperial Baby and he had goosebumps all over their bodies as they fell to the ground.

“Crocodile.”

Lu Benwei interrupted the crocodile’s performance.

“What’s wrong, Big Brother?” the Six-tailed Crocodile stuck out his tongue excitedly, wanting to get Lu Benwei’s praise.

“Shut up!”

When the crocodile heard this, he immediately shut his mouth and continued to move forward.

…

At night, the moon was bright, and the stars were sparse.

There was a huge horse farm fifty miles north of Dragon City. It was not open to the public and was only for the owner’s use.

It was hard to imagine that there were still people who spent so much effort to take care of the horse farm in each era.

The grass was soft, and the horses in the stable neighed from time to time. A winding cobblestone path divided the horse track into two, leading to an exclusive small courtyard.

Wang Yiruo stepped on the cobblestone path and came to the main door of the exclusive courtyard.

“Bang!”

She pushed hard with both hands, and the door opened heavily. The lights in the villa were dim, and she could only see the outline of his five fingers.

“How many times have we reminded you to knock before coming in?”

A beam of light suddenly appeared in the room. There was a long square table in the middle of the hall, and a candle flame danced on a cross-shaped candlestick.

The light of the fire shone, and the outline of an old man was vaguely illuminated.

On his bronze face, there was a pair of sparkling eyes, as sharp as an eagle. His facial features were strong, and his angry hair was mixed with a few white hairs. He was not angry at all.

“What era is it? Aren’t you afraid of burning down your horse farm?” Wang Yiruo said teasingly as she reached out to turn on the light behind the door.

“Yiruo, don’t be rude!”

The old man growled and stopped Wang Yiruo.

It was too late. Wang Yiruo had already turned on the light switch. The hall suddenly lit up.

Wang Yiruo slowly exhaled and said, “So, you’re not the only old man here.”

The two sides of the long square table were filled with old people. They were much older than the old man who scolded Wang Yiruo at the beginning.

They had different forms. Some of them had skin as dry as cicada slough, and it seemed like they could fall off their bones with a light touch.

Some of them had skin as tender as a baby’s. As they breathed, red lines spread on their faces. There were even many who looked like they had just walked out of an ice cellar. Their skin was frighteningly pale.

Wang Yiruo turned off the lights again, and a solemn expression appeared on her face.

“Gentlemen, why have you called me here?”

“Who gave you permission to release Chu Tianxiong?” the first elder asked.

Wang Yiruo pressed her chest with one hand and bowed slightly. “In reply to the Chief Executive, after my investigation, Chu Tianxiong didn’t commit any major mistakes, so I let him go.”

At this moment, an old man with skin as dry as tree bark spoke. His voice was filled with endless vicissitudes. “A private soldier who assisted a criminal to escape is a major crime. You let him go so easily?”

Wang Yi raised her hand and looked at the old man before bowing again.

“Replying to the former Chief Executive.”

These were the chief executives of the Dragon Kingdom. They were high-ranking and powerful figures in the country.

Apart from the first elder, the rest of the group had already stepped down. Logically speaking, they were already buried. However, they used special magic and potions to successfully extend their lives.

Wang Yiruo continued, “According to my investigation, Lu Benwei, didn’t commit any crime. Chu Tianxiong and the Furious Dragon Legion had privately mobilized their troops. They had only heard that a monster was about to launch a disaster, so they moved ahead of time.”

“Nonsense!” The former chief executive was furious, and the muscles on his cheeks were trembling.

“The appearance of the monsters is just a coincidence!”

“Everything I’ve said is true,” Wang Yiruo said, “If we continue to imprison them, I’m afraid we’ll hurt the hearts of those people who are determined to eliminate the monsters!”

“Wang Yiruo, you’re too impudent!” The former chief executive was so angry that his body began to tremble.

“Alright, stop arguing,” A Chief Executive with skin as delicate as a baby said, “It’s meaningless now.”

The central hall fell silent again, and only the heavy breathing of the old people could be heard.

“Wang Yiruo, what do you think of Lu Benwei?” the Chief Executive, whose skin was as delicate as a baby, asked.

“I don’t have any opinions. I’ll punish him for going to the outer realm without permission.”

Wang Yiruo bowed slightly. On the surface, she was very respectful to these people.

“But he’s in the outer realm now, so we can’t arrest him.”

“Just punish him for the crime of going to the outer realm without permission?” the Chief Executive, whose skin was dry, squinted and said, “That won’t do! Lu Benwei must die!”

His voice was very cold as he gave the death sentence to Lu Benwei, who was thousands of miles away.

Wang Yiruo bit her lips. “Chief Executive, what does he know that’s worthy of you mobilizing so many people?”
