SSS Ranked Reincarnation: Dark Dragon Legacy

Silva didn't throw a punch back; he got up and started walking away—another segment of his plan to really sink it in that he was only defending himself.

And the four elves bit the bait and attacked him all together. That was when Silva moved faster than their eyes could follow and got behind one of the elves.

"You know, you shouldn't seek out trouble when you do not know what you are dealing with," Silva said. The elf froze in fear. Silva's fist slammed into his spine, the elf arched backward in pain, and then fell to the ground.

The remaining three elves were stunned after seeing this. How fast did one have to be to do what Silva just did? They started retreating, but Silva wasn't going to let them walk away that easily.

You see, all he was looking for was his ticket to do what he wanted, and they gave him that ticket when they attacked him, so he wasn't going to waste it.

He dashed at one of the elves, grabbed him by the wrist, and then flipped him over his shoulder, slamming him into the ground.

The third elf and the leader saw that there was no running away. They decided to fight it out. With the two of them, it should be possible, right?

But their thoughts were absolutely wrong. They pulled out their swords and attacked Silva, but he parried the swords with his hands and grabbed them by their throats.

He slammed them into the ground, causing them to pass out. Silva stood up and was about to walk away, but he was immediately surrounded by elves with bows and arrows.

"Don't move, dragon. You are being arrested for causing havoc in the city, so follow us quietly," one of the elves said.

Silva looked around and then raised his hands with a smile. "Please, do what you need to do," Silva said, and the elves immediately grabbed him and pulled him away while others watched from the sides of the streets.

Silva was locked up in a small cell while he waited for someone to determine whether he was innocent or not. After about ten minutes, an elf arrived and took him out of the cell into another room.

He was pushed onto a chair, and then the elf sat across from him.

"You attacked four elves and beat them up on the street. I don't know how you found yourself in this city, but you are in big trouble," the elf said.

"Well, they attacked me first, to be honest, so it's not my fault. It was purely self-defense, and I have proof of that," Silva said and took out a crystal. He placed it on the table.

The elf took the crystal and activated it with Mana. It projected the whole thing that happened, showing how Silva was only defending himself.

But then the elf crushed the crystal right in front of Silva.

"You see, there is no way you're getting out of here, dragon. You have to be dumb to think that I'd support you just because you have proof," the elf said. He reached out to grab Silva, but the doors blasted open.

Amber walked in, seething with pure rage. Her eyes locked onto the elf, and she walked toward him in slow, heavy steps.

The elf looked at her and could easily tell who she was—the princess of the empire. He could feel the killing intent coming from her, and it sent shivers down his spine.

She grabbed the elf by the neck and lifted him up easily. "You waste of space, how dare you lay your hands on Silva," she said in rage, and then slammed the elf into the wall. The elf passed out immediately.

She let the elf fall to the ground and ran to Silva, hugging him. "I'm so sorry, Silva. I'm sorry for coming so late," she said as she hugged him. Silva patted her head slowly and spoke.

"You came, that's all that matters. But I don't plan to let this unjust setup slide. I was brought here as a special guest, and then thieves attacked me. I was unjustly arrested, and finally, the elf destroyed my evidence to make me take the fall.

Normally, I would have been able to break out of all of this in seconds and gone home, but I wanted to follow the rules out of respect for you, Amber," Silva said.

The more Amber heard from Silva, the angrier she got at the elves that captured him. Silva was holding himself back for her sake, yet those stupid elves had to treat him harshly.

"Silva, I'm really sorry for everything that has happened. I'll do my best to ensure that every one of them who laid their hands on you will be punished. If you want, they can all pay with their lives," she said.

"No, no, you don't have to kill them. I'm just angry at what they did," Silva said.

What he was doing, to be honest, was a clever plan to ensure his hate spread and people started coming against him, like today when he didn't even do anything.

Silva and Amber left the place and returned to the hotel. Silva took the remaining time to rest while he waited for the news to spread.

Knowing Amber, she'd probably find the people who arrested Silva and give them punishment. And that was exactly what she did. She found them all and gathered them right at the manor of the mayor.

The mayor hadn't come to greet Amber since they arrived, and that could be seen as disrespectful to the Royal Family. But Amber, without issue, decided that she would visit first.

So why not drag along all the people who dared lay their hands on Silva and make sure that they got their full punishment? And if the mayor couldn't give it, she'd give them the punishment herself for sure. Find more chapters on empire
