Another World’s Fruit Tycoon - Chapter 45

While Zhou Kun was catching up with Naby, they were still unaware of the commotion that had just arisen in Lan City due to the appearance of Anbabu.

“Why is there an aura of the giant dragon near Lan City?” The members of the Magic Association were the first to discover Anbabu’s aura, which caused a commotion among the several pets of the Magic Association.

“There had been no traces of giant dragons in the past hundred years. Yet, a dragon’s aura appeared all of a sudden. Could it be a mistake?”

“Impossible! It can’t be wrong, it is the aura of the giant dragons!” Luke answered firmly.

“No, I must go take a look and find out what happened.”

Ever since Luke got the Ambergris from Zhou Kun previously, he managed to make a breakthrough in his experiments, but when he tried to study it further, he was stuck at a bottleneck at the key point again. Hence, the first time a giant dragon appeared in Lan City, Luke couldn’t wait to come and check the situation.

On the other end, after the Besius Empire waged a war with the church, the former emerged victoriously and smoothly included Lan City in their map.

The one who took over Lan City was none other than the Bansai Family that had previously evacuated the city overnight. In less than half a year, the governor of Lan City had already changed hands for the third time.

The Bansai Family, who was busy collecting their battle gains, began to get nervous after detecting the dragon’s aura as well.

“Governor, a mage detected some dragon aura outside the city,” the guard hurriedly rushed forth to report, appearing rather nervous.

“What? Why are there giant dragons near Lan City?”

Having lived in Lan City for numerous years, he had never heard of a dragon’s lair nearby. Where did the giant dragon suddenly appear from?

It was not surprising that the patriarch of the Bansai family was nervous. After all, the Bansai family had just experienced a great war. If a rampaging dragon were to show up, it would be no less than starting a small-scale battle for them. That situation was not something the Bansai family would be happy to see.

“The current situation is unclear, but it seems that the Magic Association has already sent people there.”

“The Magic Association has sent their people there? In that case, let’s do the same and investigate the situation.”

Accordingly, the Bansai Family sent someone to investigate. Coincidentally, Zhou Kun knew the person who had been sent. He was Ross Bansai who had a mustache and was the organizer of the previous auction.

Anbabu, who had been in hibernation, could sense the familiar scent of the other world. The giant dragon who had been trapped for a long time was eager to hover and exhibit its body.

Soon, Anbabu detected that there were plenty of people in the surroundings who were rushing over. Hence, it gave Zhou Kun, who was beside him, a reminder. Just as Zhou Kun was about to leave, he saw a familiar figure whom he recognized to be Luke who had bought the Ambergris from him previously.

Luke saw a green-colored Wind Dragon hovering over the forest from a great distance away. He originally decided to watch around for a while. After all, if it was a dragon that had the intention to attack, then it wasn’t something he could mess with, but Luke soon found out that it wasn’t that simple, as there seemed to be two other people standing beside the dragon.

What is going on?

The curious Luke decided to take the risk and inch closer to see what was going on. To his surprise, upon approaching, he immediately recognized Zhou Kun to be the same young man who had sold him the Flame Dragon’s Ambergris a few months ago.

Ross Bansai did not arrive much later than Luke, and he similarly recognized Zhou Kun as well. However, the thoughts that went through his mind were much more complicated than Luke’s.

Although it had only been a few days since Zhou Kun had opened the passage, several months had passed in the other world.

Countless things had happened during these months, and the source of it all was the dragon fruit that Zhou Kun had brought to the other world.

As the family that auctioned off the dragon fruit, the Bansai Family was naturally involved in the core of the matter.

After the church declared ownership of the dragon fruit, the Bansai family evacuated overnight, taking the only dragon fruit seed with them and the Dragon Crystals from the auction that Zhou Kun hadn’t taken with him. They then sought refuge in the Besius Empire.

Now that the Bansai Family had returned to Lan City after overcoming the dangers, why did the adventurer who caused everything, appear once more all of a sudden?

He even appeared with a giant dragon.

Everything was way too coincidental.

“Anbabu, come back!” Zhou Kun exclaimed. Following this, Anbabu, who was hovering, transformed into the size of a lizard again, the form it previously had. It then returned to Zhou Kun’s arms.

It was just a simple action, but it made the expressions of Luke and the rest change.

Luke thought, ‘This young man managed to obtain the Ambergris and dragon fruit from Pilux previously. Yet, he can now summon a Wind Dragon. Where did he come from?’

Ross Bansai’s expression changed slightly. Previously, he thought that Zhou Kun was just an ordinary adventurer, so he tried to send him away by casually giving him a sum of Dragon Crystals, thinking that the matter regarding the dragon fruit would be over. To his surprise, the unassuming young actually had a dragon. Things were starting to get tricky.

“Sir, do you still remember me? I’m Ross Bansai.”

The reason that Ross Bansai said that was actually because he couldn’t remember what Zhou Kun’s name was at all. They only had a brief encounter, and Zhou Kun’s pronunciation was extraordinarily confusing to him back then.

“How could I forget about you, Mr. Ross Bansai? After all, I have a huge sum of money that’s being safeguarded by the Bansai Auction House.”

Zhou Kun did not expect to meet Ross Bansai again. Previously, he heard from the residents of Lan City that the Bansai Family had fled overnight. Hence, he no longer carried any hopes of getting the money he had earned from the auction of dragon fruit previously. To his surprise, he ran into a member of the Bansai Family, Ross Bansai, whom he had interacted with previously.

However, Zhou Kun was still not aware of the appointment of the new governor of Lan City at present. Previously, Little Naby had been on the run for numerous days from her killer. Hence, she did not know much about the situation of the world outside.

Upon hearing Zhou Kun mention the money that he had left with the Bansai Auction house, an unnatural expression formed on Ross Bansai’s face, but he quickly started behaving politely again.

“Sir, the sum of money that you’ve left with us was too high, and the situation is a little special now. There are some details that we might as well discuss in the Bansai Family’s manor. Shall we?”

That was Ross Bansai’s invitation to Zhou Kun.

“Young man, you…” Luke looked at Anbabu which was lying in Zhou Kun’s arms and hesitated to speak further.

“Just call me Cohen. What’s the matter?”

“If you’re free after leaving the Bansai Family’s place, can you make a trip to the Magic Association in Lan City?” Luke asked, not mentioning anything else.

Zhou Kun stated that he would go only when he was free.

After the previous incident, Little Naby no longer had a good impression of the nobles. Upon hearing that Zhou Kun was going to visit the Bansai Family’s manor, she tugged Zhou Kun’s sleeve forcefully.

Zhou Kun initially thought that Naby had gotten shy after seeing the strangers. Consequently, he looked down at her, only to see that her eyes were filled with worry.

Zhou Kun touched Naby’s soft hair and gestured for her to relax.

“Mr. Cohen, please come with me,” Ross Bansai said respectfully.
