Tring!

[Flame Breath Activated]

WHOOOOSH!

Bright orange wild flames burst out from Max's mouth with immense force, and in the next second, the man standing directly above him slid down in a thud… headless at that. No blood spewed out as his head instantly turned to ash, causing the other men to slowly back away.

Fear crept up their spines as the dragon rose from the bed. He let out a lazy yawn, his eyes still burning fierce yellow, and wiped his mouth, staring at the headless body beneath his feet.

Then he looked up to stare at the remaining four men standing in front of him. The one commanding the group stood behind the others, his face expressionless, fearless as he observed the dragon.

The remaining three men looked slightly scared, their eyes wide as they stared at him.

"Ho…how is this possible? Y…she should have drugged you!" one of the men shouted, trembling in confusion and fright as he faced Max, who was grinning widely.

"You mean this drug?" Max asked, spitting something into his hand. Lifting it up, a half-dissolved small pill was visible. "Tsk, tsk, tsk! You weaklings decided to resort to tricks? You really thought you could fool me?"

"But…but how?!" one of the men asked again, his teeth grinding in disbelief.

"I knew this town was run by two gangs, but what I didn't expect was to meet demon vessels here," Max muttered with a small, sly smile as he tilted his head toward the man standing behind the others. His eyes, still pitch black, glared at the dragon.

"How do you know what I am? Who are you?" the demon vessel demanded, his eyes glinting darkly as he stared at Max.

"You all underestimate me far too much," Max muttered with a tired sigh. He glanced around, spotted a chair in the corner, and walked over to sit. Leaning forward, he glared intensely at the men.

"I don't know how I didn't notice it earlier today. But the moment I stepped back into the town at night, I could smell it. This town reeked of demonic beings. Tracing the scent, I came across this place and saw the female escorts.

The man leaning against the wall—I could smell that he was also a demon vessel, but he didn't realize who I am, so I played along and let the woman bring me here," Max explained, his fangs fully visible as he grinned at the men.

"While we were having fun and kissing, she wriggled her tongue free from mine and, with practiced ease, slipped this pill into my throat, forcing me to swallow it with my saliva. But what she and all of you didn't know is that I'm immune to poisons, sleeping drugs, and everything of the sort. No matter how potent it is.

I waited patiently, pretending to be asleep while I could practically smell you all downstairs and knew you were coming, so I began snoring loudly, pulling you into my trap.

And my plan worked. My intuition told me something was fishy in this town ever since I smelled you all here, and now, I ask you—what is going on here?" the dragon demanded, his eyes glowing fierce yellow as he glared at the men.

"Oh! I could smell you were a hybrid, and that's why I personally came here with these puny humans," the demon vessel smirked from behind the men.

"Hybrid?" Max asked, shaking his head in disappointment. "You dare demean me?"

"What are you waiting for? Take him down by sacrificing your life for our cause!" the demon vessel thundered fiercely, and the three men all darted forward at full speed.

"Cause?" Max muttered with a slight frown on his face. "Now I want to hear more about this." He smirked widely as he watched the men charging straight at him.

"I'm impressed at how smart you have become. I thought you were getting sidetracked, trying to have unnecessary fun. Didn't know you were actually planning something in advance. I'm such a fool to think you were a fool. Kindly forgive me," Pix pleaded as she shimmered into view, her eyes moist.

"Now is not the time," Max grumbled as the three men closed in on him.

'I really don't have time for this,' the dragon thought with a frown.

[Ruler's Hand Activated]

In an instant, the three men lost balance and could now be seen floating helplessly in the air, screaming in unison.

'What kind of powerful hybrid is he?' the demon vessel thought in mild fear as he watched the men hanging in midair. With a flick of his wrist, the men were all sent flying, smashing into a wall.

The force with which they collided was so intense that the wall crumbled instantly, sending the men tumbling into the next room. The escort and the man who had been having fun yelped loudly, rushing to cover their nakedness.

Max didn't even glance at them. The three men he had thrown were knocked out clean, leaving only the demon vessel to charge toward him.

"Screw you and your stupid hybrid abilities! I will kill you myself!" the vessel roared in anger, darting toward him at full speed. In seconds, he was already upon the dragon, swinging his claws from the side.

Max merely held out his hand. The demon vessel's claws froze, refusing to budge an inch no matter how much force he applied.

"I have questions, and I need answers. You will be the one to provide them," Max coldly said, his gaze locked on the vessel, who ground his teeth in rage and, in a burst of fury, swung his second set of claws toward the dragon's face.

Sigh!

The dragon let out a quiet sigh, and in a flash, his hand transformed into a sharp, deadly claw. He swung it forward like a blur, and blood sprayed across the room as the vessel's hand fell with a wet thud, its arm dripping blood.

"Now, will you answer my questions, or do I need to decapitate you?" Max asked, one of his eyes now glowing an ominous red.
