Chapter 628 The Third Prince

Lu Yu stood on the fortress walls when he noticed the dragon-rearing master and Elizabeth hugging. They appeared to be discussing something.

Lu Yu only realized then that this dragon-rearing master was the brother Elizabeth was looking for. He was, without a doubt, Walter himself!

"He has joined the Truth Department and has even tamed the Death Spirit Dragon!"

Lu Yu exclaimed in surprise. The Death Spirit Dragon had lost its soul, and its intelligence had deteriorated to that of a common animal, making it far easier to control.

In its full form, no one could tame the Death Spirit Dragon. It had never been tamed before it was sealed, and most of the great dragons had never been tamed.

"If I am to defeat this Death Spirit Dragon, I must kill this man."

Lu Yu let out a sigh.

At this point, the voice of the Death Spirit Dragon's soul appeared and asked, "Hey, didn't you say you were going to help Elizabeth find her brother? What makes you want to kill him now?"

"He's basically on board the Truth Department ship. He must have joined the Truth Department to tame this Death Spirit Dragon, and there's no turning back for him."

Lu Yu was sure Walter had already joined the Truth Department and was in a position where it was nearly impossible to leave.

Thus, he was Lu Yu's enemy because he joined the Truth Department.

"Do you want to kill him? If we pass up this opportunity, I'm afraid the future will be difficult." The Death Spirit Dragon's soul brought it up.

"You sure? Your body is standing guard, and he has tamed it. He could destroy the entire place if we were to fight."

Coldly, the undead Dragon Soul laughed. "Don't worry. I can suppress the Death Spirit Dragon and make it stop all its movements as long as you make a move!"

"Are you sure the Death Spirit Dragon won't move even when Walter gives the order?"

"That's correct. Isn't this your best chance right now? Finding another chance to face him alone will be impossible when he returns to the Truth Department. His strength is most likely just average. You are, after all, a genius..."

The Death Spirit Dragon's soul chuckled.

"What if you're deceiving me?" Lu Yu inquired.

"Don't worry; if you don't kill that guy, I won't be able to return to my body. I'm not going to let you die before he does."

Lu Yu burst out laughing. "Am I going to die in your hands after Walter dies?"

"No, you're the one who saved me. I won't do anything to you, even though I don't care about the lives of the rest of the world."

"That's just your one-sided promise."

"Just do it. This is your only chance!"

Lu Yu began to ponder, knowing that the Death Spirit Dragon could not threaten him in its current state. It would be a different story when it returned to his body.

Once it had regained full strength, it could kill him with just a thought.

"Fine, I'll do it. Once I kill him, I'll teleport away before you return to your main body."

Lu Yu stated firmly, as he was still wary of the Death Spirit Dragon.

"You do not need to be as cautious. I've already stated that I will not harm you. Alright, act now..."

Lu Yu lowered his gaze, took a deep breath, and prepared himself.

Elizabeth raised her head to look at Walter, two tears streaming down her cheeks.

"Where have you gone, brother? Why are you only now returning?"

"In addition, the one you're riding is..."

Elizabeth asked hesitantly, looking at the Death Spirit Dragon on the fortress walls.

The dragon appeared ferocious and powerful, and none would stand a chance against it in a battle.

Walter looked at Elizabeth and gently wiped her tears away.

"I've told you before, sister. In the future, I will be Emperor of the Lionheart Empire. No one can depose me from the throne!"

"Don't," Elizabeth said helplessly with pursed lips. "Father has already determined who will succeed him. Why must you do this?"

"Father? He's nothing more than an old fart, in my opinion!"

Walter spoke up, his shoulder-length golden hair swaying.

"Don't say that, brother. We should respect our father's decision and not defy his orders."

"Are you afraid of his strength? Or perhaps his army? Or his royal blood?"

"To me, it's all a joke. I'll crush him sooner or later and reclaim everything that belongs to me!"

Walter was enraged.

Elizabeth took two steps back as she looked at Walter. "You've changed," she said timidly. "You're not the same person I remember."

"When I become Emperor, my dear sister, you will have the final say in the Lionheart Empire!"

"Maybe you can start by explaining the dragon on the fortress walls? Humans haven't seen a dragon in a long time."

"This is a gift from my patron."

"Who's that?" Elizabeth asked, perplexed.

"The man who promised to help me rebuild the Lionheart Empire!"

"Please come back, and don't hang out with those who might take advantage of you." Elizabeth gave him a worried look.

"You probably have no idea who I'm working with or what we're up to."

Elizabeth helplessly nodded. She had absolutely no idea what was going on.

"But let me venture a guess. Maybe the Truth Department, as they are likely the only powerful force that still exists in the ancient ruins?"

When Walter heard this, his eyes widened, and he exclaimed, "You know about the Truth Department? How do you even know they are stationed here?"

"Yeah, I know of it. I also know that this is their base of operations."

Walter bit his lips and tensed up. "Please tell me who told you that! How did you find out about this?"

He stepped forward, clamping both his hands on Elizabeth's shoulders, and shook her hard.

Elizabeth frowned and quickly said, "It's a friend of mine," feeling the pain in her shoulder. "He's someone from the Freedom Federation!"

"Can you tell me who it is? I'll need to kill him!" Walter demanded angrily.

Because she was aware of Walter's temper, Elizabeth lowered her head slightly. It was a difficult temper to control, and it shifted quickly.

Elizabeth paused, unsure whether she should reveal Lu Yu's name. She was in a difficult situation because she had a friend on one side and her brother on the other.

Behind Walter, a voice sounded.

"It's me. I informed her of it."

Lu Yu said as he made his way through the crowd to Elizabeth.

Walter turned around and looked at Lu Yu, and he immediately recognized him.

"You? What are your intentions by approaching my sister?"

Lu Yu looked at him coldly and stated, "I'm here to kill you!"
