Finding the Su family manor was easy. Just like every other narcissistic family the Su family manor was also built at the heart of the city and was surrounded by the ultra rich and nobles.

There were tier 2 and tier 3 soldiers patrolling the manor and although security was tight around the house, it was not absolutely impenetrable.

Max took circles of the house and even sneakily invaded the terraces of the neighbours until he eventually found the perfect spot over a high window of a neighbour, from where he had a clear angle of Su Yang's room.

Su Yang was everything Max thought he would be. Fat, ugly, and pretty much exactly how Max looked before his reincarnation with the only difference being that Su Yang had a lizard green skin.

' You debaucherous bastard ' Max thought as he saw two women tied on his bed while a third sucked his dick as a fourth fed him grapes.

Max checked the angle, the wind and then his escape route before de-escalating the neighbour's window as he vanished once more into the streets.

Max had a clear plan in mind now, the chosen weapon of assassination was going to be a poisonous arrow straight to the heart of the lecherous bastard, with the blood feud ongoing between the dark elf and Su Yang, Max would be able to avert the blame.

Happy, Max began scouting the black markets for his bow, arrow and poison, as he removed his concealer mask from his face and began roaming the streets with sunglasses covering his eyes and black hood covering everything up to his nose.

Using his money, Max was able to secure the ingredients he wanted to make the poison rather easily whereas finding a suitable bow and arrow was even easier.

Although Max never revealed his identity to the sellers he tied a small wooden stick on his ears before wearing the hood, such that to an outsider it would appear that he had pointy ears like those of the elf.

With seeds of doubt planted and the targets location already scouted, Max was now ready to carry out the assassination mission.

( Meanwhile, Asmodeus )

Asmodeus was escorted back to the dark faction hideout in the thunder nation, as he was surprised to see that it was not located in a shady area at all, but rather in the heart of the city with hustle bustle all around.

" Desmond? " Asmodeus questioned as he looked at a man wearing extremely formal yet luxuriously stitched robes.

" Look at your disgusting visage Asmodeus, nobody would ever believe me if I told them you were once a serving general in lord Lucifer's army ". Desmond the demon said.Desmond was currently serving as an police inspector in Thor's army with a backstory that he was abandoned by the demonkind as a kid and despite being a demon he was as light faction friendly as one could be.

Ofcourse, the entire story was a lie made up by the higher ups who had already infiltrated Thor's council, and now Desmond lived the comfortable life of a light faction citizen while operating his underhanded operations with the title of a police official.

" The soulmancer has made me suffer a lot, but I swear on my ancestors bones that I will have the last laugh on this matter ". Asmodeus replied as he clutched his fists in anger.

Desmond studied Asmodeus for a while, then a light smile broke on his lips as he said " That day might come very soon Asmodeus, I have saved you this time because lord Lucifer wants to give you a chance…. It's a rather glorious chance I wouldsay…..a chance for you to regain everything you have lost if you only manage to retrieve one small object for the lord ".

" Anything for the lord Desmond, even my life ". Asmodeus replied in a heartbeat, giving proof of his loyalty towards Lucifer.

" We have secured a total of 35 spots in the upcoming Dragon's Paradise dungeon run.

You will have a smart team of 34 of the best dark faction younglings we could find under your command for the sole purpose of finding and retrieving a dragon egg.

Your objective inside is simply finding the egg of the black and golden dragon monarchs, and securing it to become a mount for none other than lord Lucifer himself ".

Asmodeus's eyes widened in surprise when he heard that the black and golden dragon monarchs were actually having a baby!

If this were true then the born dragon baby would undoubtedly have the potential of becoming the sole unified ruler of the dragon clan, the first one in over 400,000 years.

( Inside an isolated cave in Dragon's Paradise )

" Grrrr ". The black dragon queen, ' Rhea ' groaned at the pain of childbirth.

Childbirth was a painful process even for her, a tier 8 dragon who had lived for over 7,000 years now." My queen we need to keep it down " her only attendant ' Nancy ' said as she nervously checked her surroundings.

Rhea grit her dragon teeth tightly shut, she knew better than anyone that the whole world, especially the weaker dragon breeds of red, green and blue were after the life of her baby.

" Ahm " , a soft sound escaped her mouth regardless as a beautiful dragon egg was laid out covered in her blood and womb juices.

The dragon egg was black through and through, but golden linings adored it's ridges making it look as the most divine egg in existence.

Rhea looked at the egg with the loving eyes of a mother as she used self healing spells to regain some of her lost health.

" Congratulations my lady, the egg looks very pretty ".Nancy said as she congratulated the monarch.

Despite Nancy's subservience to Rhea, she was actually a tier 6 dragon god herself and an absolute menace to any opponent of her lady.

Placing her own egg beside that of Rhea, Nancy was embarrassed to see that her own egg was about four times smaller and was a black egg with golden polka dots splashed all across.

Rhea lovingly wrapped her tail around both the eggs as she said " I'm sorry Nancy, I never want anything bad to happen to you or to your baby, but from today onwards for the next 3 years, I'm sorry but you will have to live your life pretending to be me".

Nancy knew this fact all along, she had been very strategically instructed to mate with a golden dragon god, only two days before Rhea made love to the dragon monarch.

Rhea was not dumb, she was 7000 years old and one of the strongest existences in the universe. However, being a dragon queen having the responsibility of raising the undisputed dragon emperor of the next generation, she used her own divine essence to enrich the dragon egg inside her womb defying the laws of the universe at the cost of her own health and well-being.

Had Rhea been at full power, she could slay all dragons in this plain with one single attack, but the childbirth had taken a lot out of her.

It was embarrassing for her to admit it, but she was even weaker than Nancy at the moment with no option but to recover her strength slowly and over time.

But she knew it full well that this would be her situation after childbirth, which is why she prepared Nancy as her decoy.

Using mana manipulation and illusion magic, she changed her skin and her egg colour to red and then proceeded to shrink her and her eggs size to match that of a small tier5 dragon.

Placing her crown on the floor, she gave Nancy orders to place it on her head and head out to live her life for the next three years as the Dragon Queen Rhea.
