Life is tough, so Honglong resorts to performing?

Chapter 66 Performance and Accident

When Loren opened his eyes again, the sun was already high in the sky.

With two days of performances and the zoo's deliberate promotion, the area outside the Heart of Lava venue was already packed with people.

Isa, along with a group of druid apprentices, maintained order at the scene.

Meanwhile, small red dragons made of red maple leaves were distributed to tourists as promotional items and souvenirs.

Loren simply shook his head slightly and looked around, which drew shouts from many people who had been watching him.

The shouts echoed through the crowd, and in an instant, most people's eyes were focused on the red dragon at the top of the skull.

This feeling of being watched, noticed, and appreciated by others gave Loren a great sense of satisfaction.

The thought that they might buy some paid merchandise after the performance brought a deeper sense of joy.

As this is their first large-scale appearance, let's do something special to give the audience something memorable.

Loren thought to himself that although he had originally decided to be an idol, he seemed to be unable to resist showing off when there were more people around.

Showing off in front of others is fun! I love it!

He quietly shook the communication token, activating the protective array above it.

At the same time, before the magic circle was fully activated, a burst of brilliant flames shot out from his mouth, heading straight towards the magic circle above.

The timing was perfect, making it appear as if the red dragon's flames had burned a hole in the membrane-like magic circle.

"Wow."

"Is this okay?"

Is this the normal procedure?

The unexpected scene sparked a flurry of discussion among the onlookers.

This seems different from the videos they watched.

Is this how you play it?

Shouldn't the dragon shake something before flying out?
Why does it feel like this red dragon is about to escape?
Before the nearby staff could explain, the red dragon perched atop the giant's skull raised its broad wings.

He flew up.

Before everyone's eyes, the red dragon left the small prison that confined it in the blink of an eye, the magical light enhancing its wings, leaving two long red streaks.

A triumphant roar echoed through the sky. He stretched out his long neck and gave the onlookers below a ferocious, menacing smile.

"You've been tricked! I'm free now, haha!"

A familiar universal language emanated from the dragon's mouth, and with a flap of its wings, it soared into the sky.

It seems as if they are rushing towards that unattainable freedom.

"Holy crap, what's going on?"

"what?"

The red dragon's new performance caused an uproar among the tourists below, instantly creating a commotion.

Even those who knew about the Green Leaf Rare Animals Zoo beforehand couldn't help but wonder if it was actually a place that abused living beings, just hidden away in secret?
Even the druids were fooled?
Just as the crowd was in an uproar and the druid apprentices were trying their best to maintain order, the red dragon that had flown away suddenly turned around and flew back.

The dragon's wings swept over the crowd, and before anyone could marvel at its power, the red dragon found a good spot and spoke loudly to the crowd with a hint of regret.
"Oh, I forgot I haven't taken my flight test yet, so I can't fly away today."

"What a shame."

The red dragon flapped its wings, and before the crowd could even process the news, it began to use amplification magic to solemnly explain to them,
"The Federal Flight Management Act stipulates that high-altitude flight operations above 500 meters must be accompanied by a high-altitude flight certificate, and underage high-altitude flyers must be accompanied by an experienced pilot with more than five years of high-altitude flight experience."

"Please remember, please strictly abide by the Federal Flight Management Act. No drinking before flying, no flying after drinking, and any improper flight will bring tears to your family's eyes."

That's all for this episode of Red Dragon Legal Classroom. Goodbye!

After speaking, Loren flapped his wings and flew off to other areas, leaving the tourists completely bewildered.

Silence fell as the Red Dragon finished speaking, and the entire arena descended into an absurd silence.

What just happened?
Didn't I come to see the Red Dragon performance?
Did the Flight Management Act just enter my mind in an extremely despicable way?
Has the amount of useless knowledge increased?

"You guy!"

Finally, a laugh and a curse came from the direction Loren had left.

