"Seeing your expression, you know what this thing is for," the Dragon Lord laughed heartily, shedding his disguise and transforming the firearm back into a handgun.
Just then, Dr. Zheng happened to walk into the courtyard.
He blinked at the Dragon Lord's transformation, trying to confirm if he was seeing things correctly.
When he saw the handgun in the Dragon Lord's hand, he was momentarily puzzled, then walked in and greeted them cleanly, "Dragon Lord, Elder Zhou."
"Little Zheng, you're here," the Dragon Lord beckoned, telling Xiao Zheng to sit down before continuing with Elder Zhou, "Come, Elder Zhou, let's go see how powerful this handgun is. You'll be truly astonished then."
"Not so fast. Tell me, where did this come from?" Elder Zhou, though eager to see the handgun's power, held himself back and stopped the Dragon Lord.
"Northern Frontier."
The Dragon Lord stated its origin.
"Northern Frontier?" Elder Zhou was taken aback. Did Lin Xiao get it? Judging by the Dragon Lord's demeanor, it didn't seem like something confiscated from others. It was more like he was saying this was developed by the Northern Frontier.
This...
When did the Northern Frontier have a research and development department?
"Yes, that young man Lin Xiao had someone procure it. And what's more, this thing can be mass-produced now," the Dragon Lord said, placing the handgun on the coffee table.
"Mass-produced?!"
This time, Elder Zhou was stunned.
If such a thing could be mass-produced, then wouldn't all of Dragon Country's...
"Don't overthink it. Production capacity is limited, only enough for the elite special forces. And it will take some time. According to Lin Xiao, the maximum output is 300 units per day," the Dragon Lord explained, also recounting the transaction between Lin Xiao and Qi Tian.
"That young fellow from the Tool Sect?" Elder Zhou nodded, he was aware of this matter. However, after a moment of contemplation, he said, "We'll need to visit the Tool Sect then and have a chat with that old fellow. His disciple needs a good talking-to. For his previous actions, if Lin Xiao hadn't intervened, he wouldn't have deserved to live even ten thousand times over."
"Naturally."
The Dragon Lord understood what Elder Zhou was referring to.
They were all fully aware of the transactions between Qi Tian and the Pretty Country, but Lin Xiao had thwarted them all. Furthermore, Lin Xiao had stated that he would handle the matter, which was why the two elders had not interfered.
Otherwise, let alone Qi Tian, the entire Tool Sect would have been affected!
The Dragon Lord's might compelled even these reclusive sects to obey obediently.
If not...
No sect could withstand the threat of True Dragon Qi and the power of destiny.
Even though the Dragon Lord was old now, with the help of Lin Xiao's previous Nine Needles of Rejuvenation, it would be quite simple for him to destroy a sect using True Dragon Qi.
It's important to note that destroying a sect doesn't mean eliminating its strongest members, but rather severing the sect's destiny, its dragon脉, and its resources, along with all its future hopes.
As for those old fellows, they would naturally pass on when their time came.
Only Xiao Zheng sat there feeling utterly confused, wondering if he shouldn't have come today.
"Oh right, Xiao Zheng, come with us to test the power of this thing. We'll get you one then," the Dragon Lord called out, beckoning Xiao Zheng, and they all rushed towards the shooting range.
