chapter 36 The shock of the Dragon Group===

"Alright, you now know what you wanted to know. Time to head back!" Having finished teaching them a lesson, Alexander was no longer interested in wasting time with them. Instead of staying here, he'd rather go back to comfort his cousin! Damn it! Why do I keep having these annoying thoughts? Well, it's mainly for the sake of Little Evelyn! He gave himself a justifiable excuse. The three members of the Dragon Group stood together. Lustful Serpent and Isabella Tantai looked at him warily, while Wood Man maintained his usual stoic appearance, his eyes occasionally flashing with intelligence. "It seems we've underestimated Tianhai. I didn't expect a small place like Tianhai to have a master like Alexander Xu. It appears you've been hiding your skills quite well these years!" Isabella Tantai had already investigated the details of the Xu family before coming, but she never expected the root of all problems to be this debauched young master. Alexander just smiled noncommittally and said, "Not only have you underestimated Tianhai, but I have too. Don't linger in Tianhai. Go back and improve your skills. And pass a message to the higher-ups: Alexander Xu of Tianhai will always be a citizen of Huaxia!" By saying this, he was clearly stating his stance: he would not stand against his country, as he too was a citizen of Huaxia. Whether as Azure Dragon or Alexander Xu, he would always be a part of Huaxia. Isabella Tantai looked at him in surprise, a hint of a smile appearing on her usually cold face. She playfully said, "Since Alexander Xu will always be a citizen of Huaxia, would you be interested in joining the Dragon Group? With your strength, I'm sure the group leader would agree!" Having witnessed Alexander's strength, Isabella Tantai suddenly thought of recruiting him. The Dragon Group's selection was extremely strict, but for real masters, the doors were always open. The Dragon Group needed experts, especially top-tier ones like Alexander. Moreover, if Alexander joined the Dragon Group, it wouldn't matter if he wiped out the Blood Wolf Squad or caused chaos in Tianhai. As long as he didn't threaten national security, the Dragon Group could protect him. That was the audacity of the Dragon Group! "I won't join the Dragon Group. I have more important things to do," Alexander said, shaking his head and refusing Isabella's offer. He added with a light laugh, "On your way back, tell Dragon General to visit Tianhai when he has time. I'll treat him to a drink, sixty-year-old Huadiao wine!" Dragon General! This was his trump card and the reason he dared to admit to the Blood Wolf Squad incident in front of Isabella. It had been a long time since he last drank with Dragon General, and the image of that humorous yet domineering old man involuntarily appeared in his mind. "You know Dragon General?" Isabella exclaimed. Even when Alexander had named them, Isabella hadn't been as shocked as she was upon hearing about Dragon General. The existence of Dragon General, the founder of the Dragon Group, was known to few. He had been living a secluded life in recent years, rarely intervening in the Dragon Group's affairs. Most of the members didn't even know of his existence. She knew because the man who had once spanked her had drunk with Dragon General, and she had been unfortunately dragged along as a wine server... Lustful Serpent and Wood Man looked at her curiously, asking, "Who's Dragon General?" Even after several years in the Dragon Group, they had never heard this name. From Isabella's tone, was Dragon General another important figure? "Don't ask what you shouldn't," Isabella glared at them. They shrank their necks and shut their mouths, but their faces still showed curiosity. Brandon and the others were even more astounded, realizing that even Dragon Group's own members didn't know about someone whom Alexander knew! They wondered how Alexander came to know these people. But their last doubts were completely dispelled when Alexander said he would always be a citizen of Huaxia. From that moment on, these twenty-five men wholeheartedly accepted Alexander as their only belief. Alexander nodded and said, "As I said, the people I know and the things I'm aware of are far beyond your imagination. So, you should head back. Tianhai isn't as chaotic as you think..." At that moment, Isabella suddenly thought of that annoying figure. She felt this man was so similar to the one who had bullied her, except for his face and physique. The annoying smile, and the wicked eyes, were just like that bastard's! If she hadn't already checked Alexander's background, she would have thought that the bastard had gone for plastic surgery! "If the Young Master Xu knows