And with that laugh and curse, the whole audience, realizing what was happening, burst into laughter.

An absurd humor spread through the crowd.

At this moment, they were certain that all of this guy's previous preparations had been intentional.

The purpose was to give them this final stunt, so they would remember a piece of legal knowledge.

A piece of legal knowledge that you rarely use, yet can't forget!
A perfectly healthy and efficient team!

Loren was very satisfied with the new developments he had made.

Unless this group of people gets caught by the chatterboxes of the brass dragons, they probably won't encounter another dragon that will explain the law to them.

This will undoubtedly make tourists remember you.

Remember the Jade Leaf Rare Animal Park, where there's a red dragon that explains flight management laws.

This also paved the way for the dragon knowledge mini-class that was specially opened for him later.

Loren always remembered what the contract stipulated.

Rather than performing in a children's theater with that ridiculously lazy unicorn, Loren felt it was better to start a dragon knowledge class and let children listen to him talk about the law.

Whether they listen or not is one thing, but my job is simple.

You have to earn your own way of doing things at work, not let your boss dictate what you do!
As celebrities, we should have this kind of initiative!

Moreover, since that guy Morris has made so many preparations for his debut, including publicity and small gifts, how could he not take this opportunity to make a fortune, thus living up to the greedy nature of the Red Dragons?

It's all for the sake of profit sharing among the surrounding businesses!

Loren thought happily as he continued to sweep across the arena, causing chaos and misery among the animals.

Wherever Loren went, flashes of light and gasps of amazement accompanied him. People were amazed by his beautiful appearance and amused by his teasing and mischief.

Especially after learning that this seemingly enormous creature was actually a juvenile dragon—or, in human terms, a little rascal—the contrast between its appearance and its actual size made it even more endearing and endearing to many older tourists. After all, they didn't need to discipline him when he misbehaved; other people's kids are always more fun.

Soon, Loren noticed the female internet celebrity wearing a red beret that Morris had mentioned.

Several photographers were following her. She walked around, stopping frequently, and people would come up to take photos with her from time to time, clearly recognizing her.

All the conditions match, so it's obvious that it's her.

So Loren began to descend, making strange noises to alert everyone of his arrival.

As the red dragon approached, the crowd began to disperse, while the girl seemed too surprised to stand still, staring intently at the red dragon attacking from above, her eyes filled with a pitiful look.

Several photographers stepped aside, searching for the perfect angle to capture the moment.

A vicious red dragon has abducted an innocent girl, causing a major incident at the Emerald Leaf Zoo.

For no apparent reason, Loren sensed malice.

Although the other party was handling a commercial order, there shouldn't have been any problems.

Loren's mind raced like lightning. He observed the other person's expression and discerned some clues. At the same time, he began to connect the dots of what had happened before.

Because she chose to stay at the Green Leaf Zoo, she rejected offers from a large number of zoos with commercial backgrounds and from the real entertainment industry, behind which often lie devils from hell.

Loren didn't know exactly how much of the entertainment industry they controlled or how many people served them.

Loren knew for sure that those devilish bastards wouldn't give up easily.

For those guys who manipulate contracts, the ownership of a young red dragon's contract is so valuable that even losing an ordinary company would be profitable!
Morris, that guy, probably got tricked because he doesn't know anything about this business!
Therefore, Loren did not extend his dragon claws and grab the other party as originally planned.

Instead, he used his magic to provide a reverse lift the moment he fell, preventing the woman from falling backward!
Loren watched as the other person's pitiful expression turned into one of utter shock, which further solidified Loren's suspicions.

Therefore, Loren abandoned the idea of ​​grabbing the other party and instead used his dragon tail to lift up the red beret that was flying up in the airflow.

What was originally a playful attempt to catch someone turned into a joke. Considering that he was the client and the other party was the one who received the order, Loren felt a sense of relief.

It has to be us!
We're so clever!

