The Lightning Dragon God Douluo
Chapter 25

Ryusei started thinking, 'All right, so he wanted my help for some of the tasks he told his own daughter. So, what's the job? Is it something that requires good observation from me or help against the enemy but even though I showed him my intelligence. He should have just thought that I was just a kid with great observation and deduction skills. '

'And, what was more suspicious was about how Rongrong could come here without anyone realizing his absence when they even had Titled Douluo in their clan. Moreover, how could it be that with their influence, they were unable to find any trace of it? If they find any trace of him, why haven't they come and contacted him yet. '

'So, the most likely thing is that his father knew that he was here. Did he send it on purpose or did he come here just by chance? Did he use his contacts and manipulate him to come to Shrek Academy? But why?'

'I chose this academy because it is not very famous, then why would such a man who wants the best for his daughter and his Clan do something like this? Did he think it would be better if Rongrong came to Shrek? But why?'

'There was no one who was especially worthy of his status with his daughter except Dai Mubai and Tang San. He should not know about their information, so why? ' He looked at Rongrong and looked into his eyes and saw his own reflection there. He thought, 'Is this really because of me? Did my casual deduction from then on scare her or make her so excited? '

'From what Rongrong said, his father needed help for an assignment. Does he really need my help? If I understand that he arranged for Rongrong to enter Shrek Academy because I am here, did he deliberately say something like this to her? Was it because he wanted her to say something like this to me when we talked to each other for the sake of the past. '

'Buddy, that damn guy isn't even here and he's actually giving me a headache. How sad. ' Sweet Rongrong did not know that she had a headache when she thought about her father's motives.

He took a breath and looked at her and said in a determined voice, "Brother Tian, let's start again. I want to finish these 20 rounds right away and go and eat the food from the market."

Ryusei nodded when he heard his words and put his thoughts aside about his father's motives, he knew that he would gain nothing just by racking his brain in vain and it did not look like his father had any evil intentions or he would have been killed.

Ryusei once again started running along with Rongrong and after 2 hours of running while resting after each round, Rongrong finally completed the task given to him by the Headmaster. He looked at her tiredly and asked her, "Brother Tian, thank you for being with me until I finish this task. Let's go to the nearest market and find something to eat. This is my treat."

Ryusei nodded and followed him to the market to eat something. After reaching the market, the two of them started eating some cakes as they were very delicious.

He saw a man approaching them but he ignored him because the man was only of rank 21. The man placed his feet on the table where Ryusei and Rongrong stored their food and said in a strong voice, "You two, give me a tax."

Rongrong was a bit confused, "Tax, what tax?" The man looked at them with an annoyed expression and said, "I'm Tao Gang and this is my area, so I want a tax from you for sitting in this shop."

Rongrong was even more confused by his words since his father had never mentioned about this kind of tax, but Ryusei understood that he was just a criminal, but Ryusei understood that he was just a criminal, he wondered if he should destroy her or just scare her.

Tao Gang looked at Rongrong and licked his lips as he thought about what he could do with a beautiful young lady. He said with an excited expression on his face, "Miss, you should come with me, I can make you rich and fulfill all your desires."

Ryusei said nothing and stood up when he saw the thug. He said coldly, "Get out of here before I erase your existence from this world." He released some Purple Lightning from his body and destroyed the thug.

Thug looked at Ryusei with a terrified expression as he did not expect a boy to have this kind of power and escape to where he came from. Rongrong felt warm when she saw him protecting her, she remembered his words from her childhood as she tried to put up a bold front.

She smiled sweetly at him and when Ryusei turned to ask something, he was shocked speechless by her beautiful smile. He wanted to say something but he swallowed his words.

After a while, he said, "Let's go back. The principal should be waiting for us." Rongrong nodded and started walking back to the Academy.

They saw the Headmaster in the field waiting for them, he looked at Ryusei and said, "So, did he finish all the rounds assigned to him?" Ryusei nodded and said, "Yes. We then went to the market to get food."

Principal looked somewhat hesitant as he raised his eyebrows and Ryusei looked at his hand, why are you asking. It was because he had a White Card in his hand. He could see some words written there.

It was the "Flender, take care of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan's little daughter. He could only learn when he went into the world!"

Ryusei knew that this was from his father and now understood when he thought 'So, Rongrong did not come here due to a coincidence. It was arranged by his father and he didn't even know anything about it. I can then assume that he said those words to her so that she could say them to me and I will know that she will need my help in the future. '

'A person who purely manipulates and strategizes. Good Ning Fengzhi, you are really good. If I don't see this letter in the Headmaster's hands, I'm still bound about your true reason. What a sly man. '

He looked at the Headmaster and said to him, "So, Headmaster. Forgive us. We should go and rest for today." The headmaster nodded as he had nothing to say and let them go.

The two of them separated and went to their dormitories. Ryusei sighed before he lay on his bed as he slowly fell asleep. While the same could not be said for Rongrong, she hugged the pillow tightly as she thought of the way Ryusei protected her.

He smiled and thought 'Brother Tian was very good to me. He trained me without any ulterior motive. He was so strong with a strong spirit. Father said that the Clan women should have a strong husband who is married to the Clan? '

He thought about these things all night while Ryusei was sleeping comfortably as he did not want to wake up once again. He had already missed his schedule, he didn't want to do it anymore.