Dragon General, I'll surely convey his message," Isabella said, shaking her head to clear the annoying image from her mind. Isabella had never doubted the strength of the Dragon General. She believed that as long as the Dragon General takes action, no matter how powerful Alexander is, he will eventually die! She could no longer understand this man. Not only did he know them, but he even knew someone like Dragon General! The situation had exceeded their expectations, and they were powerless now. All they needed to do was report back, and the decisions from above were not for them to ponder. Alexander smiled and said, "I don't have many virtues, but I always remember what I say." "Alright, then we'll take our leave," Isabella bowed slightly to him and added, "Since Young Master Xu has asked me to convey a message to Dragon General, I dare to ask him to pass a message to 'Ferret' as well. The patience of those above is limited. He should be cautious. If there's a next time, it won't be us coming!" Since they had confirmed that the incidents in Tianhai were caused by this man, 'Ferret' must also have an unusual relationship with him. Invading the national missile control center was something that couldn't happen again! Though they couldn't confirm 'Ferret's' identity now, locking onto Alexander Xu, it wouldn't be difficult to trace 'Ferret's' identity. "I'll convey your message!" Alexander replied with a slight smile, making a "please" gesture with his hand. After receiving Alexander's confirmation, the three turned and walked away. The situation in Tianhai had exceeded their expectations. They would report back, and whether to continue investigating the whereabouts of the weapons cache would be up to the higher-ups. "Don't always wear these clothes, Isabella. Try a cheongsam next time. It suits your figure, especially your buttocks..." Alexander Xu suddenly called out to them, a mischievous smile on his lips. "Go to hell!" Isabella turned back furiously, throwing two gleaming daggers straight at Alexander's face. The daggers were swift and deadly. An ordinary person would never be able to dodge Isabella's angry attack, but Alexander easily dodged, calling out, "I'm just looking out for you!" He insisted it was for Isabella's own good. She needed to show more femininity. With her tough demeanor, it was unlikely any man would dare to marry her... As he watched the three leave, Alexander shrugged. She was still the same! Such a beautiful woman always put on a frosty facade, wearing training clothes all year round. He imagined her appearing in a qipao in front of him, licking his lips at the thought. That would indeed be a beautiful sight! Once their figures disappeared from sight, Alexander turned to his battered team members. Dropping his nonchalant attitude, he said coldly, "You've disappointed me. From today, your training will be doubled!" If he hadn't arrived in time, they might have been annihilated. It seemed his training intensity for them was still not enough. He had high expectations for this team, but they were far from reaching the level he recognized. "Don't worry, Young Master Xu. Next time, we definitely won't lose to them!" Brandon's eyes sparkled with fighting spirit. The recent battle with the Dragon Group had made him acutely aware of his own strength growth. Before, facing experts like the Dragon Group, they could only admit defeat. Now, although they had still lost, they possessed the strength to fight the Dragon Group. Given time, they would surely surpass them! Wasn't surpassing the Dragon Group's power exactly what he sought? "Let's hope so," Alexander nodded, looking at the four who were still standing. "After you finish your daily training, come directly to the villa to find me." "Really?" Big Bear immediately jumped up, excitedly shouting, "Thank you, Young Master Xu!" Big Bear, though straightforward and honest, was not foolish. He understood that Alexander intended to train them personally. They had trained for so long, and Alexander had never personally guided them. Thinking of Alexander's formidable strength, they had always been envious. Now that they had such an opportunity, they would not let it go. "Don't thank me yet," Alexander waved his hand, saying, "Be prepared to endure hardship or even lose your lives!" "As long as we can become as strong as Young Master Xu, we can endure any hardship!" Swift Blade and Water Buffalo, also among these four, were equally excited. Alexander Xu nodded slightly and, before leaving in his car, turned back and said, "If you can pass my training, I'll give you a name." If they could pass his training, they would become an existence like the Dragon Group. Perhaps it was time to give a name to this team...
