The Undying Mecha Emperor

Chapter 226 Pills

I blinked in confusion as I considered which one I should get hyped over first.

The captured golden mecha, or the blue dragon which was surprisingly more surprising that it already was?

But because I am the wielder of Devour, the golden mecha held a much greater attraction than the blue dragon's surprising mastery over an "advanced element".

"Yes! We got the golden mecha! Let's get the hell out of here before his backup arrives!" I shouted gleefully.

"Let's go. Little girl, you can tell me all about the advanced element later." The Ancestor said and quickly got his blue dragon to grab hold of the golden mecha.

"Sure! But only if you agree to loan me the dragon for a couple of years. Mastery over an advanced element! That is awesome!" Princess Augustine said happily.

"You don't happen to have some sort of tool to keep the golden mecha completely hidden, do you?" The Ancestor asked her hopefully.

"Hidden from your primitive technology? Ha! Of course!" Princess Augustine wiggled her hands once more, and a thin layer of light appeared around the golden mecha.

"Awesome! For that, I will gladly lend you the dragon for two years, after the Chinese Federation wins the upcoming war." The Ancestor said in a pleased voice.

"That's fine. I have been looking for one for the longest time! To think I'll find it here, in the middle of nowhere! Ha!"

At her words though, I was reminded of several of the critical questions that I still had.

"In the middle of nowhere? So where is the middle of everywhere? Why and how was she captured by the strange clam? What exactly happened that caused her to have such amnesia earlier?"

I glanced at Bruce Pang, and could see his deep set eyes also clouded with worry.

I was sure that he was wondering about the exact same things as I did.

But what he was thinking at that moment would be something that I failed to find out, even till now, because for the last time that day, Princess Augustine suddenly collapsed in a dead faint.

"Augustine!!" My big bro shouted in horror.

But there was nothing much we could do.

For the rest of the short trip back to the academy, we were in complete silence.

Nothing else happened all the way back home.

I mean, what could happen? We were an adult blue dragon, a peak white mecha and a powerful biomech dragon.

As soon as we neared the surface, we all transfered to Chronos and got the dragons to return to their lair.

We weren't ready for the big reveal of our brand new weapons of mass destruction just yet. The right thing at the wrong time is wrong.

We wanted to gather the required intel first, and the Ancestor wanted to debrief the blue dragon as well.

But that could wait.

We had been away from the Academy for too long.

Plus, the Demoness Wang was waiting for us as well!

"Stay low for the next few days and don't cause any trouble." The Ancestor said tersely to me as we landed on his private mecha hangar.

It was late at night, and the academy was deadly silent.

However, I peeked at Chronos' controls earlier, and everything in the security report was green. All was well with the academy.

After the surprise attack that resulted in the deaths of our instructors, I would be shocked if the entire wasn't in high alert.

Vice Principal Jeannete Wen was probably in Alert 5 status at that moment.

"I believe I do not have to remind you that everything that happened is top secret? Nobody, including the Whitefrosts, can know about even the tiniest detail."

I opened my mouth to reply, but he wasn't done.

"Come to Bruce Pang's office first thing tomorrow morning. The Demoness will probably want to talk to you. And tell me the moment Devour comes back online! At that very moment, you hear?" The Ancestor said sternly to me.

"How the heck am I supposed to tell you right away? What if I am doing number two in the toilet after a huge meal?" I asked him with an irritated tone.

"Here. I don't care if you're on number two or number three. Call me right away!" The Ancestor said as he updated my comms with his personal contact.

I was probably the only student in the entire academy to have his contact on my personal comms, but we were too caught up in our own thoughts to bother commenting on that historic fact.

As soon as we landed, my big bro held Princess Augustine and leapt out of the cockpit.

Jeanette Wen and a medical team were already there, and they quickly disappeared.

An instructor I did not recognize brought me back to my room, and it was only when I looked at Roland Hu, Jack Yang, and Barrick Rui's wide open eyes staring at me as though they were seeing a ghost that I finally felt I was… Home.

"Holy smokes, is that Justin?" Roland Hu whispered loudly to the other two.

"No way, Justin is dead, remember? He disappeared without a trace for so many days! Farrel and the other punks were already celebrating his death!" Jack Yang whispered back.

"Justin? Who's Justin? I do not know anybody called Justin." Barrick Rui said with a frown. "That being over there is obviously the spirit of a traitorous bastard who disappeared without first telling his best buddies what the hell was happening. Let us exorcize it."

I grinned widely at them and threw three small pill bottles at them, spoils of war from the abundant treasures the Ancestor had brought along with him from Blue Storm's personal collection.

"Holy smokes! That traitorous bastard spirit is throwing things at… Hey what's this? This looks really rare!" Roland Hu shouted.

Without any sense of embarrassment after calling me a traitorous bastard, all three of them opened their pill bottles and chomped on the pills greedily.
