Unspeakable bubbles

"Ding-dong, player Beta's account is about to be deleted. Thank you for choosing Awakener Game. Shortly..."

"Glorious Group, I'm not finished with you!!!"

"Beta"

In the darkness, Beta felt a small hand pull her arm.

"Bubble, bubble?"

"Hmph, you're going to send Bubble back to the Poker Kingdom, so wake up!"

"Ding-dong, player Beta has been pulled out of the Abyss of Death."

"Congratulations, lucky player, you have a chance to start over."

Chapter 717, Section 718: The Black Dragon

Beta paced back and forth in his office, deep in thought.

Will the United Nations, or rather, will His Excellency the Grand Consul, exterminate all of them, the Modified People?

Upon closer reflection, he didn't need to do that at all.

He and his old comrades had already relinquished their military power and were now content to work in administrative positions.

They pose absolutely no threat to the Union or the Grand Consul!

Conversely, killing this group of older dragoons would be a very risky thing to do.

If word gets out, it will be a scandal that will shock the world and could even force the Grand Consul to resign!

Thinking of this, Beta breathed a slight sigh of relief.

"Sir, have you logged off?" A man's voice came from outside the door.

"Please come in."

The intelligence officer who often brought him meals walked in and placed a sealed document on the table.

"Sir, this is a classified document from headquarters. Please destroy it according to procedure after reading it."

"understood"

After the intelligence officer left, Beta frowned and began to disassemble the items on the table.

There was a note with a password on it.

After memorizing the password, Beta called out to his office assistant.

It was handled with the highest level of security.

After logging into the intelligence agency's official website and completing a series of verifications, Beta found an encrypted email in his inbox.

Enter the password and open the email.

"..."

Beta's expression suddenly became unpredictable. Headquarters wanted to establish a special operations team composed of retired dragon riders, and he was appointed as the captain of the special operations team.

There's nothing wrong with this appointment. The Union can't really let a group of top combat personnel become clerks and waste their abilities, can it?

The establishment of the special operations team is perfectly reasonable.

only......

'What does this mean? Do they really want us to contribute our remaining energy, or are they using this mission as an excuse to send us to our deaths?'

Beta probably wouldn't have had this thought before, and even if he had, he would have been hoping for the best.

But ironically, he had just experienced the despair of being abandoned by the Alliance among the 'Awakeners'!

This time, Beta can't afford to take any chances.

'Why resort to force? The best approach is to wear us down through repeated missions.'

'Faced with a greater cause, we cannot even resist; we can only obediently die.'

'...'

'No, no, no, that's too extreme of me!'

Beta's face turned ashen; he felt he was developing paranoia.

"Glorious Group, you've really ruined my life..."

Beta vowed to take Glorious Group to court, but after calming down, he realized he couldn't do it at all.

Beta can never reveal what happened in the Forest of Dreams in public in court!

"What if they turn the tables and say that their subconscious mind determined the final trial?"

Doesn't that mean that, deep down, the former Dragon Rider Commander Beta harbored a deep distrust of the Union, to the point that he subconsciously believed the Union's leadership would discard him after he had served his purpose?

"..."

After a long silence, Beta slumped back in his office chair.

What good will it do to think about it more?

His position was sensitive, and he had no real power. He was helpless against the Glorious Group and could only meticulously carry out the orders of his superiors.

"Ugh"

Beta sighed, looked at the email one last time, and then deleted it completely.

'The special operations team won't be formed immediately; I still have some free time.'

'Take this last chance to relax and unwind.'

If you want to relax...

Beta hesitated as he looked at the game pod.

Logically speaking, since 'Awakener' is a product of the Glorious Group, and I just suffered losses on it, I should give up on this game immediately.

But Bubble was still waiting for him to take her home!

"I'll delete my account after I complete the hidden quest," Beta decided.

.................................................. ...............

"Beta, once we defeat the evil black dragon, we'll have reached our destination!"

"kindness"

The Frost Knight, wielding the 'Azure Star,' watched nervously as the enormous creature flew toward the two from afar.

"..."

"Bubble, after I take you back this time, I'm going back to my hometown too."

"Go back to your hometown?"

"Yes, that's right. They might not appear in this world anymore."

"Because there are many things that have to be done, therefore..."

"Hmm, does this mean Beta won't be playing 'Awakener' anymore?"

"It's a pity... um?"

The knight suddenly realized that Bubble Princess was an NPC, so why would she say something like that?

Before I could ask any more questions, a colossal creature had already descended from the sky.

"You evil knight who dares to abduct the princess, prepare to die!!!"

"What!?" Beta exclaimed in shock.

The giant claw slammed down on the knight, and Beta quickly dodged with his charge skill.

"Wait, are you mistaken? I'm the kind knight who's taking Bubble Princess back home!"

"nonsense!"

Fire spewed from the black dragon's nostrils: "The princess's guards said that an evil human has kidnapped the princess."

“Ah, Mr. Black Dragon, those playing cards must be lying.”

The little girl said angrily, "They clearly mistook the bubbles for ghosts and ran away in fear. There were no evil humans trying to kidnap the bubbles."

"Your Highness, how could your loyal poker guard do such a foolish thing?"

"Well, Bubble thinks they're silly, so it's not surprising that they would do something like that."

"The evil knight!"

The black dragon suddenly glared fiercely at Beta: "What exactly did you do to the princess?"

What have you done?

"I...I didn't do anything!"

"Questions and answers are useless, ugh!"

A breath of dragon's breath shot towards Beta, and the epic weapon in the Frost Knight's hand shone brightly.

"Open up the battle aura!"

With a furious roar, Beta cleaved the dragon's breath in two with a single, powerful sword strike.

"Oh? You've got some skill."

You're not bad either.

The man and the dragon faced off in a tense standoff, a major battle about to erupt.

"So, listen to what Bubble is saying."

"Change!"

"?"

The black dragon blinked and noticed that the knight was staring at it with a strange expression.