Lena stared at the departing dragon and the hat that had been stolen from her, and for a moment she was speechless with emotion.

The moment the red dragon attacked, the mockery and arrogance that flashed in its golden vertical pupils seemed to see through all her pretense, stripping her bare and leaving her shivering in the cold wind.

"This is the true superior race..."

"Wisdom, arrogance, power."

The last time she had this feeling was when she was facing the company's boss. That devil's mere silhouette and glance were enough to send chills down her spine and fill her with fear.

What's frightening is that, to this day, she still hasn't realized what went wrong with her performance.

She couldn't help but wonder if she really was a third-rate actress, even though she had tried her best.

But in the eyes of the Lord, he is still not worthy of participating in the real script, and is only fit to be a minor internet celebrity, taking scraps from others.

Why? Why is she inferior to those lowly people who climbed up from the bottom?
Why could she mess up such a great mission that fell from the sky? This was clearly the first time the Lord had valued her and specifically instructed her on a mission. What exactly did she do wrong?
No one will answer her question, at least not the long-gone Red Dragon.

Loren had neither the habit nor the obligation to explain himself to his enemies.

Unless the woman is buried one day and Loren still remembers this little grudge, he would probably go to her grave and tell her a story, the kind that goes on and on.

"Your eyes are off; your malicious intent is written all over your face. Your posture is wrong; you're obviously a novice at staging accidents."

"If you ask why those who climbed up from the bottom can become stars, you should ask them how many beatings they endured and how much money they swindled from others in order to get a chance."

"Only those with a way out can rely on their talent and ability to make a living; those without a way out are already fighting tooth and nail just to stay alive."

Loren knew he had a way out, so even in the lower city, he remained calm and focused on his studies.

But during his time in the lower city, he saw too many guys with no way out.

The gambler's act of repentance was so convincing that he couldn't tell the difference between truth and falsehood. Various fraudsters and those trying to climb the social ladder, upon learning that a superior red dragon lived there...

They used all sorts of tricks to lure him in.

At best, they want to get some dragon scales or blood to gain leverage for a comeback; at worst, they want to kill him and sell his parts.

If these bastards hadn't been so weak and incredibly poor, Loren would have wondered what his fate would have been.

Fortunately, all of that is in the past. He has survived and grown up to where he is today, and now he has a place to start his new journey.

Everything will move in a better direction, or at least, it won't get worse.

Loren played with the red beret with his tail, wondering if he should do something else.

So he turned around and went back.

Lena's photographer was trying to comfort her, but his eyes betrayed his disdain.

After all, this woman was no longer of any value, because she had disrupted the Lord's plans.

This kind of staged accident and frame-up is something you're most unprepared for the first time, and she still managed to mess it up during that unprepared time.

He didn't care whether the other person had tried their best or how the Red Dragon had seen through it; all he knew was that this fool had ruined everything.

Although this defeat will only further fuel the Lord's interest in the young red dragon, it is still uncertain how much those who acted alongside her will be implicated.

"You have to make it up to me."

Unconsciously, a hint of wicked desire appeared in the cameraman's eyes.

In the past, in this group, the woman with the pure and innocent style was the protagonist, while he was the supporting character.

But after this major failure, her social standing within the company has declined, and perhaps soon we'll see her in some unspeakable movies.

Before that, he might be able to get a couple of bites of something fresh.

The cameraman sized up the girl in front of him. Her skin was delicate and her face smooth. She was crying her eyes out. She was jealous of those guys who performed better than her, but she was unwilling to give them, her assistants, any perks or treats...

Being assigned to such a guy by the Lord is truly bad luck for him, but fortunately, this gives him an opportunity to take advantage of the situation...

Just as the two were lost in their own thoughts, the red dragon, the red dragon that had left, returned.

Before they could even gather their thoughts and prepare their methods, the dragon pounced down, grabbing the woman and the cameraman with each claw, and soared into the sky.
