The great Dragon Chapter 135: Sirens wailing,Help coming!
Serpens called Jeremy's number and listened to it as it rang. It felt like the world was falling apart and there was nothing he could do.He listened as the call connected and it was Winter who answered the phone."You got his message didn't you?" Winter began, his voice cold and dangerous. "Hope you're on way already?""Winter don't hurt the boy and his grandmother. Please, I beg you. They had not done anything wrong to you. It's you and I who have a problem, so don't drag others into it." Serpens pleaded."That's exactly why you have to be here soon if not, it'll be the end for the little boy and his grandmother," Winter threatened before the call came to an end."What did he say?" Lan asked as she could see the fright in Serpens' eyes. "Jeremy and his grandmother are in trouble and only heaven knows what Winter is planning to do with them, Serpens said, his voice a low whisper so the driver of the cab doesn't get to hear what they were saying.After a few minutes, Lan alighted fro

Immediately Winter heard the police coming, he morphed back into his human form pushing Jeremy's grandmother into the aquarium which she was sitting close to, while still tied to the chair.After that, he left Serpens to save either Jeremy or the grandmother."Good luck, Serpens, we'll meet again." He announced as he disappeared into the darkness.Serpens hurried to stop the milling machine from crushing Jeremy, but he was too late. Jeremy had died out of shock. He tried all his best to wake him up, forgetting that Jeremy's grandmother was drowning in the aquarium.The police came in at that moment and a couple of the officers hurried off to rescue Jeremy's grandmother, but they too had arrived late. The old woman was already dead by the time they brought her out of the water."Jeremy, wake up," Serpens cried. "Please don't die,"But Jeremy gave no response, his body slowly getting cold while he remained in Serpens' arms."Jeremy, please." Serpens' continued to cry. "This can't be th
The great Dragon Chapter 137: Going back to the professor
Rose stormed into Jack's office, her eyes blazing with fury. After everything that happened happened that night, she just couldn't take it anymore. "Dad, how could you?" Her voice broke in tears. "How could you kill an innocent man? What have gained from his death?"Jack remained silent, refusing to say anything. Rose understood what that meant. Whenever her father remained quiet when being bashed, it only meant one thing, and that is the fact that he already buried his conscience and will not stop until he achieved all of his evil plans, but that didn't make her stop."Dad, I'm talking to you!" Rose exclaimed angrily, but Jack remained still all the same.Just then, the television popped up with the news of the death of Jeremy and his grandmother.Rose couldn't believe her ears as she listened to the reporter who spoke on the TV."Dad, did you do it too?" Rose asked. "Did you kill Flynn's grandmother and brother?""No I didn't!" Jack turned to face her, retorting angrily."You're l

"I don't understand what you're talking about," Professor Layton's brow furrowed. "What time machine?""I really don't know the whole story. But one thing I know is that Serpens has not yet failed. Whatever is happening now can be prevented from happening, if Serpens and Xin can return to the past. There's still hope for Draketown," Rose pressed further.Professor Layton paused for a moment, trying to understand what Rose was driving at. He suddenly remembered the last time Serpens and Xin visited him, claiming they had come from a different timeline, but in his anger, he ended up chasing them away."Wait a minute. Are you trying to say that Serpens had come to the future when the dragons had not yet been released? Because that's the only logical explanation that can make me see the possibility of all that you're driving at.""I guess so. Wait let me call him." Rose said, pulling out her phone from her bag only to see that she had missed several calls from him."Serpens had been calli
The great Dragon Chapter 139: looking for a way to save Xin
The night was already far gone but Professor Layton and Rose took the risk of meeting with Serpens at the hospital. There wasn't any traffic, making the drive smooth.Professor Layton and Rose entered the hospital ward, the soft beeps of machines and gentle hum of fluorescent lights filling the air. The scent of disinfectant and the faint tang of sickness hung heavy over the rows of beds, each one a testament to the fragility of human life."So where is Serpens?" Professor Layton inquired."Must be in Xin's ward," Rose replied as they proceeded to Xin's ward which was nearly at the extreme end of hall way.They met one of the nurses who confirmed that Serpens was inside and had been there all evening."Thank you," Rose greeted the nurse wearing her ever beautiful smile.Stepping into the ward, their eyes were drawn to Serpens seated beside Xin, who was lying in the bed, surrounded by life-saving equipment, just how Rose had left her before going to confront her father.Serpens' eyes,

Serpens and Rose sat in the hospital room, surrounded by the continuous beeping of machines and the soft hum of fluorescent lights, a reminder of the fact that Xin's life was still in danger and that everything was still far from over.The weight of everything that had happened to them hung heavy in the air, a palpable force that seemed to press down on their shoulders. It was like everything that was happening, was happening so fast before Serpens' eyes that he suddenly missed the good old days with just him and sister, Serena living their peaceful and quiet lives.Serpens' eyes were filled with fear, his brow furrowed with worry. "What if she doesn't make it?" he asked, his voice barely above a whisper. "What if we can't save her?"Rose reached out, her hand brushing against his. "Don't say that, Serpens," she said, her voice soft but firm. "We have to be optimistic. We have to believe that everything will be fine."Serpens shook his head, his eyes dropping to the floor. "It's hard
The great Dragon Chapter 141: Winter's threat, Jack's rage
Professor Layton spent the rest of the night thinking of the possibility of actually turning things around if truly they would be able to carry out the blood cleansing and re-transfusion into Xin's system.As the first light of dawn crept into the sky, professor Layton made his way to the hospital, his heart heavy with the weight of what lay ahead. He had called Serpens and Rose and had told them about what he had discovered while searching for the solution to Xin's predicament.*So, you're saying if we're able to remove all of Xin's blood from her system, we'd be able to save her life, after thoroughly screening the blood before transfusing it back into her system?" Serpens' inquired, curiously."That's it Serpens. We just need to let the doctor know and then hope he agrees to carry out the procedure." Professor Layton said."Why not? Allow me to speak with the doctor," Rose volunteered. "If this is our only way of saving Xin, then what are we still waiting for?" Serpens and profes
The great Dragon Chapter 142: Hope in a difficult time
Serpens welcomed the new day bathed in the warm embrace of the morning sun, a sense of purpose mingled with a tinge of yearning in his heart. Rose had taken him to one of Brynner's guest houses where she felt he would be safe. They had both stayed together in each other's arms that night.Though they had not intended to have any form of romantic relationship, the emotional turmoil within them had clouded their sense of reasoning. They had kissed a couple of times, but somehow things didn't escalate between the two of them before they returned to their senses."I'm sorry," Serpens had apologized. "We shouldn't be doing this, not with everything that is happening,""I'm sorry too," Rose sighed. She knew she shouldn't be thinking of making out with Serpens, especially not when they were in the middle of so many crises. But she just couldn't deny the fact that she was missing the presence of a man in her life, and having been Serpens' girlfriend from five years ago, before his sudden disa
