Derrick ran far away, joining a town and using his managerial skills to move up the rankings. He could not directly attack Fernando, but he wanted to use connections to shorten the gap between them.
"Fernando has no clue where I am situated, but I know where he is," said Derrick in an office.
"But he has spread posters of me, claiming that I attempted to kill him and the pope with a band of misfits."
Derrick then put the papers under a desk and signed them. "This could not get any worse," he thought as he relaxed back in the rocking chair.
Rawr
A large sound came from outside the house, shaking the room that he was in. Derrick stood up in caution, looking outside at what caused the commotion. He walked forward towards the office window. A bunch of dust fell from the roof from another rawr from the creature.
Derrick looked outside and saw a… dragon. It had a streamlined body and parts of various creatures on it. This was an eastern dragon.
"I sensed the aura of a dragon born in this village!" said the majestic being in the sky. "Do not hide them from me. Or you all shall die!"
The mayor of this town walked out and came In Front of this being, and tried to calm its nerves.
"We do not know who this…dragon born, you are looking for is!"
"Then find them. I command you, or this village will be burnt to the ground," the dragon commanded.
The Mayor's face turned solemn in fear and disgust. "I will report this matter to the empire, but I must appease this being, no matter what."
"How do we find this person? You are looking for if we don't know how to search for them?" said the Mayor.
"You mortals are always so incompetent. Take my scale. It will shine when you go near the Dragonborn," said the creature while watching them with contempt in its eyes.
With that said, it disappeared from the sky, leaving behind particles of light in its departure.
"Damn bastard!" cursed the Mayor as he walked back. "Go to every corner of this town and find whoever this... Dragonborn is. I will contact the emperor. Make sure not to hurt them when you find them!"
The mayor commanded his inhibitors and went to the town hall.
He rushed to his room and tapped on an ore. The mineral glowed, and an image formed In Front of the Mayor.
"Yes, how may I help you, Lord of Regn?" said the image on the stone.
"I would like to speak to the emperor. It is very urgent. It concerns the fate of our town," said the Mayor in a hurry.
"Yes sir, I will connect you to the Emperor. Please be patient," said the woman as the screen turned black.
Derrick snuck and followed the men as they ran through the city, watching the inquisitors from afar. Very curious about what the dragon born looks like.

"•_• Oh sorry, I got too addicted to whipping you, I am still pissed I didn't get to complete the 'thing'," replied Adrian, dropping the red whip on the ground.
The middle-aged man looked at Adrian in disgust. "Why must you humiliate me and my sect? You could have just killed us?"
The rest of the inner sect disciples lay on the ground with whip marks on them as they wailed on the ground.
"Sect master, use that move."
"Sect master, I can't feel my legs."
"Everything hurts. Why can't I feel my limbs?"
"Get off me, you weakling."
The commotion continued. Adrian simply stroked the whip, looking like a sadist hooker in a GTA game.
"No worries, when I am done with you. You will have fetishes that will shame the greatest pokimane worshippers!"
The Sect Master's face paled, and he kowtowed to the ground. "I have eyes but did not notice mount Tai."
Adrian's face became more bitter as he whipped the man again. "What you called me, as bland as a mountain? Are you calling me fat too!? You saying am so irrelevant that I am not worthy to be noticed? Are you calling my mama fat???
Adrian's hands went faster with each word.
"Well, fuck you, take this whip, you dirty perverted Wuxia novel NPC. We are skipping all that filler. I am vibe-checking your whole sect grounds today. When am done with you, you will be begging not to be known,"
Adrian gave a final whip that shattered the man's bones.
"Give me face looking ahh!" said Adrian's after demolishing the man's mind, spirit, and body. "But, I gotta give you credit. You are very strong. You managed all that without a single… you handled it better than the rest of the dumplings you brought with you!"

Adrian then took a comically large bag and started putting them skillfully into it. "I wonder how much they will sell for… ransom a better word. I don't need money for this world, though. Just for safekeeping."
Adrian continued adult napping the rest and thought, "What if… I sealed each of them in a ring and give it to some average cultivator in an average village!? Might not be enough for a cheat, so I can instigate people to attack me and force them into the ring!"
Adrian was interested in this plan, but he needs to find out why he was tossed from his dimension. So he paused and used his full intelligence stat to browse not only timelines but multiple universe timelines.

"This is the timeline that's been affected?" said a man in a suit.
"Yes, multiple timelines diverged from here. We will begin the purge. Place the space-time cleaners!" Said a woman with a lollipop in her mouth, dressed in a formal suit.
A group of people in engineering clothes brought out a ball strangely and uniquely decorated and placed it on the ground.
"How long will it take?" The woman asked.
"Madam Lengel just 20 secs," the man in a suit said

"Motherfu, Fake ass time variance authority. I look like Kang the conqueror Headass. I get fucked by an assassin pretending to be a mage headass. Ain't no way these weaklings blocked me like that. On gang they getting smoked," raged Adrian, almost tearing apart the universe.
"Calm down, stressed one," said a woman that turned up.
