YM778.TV 353 Chapter 353
"Great Elder, I can no longer dream about the future." Said Miranda, discouraged.
"Mhmm. This is not really a big problem. Although few have a unique ability awakened. I remember reading in a book that these skills can come with limitations. We will try again tomorrow, or next week, anyway, we have already made great progress, and we are no longer in the dark." Great Elder said, thoughtfully.
"Yes, the Great Elder is right!" Miranda perked up after hearing this.

"5 times... I see, your ability must have a usage limit per day or week, maybe even per month. Whether you like it or not, it is a powerful ability that predicts the future, however, let me know if you can see the future again." Said the Great Elder Alberto to Verderail.
"Yes, I\'ll let you know as soon as it happens again." Verderail sighed. He can only regret his ability to have a limitation. He felt a little upset about this result, but he could only swallow his frustration, and try again tomorrow.
Of course, Verderail was not entirely frustrated, he was just pretending in front of the Great Elder. He had a bigger goal and was very close to being realized, something that even the Great Elder does not suspect. It was also the reason he didn\'t attack Theo...
*
Theo couldn\'t help laughing when he saw their reaction. He also had a major shift in thinking. Before he just wanted to take revenge, but after getting into the minds of many red dragons, he realized that only a few are bad at the points of being obnoxious, but there were many good red dragons. Just like Little Emma\'s mother.
Thinking of Little Emma\'s mother, he remembered that before returning, he wanted to talk to her. Before he was skeptical about her character, since he was from the Red Dragon Clan, but after he read her memoirs, although superficial, he knew he was a good person and was very sorry for Little Emma\'s "death".
It didn\'t take long for Theo to arrive at the home of Mrs. Elisa, Little Emma\'s mother.
Elisa is a charming woman with long red, light green hair dragon eyes, she wore a simple, black dress, looking like she was in mourning. Her eyes were pitiful, almost lifeless.
Theo sighed and descended from the air and landed on the ground, surprising Elisa who was watching the sky, as if she were waiting for something or someone.
"Who are you?" She asked calmly. No glimpse of panic was seen in her eyes. She looked at Theo indifferently, without showing any significant reaction.
"Mhmm. I have a lot to talk to you about but before that." Theo stopped talking and created illusions around the grounds of Elisa\'s house.
"Okay, now we can talk." Theo smiled.
Although Elisa did not understand this man\'s intention, she felt her heart racing, not because she was attracted by Theo\'s appearance, but it was something more, it was as if her instincts said she should hear what this man had to talk to her, and for some reason, it gave her life again, even if only a little, she didn\'t understand very well at first because she had this feeling, but as a woman who lived a long time, believed in her instincts, she also thought she had nothing to lose.
"Let\'s talk inside, come in." She waved and walked to the door.
"Mhmm." Theo nodded and followed her into the house.
In the house, it was a little spacious, big enough for a family of 5. In the living room, Theo sat on the couch and Elisa sat across from him.
Elisa still had the same expressionless face. She looked at Theo and said, "Sir... What do you need to talk to me about?"
"Theo, you can call me Theo." He said, "Before I talk, I need to show you something."
Elisa nodded without expression: "Okay, show me."
Then, on the right side, on the white wall of the house, images were projected by Theo\'s illusions. It was as if they were watching a 3D movie at the cinema. Elisa\'s expressionless face was no longer expressionless.
In the images, Orothi, Little Emma, and a few more red dragons were flying over a village, and that\'s when a golden fox appeared. The video continued to roll, until all the red dragons died, or at least almost all.
Tears stream from her eyes, Elisa looked at Theo hopefully.
But before she could speak, Theo said, "There\'s still more, keep watching."
"Mhmm..." She nodded, with complicated emotions.
In the video, Little Emma
had her memories erased by Theo and became a new "person", since then, she was living with Theo. Then, the atrocities that the Red Dragon Clan has been doing appeared, as well as Miranda having sex and conspiring with the elders. Verderail, he was not innocent, he set this up, all because he wanted to have full control of the clan.
"Now that you\'ve seen it all. I have a proposal for you..." Theo said slowly but was interrupted.
"I accept!" She said decisively, without even listening to what proposal he was proposing to her, but she can guess.
"Wait. Let me talk." Theo said, helplessly.
"It doesn\'t matter, you are with my daughter, and I see that she is living well, although she forgot me..." She sighed with emotions in disarray, she was happy for her daughter is still alive but sad to forget everything about her and her late dad.
Theo decided to be more direct: "Okay, Mrs. Elisa, before saying what I have to propose, you need to know that your husband was not killed in service to the clan, but was killed by the current Clan Leader, Verderail."
Her eyes widened, she asked in disbelief: "W-Why would he do that? My husband was an ordinary clan officer, he had no reason to kill him."
"This may be true, but not entirely." Theo said: "Your husband\'s ancestor was actually a true red dragon. Not a red snake evolution, just like all of you. When Verderail discovered this, he did his best to kill your husband."
"How is that possible..." Elisa became skeptical, she couldn\'t quite believe what she was hearing so easily.
"You know your daughter has an affinity with magma, right?" Theo asked.
"Yes, I know, it came from her father..." Her eyes lit up, she asked in a shaky voice: "This... this affinity came from my husband, is that why you said that?"
"Yes, only a true red dragon is born with that affinity, well, at least that\'s what had on record that Verderail finds." Theo explained: "So, he wanted his daughter to grow up with his family and then, he would make her his wife, think, if he managed to have a son with the heiress of the real red dragon, it would be difficult to dethrone him. But of course, he had different plans."
"He not only wanted to marry her, but Verderail also wanted to make Little Emma duplicate himself, and then, he would eat the egg and inherit the lineage of the true red dragon. That would be the apex of his rise."
"That... does he know that Little Emma is alive?" That doubt that worried Elisa after hearing all this.
"Yes, but you don\'t have to worry, nothing or anyone in the Red Dragon Clan can go against me!" Theo said confidently, "I have full confidence in exterminating this clan on my own, but I don\'t intend to do that, because after I came here, I discovered that there are many innocent "people" who are only used by the real wrongdoers."
Theo continued, fiercely: "A new Clan Leader must appear; Verderail and the old elders need to disappear!"
Just as Elisa was thinking deeply, Theo spoke again.
"Regarding my proposal, I hope that Mrs. Elisa will consider it carefully."
