I Received System to Become Dragonborn-Chapter 184 Telling Them

Adrien Boartusk still looks the same as before. He was a man with a stern face and a long gash running diagonally across his face.

"It's Captain now," Adrien Boartusk said accompanied by a wide smile that showed his teeth.

"Ah!" Billy looked shocked and turned to Erend.

Erend also made the same worried face.

"Are we going to get in trouble?" Erend asked.

"Captain?"

"HAHAHA," Adrien Boartusk laughed. "We've had enough problems already. I'm not going to sweat the whole thing about getting the rankings wrong."

Erend and Billy looked relieved.

After that greeting, they sat down with their superiors in the gazebo.

It felt like a long time since they met and talked to each other. Even though it wasn't that long.

"What have you been doing these past few days?" he asked.

"Well, we are enjoying days without war and not worrying about any of these dangers," Billy said.

Adrien smiled. "Yeah. This feeling of peace is great, huh."

They paused for a few moments to enjoy the warm morning sun and the cool breeze.

The area where there are many dead people is the most peaceful place in this city. There are no skyscrapers to cast a shadow against the sun and wind.

"Do you think we should let this go?" Erend suddenly asked, breaking the silence.

Adrien and Billy knew what Erend meant. He spoke of a conspiracy that is still hidden from the public eye. The conspiracy included the President and many more parties.

The president is planning something whose purpose is unknown to them.

He was just pulling threads from behind the throne of power without directly involving himself in any executions.

If the situation goes bad, he just has to let go of his hands and sacrifice his men.

"What do you think we can do?" Adrien replied to Erend's question with a question too.

Even though Erend still feel the uneasiness in his heart, he couldn't express it.

He knew that Adrien and Billy felt the same anxiety. But their situation did make them unable to do anything.

Erend can't pretend to be a hero who will reveal the President's cunning based on justice.

He knows justice in this country can only be obtained with enough power or money. And now they don't have those two crucial things.

This conversation can no longer be continued.

"At least not now," Adrien suddenly said something unexpected.

Erend and Billy immediately turned to him.

"What do you mean, sir?" Billy asked.

"We have to get something big enough. And we can't get that something now," Adrien said. 𝙛𝚛𝙚ewe𝗯𝓃𝗼ѵ𝚎Ɩ.𝒄ｏ𝐦

"Let's be patient a little longer. I'm sure the path to justice will reveal itself."

Adrien Boartusk is a man with a strong sense of justice. They should have remembered that about him. Of course, he wasn't going to let this just go away.

He is also a great leader. Only with his simple words and expressions, Erend and Billy who all thought that they were in a near-impossible situation could be optimistic again.

Erend and Billy smiled as if they saw a bright light in the dark path they were about to take.

Even though it was only a very small point in the darkness, they have gained new hope.

"We have important things to think about first." Adrien turned to Erend. "What does the military know about your strength?"

Erend just remembered about it. Things he should have remembered sooner.

"I didn't hear anything about it when we met with General Lennard," Erend said.

"I don't know if that's a good thing or not. Because it makes us don't know, if they know about your powers or not," Adrien said.

"However, the only ones who have seen Erend's power are us, and the special forces who wanted to catch us at that time," Billy said.

"You're right," Adrien nodded in agreement. "Maybe they don't know yet. And the special forces survivors won't tell because it will only make them sound ridiculous."

"You're right, sir. Now we have to keep it a secret. If the higher-ups in the military find out about it, they'll just use Erend again," Billy said.

"What about the soldiers who were with us in the bunker?" Erend asked.

"I don't know about them. But I don't think they saw your strength firsthand," Adrien replied. "They only see you fight brutally. And that time, the night is dark."

"They didn't see you turn covered in those red and black scales, and they didn't see you spewing fire from your mouth either," Billy added. Trying to sound certain.

Erend kind of forgot about all the details he did back then. Had they really not seen him do anything flashy?

If only one or two people told what Erend did, it might sound like a silly story.

But when multiple people were telling the same thing, it would become something suspicious.

'Maybe I should start meeting them one by one to ask questions later.'

Erend nodded to himself.

"Today we have the day off. But tomorrow, you will enter the military and start doing your jobs," Adrien said.

Billy looks confused. "To be honest, I don't know what our job is, Captain. We only know how to fight in the bunkers."

"Don't worry. It's not a difficult job," Adrien said, turning to Billy.

Billy nodded. "Alright. I just need to carry on as usual, right?"

"Yeah. You're used to living fighting Elves. What's so hard about having a job at the military base."

Suddenly, Erend interrupted their conversation. He felt compelled to say something that he had kept to himself.

"Actually there's something I should talk to you about."

Adrien and Billy turned to him simultaneously. ƒ𝘳𝗲𝑒𝒘𝐞𝚋𝚗𝐨v𝘦l.𝒄o𝐦

"What is that?" Adrien asked.

"Maybe this sounds absurd. However, I know that this is a real thing and it will happen soon," Erend said.

,m Hearing Erend's serious tone, Adrien and Billy felt a little anxious.

"What are you talking about, Drake?" Billy asked.

"In one year there will be a calamity that we have never imagined before."

Adrien and Billy immediately froze with shock and confusion.
