I, Valon, am frantically searching for my mother.

"Mr. Wayne, as such a young golden dragon, why did you choose to come to Hel City?"

Facing the reporter from Jade Newspaper, who wore a professional smile and held a stenography notebook and a photo crystal, Wayne's face revealed a complex expression of just the right amount of sadness and a hint of longing.

"Actually, I've been an orphan since I was little. My mother, a great and brave golden dragon, sacrificed herself in a battle against terrible evil while I was still a fledgling dragon, all to protect me and our home."

"I have never felt warmth from my clan or family. But the noble heritage left by the Golden Dragon tells me that the Golden Dragon clan is a symbol of justice, courage and order."

"I've heard that Hel is a legendary city of justice, protected by golden dragons. It's a place filled with light, and it's where my kind gather."

"I came here to seek justice and the companionship of my people, and it is my inescapable responsibility to eradicate the filth and evil that hides in the light and affects this great city, as well as to inherit my mother's legacy."

The reporter applauded at the opportune moment.

"Your story is truly moving! Mr. Wayne, your great act not only saved so many children, but also reaffirmed justice in our city of Hull."

"Both the children and everyone in Hel admire you. Do you have anything to say about that?"

Wayne immediately straightened his back, his red eyes in dragon form burning like two small suns:

"Some say justice is dead, but I disagree! At least in this great city protected by the golden dragon, justice still shines brightly. I will strive to climb Mount Valius, return to my people, and together uphold justice!"

"So please vote for me in the upcoming Hel Star ranking! Let's uphold justice together!"

"Wow, Mr. Jinlong's answer was truly brilliant! This interview with you by Jade Newspaper is about to conclude. Mr. Jinlong, is there anything else you would like to say to the readers who will soon be reading this newspaper?"

Wayne thought for a moment, then took a deep breath.

Suddenly it raised its right claw sharply, then clenched its left claw into a fist and placed it horizontally in front of its chest!

With sharp eyes, Wayne's voice suddenly rose, carrying an unwavering conviction:

"Hey!"

"All evil—"

"They will be brought to justice!"

……

It exploded! It completely exploded!

The news from Hull City has finally broken.

After Wayne swiftly destroyed the Dragon Worship Cult's sacrificial stronghold and safely returned more than thirty children to Hel City, all eyes instantly focused on this young golden dragon hero who had suddenly appeared out of nowhere!

Immediately following was a barrage of reports from Emerald Newspapers, which Vivian had orchestrated in advance, covering all aspects, angles, and dimensions!

Huge headline on the front page:

"The Lone Golden Dragon Uncovers the Demon's Lair, Thirty Children Gain a New Life! — Unveiling the Righteous Path of Heroic Golden Dragon Wayne"

Exclusive Interview: "Justice Has Never Died! — A Conversation with Hero Golden Dragon Wayne, Hearing His Story and Beliefs"

Editorial: "Looking at the Spirit of Hull Through the Eyes of Lord Wien: Why Does Justice Always Triumph Over Evil?"

There was even an illustrated story series: "The Legend of Golden Dragon Wayne (Part 1): Uncle Wayne Shoots Down the Cultists with a Dragon Roar"...

Everyone, from royalty and wealthy merchants to ordinary citizens, craftsmen, and farmers, was enthusiastically discussing this young golden dragon who loved justice, was kind, and brave.

People talked about his sense of justice and how much he longed to join the golden dragon clan of Hel and become a part of protecting the city.

Almost no one objected to the addition of such a new member with impeccable political background, outstanding achievements, and a stellar image.

On the contrary, the voices praising Wayne, calling for his acceptance, and supporting his selection grew louder and louder, almost forming a one-sided public opinion frenzy.

Even the owner of the Golden Acorn Luxury Hotel where Wayne is currently staying was moved to tears.

The owner insisted on permanently waiving the bill for the esteemed Lord Wayne, who had saved so many children and brought glory to Hel, stating that it was the highest honor for the hotel and his family.

Wayne still feels lingering fear when he thinks about it now.

The naive Vivian almost agreed without hesitation, but thankfully Wayne stopped her from doing something that would ruin his Golden Dragon design with a "General Yu's Flying Kick" at the crucial moment.

Despite the pain, Wayne insisted on paying, while the boss insisted on giving it away for free. After some back and forth, they decided to keep it all free, and Wayne gave the boss one of his shed scales as a keepsake.

This is another heartwarming story, and it has once again been featured in the Jade Newspaper.

Now Wayne's popularity has soared, and he has reached a level where he is far ahead of the top spot.

At this point, there's no need to consider going up the Varius Mountains at all; instead, one should consider the golden dragons' favorability and whether they are even willing to accept one...

"Damn it, this Jade Newspaper is really something else! At least write something positive about it!"

"How could someone so important as knowing I'm an orphan be so easily deleted?"

On the sofa in the luxury hotel, Wayne looked at the newspaper from the Emerald Newspaper and couldn't help but fly into a rage.

The dragon design for the orphan is a key element of Wayne's creation using his superhuman intelligence.

Only a dragon with no mother from childhood is more likely to resonate with female dragons of the same kind. What if a female dragon takes pity on him and is willing to be Wayne's mother?

Wayne felt that his plan was comparable to Zhongli faking his death, but the damn newspaper and the idiot who wrote the article actually forgot to write down the key points that he had personally mentioned. They were really unreliable!

As a result, Wayne secretly suspected that there might be a five-colored dragon lurking in the Emerald Newspaper, or that someone inside had received 500,000 gold coins from the five-colored dragon to specifically smear him.

"What's wrong, sir? What's making you so angry?"

Meanwhile, Vivian, who had heard Wayne cursing from the next room, deliberately opened the door and peeked out to see what was going on.

Wayne threw the newspaper at her face.

"Vivian, look at the lousy newspaper you went to!"

"I've emphasized time and again that I'm an orphan, but the newspapers didn't mention it at all! Do these people have any professional ethics whatsoever?"

Vivian hurriedly caught the newspaper, quickly glanced at it, her expression slightly changing, and she muttered to herself:

"Uh...it seems...indeed...not much detail is used..."

However, the girl's focus was clearly not on that; instead, she asked curiously:

"But... by the way, Master Jinlong, are you really an orphan?"

"Well……"

Wayne choked.

"Putting that aside, could it be...?"

Before Wayne could finish speaking, Vivian, filled with pity, buried her head in Vivian's bare chest.

"Golden Dragon Lord, don't abandon this yet, you have an escapist dragon personality..."
